Phone Calls (Jerza)

Erza was currently sleeping in her bed hugging her body pillow closely. She was six months pregnant and engaged to Jellal.

Speaking of Jellal, he was on a job that would only take a couple of days at most. She wanted to go with him but he told her he wouldn't let her go on any jobs now that she was starting to show.

Erza of course had protests but he convinced her to let him go alone and for her to not take anymore jobs. After their little squabble he left to go on his job, and Erza had been peaceful sleeping ever since.

No interruption.

A perfectly still night.

Like I said no interruptions.

So Erza was a little pissed off when the phone rang and interrupted her slumber.

She groaned and got up before quickly grabbing the phone and pressed answer.

"What?" She asked rather rudely.

"Yes, is this the Fernandez residence?" The man asked on the other line.

Erza raised an eyebrow. "And if it isn't?" She questioned.

The guy on the other line scoffed. "I'll hang up and find another number to call! Obviously!" The guy yelled.

Erza took in a sharp breathe. "Do not raise your voice at me sir!" She yelled. "I have ways to contact your mother!"

"Ha! Jokes on you cause I killed my mother." The man spoke a with pride.

"...To be honest I tried to kill my mother and I kind of caused her death so-"

"Wait?! What?! I was joking! I could never hurt my mother!" The man said distraught.

"I wasn't." Erza said blankly.

"Monster! How could you hurt your mother?! The person who created you?!" He screamed.

Erza huffed. "Did your mother try to take your life? Did your mother try to kill you? Did your mother attack the people you consider family? No so don't get mad at me mister!"

"Ma'am I'm so sorry! I didn't know I'm so sorry!" The man on the phone said.

Erza sighed and shook her head. "It's okay. It a common misconception. Don't worry about it really."

Erza and the man, who's name was Lawrence, continued to have a rather peaceful conversation. It carried on until Erza asked a question she had been dying to get the answer to the whole night.

"Wait, Lawrence, why did you even call to begin with?" She asked curiously.

Lawrence froze before sighing and he began to speak. "Look, Erza, if we're going to be serious about this friendship I do t want it to be based on lies."

Erza frowned in confusion before responding. "Okay...?"

Lawrence sighed and he was about to respond before the phone was snatched away from him.

"Wait-" Lawrence called.

Erza frowned. "Lawrence-"

"Hello is this Ms.Scarlet?" An extremely deep voice with a French ascent asked.

"Yes this is. Who are you?" Erza said.

The person voice cackled into the phone, although it sounded more like a cough.

"My organization, along with your new "pal" Lawrence, have kidnapped your precious boyfriend-"

"Is that all? Okay bye-bye." Erza said before she hung up the phone and tried to go back to sleep.
