The History of Loke pt 2

     I stayed home all day, bored and tired beyond belief. I've been meaning to talk with Loke but I've been stalling. Night rough already before I finally decided maybe I should go stop by the guild. There's no point in dragging it out any longer. So I hopped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me. I started to get dressed when Natsu barged into my place unannounced. I froze wide eyed as I could hear him talking with Happy. I only had a towel, no clothes and no cloak..I knew he was in the house, but wasn't quite sure how far into the house. Now!

      I rushed out of the bathroom, making a quick dash for my room right around the corner. It's obvious Natsu notices, yelling out and quickly making his way from the other end of the house. I grab the cloak that was on the bed quickly, throwing it over my head as he suddenly rounds the corner. His mouth to opens, honestly not sure if he knew it was me or thought someone had broken in, either way. He tensed quickly, mouth dropping to the floor as he fell back, assuming he had seen the back of me as I retreat to the corner of the room. I ignored him, closing the door to my closet to act as a divider to get dress as Happy tried to make sure his friend was okay. I shut the door as I finish, Natsu slowly recovering from his spot on the floor. I walk past, stepping over him unaffected by his actions. He didn't really see me, he's probably just like this more by the fact I was in a towel, such a dork.

"Hey, help yourself to whatever you want. Make sure no one breaks in or something. Okay? Thanks! I'll be back, bye!" I rush out as I leave from the apartment, ignoring Happy as he rushes to the end of the hall, trying to get my attention as I shut the door. I make my way for the guild first to see if he was there, hoping maybe Mirajane had seen him or could give me the directions to his place. I near the guild, hearing someone yell out his name, watching as Loke runs off from the building.

"Mirajane, what's wrong?" I questioned frantically after running in to see what was going on. She looked at me hectically.

"Mara, you have to stop Loke! He just quit Fairy Tail!" She yelled, my eyes widened as I turn back sharply, taking off in the direction I saw he go in. I ran after, following every twist and turn following behind him. By now the yells and cries of of other members calling out Loke's name have faded and the sound was replaced with the sound of rushing water. My eyes narrow in confusion as I finally break past the tree line. There I saw Loke standing in front of a grave, Karen Lilica. It was her grave. It was a big memorial stone towards the edge of the cliff.

"So, I was right, wasn't I..? I didn't tell you but you knew I knew.. You're a Celestial spirit, aren't you?" I asked him affirmatively.

"...Yes, but now? My time is up." He replied back, not turning back to face me as he keeps his mouthful eyes on the grave before him. 

"Why? It is because you hav-" I begin to inquire, only to be cut off.

"There you are." Lucy enters through the trees, causing both Loke and I to turn back at her.

"The whole guild is looking for you, but I see Mara has already found you." She informs, smiling in my direction.

"Lucy.." Was all he replied.

"That's Karen's grave, isn't it." Lucy looks at the grave sadly, the sadness of not just one of her many idols, but also fellow Celestial Wizard, were dead. And she was standing just feet from her grave. 

"Hmm. I guess I was wrong, someone else does have an idea." I hum.

"She was a great Celestial Wizard and she had a contract with you, right? The spirit Loke, wait that's not real. Your name is Leo, Leo the Lion." She replies with what she knows, but he doesn't reply back for quite some time. He then adjusted his glasses and smiles faintly.
