The next morning, I woke up to see Erinine still asleep

I got up a bit, then I heard voices in the guild hall

{ I wonder what their talking about? }

I get out of bed to feel my back burn

" Agh" I whisper

I look around, and then I see a mirror

{ I'll see how it looks }

I walk over and pull my shirt up behind me

I saw Raven Tail's mark burned on my back

My eyes widen

{ it wasn't a dream }

I pull down my shirt and slowly walk threw the door

" Now we must talk about the mission." Gramps said

Everyone nodded

" I need to choose 6 to people to go on this mission.." Gramps continued

" Rosemary, Reiki, Rin, Sylvia, Storm, and Nashi," Gramps said " I would have brought Nalu, but she's out at the moment."

Nashi looked down

{ I would have gone, well who says I still won't }

Just then I heard foot steps coming to the door

" Oh, no.." I whispered

I ran back to my bed and acted like I was asleep the whole time

Nashi walked threw the door, Erinine had now woken up

" Nalu? You up?" he asked

I turned and looked at him

" I am now, what's up?" I asked

" Oh, I was just checking on you.." he said trailing off

" Your a terrible liar Nashi, just tell me." I commented

He laughed

" You got me" he said " well, I going on the mission... without you."

" What, you joking..." I said

He shook his head no

" W-What, why..." I asked

" Cause I'm one of the strongest people in the guild."

I looked down

" B-But I want to go, please don't leave me!" I cried

" I'm sorry Nalu, but you just can't cause the way you are right now." Nashi said sadly

I wiped the tears away

" Ok, when do you guys leave?" I asked

" I a week." he replied

" Ok, got it" I commented

" But can I come out now?" I asked

" If your up for it" he replied

I got up slowly

" Ok, let's go" I said as I walked to the door

" Come on Erinine, it's breakfast time." I said as I walked out the door

" Oh, umm, ok?" she said

As I walked out, everyone looked at me

" Ummm, what is it?" I asked

Everyone ran to me with joy
" Oh yay, your up!" Sylvia said happily

" Yeah, good to see you up and walking" said Reiki

" Too bad your too hurt to fight me right now" Novr said smirking

" I would most likely beat you again." I said back smiling

" I'm glad to see you smile again too." Storm said

I tried not to blush in front of everyone

" How about we all eat now? Cause I'm hungry." Novr said walking to the kitchen

" Yeah, let's go!" I yelled running after Novr

" Why does she start running after being burned in the back?" Storm asked

" Well she's part Natsu, it ain't the first time" Gramps said laughing
