Sorrow In The Stars

But how?

Zeref pov
I saw Zayla on the ground.

"Zayla!" I yelled.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked trying to get up but failed.
"I'll tell you later, so don't get up just yet." I said. I then took a deep breath and picked up Zayla.

I carried her to her room and through her bookcase. I pressed the hidden button and went to the book.

When I got into the room a man stood there waiting for me.

"Ah It's been awhile." He said.
"As to you William" I said back.
"So?" He said.
I closed my eyes and held out Zayla, motioning him to take her. I felt her leave my arms. I opened my eyes.
"Now why would you give her to me?" He asked.
"Because I know she likes you. And I trust you enough to be with her... just stay away for my wife!" I said losing my calm at the end.
"As you wish... Master" he said getting on the ground kneeling and bowing, putting Zayla carefully on the ground.
"If not I'll turn your book into pieces... and don't think that just because you saved me once that I'll let your book stay alive." I said leaving the room to go back to Lucy.

Williams pov
I bowed again as Master Zeref left. I looked at Zayla who seemed lifeless on the ground. I picked her up and stood up. I looked at my book and placed my hand on it. Us and the book began to glow and suddenly me and Zayla were in the book, in my room.

I looked at my modern black and white room and placed Zayla on the bed. I went out of the room to go find her some clothes.

Zaylas pov

I woke up in a room I hadn't recognized before.

"Hello?" I said.

Suddenly the door opened and William came in with a dress.

"ah you're awake!" he said coming in.

"William?" i said.

"This dress is for you, I made it with my magic so it would calm yours down while you're here" he said laying down my dress.

"Where am I..." I said getting off the bed and falling to my knees.

"Don't try to get up yet. We are in the book. I took you here to heal your magic. You remember what happened right?" he asked while picking me up and putting me back on the bed.

"I remember... Is my Mother okay?"

"She's fine, Master Zeref is back in the world helping her recover. He left me in charge of you because your Mother is in a bad condition."

I looked down. William put his hand on my cheek and motioned my head upwards.

"She'll be fine, your Mother has always be a fighter." He said handing me the dress. "I'll leave the room so you can change... Cheer up okay? I have a surprise for you when you're done, just say my name when you're done." he said walking out the room.

I looked at the dress and decided to change into it.

The dress was a pastel pink with a lavender hue. It flowed it's way down cutting off at my knees. It had sleeves but it cut off at my shoulder and draped down my arms. It had a belt that was black lace and it fit snuggely around my waist.

"William?" I said.
William then came back in the room and smiled.
"It looks good on you" he said.
"I feel... funny" I said putting my hand in my head.
William walked over and placed his hand on my head.
"Like I said before, I made that dress with my magic. It's so that your magic doesn't go chaotic when you're here. Sorry if it's uncomfortable right now, but you should get used to it."
"Um... I know this is a dumb question but... how do you know my size so well?" I asked.
"Haha it's a secret" he said putting his finger on his mouth.
"What? No fair!" I said.
"Zayla" he said looking down at me.
"Y-yes?" I said hesitantly.
He went to his knees and grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"Would you like to see the world I live in?" He asked with a timid look.
"But... how? I can't really move..." I said.
"Haha" he said.
He then got up and left the room and came back with water and a pill in his hand.
"Take this" he said.
"Should I ask what it is?" I asked.
"It'll help you" he said smiling.
I took the pill and put it in my mouth and then took the water to swallow the pill down.

William then took the water out of my hands and put it on a desk beside the bed.

He then came back to me and picked me up.
"The pill will take a minute to get inside your body so I'll carry you until then" he said walking to the door.

He then opened the door to unfold a massive living area. All the design was very modern and looked expensive.

He walked to the grand doors that lead outside. When he opened the door we could see floating islands with castles and palaces. I awed at the sight.

Around the islands there was different auras around each of them. None of the islands looked the same. It looked like the place would go on forever. I looked around the island we were on. It looked very antique like and it had a huge tree with books around it. It looked very old fashioned compared to the interior.

"William why do the islands look different?" I asked.
"It's because different creatures, Demons, or Gods live there." He said walking to the edge of the island.
"William?" I said scared of us about to fall into an abyss.

"Don't worry" he said, as he walked on the air.

I looked at him with my face shocked. I then shook my head to forget the surprise. This probably isn't the craziest thing I'm gonna see here anyways... besides this is in the book, he could really do anything here right? I thought in my head.
