Mr Heartfilia walked down the stairs a few moments later, holding a small but long letter. He was staring down cast at it, tears threatening to fall. He wiped these before he entering the drawing room, he didn't want Lucy's friends to see him this weak.
He opened the door and slid in, trying to cause as small as sound as possible. The atmosphere was as heavy as he left it or even maybe more so. There seemed to be a hint of anticpatsion in the air.
Jude gave the letter to Levy, saying no words. She quickly skimmed the letter although even that much made her eyes water.
"The sign is here, that means that the notes are continued. When we have them all we can put them together." She declared determined but her word were almost a wispher.
"What you mean sign?" Inquired Igneel.
Levy explained to the males that had been absent.
" Hmm, do you think Lucy has left us a message?" Asked Jude.
"Yes, I think so. She always put something extra in our stories for me. To make me think or for a challange." She grinned at the memories, of earlier, simplier times.
"Are the Notes going to be sent like Grays was, in the post?" Asked Natsu heavily. He didn't even know if he would actually get one, due to the fact that he abondoned her. He knew he could only do one thing now, he would do that tonight...
"Probably. When Juvia gets home they might be there. Juvia's going to text Juvia's mum asking if there is anything" Juvia replied while taking out her phone.
"No ones at home, for me and Levy so we will have to go home as see for ourselfes. We are going to stay here for a while, is that is okay?"
Erza shared.
"Yes, yes of course I wouldn't expect anything less. Does that mean, Igneel, that you and Natsu will stay longer? I can get someone to prepare dinner. I think we all need to stay together in a time like this." Jude suggested.
"We will, I'll call Mrs Dragneel now telling her where will be. If you would excuse me for a moment." Igneel relpied glancing at Natsu who gave him a firm nod. He left the room and shut the door quitely.
"I also have something to do, I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Sorry" Natsu excused himself. Natsu had decided that this would be a good time to do the thing he need to do so badly. Something he knew deep down, that he had been wanting to do for a while. He walked through the mansion knowing the place like the back of his hand. He excited into the back garden and making sure he had some signal, he called Lisanna.
