As I walked the streets I noticed a crowd of Pures gathering into the Selection Hall and mentally preparing themselves for the worst. But I had a plan. I spotted Erza, Jellal, and Levy walking together. I had told Erza to smuggle the spices and she handed a pack to Levy. Levy was wearing the same standard pale dress as all the other females were but she still had a little personality, her orange headband. Which she never left home without.

"Wait for Juvia!" Juvia cried and took a handful of the packs from Erza. Jellal glanced nervously a few times at Erza but looked straight ahead when he saw me looking.

I ignored the feeling of unease as I made my way to the hall.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

The doors flew open as we got into an organized line and were to address our presence during a role call. Then we were told our instructions to which tables we were assigned. I was assigned to the Front table. Which is the Dragneels reserved seats. There was always one table reserved in their honor, even when they don't attend.

I grabbed a bottle of whine, squeezing the cork off and pouring it evenly into a couple of glasses. Fingering the packet I held in my pocket. I tore the top open and poured it in, the mixture turning the blood red wine a deep crimson.

I nodded to Erza and Levy who did the same to their assigned glasses and snuck around spreading the spices to everyone.

Then the service bell rang and we piled them onto our service trays. I walked out the doors, my white dress fluttering behind me. The dangerous aura in the room always got to me. This room is full of pigs in fancy suits.

Dirty, filthy, shameless.
(A/N: Lol I actually think pigs are cute)

I watched as Juvia made her way to her assigned table and blush at the raven haired Impure who winked at her, and then spoke in a low tone, so only she could hear. This made her blush even more.

Then I saw Levy at a table with an Impure with long black hair and an orange tie, matching her headband.

Juvia and Levy came toward me and Juvia spoke up first.

"Juvia doesn't want to cause Gray-sama to choke."

"Yeah neither do I..." Levy blushed and glanced at the man sitting at the table.

I shook my head and I quickly scuttled over to the reserved table and put the two glasses down.

That's one thing taken care of...

I turned to see Erza nod her head and turn back to the Prep Room. Everyone waited in silence for the cue to begin drinking their tea. But first there was a toast in the Dragneel's honor. It was Mr. Natsu's birthday after all.

An announcer stood up on a stage and raised a glass. "Welcome all Impures to the Selection! Remember that today is not about us." A few snickers from the crowd were heard in result of the intended joke. Erza clenched her fists beside me. "This is the wine especially brewed from the capital city of Crocus, and twelve tons of shipping were carried on the bare backs of Pures. It was a rough journey, but eventually the driver had recovered his sore arms after whipping the worthless Pures. Alas the real reason why this wine is so fancy and so out of character is because we are having the special guests, Igneel Dragneel himself and and his son Natsu Dragneel accompanied by his lovely betrothed: Lissana Strauss."

Not good... everything was going according to plan...

I attempted to sneak out and back to their table, but it was too late, Natsu Dragneel, his betrothed and his father had bowed and already made their way to the table.

After the Dragneels raised their glasses I watched in horror as they brought it too their lips. The other Impures in the room had begun to cough and choke, fanning their tongues wildly. It was only a matter of seconds before the Dragneels suffered the same fate. Time seemed to stop and my heart beat out of its chest. I watched a pair of bright red lips belonging to Lissana Strauss gulp the wine down and then she spit it out and cried.

"Honey!" She whined, still panting hard from the spice, her face flushed with tears in her eyes.

Was she trying to seduce him?

"Hon, it's too hot..." She continued to gasp and pant over dramatically. I couldn't take it anymore.

I opened the doors to the Prep Room and down to the Dragneels table. Every step made my heart beat wildly. I made my way to a gasping Igneel Dragneel and a Natsu who was just about to take a sip until I yelled,

"Don't!"

But he simply winked and ignored my warning. I watched as he gulped the whole thing down and wipe his mouth with his hand.

"Well, that was refreshing." He patted his stomach satisfyingly.

"Hon, did you see what that bitch did to me!? How dare she!! Now to make up for what you let her do to me, you must have her Removed!!" Natsu simply sat there rolling his eyes at his betrothed. He made eye contact with me and I gave him a look of pity.

Even Impures had it rough...

My eyes glanced over to Igneel Dragneel, who was staring intently at me. At first he had seemed surprised of my presence, almost a little sad, but he quickly masked it by clearing his throat.

"I hope you have prepared yourself for the ultimate punishment of Remova-"

"Wait up old man." Natsu interrupted. "I think I know," he smirked, "what I want for my birthday..."

This is definitely NOT according to plan...

I read your letter. And I love you so much, but I am sorry. I have some news for you.

I'm pregnant.

I took the next step with my husband and I have already decided what I am going to name her. But that's a surprise. I know that she will live a long life as a Pure and I pray that you don't fret over her. I know that she will be forced to go to Selections after she is born. But I pray.

Don't let her turn Inpure. I am not with her for events but maybe, just maybe you are. Don't let anyone else take her and don't end her life short with a Removal. Do you promise my love?
