Candy opened her eyes and slowly adjusted them to the bright light. She felt sore and quickly remembered who had put her in that state. She tried moving but her heavy bandaged body ached with every breath. 

She turned her head as much as she could and looked around.

"Kyle..." she whispered but no one seemed to be in the room.

With greeted teeth, she stood up and lifted herself of the bed. "Mother..." she tried shouting but her dry throat trapped her voice.

She touched the bandage on her chest as she walked across the room.

"What a psycho," she murmured as she thought of Juvia and opened the door. She was hoping that this blue haired girl and Gray were captured by now. She blushed slightly as she remembered the dark haired man - "He saved me."

She touched the wound on her collar and smiled to herself as she remembered the mage freezing her wounds. A slight shiver run down her back though as soon as she remembered her last try at making a move on him.

"Partypooper..." she rolled her eyes and opened the door to her room.

A girly face flashed her mind and faint guilt stung Candy. "Clara, must be worried," she thought out loud. All because of Juvia...

Her body ached all over but she didn't care. I am going to pay that bitch back, she tought as she changed into her white kimono. She tied her golden locks into ponytails and stared at herself in the mirror until she was satisfied.

Candy closed her eyes and her body started shining.

"Holy Script: Sana Corpus." 

The light disappeared after few seconds and Candy slowly took her bandages off. Her enchantment didn't do much for now but her body would be healing two times faster from now on. She sighed and threw the fabric into the bin before leaving her room.

Meanwhile Margaret left Juvias room.

The Lost Tesseras members were eying Juvia the whole time. She was watching the sun set from the window. They quickly looked away as she turned back to them.

"Sunsets are pretty, don't you think?" she smiled.

"I don't get how you can be this cheerfull at this moment," Clara pouted.

"Juvia isn't," she smiled sadly and looked out the window again, "I just have a feeling like I used to watch those with someone..." a blank expression on her face stopped her mid-sentence and she just shook her head, "Nevermind. I'm going to see how Candy is for now." 

Juvia left the room as if nothing happened.

"What's going to happen now?" Kyle asked as the girl dissappeared behind the door. "I don't know," Clara sighed, "I wanted to pay her back... but it seems like my actions only hurt her lover. She isn't even aware, she thinks we are friends, it's just..." the mage groaned in frustration and dropped her head in her palms, "It's not right."

"What exactly does the spell do now?" Kyle asked, "I mean, there are going to be some consequences right?"

Claras face washed over a shadow and she swallowed.

"Maybe you should cancel the spell? Juvia doesn't deserve it. Anyway, what kind of punishment is it if she is not even aware of it?"

"I wish I could!" Clara burst, "It's too late. There is  no going back in this spell! It's Ancient Magic. Mind Magic," she cried.
