And the story continues... got nothing to say so here you go ;)
Levy cried in the arms of the man she loved, Gajeel held her close and tried to hold back but couldn't help but let a few tears slip away. Romeo did not feel the need to hide his tears from his family and sat down at the kitchen table and let his tears flow, Mira ran to Laxus's arms and howled like only she knew how to, Cana became angry and stormed outside. She needed to see this for herself. Bickslow sat next to Romeo and placed his hand around his shoulders. Juvia soon followed Cana but when she got closer to Cana who was now crouching in front of the grave of their dear friend, Juvia lost her will to stand and fell to her knees, and cried at the terrible loss they all had to face, but like Freed had said, the grave was new, not even a week old, had they just found her sooner. Asuka followed them out but passed Juvia to take Cana in her arms, doing her best to be a grown up about things but that thought only lasted a moment. Freed felt he had to understand what had happened, he walked away from the cottage as far as he could to try in find a trace of the runes or where they had been. And so he walked.
For the first time in a week Luna slept soundly. She woke up just after noon in a daze and was so hungry, she had been so lucky to fall asleep next to a raspberry bush, she tasted the berry's not knowing what they were like and if they were bad for her health, but with that first bite, she could not contain herself and she dug herself into the bush and ate her fill. She fell asleep once again now deep inside the bush.
Around midday old team Natsu picked up her scent but had a hard time pinpointing it for all the natural smells around. All the blossoms and berries surrounding them made it hard not to stop and smell the flowers and taste the amazing berry's this forest had in its gardens. But they continued to search and before long they stood by the bush Luna was currently sound asleep in and both Natsu and Wendy refused to look anywhere else, there target had to be around here, the scent was strongest here. "I'll look around this place, Wendy and Charla look in the trees surrounding it, Natsu and Happy do the same" Gray look in the surrounding bushes." "Aye Sir" they all followed Erzas orders and spread out, Erza looked around the bush for footprints and found a place close by that had recently been pressed down as if someone had been lying there for a long time. She followed a path in the grass as if someone had dragged themselves closer to the Bush and the closer she got to the bush again she could hear it, the sound of a person sleeping, she stuck her head into the bush only to see a girl with berries in her hand and the reddest lips she had ever seen, she attempted to signal the others but as she was about to pull her head out the girl started crying in her sleep. Erza could hear her repeat very silently again and again "mom" Erza knew something must have happened to this girl. She couldn't see her well in the shadow of the bush but she saw how her face resembled that of Lucy's.
"her Daughter?" Erza said to herself after she had removed her head from the bush and sat down in front of it. "who is her dad?... Where is he?" Erza contemplated the idea of Lucy having a daughter. In her head she saw a very frustrated smiling mother having the celestial spirits watching her. "Erza any'?" "shhhhh" Erza pointed at the bush and motioned Gray to be quiet and take a peak inside. Gray stuck his head in the bush and took a look but couldn't help but only see a foot in his face and went flying, mostly in surprise, and saw a blond girl run away in the other direction. With a very surprised Erza following fast. "Oi wait we just want to talk"
Luna's head started to race along with her heart and in her mind she questioned this whole scenario. "where did they come from, what do they want? Why am I so scared of them? I have to get out of here" She ran as fast as she could and she could feel the power from last night hitting her hard took to flying once again, and flew as fast as she could. Only to have a pink haired man and a blue winged blob with a face follow her and they were right on her tail. (no she has no Idea what a cat is) she sped up and did her best to avoid every tree on the way but couldn't help hit a few branches so she headed up towards the sky.
"Happy!" Natsu said in his once usual way to get Happy to go Max speed and his good old friend understood completely. "AYE SIIIR! MAX SPEED!" and within a second they were high on her tail. Natsu reached his hand out and grabbed her leg only to be singed by her flame which she concentrated on her feet to get him off, only she did not realize who she was playing tag with and could not get her leg loose so she quickly turned around and gave his face a nice kick. As she turned around and Natsu saw her face it was as if time slowed down. "Lucy? No.. But...She Looks just like her... Why is she crying" was the only thing going through his head and as the foot hit his face time sped up again and he let go of her leg and let her get away. "Happy lets go back I have her scent now we can find her later." He had noticed something else, she was scared out of her life. "Was that why she was crying?" Natsu thought as they flew back to where the others had waited.
By this time the once that had been on the island were almost back again and dreaded the moment they had to tell everyone the bad news. As the day went on and the part of the guild that had waited in the village and the once that had been on the island were gathered outside the barn having heard the news no one had a smile in thought and decided that when they returned home they would raise there own stone for Lucy. When team Natsu returned seeing all the sad faces and tears drying on there faces they realized they had not found any good news on the island. Natsu walked up to Cana, he needed to hear it. She just nodded and fresh tears streamed down her face. Natsu could do nothing but fall to his knees and cry himself. Erza though with tears flowing told the rest what they had found out, told them all about the girl who looked so much like Lucy and how she had ran at the sight of them and How Natsu had seen her fear and her sadness as she was flying away. They all had a new goal. Thou saddened they had to find that girl and help her, and hopefully find out something more. Freed had told them all that he did not find a single trace of runes on the island and assumed that they had been removed. And so it was settled, they would return home and discuss what there next step would be there.
