"Someone stop her before she mutilates every tree here."
"That won't be possible," Mira grunted, her eyes lazy following the red-haired woman, who had sworn to take her revenge on trees.
I sighed, trying to stop my mind from replaying the events of last night; Erza had come, storming back from her 'mission', witnessed her mother's death, and went insane.
I don't blame her.
"Thank Natsu, Erza would've been killed if he hadn't transported us away, into one of the hideouts," Lucy muttered.
Erza then spared Lucy a glance of hatred, before returning to chop down another sapling. I felt sorry for her, it wasn't easy losing the only family you had.
Especially when they loved you...
"We should put enchantments around this area." Mira frowned, "Now that Ac- Acno,"
"Shhhhhh~," Natsu went up to Mira, and comforted her by softly wiping away her tears, "We're all family now," he went around the radius of the camp we'd set up, "Always."
Appearing out of nowhere, Erza sat down heavily next to me. I was close enough to her to be able to see the tear lines, staining her cheeks. Her chocolate-brown eyes seemed to have lost their shine, and she was in simple clothes.
"Erza-,"
Gray put his hand on Lucy's mouth, and shook his head, "Leave her be," he whispered, a sad glow in his irises, "She needs alone time, Lucy."
Lucy looked at him in defiance, but then got up, and walked away. Proceeding to 'help' Natsu with the enchantments. I smiled; something was going on with those two.
Whoosh!
"Ow!" I yelped, getting up and staring hard at Mira. A twig lay down at my feet, as the she-devil grinned.
"Shut up, softie," she taunted, "If you don't want to freeze to death, help me set up a fire. Oh, and Gray," she added sweetly, "Set up tents."
"I don't want to-"
"Four tents better be set up before we return, or else-!"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
I beamed, and followed Mira, as we went past the concealment enchantments that Natsu set up. "Will they work?"
"Huh- what?"
I grinned nervously, asking again, "Natsu's enchantments."
Mira snorted, smirking lightly, while Natsu continued to mutter in Japanese. "Erza's enchantments would be better, but Natsu's firewalls are pretty dope."
I sweatdropped and continued walking, leaves crunching under my boots. Mira and I ended up dragging back a tower of wood so that we could have enough fire for the rest of the week.
