*Erza's POV*

I haven't slept all night. I am so worried about Levy that I haven't been able to eat, sleep or even think about anything else. I stood on the balcony and looked in the direction of Phantom Mountain. Levy was in there, scared and probably alone. I can't bring myself to forgive myself for losing her. I promised Mother and Father I would make sure my sisters were okay.

I sighed sadly as I sat on the railing of the balcony, watching the sunset for the day. "Erza...?" I heard a small voice say. I turnes in the direction of the voice and saw Wendy and Jellal. Wendy had started using crutches so Her legs won't get stiffened and locked up. "Is everything okay Wendy?" I asked her.

"Yeah, my legs are doing better thanks to Miss Porlyusica, but...are you okay? You haven't been yourself since what happened." she asked sadly.

"I'm fine, I have been just thinking." I said. "I feel like a failure. I promise Mother and Father that I would take care of you and Levy, and now look, Levy is in the worst situation." I started to tear up. It's usually diffucult to make me cry, but if I cry, I was saddened by what I was crying about.

Jellal walks over to me and hugs me. "Erza, you aren't a failure. You are what keeps everybody's hopes up." I continued to cry as he placed his forehead against mine gently.

Caressing my cheek, Jellal smiled

Caressing my cheek, Jellal smiled. "If it wasn't for you, your kingdom would have fallen. Your spirit makes everybody happy in Magnolia." he then lifted my chin and looked at me in the eyes. "That is one of the many reasons I love you." Jellal wipes away my tears and held me close. "I have no doubt that Levy is safe and on her way back. Gajeel is with her and he is protecting her."

I burried my face into his shoulder and hugged him tightly. Jellal wrapped his arms around me, and rubbed my back. "Everything is going to be okay. I promise." he said, sweetly. I had stopped crying, and smiled at him. Jellal was truly something else. He always made me feel happy. That is one of the reasons I love him.

Suddenly, the doors of the room that the balcony was connected to opened up with a guard panting. We looked at him. "Captain Warren? What is it?" Jellal asked.

"They're back your majesties!" he said with a smile. "Gajeel, Lieutenant Gray, and Private Natsu have returned. Princess Levy is with them."

My heart started to beat really fast. Was it true that they were back? I looked at Jellal with widened eyes. He looked at me with a smile. "Well, let's go see for ourselves shall we?"

I nodded. Wendy was smiling really big. "Levy's home!"

We went as fast as Wendy could, so we could make sure she wasn't hurting herself trying to see our sister. We reached the grand staircase, and we helped Wendy carefully down the stairs.

Once we made it down the stairs, the grand doors opened five figures stood on the other side. Levy, Gajeel, Gray, Natsu, and a girl with long wavy blue hair like Levy. I looked at them and started walking towards them. Levy ran up to me and I ran up to her, meeting her halfway. We embraced each other in a tight hug and I couldn't hold it back. I started crying tears of joy. "I missed you so much." I said.
