I want to try and post more regular but I can't guarantee anything. Apart from barely having any inspiration to what I would do with the story, I'm very busy with moving and graduation lessons. Cuz you see I want to pass of course.

What I would like from you, my dear reader, if it's not too much to ask is a review and when you leave a review if you could put in what you would like Luka to do or what to happen. I can see if I can add it. I have a small idea but I haven't worked it out yet J

Chapter Fifteen: Brown Eyes

"What do you mean? Cordelia? The Earth Dragon?" Porlyusica couldn't believe what I have said and neither could I myself. How.. I haven't seen Cordelia in a long time, must be around fourteen years and now I suddenly mentioned that she is back and send me to the library. "Never mind. It can't be true."

However no one said anything. "You were looking for the Dragons, Luka. Maybe you did find Cordelia." Maybe, or maybe not. Something inside me, said that it was more difficult than it sounded. I had not found Cordelia, I'm pretty sure about that, I think Cordelia found me. "It had something to do with Acnologia." Was all I could say and I looked back at the woman that tried to save my eyes. "I'll meet you tomorrow." Was all she said.

I still had a memory loss and I still didn't know what I was about to do right now but I had to do something. So I stood up, I felt Erza her fingers brush on my right upper-arm. "Let's stop the sad mood, I'm alive. I'll get my memory back, let's party." It sounded like something Fairy Tail would do. And I was right. Downstairs it was already going on. Including Sting and this unknown guy that was with him that had to be Rogue. It was weird to not introduce myself for we have known each other before I lost my memories. I casually talked but I couldn't wait for Sting to be gone. After that kiss, it sure felt wrong. Besides I had the feeling he wasn't in love with me. It's hard to explain. Maybe he tried to trigger something. I don't know why but I thought he had a girlfriend called Emilia.

So Fairy Tail and Sting and Rogue partied for me. But not everyone was here, not Laxus. I stayed with Lisanna and Juvia because I didn't want to be close to Natsu Dragneel for unknown reason but Erza was with him. I still wondered how everyone looked but maybe Porlyusica could really save my eyes.

The next day I left early to go to the woman. I didn't feel like talking to anybody beforehand. She seemed to read my mood, which made her happy. She didn't like people much either. Leave alone: talking. "I'm sorry if it hurts." She said when she was done with whatever she was doing. Yes it did hurt but less then yesterday. "Three whole weeks?" I asked and she only could give me a yes. "With a bit of luck." She muttered but I wasn't sure if I should be able to hear that, if she had it directed for my ears. She must have known I was a Dragon Slayer. "After those three weeks. I'm going on a mission." I muttered just like her. I had to find the Dragons and apparently I had been very close. I had to set this into action. I had to get a company. There were already two in my mind and maybe a third. So I hurried back to the guild.

"I knew to talk to you three girls, alone." So I pushed them in front of me to another room, in the back of the Guild. They were all lousy complaining. "What's going on Luka?" Lisanna asked first when I put them in the room with myself. "I want to go on a mission after my eyes are done. I need to finish what the Council made me do. Which means find the Dragons. But I can't do it alone obviously. Someone is watching me and trying to kill me. Unlucky for that person: it didn't work." They didn't say anything, the thought of a murderer for me out there, was not what I wanted to mention but I had done it anyway. "I want you, Lisanna, Juvia and Bisca to come along with me, but only if you three want. I sure have room for Alzack but I'm not sure about Asuka. I thought about maybe Warren and Max too." But on one hand: I didn't want the group to be too big.

Yesterday Warren but especially Max had told me the relationship with the two of them. It had been a long story, in which my sister has gone missing and we all thought her dead. How I hang out with them because of Bisca her pregnancy. We had done a lot of missions together to get some money. I still couldn't remember them but Max and I should have been a good team since Max was a Sand mage and Warren had telepathy, which was a nice extra part. But I couldn't decide that right now. A team of six, nah it might be a better thing.

Day after day I went to Porlyusica and came back with a bad mood. It hurt a lot and I didn't have a feeling it became better. But I waited patiently, I had no idea about medicine or about the way Porlyusica worked so I shouldn't complain: yet. In this week that I was here I had not heard a word about this Laxus guy. I still got some weird vibes when I thought only about his name. He hasn't been in the Guild or not that I had noticed. It was of course in the second week that he came, when I still looked like a walking corpse. Although Porlyusica had put bandages over my eyes, which made it probably look better. I could feel that he wasn't really happy and he was with three others that weren't happy either. Probably their mission had been a tough one. "I heard she is back? Where is she?" I sat at the bar with Mirajane and Mira already pointed out where I was, I had no time to walk away. I could feel him through the ground that I was just touching with the tip of my toes. I preferred to walk on bare feet, so I could feel and well see better. His walk was harsh which pointed out his extra grumpy mood. He stopped beside me and I could feel his eyes over me. Apart from my eyes I looked better. No torn clothes and my hair has been taken care off, no more wounds, or scratches. Only the bandages. "Where were you? Why didn't you tell me where you were going, and what happened to you? To your eyes?" I knew Mirajane was still standing on the other side of the bar because of the feeling but also because she softly said an: "Eum… Laxus?" But he brushed her away, this was a conversation between the two of us. "For god's sake Laxus." Mirajane said angry, and you don't want to have her angry. It also doesn't happen very often to be honest, that I figured out already. "She has been gone for a long time and has been attacked by someone that obviously tried to kill her. Sting found her in the Library but she lost her memory. Give her some space." I couldn't help but let out a smile, I was grateful for Mira her talking, saved myself some trouble. "Right.. euhm.. I'm sorry." Laxus said and before I could say anything to calm him down he walked away. I felt my heart ache and tried to turn to Mirajane. I placed my hand a bit forward because right now I felt like I needed affection and Mira was always the right person to turn to. She took my hand softly and muttered an apology. "Mira, who was Laxus to me?" She was quiet for a moment and I had the idea that she was biting her lip to think of the best answer to give. "You two, were and probably are quite complicated. But I think you love him and he loves you. No matter how complicated it is. I can see you still do." I might, but I still didn't feel like going after him right now. I didn't want him to see me like this, if that made any sense.

I didn't have to avoid Laxus very long. He left two days later for a new mission. He came to say goodbye, but only goodbye as if we would never see each other again. Which might be true in my case. My eyes still didn't show any sign of recovery. On the other hand I was getting used to being blind, however I needed my eyes back if I wanted to do that mission. I first wrote a letter to the Council, apparently to a guy named Lahar, who seemed to be my client in case of the dragons. Lucy and Mira helped me write the letter, which was needed obviously. Even though I could see through the earth I couldn't write any straight line sentences. Such a shame.

"Why is everyone so busy?" I asked one day to Mira, while I was in my second week of fixing my eyes. "Oh it's not so busy as usual, it's noisy because Natsu wants to avenge for you but Erza doesn't want it. They are sort of fighting and that makes Gray fight Natsu. Lucy complain with Erza about the two of them and I can go on and on about who is doing what." Mira giggled and I could only lift an eyebrow because I didn't understand a thing. I wished Natsu a lot of luck if he wanted to avenge me, when I didn't even know who had done this to me.

The last few days of the third week were in sight, inside joke much, but I couldn't take of the bandages or anything, the pain was worse everytime I came from Porlyusica but I had the idea I could see better. She came to me on the last day and we were in the middle of the Guild hall. I could hear her complain underneath her breath. Not the exact words but I knew she didn't like it and neither did I. If it didn't work and I didn't had my eyes back, it would be a disappointment in front of everyone. She asked if I was ready and slowly took away the bandages from my eyes when I nodded. I was scared and I was glad Erza was beside me and had her hand on my shoulder. I saw something lighter, something white so I closed my eyes, afraid of the interpretations that I made myself. "Open your eyes Luka." Erza whispered softly when I could feel that the bandage was gone.
I did what she told me and I stared in her equal brown colored eyes. "It's good to see you." I whispered.
