Lucy's POV:
Wrath just froze, he didn't move at all. He just sat there staring at the wall for a few minutes in horror. All of us were doing the same, none of us had expected she'd do that. But apparently Wrath did. But Wrath was just as shocked, I think he thought that he could get to her before she did whatever she had been planning.
I grabbed Taurus' key and said, "I can summon Taurus, this wall wouldn't be a problem for him!" Natus smiled at me and nodded, "Yeah! We can go help Mayhem!" I grinned and started to swing the key, but Wrath's clawed hand grabbed mine and stopped me. "Don't." He said quietly, "The tunnel's walls are too unstable. If your bull spirit was to knock this wall down, he would knock down the entire system. Mayhem took a risk knocking this down, but she did it because she knew that if she tried to fight the wolves, she would knock the ceiling down on us. So she probably ran. She's such a….."
He trailed off, sighing, before he began to walk away. "There's nothing we can do right now. Hopefully, she won't get herself killed so that I can kill her." We were silent as Wrath continued to walk.
Eventually, he sped up and spread his wings. As soon as he began to fly, he started going EXTREMLY fast. I yelped and grabbed Natsu (Who was in front of me) And I felt Gray wrap his arms around my waist. Erza was in front of Natsu so he grabbed her shoulders, Mira and Master were in front of all of us. So Erza grabbed Mira and Mira grabbed Master. Master made his arms giant and wrapped them around Wrath's neck so we could all stay on.
Wrath zipped around corners and dived through archways and kept flying. I had no clue where he was going, and why he wanted to get there so fast, but it was all I could do to hold on.
When we finally stopped, Wrath picked us up off his back and gently set us on our feet. Then he pointed with a clawed hand to the wall, there was writing carved into the stone. As soon as I read it, I covered my mouth in horror. It read, 'If you Fairy's have finally gotten smart, I suppose you'll track down your missing member to this place. Well, don't worry about darling little Wendy, or the grumpy Carla, they are both with me. I promise, we'll have SUCH fun! Nice try, but, I do enjoy ripping the wings off you stupid Fairy's. Perhaps a little too much for my health, but I do adore the screams Fairy's make.'
Wrath stomped his foot and a torrent of black fire was released from his mouth, coating the wall and burning a hole through it. As soon as he did, sunlight broke through. "Come." He ordered and began to walk through the hole. We paused for a moment before scrambling after him.
Once we were outside, I looked around at where we popped up. It looked extremely peaceful. Somehow, we had gone up and popped out at a cliff wall. We were in a meadow somewhere, and a cheery brook ran swiftly in front of us. Tree's towered above all of us and there were berry bushes everywhere. It seemed that this little peaceful place was surrounded by hedges and it kept the meadow solitary.
Wrath began dragging vines over the hole he had created, "Hopefully, that idiot charge of mine will be able to find us here. Once she gets here, we'll tell her what we saw, get her opinion on it, then, I'm certain this will be a fitting burial place for Mayhem." He said a little too cheerfully.
I sat down on a rock and watched him as he completely covered the hole with vines. After I couldn't see it anymore, he dragged several huge rocks over to it and built them up so that a wall was soon built.
Everyone else just walked around, inspecting everything. Gray had walked to the brook and was inspecting the water, Natsu was sneaking up on him, probably planning to push him in, Mira was sitting in the center of a flower patch gazing at the flowers, Erza was reequipping her swords and running her hand over the edges, and Master was sitting cross legged underneath a toadstool.
When Wrath was done with his wall, he nodded, satisfied, and slithered over to where I was sitting in the sun. "Wrath?" I asked, he lifted his head, "Yes Lucy?" He said, tilting his head. "Do you think that Mayhem is alright?" For a brief moment, I saw fear flash in his eyes. Fear, pure agony, and sadness. All in a flash before a look of arrogance crossed his face, "Oh course she's alright! She has to be! She's going to find us so that I can kill her for the stunt she pulled."
Then he got a look of determination on his face and nodded, "She's find." He murmured quietly, as though he was convincing himself rather than me, then said louder, "I'll go get firewood and berries for all of you to eat. I'll be back soon. Try not to let Erza kill Natsu and Gray, hmm?" Then he winked at me and soared into the sky.
I looked over to where Erza, Gray, and Natsu were to see that Erza was attempting to drown both boys while Happy was cheering her on. I sighed and stood up, I hope Wrath was right.

I scooted closer to the fire that Wrath had built and looked up at the stars. It was dark now, and we still hadn't gotten any sign of Mayhem. I had always loved the stars. My mother used to go stargazing with me a lot, before she started to get sick that is. She taught me all the constellations that she knew, and whenever the skies were clear, we would hike to a small hill with blankets and pillows, and just spend the night stargazing.
Maybe it was just because I was a Celestial Wizard, but I always felt better when I could see the stars. But tonight, they didn't give me much comfort. Worry for Wendy and the rest of my guildmates gnawed at my mind. And where was Mayhem? Was she alright?
I heard the grass near me shift and looked up to see Wrath had scooted closer to me, "You can use my wings as a blanket if you need to." He offered. I looked around the fire, everyone else was asleep already. I nodded and he wrapped one wing around me and pulled me closer to him, he was like Natsu, a furnace.
I cuddled in the warmth and asked, "Have you heard Mayhem anywhere?" After a moment of silence he shook his head, "No, not yet. I can't smell her either. But don't worry about that, Mayhem's extremely hard to kill. She's fine." I nodded and closed my eyes. Right before I fell asleep, I heard Wrath mutter, "Mayhem is fine." Again, I felt like he was convincing himself. Not me. Mayhem, please be alright.
