Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover: Male Reader x Erza Scarlet

Chapter 24

A/N: Hey y'all! How have you lovely people been? I'm finally adjusting to the schedule of my semester and getting settled in for what this year has to come. Concerning the vote that I had 2 chapters ago, I tallied the score and there were 10 votes for yes and 2 for no. It seems a lot of you want the power to fuse the elements, but I'm not going to give it right away. It'll be a while before I implement it into the story. I'm going to work out some finer details to it so the power won't be extremely OP.  If any of y'all have any ideas on how to make the power not as OP feel free to leave a comment stating your idea. I'm all ears for everything. I'll be thinking hard on my side as well. Anyways, I think I've kept y'all long enough from the chapter. So, let's jump right in!

Y/N = your name

F/F = favorite food

F/D = favorite drink

E/C = eye color

H/C = hair color

S/C = scale color

"Talking"

'thinking/voice in head/talking in your head'

"Beast talking/Demonic voice"

Warning: This chapter contains some sensitive content related to depression and self-harm. If content like this triggers a reaction from you, please skip over this part of the scene. I'll leave a message in the chapter on where you can continue. Also, if any of you do suffer from depression or hurt yourself, please seek help. Talking to a close friend or family member helps greatly. If you need to, see a psychiatrist for help, they are trained to help people through these kinds of situations. If none of these work, you can always feel free to talk to me or any friends on Wattpad that you have. Even if I don't know any of you personally, I still care very much about your wellbeing.

[Erza's POV]

Well, I sacrificed myself to save my friends. I did it, guys. You can all be safe now. It feels like I'm floating in the depths of the ocean. But, I feel like I can still breathe. Slowly, the blue surrounding starts to ripple as it slowly changes. After it's finished changing, I see that I'm floating above what appears to be a funeral ceremony over my death. It's clouded over and heavily raining. Everyone's wearing either a black suit or a black dress. Everyone took their turns walking over and putting flowers upon the memorial. They all had tears in their eyes. Wait... people are missing from here. Where's Natsu? Where's Y/N? Why aren't they here?

I see a figure start to storm through the columns of guild members. They had pink hair, so I knew that must be Natsu. He walked over to the flowers and knocked the flowers off.

Natsu: "Whats are you all doing?! Erza's not dead! She's still out there I know it!"

Makarov: "Natsu, stop this nonsense! This is a funeral for crying out loud."

Natsu: "She's not dead! She can't be, Y/N promised they would be fine!"

Lucy: *breaking down in tears* "NATSU! Please, just face the truth! You're no the only one hurting from this."

Natsu was about to start causing havoc when some of the male guildmembers tackled him to calm him down. Before I could even express my shock, the scene changed again to... a forest by a mountainside. I end up flying towards a small cave in the side of the mountain where I see a figure hunched over on the ground with their hands covering their ears shaking uncontrollably. Getting a closer look, I see that there's more to them, they had S/C scales covering the left half of their body with large wings, a tail, and horns. What shocked me the most was when their eyes opened. Their right eye was E/C with slitted pupils, but the left eye is complete gold, including the sclera. The only part that wasn't gold was the large slitted pupil in the middle. I immediately recognized them. It was Y/N, but... he didn't look to be doing well. As I get closer, I was able to place a hand down on them, but, I knew they wouldn't be able to feel it. Before I realized, I was starting to hear voices coming from somewhere.
