Chapter 11

Sting walked back to the house and when he reached the front yard he noticed that the lights were still on. 'Is she still awake?' Sting asked himself. He advanced to the door and opened it. He searched the kitchen then the living room. He then found Lucy sleeping. He sighed and stared at her for a while. Realizing what he was doing he shook his head to reality. 'You idiot you're going to catch a cold.' Sting thought as he took his jacket off and placed it on Lucy. He yawned as he walked back to his room and fell on his bed. It was a long day for him so he had no problem dozing off.

In the morning, Lucy woke up with a warm feeling surrounding her. She lifted a jacket up and her eyes softened as she recognized the jacket. She sat up and neatly folded Sting's jacket and placed it on the couch with a slight pat. Lucy stood up then walked to the kitchen to make breakfast. In the corner of her eye, Lucy saw a note on the table. She picked it up and began reading it to herself.

Had to go somewhere. Be back sometime later. – Sting

Lucy crushed the note in her hand and threw it in the trash can. 'That guy should at least take a break once in a while.' Lucy thought. She then began making breakfast for herself or you could say feast. The cravings started. You could also compare Lucy's sense of smell with a dragon slayer.

After eating, Lucy dabbed her lips with a napkin to get rid of the crumbs from the toast she just ate. Before Lucy could reach out for another one there was a knocking on her door which was odd. Lucy hardly knew anyone around unless it was her neighbors who occasionally walked passed the house. Lucy stood up and pushed the chair in. She walked to the door with curiosity. Lucy gasped. 'What if it's a pervert? I should use something as a weapon.' Lucy thought as she began to look around. There was another knock at the door which caused Lucy to jump. With no choice and time, she grabbed an umbrella in the closet.

With extreme caution, Lucy reached out to the door knob and slowly twisted it. The door creaked a bit as she opened it. Lucy shut her eyes tight, lifted the umbrella and repeatedly began hitting the visitor.

"I don't know what you want, but leave before I call for help!" Lucy yelled as she still stuck the person with the umbrella, but it seemed like the person was blocking the attacks.

"I won't allow you to do that." The stranger said as they finally grabbed hold of the umbrella. Lucy couldn't lift the umbrella anymore even though she used most of her strength. She finally opened her eyes and lifter her head to see the shadow dragon slayer.

"R-Rogue?" Lucy stuttered. Realizing what she just did Lucy repeatedly bowed and apologized.

"You don't have to apologize I'm not dead." Rouge said. Noticing that it was snowing Lucy quickly invited Rogue and Frosch inside. Being the good hostess she is, Lucy began preparing tea for Rogue and warm milk for Frosch. "It's cleaner." Rogue commented.

"Fro thinks so too." Frosch agreed. Lucy smiled in victory as she overheard them. Lucy then served her guests their respective drinks.

"I'm sorry about before." Lucy said as she sat down on the couch across Rogue and Frosch.

"Like I said you don't have to apologize." Rogue said as he took his cup of tea in hand. He carefully blew the surface of the liquid and took a sip. Lucy watched him, but turned away realizing that he would think she was weirdo for watching drink tea. Frosch also started drinking his tea.

"Um. I don't mean to be rude, but why are you here?" Lucy asked. Rouge set the cup back down and crossed his arms.

"Sting sent me here to watch over you." Rogue said.

"I knew he had something to with it." Lucy said.

"You must be special to Sting. He normally doesn't ask me favors." Rogue said. Lucy's cheeks were tinted pink. 'Minerva also said the same thing. Why does Sting care about me anyway?' Lucy asked herself. Before her mind could go into deeper thought, Rogue spoke. "You're also probably wandering where Sting is." He said. Lucy gave her full attention to Rogue. She nodded. "I also don't know." Rogue said as he took another sip of his tea. Lucy's sweat dropped. 'Why bring it up then and when did you pick up the tea cup?' Lucy thought. Her expression became stern.

"You don't have to watch over me. I'm capable of taking care of myself." Lucy said.

"With the way you defended yourself against me I don't think you are." Rogue said. A vein popped on Lucy's head. 'This guy is getting on my nerves.' Lucy thought.

"When do you think Sting will be back?" Lucy asked.

"Possibly tomorrow." Rogue replied. 'Two days with this guy…I don't like the sound of that.' Lucy thought as she sighed. She knew that Rogue wasn't going to give up so she did.


Sting exited the Magnolia train station with Lector at his side. He looked around left to right. He scratched his head. 'Where was the guild at?' Sting asked himself. He took a few jobs near or in Magnolia before, but never knew where the Fairy Tail building was. As much as he didn't want to, Sting decided to ask the locals for directions.

"Sting." Lector said. Sting looked down at his feline companion.

"What?"

"Why are we here?" Lector asked.

"I have to do something here." Sting said.

"Did you forget something the last time we came here?" Lector questioned. The corner of Sting's lips inclined.

"I guess you could say that." Sting said as he started walking. Lector followed. Sting then grabbed a random pedestrian walking the opposite direction by the color. "Do you know where the Fairy Tail guild is?" Sting asked. The guy quickly became intimidated.

"O-On top of a hill th-that way." The guy said as he pointed in the west direction with a trembling arm.

"Thanks." Sting said as he released the man with a shove. With that over with, Sting began walking to Fairy Tail with Lector tailing behind. The exceed eyed Sting suspiciously.

After a ten minute walk the duo stood in front of the gates of Fairy Tail. Sting was surprised by the small building, but managed to shake it off. 'They were one of the weakest guilds.' Sting thought.

"Let's go Lector." Sting said.

AN: AH Snap! What is Sting going to do? I think it's predictable…is it? Anyway review if you want to!
