Okay! PLEASE READ THIS!
I was in a doubt to continue for today because I didn't have a clue on what to write. However I finally made a decision and this will be going into the Tartarus arc! So this means:
SPOILERS AHEAD if you are not aware of the manga.
I'm not going to put any details in this chapter but I'm working my way towards it, thank you very much!
Which means that you can read this chapter spoiler free. If you have read the Manga you might get an idea of where I'm heading. I just wanted to warn you. When the real spoilers are coming I will mark it big on top of the chapter.

Ps. I'm sorry for the small chapter. I'm really busy with school. Next week I promise will be better and bigger.


Chapter 9: a Journey to the Magic Library

I was on a bridge, sitting on it actually, with my back against the side. I was bruised, bleeding and hurt but it was nothing compared with the relieved feeling that Sting Eucliffe had sort of forgiven me for being someone else. I should have told him, the moment I thought it was good enough to tell Sting that Emilia didn't exist. I should have done that. Of course I had not.
Luck was not my lucky element. No that probably was anger.
Sting was still sitting opposite me, he had collapsed before but he was in one way better off than I. On the other hand he was not. He had lost the last tag battle against my fellow guild members and because of that, Minerva and his Master had hurt his exceed called Lector and Sting had no idea where he was.
I tried to get this all in my mind. I had no idea how Sting could still grin while talking to me. Or was this all an act? Suddenly he got up. "I need to go back. Rogue needs me." He offered me his hand and when I accepted he pulled me up. "Are you going to stay in Sabertooth?" I asked worried. "I have to. I cannot leave my friends. I understand what you meant Luka, really I do. I'm sorry for what we have done to Yukino." Suddenly he smiled again, it reminded me of the goofy smile of Natsu. "You are not all bad Luka Scarlet. I think I like you." I could only smile back. "I support you Sting. I hope you get Lector back, save and sound." His smile vaporised very fast and he nodded. He gave me a last soft touch on the upper arm before he walked away. I kept looking as he continued his way back to the Inn of his Guild, he never looked back.

I didn't know the exact time when I headed back to the Inn but everyone was celebrating at the pub close by. Fairy Tail stood at the top of the list. For now we were ranked number one in whole Fiore. I found Bisca who helped me along with cleaning my new wounds and took care of new bandaged. "You are still too adventurous.", "I'm only twenty-four. I can do that kind of stuff." Since my return so much has happened and I didn't have time to hang out with Bisca or Lisanna, leave out Juvia. The first few days of my return I happened to act that I wasn't a member. Was it only four days ago that I returned? No way? Only a week? It felt so normal to be with the people that I loved.
I didn't feel like crying but I must admit that I was on the edge. I was glad that Bisca didn't mention anything about it. I told her what Sting told me and I told her the feeling that Natsu had given me.
I stopped halfway my story. "That's what I have to do." I had said to Lahar that I would give up on this quest, but it didn't feel right. Members of Fairy Tail never gave up. Sting said that Weisslogia was dead but how could he give me the vibe of a Dragon. It must be something else than this Third Generation of Dragon Slayers. "I need to go to the library." Bisca raised her eyebrow at me. "I need to go to the Magic Library. It might hold an answer that I overlooked." This could not be true. What I have come to realise, it must be pure nonsense but it was my only lead. "When will you leave?" Bisca asked surprised. "Tomorrow morning." I hurried back to the Inn with Bisca on my heels. I had to tell Erza what my plan was. I had to inform Lahar, Jellal, Sting and my friends here. I stopped in my tracks and Bisca almost bumped into me. Which wouldn't be good for my back. "What's wrong?" She asked and I shook my head. "Nothing is wrong. I just know that Laxus wouldn't be happy." I sighed and knocked on the door to my sister. She was the only one in the room. "Where are the others?" I asked but she shrugged and told me she had no idea. While I explained to her what came to my mind, I scanned the earth surface for Jellal until..
"What was that?" I almost felt something like an earthquake. "I didn't feel anything?" Erza and Bisca looked at me with a worried, older-sister-look. I felt something coming from the earth. The feeling that I recognised as the Dragon's Essence. I had felt it with Sting and Rogue, with Natsu during the tag battle and right now I felt it again. But it was not one of those three boys. I felt the power of Wendy. I almost crashed into one of the beds. This was making things more confusing than ever. "Okay tomorrow I will leave for the Magic Library." Erza looked sad. I knew why because she would probably come with me if there wasn't such a thing as the Grand Magic Games.

A couple of minutes later I sat at a desk in the Inn. I wrote a letter to Lahar, to Sting, to Master. When I was done I traced down Happy, Lily and Charla and each of them I handed a letter. "I'm going to miss you guys again." I smiled, so far not crying. I headed out to find Jellal, Meredy and Ultear. It was quite easy because I knew their essence. Though it was quite a walk, and I didn't feel like seeing Jellal, not after what he did last time I saw him. This afternoon.
Meredy was the first one who looked at me and smiled. "We have found some answers." She said but Ultear held up her hand. "It is not of Luka her concern. We cannot tell. Jellal promised." This actually flared up my temper, Ultear was always the one who understood. I looked at her and I tried to keep my face blank. She looked sad. "What are you here for?", "I am leaving. I'm going to the Magical Library. I think I have an idea about the Dragons. Or I must check if my idea is right. If it is possible." Ultear nodded and thanks to her I could totally ignore Jellal. "So you are not going to tell me what happened?" Ultear shook her head. "It is a problem with time. You will understand once it is going to happen." I nodded and turned around. "Don't leave without saying goodbye." Meredy said and I hugged her. I hugged Ultear and left after that.
The worst was yet to come: Laxus.
We fought, I cried. He didn't understand why I had to go now, he wanted to come with but couldn't leave his team. He was right but I couldn't stay here doing nothing. He understood. I stayed with him in his room but I couldn't sleep. I had so many things to think about. I had so many people to say goodbye to and things to pack. I had said goodbye Lisanna and Juvia. I couldn't find Team Natsu and Gajeel. I would find them in the morning. Bisca and Alzack would come with me together with Asuka. I was glad for some company. It made me feel like I didn't leave the guild again. Besides I was really fond of the three of them. It would be like old times.

The following morning I felt tired because of the lack of sleep but I also felt excited for doing something. I found Gray and Wendy downstairs. I wanted to ask Wendy what happened with her power but before I could, she demanded me to sit down. She told me the story of her Milky Way Power. How she summoned the spirit of the Jade Dragon Zirconis because of the Dragon Bones underneath the arena. Together with Gray they told me the story of the Dragon King. "That is Acnologia." I was flabbergasted. "He was a Dragon Slayer but thanks to his Magic, he turned into a Dragon." The bells in my head started to tingle yet again. This is why I had to go to the Library. However Gray told me what happened after that, what the knight had said about Zeref. Maybe my way was not that far from what Jellal was trying to do. "I have to go." I said goodbye to the two of them. Than to Natsu, Mirajane, Levy. "Where is Lucy?" Natsu seemed to get angry and told me that she was captured and kept in a prison in the Palace. "I'm going to save her." He said and I believed him. "I wish that I could help but believe me. I have to go for the sake of Igneel." He nodded and I gave him a high five.

I wondered if Sting had read my message. I wondered what Lahar was thinking and Master. Because I didn't see the two of them at the end of the city. Laxus walked with the three of us but he had to leave us at the end of Capital. He kissed me and I tried to be brave and not cry. I suddenly had a feeling that it would happen all over again. I would lose my friends again and again. Including my sister, I would never see them again. Slowly I shook my head while I followed Alzack and Bisca. That was ridiculous. I was on my way to find the Dragons, they would be here in Crocus. I could be back tomorrow afternoon, if we could walk so fast and find the information I needed as soon as possible. Hopefully just in time to see the end of the battle. Fairy Tail winning but Sting getting Lector back. I could only hope. Still I had a bad feeling about this. Something might go wrong.

I only had to hurry.
