Lucy's POV
Griffon and I waited outside the guild in the shade of a large cherry tree. He seemed anxious.
"Would you stop pacing? It's getting kinda annoying, and I'm pretty sure the bugs under your feet are gonna be 'ticked' when they see that you've gone and trampled their homes." I said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Haha, very funny. I see what you're doing with your fancy words there." He said, wiggling his finger at me.
"What if they don't come? Have you thought about that? What were you planning to do? Maybe they'll be smart and cut their losses. What if they say, 'Hey, she's already been dead for five years, what's five more? Not like she was very nice anyways.' Then what Lucy?! Then what?!" Griffon asked, getting more and more agitated.
"Then we figure it out. Besides, I've never known these guys to back down from a fight, especially when it involves their guild."
"It involves more than their guild Lucy. It involves all of Fiore! No, all of Earthland! Do you have a plan for 'what if?' You may be the Princess of The Realm of Dragons, but even you can't do this alone!" Griffon yelled.
"Pipe down would you! Although I'd like to think otherwise, there is a group of very capable Dragon Slayers in there who have impeccable hearing. They can't know what I really am!" I whisper yelled.
"Would it really be so bad if they found out? We have to take the-"
I cut Griffon off before he could finish his sentence.
"We'll finish this conversation later. Someone is coming out."
Slowly, one by one, some of Fairytail's strongest members filed out of the hall. Erza, Mirajane, Gajeel, Gray, Wendy, and Natsu all made their way to us.
"Laxus?" I asked.
Erza shook her head.
"He didn't want to be on a team with someone he couldn't trust." Mira said, giving me a cold stare.
I pretended not to notice and focused on my objective.
"For those of you who did come, thank you. The task we face will be difficult, and there is a chance that some of you will return in boxes. We have to move now to a secure location. As we speak I am sure that our target is locking on to my position and is on its way here. If you have any questions that can't wait, ask them now, otherwise, wait until we are safe."
Natsu raised his hand, and Griffon nodded, giving him permission to speak.
"What exactly are we dealing with Lucy?" He asked, cautiously.
I sighed before answering.
"About that. We're not really sure."
