---Grays pov---

I walked around Y/N old home alone. Everyone else was doing their own sort of exploring.

I walked into an old library, the books were thick with many layers of dust. I wandered over to a table that had a book opened. I picked it up and blew the dust off, causing a cloud of dirt to fly everywhere making me sneeze.

"Okay. Let's see what a dead person was reading." I grumbled and started to read. "No. This couldn't be." My eyes widened as I kept on reading.

---your pov---

"Who are you?" I demanded the person who was sitting on my old bed.

"Princess. Dont you remember me? Celeana?" She said, her shirt falling off her shoulder.

"I-i dont know. I dont remember much from my time here." I answered honestly, keeping my katana pointed at her.

"What do you mean princess? Why havent you come back to the castle earlier? Why did you run away?" Celeana asked me so many questions.

"Run away? No. That's not what happened. The man who killed my parents came back and tried to kill me. He threw me out the window to the river below. A man called Arobrynn fished me out and raised me to be an assassin. I lost all my memories after I woke up from the river." I explained, dropping my weapon slightly.

"Princess. Please forgive me. But I dont understand." Celeana said with confusion painted on her face.

"I'm not sure I do either." I whispered. "What happened here?" I changed the subject.

"Well, once the king and queen died and you were no where to be found, the people who took care of the castle abandoned all hope and left. All but me that is. I've been trying to take care of your home but with only me in a big castle, I've got my work cut out for me." She answered with a 'dont you know' kinda voice.

I let my katana disappear into my weapon storage.

"I see. What if I help? I brought some friends here. They would probably be more than willing to help." I offered with a smile.

"I cant let you do that! A princess must never dirty her hands." Celeana said holding up her hands.

"My hands have been dirtied since I started killing. A little dust won't hurt." I told her.

"Oh. I guess." She sighed.

Celeana stood up and walked to me, pulling me into a hug.

"Its good to see you again love. I'm so sorry about what happened." Her voice broke.

I smiled and hugged her back.

"You couldn't of done anything. You didn't know."

We let each other go of the hug and started walking back to the front entrance.

"So tell me about your friends." Celeana said smiling at me.

"Well. There's Erza. She's a really strong requip wizard. She's one of the strongest in the guild. And then there's Lucy. A really talented celestial wizard. When I first joined fairy tale I had to fight her. Then Natsu who is a fire wizard. He was raised by a dragon! Can you believe that?!" I asked excitedly to celeana. "And he has a flying car named Happy who is always so sarcastic! And lastly there's Gray. Hes an ice maker wizard. Hes so funny, and charming. He can make anything out of ice. Last night I saw him make a sculptor of me. It was amazing."

"Sounds to me like you have a crush on this ice maker wizard." She laughed.

"No! I just think hes.." I trailed off. "Interesting."
