Chapter 7: Chapter 7
"Minerva!" they screamed when they saw the girl jump before someone grabbed her hand. "I'm not letting you die on me when we've just mended things after so long." Sylvia leaned over the concrete railing, grabbing her friend's hand. "Why? I was so terrible to you," the girl with jade green eyes cried. "You're my best friend, you idiot. Do you think I'd let you leave me so soon?" The boys looked in confusion at them and said, "I knew they'd be the light of each other's lives." Ultear said, "You absolute idiot, stop being so stubborn and get off there!" Yukino yelled, "Yeah, we're supposed to be each other's pillars!" Erza agreed, "You can lean on us if you need to!" Juvia added, "And do you have to be leaving your angel? Don't you think she'd be more of a broken one if you did this to her?" Sting, Natsu, and Rogue wondered what the relationship was between these girls.
Sylvia struggled to pull the ravenette up with her left hand, her fingers wrapped around the girl's left hand while her right hand clutched the concrete balcony. "Almost there..." she continued pulling the girl up before deciding to use her right hand too, and she was succeeding before she felt her legs leave the ground, letting out a squeak when she felt someone grab her waist. "I've got you." plucking all her strength, both she and Reiki successfully pulled the ravenette up to safety. All three landed on the ground. "Sorry." Minerva stood up before she looked down at her two saviours.
Minerva blinked a couple of times, as did the others who rushed into the almost empty apartment before Akira Haruno chuckled. "It seems you've met your match, Sylvia." Kagura caught on, also chuckling. There on the floor was Sylvia Ryu, who was lying on top of the redhead, who still had his arms around her waist. "Just let me," Sylvia said, making the absolute worst decision of turning onto her stomach. Finally, she noticed how close the two were. "I'm starting to doubt your earlier claim," Reiki said, staring straight into the bluenette's aquamarine eyes. "As if!" she pushed herself off her hands. "I wouldn't be seen dead with you." She dusted herself off before turning to Minerva.
"Right, Minerva, you said that Rufus didn't want you. What do you mean?" Minerva sighed, expecting her question: "Uh, right, thank you for your help." Akira turned to the boys and said, "But this is sort of personal." Rogue nodded in understanding before pushing his friends out the door. "Do you need to be told separately? You heard the girl leave!" Kagura said to the redhead who left, shutting the door behind him, "Long story short, he cheated on me." Minerva replied, "He what?" all four asked.
Sylvia was mad now that she had gone and done it. The girl had never really gotten riled up but she had just rubbed her the wrong way Not only did that woman torture her the whole month at her job but she was sleeping with her best friend's boyfriend Now that was the last straw "Hey! Move your hands!" Reiki was left confused as the bluenette again climbed into his car, getting herself comfortable on his lap yet again before driving off. "Seriously, what is wrong with you?" Reiki asked, but Sylvia ignored him, continuing to curse at the blonde.
The others followed closely behind, trying and failing to stop their friend from saying, "She's gone." Kagura said, "How do we catch up now? She's driving so fast." Juvia asked before Erza looked over at a car that three males were getting into. "Get in that car!" she ordered, pointing to the car as the girl rushed toward it. "Hey! What the heck?" Natsu asked as Juvia pushed him inside, "What do you-?" "Move; I'm driving." Minerva pushed Rogue to the side, getting into the driver's side, and leaving the ravenette to get into the passenger seat. "Step on it, Minerva," Ultear said once Rogue had buckled himself up. "Buckle up," Minerva said before turning the car on and stepping hard on the accelerator.
"Sylvia at 12 o'clock," Yukino pointed at the black Mercedes speeding off. "Roger," Minerva nodded The three men felt slightly scared for their safety Sting and Natsu were even hugging each other for dear life. "just how dangerous are these women?" they asked together Minerva pulled over to a parking spot, slamming the breaks when they got close to the bluenette's workplace. "Hurry up!" Akira pushed Kagura out the door before getting out herself.
Sylvia, on the other hand, stomped into her workplace, where she knew her target was, and she wasn't very surprised to find Rufus there. The very sight of the happy couple made her blood boil, and she did something that she normally wouldn't do, no matter how hard of a time Lucy Hoshino gave her "Ow!" Lucy cried in pain, holding her cheek. "You!" Sylvia said, "Sylvia, calm-ouch!" Rufus cried as the bluenette's fist collided with his nose. "You stay out of this; I'll deal with you later," she smirked as Rufus nursed his broken nose but she growled when Lucy moved to help her best friend's ex "What did you say to Minerva?" Reiki rushed into the room. "That she's an evil witch? a demon? She doesn't deserve half the things she has. She should go kill herself.".
