~Lucy's POV

Erza, Gray and I were heading towards Mrs. Moon's town. We decided that Wendy, Carla and Happy would stay with her. Mrs. Moon was too emotional to go with us.

We promised we would bring her back. We sat in the train and Erza went to make a plan.

"So what's the plan, Erza," Gray said, leaning on one hand. She shrugged. "I don't know."

I stared at her in shock, she is the one to always make our plan. Gray couldn't keep his mouth shut. "What? You haven't got a plan? That's new."

Erza shot him a glare and he shrunk back in fear. "Shut your mouth." He immediately shut up. We arrived early and we walked through the town.

"Let's go to Mrs. Moon's house first," I suddenly spoke up. Gray threw me a look of disbelief. "Good idea, not like we haven't thought of it but—"

I smacked his head, effectively cutting off his sentence.

We went to the house and none of us were surprised that the door was closed. "So.. how do we come in without breaking anything?" Erza asked.

I felt in my pockets and found something. "By using the key?" It came out as a question. I looked at the key and know for sure I hadn't had one. Mrs. Moon probably put it in my pocket.

I opened the door and we looked around. Nothing out of ordinary downstairs. I heard noises coming from the kitchen. I slowly walked to it. The door was closed but I know for sure I heard a noise.

I opened it with a yank.

I gritted my teeth in anger.

"GRAY! Stop messing around and help us." I yelled at him. He was leaning on the table with a snow cone in his hand, busy eating it.

I walked to him and grabbed him by his ear. I yanked him with me and he was groaning the whole time. "Focus. This is a mission and you dare to not focus?"

"S-sorr- Ow! L-Lucyyyy," Gray whined. I tightened my grip on his ear. His face retorts in pain. "Are you going to get serious?" I asked sternly.

He nodded fast. "Yes m-ma'am."

We went to Elysia's room. It was a mess, there was clearly a fight here.

Well, a fight... a lot of movement. But nothing we could use as evidence or hint.

We went to the centre of the town and asked people if they noticed something weird.

Nothing.

"This person sure can leave no trace," Erza mumbled with her arms crossed. We were on a slope, sitting on the grass. Erza was leaning against a tree.

It was a sunny day and out was hot. We nodded. "What do you think they would do to them?" Gray asked, staring at the houses.

We shrugged. "Maybe wanting money?"

My stomach growled, making me remember I haven't eaten anything yet. "Guys, I'm going to buy some food. You guys want some?"
