"Erza, are you alright? You've kinda been out of it the last couple of days." Lucy carefully asked her scarlet haired friend. She certainly didn't want to agitate her more than she seemed to be.
"Hmm? Yes, I'm fine. I've just been having some strange dreams lately." Erza answered quietly, coming out of her thoughts.
"Can you tell us about them. Maybe talking about them will help." Gray replied.
"Yeah, that's what friends are for." Natsu exclaimed from his seat in the corner....surprisingly.
"I guess you guys are right. Talking might help me get things figured out." Erza answered after a moment. " For the past couple of nights, I've been having dreams of myself as a little girl. There's another girl with me; about a year younger. She looks quite a bit like me and a little shorter. In the dreams, we seem to be together a lot. I just don't know to make of these dreams." Erza related, a little frustrated.
"Could she be a good friend, or a sister?" Lucy asked after thinking about what they had been told.
"Lucy, that's it! Oh, how could I have forgotten that I have a little sister!" Erza exclaimed after a moment of thought. A sudden flash of memory had come to her.
"It was quite a while ago Erza. You both were about, what, five and six years old. And from what you've told me, you've been through a lot." Lucy replied reassuringly.
"Yes, you're right Lucy. I just hope she's still alive." Erza replied.
For the rest of the trip back to Magnolia, from the mission Team Natsu had been on; it was spent in quiet contemplation; each thinking about what they had talked about. Now that Erza thought about it, her dreams of her sister had been so real, it was like her little sister was actually still alive?
///ooo///
Meanwhile, back at the Magnolia train station, an incoming train slowed to a stop and a carriage door slid open to let out a council guard and a young woman, whose hands were handcuffed behind her back. Even though she knew she would eventually be caught, she still wasn't too happy about it. And she was a little nervous. She had heard about her sister; the great Titania and how tough and strict she was. What would she think of her little sister who had a few crimes set against her?!
"Alright Katsumi, let's get going! The sooner we get you settled in to jail, the sooner we can find your sister and get things sorted out for you." the council guard replied, leading his prisoner in the direction of the council's building.
"Gee, I can't wait!" the young woman now identified as Katsumi replied sarcastically.
Meanwhile another guard, going by the name of Lahar, quickly strides out of the Fairy Tail guild, heading towards the train station to meet up with Erza Scarlet and her friends. He carried a small parcel of a thin book and a letter.
After 35 minutes of waiting Lahar was happy to see the train from Shirotsume Town come in to the station. People poured out of the train once the doors opened and finally Lahar saw a red hair bob in the crowd. Hopefully that red hair was Erza, he immediately walked towards it. He smiled once he saw that he was correct and introduced himself to the Erza and the gang.
"Excuse me, Erza Scarlet, I am Lahar, a council guard" Lahar said.
Erza fully faced the guard, "How can we help you?" she asked.
"Wait this isn't about what happened in Shirotsume Town, because I swear it was that stupid pink-haired guy's fault!" Gray exclaimed.
"Speaking of which, where is Natsu?" Lucy asked looking around.
