Broken Hearts Heal(A Fairy Tail Fanfiction)

9. Luna vs. Erza Pt.2

Himitsu's POV

No. Nononono. It's cake! CAKE! Why would she turn into her half demon form for CAKE! This was bad. Luna wasn't there anymore, instead replaced with Yami, her half demon form. Thank god a full demon form didn't exist, or Erza might have been dead already. Still, this wasn't much better.

"So this is the form she was talking about," Juvia whispered, dumbfounded. I nodded, my attention still directed at the fight in front of me. Erza got into her fighting stance. "I don't plan on giving up. Come at me, demon." Yami smiled and rose into the sky, large black wings flapping behind her.

She drew her sword, identical to the previous one, except the black swirls seemed more...vicious. She then shot down like a bullet, her sword in front of her and ready to retaliate. Erza didn't have time to dodge, instead preparing for the incoming blow and holding her sword up as a shield. The clash of the swords sent them both flying back, both landing on their feet.

Erza sprang up and charged again, her sword aiming for every open spot possible. Her silver sword grazed Yami's cheek, making a tiny cut just below her eye. Yami laughed. "Not quite, redhead." She chuckled coldly. Erza charged again, her strokes of her sword light and swift. Luna was swifter, however, dodging each and every one of her moves.

Erza jabbed at Yami's torso, only for Yami to catch her sword. Erza's face filled with confusion, along with the rest of the guild. "Isn't my sword cutting her hand?" her face read. Yami's lips curled into a wide grin. "My turn!"

She jumped back and charged for Erza. She aimed her foot for Erza's face, only to be blocked by Erza's silver sword. Luna had created a distraction, and flashed a grin as her fist landed successfully right under Erza's chin. Erza grunted and stumbled back, blood accumulating on her bottom lip.

She recuperated quickly as the fight continued. After a while, all of the punching and kicking had caused a large accumulation of dust, and soon the only thing you could experience was the sound of grunting, kicks, and the clash of swords.

I was awfully surprised. Erza was even stronger than I had anticipated, no one ever had survived this long while fighting Yami. At this point, Erza would most likely...win. Just, please don't kill her, Luna. Why was I so worried? I mean, come on! It was Luna! The soft, sweet, shy Luna! But then again, it wasn't. Murder had happened once before. But Luna told me that she was possessed by something; would it happen again? Deep in thought, I failed to notice that the fighting had stopped and the dust cleared.

I received a light tap on the shoulder from Lucy, snapping me out of my deep thoughts. "Yeah Lucy?" I asked, looking over to her to see her hazel eyes wide with... awe? "What are you loo-" I surveyed the battlefield, taken aback by the scene that unfolded in front of me. There stood...

Luna standing above a kneeling Erza, her blood red sword centimeters from Erza's throat.

Juvia's POV

I grinned wildly. Luna was able to defeat the Great Titania! THE GREAT TITANIA! Luna just stared at Erza, her eyes wide. But why did she look so... scared? No matter! I began to skip onto the battlefield, my happiness uncontainable. Suddenly, a hand roughly grabbed my shoulder, stopping me abruptly. I turned to see Himitsu, a serious look on her face.

"Juvia," she started. "You can't go out there right now. I have an idea about what's happening to Luna right now, and she's currently unstable, especially seeing she's in her half demon form.  Wait until after I go up there, okay?" I nodded, understanding the grave situation. Luna couldn't become human again on her own, could she? It would take someone, or something...

Luna's POV

I was in complete oblivion. All that surrounded me was a vast, pitch darkness. I reached out and grabbed at it, only to be greeted by nothingness. I was terrified. I knew exactly what had happened; I had summoned my half demon form. But why?

Suddenly, the pitch darkness was flooded by pictures of a tall tower. It was run down and dirty, the tower tilting to the side slightly. The... Tower... Of...Heaven? Where was that name from? The pictures switched to inside a cell, where a small boy with blue hair sat behind a small girl, admiring her... scarlet red hair.

"Scarlet. Your last name will be scarlet, the color of your hair," the boy said, a bright smile lighting up his face. I remember this. This is what I saw when I first saw Erza. I clutched my head, not wanting to re-live these dark events. But, I know I have no choice. There was no escaping it, Luna.

I was forced to watch Erza's past all over again; Jellal being possessed, Erza losing her eye, and the countless tears streaming down her dirtied face. I can't do this again, I can't, I can't, I can't!  I screamed and screamed, my fingers digging deep into my dirty white hair. I screamed until my lungs burned, until there was no sound left inside of me. I felt the dirt against my pale knees as I dropped to the ground, sobbing. I grabbed at the person in front of me, a scarlet lock intertwining with my fingers.

Erza...

 I scrambled over to her, wrapping my bloodied arms around her. "Erza... Erza... Erza..." I buried my face into her shoulder, not daring to lose my grip around her waist. "Y-you didn't do anything to deserve it. You didn't do anything. You didn't do anything. You didn't do anything. All you deserve is true happiness, Erza. I'm so sorry. I'm so, so, so sorry." I sobbed, pulling her in tighter. Erza smiled and returned the hug, starting to stroke my hair.

"It's okay, it's okay. Juvia told me about your ability back in the guild. It's all over now, alright? I'm not trapped in that tower of despair anymore. Now, I'm free, surrounded by people I love. I'm back, here in your arms, so there's nothing to worry about. I'm beyond happy in this place I am now, okay? So don't cry," she said as she ran her soft fingers through my coarse white hair.

Soon, she pulled back and stood up, helping me to my feet. The guild began to cheer. I watched as Himitsu and Juvia came rushing towards me, their eyes filled with worry. "Are you okay?" they asked in unison, Candy jumping out of Juvia's arms and into mine. I smiled, tears starting to accumulate in the corner of my eyes. "Yes. Yes, I am finally okay."

Okay, I have a lot to apologize for,

First off, I'm so sorry for my late update! With a mix of school and homework, I really haven't had a lot of time to write. BUT DON'T WORRY! THIS STORY IS NOT ENDING ANYTIME SOON! I WILL HAUNT YOU FOREVARRR!

Second, THE CHAPTER NUMBERS! Okay, so I just checked, and the numbers are out of order! I AM SO SORRY! The chapter Cake is numbered 9, instead of 7. This chapter is actually chapter 9. I think. You know how disorganized I am.

Anyway, thank you my lovelies and have a wonderful day <3
