It's been 2 weeks since I've updated this story. I don't know if you guys had been waiting for a long time or not but I usually update my stories every week. Sometimes it takes a little while because I have busy weeks and by the time I'm free, I'll be too stressed to think. Anyways, I don't want to be a nuisance so here we go.

I was walking out of the dormitory, on my way to work in the guild, when I saw Natsu and the others heading there as well in the opposite direction. They noticed me as well and so I waved to them.

"Natsu! Lucy! Erza! Gray!" Yep, just the usual team. I can't believe they were actually able to form a team. Especially Natsu and Gray after all those years of fighting non-stop but I guess miracles happen when you least expect them to right?

"Oh, Erika!" Lucy waved back at me. I ran towards them at full speed. I hadn't talked to Lucy about the visions I saw because I know that people didn't like to talk about their past. If Lucy wanted to tell the others and me about it, I think that it would be better if she told us herself. Which meant that I had kept quiet about it and had not given a hint to her that I knew about it.

No one really knows that I can still read people's memories even with my magic sealed away. I didn't want to tell anyone for reasons that I don't even know myself.

"You guys just came back from a mission?" I asked once I reached them.

"Ahh! Don't even remind me. It went terrible." Natsu started to whine.

"Really? I thought it went great, we were able to finish it and collect our reward right?" Erza said.

"That wasn't really the problem." Gray sweet dropped and I laughed.

As we reached the guild, a horrible sight awaited us. Lucy was covering her mouth because of the horror that lay within us in a few feet. Natsu looked furious and I didn't blame him, no one would have. The guild was smashed with iron poles. It looked unfixable at the moment. (A/N you guys get the idea right? It's when Phantom Lord attacked the guild.) I was completely shocked and I could speak. It was as if the words left my mind and someone had muted me.

"W-who did this?" Natsu said with anger in his voice.

"Phantom" a soft voice said behind us. I turned to see Mirajane, standing there, with her head down.

"Did you say, phantom?" I had finally managed to get the words out of my mouth. I wasn't sure if I heard her right because I was too stunned and shocked at what I had seen.

"Yes, follow me and we'll go and see master together." She said, gesturing us to go with her. I did as she told me to. She led us to the basement of the guild where all the other guild members, including the master, were. Master was sitting on a table, drinking as if nothing had happened and there was nothing he had to worry about.

I admired his positive attitude sometimes but it really annoyed me this time to see him drinking when the guild was in dire trouble.

"Master, what are you doing?" I couldn't help myself. I had to ask him why he's not even the least bit worried.

"Don't worry Erika, it'll be fine." He said in a joking tone.

"Gramps, how can you be sitting here and drinking so calmly?" Natsu said, starting a brawl with the Master. I did not want to see this. Our guild-mates were fighting when something terrible had just happen. This could lead into a very sticky situation. "I can't stand this anymore! I'm going to teach them a lesson." He started to bawl up his fists, looking really angry, and flames started to appear.

"Aye!" Happy said.

"You idiot." Master shouted back at him and hit him in the head with his extended arm. "Do you want to start a war between the guilds and out us all in danger for sure?"

Natsu groaned and looked in the opposite direction, not saying anymore words. Happy flew towards Natsu in silence.

"How will you resolve this, Master?" I asked calmly. This guild was like a home to me. It was very important but not it had been destroyed by another guild over the night. I felt all depressed inside.

So that was pretty much how my day went. I just sat in silence and did nothing. When night came, I left the guild and headed towards the dormitory.

When I got there, Erza was about to leave her room.

"Going somewhere at night?" I said jokingly.

"Ah yes, if the phantom lord are in town, there's a chance that they might know where we live. Master said that it would be best if we stay together." Erza replied, not understanding my joke.

"Th-that wasn't what I meant but anyway, who are you going to stay with?"

"Lucy's house."

"Only Lucy?"

"And Natsu, Happy, and Gray as well."

"I see, well I have to go now. Bye!" I said.

"Yes, I need to leave as well. Be safe." She said.

"You too!" and with that, we both parted ways. I went upstairs to my room with beautiful plants and flowers (A/N something similar to Evergreen's room but without the statues). After taking a shower I realized that I had no one to stay with. Chills started to run down my spine as I shivered. I didn't know many houses to stay in and I certainly didn't want to sleep alone. My only exception is to go to Lucy's house with Natsu and the others.

I quickly put on my clothes and then ran outside. Along the way, I had encountered with Levy, Jet, and Droy in the streets.

"Levy!" I called to her.

"Oh, Er-chan." Levy greeted me with a happy smile.

"Whom are you staying with?" I asked her.

"Team Shadow Gear." The three of them started to pose.

"Right. Of course." I sweat-dropped

"Wanna join us." She asked.

"Um… no thanks. I'm joining Lucy and the others." I replied to her. I didn't want to join them because the idea of sleeping with those two boys creeps me out but I wasn't going to tell her that. Natsu and Gray were different, I've known them since I was little and I bathed with them along with Erza.

"That's too bad. Well, bye then!" She waved a farewell and they were off. I didn't waste anytime of my own and I went straight to Lucy's house.

When I got there, I rang the doorbell over and over again but no one came to open the door. I tried turning the knob but it wouldn't budge either so I had the craziest idea.

Inside, I could hear Erza, Natsu and Gray talking about something but I couldn't make out the words. The wooden wall that parted us muffled them. Then, I heard footsteps walking towards the front door but it was too late; I was already on the windowsill, trying to get it.

"E-E-Erika?" Erza said with her voice, shaking.

"Erika!" Natsu waved and smiled at me as if it was normal to break in through someone's window. I've heard that he had done plenty of times before in Lucy's house and that's why I decided to do it.

"Erika-san?" Lucy shouted from downstairs. "What are you doing?"

"You don't have to be so polite. We're friends." I said casually. I steadied myself into her room. It was neat and normal. It was exactly what I expected a girl like her to have.

"Why do people keep coming through the window?" Lucy shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Sorry~!"
