Surprises At Every Turn

Eve's POV

My whole body tenses in shock. In a flash, I'm over in front of the man and picking him up by the collar of his shirt roughly with a death glare in the eye that is not covered by my dark bangs. "Where is he?! Where is Lamia Scale?! Where did they take him?!" I shout and shake him violently as I do so.

He scrunches up his face and leans his face away from mine with a fearing expression, "T-To the N-North!' He stutters, and I drop him to the ground and whip around to face the Master.

"I want to go." I tell him with all seriousness in my voice.

Master closes his eyes and slowly shakes his head in disagreement. "No, Eve. We're going to wait for Natsu's team to return and they will go and help with the damage. It is not our problem anyway." He says with a sigh; I clench my teeth in anger as Zee and Luke quickly come to my side for support on the issue at hand.

"All due respect, Master, but Eve has some personal business with this." Zee explains calmly but I can tell he's a bit on edge.

The sandy haired man speaks up, "Are you Eve Fullbuster?" I turn to him and nod with a grim look on my face. There are a few gasps of surprise and some whispering from the other iild members surrounding us when I agree that it is my name, but I ignore them.

"I want to know what's going on there. Luke, can you get us there quickly?" I whip around to him, and he's grinning widely in excitement.

He smiles giddily, "As long as you don't mind going very fast!"

I nod and turn back around to the sandy haired man and address him, "How far to Lamia Scale?"

He flinches at my loud and demanding tone, but answers quickly, "It'll take about two days by vehicle."

"That'll be a few hours by flying at full speed." Luke says and Zee goes to grab our few belongings that we left in the areas we were sitting in before. It doesn't take him long and he's back in less than a minute with everything.

I take my bag and sling it over my shoulder and go to step towards the front doors. "Eve, we are waiting for our strongest team for this mission!" Master argues with a red face of anger. I ten slightly just to face him and narrow my eyes, cross my arms, and shake my head in disagreement.

"I apologize, Master, but I have to take care of this myself so I know that my former friend is safe. Send the other team if you want when they return, but I will be long gone by then." I twist my neck to stare Zee in the eyes with the same expression I just gave Master. He quickly opens his mouth to argue because he knows me well and knows what I'm about to tell him. "Stay here." I order firmly.

"No." He retorts angrily and I glare fully at him. My dark aura seeps out of my pores as I stare him down and dare him to disobey me.

"Stay here Zee, I can't make all three of us fly there at the speed we need to go now if we want to get there in time. You'd just slow us down." Luke speaks up solemnly and claps a hand on his shoulder as a goodbye until we get back.

"No, I'm coming with you two. Through hell or high waters, I am with you both." Zee grabs my arm. I narrow my eyes at him and a cold fog surrounds his arm. He automatically lets go because he doesn't want his arm frozen then broken off of his body like I do to people who really piss me off.

My voice is hard, "You'll stay here because if we keep wasting time and don't get there soon enough, he could be dead soon." My throat clenches at the thought of Leon dying before I can reach him or see him again after these long, painful years. I turn around to Luke, "Let's go."

"Right." He nods we run out of the doors.

"Wait, you two!" Master shouts in aggravation but we're out the doors and halfway into the courtyard outside.

"Wait, Eve, do you know Gray Fullbuster?!" Cana shouts after us as we run.

"Yes, he's my younger brother!" I reply then Luke's wind envelops us and we disappear from their view.

~A Few Hours Later~

Gray's POV

We walk into the guild after almost destroying that last town on the job to capture a mage that has been using his magic to influence people to hand over money to him.. Lucy's groaning in remorse at how much trouble we're going to get in when Master sees us.

I laugh to myself. 'A job well done as always!'

Natsu is still out of commission from the train ride home, so Erza and Happy took him to Lucy's house there the second we got into town. Lucy wasn't too happy about that either.

"Welcome back!" Mira smiles brightly at Lucy and I, but something is behind that smile. "Um, Gray, there was someone here that I think you might've known sometime. Eve Fullbuster." I freeze in shock and my mouth drops open to the floor.

"You have a sister, Gray?!" Lucy exclaims in surprise and drops the drink Mira just handed her.

"What do you mean she's been here?!" I shout urgently at Mira and she flinches slightly but responds quickly.

"Eve joined Fairy Tail with her teammates Luke and Zee earlier today. After she heard that your old fellow pupil, Leon, was captured by someone she ran off with Luke to go and save him." She replies then glances over to the corner of the bar, "Zee is still here though." She gestures to a dark-purple haired man sitting at the corner with an angry expression written all over his face.

I stomp over to him and grab him by the collar of his shirt and hold him up in the air, "Where is Eve?!" I shout in his face, and he meets my eyes evenly with his own annoyed ones.

"Hold on, Gray! Calm down!" Lucy exclaims again, but I ignore her and continue to glare at Zee.

"Wow, you're just like Eve. You must be Gray." The man snorts in agitation and shrugs himself out of my hold and sits back down on his stool. "Oh, and don't bother going after her, she's long gone to save her 'boyfriend' and left me behind." He growls and throws his fist down on the bar and it shudders from the impact. "I'm gonna kill both that ice maiden and bird when they get back!"

"I'M NOT A FRICKING BIRD!" A blonde with brown eyes just like Lucy's comes out of nowhere, yells loudly at Zee, and tackles him to the ground. He gives Zee a few punches to the face until Zee shoves him off.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Zee yells at him and his face heats up in anger.

"Eve sent me back 'cause she 'doesn't want me to get killed!' " Luke spits out and crosses his arms. "It's not like she's so powerful and everything that she can defeat that bastard Morgan!"

"Luke, you're an idiot, she's doing what she always does whenever she's a huge fight! She tells us to stay behind and she risks her life trying to defeat him all by herself!" Zee yells at Luke and he freezes as he comprehends what Zee is saying. Luke runs a hand through his blonde hair and blows air out of his mouth slowly.

Lucy stumbles over to Luke with disbelieving and shocked expressions all over her face, "Onii-san?" All of our mouths drop open to the floor, and his does as well.

"Lucy-chan?! You finally made it out of the hellhole?!" He shouts in joy and picks her up and twirls her in a tight hug that makes her face blue from lack of air after just a few seconds.

"Onii-san, can't-breathe!" She gasps and he reluctantly lets her go and sets her down on her feet gently.

"Sorry." He laughs lightly then his expression turns serious when he remembers what important is going on.

I turn to him with urgency in my eyes, "Who's Morgan?" I go back and forth between looking at him and Zee as they exchange looks together themselves.

Zee sighs and runs a hand through his hair after Luke nods to him, "Morgan is an asshole who has had it out for us, mainly Eve, for about a year now. He must've been doing some researching or something for a while to trace all the way to Leon and attack his guild."

"Eve told me something that after the two of us were knocked out that last time a few weeks ago, Morgan mentioned something about taking away someone she loved. That's why she was on edge for the next few days. I thought she was just pissed off with him for almost killing us for the tenth time." Luke adds and keeps himself next to Lucy.

"Why did you listen to her when she told you to come back?" I cut in harshly and Luke meets my angry eyes with his own distressed ones.

"Because she told me to." Something in his eyes throws me off to be able to reply. "There was something off about her, and I knew I had to get back and get Zee." He finishes and turns to Zee with a grave expression.

"Come on then, she took a magic motorcycle so we should be able to catch up when she is about an hour away from the place." Zee nods and I step in again.

"I'm coming with you." I demand and they nod in understanding but also a little reluctantly.

Lucy grabs Luke's arm and clutches onto it, "Me too."

Luke looks down at her in surprise, "Lucy, this is very dangerous. This guy that we're going to be fighting can kill you with a flick of his wrist, but he prefers to have it be slow and painful for his own amusement. Morgan is truly evil and ruthless. The three of us have plenty of scars all over our bodies to show for it." He warns her in a low tone.

I grimace and my hands clench into fists at my sides at the thought of Eve getting so many scars from whoever this guy is.

"Eve is your friend, right? And she's Gray's sister. I'm coming with you guys." Lucy says determinedly and Luke smiles warmly down at her. I'm anxious to get going and I know it is clearly showing on my face. Both Leon and Eve are in danger. Sometimes I could care less about Leon, but I don't want to see him dead.

"Can you get all of us to fly like this?" Lucy asks as we run out of the front doors after a worried bye from Mira and some yelling and warnings from Gramps.

"I will sure as hell try!" Luke shouts and raises his right arm to the sky with his eyes staring straight forward into the distance. "Spirits of the wind, please grant me your guided power, Group Flight!" He declares and powerful winds surround him then make their way around us. Soon we are all engulfed in wind, and I can feel us begin to move very fast and the ground quickly leaves the bottoms of my feet.

My head whips back and forth in amazement, "What is this?!" I yell in surprise as we whip out of Magnolia and high into the sky.

"One of my most powerful spells, Group Flight!" Luke yells back over the roaring of the wind. He is in the center of all of us with his right arm still raised in the air. "I can only do it once in a while because it takes up a lot of power, and the spirits of the winds work hard to help me do this, it's not just me!"

I stare ahead with what I know is a determined look on my face and my jaw is set tightly. 'I'm coming Eve, and I won't leave you by yourself this time!'

Eve's POV

I whip though countless towns and villages at top speed on the motorcycle.

'I have to get to Leon and kill that bastard Morgan. If I don't get there soon, then Morgan will definitely kill him out of impatience or boredom.' A nervous sweat drop falls down the side of my head in anticipation. I pick up the speed so the trees are just barely visible as I pass. 'Also at this rate, I'll run out of magic energy by the time I get there.' I grimace. 'Leon, wait for me and stay alive!'

Mira's POV

I continue to serve everyone drinks and food and join conversations whenever someone wants me to, but I'm really worried about Gray, Lucy, Eve, Luke, and Zee. I've heard of Morgan before and I know he's very powerful and almost impossible to defeat even by multiple powerful mages. Many mages have gone on job requests to kill him, but they were either destroyed completely or had all their magic taken completely from their bodies.

Suddenly, Max sucks in very loud, deep breath from the table he is sitting at talking with Warren. Max glances around the room in deep confusion. "What happened…?" He trails off and I make my way over to him.

"Are you alright, Max?" I ask softly and he looks up at me with his eyebrows scrunched together in deep thought.

He questions me hastily, "Mira, when did I get back to the guild?"

"About a few hours ago, why?" I reply.

Max jumps out of his chair and quickly questions me again, "Did I talk to a girl named Eve Fullbuster?!"

I take a step back, startled. "Yes, she left to go get Leon from Lamia Scale, then Zee, Luke, Lucy, and Gray went after her."

"Oh no, this isn't good…" He trails off in worry and begins to pace around the room.

"What's wrong?" Cana puts down her mug and glances over at us.

"That man, the one I guess I must've told Eve about, well, he didn't attack Lamia Scale or kidnap anyone." Max starts nervously and explains, "I was doing a job in the next town over from the one Lamia Scale is and I met him in the woods. He took over my body with his magic after I mentioned what guild I'm from and sent me back here to tell Eve that he had captured her friend. I also heard him mutter something about capturing her and stealing her own magic power!" He panicks and Cana and I gasp.

Cliffhanger! Hahaha! I know, I am very evil!
