Chapter 1

Erza's P.O.V.

I woke up in my queen size bed and sat up, stretching my arms before heading to my shower. Stripping out of my Hearts Kruz pajamas, I turned the knob up to hot and let it heat up. I sighed and grabbed my toothbrush from my medicine cabinet and squeezed some of my strawberry toothpaste onto it. Brushing clockwise in circles. Counterclockwise in circles. I spit into the sink and rinsed my mouth then my toothbrush. I put it away before checking the water by placing my hand under the steady stream. Stepping into the tub,I let the hot water run down my back, washing away my filth. I scrubbed my back and arms to make sure they were indeed clean. Finally satisfied I got out and dried my hair and re-quiped into my towel.

Once my hair was dry I sighed. Time to go back to the guild. It's always so rowdy. I walked around my rooms at the guild girls dorms. For 500,000 jewel a month it was expensive but worth it . While most girls only pay 100,000 a month for their one room, I had to have 5 room to fit all of my armor. I looked at all my armor lined up and thought back to when I bought each one. After getting bored of walking, I re-quiped into my heart kreuz armor ready for the day.

I walked to the guild it being only a short distance from the dorms. When I opened the doors I was greeted with a chair flying towards my face. Thinking fast I drew my sword and cut the chair to pieces while the guild was silent.

"Who threw that chair?" I asked, anger evident in my voice. Then I saw Natsu laughing and saying he won. I changed my armor again, surrounded by light as I did so. In my Heaven's Wheel armor I shot a dozen swords at him at once. He wasn't paying attention so I had the butt of the swords all hit him to knock him out and relieve the guild of the rambunctious pinkette.
Ignoring the most guild members that were staring I walked over to Mira and sat on one of the bar stools. Wordlessly she handed me a strawberry cheesecake and I handed her money in return. As I started to eat Natsu woke up and started another fight. I sighed, my eyes no longer shining from the cake.

Gray suddenly bumped into me causing my cake to fall then Elfman stepped on it and yelled something about being a man. An almost silent sounds of shock escaped my lips as they continued to fight.

Without changing my armor or drawing my sword I knocked out Elfman and and joined the fight. In the end I won with a pile of mages at my feet.

I walked back to Mira and purchased another cake. Then, keeping my cake with me, I walked over to the request board and something caught my eye. It said I had to catch a threesome that was causing trouble and the reward was cake! It was also S-class so I knew they meant it for me.

Going to Mira yet again I grabbed the quest and showed it to her. When she nodded I left, going to the dorm to pack. Next stop, I thought, the train station. And with that I tan to the dorm grasped my ready luggage and got a ticket for the train ride. As I boarded someone took my luggage to the separate cart. 

~~~

On the train ride I slept, knowing out would be a few long hours until I was back on land. I felt

the train stop and snapped my eyes open. 

The conductor announced we were now in Crocus, the place of my job. I left the train, my luggage trailing behind me. It was posted anonymously so a meeting place and time came with it. I was going to a sweets shop at noon.

I looked at the time and saw I had ten minutes so I re-quipped into my flight armor and ran, my speed more than doubled with this armor. I made it just time and I changed back into my normal armor. I sat at a booth and saw three people in cloaks and they sat across from me.

"Hello Titania, are you ready?" Said the one closest to the wall. I couldn't get a good look at them but felt a lot of magic power. 

"I suppose so. Might I ask who you are?" I responded but as I did they shared a look. One of them grabbed me and they all teleported, taking me with them. 

I felt my limbs shaking and a light blinded me. I couldn't breathe. There was no air in this place. They tricked me, I might die because of my stupidity. As soon as it started, it was over and I gulped up air.

I heard a chuckle and noted we were in a forest, very deep into a forest I might add. They removed their hoods and I had to keep in my shock.

I saw a girl with long pink hair in a ponytail and bangs framing her face. I recognized her as Meredy. I also saw a female with an orb in her hands and ebony hair. It was down and she had straight bangs hanging down loosely. Ultear, I thought, then that must mean... I looked to the left and my heart skipped.

Last, I saw the man who haunts my dreams and takes up all of my thoughts. He had blue hair and a red tattoo on one side of his face. It was none other than Jellal. 

I looked away with a slightly pink face. Then I remembered and it came to me to ask.

"Why did you want me here?" I said in a strong and demanding tone, my hands on my hips. They once again shared a look then Ultear stepped forward.

"We wanted to recruit you for our guild. You know, Crime Sorciere." She said in a completely serious voice. I was stunned. I blinked a few times while they waited for my answer. 

Jellal spoke up and said, "We'll send this request again in a month. You have until then to decide." Then in a softer tone he whispered, "I hope you choose us." Then he grabbed me and they teleported to Magnolia. He let go and they left.

Since I was already back I decided another quest wouldn't hurt. Still thinking about his offer I walked to the guild only to be challenged by Natsu.

"Come on Erza! One more fight! I'm going to win it this time!" He laughed and pointed with his overconfident grin.

Sighing I said, "Fine, I'll make it quick." And with that I equipped a sword and he made flames with his right hand.

He ran at me and I requiped into my Fire Empress armor in a moment's notice. He punched me but the fire was harmless while I had this armor. I used my sword and hit him with the dull end, not wanting to cause serious damage to a friend.

"You can do better than that!" Natsu grinned before yelling, "Fire dragon's roar!" And shot fire at me. I rolled to the side to dodge and heard the people behind me scrambling to get out of the way.

I changed my sword to the Lightning Empress staff and shot a beam of lightning at him. Natsu got hit and slid back a few feet.

"That's more like it Erza! But I told you, I'm going to win this time!" He ran at me once again with both fists on fire but once he was in arm's length, I put my hands together with intertwined fingers and slammed my hands down on his head. Natsu fell with tremendous force and his face slammed against the ground. His forehead and nose were bleeding and he wasn't moving.

With a sigh I kneeled down and slung him over my shoulder. I carried him into the infirmary and set him on one of the beds. I grabbed a clean cloth and wiped away the blood. For now that's good. Porlyusica should be by here later to help him. But Natsu has been through worse, he'll be fine.

I decided to go home after all. I walked away and a fleeing thought crossed my mind before I collapsed on my bed from exhaustion and confusion. I welcomed darkness and quiet as went to sleep.
