I don't own Letter Bee

(Lag's P.O.V)

I looked at Lacy, surprised. She talked for the first time since she woke up. She talked to me. Me of all people. Why?

"I asked, who are you?" Lacy looked irritated that I forgot to answer her question the first time.

"I'm Lag. I'm a letter bee." I answered her.

"Do I know you?"

"Um, I guess you could say that. You see, I delivered a letter to you some time ago. That was the day you had your heart eaten by a gaichuu."

"I see." Was all Lacy said.

A few moments of silence went by. Lacy looked like she was deep in thought, and I wondered if something was bothering her. I wish I could help her, I really do. I don't what it's like to have your heart taken by a gaichuu, to have all of your memories taken away from you. I wanted her to know she's not alone, that I'm here for her. After all, I'm her friend.

(Lacy's P.O.V)

Lag, huh. What a familiar sounding name.

Why is it so familiar? Even if he says that he was there that day to deliver a letter, why do I feel so… nostalgic? I only knew him for one day, then why? There was something about this person, and I couldn't place my finger on what it was.

I should keep my eye on this person.

(Lag's P.O.V)

"Sharon." I heard Lacy say from behind me. "Throw this letter away."

"Yes, mistress." Sharon walked over to Lacy and took the letter from her.

When Sharon walked out the door, I quickly followed. I couldn't allow her to throw out the letter. That was just too cruel to the person who sent it to her. I followed the maid to the kitchen. I saw her hand hover over the trash can, but before she could release the letter, I shouted.

"Sharon! You can't throw it away!" Sharon looked over at me.

I saw a small twinkle in her eyes, and I became confused. She let out a small laugh and walked over to me. I was even more confused. Why was she laughing? Then I realized she was planning something, but what was it exactly?

"Lag, do not worry. I never intended to throw this letter away." Sharon said to me.

"Then… what are you going to do with it?" I asked her.

"Why, of course I'm going to read it!"

"Umm, but it's-"

"I don't care what my mistress think. I know that I shouldn't be doing or saying these things, but I need to know. I have been asking myself 'is it from Stephanie, or someone else. But who else would send her a letter?' This will be the only time I will do this sort of thing. If you do not approve, then you can wait outside the kitchen." Sharon looked at me, waiting for my answer.

I simply stood there. I also wanted to know, and I also knew that we shouldn't be doing this, but I didn't care.

"Go ahead." I said. "Open it."

Sharon smiled at me, and took out the letter from the torn envelope. We read the letter silently; both of us had a look of horror. It was from Stephanie, and she still wanted to meet her sister. I remember the words Stephanie told me that day she came.

'I can't have her alive much longer.'

'Why do you want to kill her so badly?' I asked.

'Her every breath is interfering with my work. If she were to be dead, I could complete my many missions that keep on piling up.'

I still couldn't figure out how Lacy was interfering in Stephanie's work. It just didn't make sense.

"Oh dear." Sharon dropped the letter, all color draining from her face.

"What? What's wrong?" I asked.

"We have to make sure she doesn't go. Knowing her, she will go to find her sister. She can't go." Sharon wasn't making any sense whatsoever.

"Who? Lacy?" Sharon nodded as I said her name.

"She can't go." Sharon kept repeating these words.

I looked down at Niche and said, "Go check on Lacy, call me if there's anything wrong."

Niche nodded and ran out of the room. I grabbed Sharon's hand and guided her to a chair. I told her to sit and I went to go get her a glass of water.

"Lag!" I heard Niche yell down to me.

I quickly took off towards Lacy's room. I was terrified of what I was going to find. Was she ok? Was she there at all? The sound of Niche's voice was distressed, panicked even. When I reached Lacy's room, I threw open the door and ran in. My heart stopped, and I felt the breath leave me.

The window was open, letting in a cool night breeze, and Lacy was gone.

It's probably been a long time since I last updated. I'm not sure. I've had a writer's block for all of my stories, and I got so frustrated. I finally thought of something for this story, but I'm still stuck on the other two. But of course, I will figure something out, cause that's just what I do. Hoped you liked this chapter.
