Three days had passed since I left Laxus in Magnolia. I only hoped he'd read my letter. I'd left because I didn't want him to feel pressured into being with me now because of my situation. Sting and Rouge were the only other people who knew about what had happened and even knowing that Sting had wanted me as his girlfriend. So we'd become an item. Also, we hadn't seen the assassain again, which worried me but disappointed Sting. He was always up for a challenge. Although, he said that if Laxus' came for me that it wasn't going to be a fight. That I rightfully belonged to Laxus.
Because of the trip to Magnolia my sleep schedule had been all messed up, but now it was finally right. To celebrate Frosche and I were shopping. I was happy that Frosche agreed to come even though Rouge wouldn't. As we were shopping I noticed a young girl following us.
I snuck up behind the young woman, "Are you following me?" I questioned her. As I stared at her she reminded me of Rouge. A depressing sort of person dressed in black. But her hair was a beautiful pink, even then it was impossible to not notice the dark energy flowing from her.
When I questioned the girl she took off, it was a shock. I'd at least expected answer. Must be shy, when I looked back Frosche had continued shopping without me... or I'd assumed. But he was gone. Rouge is going to kill me, I thought as I went to look for Frosche.
Hours went by and I decided to get a search party ready at the guild. I entered the guild hall and saw Rouge blushing and that girl again. And Frosche! "Frosche!" I ran to him, hugging him, "I'm so sorry." I apologized to Rouge and Frosche.
"This is Lydia. She found Frosche wandering alone. Frosche wanted to find the guild on his own, so she just protected him along the way." Rouge explained.
"Thank you, Lydia. If anything had happened to Frosche I never would have forgiven myself. My name is Juliet." I introduced myself.
"It's nice to meet you." she said and then her and Rouge continued to talk amongst themselves.
How cute, I thought with a smile. The sun was setting beautifully outside and it was time for me to get ready for bed.
As I entered my room, I noticed a tear rolling down my face. I quickly wiped it away as I picked out my nightgown and underwear, and grabbed a towel. I went into my personal bathroom and began to run the hot water.
