I'll be working on the next book soon and I'll attempt to make the chapters much much more longer then these. enjoy  ^~^

Lucy p.o.v

Everyone gather around Gray waiting for the news. The only thing I could really remember about Erza was the scary aura she had.

Wendy shoo people away while she worked on Juvia. Sitting close to Natsu and Levy since I wasn't  all too friendly with Gajeel not Gray.

"There are groups of magic users gathering in many areas. Mavis wants us to investigate the death, and see if we can figure out why there was a sudden man-hunt for magic users. She asked if a group from here is willing to travel to the crime scene which isn't too far away" Gray started. 

"I agree. The faster we figure this stuff out the quicker we can be free. Okay Gajeel, Levy, Wendy and myself will head to the crime scene. Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and Juvia will stay here and lay low. I rather not have you two knuckle heads out there. Plus something dark is shifting around lately" Mira announced giving Natsu a dirty glance. He scratched at his neck completely confused by her sudden look. 

It still baffled me on how Natsu never remembers anything when he was in his other side. I didn't like the fact we were getting separated, but they have a point. Till this was all fixed we couldn't go back to the hospital. Even though I hated the white walls and the smell it felt safe. 

"It's going to be boring" Natsu whined earning a glare from Mira. 

"Listen Natsu. I can't risk the more trouble-prone patients to be out. What if you forget we laying low and use your magic?" she asked in a calm tone. 

"But.." he began to argue back, but I simply placed my hand over his. 

"She's right. Let's stay here. We'll have fun" I said giving him a smile. 

"Fine" he sighed giving up with a cute pouting face.

"Good. Wendy will finish with Juvia while we prepare to leave" she finished her statement before getting up.

I feel like Mira could be a leader for a war or something. This must be hard on her. After all, she has to keep her eye out on patients who suppose to be within a hospital. Why does she trust four of us to stay put here though? Why did she give Natsu a dirty look earlier? 

Soon Wendy gave Juvia the all clear. Her healing magic was beyond amazing. For such a young girl she handled the situation very maturely. It made sense that Mira put her on the group. If they ran into trouble she could heal them with ease. 

"Juvia thanks you Wendy" Juvia told Wendy. 

"No problem" the young girl blushed. 

Watching the other prepare to leave caused a bad feeling to wash over me. What if something bad happened to them? 

"Well. We're off. Please don't anything stupid and take care of each other. Lucy....please be careful to not have your light get even brighter" Mira said as they began to walk away. 

Would I see them again?
