***Maylene's p.o.v***

It was the end of the night of day three of the Grand Magic Games. Miss Porlyusica stitched up and cleaned up my wounds before going to watch the end of Wendy's match, Gajeel and Laxus staying with me the whole time.

Wendy came in shortly after her match and used her magic to heal me as Porlyusica instructed as promised. As she was healing me, she told me about her match with Chelia and how much fun it was.

After she was done, Porlyusica kicked everyone out for the night so I could rest.

Gajeel and Laxus moved to stay, but Porlyusica reassured them that I would be fine and told them that they needed their rest for tomorrow's games.

They seemed unconvinced, but they left anyway.

It was now dark, and I was curled up under my covers on a real bed, trying to find out how to sleep on something so comfortable.

I placed my hand over my bandaged torso. My wounds still hurt, a lot, but they definitely felt much better than before.

I held up my left-hand glancing at my new guild mark. 'Will this guild be any different?' I thought before quickly shaking my head. 'No! Gajeel says this guild is nothing like dads. I trust Gajeel. Gajeel promised this guild would be better, but... I'm still scared. I don't know what to do. I just don't want to be hurt anymore,' I thought choking a sob as I pulled the sheets over top of me.

"Hey, your Maylene, right? Master's granddaughter and Laxus's sister?" A voice asks.

I tensed up at the new voice.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. With all the ruckus from before, I didn't get a chance to meet you. My names Elfman, it's nice to meet you," Elfman says.

I peeked out from under the sheets seeing Elfman staring at the ceiling.

After a few moments of silence, Elfman sighs, closing his eyes again, not expecting a response.

"You too," I suddenly whispered.

Elfman opens his eyes, surprised I even responded.

"I saw your match, I'm glad you won," I whispered to him.

"Really? Thanks. I appreciate it. How are your wounds?" Elfman asks me.

"There ok now, but they still hurt a bit. What about yours?" I asked him.

"Heh, I'll be alright. I'm a real man after all," Elfman responds.

It was silent for a bit before Elfman said, "I'm sorry for what they did to you."

I perked up at that, poking my head from under the sheets a bit.

"They had no right to do that to you. I know your probably scared, but I promise on my honor as a man that Fairytail is different. You may not see it now, but when you do, I promise you'll love it too," Elfman promised.

I smiled a bit, mumbling an 'ok' before covering myself back up in the bedsheets.

'Gajeel said to give this guild a chance. Maybe, ...it won't be as hard as I thought it would be,' I thought before I finally fell asleep.

***Timeskip***       ***Gajeel's p.o.v***

"Good luck today Gajeel!" Levy exclaimed as she, Pantherlily and I walked into the stadium.

Before we all parted ways, I stopped them.

"Hey, I need you guys to do me a favor," I asked them.

"What is it?" Lily asked.
