Lucy looked around at all of the shocked faces in the room and tried to sit up. Pushing herself up, but only to have her arms fail on her and she fell back down to the bed. Gajeel being the closest to her, moved to help her set up putting the pillow behind her to help support her.

"Lucy, I need to look at you. Please hold still and don't talk while I look you over, please." Wendy said.

While Lucy sat there looking at her mates, they could only wait for some good news from Wendy.

"Everything seems to be fine, but I'm putting you on bed rest for a week just until you recover you strength. You can move her back home where she will be more comfortable. But because we know how stubborn and independent Lucy is, someone will need to watch her to make sure she stays in bed unless she has to use the bathroom." Wendy said looking to her mates for some understanding.

"Virgo can help me to the bathroom, I've been feeling her wanting to help me do something. When can I leave?" Lucy asked.

"Now, or whenever your ready. Though I would suggest that Laxus teleports you because if the guild saw you now, you would never get to leave."

"Good idea, I'm ready to go Laxus." Lucy said hold her arms out to him.

Laxus smiled and walked over to her and scooped her up bridal style. As the other three mates walked over and linked arms with Lucy, they were gone. When they got to the house, Laxus instantly took Lucy to her room and pulled up a chair to sit and watch her. The other three mates also pulled up a chair and waited for her to say something.

"Sting, I heard you in the infirmary, but I have to be sure of the name of the spirit you said."

"Deneb the swan, why?" He asked confused.

Lucy sat there and thought back to when she was growing up. Sure enough she found a key in the garden when she was running around. Lucy was so lost in thought that she could see her mates talking to her but she never heard a word that they said.

"Virgo, could you please come here." Lucy asked pouring her magic into the key.

"Punishment princess?"

"No Virgo, would you mind helping me to the bathroom for a moment. I need to see if something is there."

"Yes princess" Virgo responded.

"Lucy, your not supposed to be up unless you have to use the restroom. Not to go look in the restroom, tell us what you are looking for and we can go find it." Sting said.

"Fine, then come with me. But you will want to stand back by the door when we get there." Lucy said.

She nodded to Virgo as she walked over and picked her up. When they got to the restroom, Virgo sat Lucy down in front of the mirror and watched as she filled the tub with water.

"Would Princess like to take a bath?"

"No Virgo, but you are dismissed for now. Thank You." Lucy said watching her spirit leave.

"Lucy, what are you doing?" Rogue asked.

"Just stay back, something Sting said got me thinking. Believe me, you don't want to get caught up in this."

The four dragon slayers watched as she pulled out a key and dipped it into the water and summoned Aquarius.

"You better have a good reason for pulling me from my date." Aquarius said.

"I have a reason, I just don't know if it's a good reason."

"Well let's hear it, then I will decide if you will go unpunished today."

"You never change do you. Do you mind if I sit down, I'm feeling a little weak right now."

"I suppose since you will be wanting to sit when I wash you down the hall."

"Thank you. Ok so remember when I used to call you out because I wanted someone to play with?"

"Yes, and do you remember that I told you not to call me out unless you are in trouble?"

"Yes I remember, but I'm not in trouble right now. When we were playing in the garden sprinklers that day, do you remember that key we found?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"My mom said that she hid a key for me to find, and that key was that of the swan. You were my mom's spirit so tell me, why did she hide the key?"

"To protect it until you understood the magic. It is as the swan said, you did throw her around as a toddler. You were really upset when the key went missing but moved on to playing with the doll your mom bought you."

"So I really did torture a spirit?"

"Yes, but you shouldn't let it bother you. You were only a toddler when this all happened. You were still learning right from wrong."

"That isn't an excuse Aquarius, thank you, you can get back to your date now. Tell Scorpio sorry for interrupting." Lucy said watching her leave.

Lucy sat there in disbelief that she tortured a spirit and forgot about it. No wonder why she was really upset with her. Lucy looked down and fell to the ground. Gajeel was the first one to move and picked her up.

"She's burning up, I'm going to take her back to her room. Sting could you bring her a cool washcloth. Rogue could you fix her some soup, and Laxus try to figure out what is going on."

As Gajeel carried her back to her room, he noticed that she was starting to shake. He looked down at her, saw fear in her eyes, and thought to ask what her problem was but didn't want to frighten her more. When he laid her down, she pulled him into the bed with her and cuddled into his chest. Gajeel didn't know what to do so he stroked her hair and back trying to calm her down. When her breathing evened out, Sting came back in with the washcloth and laid it gently on her head. Laxus was talking with Sting on what he knew of Celestial magic. The two figured that all silver keys have more than one key to the same kind of spirit.

Sting and Laxus sat by the trembling blonde waiting for her to wake up. Inside Lucy's mind, she was feeling the pain she had caused Deneb. All the hurt and betrayal from when Lucy threw her to the forgiveness of Layla. Lucy jolted up in bed with a hand over her hear, panting as little beads of sweat rolled down her face. She suddenly felt hands touch her so she slapped the hands away from her. Her eyes suddenly widen when she realized who it was she slapped. Rogue having heard that she was awake, put some soup into five bowls and carried it up to her room. When he walked in, he saw Lucy with her knees pulled to her chest while leaning over, crying into Gajeel's chest.

"What happened?" Rogue asked while putting the soup down on the desk.

"Blondie had a nightmare." Laxus replied.

"You're blonde too." Lucy said between sobs.

"There she is, my Blondie's back." Laxus said with a smirk.

"Do you want to talk about your dream Lucy?" Rogue asked pulling up a chair.

"If you don't mind, I would rather not." Lucy said.

"Here, you need to eat something. It might help with your dreams." Sting said.

"I'm not in the mood to eat, but thank you for trying."

"Can I get you anything?" Laxus asked.

"My keys, I need to have Capricorn do an errand for me."

"Is it anything we can help with?" Gajeel asked.

"Actually, you can. Just follow Capricorn's instructions. You will be looking for the key to Deneb. After my mom hid it in the garden and I found it a second time, my dad hid it somewhere in his office. My mom was furious but never found where he hid it. Capricorn knows this place better than anyone, and since he is a spirit, he will be able to pick up the keys presence."

"Sounds like a plan, now who do you want to stay with you?" Rogue asked.

"You all can help him; I'll be just fine on my own." Lucy said with a smile on her face.

"Oh no bunny, you heard Wendy. We all know that if we all leave, then you will be up walking around." Gajeel said.

"How about this, I promise to stay in bed." Lucy asked with a nervous laugh.

"That's not how it works Blondie. And since you won't choose, I will stay here because I'm the oldest." Laxus said.

"It's fine with me." Sting said followed by Rogue and Gajeel nodding their heads in approval.
