Sting watched as the fairy fell from the clutches of Minerva. He thought it was funny the whole time she got the shit beaten out of her. It was Minerva's style, to torture a person, but when she let go of her, he knew she was intending to kill her. Sting never cared for anyone, except himself and Lector. Then, came along Rogue and Frosh and he let them in. He saw her teammates running forth towards her, but he could tell they weren't going to make it in time.

He decided to take action into his own hands. He knew he was going to be penalized and excluded from Sabortooth, but if it meant saving someone's life, he'll take the risk. He jumped down from the balcony his team was on and landed on the ground. He could hear the gasps of people from the stands, but he couldn't let her die. He ran towards her and caught her in time and just as he predicted, her teammates didn't make it on time. He laid her on the ground as everyone started surrounding her. He could see the little Dragon Slayer and God Slayer trying to heal her. When he looked up at Minerva, she didn't look pleased, but rather pissed at him. She came down from the water dome and started attacking him. Everyone watched as he dodged the attacks, not in the mood for Minerva's bitching.

"YOU TRAITOR! HOW DARE YOU GO AND SAVE A FAIRY LIKE THAT!" Minerva screamed. He dodged every attack she threw at him. He would hit her back, but he wasn't in the mood. He simply dodged the next attack and ran up and grabbed her wrists.

"Maybe if you hadn't intended to kill her, I wouldn't have. There's a line between torture and killing. You wouldn't want to be killed by some fairies by what you did to one of them now would you? I just technically saved your ass." Sting replied with a sly smirk before leaving the arena. Minerva just looked at him, ready to pounce on him once more, but Ezra, Gray, and Natsu were in her face already.

Sting left the stadium and walked around the town. He went to a nearby bar and got himself a drink. He didn't save the fairy just to save Minerva's ass, no. He would've just let her fall to her death but something was bothering him about the girl. It must've just been pity, giving she lost against that Flare girl and now Minerva. That fairy just couldn't help herself but be weak. He let out a chuckle and stayed at the bar until eight o'clock. He decided to go visit the fairy and see how she was doing. It was just pity, he reassured himself once he made it to the stadium once more.

He made his way towards the infirmary and with his good hearing and sense of smell; no one was present at the time except for the blond. He walked into the room and saw the girl fast asleep. He sat down on the chair next to her and saw her short breathing. She was bandaged, as far as he could see, all over her body. She also had some scratches on her faces and it seemed like some scars would remain. He sighed at how Minerva had left her. If he didn't catch and had fallen, she could've died, but if she had survived, she would have most of the bones in her body broken.

As he was about to leave, he heard her mutter a few words.

"Please… don't leave me…." She said in between sobs. He couldn't help but pity her dreadful state. He then sighed once more and sat next to her again. He laid his hand on her check and she stopped crying.

"I won't, I promise." He said in a whisper. Before he knew it, he was up against the wall and swords were pointed his way.

"Ah, if it isn't Fairy Tail's own Titania." Sting said as he laughed at the red head before him.

"What are you doing here? This isn't your infirmary." Erza said as she held on a tight grip on his shirt.

"Just visiting a fairy I HAPPENED to save you know. Couldn't help but pity how dreadfully she lost against Minerva. Anyone who dares go up against her is asking for a death wish." He said casually.

"If so, why didn't you let her fall to the ground?" Erza replied with a smirk. She knew she had him in a tight corner and she just needed to conform her suspicion.

"…." Sting stayed quiet at the girl's question. He didn't have to tell the fairy what he REALLY was up too. If word got around, he would be humiliated like that other girl in front of the whole guild and be forced to remove his own guild make. He saw the swords get closer and gave in. he was NOT going to die in the hands of a fairy.

"Fine. I just believe Minerva went a little too far on torturing her. We wouldn't want our one of our STRONGEST members to die in the hands of a fairy now would we?" he replied with sly smirk. He could tell he was pissing of the red-head, but he didn't mind. He watched as the blond stirred in her sleep.

Erza was really pissed off at the moment. She knew those were not his true intentions but she let him go. She knew he'd give in, everyone does. Even the worst of criminals do in the end.

"Titania," Sting said as he made his way over to the door, "Don't you dare tell anyone I came here. If you don't, I'll pass by tomorrow and tell you the truth, what do you think?" he said before he left. Erza let out a small sigh as she made her way over to Lucy's bed.

"Don't worry Lucy; we'll make that Minerva get a piece of her medicine. Whoever gets to fight her, that is. I'll also get the reason on why Sting saved you. "


A/N: It WAS going to be a one-shot and it being longer, but I really wanted to make it into a story. Let's just hope I don't fail like my other stories. I hoped you guys liked it though!
