A/N - I'M SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE!! (Personal issues)

Fun Fact: Before February 4, 2016, I had never kissed a boy's cheek. That one boy who I did, ended up being my boyfriend as of this day. Sorry, I just wanna rant real quick:

Ever see your guy get pissed because another guy was flirting with you? Because... OMFG IT'S ADORABLE.
Only Chelsee (Dover126) is gonna get this, but is it bad to think that Nolan was really cute when he got pissed at Devin because he thought Devin was flirting with me?

R e c a p

As he gently pulls away, breaking the kiss, he brings his lips to your ears.

"I love you so much, it's insane.."

------------------------------

"Once again, I'm so sorry," You say, bowing.

"Jeez, (N/N)-Chan, we're not mad!" Milliana insists, pushing your bags back to you.

"Just because you're leaving Mermaid Heel doesn't mean our friendship is over!" says Beth, ushering you out the door. "You can visit whenever you want!"

"Just go already," chuckles Kagura, gesturing to Sting, Rogue and Team Natsu. "They're waiting for you."

"Fine, fine." You say, smiling sadly. "It was fun being a part of Mermaid Heel."

"Have fun, and don't forget to visit!" Risley exclaims.

"Bye!" You wave, running off to catch up with the rest. "I'll miss you!"

As they wave, you turn, running back to everyone. "Wait up, guys!"

And so, here you are, standing in the Fairy Tail guild hall.

"So, (Y/N), you ready to rejoin Fairy Tail?" Natsu asks, wearing his stupid grin.

"You mean, Sabertooth." Sting corrects.

"No, she's joining Fairy Tail." Natsu says, clenching his teeth.

"She's coming to Sabertooth!" Sting yells.

Soon enough, their foreheads are pressed together, sparks of tension flying everywhere.

"Fairy Tail!"

"Sabertooth!"

Then, in a millisecond, they're all fighting in front of you, arguing which guild you would join or rejoin.

"(Y/N)'S OUR NAKAMA!"

"YOUR FORMER NAKAMA!"

"SHE'S STILL CONSIDERED PART OF OUR FAMILY, AND SHE'S STILL OUR COMRADE!"

"SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND!"

"HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF ASKING HER?"

"THIS IS THE MASTER OF SABERTOOTH YOU'RE TALKING TO!"

"(Y/N), WHICH GUILD DO YOU WANT TO JOIN?" They ask you, still shouting.

You cringe, sweat dropping as you mutter a small, "I don't know.."

---

Somehow, you managed to escape that mess, and now you were in your apartment, staring up at the ceiling...

Spots of crimson started to blur your vision. Before you knew it, there were binds around your limbs, and you'd blacked out.

It was like you were blind. You could sense everything around you, but it was so..

Dark.

---

"Wake up, pretty-pretty~" cooed a sadistic voice.

You groaned in response, letting your eyes flutter open.

"Welcome to Erebus Blood. Get used to it, you'll be here for a while." He says, getting up.

And before you can say anything, he barks, "She's awake!"

For the first time since you've woken up, (which was a good fifteen seconds) you looked around. The walls were decorated with all sorts of gadgets, knickknack sand weapons, (mostly weapons) and the whole place had an eerie red tint to it, due to some weird lighting. You weren't in a cage, but your hands were being hung from the wall, putting you in a kneeling position. This place was definitely underground.

From your left, there was a loud, gruff, grunt. With a harsh click, you'd been removed from the wall. A large person with scars and tattoos lifted you, and in a split second, you were being carried.. With his hand on your ass.

And then you realized there was a piece of duck tape over your mouth. Luckily, you knew how to take it off. Your lips were slightly parted, so you could stick your tongue out. Just wet the duck tape and.. You figured out the rest.[1] You got it off, but the downside was that the tape was still stuck to the side of your mouth. Oh well, good enough.

Oh, wait. You realize, My legs are bound. Great. Absolutely great.

The man tosses you to the ground, not caring that your mouth was free. He grunts again, and closes the door. This room was a bit different. Still a bit dark, but not with the strange red lighting. Instead of weapons and other random objects, this room was a worn out gray with paintings. For the most part, it looked normal.. ish. The only oddity was the pure ebony black king sized bed with a matching black canopy. On it sat a man, with stringy, shoulder length beige hair (yes, beige, weird, right?) and mix-matched yellow and red eyes, a weird scar under his left eye-the red one.

"Hey." He greets casually. "The name's Roran.[2] I'm the master of Erebus Blood."

Why is he acting so casually? Do I just play along?

You swallow up your fear and answer, "I'm (Y/N)."

"(Y/N)." He echoes. "Pretty."

He comes to sit at the edge of the bed, staring into your eyes. "Do you know why you're here, (Y/N)?"

You shake your head, trying to stop your visible trembling.

He speaks to you as if you're a five-year-old, "Well, you see, you've got a special kind of magic."

You keep a poker face as he continues, "And we need that kind of magic to.. Help our guild." You flinch, realizing that he's now kneeling on the floor, his nose just barely touching yours. "I'll say it simply, my dear (Y/N)."

He puts on a cruel smile as he licks his bottom lip, "We're going to take your magic."

"But magic is part of a wizard's life force," you whisper defiantly.

"We know~" he purrs. "And we're willing to kill for it."

You continue speaking, ignoring the terrified feeling in the pit of your stomach. "We?"

"Yes.." His voice then dilates into two as he replies, "We."

-because I don't want the chapter to be short-

"Sh-She's gone," the blue exeed whispers, staring at the messed up place that was your room.

"She's not dead." Sting whispers, shaking his head. "I know it, she's not dead."

"But the blood," murmurs Lucy, clenching her fists. "Where could she be..?"

"Here." They look to Rogue, who's standing next to a blood mark.

He points to the symbol drawn in fresh blood, "Erebus Blood."

A/N - I'm such a nice author, breaking and shattering feelings like this..
