Sabertooth's Story [Book 1 of the Sabertooth Series]

The S-Class Quest: Part 18

Erza's pov

I looked around.

"Jellal!"

I waited for an answer.

"Erza!"

I ran down the hill, to see Jellal very beat up. He was struggling to stand up. I ran over to him, and helped him.

"What happened?!" I asked.

"That kid Kaoru.......He could use Heavenly Body Magic also......"

My eyes winded.

"He did this to you?!"

He nodded. I flinched.

"Calm down Erza......It's nothing to fret about."

I sighed.

"You're right....."

I looked at him.

"You need to get back to prison, or they'll find you."

"I was thinking of something else...."

"Huh? Like what?" I asked.

"You haven't told the Magic Council about what happened in Edolas have you?"

I shook my head.

"Not yet."

"Then don't tell them."

"Huh?"

"I can pretend to be Mystogan."

"Y-You want to join Fairy Tail?!" I yelled.

He nodded.

"Why?"

"So I can be with you, Erza."

I stared at him in shock.

"With.....Me?"

"I can't get you out of my mind Erza.......I.......I just have to be with you...."

I smiled softly.

"So be it."
