Chapter 7

"So, basically, there are two courts, Seelie and Unseelie. Seelie are mostly made out of trooping faeries, Unseelie are made out of solitary faeries except for a couple trooping fearies. Is that right?" Lucy asked wanting to clarify things with Erza before making assumptions.

"Yeah, pretty much. And then there's us, we don't really go in any category. Faerie Tail isn't really a court, it's not big enough to qualify, so we call it a guild and we're the only ones who really respect humans and don't treat them like trash." Erza replied before adding, "And in the courts there are guilds, which are a group of us who join together to do stuff."

"Ok, I think I get it." Lucy said a picture forming in her head, "Are you guys the only ones who didn't go under the Seelie and Unseelie courts?"

"Yeah, but there are a couple who have tried but failed. We are the only ones who succeeded." Erza said with pride.

Lucy frowned, "Is there anything that makes the Unseelie and Seelie special?"

"Special?" Erza echoed.

"Like why do you guys follow those courts if you belong a guild?"

Gray and Natsu joined the converstion, "Well that's easy, it's because-"

"-they have a queen and king to follow." Gray finished.

"King and Queen?" This time it was Lucy who was echoing someone else.

The boys nodded, "Yup, both courts have a King and Queen."

At this Erza frowned, "Though we haven't seen the Queen or the princess of the Seelie court in years. It's like they disappeared but the King insist that their both sick."

"Oh." Lucy said seeming at loss before thinking up another question, "Are you guys immortal?"

The faeries laughed, "No, we just age slightly slower."

"In books, they always mention wars against Seelie and Unseelie. Did they actually happen?"

"There were wars but there are only two major ones you have to know, the two where it was full out war between the courts. Most of the wars happen between guilds not the courts. Faerie Tail helped Seelie in both wars because they treated humans better than the Unseelie court." Erza explained. "That's the thing with books, sometimes there spot on and other times they way off the mark."

Lucy nodded, the image in her head becoming clearer, "Why is Faerie Tail so 'humans must be treated right'?"

"Oh, that's because the first master best friends were humans."Natsu and Gray said at the same time, before getting in a fight about how Natsu had stolen Gray's line (or Gray had stolen Natsu's line).

Lucy looked at Erza in surprise, "The first master? Friends were humans?"

"That's what we call Mavis, she was the one who started Faerie Tail and her best friends were humans. That's why she created our guild, that way humans have a place in our world."

"Oh, she must have been really nice." Lucy thought out loud.

The red head nodded, "I bet she was."

A silence descended upon them but it wasn't awkward or uncomfortable, instead it was the opposite, it was calming. The only noise that was heard was an occasional chirp of a bird or a snapping of a twig under their foot. This silence was held until Natsu interrupted it with a shout of joy.

"Yay! Can you guys feel it? We're almost there!" He bounced up and down in his joy, he had grown tired of walking. "I bet I'll make before any of you losers make it!" He raced off leaving the others (really just Lucy, Gray had ran off muttering 'no way is that pathetic loser winning') to deal with an angry Erza.

The blonde waved her arms in front of her hoping they would keep her safe while sweat dropping at the absurdity of the situation. Why did these things keep happening to her?

Erza raised a shaking fist with a dark aura coming off her in waves, "Did that idiot just call me an loser?! I'll show him who the loser is! Hahaha…" Her mirthless laugh disappeared as she too ran off. Lucy sweat dropped some more as she heard Erza's laugh echo in the large forest.

Lucy walked some more, not wanting to run, before she realized that she had no clue in which direction to go in. Her weird group of faeries had been the ones leading her to wear the gateway was and so without them, she didn't know where she was going.

She stopped moving, not wanting to go in the opposite direction, before continuing, after all if she was going the right way, Natsu could find her. But then she stopped only to continue once more before stopping. "Argh! I don't know!"

She could feel the panic starting to set in after coming to the realization that she was so utterly lost in the woods and the Sun was going down. She hated the dark because her imagination would always find a way to scare her senseless. "Damn it, Natsu! Why did you have to say that stupid thing?!" She shouted but there was no real power behind the words.

She slowly lowered herself to the ground, wrapping her arms around her knees and resting her head on them. Her hair covered up her face making it hard to tell whether tears were falling or if it was just a piece of hair brushing up against her face.

After a while, her fear and panic turned into anger at Natsu for leaving her all alone, sure there's was no way he could have known that Erza was going to take part but still, she had a right to be angry.

"Natsu! You better come here right now, you idiot! Or else I am going to slap you real hard, you hear me!" She screamed and this time there was power beneath them.

She heard the sound of a pair of feet running and she let out a sigh of relief, it was much darker than it had been five minutes ago, the Sun had gone down.

Natsu's face appeared looking worse for wear but still smiling that ridiculously adorable smile that seemed to send her heart racing a little faster. "Hey, sorry I left you behind."

Lucy smiled, "Its fine, at least you came, I don't have to slap you now."

He rubbed the back of his neck, blushing, before sticking out his hand and saying, "Come on."

Lucy grabbed his hand without hesitation and wasn't surprised that he easily lifted her off the ground, "Thanks."

He blushed some more, "No problem."

Lucy snuggled closer to the flickering flame resting in Natsu's palm and felt his arm wrap around her shoulders. They slowly wandered back to where Erza and Grey were waiting by the translucent gateway.
