CHAPTER 3

(PORULUSICA'S P.O.V)

My gaze shifted towards Laxus who held his usual serious expression, as he stared at the strange orange balls. Most of fairytail members stood in a circle in silence. Looking at the balls trying to fathom what was going on. "I've checked every magic book we have here, and still nothing!."

Levy exclaimed in frustration as she sat at a table with magic books scattered all over a table. "There has to be something," Gray spoke up not taking his eyes off the balls. "Come on Porulusica you got to know something about this." Laxus said nonchalantly.

"I told you," I shot back in irritation. "I have no idea about their origin. The only thing I sensed was that it was ancient and powerful, and that they were heading here." "But why?..." Lucy asked shakily. "Their called dragon balls," a strong unknown voice informed us out of nowhere.

We all turned to see a well built young man who was standing next to Erza. As I wondered why Erza's clothes were creased and her hair untidy, Lucy, Levy, and Wendy ran up to her asking if she was okay. "I'm fine everyone," she said smiling blushing in embarrassment.

"Ummm this is Trunks Briefs." She introduced her face red. "He save me from the shadow walkers who had captured." "You were captured!," Lucy exclaimed in shock. "Have to admit your rescuer is very cute." Mirajane spoke up coming over and introducing herself.

I watched as the guild members crowded around Erza and Trunks, as they bombarded them with questions. Whoever he was he was very powerful. I could sense powerful energy radiating off him. I wondered if Laxus could feel it too.

(ERZA'S P.O.V)

"I need to talk to you," Laxus whispered to me, as he pulled me away from the crowd. "This guy isn't ordinary," he whispered to me. "I know." I said to Laxus. "Look, one of the shadow hunters took something from him, and he can't get home without it. So I've decided to let him stay with me."

Laxus raised an eyebrow in surprise. Before he could ask why, Natsu came over interrupting our conversation. As much as I was happy to be rescued and help out a friend, I couldn't help but think about how I was going to deal with my current dilemma.

As I walked upstairs and headed to the balcony, I thought about what had occurred between Jellal and I. It was only a matter of time, before my guild members found out that Jellal was engaged. In less than a month, he would be getting married, while everyone thought we were on a break.

Staring out at the view of Magnolia, I wiped away the tears that began to trickle down my chin. I was such a fool to believe that Jellal had changed. He was still the cunning selfish guy that I knew after all this time. We had a wonderful two year relationship before he suddenly broke the news recently.

Or so I thought…

"What's wrong Erza why are you crying?," Trunks suddenly whispered in ears as I jumped. I quickly wiped my tears away and smiled. Before I could respond a metal pole at high speed flew across the balcony heading straight towards us.
