Chapter 14:
Ashkar's POV
I went into Gramp's office to tell him that I was about to head out. I had brought my pack with me. It was quite light but I always packed light. I also couldn't afford to pack very heavy especially with the journey I had ahead of me.
" Are you sure that you want to go alone child?" Makarov asked me.
" I'm sure Master. I don't want anyone else getting hurt because of me. Besides, I will be perfectly fine by myself."
Makarov's POV
I felt sad to see a returning child leave again, but this time she may not return. That's what worried me the most. This child had been kicked out of Meiro Sonata and she had left Fairy Tail once. Everyone was sad to see her go. We have Lucy now and she is a great child. I wonder is Ashkar feels replaced by Lucy. She certainly acted like it. When Natsu introduced her to Lucy it was clear to anyone, the pain that she felt.
At first I had an idea to send Team Natsu on a mission that would overlap with Ashkar's so that way they would stay and help her out. It was a good idea and it would help Ashkar open up again and maybe even confess her true feelings for Gray. Hehehehehehehe
Natsu's POV:
" I want to go on a mission! I want to fight! It's so boring just sitting here doing nothing! Let's go! PLEASE!" I knew that I was acting like a spoiled child but somehow it managed to work on Lucy. She was always able to give in. I don't know how I do it.
"Fine Natsu! Go choose the job that you want. Do you want Erza and Gray to come along as well?"
"Sure. Although I'm not sure about Ice Princess."
" What did you call me Fire-Breath!?"
Whoops, I hadn't realized that he was here. Just when I was about retaliate, Gramps called us up and told us that he had a mission for us to do. Well at least we were going on a mission.
Lucy's POV:
Natsu is so annoying! I want to take a break from all the missions but he always has to insist on going on another one. This time I'm going to say no for sure. I won't let him get to me this time. But one look at him, all my willpower crumbles.
" Fine Natsu! Go choose the job that you want. do you want Erza and Gray to come along as well?" I did not want to go on a job alone with Natsu again, especially after the last mission.
" Sure. Although I'm not sure about Ice Princess."
" What did you call me Fire-Breath!?"
I sighed and let the two of them be. They will soon get caught up in the fighting and then they will completely forget about the mission and then I won't have to go. I soon regretted that thought because Master called us up to and told us that there was a mission for us to do. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I slowly trudged up the steps to meet master. I really was hoping for a break from all the fighting that we had been doing.
Normal POV:
Master had told Team Natsu to take a job far away that required their skills. But they didn't know that Makarov had sent them straight towards their old friend Ashkar. Makarov had previously asked the first master, Mavis where Ashkar would be if he sent Team Natsu today. She said that they would meet at the same time and the same place assuming Ashkar's pace and when she would take breaks. They didn't call Mavis the Fairy Tactician for nothing.
Natsu's POV:
I don't know why gramps sent us on that mission. He had this weird look on his face, like he was planning something. Oh well! I'M ALL FIRED UP! Wait I take that back….we have to travel on a train….I'm starting to feel a little queasy…!
Ashkar's POV:
I bought some food and a couple of bottles of water once I left the guild. I didn't want to get them at the guild because they would be suspicious and if they found out i'm going on a mission, they would want to come with me and I would be in deep trouble. I ran quickly so I could get away from the guild and Magnolia fast. I didn't want to stay here anymore. This place brings back memories that I want to forget. I ran down an alley and into the open fields. It was a beautiful day outside but I had no time to enjoy it. Lives were on stake, and they were ones that I cared most about. Nobody would get hurt on my watch and if I could help it, nobody would ever find out who I truly am. I kept running because I had no time to waste. Every minute was precious.
