Erza stood behind a crowd of people that were gathered in front of Fairy Tail. The clouds were gray and it was raining. Everyone around her was wearing black and they were crying. Is this a funeral? She scanned the area and saw faces that she had never seen before, but she also saw familiar faces. "Hey, Elfman!" Erza called. Elfman was near the back of the crowd, crying into Lisanna's shoulder. "She was such a man!" He sobbed, "Why her?" So a woman has died? Was she from the guild? Erza moved closer towards the crowd. She was able to push past people who seemed to not even acknowledge her presence. In the middle of the crowd, she found Natsu and Gray with Lucy and Juvia.

"Gray-sama . ." Juvia moved to comfort the Ice Mage, but he swatted her away. Gray was standing straight and tall, but he had his arms tightly crossed over his chest and his teeth were gritted. Tears ran down Gray's face and his shoulders shook from him holding in the sobs. Natsu was the same. The only exception was that Natsu had a few veins popping out in anger. Lucy had her hand over her eyes as she cried, but she didn't suppress her sobs like Natsu and Gray. This must be someone from the guild if everyone's this upset. "Natsu! Gray!" Erza called.

The two boys didn't respond. Are they ignoring me? Erza stomped over towards them, intending to smack both of them in the back of the head. Just the opposite happened. Instead of smacking them, Erza's hand went straight through them. What the- Erza saw from the corner of her eye the casket with the dead Fairy Tail member. She pushed past more people to get closer. Surrounding the casket was Jellal, Mirajane, and Makarov, but the person in the casket put Erza in a state of shock. There lying in the casket, Erza looked at herself.

With a large gasp, Erza sat up and was covered in sweat. She looked around and saw that she was in the inn room that Jellal had paid for them to stay in that night. She was in bed and next to her was Jellal who was fast asleep. It was just a dream? Erza closed her eyes and took deep breaths to calm herself. I need something to drink. Erza got out of bed and went to the mini fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. After a couple of sips, she put the bottle back in the fridge.

Erza crawled back into bed and just stared at the ceiling. Why did I have that dream? Was it trying to tell me something? While recalling the dream, that familiar feeling from Simon's resurrection came back. What is happening to me?

~Flashback~

How were you able to communicate with me before? Only the spirit and their wizard can do that.

That is true, but we have a certain . . . bond.

A bond? What do you mean?

Ask your lover whom I also spoke to.

~ End of Flashback~

Jellal? Erza looked over at her sleeping husband. Does he know what's happening to me? Is that why he's been so secretive? Erza's thoughts were nagging her and it was driving her crazy. "Jellal!" Erza whispered as she shook him awake. I have to know! "Jellal, wake up!"

The Heavenly Body Mage stirred in his sleep. "What is it?" He asked groggily. "We need to talk." Erza said, "Get up." Jellal sighed and sat up, rubbing his eyes like a small child. "What's the matter?" He asked, his attention fully on Erza.

"What happened between Asclepius and I?"

"W-What do you mean?" Jellal tensed. Does she suspect something?

"He said that he and I had some sort of bond."

"A-A bond?"

"Yes." Erza nodded. "And he said I should ask you what that meant!" She narrowed her eyes at Jellal.

He gulped the large lump in his throat. "Uh, well . ." He averted his eyes from Erza.

"Jellal," Erza took his hand in hers. "please tell me what happened."

"Don't get mad." Jellal warned which made Erza raise an eyebrow. "Asclepius has helped me before . . . in the past. He brought back someone that was special to me."

"And?"

"That person was you." Jellal clarified. "Erza, you died fourteen years ago."
