Zervis: PURITY (Book 2)

Chapter 8: An Alvarez Island Resort Birthday Bash

Mavis' POV

Zera and I haven't been getting along very well for the first few weeks but she is my best friend and I apologized to her for being rude and over reacting too much. She forgave me and I forgave her as well. We called it truce but the feeling of of being distant with her is evident in our friendship. Everything didn't go back to what we normally have. I was beginning to build up my walls whenever Zera is around. I don't know why I'm doing this but I feel like I'm getting self-conscious about myself and whenever Zera criticize me about anything related to Zeref, I feel inferior. My self-consciousness is earring me slowly. It's like the walls are telling me to shut out everyone. I don't share what happened to Lucy, I only make small talk with Natsu, and I ignore Zera's point of view. I know it's wrong but I feel like it's the only choice that I have. What am I afraid if exactly?

That will be answered some other time, right now I have to focus on another task at hand...Lucy's Birthday... ITS TOMORROW! I'm dreading this day. I know I'm supposed to be happy, I am but not when I know what's gonna happen. I remember what Natsu told me when he showed me Zeref's office. When Lucy's birthday hits the calendars, he's going to take her to Alvarez Island Resort...I can't escape this because I know Lucy will drag me along since duh, I'm her sister and I have to be there for her birthday. When there's Natsu, Zeref is bound to be there. I'm happy yet nervous and scared. It's a mixture of all. Lucy may not know it but it looks as though she's throwing me straight into the predator's pit.

"I need to sleep this off..." I yawned while laying on the bed. My mind drifts of to certain scenarios that may happen when I do get there. I just hope that if Zeref says it's over...then it's over. No more playing around. I want this to be officially over.

I woke up to the sound of muffled echoes bouncing against the walls. This wasn't my room anymore. The place was pitch black. The only light emitting in the room was me. I was glowing white. What shocked me was that the attire I was wearing close to nothing. Actually, it's the same G-String I wore from my last nightmare.

"No..this can't be..." I tried looking around for any signs of people but there was none. "Hello?" No response. "Invel? Please...is is just a dream...you are the coordinator...do something...help me!" Still no response. I've lived through this episode before. I might as well try to find an escape route. I started walking... I mean floating looking for the exit. Why do I get this feeling that someone out there...is watching me? I swam my way to random directions of the e,pity world. "Lucy! Natsu!" Only my echoes responded. Only one name left to call for.

"Zeref!"

There goes the echo. No one was answering. Tears started forming in my eyes. I felt so lost, so alone. "Z...Zeref...h..help..." I kept on sobbing. I curled up into a ball covering myself from this despicable G-String. Why was I suited in this attire?

All of a sudden, voices started echoing around me, someone was here...no...something was here. Because there wasn't just one person...there were people here Whispering to me. I can't make up the words they're trying to say. But I listened in. "Queen...queen...queen..."
Me? The queen? The whispers got stronger as if the people calling me were right there in front of me. "Die...Queen...die...die..." My heart started pounding. Die? They want me to die? What did I ever do to them? All of a sudden white arms stretched towards me. I screamed as the hands started touching me in places they shouldn't be. The hands gripped the G-String and with a tight pull, the hands ripped the attire off me.
"No!" I covered myself with my hands but these unknown hands grabbed hold of mine and pulled them away.
