THIRD POV
"Ah.... what an exhausting day..." Natsu says stretching. "Shall we camp here then??" Zerton suggests. "Sounds good. Gajeel, let's go and get firewoods" Natsu says as he nods in agreement.

"Then I shall go and find dinner" Zerton says standing up after unpacking. "Happy, Lily, you guys stay on guard for a while" Natsu says. "Aye sir!"

-

"Damn.. I'm sleepy..." Natsu yawns. "Mhm..." Gajeel stares at the firewoods in his arms. "What's wrong??" Natsu asks. "Why exactly are you going there?? I heard Zeref doesn't really like seeing strangers" Gajeel asks.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan for that" Natsu grins. "Mhm... I don't believe that "plan" of yours would actually work out though..." Gajeel says in a serious tone.

"That was rude you bastard!" Natsu rants. "Oh yea punk??" Gajeel rants back. "Huh?? wanna fight you spikey weirdo clown??". "You're on ugly pinky hair!!". "Who's a pinky you metal nosed asshole?!"

"Shut up noisy loud idiot!!". "You shut up naggy old hag!!!". "Smelly pinky clown!!!". "Noisy stinky tofu!!". "Stupid clanky bastard!!!". "Muscle head asshole!!"

-

"I can hear them..." Happy says, hearing Natsu and Gajeel barking at each other. "Yea... amazing..." Lily says in a serious tone.

Suddenly, a suspicious figure passed by them. Lily, noticing the presence, turned around but saw no one. "What is it??" Happy asks. "Nothing..." Lily says as he went back to talking with Happy.

-

"That should be enough" Zerton hums as he  picks the apple from the tree and went on to return back to camp. Walking slowly, he senses a suspicious figure following him.

He continues walking and turned around to see someone unexpected.

-

"You noisy damn old bastard!!!". "Shut up cranky pink stick head!!". "Spikey ugly asshole!!". "Weak ass bastard!!!". "Nail thing idiot!!!"

-

"How long are they gonna go on for..." Lily sighs. "Aye..." Happy sighs, shrugging. "They sure are taking their time, and that wanderer" Lily says.

-

"Grr...." the duo shot countless glares at each other. Silence was in between for minutes, picking up firewoods silently, while glaring at each other.

"What... d...uo.. mean??" they suddenly heard a faint voice not far from them. They looked at each other then nods, in agreement of what they are about to do.

They tiptoe towards the direction where the voce is coming from. "I understand" they heard a different voice. They tried to take a peek but whom they saw was something different.

They saw Zerton, humming and picking up the fruits on the ground. "Zertony guy??! Natsu whispers. "Suspicious..." Gajeel whispered back.

Zerton then, having all the fruits picked up, went back to their campsite. Natsu and Gajeel then waited for to get out of his sight before going back.

On one of the trees was a figurine, with a killers eyes, glaring at the duo, before disappearing in midair.
