So here is the second part of my story. Hope you like it and thanks for those who commented it!
The next day I said to my mom:' I'm going on a mission.'' Are you going alone?' asked she while she was cleaning the table from breakfast. 'yes and I don't know when I'll come back.' I said and she looked up. 'Did you already pick one?' " No, but I was planning to do a long mission with a good reward.' ' alright, take enough fresh clothes with you.' She said an I rolled my eyes.' Of course mom, I will.' And I kissed her on her cheek, I saw she was surprised of it. I walked to my room and started to pack. The mission was part of the plan. After packing I left home and walked to the guild and looked for a job that was far away from Magnolia. Luckily there was a simple mission in a little town called Balster's lane. It was far in the west so I picked that job and told Mira of it." Well, that's far away isn't it? and you're going alone, are you sure?' she asked while she was cleaning the bar.' Well it isn't a hard mission I only have to escort a rich merchant and his beloved golden statute.' I said while rolling my eyes. Mira giggled a little girl giggle. 'Well of you go then.' she said and waved at me.' Alright, bye.' And I waved back. Before I went to the train station I went first to Gildarts house. I knew he was home so I knocked on the door. ' Who's there?' he said. ' it's me Layla.' 'Go away I have a visitor.' Yeah I know it doesn't sounds really friendly but that's because Gildarts and I had some fights. It started one day when I was in a very grumpy mood and he was being is noisy self so I said he was a stupid asshole who could only let things explode. He said I had to say sorry but instead of that I kicked him in his private area and ran away. Since then it wasn't very friendly between us but I had to ask this question. I couldn't leave without asking. So I opened the door and came in.' Oi, I said that I had a visitor.' Said Gildarts with an irritated voice. I looked around and saw Seth, Gildarts grandson, sitting in the other chair. Seth was 1 or 2 years older than me but the youngest son of Cana and had the same magic as Gildarts. He looked also a little like Gildarts except for his dark brown hair and the fact that Seth shaved himself. ' Yo.' He said and I ignored him and said to Gildarts: ' it's only Seth I and I have a favour to ask you.' 'why would I do you a favour?' he said. 'I'm going for a mission but after that I won't come back for about a few years.' I said and I saw he looked surprised then he asked: ' Why would you do that?' ' I'm going to search dad and find out what happened to him. So the thing that I want to ask you is..' for the first time in my life I couldn't say something because there was something stuck in my throat. ' what you want to ask is?' Gildarts said. I took a deep breath and asked:' please , could you watch after my mom and Igneel? I know that I'm going to hurt them and I'm really sorry but I have to do this.' Silence. Then Gildarts said: ' fine but you have to promise me that you are sending them a letter at least one time in a month.' I sighed in relief.' Thank you Gildarts and I promise.' And with that I left his house and went to the station.
It was a very long trip from Magnolia to Balster's lane. I had to sleep one night in the train but I didn't care. I was thinking about my mom and about Igneel. They were hurt because I lied to them and wasn't coming back anymore. That night I cried myself to sleep because of the huge amount of guilt I felt.
I woke up from the light that was shining on my face. I saw the station of Balster's lane and yawned. After I had eaten something I was going to the house of the client. The guy was really fat and had a greasy smell.' We're leaving immediately.' he said and with that four servant came and lifted the chair were the merchant was sitting on. Four more servants were needed to pull the car with the statute and the other belongings of the man. We walked out of the town into the forest. Our goal: Delion city. Delion city lay in the middle of the forest. It would take 3 days to get there. This wasn't a violence area so it would be an easy 3 days. Well that's what I thought. I don't know I thinks fate hate me or something, maybe you can call it bad luck. But the first day went really nice , we travelled quick an maybe we could get this done in 2 days. The second day one of the servants who went out for a pee, didn't come back. We searched hours for him but we couldn't find him. It made me worry and I stayed more alert. But I had to take over the job of the missing servant: carrying the chair of the fat merchant. Damn it could the fat ass eat some less pie? At the end of the second day I was very grumpy and considered to burn all the food so the big pig couldn't eat more. But there was another problem. Another servant had disappeared. We searched him also but the only thing we could find was his head.' Why didn't you take more servants with you?' I asked the merchant who was eating again. He looked at me surprised and said: ' Well if I had taken more with me I had to pay them more and then there would be less money to buy food.' I walked away and started to punch into a tree. Why had I picked this mission. The man was a friggin' jerk! No wait, he was a friggin' pig! His belly was super big and his skin was as pink as a baby and he eat the whole friggin' day! When I was calmed down I walked over to the camp and said: ' everybody listen, during the day we lost 2 people but they're haven't been eaten by wild beasts because there were no footprints or something like that. So the plan is that there are 2 guys and included me who are going to guard the camp tonight. Everyone will guard at least one time, so who would be the first 2?' ' None of my servants are going to guard because the will be to tired the next day.' said the merchant. I really wanted to burn that guy to ashes. He hadn't moved from his chair the past two days. Only if he had to pee of course. But he was my boss so I couldn't burn him so I tried to convince him.' But if we don't have guards, more people could disappear and maybe there would be some thieves whom are trying to steal your statute.' ' Well I hired you to solve this sort of problems, so don't involve my man.' The merchant said and according to him the conversation was over. I bit on my lip in frustration. So I stayed whole night awake and the next day the stupid pig said that I looked tired. I was glad that it was the last day. But I had to carry fatty again! He was heavy and I was tired so sometimes I get scolded by him for walking to slow. By noon we stopped. After we had set down the chair I fell into some leaves and sighed, maybe I could get a little nap before we were leaving. I looked up at the leaves from the tree above me. They were turned to red and a lot had already fallen. It would soon be winter. I shivered. I hated the winter it was always to cold. Yes I know, a fir mage who had it cold during the winter. Something that I had from my mom's side of the family. She had it always cold during the winter. When I was young, mom laid always her head on dad's shoulder and then he cuddled her to warm her up. When I thought about her I felt something sting inside me. Then I heard a voice screaming: ' give us the statute and the merchant and nobody would get hurt like those 2.' I looked up and saw the 2 missing servants death and with horrible wounds on their bodies. I stood up and walked to the robbers. I was angry, really angry. They had killed those servants for nothing. ' We won't give you the statute nor the merchant, even if I wanted to.' I said. ' but I'm going to give all you guys a punch in the face for torturing and killing those guys.' And with that I pumped my fist full of fire. ' Ha, we are with 7 guys and you´re on your own. Besides 3 of us are water mages, you can´t win!´ the guy laughed. ´we´ll see. Roar of the fire dragon!´ I missed, but there was now a whole new path in the forest. ´ are you the Salamander of Fairy Tail? I've heard of you and thought you were better than this.' said the henchman of the robbers. ' That Salamander is my dad and don't you dare to blame him.' I ran into the guy with my fists of the fire dragon but I was shot away by a water cannon. I knew it was water cannon because I had seen Juvia practicing it. I was soaked by one shot. I growled at the guy who shot me. 'you're going to regret that!' I run to him and dodged his attacks. ' fire twister!' I hit the man and he was knocked out. I landed on my feet just to get shot by to other water cannons. I spit out some water and looked up to the other 2 water mages. They looked tougher than the first one. I had to do something but what? I was in a very big disadvantage. I decided to run to the left one but then to bow to the right to attack him with my fists of the fire dragon. I was shot again by a water cannon and hit a tree. I gritted my teeth and shot some fireballs to them but they just went out because of the water.' We expected more from a fight with a person who has dragon slayer moves.' The water mages laughed, they laughed because of me. I stood up and said; ' who are you laughing at?' and with that I ran to the 2 of them. They shot their water cannons again but it had no use. My body temperature was hotter than before and my flames too. The water just went to steam. Then I hit them, they flew through the air and fell 5 metres further. I panted. There were still four robbers who had to be knocked down.' Who is next?' I asked and I saw the other robbers thinking. ' she's a friggin' monster.' One of them whispered. ' who said that?' and I looked the guy straight in the eyes.' it was you wasn't it?' ' N…no ….. m…..miss, i…i…it wasn't m ..me.' the poor guy said, he lied. 'fine if you said the truth it would go fast and without pain, now it's only to be fast.' I was ready to get him when I heard an awful noise. Even with my hand on my ears I could still hear it as if my hands didn't cover my ears. I was get punched in my stomach and again and again but I couldn't get my hands of my ears because of that horrible sound. I fell on my knees with and my head hit the ground. I bit on my lip, how could I be defeated just by sound? Then I felt something sharp in my neck and the noise stopped.' Don't do anything or your head is going to be a part without a body.' A hazy voice said to me. I pumped my fists again with fire but then I felt a sting in my neck and next there was blood dripping on the ground. I stopped. I had failed. I was weak.' Need help or something?' A voice said and before I could answer there was a big bang behind me and the guy who defeated me fell next to me, knock out. I looked at who saved me and I saw it was Seth. ' What are you doing here?' I asked and he gave me a grin. " just helping.' He said. ' you should have a rest and let me finish it' I wanted to say something but he was walking already to the enemy.' you guys wanna have a fight? just come and get it.' he said and with that the other 3 ran into him and tried to stab him and they hit him. I sighed he wasn't very well in dodging something but he saved my live so I should have fate in him. He blew one guy away and he went the other 2 flying into some trees. It was just finished in a few second. I felt a little bit jealous but then I cheered myself a little up by saying that I hadn't sleep last night. Seth came to me and said:' nice mission you picked.'
