A/N: OMG! I know that it's been sooooo loooooong since I haven't updated. I'm really sorry. I just started to become really busy. Next next week is the start of school. I had to enroll, buy my things, and I'm a member of this club in my community, and we're kind of planning for a final outing this summer since we're going to be super busy in our own schools. Well it's not just an outing actually. We're going to spearhead a 3-day "summer camp" for other kids and we are lacking funds so were soliciting and we cleaned the camp and prepared it and we shopped for food and we etc. etc. You get the point. I was super busy I wasn't able to use the computer for a week. But I made it. I made a new chapter. And BTW I just wanted to try a new POV. Sorry if it's crappy again...but still I hope you'll enjoy it. It will be just shorter than usual, though. But still I did my best to make it good. So introducing... (drumroll pls.) the POV of... Belle =) Bwahahah

Chapter 8: three words and another note

It's been a week since I've been going out with Gray. It's also been a week since the letters started to come. And it's been a week since students in Fairy Tail were hurt one by one. The letters contain warnings of who will be next and when. But I have no idea who sent them. I only told Gray about it. But I'm sure it's the Phantom students – Juvia and Gajeel. I don't even know what came in the mind of our principal that made him accept such students. But somehow, I don't have any evidence. And besides, I'm becoming a little suspicious of Gray. Juvia said that she found the pen of Gray where she was supposed to be hit. Was she telling the truth? No way, she was just setting my boyfriend up. I sighed and tried to remove my problems out of my mind. I applied my lip gloss and checked my look one last time and hurried back to the classroom to get my bag and tried to think of something good that is going to happen. Well, Gray agreed to go out on Friday night. My friends and I are going out on Saturday and... Actually I had I fight with Amy. She said I was too bossy and that she was prettier than me and her stupid muscular boyfriend was better looking than Gray and that... STOP. I'm supposed to be forgetting about my problems. But the moment I was in the classroom and opened my bag, there was the letter I was expecting. Another problem. I looked at my classmates but they were busy chatting with each other as they left the room for break. I made sure no one else can see the letter. Oh, who is it this time and when will it happen? I opened the letter carefully. At first I was shocked. It was impossible. So my guess was wrong. But a smile crawled in my face. The note only contained three words. Three words enough to make my day: Juvia Lockser – Friday.

I crumpled the note and stashed it in my bag. No way is Gray going to find out about that. I sighed and turned to close my bag but I saw, tucked in one of my notebooks, another note. Somehow the note made me very nervous. How come I received 2 letters today? Could it be that two people are in danger? The hopeful and evil part of me wished that the other one is Gajeel. I turned to open the note. I don't really know what to expect but definitely not this – my name... I scanned my surroundings. The room was empty. But I could imagine someone waiting for the perfect time to hurt me... Being alone in the room gave me the creeps. I slowly started to walk out and then rushed out and ran into the not-so-full-since-everyone-is-at-the-park-for-the-break corridor, and I spotted Gray. He was shocked when he saw me but then realized it was just me. Relieve flushed in me. I ran into his arms and cried, releasing my fear and nervousness. When I calmed down, he accompanied me outside to the park and found a spot perfect for speaking privately.

"You received a note?" He asked me.

"Two notes actually," I replied in a shaky voice.

"Who are the two?"

I realized that the note with my name on it was crumpled in my fists since I read it. I showed it to him. He was silent for a while but he comforted me. "Don't worry. I'll protect you. He held my hand but I was kind of irritated because he did it hesitantly. "Who's the other one?" He asked.

I remembered Juvia. I know Juvia likes Gray. I overheard Erza and the others about a dare to confess her true feelings to Gray. What if she steals Gray from me? No way. I couldn't risk that.

I looked at Gray and lied, "It just said that I'd better be extra careful specially you, because you could be hurt because I've been telling you about the letters."

"You don't have to worry about me," he replied but then he looked me in the eyes, 'Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course I am. Why would I lie to you?" I wanted and expected him to apologize for accusing me of lying. But instead of doing so, his ice cold stare didn't change.

"You better be," he said in the same cold voice, "because if someone else is hurt on the same day and you knew all about it coming..." I felt a shiver down my spine.

"...you and I are finished." With that he strode off and didn't look back.
