"It seems one of my own was taken down, and as a result, the mission was a failure...sir."  Zeke replied, his head bowing in sincere apology.

Coven sighed, his shoulders set with discomfort.  "By Natsu Dragneel, I assume?"

"Along with his fellow guild members.  The Requip-magic user, the Air Dragon Slayer, along with the Ice Maker."  His eye came into view.  It was a dark crimson; something that could chill anyone to the bone.  "At least we've located the Junsuina object, my lord."

"Yes..."  Coven murmured, strangely calm.  He twirled the necklace around his fingers, his mind elsewhere.

The group of three assembled behind Zeke Loris suddenly, but they were one member short.

"It's a shame Lander isn't here to obey, but..."  Lord Coven turned to the remaining three, including the master, Zeke Loris.  "You remaining three alone are definately enough to capture the girl and bring her to me."

"Yes sir."  They said simultaneously, their shoulders stiffening in respect.

Coven's eyes turned into churning pools of blackness.

"Do not fail me."

"So what do you think?"

Lucy had the heel of her hand resting against her chin in thought.  She turned to look at Loke, who was resting against her apartment wall.

"Maybe we're just exaggerating a little."  She replied, her eyes narrowing slightly.  "He could have been delusional."

Loke shrugged.  "Maybe.  But there is the possible chance that he's just seen you before.  It wouldn't be surprising."  The sunset casted shadows along the lion spirit's face, making his face more defined.

Lucy nodded slightly, staring at the ground.  She had the window open, and a breeze glided through and around the room, making Lucy's hair float over her shoulders.  "I guess, but..."

"But what?"

"My gut feelings are usually right."  She clenched her hands slightly, which were resting in her lap.  "And they're telling me something now."

Loke looked over at her, his arms crossed.  "What are they telling you?"

Her hands clenched tighter.  "Something's bad.  I've got a bad feeling that something's coming; all because Lander recognized me."

There was a small silence, the wind the only thing making a noise, which was a low whisper of a whistle.

Loke hmpfed, his arms still crossed as he lifted his head up towards the ceiling as if he could see right through it to the sky.  "We'll have to keep a lookout then, just in case."

Lucy nodded her approval.

"Okay."
