Chapter 6: A New Home
"Would you like to stay here with us? Even just for a while?"

Last time...

The girl's expression slightly fell. "I... don't know." 

"Huh? What do you mean you don't know?" was Kaze's intelligent reply. The rest stared at her curiously and worriedly.

"Aside from my name, I... don't remember anything else."

"WHAAAAAAT!?"

Normal POV

"The guild's still as depressed as ever," Makarov sighed and said to no one in particular. He was sitting on the bar counter and observing the guild's atmosphere. The guild was still rowdy, but not as rowdy as when she was still here.

He turned his head to Team Natsu.

Gray was obviously still depressed. He was surrounded with a freezing aura and no one dares to go too close to him. Juvia still stalks him, but only from time to time. She, too, doesn't dare to go too close to him. Every time someone mentions Lucy, or gives certain hints, the aura gets colder. He still fights with Natsu, but not that often.

Erza's glare was scarier. Most of the guild were not bold enough to talk to her, afraid of being glared at. No one saw her girly side anymore, because the air she usually gives off was dark and depressing.

We all miss Natsu's grin. It isn't the same as before. He very rarely smiles. Sometimes, whenever Lucy is mentioned, he goes berserk and Lisanna had to calm him down. He fights with Gray to try and forget Lucy for a while, but it was hard to get to fight him when he, too, was depressed.

Wendy would cry from time to time, most probably thinking about her. Charle completely ignored Happy, not even reprimanding him. When she is less grumpier, she spends her time sulking.

Levy refuses to touch books, afraid that it would remind her of her best friend. Gajeel sat on the table near her. His face devoid of emotions, and he uses swear words more often. He refuses to hear anything related to bunnies and punches the lights out of anyone who mentions it. Pantherlily is usually out of the guild to train, trying to get out of the guild's depressing atmosphere and avoid getting depressed himself.

Rogue sat on another table not far from them, with the two Exceeds Lector and Frosch. He never smiled ever since she died, becoming even more emotionless and very rarely talks. Fro isn't that cheerful anymore and can sometimes be seen or heard sobbing or sniffing. Lector is usually sulking and quiet, obviously missing his master's girlfriend. Also, he doesn't brag about Sting that much anymore.

Speaking of Sting... Sometimes he won't come to the guild and no one would be able to find him. Everyone understood his current state, because out of them all, he was the one suffering the most. When he is in the guild, he just sits there staring off into space or just to get a mission. He kept his promise to her and quit being a playboy. At times when she is mentioned, he either tears up or goes berserk. He was close to destroying the guild twice.

Makarov turned around to face Mirajane, who was cleaning the glasses. She changed a lot. When Lisanna died, she changed from a near-tomboy, gothic, and badmouthed to a sweet, kind, and motherly young lady. This time, however, was the opposite. 

Mirajane's sweet smile vanished, replaced by her occasional cold, demon-like glares and foul words. She would occasionally fight and argue with Erza, just like the old times.
