Yay it's a new chapter. technically I'm a little over my time limit but this was a real pain to type. It is kind of short but it's something right? Chapter 11 isn't ready yet but may be soon, maybe. Anyway let the story continue...

And of course I own basically nothing especially not anything that actually comes from Fairy Tail.

In the silence left by the spirits decree Ana's gleeful voice rang out, "Ros!" the little lioness launched herself into the older woman's arms.

Ros caught her effortlessly, wrapping her in an affectionate embrace. "Ana," she sighed. "I'm so glad you're safe." She released Ana and turned to Lucy. "Doamna Lucy, thank you for taking care of our little sister. I know she can be a handful. I assume Ana has explained at least some of where we come from, so I'll skip that part for now. Did you have any questions about us or the blood keys?" Ros' voice was soothing yet inviting, putting Lucy at ease.

"I am curious about Kerberos. All I know is based in mythology, that Kerberos once guarded the gates of Hades, or the Underworld." Lucy hesitated as her fingers brushed over Horologium. "There is so much I'd like to ask, but it's still early and we should keep moving."

Ros bowed her head. "If that is what you wish. We will answer all your questions when we stop for the night."

Lucy turned and headed for the mouth of the cave. When she reached the edge she looked around then back at her new spirit friends. "Anyone have a clue about how to get down from here?"

:)

"She had to have gone this way, right? I mean if she had turned around we would have passed each other… right?" Ever was irritated. 'We came this way cause it was the general direction she was traveling but now, with this giant sheer rock face before me I'm doubting our choice.' "Maybe we missed something." She sighed, "Maybe we need to go back and take another look." She didn't really want to go back but she was more afraid of Laxus than she was of breaking a heel or chipping a nail.

"No," Bixlow interjected, "she was here recently. I'd guess we are no more than half an hour behind her. She went up." He chuckled, "hope you have some power left in those wings of yours Ever."

"Why?"

"I'm pretty sure that's the only way you're getting up this mountain, because I'm not carrying you and Freed won't either I bet."

"Of course I still have power," Ever huffed. "What kind of idiot damsel do you take me for?"

"Just checking." Bixlow hesitated, "so how are we planning on kidnapping cosplayer without her seeing us? I mean we're hardly stealthy."

Freed quietly spoke up, "when she stops for the night I'll sneak up and write a rune box around her. If I do it right she won't be able be able to see anything once it's done."

Ever couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Who said we have to kidnap her? All we have to do is get her to Laxus, whole and healthy. The quicker the better."

Both men already knew this, "hence the kidnapping plan. It's the easiest way." Freed nodded along with Bixlow's words.

Ever rolled her eyes, "and you're going to explain it to Laxus how?" both men went wide eyed, having not thought of that. "Look, she's going in the right direction, why don't we just get ahead of her and lay some kind of path?"

Freed had the good sense to look embarrassed. "You're right Ever. We should try that first."

"Whatever," sighed Bixlow.

:)

'Where the fuck is she going? Why climb up a fucking mountain side?' Gajeel sighs, but he starts climbing. 'I hope she's fucking enjoying herself, cause when I get my hands on her I'm going to have to punish her for running from me. Gihi.' Gajeel grinned, 'and I know I'm going to be the only fucking one enjoying that.'
