A/N: Just Letting you know, I think Evergreen may be a little (or a lot) OOC becuase I just can't get her personality down.

Chapter 7:

"Ugh, what happened?" Erza felt as if she was being awoken from a dream. Everything was hazy. Let's see... she remembered she was shopping with Evergreen and Pamela, the young girl went to change into some clothes the two of them had picked out, then this creature came out of the same changing station. She was about to battle said creature when a woman with silver hair and purple eyes came... and, after, she... she...

Erza couldn't remember.

The red-head searched around her. Evergreen lay knocked out a little ways away from her. The clothing shop they were in was messy and broken. Clothes racks were knocked over, windows were shattered, pieces of glass lay all over the floor, and bits of the floor was in crumbles. What could've...?

Erza's brown eyes widened immensly.

She remembered.

Well, she remembered bits and pieces. Images of her and Ever turning away at the woman's command, the silver-haired woman knocking the large griffin here and there, the woman saying that the creature was their friend. She remembered it randomly, most likely out of order, but she remembered. And that was enough.

That meant that the woman got away.

That also meant that if that thing was Pamela, they failed at protecting her.

Two of Fairy Tail's mages.

According to her memories, she had litterally just stepped out of the way and let Pamela be taken and hurt. With no effort at fighting the urge to move, at least not that she could recall.

It meant that Erza, someone who swore to protect her friends at all costs, had failed in protecting her. Even though she had only known the fifteen-year-old a day and a half she still considered the young girl a friend. And if that wasn't enough, though she hadn't officially submitted her request, or at the least told anyone what it was, Pamela was also a client.

"Damn it!" Erza punched the ground as she moved to get up. Bits of the tile cracked and flew at the contact of Erza's armoured fist. For a moment the great "Titania", the supposed queen of fairies, drowned in guilt over her easy defeat. 'No,' she thought, shaking her head, 'I don't have time to feel bad.'

She walked over to Evergreen, her fallen companion, and shook the fairy queen wannabe. Said woman groaned in response. She mumbled words that sounded something like 'The true fairy queen deserves her beatuy sleep.' escaped her lips.

Erza sighed. "Evergreen, get up! You don't have time to sleep, we need to get to the guild and tell the others."

Evergreen groaned again, this time opening her brown eyes. "Tell the guild wha-?" she started with an annoyed tone, suddenly remembering where in Earthland she was and remembering enough of what happened to look worried.

Erza nodded. Silently both mages got up and rushed to Fairy Tail.

The guild, as always, was as rowdy as they'd left it, but upon the guild doors slamming open by the hand of Erza, everyone hushed down and stared fearfully at her. The look on Erza's face was demonic, pure rage had overcome her for her lack of responsibility and for the woman who had harmed the young girl she should have protected.

The sun shone in the background, shadowing the front half of her body making her look of rage much worse. Behind her stood Evergreen, who would have also been cowering in fear, but she, too, was also angry. Walking in, both women, looked around the guild.

Erza was the one who spoke. "Pamela is in danger."

An audible 'What?!' was heard from Lucy, and some more gasps were heard from the other girls. The rest of the guild was looked shocked, but that was more the main members than anything. Some of the guys (namely Natsu) looked furious.

"How?! What happened?" Lucy asked hurrying over to the red-haired monster, all the fear that she felt from before left at the revelation that one of her friends were in trouble. And if not a close friend, an innocent girl, who she knew couldn't have done anything wrong.

"As some of you know we were out shopping. Pamela, she went to try on some clothes, and the next thing we knew this creature - a griffin, I think- came out and attacked. She was no where in sight! Then, this woman came and told us the creature was her -that it was Pamela. She- she controlled us -moved us out of the way to get to that thing. Whether that was Pamela or not, she's in danger," Evergreen told them.

"I have no excuse for not being able to protect her," Erza looked to the floor, ashamed, after a moment she looked up to her family, "but even so I ask for your help. On the pride of our guild we need to find and save Pamela!"

"Yeah, but where do we start? From the sound of it, you guys don't even know what the name of that woman is, let alone if that was the pertrator. You don't even know if the -griffin was it?- You don't even know if that's Pamela or if she wondered off somewhere," Max pointed out. (Yes, he was being a bit of a downer.)

All went silent.

"But we have dragon slayers..." Levy murmured to herself, in deep thought.

Gajeel leaned over the girl. (Did I mention they were standing together?) "Oi, Shrimp? What about me, Salamander, and Wendy?"

Her face lit up. "You guys! You guys can track her down by scent!"

Lucy lit up too. "Yeah, we have dragon slayers, that's all we need."

A/N: See? I told you it would take a bit longer. I know not a lot happened, but I still hope you enjoyed. Please favorite, follow, and review. It really means a lot to me. You honestly don't know how excited I get when I get those emails. Now normally I reply to reviews via PMs, but I can't exactly do that this time.

To Mystic (Guest): Sorry you didn't get to see what happened to Pamela yet, and thank you so much for reading.

Siging out, Cop.
