Chapter 231 - Partings

Chapter Cover: Erza seating by herself on her bed, as she had a book on her lap, looking out toward the window of her room toward the moon there. (#Sadgurl)

NO POV

Erza Scarlet opened her eyes as she found herself staring toward the window of her room, the sunlight shining down from the sky. The city of Magnolia was already awake and moving about from the many sounds she could hear coming from the city outside and the redhead continued to blink as she pulled herself up glancing around herself.

The room was the same as it always was and she turned her gaze toward the space beside her own for a few moments realizing that Eve wasn't there. That would explain as to why the bed felt so cold this morning. The redhead glanced down at herself noticing that she was dressed up, but the odd thing was she doesn't remember when she had dressed herself up considering the previous night...

As the memories returned to her, Erza's face became as red as her own hair. Everything that had happened that night were still as vivid almost as if she could still feel Eve's lips ghosting through her skin causing her to feel like she was tingling. She hadn't planned for things to go like that but somehow, it feel like she was waiting for it to happen for a long and having Eve completely nude in front of her had been that push she needed make things happen...

"Eve," she called out, her voice echoing across the room.

There was no answer back something which greatly confused her. In all of the romance novels that she had read, lovers always wake up together after a night of sex like that or at least...if Eve wasn't beside her, she was probably fixing up some breakfast but there was no sound coming from the small apartment at all.

Erza threw the covers off of herself as she stood up, before making her way toward where the bath was but there was no sound coming from there either. Erza searched the apartment fully but there was no sign of her girlfriend at all. She could feel herself becoming worried at that. She had thought that her talk with the girl the previous day would have been enough to push through her but...

Where did you go? She thought.

The redhead felt something in her chest, like someone had taken hold of her heart and had started to squeeze against it. She can't shake the feeling that something was wrong but for what, she couldn't really figure it out. Erza stood there in the middle of the empty apartment for a few more moments, replaying everything that had happened yesterday night but there was nothing that came up that could explain Eve's sudden disappearance.

Just...what is going on?

She shook her head.

Just calm down Erza..., she thought, She couldn't have just left after something like that...it's just not what kind of person she is...

Reassured by her own reasoning, the redhead went to take a shower before getting ready for her day. She made her way straight toward the destroyed city wanting to help as much as she could during the reconstruction of the city. She walked alone for quite a while as she made her way through the part of the city her eyes searching for any sign of the members of Fairy Tail but she hadn't seen anyone yet.

She couldn't understand why Eve hadn't woken her up or at least wasn't in the apartment. There wasn't many reasons as to why she would leave unless something had come up that she couldn't wait or maybe something she had gone to do and wasn't done. Then something pink flashed at the corner of her eyes, Erza turned toward the direction it was.
