The Light

A Journey of Few words

Rogue awoke and dragged himself over to the restroom. He splashed some cold water on his face to fully wake up. He then stared at his reflection in the mirror. The darkness under his eyes served as a reminder of his tormenting nightmares that night.

He walked out of the restroom.

"Frosch are you ready to go?"

"Mm" the exceed nodded his head.

"Ok let just go wake up Sting and Lector, I bet they're still sleeping."

*knock knock*

"Wake up! Sting! Open up! We're going to be late to the the job!"

"I'm going!LECTOR?! let's go."

"Ok Sti- MASTER."

"I said you can call me Sting, 'master' sounds so odd."

"Yes sting. Oh hey Frosch! You look tired." Lector said as he noticed Frosch along side Rogue.

" Frosch thinks so too."

They began walking out of the guild.

*on the way to meet the person hiring them*

Usually every job was the same. It was more of Sting talking while Rogue listened and got in a couple words. Rogue wasn't a quiet person but he just felt that Sting talked enough for both of them.

"Hey Rogue you never DID tell me what happened with your lady friend"

*wink wink nudge nudge*

That's right! I had completely forgot about Juvia. I can't believe I almost forgot that I promised her I'd visit her tomorrow. What am I even going to do?! I just said I'd "visit" her. Should I take her out somewhere?? Well we did agree that she'd live her life to the max which basically just means have fun. AHHH! I know what we'll do! Gehee! Oh no my inner laugh is starting to sound like Gajeel's.

"Helloooooo?! Rogue?!?! Can you hear me?!? "

Sting was waving his hands in front of Rogue's face.

"eh? Oh what did you say again?"

"I asked you what happened with Juvia and you just zoned out! Wait!! Were you thinking of her just now?!?!"

" yeah we have plans tomorrow. Look there's the guy who is hiring us."

"PLANS?!? Tell me. Now."

"Sting! We're on a job!"

So the job was pretty easy it was basically to stop a couple of mages from destroying a small village close to Crocus. Everything went great. They were even able to get back to the guild before sun down.

Rogue held the sleeping Frosch in his arms as he opened the door to his room. He walked in when all of a sudden his foot got stuck on the door. He was about to fall face down crushing the poor exceed when Rogue turned sideways falling on his shoulder dislocating it. When he fell his leg bent in a way it shouldn't have. He broke it.

GAHHHHHHH!

He shouted from the pain. The shout was heard throughout the entire guild. Everyone ran towards the direction the shout was heard from.

They quickly bandaged him up. It was pretty hard for him to do anything since his right arm and right leg were basically unusable at the moment. He couldn't really walk around so he just had Frosch assist him in any way he could throughout the night.

He didn't want to sleep though. He knew that if he fell asleep he would toss and turn during his sleep because of his nightmares causing him to be in more pain. He would just have to do it.

It was just about to be midnight when he remembered something important.

"Frosch... Are you awake?"

The little exceed awoke from his nap and rubbed his eyes open and nodded in response.

"Ummm I have a favor to ask of you."
