The Guardian and The Priestess

Fortified

We're still waiting for the judgement day.

I decided to walk around the garden to freshen up.

"L-!" I heard someone called, but it was cut off.

"Lucy-nee/ Lucy-san!" I heard two people greet, shading themselves under a tree.

"Romeo! Wendy! Good morning!" I chirped and hopped towards them, childishly.

I just noticed that Romeo was laying down on Wendy's lap.

"Oops. I didn't mean to bother you guys." I teased, and they both blushed.

"I-It's not what it looks like!" They stood up and responded in unison.

Both were blushing furiously.

Kawaii!

I laughed and ruffled Wendy's hair then we sat down, silently.

"How long has it been, since we've gathered?" Romeo asked, changing the topic.

"More than half a year?" I answered, thoughtfully.

"How long do we have to wait?" Wendy asked, cautiously.

I shrugged and looked up in the sky, relaxing.

"Lucy-san, let's make flower garlands!" Wendy suggested and I nodded.

"Sure!" I smiled.

Wendy and I picked flowers while Romeo stayed on the shade, watching us.

We taught Romeo how to make one and he decided to join us.

In the middle of bonding, I heard my name being called.

"Lu-" I heard a whisper but, again, it was cut off.

"Lucy/ Love Rival!" Juvia and Gray called.

"We need your help!" They called out in unison.

"Yeah? What can I help you with?" I smiled, ignoring the creepy whisper.

"Juvia's necklace is missing. We need your help to find them!" Gray responded.

"Sure! Wendy, Romeo, would you help us search for Juvia's necklace?" I asked, nicely, and they both nodded.

"Why didn't you ask for Levy-chan's help to find it?" I asked Juvia.

"Juvia did ask Levy-san. But she said she couldn't track it, if she doesn't know what it looks like. But, Levy-san and Gajeel-san are helping to find it." Juvia cried, looking hopeless.

"And, it was a precious gift from my father..." Juvia continued, sobbing.

"How about the others?" I questioned.

"They're nowhere to be found. And, the others are kind of busy." Gray replied, scratching his cheek lightly.

"I understand. Let's go find it!" I stated with determination, and they nodded.

Wendy and Romeo looked inside the house.

We split up to find the necklace.

Gray said that Gajeel and Levy-chan are searching inside the library.

Wendy and Romeo offered to search in the garden and living room.

I offered to look on the dining area and kitchen.

Gray suggested to search inside the training room and pool area.

Juvia declared to search inside her room, one more time.

After some time, I heard Juvia running down the stairs towards the pool.

"Gray-sama! Gray-sama!" she called and Gray, who was leaning over the pool, slipped into the water in surprise.
