The Red String of Fate [ NaLu ]

chapter 12

Time to get back on track with my updating schedule

It was the day. For the past few days I hadn't seen Natsu or Erza much. I spent most of my time with Lisanna, new. She is actually very funny once you get to know her. Natsu had been training with Gray as he wants to prove to String he is the same and Erza had been campaigning. I sat next to Natsu on the bus. He had his PE kit with him. "So when is it going to happen?" I asked.
"Lunch" I nodded taking note in my head. I knew the votes will be announced by break so we would find out if Erza still stands tall or not. What is weird though is that I haven't spent much time with Levy either recently. There is a rumour about her and Gajeel but I haven't been told anything. Weird.
When we got off the bus stares pulverized our bodies. My grip tightened on my bag. I knew they weren't staring at me but they were staring at Natsu. Gray joined his side blocking my view of the others. "Oi Natsu coming to practice?" He asked putting his arm around his shoulder
"Sure" as he walked off Gray looked back at me and mouthed "see you later" I watched them leave until she joined my side.
"Hey Lucy" Lisanna chimed in.
"Morning" I turned to her.
"Ready for today"
"What do you mean?" she sighed heavily as we began to walk.
"Duh, didn't Sting bet on you?"
"Huh-" I had forgotten about that. I was involved. "-shit" I swore under my breath.
"It will be fine, come on let's get to class"

It was break. There was a large crowd of people. Erza and Kagura stood in an open space at the front of the crowd. Erza looked cool, serious yet ready to pounce at any given moment. Behind her was the team of student council members. None of them wanted to get rid of her, they admired her. Kagura had two others behind her, friends from Mermaid Heel. Milliana stood between the groups, she seemed torn between the two. Her bright bubbly personality had died down until- "Alright everyone are we ready to find out who has won our vote?!" The crowd cheered at her. "Alright! Here is the total" she held up an envelope. She slowly tore it open to tease the viewers. "Kagura, Erza" she looked at the two new rivals. "The one who shall be student council president will be..." Silence fell upon the school. Lisanna and i itched our way towards Erza. We were close to her when Milliana yelled "ERZA!" The student council members cheered and a smirk spread across Erza's face. Kagura looked pissed.
"I don't get it?" She yelled at the students. "I thought you all hated Erza?!" They looked at Kagura, stared, wondering why they did.
"Well...she is really strong" someone spoke up
"So you just voted for her because you were afraid.?"
"No" someone else spoke up "she may be rough but she has changed the view of us in the public eye in a very short time"
"Is that all?"
"She also..."
"And she's..." People began to speak kindly of her.
"Sorry Kagura but I won fair and square" the bell rang.

No one moved. They were to excited to see a fight between the two. "Oi..." Erza's dark presence took over. "DIDNT YOU HEAR THE BELL GET TO CLASS!" Her voiced deafened everyone with only the order of going to class in their site. As they left to go to class Kagura came towards us. She looked upset more than angry now.
"Kagura?" Erza approached her carefully as if she was a land mine waiting on her.
"I'm sorry" her apology also made Erza fall over her own feet.
"Excuse me?" Lisanna spoke up yet clinging to my arm.
"I remembered who you were when I first saw you." Kagura's eyes glistened as she met Erza's

Flash back (Kargura P.O.V)
"Waa isn't it pretty?" Beth ran a head of us.
"I can't wait for you to meet Erza!" Millianna grabbed my arm. She was always clingy ever since she joined our school, like a cat.
"Honestly you two, don't you think this will cause problems for everyone?"
"What do you mean?" Beth turned back listening to Risley.
"It's a known fact our schools have never gotten along before, so why now?" Arana questioned.
"Well we shall just have to take the high road" I walked a head catching a few eyes on my way.
"Is that?"
"Woah it is!"
"It is the president of Mermaid Heel High school" my reputation had spread.
"Shit there's Erza, hide" I noticed it stopped. Erza. That name. It rung a bell.
"Miss Scarlet" someone greeted her. I followed their voice. That's when it hit me. Her hair. That shade. It was her. Simon's friend. Erza Scarlet. I just stared.
"She has arrived" the girl told her. Who? It was me. She had been told about me. Her eyes locked to mine. Only a few meters between us. Our pasts were intertwined with one an other. Yet she never fully knew me. I only ever met her properly at his funeral. When she held my hand as I cried. I was surprised. She had changed a lot. I got told by Simon that she used to cry like a baby.
"President Kagura?" She greeted me. I nodded not letting emotion fill my face "nice to meet you I'm Erza, president of the student council here a Fairy Tail High school" she was the president?

Reality
"I was about to give up my title but that's when I found out about you and him"
"Him?"
"Jellal"

Flash back
"N-nice to meet you" she didn't remember me, then again I was younger than her as well. "Well I-"
"Oi look prez it's your boy friend~" someone chimed in. She had a. Boyfriend? I bet he was a strong smart and loyal person. I was way off. It was him the boy who had killed Simon. Why? Why were they together?!
"Enough!" Erza snapped. "I will be a minute Jellal" his tainted name
"I hope we can get along?" She put her hand out. I hit it away giving her a glare
"Watch out" I whispered to her as I marched away. No way could I let this pass there was not a chance.

Reality
"J-Jellal killed someone?" I stuttered, scared.
"It was an accident"
"How would you know-"
"I was there Kagura and since when did you know me?"
"I am Simon's younger sister" Erza looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"B-but I-i was told you died of a illness after he died?"
"N-No it was the easiest way to escape the press" I was about to go to her side when Lisanna's grip tightened.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"They scare me" she was too cute.
"We will discuss this later" Erza stormed away like a hurricane.
"We should get to class" Lisanna began to pull me. I managed to catch a glimpse of Kagura. She was alone. Like a little girl again. A little girl who had lost her brother. As I lost my only friend.
