And now we become entranced by more memories…
Gray's POV
My mouth hung open ever so slightly as I soaked in all of the information.
It wasn't a while until I finally spoke.
"So, she's dead?" I asked, still in a state of disbelief.
"Most likely." Cana replied.
It was silent again.
My own memories began to wash over me…
Flashback
'CRASSHHH'
The collision knocked us both down onto the ground.
Once my vision cleared, I took a look at who I had bumped into.
It was girl. She had the most stunning amber eyes.
She was staring right at me but for a while I didn't notice that she was holding her hand out to me.
I was enchanted. Enchanted by those dazzling eyes. But I snapped out of my daze and took her hand.
"Sorry." We both said simultaneously. However, I knew the crash had been my fault. She was walking and I was running. I should have seen her there instead of hastily dashing towards the corner.
My head was throbbing and I was pretty sure hers was too, so when she burst into a tiny fit of laughter, I was bewildered. I'm guessing my expression was funny because she started laughing harder. But suddenly she stopped laughing and just smiled.
Once again, the girl held her hand out to me.
"My name is Cyra. What's yours?"
"Um, er, Gray. My name is Gray."
I shook her hand. Awkwardly, I asked, "I'm really sorry about running into you. Is there anything I can do for you?"
She paused for a moment to think. Then, she boldly grabbed my hand and pulled me to her side.
"Let's go for a walk, Gray!"
I was surprised, and she instantly started walking, dragging me behind her. I stumbled a bit before walking side by side with her, our strides matching each other.
"So what brings you to the guild?" I asked, in an attempt to start a conversation.
"Just visiting."
Her tone made me think she didn't want to continue talking about it, so I changed the subject.
"Um, do you just want to walk, or do you want to go anywhere?"
She stopped walking. We were on a bridge, crossing a small river. She climbed onto the edge and stood there. She extended her arms outs and tilted her body forward.
Then suddenly, she fell over the edge.
My heart skipped a beat.
I rushed to the edge and reached out. My hand barely caught her foot.
I pulled her backwards and I fell back onto the bridge. She landed on me, knocking the air out of my lungs.
I winced in pain.
"What the hell are you doing, baka!" I yelled with my eyes still closed. When I opened them again, my face was inches away from hers and she was sprawled out on top of me.
I blushed and she laughed.
"Now I know I can trust you." she said.
Before I could question her motives for falling off a bridge, she stood up, pulling me with her.
Then she hugged me.
Slowly, I wrapped my arms around her.
"I've always wanted a friend." She whispered. My eyes widened.
Cyra let go and stood in front of me. I stared at her and smirked.
"You're a weird one, aren't you?"
Her only response was a smile.
End of Flashback
With utter determination in my voice, I looked at Cana and without hesitation I said,
"Let's find her."
Cana's POV
Gray and I scoured the shelves for any information we could find on the light mage.
After several hours, I was becoming desperate. We hadn't discovered anything.
"I know!" exclaimed Gray, pounding his fist onto his palm.
"What?" I asked with excitement.
"Cyra once mentioned having a couple of siblings. Maybe we can find one of them!"
I frowned. She never told me I had more cousins, but she told Gray?
"But how are we going to find them?" I asked.
"The back of the note!"
"…"
"The day I got Kima, there was a note attached to her blanket. It was written on stationary from an apartment. If we can find out what apartment it's from, maybe we can find her siblings!"
I nodded.
As Gray scuffled around some more, researching this and reading that, I started to feel a smile make its way onto my face.
He's really into this. I guess I should be too.
But then I started to wonder- Do I really want to know?
What if there was reason she didn't want us to find out?
Or worse…
What if I really could have saved her from dying?
If I knew how she died, how would I feel?
How would Gray feel?
And what about…Kima?

I know, I know. It's a really short chapter, but these past few weeks plus the next couple weeks have been and will be very hectic. Shorter chapters, less updates. Yes, I know, it sucks. But please bear with me. Keep Reading and Please Review!
