Erza's P.O.V
I walk into the guild looking for the white haired bartender. I have not had my cake today so I am getting anxious.
I caught a glimpse of white at head level and ran to it only to have it disappear. I kept looking around for Mira.
Suddenly I hear a noise outside that sounds suspiciously like a monster. I ran to it and saw a beast that towered over our town.
I requiped a sword and leaped into the air slicing the monster. Then the monster moved it's hand trying to swat me out of the air. I jumped onto is hand and ran up its arm, cutting out its eyes and i slit it's throat.
The beast fell and my sword went back into the space it came from. I wiped my hands and decided to go to the cake shop since I could not find Mira. When I got there a sign was hung on the door.
To all costumers,
We are out of town for the weekend to
get supplies for a new cake.
We will return soon.
Signed,
Magnolia Cakes
I stared at this in shock. In the years I have lived in magnolia this shop had never been closed on a perfect cake Saturday.
For a moment I didn't move. My cake wasn't coming today. Just add I was about to give up I saw a glint of white. I ran towards out and it moved forward with me so we were always the same distance apart.
The white glint went up a mountain path and I doubled my speed so not to lose it. Despite my efforts, I lost it on the snowy mountain. I heard a growl behind me and a branch broke to my left.
I turned and my swords appeared in my hands as I faced the noise. A wolf came from a bush and I hit it with the end of my sword and it fell unconscious.
I started down the mountain when someone tackled me from behind because I let my guard down. I was pinned down and I couldn't get up. As I struggled another person came outof nowhere and the person on me looked.
I used this chance and kneed his stomach and did a jackknife up. I easily won from that poor and I kept walking.
When I entered magnolia I noticed it was now snowing and shivered. My stomach rumbled and I walked to the guild. I got there and saw it was closed for the night.
I sighed and sat in the snow, just realizing I forgot my key to fairy hills. I also had no money on me which meant tonight I was on the streets. I kept shivering in the snow as I laid down in a ball.
I decided this would not work so I started walking until I was in front of Lucy's home. Gathering my courage, I knocked. I waited only a moment before the door swung open.
She looked at me and let out a gasp, pushing me inside. Mumbling things like, "Erza, what happened?", "Why were you out there in this weather?", and, "Wait, shouldn't you be at fairy hills?"
I just looked away and she understood and left me alone. I couldn't take it anymore so after I grabbed a jacket and left.
Now with a little more warmth I realized I could've changed to something warmer in an instance with my magic. I face palmed and my stomach growled as I realized I had nothing to eat today.
I walked back to fairy hills and when I was halfway there I saw a package. It had my name on it and I recognized the handwriting.
Mira
She owed me after what is been through today. I opened it and saw my key to fairy hills, my room, and another box. I decided I'd open it in the warmth of my home. I quickly closed the distance to fairy hills and went up to my room.
I opened the package and couldn't believe what I saw.
It was a strawberry cake with a super deluxe ultra rare strawberry on top. I cried.
This made everything today worth it. I silently put the cake away and went to bed. My hunger soon forgotten.
