ERZA'S POV

"Should that have changed my mind?"

"No" I replied bluntly.

"You wanted to see my face right but be prepared because the face your about to see is ones of a wanted criminal." I heard him get up and i waited eager to see his face.

I stared at him from bottom to up. Jellal was wearing black boots, beige pants, a dark blue shirt and a black cape that had yellow lines on the rims it matched him perfectly wait what am i thinking.

"Stop staring Ms.Scarlet." Jellal was smirking at me with only a half smirk like can this guy ever do something full not half.

"I wasnt Mr.Fernandes" I defended myself.

"Now that you see me i dont think you are going to let me waltz my way out of here." He stood leaning againest the wall but he couldnt really do much since his hands were cuffed.

"Im afraid not" I stood up and tucked my notebook back into my pocket with my pen.

"So what do you plan on doing with me?" I stood leaning againest one wall and he was opposite of me.

"I will first investigate this and you should be given charges by the end of the month in the mean time try to get comfortable because this will be your new home for the next month or so" I gestured around the room and he just nodded not the least bit of concern in his eyes.

"Thank you for the introduction Ms.Scarlet" He nodded once again.

I didnt believe that this was the most wanted man in Fiore i mean he seems normal and well nice but i cant let my guard down because once a criminal always a criminal.

"It was my pleasure"

"If you dont mind can i have some books to read while i'm down here it can get awfully boring" He blew some hair out of his eyes and i took that time to admire his blue tatoo.

"I can see what i can do but your gonna first have to tell me why you stole jewelary?" I bargained.

He let out a sigh before replying.

"I guess theres no getting out of this"

"I stole the money because i like money"

"Thats it?" I was not convinced that someone like him would steal money just because they liked it.

"Thats it."

"I dont believe you"

"Its your choice to believe me or not but thats my reason" He stated bluntly.

"Until you give me a honest reason i will not leave this cell or get you your books" I pouted at him while he let out another sigh, he sighs a lot.

"You seem to be confident i didnt steal jewelary because i liked money"

"I just dont like being lied to"

"Very well but i still wont tell you" He held his ground and i was starting to get annoyed at how slow my progress was going. I had a feeling threatening him was the only way i was going to get answers.

Without a second to lose i lunged at him full speed.

I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into the back wall quite roughly i might add. He winced a it but stared into my eyes.

I felt lost in his eyes and i found more than just the eyes of a criminal.

In a split second i dropped him and started to weep turning my back to him.

I tried to control my tears but they fell down like a waterfall.

"Shhh Its alright i got you Erza" I felt two arms wrap around me, i was now fully aware that my face was buried in his chest and he was stroking my back and whispering soothing words to me.

I let myself forget he was a criminal and started to weep clutching onto his shirt with my fists.

When my eyes had dried i let go and backed into the wall. Embarassed at what we had done.


Jellal was still standing there with a monotone expression.

"Im sorry Mr.Fernandes but i have to leave thank you for the comfort and to repay you i will bring back 2 books for you." I turned my heel and started to walk out the door.

Once i had opened the lock with my key i was about to leave when a voice stopped me.

"Promise me you'll be alright?" Did i hear correctly? How can a criminal make me feel mixed emotions?

"..." I didnt reply to him but i just stood with my hand on the doorknob.

"Erza can you promise me that?" I felt him walking closer to me and panic spread.

"You dont have to answer me but please be alright i am already waiting forward to the next time we meet." He was a few feet behind me and when those words came out of his mouth it felt like my heart was going to jump out of my body.

"Fine i promise" With that the door closed behind me and i walked away back through the halls and up into the police station where even i couldnt deny i was also anticipating our next visit.
