"Chelia!" Sting shouted, still carrying Rogue that breathes even more slower.

They are now in Lamia Scale. Gray and Natsu caught up and looked around. Suddenly Lyon came in confused.

"Why are you here?" Lyon ask.

"Where's Chelia? I need her, please!

I cant let him die here, not here.. Not now!" Sting dropped to his knees and hugged Rogue.

"Get Chelia here, Rogue's been cursed with a dark magic..that only God slayer magic could heal." Gray explained.

"...

She's not here right now." Lyon whispered hesitantly. "Chelia isnt here.."

Sting raised his head and stared at Lyon with his blood shot eyes.

"What?" He asked and hugged Rouge tighter. "No..

No, no, she has to be here. She has to, or.. or not..

Rogue.." Sting looked down to Rogue who breathed even heavier. His mind his with realisation. "No Rogue!"

He kissed Rouge and hugged him. "Come on you got to fight it! You have to! You cant  do this right now..

I was wrong..

Please..

You cant leave me..I need you.." Sting placed his forehead on Rogue's head. "I need you to be here with me.. I wish we never broke up, I wish I never left you..

I wish you'd tell me if you're hurt.. I wish you're more honest and straight up front when you dont like it..

I wish I was better..

I.." Sting started to mumble.

"I wish I could help you.." Sting started tearing up and hugged Rogue.

Natsu and Gray stand beside him, trying not to cry. Lyon looking down, guilty.

"Where is Chelia?" Natsu suddenly ask.

"She went to her aunt's baby shower." Lyon said. "At the east coast of Fioré.."

"..we're too far." Sting whispered. He hugged Rogue even tighter. "Rogue please..

Talk to me...

Tell me you're going to be alright..please." Sting said and kissed Rogue even more.

He's body, becoming more paler.

"Sting!" A voice shouted. It was Yukino, Poryulsica and a boy.

The boy who had cursed Rogue.

"Where is Rogue? Let her see him." She said and panted. Poryulsica walked towards Sting and knelt down. "..it is a cursed spell, by the controller.."

She closed her eyes and Rogue's cold face. "Natsu, try heating a little flame for me.

...I can heal Rogue, but it'll take a moment to do it..

You see.."

"So..Freed brought home, a family, a gang and he went home?!" Evergreen shouted in disbelief. "We waited for him to come back a day ago, for my wedding and he didnt even come in here to apologize?!"

"Hunny, calm down.." Elfman said.

"We are very sorry to bring upon a distraction for your wedding..

But Freed and his ally came to save the man who had saved me..

Who is now in grave danger.." Estelle said bowing. "I want to grant them my full thanks."
