We made a promise didn't we? (Zervis)

Chapter 17. Tears of Sorrow

Zeref's POV.

Kissing Mavis was probably one of the best things to happen to me and also, one of the worst.

I felt Mavis' body go limp. Not like faint limp but like dead limp. I quickly broke the kiss and Mavis didn't open her eyes right away and she looked rather pale. I stroked her hair and she slowly opened her eyes and gave me a weak smile.

My eyes started to tear up. I completely forgot about my curse. The curse she said I would've get. Her hand then gently touched my face and she mouthed, "I love you."

Her eyes then slowly dropped.

"No Mavis, don't. Please..." I said desperately holding her hand. Mavis flashed me a weak smile.

Her eyes closed.

Her body went limp.

It was cold.

In the same manner, the hand that gently touched my cheek slid to the ground and landed with a 'thud'. By now, the tears were freely flowing. I held the petite corpse of the person who was my friend and my lover.

This is my fault.

This is all my fault.

Mavis said bad things would've happened. Why didn't I listen to her? I killed her. I killed her. I killed her.

Look at what you've done. There can be no forgiveness for your sins now.

That cruel voice was right. This was my fault. I killed her. I killed Mavis.

It was then I heard voices. I can't allow myself to kill more people. I don't want to accidentally kill people anymore. Thus, I ran and hid. 

It seems the voices belonged to the people who were from a guild when they saw Mavis's body they stood there in shock.

"MAVIS!"

"MASTER!"

They all ran to Mavis' body and checked for any pulse they could possibly find. When they realized that she was really dead, a blonde fell to the ground punching it, a gray-haired one just stood there in shock and one with black hair covered his face with his hands to conceal the tears.

They were hurt. 

They were hurt because I killed her.

I stayed around for her funeral. She was 'buried' on the island.

Why the quotation remarks? Because the same gray-haired man came back to the island and dug up Mavis' grave. He was convinced Mavis wasn't dead. Instead, he brought her back to the guild and started performing various resurrection spells on her.

However, his work and Mavis seemingly immersive magic power created a new type of magic, an Infinite type of Magic, Fairy Heart.
