Everyone stared unbelievingly at what just had happened. Sakura had left to who knows where without telling anyone. Not even Mr. Rhino! Erza was worried about her sister. She knew that she was strong and that she was capable at beating almost anyone. No what worried her was that she had left in such a horrible state. And what did she mean by giving her permissions to go to her house?

Ever since Wendy, Carla, , and Sakura moved into a house that she had built somewhere in the woods. There has been many people trying to follow and visit them. The problem was that Sakura had many Security measures. She had runes to keep anyone out without her permission, shadow creatures to attack anyone, and the deadliest of all she had the thousand swords which could penetrate through anything. So far no one has been able to go.

Levy, Freed, Gajeel, Lucy and Natsu had tried to get there as a team. Freed, Lucy,and Levy wanted to go because of Sakura's immense library which was bigger than Levy's and the guild's combined, while Natsu and Gajeel wanted to go because they had heard that Mr. Rhino could cook marvelous things without magic. Levy and Freed were able to rearrange the runes, but almost did not make it with the shadow demons. After they had all passed them, the only one who was able to pass the swords was Gajeel, But what happened after none knows because it was erased from his brain when he was in a coma for a week.

"I think we should go now." said Carla as she pointed at the sleeping Wendy who had a dried tear in her eye. Erza went to pick her up to carry her to her home.

"Lead The way."

As , Carla and Erza walked with the sleeping Wendy in her arms, Erza got curious about her sister. Why did she tell her to go to her house? Is there something important that she had to see?

" Please don't think badly of Sakura. She has had a harder life then you know." said .

" I just want to know what is going on. I don't want to be left out in the dark." said Erza.

"Has it not come to you that she might be doing this to protect you?" said Mr. Rhino with a serious face. " We're here."

Sakura's house was a two-story Victorian style house in the middle of the forest. I was made out of what looked like white marble with red decorations. Erza could not believe that her sister had built this herself, but then again she had been surprised at almost everything that had to do with Sakura. The inside was very antique but simple. each room was decorated in a different color scheme. Erza was surprised that she had not seen any red considering that it was the color that her sister loved the most. Wendy's room was on the second floor. It was decorated to feel as though you were in the sky. The walls were baby blue and the furniture was white. All of Wendy's toys and belongings were organized neatly in the white shelves around the room. Carla's bed was standing right next to Wendy's bed and she decided to go to bed. Erza laid the sleeping Dragon Slayer on her bed and walked out the door with Mr. Rhino after wishing Carla good night. Mr. Rhino lead Erza to another room down the hall. Erza was confused why she was even here in the first place.

" You will find what Sakura wanted to show you inside of this room. When you are done, your room is right next to Wendy's. Goodnight." and with that he left to go to bed.

Erza quietly walked inside the room to find the color red attacking her from all different sides. In the room she could see a desk with a bunch of books stacked on top. In the corner of the desk she saw something that she did not expect. There sitting on top of a messy desk, was a family portrait of Erza's and Sakura's family.

A handsome muscular man with dark black eyes and red was dressed in deep black suit. He was not smiling and his eyes showed hatred and disgust. The woman sitting in the middle of the portrait was smiling and but showed tiredness and fear in her eyes. She had dark brown eyes and long purple hair. She looked like a grown up version of Erza. She was wearing a green dress with a gemmed tiara with gloves. She seemed to be watching the two little girls on the floor. Erza almost cried when she saw herself in the picture. She was wearing a purple dress with her hair in a braid. What made her almost cry was that she was hugging a younger version of Sakura who had her hair up in pigtail and was wearing a red dress. They looked happy and cheerful as though nothing in the world would go wrong.
