Erza POV

I looked in the rearview mirror and couldn't see nothing. Snow has started to fall and I started to be more alert. I was feeling something bad approaching us. I looked in the rearview mirror again, this time to look at the girls in the back seat and they were still sleeping. I wasn't sure what to do. Having my girls involved in an uncomfortable situation makes me uneasy. 

What do I do? 

I kept driving the car, faster at every moment, unsure of coming home. I can not reveal our house, so I called Kagura. 

"Speak Erza."

"Kagura, I have a strange sense of being pursued. But I can not see anything that might be following us. I do not know if I should go home. "

"I also felt something strange in the office. That's why I walked away. But this thing is in my wheel as well. I do not know what it can be. In that case, I think we can go home together. We'll be better together in this case."

"Kagura, I'm still with the girls."

"Shit! I'm going to meet you. "

"We're three blocks from home."

"I'll be on your tail in two minutes."

"Mother, why is the car so fast? I'm feeling sick. "

"Umi, wake up your sister, plug your seat belts, and stay low down. "

"W-What...?!"

"NOW UMI! Do not disturb me. "

"Maki-chan, wake up. Tighten your belt. "

"Uhm .... let me sleep more ..."

"Maki-chan, wake up ..." Umi was scared. I could feel her trembling voice.

"MAKI WAKE UP NOW!" I shouted, losing my temper. Maki jumped up and did not understand what was happening.

"Tighten your belt Maki, and stay low down girls" I said at last.They obeyed without a question. I could hear an approaching noise. What is it that is approaching? I see a motorcycle approaching and my phone rings.

"Erza, on the parallel street there is a white car running at the same speed and for the same kilometers." Kagura replied.  

"Who are?"

"They're not from Grigio."

"Kagura, who walks after you?"

"Fernandes."

"Then they found us."

"Are we the same target?"

"Yes."

"Mama, what is Fernandes?" asked Maki.

"An evil man, who's trying to hurt us."

"Erza, I think our best option is the apartment. Anyway, we'd be leaving it in the morning. Do you think we have to warn the boss?" Kagura said, trying to reveal as little information as possible, since we were being harassed and probably tracked down.

"I think we can handle any problem on our own." After all, I was Erza Scarlet and I was not going to cower for the Fernandes. I will face this open-mouthed threat. We were already a few meters from our apartment. I quickly opened the automatic garage's door and Kagura and I drive in. I could not see the white car, but I know we did not skip them. After a moment of tension and silence, Maki finally breaks the silence:
