Hey guys it's Talia again! HEHEHE It took so long for me to update and post the second chapter, and even longer for the third, but School, and debate sucks my life. My debate captain already hates me, so I don't want to do anything to make him hate me more. Except I didn't do anything to him in the firstplace. Oh well. Also my laptop's internet card doesn't work so I was using a USB one, but that shattered. literally. So I don't have internet, and have problems updating. But ALAS MY LOVELY FOLLOWERS, MY BEAUTIFUL DUCKLINGS HAVE BEEN PATIENT FOR THE MOST PART AND I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THAT!

For a reward, Game Time again! Pick any 4 of your favorite characters from FT, okay? Now, one is dressed as Darth Vader, another the playboy bunny, and the other two are bright pink and purple butterflies.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. THAT HONOR GOES TO HIRO MASHIMA.

Chapter 3: Black August

In the room were 2 women, and one man. One woman was sitting on the floor, legs crossed, and the man was leaning against the wall, hidden by shadow. The other woman was pacing around, deep in thought.

"I don't see the problem, Sparks. Don't get so pissed off at me. If you had seen that Natsu kid..." He trailed, off, and stepped into the light. He was covered in bandages, his arm in a cast and a boot on his foot. "Besides," he added, "That Lucy girl was taken out. That's good, right? Revenge for your father and brother?"

The woman pacing around stopped and sent him a glare that could have frosted Hell over. "Yes, Zenao, but she was only one person, and while she may have been the most important person to Dragneel, I want to have Dragneel suffer, watch all his friends die, and then, when I've had my fun, I'll kill him."

"Yo Master Sparks, I heard from some little birdies that that Natsu kid is taking it awfully hard. I heard rumors that he broke down screaming, and had a fit, especially when he found out there was no body left. And judging by Zenao's state, I reckon them to be true," She laughed.

"Oh shut up Arina." Zenao snapped.

"Oh calm your pretty bandaged head. I'm only teasing you. But that's what's been circling the rumor mill." Arina smirked.

"Yes, I'm well aware of the rumors, how he snapped and lost it, and how he apparently refuses to believe her to be gone, and is staying in her house waiting for her." Sparks said.

Zenao chuckled. "I think he's going to wait awhile."

"Yes, and something else. Something else doesn't add up." Sparks continued.

"What?" Zenao and Arina asked.

"Reports of the Heartfilia girl's body. The official statement from Fairy Tail doesn't make sense. With what happened, her body should have remained. Stabbed in the chest with a sword, right, Arina?"

Arina nodded. "Yes. I went for the ice mage, but she jumped in front of him, and took the blow. It went straight into her chest."

"So she should have left a body, am I right?"

"Yes. What was the description?"

"It was said that she fell to the ground, but her body bubbled and boiled away into nothingness." Sparks explained, a cross expression on her face.

"Yo Sparks. That sounds like teleportation magic." Zenao said.

"It does..." She pondered for a moment, then a look of realization came across her face. "ARINA!" She shouted.

Arina jumped. "Yes Master Sparks?"

"Go and fetch your sister for me. I need to have some words with her." Sparks demanded, stating the last sentence with venom.

Arina shivered, nodded and stood up and left.

"Kita, What the hell did you do?"Arina asked.

She stepped next to the other girl. They were standing in front of a mirror, and Arina noticed for the first time how much she and her twin looked alike. Same complexions, fair, and clear skin. Same noses, Same heart-shaped mouth, and crooked smile. Same dark brown hair, hers pulled back into a tight ponytail, Kita's flowing and curving around her face gracefully. Same sea-foamy green eyes with flecks of gold in them. Same body type, petite yet strong. Arina's body was muscular and athletic, years of hard work and determination out into them, while Kita's was softer, with slightly more rounded hips and thighs. Both girls beautiful, both girls identical. The main difference was their wardrobe. While Arina went for the more practical, dressing in sturdy cargo pants, combat boots, and an army green tank top, Kita opted for the more fashionable, dressing in an off-white chiffon halter dress, bare feet, and a rose in her hair.

"I-I-I-I couldn't let her die. I saw how devastated her friends were. Arina, tell me, do you feel remorse for when you kill? When you saw that girl crumple to the floor, when you saw her friends scream and cry, did you feel nothing?" Kita answered.

"You're not being fair. You know I am doing what the Master tells me to. No more, no less. Kita, I do it for you, for us. You know what would happen if one defies her. Which is why, I want to know, where is she? Please, Kita, I'm trying to protect you."

Kita sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "You have to promise not to tell the Master." She pleaded.

"You know I cannot make that promise. If Master Sparks tells me to tell her where the Heartfilia girl is, you know I have to tell her." Arina softly touched Kita's arm. "But I will do my best to cover for you."

"You are so good Arina. Thank you. You cover for me, and take the blame for my actions."

"Always do, always will."

"Lucy Heartfilia is on the bed. I had a camoflage spell put up around her. I'm surprised you didn't see her. You usually can see around my camoflage spells." Kita said.

"You've really improved." Arina replied.

"Well I did learn from the best."

AAAANNND CUT! By the way, Arina specializes in camoflage magic, while Kita specializes in Teleportation magic. Since they're identical twins, their magic is compatible, and both know simple spells of the other's.
