Erza's POV

Day turns to night, and night turns to day. The cycle of my pathetic life. Now my hands are tied down with the shackles of my coming death. I find it difficult to breathe now. As I feel my breath will bring with it a toxic cloud, to follow, my demise.

My steps are decreasing by days as I grow weaker. I hate to be thought of as weak, but it's inevitable in my current situation... the games are taking over.

As I grip tightly onto my bow I feel my sanity slowly sink into the weapon. If I were to survive, would I even want to? I would forever be holding on to the crippling weight of thousands I'd killed. My shoulder would become barren with the weight of the innocent death I'd caused.

"No Erza!" My cold hand collides with the dryness of my face. I stare at the ground for moments before I take another breath. Air fogs out of my Blue lips as I pace.

"I REFUSE TO ACCEPT DEFEAT! I ERZA SCARLET AM NOT WEAK!" I yell in my mind. I slowly feel a greedy smile take place on my lips. A laughter starts to flourish and my mind starts to die. Not literally die, I mean it in a sense that humanity is ripped from my district 2 flesh. Did I rip away from home, or from hell?

"Pull it together!" I hear a soft voice in the corner of my mind.

Jellal?

"Your strong Erza, you  have to believe that or else you will fade, like the others. You put your head first and your actions second. You truly are amazing...." I feel my head slowly turn around, hoping to see the blue haired boy I so desperately wanted to see. It was then my face felt wet, my tears fell down my hollow face and to the ground.
"Jellal..." I reached my hand out, wishing to feel his meet mine. I really am pathetic...

Moaning about him won't keep me alive, I have to keep moving. I say as I pick myself off of the muddy terrain. I feel my knees buckle beneath me but I refuse to fall.

I trail myself through the pine, taking each step slowly, trying my best to remain unnoticed. However, I hear a crack behind me. My head snaps around instantly.
Maybe it's just a bunny rabbit. I bite my lips nervously. Although I carry a weapon, I feel defenceless.
"LUCY!" I hear soft voice calls from an acre ahead. I narrow my eyes scanning the area around me.
"Natsu!" The voice sounds again, this time it comes with a shadow, then a hand then a girl.

The girl's voice begins to weaken as she calls the last name.
"Juvia, it's me, Wendy!" My hand snaps quicker than  I think towards my bow. Jellal you liar, I put my actions before words.

"You said we would stick together." Her voice cracks. I am about to release my arrow when I hear her tears fall. The last piece of remaining humanity inside me drops the weapon. I feel my fingers loosen to her weeps. I can't kill an innocent little girl...

My heart strikes in defeat. The sound of the cannon shrieks. Music to my ears, except she is lying there. My feet move faster than  thought capable towards the fallen girl. Her chest is moving up and down. My heart was in my mouth, I lower my guard for a second and gently shake her shoulders.

"Hello?" I whisper, trying to keep my voice down. The girl's eyes flutter open soundlessly.

"Lucy?" She mumbles with her chapped and dry lips. I feel a lump grow in my throat.

"Er-" I am mid sentence when I hear a rustle, followed by hurried footsteps. The blue haired girl slowly sits up, to which a salmon-haired boy aids. 

"LUCY, JUVIA! I FOUND HER!" Thankfully, I made it away in time. My breath fogs in front of me, suddenly my fear of breathing dispense as I realise, I still have some humanity left inside me after all.

Jellal's POV

Am I dreaming? I swear I can see her right now. Erza. Standing, defenceless behind an old bark tree. I feel my lips coil into a sinister grin. That means I can finally feel her sweet blood against my skin. The red haired girl slowly turns her head towards me. I didn't move. Her mouth is opened in shock as her face shows signs of relief. 

Pfft, give me a break. She wants to see me dead, as do I with her. She is just luring my helpless being into one of her ill-boding traps. I feel my jaw clench as I watch her slowly run away, each second she checks behind her back. She has no idea of the dagger now in my left hand. Her face is welling with tears and her skin is pale. However, she still looks beautiful...

"Jellal!" She whimpers, showing signs of fear. Erza my darling, you are a complete idiot. Her eyes widen as I slowly brandish my blade. She turns her heel, tears more violently flowing. 

"I am the hunter, she is my prey." I say over in my mind. I feel my hearts race with adrenaline as I chase after the one I most love dearly. 

S H E  T R I P S. . .

A N D  F A L L S . . .

I feel my hands lower down to her level with my dagger. I am now inches above her with the craving of blood, that's when she smacks me. Dead on the face, and pulls me into a kiss...

AUTHORS NOTE

Quick announcement! Minna, I realise that halfway through this book it got rather confusing and my writing became very sloppy. So as soon as I ACTUALLY FINISH THIS BOOK (I WILL TRY TOO) I will go back and clean up my mistakes X3

So expect a rewritten book soon X3 as this book has about 10 or eleven more chapters to go maybe more if I can come up with other kill methods, but everything is planned out. Who will be this year's winner? X3
