Chapter 10

{I have no school today, because it's my summer break. So I'm making two chapters in one day, just for you guys. And I have nothing else better to do! Tell me how you like this next chapter; now let's see what will happen to the Winged Hearts group!} :D

Cole POV

I don't like Fairy Tail. Even if she did go there, I still hate it. Okay so we were fight a group when all of a sudden this brown haired woman stares at me, I realized that she was turning me to stone. I say that is unfair. I could have beat up that Elfman freak in a split second if it weren't for that lady.

Right now we are in a court room, and I'm really bored. Staring at a talking frog, well it was kind of yelling at us for something, is not as fun as it sounds. But when the frog said, "Well you will be staying with Fairy Tail for a while; we do not have enough guards to watch over you at the moment." Now the frog has my attention. I stare at the frog then look over at… Spirit, as we call her now. Her head was down her hands hidden under the cloak, but I know she was fumbling with her fingers.

I frown and whispered, "I don't need a babysitter…"

Makarov POV

"Thank you for bring them back and arresting them, Makarov." Lahar thanked me. I nod my head and say, "It wasn't a problem." Lahar bows, and then lifts his head up "We have one last favor to ask of you." I look at him confused. "We do not have enough guards to look after the prisoners right now. And we would like it if you look over them until we get our guards back." My eyes widened when Lahar asked us to take the Winged Hearts guild for a while. Even though it won't be that long, Fairy Tail won't like babysitting them. I nod and say, "Of course we can take them." Lahar smiles and says, "Thank you Makarov. You are a life saver." He bows once again and walks away to get the group.

I smile shyly and I walk to the group of Fairy Tail. I will have to tell them that we will be taking care of the Winged Hearts guild. I cleared my throat and all eyes are on me. I take a deep breath and say, "The Council, at the moment, does not have enough guards to look over the Winged Hearts guild. And they need someone to look after them, so they asked us to take care of them for a while. Until they have enough guards." They all fell silent. I stared at them waiting for a reaction, "Why do we have to take care of them? Can't someone else babysit them?" Natsu whined, I opened my mouth to answer him but Erza interrupted me, "Natsu, stop pouting. It's not like we are fighting anyone, if they don't have enough guards then they don't have enough guards." Erza glared at him, and surprisingly Natsu glared back. I sighed wishing that the old Natsu would just come back. We all missed him.

Someone cleared their throat behind me. I look over my shoulder to see Lahar and beside him Cole, Malinda, Lilian, Blacksmith, Draco, and 'The Masked Spirit'. Lahar looked at me and said, "Here they are, thank you again for taking them. We appreciate it." He bowed and left, I waved my hand smiling shyly. I look to the Winged Heart group. Coles arms were crossed, Blacksmith was glaring at me, Draco was holding 'The Masked Spirits' hand (how cute), 'The Masked Spirit' had her head to the grown, Lilian also had her arms crossed, and Malinda was staring at 'The Masked Spirit' with… worry in her eyes?

"How about we go back to the guild." Everyone nodded their head and started to make our way to the train station. When we got to the station I glance over at Natsu, he was whining to Erza saying he did not want to go on that train. I smile and I hear a giggle from beside me. I look to where it came from and it was… 'The Masked Spirit'? She was looking at Natsu and Draco smiled and the pinked haired freak. I shook it off and got on the train, when the train started I see Natsu with a green face in the booth beside mine. But Wendy was in the other train cart so she couldn't cast her spell on him. Poor kid.

The Masked Spirit POV

I stare at Natsu who was in front of me in the train. His face was all green; I forgot that he has motion sickness. Erza was next to me and Cole was next to Natsu. Cole was staring at Natsu then to me then to Natsu. Erza said, "He has motion sickness. Hey Natsu, do you want me to knock you out?" Erza asked with her fist in front of her, Natsu's eyes opened immediately and shook his head 'no'. Cole smirks, Erza laughs, and I giggle. Of course I had to giggle because Erza looked at me. Then she says, "I don't think I have ever heard you laugh before." Cole looks at me then to Erza and says, "Well everyone laughs. It's not like no one ever smiles once and awhile." He said while smiling. Erza stared at him with wide eyes. I bet she didn't expect that to come out of his mouth. I smile at him even if he can't see it, I appreciated that he said that. He always knows how to make others smile. Natsu was also staring at him, and then I hear someone say from behind me "Oh Cole, you are such a sweet heart." I look up to see Malinda looking over at our booth. Cole blushes and crosses his arms with a frown, me and Malinda laugh at him.

Erza sits back with her eyes closed, arms crossed, and a smile on her face. But Natsu was still staring from shock at him; Cole looks over at him and turns even redder. "What are you staring at?" He asks embarrassed. Then from behind, Cole was pat on the head. Cole frowns more than says, "Lilian, if you tough me again I'll cut your arm off." I hear giggles and Lilian has her arms wrapped around his head, hugging him from the booth behind him. "Hehe, you're funny when you're all flustered, Cole." And, of course, Cole blushes even more and slaps her arms away. He sits back down and frowns, and I roll my eyes at him. I close my eyes to try and take a nap.

I woke up to someone shaking me; it was Cole trying to wake me up. "We're here!" He says, I yawn and follow him outside. Magnolia hasn't changed one bit. My hand was tugged and I look down to see Draco holding my hand. Even if she acts like an adult she is still a child and she is shy around strangers, she hates new places and she seems to like to hold my hand when she meets new people or is in a new place. Hehe, she can be soooooooo cute sometimes.

We start to walk to the guild, and when we get there all we do is just sit down at the bar. Malinda ordered a margarita, Draco ordered a lemonade, Blacksmith ordered… beer, Cole ordered water, Lilian ordered an ice tea, and I ordered a strawberry smoothie. Mira looked at me, and nodded her head. I stared at her, she didn't even smile. I missed her smile… then I bowed my head. I think I know the reason why…

"Are you okay, Spirit?" I hear Draco ask from beside me. I nod my head 'yes'. She frowns not convinced, and says "I don't believe you… tell me what's wrong?" She said, I nodded my head 'no' then she opened her mouth but Mira came back with the drinks. I stare at my smoothie, not wanting it any more. Now Cole and Lilian are staring at me, then Malinda and Blacksmith stare too. I lift my head up and look behind me at Fairy Tail, to only see a different guild. They changed so much that it doesn't even look like the old Fairy Tail. I lower my head again and turn back around to the bar. My group was still staring at me, I glance at them. Tears were falling onto my mask and going through the eye wholes, now they could tell that I was crying. Cole stood up and grabbed my arm and dragged me out side. Draco was behinds us, but the others stayed at the bar, knowing to leave us alone for a while.

Draco POV

I knew she would cry, we all did. They of course made us go with Fairy Tail, and to be honest I didn't want to be here. Cole dragged Spirit out the guild doors, I look around the guild to find them staring at us. I say, "One moment, please." Then I walk out and I see Cole embracing Spirit, she had her mask off and was bawling on his shoulder. I go up behind her and hug her from behind; I know what she is going through. All of her spirits know what she is going through right now; she is hurt, lost, and most of all, lonely.

"I think you need to see something…" Cole said to Spirit, he grabbed her hand and I followed behind them. Cole led us to a grave site; I lower my head knowing what he was going to show her. He starts to walk up a path and at the end of the path you could see a huge statue of an angel, at the bottom of the angel was a grave stone. And you could see the words on the tomb stone, Spirit falls on her knees in front of the grave bawling in her hands, Cole stared at the grave tears also falling down his face, and I watch Spirit as I cry too. The grave was surrounded by flowers, candles, notes, and books. Hmmm, she did love books…

I guess they really do miss her…

Happy POV

I had no idea what was happening, Cole dragged 'The Masked Spirit' out the doors, then Draco say, "One moment, please." Really I was confused. Natsu looks at me and says "Can you see and follow them. Can't let them out of our site." I nod my head and spread my wings and follow the group. But the strange thing is that they are at a grave yard. I know because I am always here, then they walk up to the grave and I could not believe my eyes. They were at Lucy's grave, I was angry. If they plan on doing something to her grave then they will be beat up by a pissed off Happy.

I fly down to her grave to only be shocked when 'The Masked Spirit', well she has her mask in her hands so she wasn't really 'The Masked Spirit' anymore, but she breaks down and cries. Then I see Cole crying also… oh I almost forgot that he knew Lucy. Maybe 'The Masked Spirit' knew her as well. Then I see Draco with tears running down her face. I knew she didn't know Lucy because she never had her key.

I was standing behind the group when I asked, "Why are you here?" Cole and Draco look at me with huge eyes they didn't notice me here I guess, and then I see 'The Masked Spirit' turn her head and that was when I saw her face. A face I haven't seen in months. A face I missed dearly, a face I thought was died.

Tears fell from my face when she stared at me, she too was crying. I start to walk then run to her, never have I been so happy in my life. I smile a huge grin, tears running down my face. I called her name when I reached her hugging her never wanting to let her go. I thought it was a dream; I didn't want it to be a dream. But it was real, she was real.

{Opps I did it again! Hehe I bet you already know who 'The Masked Spirit' is already. But what if it wasn't her :O You never know… I guess you have to find out when I finish the story. Please tell me how you like the story so far! Don't forget to review!} :D
