==========================================================

Upon her awakening, Lucy saw that she was in the infirmary of the newly-rebuilt guild.

They finished building it already?  Lucy thought with happy surprise, staring at the ceiling.

She turned on her side, and that's when she took notice of the many bandages wrapped all over her arms and legs, especially around her torso.  Sighing, Lucy pulled the covers up and around her shoulders, her eyes shaking from the information Zeke had given her during her "testing".

What is the Junsuina?  She wondered, more confused and baffled than before.  And what about Star Mist?  What is it, and how do I possess it?!

Groaning softly in frustration, Lucy sat up, slightly wincing when she stressed her back a little too much.  I can't take not knowing the full story anymore!  I have to go and find my answers!

A knock came to the door, and Lucy looked up in surprise to see Erza standing in the doorway.

"Erza.."  Lucy replied with surprise.

Erza smiled.  "Looks like you're awake, Lucy."  She walked to the foot of the bed Lucy was in.  "How're you feeling?"

Lucy smiled softly in appreciation, though there was still a hint of misery and frustration in her expression.  "Better.  I have to tell Wendy thank you for healing me so much; she must've been exhausted."

There was a moment of awkward silence after that.  

"Lucy, what happpened?  It was Zeke, wasn't it?"

Lucy paused for a moment, but then nodded.  "Yes."

"I see."  Erza replied, cupping her chin with her fingers in thought.  "He's after you, that much is obvious."  She looked over Lucy.  "Do you know why?"

"Well..."  Lucy started, murmuring it slowly.

The image Lucy was so afraid of..the image of her friends dead because of her...flashed through her mind, and guilt over took her body along with her sadness.

She couldn't tell Erza.  Or anyone else.

Otherwise they'd be in danger because of her.

"..no."  She finished, breathing out slowly.  "All he did was confirm my suspicions that he was going to resurrect Daronyt."

Erza was silent for a moment.  "I see."

I don't want to get them involved anymore than I have to.  Lucy thought with a nervous sweat dripping down her brow.  I know what I have to do now.

"I'm sorry I don't know more than that."  Lucy replied, looking down at her lap.

Erza looked surprise.  "Lucy, it's not your fault.  You didn't exactly get a chance to ask questions or was in any position to force them from him."
