The Kingdom's Rose

the sacred island(part 5)

Erza's POV

"Juvia?" I asked. She was here a minute ago.

"Juvia! Where are you?"

"Are you looking for her?" A voice said. I quickly turn around to find nothing.

"Who are you? Where are you?" I asked.

"Over here." I turn around and see a man with yellow hair. His voice, it sounds like...

" You're the man who was in my head!" I accusing pointed at him.

"Yeah. Smart. So back on topic. Looking for her?" He asked as I nodded quickly, but after seeing her, I wish I didn't.

"What did you do to her? You monster!" Gray yelled as he and Natsu came beside me.

"You! Who are you?" Natsu asked with an confused look on his face.

"Hello! We met like just recently! Shesh!" The man said.

" So back to business. If you want her back, then she needs to go to the cave by the west side of the island tonight at midnight. Alone." He said pointing to me before starting to disappear. A thought projection huh?

"Tell them Zancrow sent you." He said before continuing to fade away.

"Damn it!" Gray said as soon as Zancrow disappeared.

"I thought you didn't love Juvia?"

"I don't. or I do.I don't know. But she is my nakama." He said staring at his hands.

"Erza! You okay?" Jellal asked limping towards me.

" Natsu, Gray, come on. We need to heal you too." He said ushing us to the camp.

*Timeskip*

Jellal's POV

"What's the plan?" Ultear asked. We are all huddled in the camp, discussing how we can rescue Juvia.

" They asked for me. So I'll go there alone." Erza said.

"No!" I screeched causing everyone to look at me.

"I mean, it's too dangerous!" I continued trying to calm myself down.

" How about the rest of us can hide outside on the beach, so if anything happens, we can help? That could calm down lover boy over there." Mira said jabbing her thumb towards me.

"Mira, focus at the problem!" Erza instructed her.

"Uh guys, I have an idea." We all turned our heads to our smallest member.

"Come. Tell us." Erza said.

"OK. Let's just hope it works." She said.

"I will tell you all what you part will be." She said.

*Timeskip*(sorry for two in a row!)

For the last 3 hours, we have all been preparing for an attack. Moving our camp, we separated it so that one will stay here, while the other will be moved near the cave.

" Everyone ready?" Erza asked, being met with a shout of yeses.

" Everyone,We do not know how many there are, so be on full alert." Laxus said.

"Plus, watch for the signal, that's your job, Gajeel." I told him which he replied with a nod.

"OK then, let's go." Erza said leading the way.

No one's POV

Meanwhile, in a cave beside the ocean, a group of people were in a heated discussion.
