Hello! Welcome to my first fanfic, as you can see it's heavily about Erza Scarlet and Irene Belserion. I really do love the pair so here it is! I do apologize in advance for any typos and grammatical error and other stuffs. Characters maybe a little (okay hugely) OOC and the plotline and the story may be greatly different from the canon, here's what I tell you: My imagination, my world. Do please bear with my needy heart, I just want Erza and Irene to have angst scenes. Some chapters will be short, but some will be longer. I do not own Fairy Tail. Enjoy! R&R!

The ground beneath her trembled but she paid no mind. Her vision is blurry and she thinks she'll throw up any second now. Erza wiped the trickling blood away from her brows and examines her surroundings. "Now where am I?"

Her vivid memory only contains of pushing Gray out of the way and attacking the soldiers who tried to kill him. Then they ventured towards west, or was it north? She can't remember because of her injuries.

"I overdid myself." Erza winced as her leg nearly gave up, "Again."

Judging by the sun's position, she suspected it must be about early afternoon. Her vision started to spin and she felt lightheaded, 'Not now..' she thought.

She looked down and saw her right leg and arms need great attention, Erza cut off long pieces from her battered and bloodied sleeves and tried to prevent more blood to gush from her wounds.

"Erza, don't overexert yourself." Gray said after drinking from a water container.

The said woman didn't answered, but Gray continued walking, knowing what the woman is thinking of.

"It's best if we find Wendy faster," Gray passed her a loaf of bread, "you were already badly injured, so we need her help."

Erza finished the bread and looked at Gray, "What should our moves be? Wendy must be with Chelia, but I think I remembered Lamia Scale in a battle with the army. I don't think it's wise for us to risk it."

The ice mage stopped, he looked at her rather surprised. "I know we can defeat the army there, what's gotten into you? The Erza Scarlet, not willing to risk it because of impending attacks?"

Staring right in the eyes of her comrade, Erza struggled to explain. "I.. really have no idea. Something just tells me it's a bad idea and- I just feel like something's going to happen whether we come there or not."

Gray continued to look at her for a couple of seconds, and then smiled. "Okay. I trust your instinct, Erza."

The pair continued to venture around, trying to find other of their comrades. They succeeded, finding Cana, Reedus and several Sabertooth members. The scarlet haired woman was slightly disappointed that she didn't saw the Twin Dragon along with Minerva and Yukino.

In the end, though, they did managed to run into a fleet of soldiers who indeed pissed them off. There was a strange light coming from the sky though, and before she could warn everybody, the light dropped meters away from her and sent her crashing somewhere.

As soon as she remembered what happened, Erza felt her head aching so much and before she knew it, the fairy dropped to her feet and darkness overcome her.
