The Opal Sphere

The Dark Guild Hall

Happy's POV:

Natsu had returned awhile back but he still hadn't said a word to me. I'm so worried about him. He has a really glum expression on his face. I hate it when I see him this upset. Lucy must be really hurt if he's this upset, I wish i could make him happy again.

"Carla do you want some fish?" Carla was sat next to me, she was as beautiful and as radiant as ever! She was supping on her Darjeeling tea with her pinky stuck out and her other hand holding the saucer underneath the cup. "No thank you Happy, i'm perfectly fine with my tea" she said, and she continued to sup on her tea. Oh how I wish she would just share my fish.

"well do you want me to get you anything Carla?" i smiled towards her, but she didn't smile back.

"You can get me some cake if you must" YAY! Carla wants me to get her something, this has just brightened my day up. I love it when Carla asks for my help. I got up from our table and flew over to the bar to where Mira was. She always managed to have a smile on her face no matter what the situation. "Mira could have a slice of your nicest cake please"I said to her. "One minute Laxus" she said, "and of course you can Happy, is this for Carla?" she was still smiling as she got the cake slice for me. Laxus was sat on a stool in front of where Mira was. He had his arms crossed on the bar and a cheeky little smirk on his face...no wonder Mira was smiling.

"Yeah, Carla wanted some cake so I came and got her some" She passed me the cake on a little plate that had flowers on it. Carla will love this! "Thank you Mira!"

"Your welcome Happy" she smiled and the she turned back to her conversation with Laxus, how cute!

I flew back over to Carla very carefully making sure I didn't damage the cake. "here you are Carla" i passed her the cake and a look of excitement came onto her face "Thank you Happy" she said to me and she dug into the cake. I'm glad I can make her happy.

Natsu's POV:

Gray was sat next Juvia, she was still in the infirmary bed besides Lucy. We didn't speak to each other, in fact we had our backs to each other. Jackass. I was holding Lucy's limp hand. She was still asleep and I had no idea whether or not she was okay. She didn't feel okay. The purple thing on her arm spread a little bit more towards her shoulder. I hope it isn't causing her pain. Mira sent Wendy and Cana to go and get Porlyusica. I hope she know's what's wrong with Lucy.

You are my home

Those words still circled round my head. I knew I needed to tell her how I fell, yet I didn't know how. And what If she didn't feel the same. I don't think I could handle that. But for now I just didn't want to lose her.

"So what's wrong with her" Porlyusica was here now, her voice sounding like she didn't to be here. You could tell she didn't like humans.

"we don't know, look" I stood up so fast I knocked over my stool. Porlyusica came over to the bed and stood next to me. "Get everyone out of this room right now" she gasped, what was wrong with Lucy?

Gray picked up Juvia, who was still asleep. I tried to get Nab up but since he's really fat i struggled to pick him up so Wendy just blew cold are to his face which made him wake up and he left the room along the Wendy, Cana was already downstairs with her booze.

"Can I stay? I need to be with her" My voice started to sound desperate but I didn't care I wanted to stay with Lucy. "No" Porlyusica snapped "You need to leave"

"Why? Why do I have to leave as well?" I snapped back. I didn't want to apart from Lucy. "I don't know for certain yet but I don't want to take any risks. Please Natsu just leave." Porlyusica said. I did as she asked and left. She sounded serious and if this helps Lucy, I would do anything.

I sat outside the infirmary. I was sat next to the door frame on the floor. If i couldnt be in the room with her, at least I could be this close.

Gajeel's POV:

Sting was upset, that i knew was for certain. We started to enter the creepy looking guild and the first this we came encountered with was a massive banner, similar to the one back at Fairy Tail, with their guild mark on. "Erza do you know which guild this is?" Sting asked with curiosity. I was trying to remember which guild this was. "No I don't recognise it at all" Erza answered.

We started to enter the dark guild hall. Only a few tables were there and each of them had one single candle on them. The strange thing is was that no mages were to be seen. It was like they were planning a suprise attack on us.

"I think I recognise the mark" I turned to Erza. I was pretty sure I knew which dark guild this was.

"What is it" Her voice was quiet but serious.

"The dark guild, Avatar" I said
