Well, it's been a while since I posted the first chapter. Here's the second one! I'm sorry I kept you waiting, I just lost interest for the story, but I'm back! ^_^ Enjoy it!
She was laying in the grass, near Magnolia. The sun was shining over her white hair, making it look like liquid silver. Magnolia city was covered by a force field powered by some energy-balls.
"Laxus made his move.. Stupid bastard."
One by one, the lacrymas exploded, making the force field disappear. She smiled amused, looking in it's direction. She stretched her left hand towards one of the remaining lacrymas. With the other hand pulled an imaginary arrow pointed in the lacryma's direction. As she let the imaginary arrow go, it colored black and hit the ball in a matter of seconds, making it explode. She received a light shock, sparks appearing all over her body.
"Nice one, Laxus. It tickled me. Dumbass.."

Soon as all the balls were destroyed and everything was peaceful again she got up, adjusting her dark boots and started walking towards the town. As she entered she saw the destroyed church and all the damage made by Raijinshuu and Fairy Tail's wizards. She sighted and walked to Fairy Tail's building.
Lexine entered the building quietly. Everyone was hurt or silent, making the atmosphere strange rather than feeling like home. This was not good. Evergreen ran towards her with tears in her eyes. She stopped suddenly, petrified. Lexine passed by her, not even looking in her eyes.
"I told you it was a bad idea."
"Laxus-sama is going to be exiled! Don't you understand? I thought you were on his side! Shameless bitch.."
Lexine looked savagely in her eyes and said nothing. Evergreen took a step back and started sobbing running outside. The white-haired woman passed by a wounded Natsu. She grinned passing by his bed.
"Natsu's getting stronger. He even got Laxus down" she thought.
Somebody called her name. Maybe it was Cana's voice, but she had something important to do. She didn't stop, going straight to the nursery room. She pushed the door and saw Makarov laying in the bed and Laxus standing on a chair next to him.
"Get out."
Lexine glared at Laxus, facing his back. She looked at Makarov. He was looking out the window. Laxus was really going to be exiled. He stood up, facing Makarov.
"Get out. You're exiled."
"Gramps.. You take care of yourself."
"Just go.."
Laxus turned with his face to the door. He glared at Lexine and got out.
"Master.."
Makarov sobbed in his bed, trying not to be seen. It was too late, though. Lexine got closer and placed a peck on his forehead.
"He's gonna be alright. He's your nephew, after all."

"What kind of joke is this?! He's just excommunicating you?!" Evergreen shouted, sweat dropping.
While Bixlow tried to bring arguments too, Freed and Lexine were listening quietly.
"It's the old man's decision.." said Laxus, smiling.
"Well, in that case, I'm leaving the guild with you!"
"Yeah, if you're not gonna be around.."
Evergreen and Bixlow tried to persuade Laxus, but with no success.
"Ah, you two, don't be such idiots. Cant you even bring yourselves to say goodbye?"
Lexine smiled and crossed her arms. Technically, she was not part of the Thunder God Tribe, but she actually was travelling with them, fighting by their side, more or less, depending on how righteous were Laxus' decisions.
"Unlike you guys, I have no reason to stick around, that's all."
While Evergreen, Bixlow and even Freed were on the edge of crying, Laxus took his bags and started walking away.
"Take care of yourselves.. "
"What about the Raijinshuu?!"
"Laxus!"
"We'll see you again, right? .. Laxus.." Freed sighted and looked in Lexine's way. She was coldly starring at the ground.

Lexine was desperately searching Laxus after he disappeared. He bumped into him in Magnolia's park. He was sitting under a big tree, watching everything near him. Watching the parade, Fantasia.
"What do you want ?"
Lexine sat next to him glaring just like him. She crossed her arms on her knees and placed her chin on her arms. Laxus looked at her for a couple of seconds, waiting something.
"You're not gonna do it?"
"Do what?"
"That 'I told you' thing.."
She smiled, still looking at the show. It was about time Erza showed her blades. Lexine looked at him.
"Nope. I think you know now that I was right.. You got your punishment.. And it's already harsh, you don't need me lecturing you."
He smiled, looking at the parade, Gray and Juvia making a pretty big Ice Castle. He put his hood on and got up.
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"The old man exiled you too?"
She hesitated a couple of seconds. He met her look and smiled.
"You cannot lie to me."
Lexine sighted and smiled with a trace of sadness. She got up and looked at him.
"Taller than me. Maybe.. stronger than me. But precisely dumber than me!"
She placed her hands on both of his shoulders, looking straight in his eyes. Her golden eyes had a strange shine.
"Good luck, Laxus.."
He raised his right hand and petted her on the head.
"You don't need to worry. I'll be fine, kid."
"Hmpf.. I'm older than you."
She got on her toes and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. Then she turned around and walked away.
"I'll find and help you when you'll need it."
Laxus grinned and followed her with his look.
"Nope.. I'll find you and help you when you'll need it, kid.."
Laxus just wanted to walk away when he saw Makarov pointing to the sky, the Fairy Tail's sign. Everyone was doing it. Facing the crowd and the show, Lexine rised her right hand, too.
"Gramps.."
"Even if I can't see you.. No matter how far away you may be.. I will always.. be watching you.. Always watching over you.." That was the meaning of the sign. He walked away, leaving Fairy Tail behind.
"I know, gramps.. Thanks."
