Welcome back here's the next chapter.
Yury spent the rest of the day pacing the train avoiding Mavis and she didn't leave the room, neither expected their game to turn out as it did, this was actually the first fight they had ever gotten in since becoming friends and they didn't like it, they'd both brought up things they shouldn't have. When it was time for dinner deciding it was better to face her than keep avoiding her, Yury got dinner for them and returned to their room, Mavis looked like she hadn't moved but she looked to him when he came in.
"I brought dinner" he says handing her, her tray.
"Thanks" that was about it for dinner conversation they ate in silence, when they were done Yury took the empty plates back and decided to go to bed Mavis turned off her light too getting into her bed. Still awake they didn't speak in the darkness only their breathing could be heard.
"I forgave you…a long time ago you should forgive yourself" Mavis says.
"I'm not as forgiving as you, not even to myself not for this, you don't realise it even after all this time I ruined your future"
"No you didn't you and Precht and Warrod you're the reason my life is how it is, you're my friends my family and with the guild my comrades, I can't thank you enough"
"You don't get it that not all there is to life"
"What more could I want? Fairy Tail the people in it, it's all I want Yury"
"What about in the future what if you fall in love? You can't have a family like that"
"Why not?"
"Because you look like you're twelve"
"If someone were to love me like that, what I look like shouldn't matter"
"What would people say?"
"People in Magnolia know me they'd understand, but I've never much cared for people's opinions of me"
"Trust me I know" Yury says shaking his head in the darkness.
"Is that what you've been concerned about? My future?"
"Yeah" Mavis chuckled.
"Oh Yury please don't as long as I have you, Warrod, Precht and Fairy Tail I'll be fine"
"Okay" he says still not sure but as long as she was happy and she was safe like he promised, he was happy.
"Goodnight Yury"
"Goodnight Mavis"
The next day went a lot faster than the first and they'd be arriving at the closest town to the town they were going to. They'd arrive this afternoon which hopefully would give them enough time to get to the right town by night fall. Mavis and Yury hopped off at the station and bought food from some stores, along with a bag Yury could carry it in. They head off immediately, Mavis in front and Yury following her, it took two hours but they reached the town from the request, what was odd though was that no one was outside. Yury and Mavis walked down the main street the doors were all closed and they heard a few windows close and lock…Yury had a very bad feeling. They arrived at the town hall and a man peaked his head out.
"Please haven't you done enough?" he begged them Mavis and Yury shared a look.
"Um sir we are mages from Fairy Tail responding to the request to take care of some ruffians?" the man looked so relieved Yury wondered if he would faint.
"Please come in quick!" he said ushering them in once inside he took a look at them, Yury carrying nothing but a bag that had food and some jewels inside and Mavis a little girl with very long blonde hair, wing ornaments in her hair and bare feet.
"You're really mages?"
"Yes we are" Mavis assures him the man nods.
"I'm the Mayor of this town, a couple of weeks ago some of my people came to me saying they'd been attacked for no reason by some men, sometimes things of theirs were stolen or they were just viciously attacked for no reason. So I sent out the request since we couldn't figure out where they came from or went to but right after I sent the request more of them came, each and every day suddenly demanding a protection fee both from them and for us against others. I refused our town is small with only ten peace keepers, this one man put all ten in the hospital, these weren't ordinary people they were mages with magic and they've claimed my town as theirs. No one dares leave their homes in fear of being targets, they don't discriminate they will hurt anyone for the fun of it, even though I paid and I keep paying…I just don't know what to do"
"Don't worry mayor we'll take care of it" Mavis says.
"Mavis you do realise…"
"Yes it's a dark guild that's taken over this town, and we're going to throw them out"
"Just the two of you?" the mayor asks.
"We're more than enough right Yury?"
"I guess" he says.
"Well then you are both welcome to stay at the inn next door, the owner is kind she'll look after you, the dark guild members always come at night, not the boss but some of the members they like to terrorise anyone they can find"
"Good then they'll come to us, we'll take care of them and get them to lead us to their hideout" Yury says.
"I agree it's the best strategy" Mavis looks out at the setting sun.
"They'll be here soon" the mayor whimpers.
"And we'll be there to meet them" Yury says.
"As guild master and member of Fairy Tail we will take your request to remove these ruffians from your town mayor" Mavis says.
"Oh thank you!" he says, Mavis and Yury smile heading back out to the town square and standing side by side as the mayor barricades himself inside, they wait.
I had to leave it here hope you're still enjoying the story review your thoughts!
