Chapter 3

Where am I? Wasn't I in just some short of hall with a lot of doors? I can't remember but I'm sure I managed to enter in one of those doors…but I can't remember what happened next. Did I fell asleep? Anyway, I need do go back to the hall and try one of those doors.

I tried to get up but suddenly fell down.

"I'm a little dizzy. Did I just bump my head into something? Maybe if I rest for a while…"

On the other side of the, room was a small torch. The torch wasn't so far and managed to reach out. With this, I can see where I am.

"This place looks familiar."

I was in a small corridor and there was a door behind me. This is convenient. No! It's not convenient at all! I can go through that door and probably find more doors or I could just walk through the corridor. I stepped close to the door and tried to open but it was firmly shut.

"One-chan, I can help you. Let me help you."

"This voice…I heard it somewhere…Is anyone there?"

A small figure appeared in front of me. It was the figure of a small girl. On the first sigh, it looked like Wendy, but when I looked more closely, she was different: different from a normal child, different from a normal person.

Her hair was dark purple, but beautiful long. She was wearing a pink dress and was barefoot. She was so adorable! But there was something in her that makes me want to stay away from her. But at least, I know that I'm not alone in this place.

"Are you lost too?"

"One-chan, I should be the one doing the questions. But first, one-chan, do you want to be my best friend? We can play forever!"

The girl started smiling.

"Ah, yes, we can be friends. My name is Levy Mcgarden, but my friends call me Levy."

"Friends….one-chan, I know where we are. I will help you."

"You know this place? Where are we?"

"One-chan and I are at my house. Do you want to see my room? You'll love it!"

She walked to the door behind me and simply opened it. I couldn't believe it! The door that was firmly shut minutes ago, a small girl opened it easily. I know I'm weak but this is just crazy! I pointed at the door and the girl nodded.

"This way. You just have to follow me!"

"You said this was your house?...How did I get here?"

"I invited you. Don't you remember?"

"You…invited me? I'm sorry but I can't recall being invited to play with you."

Behind me was that creepy corridor with the door shut, again. We were now back in the hall full of doors. The girl stopped in the middle of the hall and faced me.

"One-chan, do you want play hide-and-go-seek? In fact, I'm playing it with lots of people now. But I found you first, so you're my best friend now!"

"Lots of people? D-do you need help to find them? I love this game!"

Lots of people…if this means I can explore this place, there is a high possibility that I may find the others. And also, I need to find who is this girl.

"Where should we look first? How about that door? Should we look there first?"

I pointed to the smallest door in the hall. I couldn't open, so the owner of the house should be the one that was supposed to open that specific door.

"I already told you to not go near that door. Wasn't I clear, one-cha?"

"Why can't I go through that door? Is there something you're afraid of showing? Don't worry. If something happens, I'll protect you!"

The girl kept silent for a few moments and said something but I couldn't hear. It's better if I leave that door alone for now. I need to find everyone first.

"I'm sorry. Let's go to another door then."

"No. You're not my best friend anymore. You're my older sister now. My one-chan! One-chan! Let's go find the other players! This way, this way!"

Yes. We need to find them. I need to find them.

"Ah, it looks like we found the second player. This way, one-chan!"

"The second player? I don't see anyone. Where is he?"

"Behind that door, we will find another player."

I ran to that door and tried to open it. I was surprise when the door opened without resistance. I could hear steps approaching really fast, like someone were running like hell. While I was running, the girl slowly walked behind me without saying a word. The smile disappeared on her face. She was now with a serious expression.

"Is someone there? Gajeel! Lu-chan! Natsu! Erza! Anyone!"

I stopped in the middle of the way. The steps were getting closer and closer. I hope is someone from the guild! The girl was now next to me, still with her serious expression.

"…BI….."

"I can hear a voice. Someone is definitely coming!"

"CHIBI! STAY AWAY FROM THAT THING!"

"This voice….is this….Gajeel? Gajeel! Where are….!"

Gajeel appear in front of me and suddenly stood in front of me, facing the girl, as if he wanted to protect me. Finally, I found him. I found someone from the guild.
