That Someone ~Jerza Fanfic

Tough Thoughts

~Erza's dream~

"Er-chan I'm getting really hungry..."

"It's ok Milliana. The other boys will hopefully be back any time now..."

I stared at the ground, looking at my poor, dirty reflection in a puddle. We were out on the streets of a small time, sitting in the cold, rainy darkness with only a candle by our side. Milliana was only 6 at the time, so I had to care for her and the others. Sleeping on a little piece of cardboard beside me was Shô, he was the second youngest besides Milliana. He was short with small dark green eyes and blonde hair. We all sat close together to keep warm and wait for the others to come back.

"Hey Erza-chan?"

I turned over to see Shô looking up at me."hm?"

"When do you think we will be safe?" I held him close to me. "I don't know. We just need to keep going with ourselves." I didn't want to tell him that everything was going to get better soon. I would be lying. As we lay there, people just walked past us. Not bothering to notice filthy children like us. One or two people glared or spit on us. We were use to it so it didn't matter.

"We're back"

I turned my head to see three people walking towards us. "Look what Simon found! We got really lucky today!"shouted one of the boys, which most likely would have been Wally. He was mainly a 'glass half full' kind of guy. Wally was the spirit in our little group.Simon came over with a bag of food. Simon had dark brown hair and obsidian black eyes he was only a couple months younger than me. We were all a little family, lead by a a young boy with blue hair.

"Jellal a back too!" Milliana yelled. She went to go hug him as Simon and Wally took the food out.

Jellal looked up from Milliana and smiled as he saw me. "Hey Erza, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come with me to get something for the others?"

I stared at him. "Of course I will!" I smiled and told them we were going to get something. "Simon, watch the others while we're gone." I told him. He seemed happy that I trusted him a lot. "Don't worry Erza. I promise I will".

As Jellal lead me to our destination, I couldn't help but wonder what he got them.

We reached an ally way where I saw a box in the corner. Jellal lifted the top and picked up a grey and white kitten.

"She was in the middle of the road about to be hit by a carriage. I grabbed her just in time."He gave the little kitten to me and it snuggled close to me." He's so cute! I bet they will love him, especially Milliana!"

As we walked back to our little group we thought of names to give the kitten.

"How about muffin?" I suggested. He shook his head. "Doesn't even look like one. I know! Let's name him Ichiya"-how about no please." I cut him off. "Hmmm...what about...Ultear?" I liked that name a lot. "What made you think of that name?" He just stared at the wall. "I don't know... It just sounded...right." To be honest it was a calm and soothing name. "That's sounds like a good name. Let's go bring her back to the others.

As we walked back, I thought of Milliana's reaction when she saw the cat. Little did I know it would be a different kind of reaction.

We heard screams coming from the ally way.

"Erza! Help!" I ran as fast as I could to see a terrible sight.

~~~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up in a cold sweat. What was I just dreaming about? Why would I dream about it now? I wiped my eyes and shook the dream out of my head. "What time is it?" I stared up at the clock.

11:06

Crap! I'm late for post duty! I ran my closet and put on my normal crossed armor. I didn't really care about my hair. It looked fine anyway. After I grabbed my sword I rushed out the door.

~Jellal~

I woke up to see Milliana two inches away from my face.

"Gyahh!"

She took a step back." Woah. Take it easy Jellal. I'm here to tell you the king knows you stayed in the castle and agreed you could stay until you get a life...uh no harsh meant for that last part." I was a little surprised. "this king guy must be pretty nice to let me stay." She grinned at me and opened my window curtains to let in the light. "Yeah, the king is nice, but I would call him more of a numbskull. He does have a temper sometimes." I got out of my bead and put on some clothes I found on the dresser. "I better get going. I'm going to go look for a job in the town...uh what are you doing?" I said. She skipped around my room, apparently looking for something. "I'm trying to find my cat mittens I bought last week. Here they are!" She pulled a pair of small pink and green mittens from a little hole."Sorry about that. Good luck finding a job! If you need me, I will me in the grand hall!" She skidded out of my room.

I went to go brush my hair when I noticed A piece of paper on the floor that Milliana must have dropped. I was curious to read it, but I thought that would be rude so I decided to bring it to her. I ran out of the room trying to catch up with her when suddenly I heard a big crash! I opened my eyes to see that I accidentally knocked in to some girl.

"S-sorry." She got up, not even paying attention to me.

As she ran past me, I caught a glimpse of her hair. Scarlet...hair? I stared at the ground as a memory flashed in my head

-flashback-

8 years ago

"Hey, what's your name?"

I walked up to a girl who looked a little younger than was.

"E-Erza" she was obviously feeling gloomy about something, but I decided not to ask.

"Do you have a last name?" She shook her head. I looked at her hair and grinned. "How about scarlet?" She lifted her eyebrow. "It's the color of your hair. That way you won't forget it." She made a half smile and chuckled. "I like it. Thanks..."

"Jellal"

-Present-

I got up to see the scarlet haired girl had left. Who's Erza? I thought. I kept thinking about that name as I looked for Milliana.

A/N: Hi people sorry for the late chapter! I was being held back from it because of school and homework...and no wifi..and no food to keep me satisfied while I look for said wifi.
