Zervis: PURITY (Book 2)

Chapter 11: Zeref's POV

Mavis' POV

I didn't get much sleep last night after what had happened. I think my last 2 or 3 hours of sleep was the most relaxing sleep that I've never had for so long. And for the first time, I didn't feel scared about my nightmares. My mind was consumed mostly by Zeref. Okay not to sound like a major fan girl,I only dream about him for a while. The rest was blank.

Anyways, since I got up early, I decided to start packing all of my belongings. Once done, I decided to take a shower. The water was cold at first but I adjusted the water temperature to a perfect heating point. Since its around 6:00 AM, I can tell that the gang hasn't woken up. I bet they partied too hard last night. Deciding to go and visit them, I quickly got out of the showers and got dressed.

But before going out, I thought of taking a look at Zeref first. Thinking about him, my face blushed pink but I didn't mind. He's not awake to see it. Pushing the sliding doors to the left, I creaked it open a bit.

"Zeref?" I opened the door to find out that he wasn't in his room. The suite's bed was unorganized signaling that he was here hours ago but then left.

"Where could he be?" The bathroom light wasn't on so he must have left. A frown formed on my lips. I expected that he would want to see me first thing in the morning.

"If I were Zeref, where would I be at the moment?" I stopped to think for a moment. He's probably back at work? maybe a morning jog? Or he had something to take care of? Hmm... I shouldn't be overthinking this. He's probably at work since you know, he's owns this resort.

Making my way downstairs to my sister's room, I felt it again. That deep feeling of being watched. I felt like hundreds of eyes were glaring daggers behind by back. I made the move to turn around but there was no one there. Even though there was nothing, the feeling of someone just standing next to me is still present.

"Whoever you are...show yourself!" There's something I noticed. I know Invel isn't the one stalking me and why would Zeref continue to stalk me when we're officially together? Someone else is here.

The empty hallway was the only thing in front of me. I heard footsteps creaking on the floor. As if I was being drugged, my eyelids were starting to drop. But I just woke up. The ceiling lights were dramatically turning on and off. Okay, now I'm scared. Taking a step back one at a time, I try to focus my vision of what's in front of me. Nothing...absolutely nothing...yet I feel a presence around me. I was about to make a run for it when...

Arms grabbed me forcefully behind my back...

"Agh!"

"Ma-aa-vis..." All of the color of my body drained but thank the heavens that it wasn't a stranger.
"Z...Zera..." She looked awful.

"Good morning.." She held unto my body since it's the only thing helping her stand. I tried to get her to stand up properly.
"What happened to you? And why are you wearing a bikini?" If I recall correctly, Zera was wearing a dress last night. She yawned from lack of sleep.
"Last night was torture. Do you know how savage Erza was? She made us do all of the dares under her rule..." Zera shivered in fear. "Oh the punishment I had to endure..."
"Come one, let's get you back to your room. Where is everybody?" I steadied her stance.
"Probably still knocked out at the gazebo. We partied too hard." Well it seems I don't have to check up on Lucy yet. I'll let them have their peaceful slumber." I am so glad I didn't stay long or else I would have been dragged into Erza's game."
"Speaking of which, where did you go last night?" Zera yawned again. "Ugh..my head hurts..." Some water and Advil will cure that.
"I have a lot to tell you but right now, you need some sleep." Zera didn't argue there. After I dropped Zera at her room, I decided to take an early morning stroll. I bet the garden looks beautiful with some morning dew splashed everywhere.
