Sting Roman's POV

This is bad, really bad.

I paced around the room anxiously as I racked my brains to think of an idea.

Rogue is after Lucy, Natsu Dexent is after my life, and Master Jiemma is keeping a tight eye on me. I can't protect Lucy like this.

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration.

Suddenly, and idea struck me. My pacing stopped and unknowingly, a grin spread on my lips. I threw a cloak over my shoulders and headed to the stables.

I wonder if they are still at the same place...

I mounted my horse quickly and set off to Oak Town.

After a few days of travelling, I arrived at the countryside. I dismounted and looked at the huge building looming before me. Loud voices could be heard from the outside and I can only imagine the amount of booze that was being consumed as the guild members made merry.

I pulled off the hood covering my face before pushing the heavy doors open. The noises ceased immediately and everything seemed to stop in motion. As I stepped into the guild hall, the wooden planks squeaked under my feet. I examined the menacing faces plastered across the guild members' features before asking, "Where's your Master? I need to see him."

A man slammed his drink down on the bar top counter before taking huge strides towards me. He sized me up and his face approached mine to a close proximity. "Who are you?" His breath reeked of alcohol and my nose crinkled in displeasure. He tried to intimidate me with his muscular body.

A muscle brain, what a bother.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Where is he? I have a favour to ask of him." I replied.

A loud laugh erupted from this man's belly, "Hilarious, do you think we'll let you meet him that easily? Who do you think you are blondie?"

My eyebrows furrowed and I said in the calmest manner I could muster "Don't waste my time big man, tell me where he is. I don't have time to play with you."

My words seemed to hit a nerve as I saw a furious expression masking his face. "You wanna go buddy? You think you can beat the almi-"

I interrupted him as I rolled my eyes in annoyance "Oh please."

That was the last straw as the man let out a battle cry before launching his body towards me. Before his fist could reach me, I grabbed his arm and threw him over. He laid unconscious on the ground. My eyes darted to each and every one of the member and I could see fear in their eyes.

"Where. Is. He." I emphasised.

Just then, heavy footsteps could heard descending the stairs. His masculine voiced boomed "What's with all the ruckus?"

I looked up and I smirked.

Just the man I wanted to see. His dark hair is still as whacky as ever.

"M-Master! This man was asking for you!" Another member answered timidly.

His eyes examined the body to the floor before meeting mine. He looked at me suspiciously before his face brightened, "Sting! It has been a while. What brought you here?" He descended the stairs and gave me a pat on the back.
