[Jess's POV]
Finally, we can start looking for the dark guild. I don't like them a whole bunch. They have been taking people from areas around their guild and selling them as slaves to other countries. I went through that at one point in my life and I don't want to go through that ever again, and I certainly don't want anyone else to go through the same things.
My goal was to use jobs we went on to gain information on the guilds location, because they most people refuse to talk about Dark Scythe. The first job we went on was to a mansion in the forest to rid the area of monsters. It should be easy to do if it isn't a trap. We walked for a full day before setting up camp for the night.
"We still have a full day of walking ahead of us so rest up." I said wanting Lucy to get some rest before something happens tonight. I was still up almost two hours later. So, I thought about the guild members. Natsu is the most interesting out of all of them. I haven't seen so many magics in someone before. He has his fire dragon slayer magic and lightning dragon slayer magic. He even has some he can't seem to use. Fire god slayer magic for one example. He also seems to be a demon from the book of Zeref. Gajeel also has two dragon slayers magics Shadow and Iron. Laxus has overwhelming magical strength. Lucy has an odd magic. She uses keys to summon spirits that fight I guess. I couldn't figure what her magic was so I had her show me. I can sense the magics of other people to the degree if I know them enough I can tell how they are just by their magical presence.
I stopped my thinking. I sense a magic I don't know. As the person gets closer. I know her magic now. I start walking towards the girl walking towards me. I am prepared to fight.
"Long time no see Jess." She said, "Same to you Eve." I said in an annoyed tone
Lighting is everywhere. "Lightning God's Bellow!" Eve yelled. A wave of red lighting moved towards me. "Ice make Scythe." I said. A large scythe almost twice my size appeared. Right as my scythe appeared I rolled to the left avoiding the roar. Then a shell of lighting surrounds me. I know this spell. It will shrink before exploding. I use my scythe to cut a doorway out of the shell. I walk out to see Eve staring at me.
She runs up to me and gives me a big hug. I make the scythe disappear. "Yeah I miss you too." I said to the girl crying and hugging me. She likes to test me and all her friends in battle upon meeting after a while. "I thought you were dead." She said crying "I'm glad you are okay too." With no warning, she looks up towards our camp. I curse silently. I guess that would wake a lot of people up. It was loud. "Who is that girl." I paused watching Lucy running towards us.
The three of us walked back to camp. Once there I explained to Eve about Lucy. I also explained to Eve where I had been the ten years. I told her that I roamed the world before learning Ice make magic. That was when I returned home and ran into problems with the new dark guild in the area. After that I told Lucy about how Eve was a friend a long time ago and that we hadn't seen each other in ten years.
"Well Eve you better get back to your home." I said "No." Eve crossed her arms and stared defiantly at me. "You can't come with us you need to go home." I stared into the fire I created for us after the fight waiting for a response. Nothing was said. In the silence, I came to understand what she meant. I looked over at the girl and she was sad and on the verge of tears. "I get it. You can go to my house and wait for me to finish there." I said to the sad girl. She smiled nodded and headed off "She seemed happy to see you." Lucy said, "Well lots of things have happened since we last met and I am not sure I wanna tell her about it." I sighed before saying "Well let's get going I doubt either of us are going to get back to sleep." Lucy agreed and we packed our stuff up and headed towards the mansion once again.
[Gray's POV]
We went on a mission same as all the others. Natsu and myself argued all the time though that is nothing new. It did get in the way of completing the mission on time though. We completed one mission. We searched for someone's lost pet. It was a huge pain. Natsu is the least patient person I know and it took almost all day to find the pet. We ended up finding him and returned him. The client didn't like the job we did and didn't want to pay us. Natsu wasn't happy and he destroyed the man's house. We told Laxus when we got back. He just kinda laughed at us muttering something about nothing new here or something similar.
Nobody was back yet besides Laxus, and the two of us when Lucy arrived at the guild by herself. She seemed sad I noted. I think it might have to do with why Jess isn't here. "Hey Lucy, where's Jess?" I asked confused. "She ran into an old friend and decided to spend some time with her." She took a second before continuing
"We took out the monsters and she decided to meet up with her friend and hang out for a while." She sounded kinda down. "Hey what's wrong Lucy you sound upset?" Calm outside but panic inside of me. "She fought all of the monsters by herself and wouldn't let me help." Again, she paused "Where's Natsu?" She asked. As if in answer the building was shook by an explosion. That must be Natsu, but what is he doing.
Natsu was fighting some unknown guy behind the guild. Upon seeing us he ran. What a coward running when he realized he was outnumbered. "Natsu what happened." When he heard Lucy Natsu turned around and hugged her. He separated from her and explained. "The bastard caught me by surprise and hit me in my gut. I gave him a fire dragon's roar and he just diverted it and made it explode. The bastard is strong but I'll get him next time."
We walked back to the guild. Back in the guild even with Natsu there Lucy didn't seem to cheer up. "Natsu, Gray I need your help." Natsu walked towards the blond. "Sure, Luce I'll help." Before she said anything, she cried. "It's Jess. She is in trouble. She might say she is fine but she isn't. She is going die." She said in between sobs. "Let's go find her and save her then because that is what family is for right."
