Fairy Tail Vampire: Jellal & Erza III

Mavis & Zeref I

Mavis's POV

 I was aged 12 and working as a servant for a well known noble family in the streets of Crocus. They took me in and treated me well. I wasn't just the only young one, my very best friend, Zera. She was the same age as me but she's stubborn sometimes and always get into trouble. Still, the master always loved his servants no matter what and he always take care of them and provided everything they needed.

Now, this is my story where it all begin...

"Master Bob I brought you some hot tea." I opened the door seeing the master reading some documents as I placed the teacup on his study table. He took the cup and starred at it for a while. "Something wrong master?" I asked. He shook his head and took a sipped of the tea, "What tea is this?" 

"That's earl grey. I just bought it from the stall and decided to brew it for you today." He smiled as he placed the cup down on the table. "That's lovely, thank you Mavis. Say what's the menu for tonight's dinner?" 

"Already hungry master?" 

"Naah, I'm just curious." 

I smiled, "I'll check with the servants and let you know soon. I shall be taking my leave." I poured some more tea in his cup and left the room. I walked towards the kitchen and there was this loud noise. "LOOKOUT MAVIS!!!!!!" 

"Zera?" We both fell to the floor as some of the plates broke into pieces. "Zera are you alright?" She got up rubbing the slight bump on her head. "I'm fine Mavis. Oh no! I broke the plates!" 

"What's the matter?" Warrod, Hades and Yuri came running. "Its alright, just a minor accident." I said helping Zera up as the master came in the kitchen. "What's going on here? I heard some noise from upstairs." He looked at the broken plates on the floor. Zera quickly bend down picking up the broken pieces and she accidentally cut her finger. Blood was dripping on the floor. The master sighed as he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wrapped around her finger. "Just look at you being clumsy as always." 

We all stood there feeling amazed at our master's kindness. Zera was just starring as the master finished wrapping her finger and patted lightly on her head smiling, "You should be more careful next time." 

"AAAAAWWWWWW THE MASTER IS SO CUTE ESPECIALLY WHEN HE DOES THAT!!!!!!!" said Warrod, Hades and Yuri. Zera blushed, "Thank...you master." He smiled back as he left. I picked up the remaining broken pieces of the plate and Zera approached me, "I'm sorry for causing trouble again." 

"Don't worry Zera, its just an accident." 

"That's right. Come over here and help us peel this potatoes. We are cooking something special for tonight!" 

"Alright then." said Zera as she start peeling the potatoes while Yuri was testing the fire and the rest cutting some of the ingredients. I couldn't help but smile watching them working happily. I walked out of the mansion carrying the plastic where I placed the broken plates and tossed it into the bin. 

"Hhhmmm maybe I spend some time in the garden today." I ran down the stairs and jumped onto the soft green grass and rolled all over. I ended looking up at the crystal clear sky as the wind breeze over me. I closed my eyes feeling the wind and turning to the side seeing butterflies on the flowers. I sat up gazing at them till I saw a young man lying on the grass. I quickly got up and ran fast. 

"He's been injured." I muttered to myself and slowly lifted his head and checked his pulse. He's still breathing but barely. Blood was flowing out from his abdomen and some from his left arm. I bit my lips thinking and then I struggled carrying him on my back. I took a long time to get back to the mansion. I opened the back door and laid the injured man down the floor. 

"Mavis where have you been?" Zera came while holding a small knife in her hand. Her eyes widened the moment she saw blood all over my clothes. She ran and grabbed on my shoulders, "What happened? Did you get hurt? Please don't die Mavis!" I chuckled, "I'm not going to die. I found this young man injured at the garden." She looked at him and sighed crossing her arms, "Master is not going to be happy about this..." 

"Why not?" 

"You can't just bring a man into the mansion. Who knows what will happen later." 

I scoffed, "Please Zera he's injured pretty badly. If we don't treat him he'll die." 

Zera looked down the floor and finally gave in, "Fine...I'll inform Yuri and the others." 

Very soon Warrod, Yuri and Hades came and helped me carry the man. Zera and I cleared putting the utensils away as they placed him on the table. Zera placed the medical box next to him as Warrod took out some bandages and medicine. Yuri used the knife tearing the man's clothes. It took us few minutes to stop the bleeding and stitched up his wounds. I looked over at the clock and it was almost time for the master's dinner. 

Finally they bandaged his wounds and placed him in one of their beds in the servant's room. I covered him with thick blanket as I switched of the lights and closed the door. "I hope he is alright." 

"He's fine. We need to tell the master." said Yuri as Hades nodded his head. Zera clapped her hands together, "The master's dinner! Quick!" We all ran to the kitchen and prepared the dinner quickly. 

TIMESKIP

Zera and I rushed to the dining hall and the master was sitting alone at the end of the table. "We are very sorry master Bob." 

"Its alright." I felt really bad clenching my fists facing down as Zera served the meal and poured some water in the glass for the master. "Is there something wrong Mavis?" 

"Uhm...there's something I want to tell you master." I fell to my knees, "Please forgive me master Bob, I was in the garden and found an injured man. So I brought him into the mansion as Warrod and the others helped cleaning up his wounds and now he's resting in their rooms. That's the reason why we prepared the dinner late. I'm so sorry." 

Master Bob starred at me surprised. I looked back down to the floor. I really mess up didn't I? "How is he?" 

"Huh?" I looked back up at him. "How is he?" 

"He's fine." 

He stood up from his chair stretching out his hand to me with a warm smile. I took his hand as he helped me up from the floor. "You are such a kind person Mavis." I felt shocked by the master's words and tears were forming in my eyes. "Call me when he awakes. I shall be in my room. It was a nice meal. thank you." 

I blushed slightly watching the master walking away. Zera came patting on my shoulder, "Well someone here is blushing hard." I gasped, "What do you mean?" She laughed, "Hahaha, I'm just kidding! You should go and check the man. I'll clean up the rest." 

"You sure?" 

"Yes." I nodded and ran to the room. I opened the door, switched on the lights and sat right next to him. He was still unconscious. I waited and waited till it was half past midnight. He moved slightly and opened his eyes. "Where am I?" He sat up quickly, "How did I end up here?" 

"I found you injured in the garden." He turned around facing me as I smiled. "Hello are you alright?" He paused for a moment and then he replied back, "Much better, thank you for saving me." He rubbed his head feeling embarrassed. He has very nice features. His face is so smooth and pale, his eyes, black like the night sky. "I'm Mavis Vermillion, servant of this mansion." 

He smiled back and that really caught my eyes on him. He has the most sweetest smile.  "The name's  Zeref."
