"Levy's gone! She just disappeared!"
Droy kept saying over and over but Jet had seen Gajeel and made straight for him. Jet used his speed to push Gajeel up against the bar.
"What did you do!"
Gajeel glared at Jet and pushed him away.
"I didn't do anything!"
"Like hell you didn't!"
Jet said, struggling to get out of hold that three guild mates had him in.
"I didn't, ask anyone I was here!"
"Maybe you got some old friends from Phantom Lord to do it."
Gajeel lunged at Jet and probably would have killed him if not for Alya sudden yell!
"STOP!" Gajeel froze midair, a victim of Alya's Sound Dragon Control. "What's the matter with you two! You're friend is missing and you're fighting amongst yourself!" Alya stood between the two men. "Gajeel didn't have anything to do with Levy's disappearance. You are going to have to trust me on this."
Alya released the Sound Dragons Control and Gajeel fell to the ground with a crash.
"Alya is correct." Every one turned to see Master Makarov walking through the doors. "Jet do not be so quick to accuse Gajeel." The Master tapped the three men holding Jet with his staff and the let him go. "We are a family, and family's fight,"
"We fight a lot."
Some one in the crowed muttered. The Master smiled.
"Yes we do. But for something like this, to be accusing each other of having something to do with Levy's disappearance, it is to much." Makarov walked up to Alya. "You heard her disappear correct?" Alya nodded. "What exactly did you hear?"
"Uh..um I...I can't really say."
Alya said looking down at her feet
"Does this have to do with that song thing?" Gajeel asked and Alya quickly looked up at Gajeel and back to her feet. "It does, doesn't it?"
"Uh..Maybe. I...I...I can't talk about it. I..."Alya took a deep breath. "I swore I wouldn't."
"So what! Simple words can't stop you from talking!"
Jet said.
"No just hold on one second. You said you swore, did you swear on your blood?" Makarov asked and Alya nodded. "Ah, a blood swear. That particular oath is nearly impossible to bypass. But not completely impossible."
Uta, who had gone back to his lizard form, flew up to the bar.
"I forbid it! My Master had her swear on her blood for a reason! She will not break her oath!"
"Uta! This isn't something for you to decide!"
Alya said, snapping at her companion.
"By Mistress..."
"Uta, this is my decision. I really think that I should do this."
"But I..." Uta started to say but stopped himself. "I shall follow your orders Mistress, and support you in what ever you decide."
Alya looked at her companion, her friend, and could tell just how against this he was.
"Thank you Uta." She said. "Master how do we go about bypassing the blood oath?"
"Well that depends on the wording. What exactly did you say?"
"Um...I don't remember exactly~~~"
"I swear on the blood in my veins, and by the blood that ran through the veins of my ancestors, not to tell of this secret to any who would use it for their own gain. I swear to only speak of it as seen fit by the only father I have ever known. Should I break this oath, may my blood stop its flow and may I drop dead where I stand."
Uta recited.
"That is a hefty thing for someone to have a child swear."
Mirajane said
"It was necessary."
"Hmm...Freed come here. Uta could you repeat that?"
Uta did and Freed wrote down what he said.
"See if you can't find a hidden clause in the wording."
"Yes Master."
Thirty minutes later and Freed still had not found any hidden clauses. Jet and Droy had put together a search party and almost half the guild was out in the surrounding woods looking for Levy, but no one had found even the smallest clue. Uta had convinced Alya to go back to their apartment with a promise that once they figure out how to break the oath they would call her. Wendy had come back and was currently sitting at the bar with Gajeel, but Natsu and Lucy still hadn't come back, and this caused everyone to worry.
"Don't worry I'm sure that Natsu wouldn't let anything happen to Lucy."
Erza said, reassuring Wendy.
"But you said that Levy disappeared Natsu wouldn't be able to stop that!"
"Don't worry Kid, I'm sure that the Punk and Bunny Girl are just fine."
Gajeel said downing his drink.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that?"
Alya was leaning against the door.
"What are you talking about?"
Erza asked as she helped Alya to a chair.
"I've been searching for the songs of any one who was in the guild when I came upon Natsu song, it's rather distinctive, and with it Lucy's. Everything seemed fine but then Lucy's song, it...it just disappeared!"
