Last Chapter:
"Wait for me for me!" Called August, chasing after them. Just a little farther to the safety of the apartment. He could speak freely there, or more freely at least.

Kazi ran through the door and jumped onto the couch suffocating himself in the pillows.
"Home sweet home," Violet said sarcastically. Then she turned to her comrades. "Any thing that we need to address?" Her eyes bore into Topaz and August.
"It was a very interesting day," Topaz said in August direction.
"I guess I may have sort of kind of used my magic in front of Natsu." August confessed.
Kazi stared at the trio confused,"Did I miss something?"
Violet looked sympathetic. "You know how August has been hiding his magic since forever?" she said.
"Mhmm," Kazi murmured a cookie in his mouth.
"Well, he chose now of all times to reveal it!" She yelled.
"Look, Vi, I wasn't…" August trailed off.
"I hate it when you call me that," Violet sighed, losing all her anger. "I just hope that it doesn't effect the mission, for all our sakes."
"Me too,"said Topaz fully agreeing with her friend.
"We should get to bed." August said. "The mission officially starts tomorrow."
"And we are the ones to dive head first into the action," Topaz sighed heading into her room. Violet followed closing the door behind them.
Kazi closed the door behind him and August waiting for him to turn off the lights and darkness consume him. This whole mission seemed like one big mess. Everything just seemed to be piling up. And he was worried for his sister and Violet on their mission tomorrow."But it's not like I should be worried about either of them." He questioned himself."though topaz has been through some things this week." He shifted his position in his bed. He started to worry, about his sister, his friend.
His family. He hit his hand on his head," Stupid don't go thinking like that sappy stuff. I don't need that now." He stared at his wall," I know my sister and Violet are going to be okay so I shouldn't worry." He tried to reassure himself, trying not to picture any of the outcomes that could happen tomorrow. He especially didn't want to think about the bad things that could happen. Kazi rolled over and saw the time on his clock.
"It's already 3:00 am!" He internally screamed getting under the covers and soon fell asleep.
"What will it be today?" Mira asked the group of four at breakfast the next morning.
"2 eggs and a glass of water," Topaz said gesturing to her and a half asleep Kazi.
"Okay, and for you?" Mira looked to August.
"Eggs for me too," August said "i'm starved."
"Mmkay," Mira nodded, "Violet?"
"Um, no thanks," said Violet, "I"m not hungry."
"Okay then," Mira smiled, "I'll have it out in no time." She disappeared behind the counter.
"Ugh," Kazi groaned as he silently fell off the stool and laid on the floor eyes still shut.
"How late did he stay up?" Wondered Violet.
"I don't know," Topaz said looking at her brother lying on the floor,"He does get like this sometimes though."
"Well, at least we don't have to babysit him," Violet attempted to keep things light. "We're leaving thatto August." Violet's stomach twisted; she knew she would much rather do anything but this mission, and everyone else knew it to.
"Hey Violet where is the mission at again?" Topaz asked twisting her head to look at Violet.
"Mt. Hakubai," Violet answered, pulling the job flyer out of her pocket. "You can look it over if you want."
Topaz grabbed the flyer,"Thanks."
"No problem," Violet said. She had read it so many time she practically had it memorized.
"What time do you think we should go?" Topaz asked still gazing down at the paper in her hands.
"As soon as we can," Violet said, lowering her voice "I want to get this over with."
"Yeah," mumbled Topaz in agreement.
"Foods here!" Called August, searching for anything that would lighten the mood.
"Enjoy!" Mira said as she distributed plates of eggs.
"Yesssss," Kazi said peeling himself from the floor and into his chair, and started to eat.
Violet glanced over her shoulder, Gajeel and Natsu were walking towards them. "Here we go," she said, looking to Topaz.
"Yup,"Topaz said hopping off her stool.
"Mornin'" said Gajeel casualty. "You guys ready to see how a real dragon slayer does a job?"
"Yeah we're going to crush the monster right happy!" Natsu yelled to his friend
"Aye!" Happy yelled back.
"How soon do you guys want to leave?" Violet asked, standing up.
"How 'bout now," Natsu suggested.
"Yeah!" Added Gajeel " I can take on Salamander anytime!"
"You wanna fight, iron head!" Natsu yelled.
"And what if I do?" Gajeel challenged, "what are you gonna do about it?"
"This!" Natsu yelled punching Gajeel in the face.
"Alright that's it!" Gajeel gave Natsu a punch of his own.
"Uhhh," Topaz murmured as she watched Gajeel and Natsu slam each other all over the guild hall.
"They are smiling," Violet noted quietly.
"Yeah cause they're all crazy," whispered Topaz smiling herself.
"Mabey," said Violet thoughtfully. "Hey!" She yelled across the room. "Are we going on this job or not?"
"Oh, yeah." Natsu said, forgetting about fighting Gajeel and walked over to Violet and Topaz.
"You guys need to do anything before we go?" Violet said, this was the last time these two idiots were going to see most of their comrades. She hoped that they would at least say goodbye.
"Hey Lucy were leaving now, see you later!" Natsu called to the blonde at the bar drinking a strawberry smoothie.
"Don't die!" Lucy joked.
"See ya levy," Gajeel called.
"Have fun," she answered from behind a book.
"Okay let's go." Natsu said starting out the door, topaz started to follow.
Violet took one last look at the lively and happy guild hall. How much grief would they be in when she returned? She looked at the emblem on her arm, and wished she could cut it out. In about an hour the only thing she would be to Fairy Tail was a murdering traitor, even though they didn't know it. She did, and the was what really counted. She pulled her sleeve down to cover the make of the guild she longed to truly belong in and followed Topaz out the door.
"It sure is cold up here." Topaz said looking at the mountains around her.
"Well it is a mountain." Violet remarked, "it's-" she froze staring in front of them. A large yeti like beast blocked the path. The yeti stepped almost crushing Natsu, and let out a huge roar.
"We found it." Said Gajeel stupidly.
"Aye!" Happy said from behind Natsu.
" I'm fired up now!" Natsu yelled as he charged the beast with flaming fists.
"Time to kick some monster butt!" remarked Gajeel, agreeing with Natsu for once.
"Shall we join them?" Topaz smirked glancing over to Violet.
"We can spare a little time!" said Violet, she might as well fight alongside Fairy Tail while she still could.
Topaz shrugged and returned her gaze to the destruction the two dragon slayers were causing.
Violet took a deep breath, it felt like forever since she used her magic. "Hush a bye, don't you cry." she sang. Silver tongue may be a banned magic because of it's side effects, but it was super effective.
"Water dragon wing attack!" Topaz yelled jumping at the beast. Honestly even though she went on a job recently she felt really rusty.
Between Violet's sleep spell and Topaz's strike the monster was losing it's balance.
"Now?" Topaz whispered to Violet after she had landed on the ground.
"Right," Violet noded, it was time to stop pretending and do what she really came here for. "I'll get it to throw us over there." she said, suddenly pointing to some trees. "Come and get me!" Violet sang childishly, the monster turned and sent both of them flying with the back of it's hand. The landing wasn't pretty, but at least there was some undergrowth to cover them.
"Topaz, Violet!" Natsu yelled glancing the way they went flying.
"We can help them after we beat Him into the ground," said Gajeel, hoping the girls were okay.
"Here," Topaz said handing Violet a mask and cloak from some undergrowth, then reaching back for her own.
"Thanks," Violet whispered, slipping the cloak over her head and tying the mask tight. Goodbye Natsu. She thought, wishing he knew how much she meant it. I'm sorry.
"Their almost done with the monster," Topaz said trying to concentrate on her listening.
"Time to start this thing," Violet said solemnly, preparing to kill yet again.
Back at Fairy Tail
"I have a bad feeling about those four new members, and the two who went with Natsu and Gajeel." Laxus said starting at August and Kazi.
"You mean August and Topaz?" Said Gray.
"I mean all four."Laxus said," and why did they want to go with Gajeel and Natsu."
"It is kind of odd now that I think about it." Gray considered.
"Also how they acted strange when Lucy mentioned assassins when August and Topaz went on that job with Natsu, I don't know if they came just because they wanted to join the guild." Laxus continued
Gray's eyes widened, "you don't think they…" He trailed off.
"... I do." Laxus hesitated," and I think those two could use our help." Laxus started to walk to the door not caring if gray followed or not.
"Couldn't hurt to try,I guess," gray muttered to himself. "Wait for me!" He called as he followed Laxus outside.
