Here's chapter 8. Thank you for reading and sticking up with me for this long. Now this is when things start to happen!


Chapter eight.

It had taken two more days, three train rides because of Lucy getting off at the wrong stop, and nine hours to find the building.

Finally, they were there.

Onix couldn't help but smile at her new families faces. Their jaws had dropped at the sight. The guild had three floors made entirely of what looked like Mirror Glass (Mirror glass is a magical item. It absorbs magic attacks turned against it and transfers it to the owners magical gauge) It had a shimmer of black that stained the glass making it give off a kind of scary but mystical presence. Eden and Iris were the last to go inside and marvel at the interior design.

The giant room (Fairy Tail size) had red and gold wallpaper which reminded the girls of blood. They noticed in the far wall, a railing with doors a few steps behind. Guessing, Memory made an assumption that they were rooms they'd never use.

"This...is...amazing" Lucy breathed.

"Thanks!" Onix beamed, "I picked it out myself!"
"How'd you pay for it?" Anya asked.

The Bluette merely grinned, "Horrible parents have to be used for something"

It turned out that there was a door behind the bar, leading into a platinum kitchen. Anya and Princess' eyes widened with delight as they spun each other around in a circle, telling the girls to carry on without them as they ran out to get groceries.

Giggling, Onix led them to the circular stairway that the guild members would use to go to their bedrooms on the third floor.

"Wait. We get to live here?" Ruki asked, a smile threatening to over power her.

"Duh!" The Bluette replied happily, "We're all sisters! It would be weird not being together" And ended her sentence with a pout of her midnight red lips.

Rosie and Ruki clasped hands and squealed as they chased down the hallway that had no windows and red paint with a wooden border. There were doors on both sides.

"Onix?" Memory's voice sliced through her thoughts.

"Yip?"

"Do we get roommates?"

Onix pressed a black-fingered hand to her chin before nodding. "If you want, but they have to be the same age as you first"

The second floor took some time to go to. Eden and Iris were the first to locate the stairway. It was one of those, walk up halfway and then the stairs changed their position by 90 degrees. It turned out to be another hallway. Only on the left side were there doors, as they walked down it, Rosie saw that instead of a wall on the right side, there was only a low, metal railing that prevented them from falling. As Memory suspected, it looked out onto the tavern part of the guild.

God it was cool!

"What's this floor used for?" Iris asked as she witnessed Princess and Anya returning with their arms full of shopping bags.

Onix gave off a slight malicious aura that flooded the guild, "I'll tell you after wards" She trailed her pale fingers across the metal side and opened the first door and shushed them inside.

Rosie's eyes sparkled with delight at what she saw. Of course the room was empty, apart from key items that told the group everything they needed to know about what it was.

The walls were a faint pink with white tiled floors.

"Oh...My...Freaking...GOD!" The girl screamed, holding her cheeks to try calm herself down.

"I thought you might like it. Though it isn't filled with anything yet" Onix said thoughtfully. Two of the walls were lined with shelves for what appeared to be shoes. And by lined, I mean took up every available place. The rest of the area had rails stringing from the walls where clothing would be hung. But what really shocked the girls, was the circular podium in the center and the full body mirror next to it.

Onix smiled and had to pry Rosie from the podium to get them to the next rooms.


...


Lucy couldn't stop as they all sat down. Everyone's either ached from the smiling they'd done or their throats hurt from screaming out in delight (Rosie, Princess and Iris). Ruki munched down on the cakes that Princess and Anya had baked. It turned out they had a way with food.

Fairy Tail didn't have anything on this guild, Lucy had decided after they'd seen almost every room.

One the second floor was;

A Make up room.

A Clothes room.

A Weapons room.

A Music room.

Heck! They even had a basement! It was used as a luxurious traditional Japanese Bathroom.

"So..." Anya started, a sudden questioned entering her mind, "What's our guilds name?"

Onix's black eyes flicked up from her chocolate cake she was eating herself (Glutton) and spoke with an even voice, "Considering re-telling each of our life stories made us cry"

"Hey! We didn't-" Iris tried to defend herself and Eden.

The bluette cut her off, "But you wanted too"

She didn't reply which made Onix carry on, "I suggest we have the word Tears in our name. And since we will always be plagued by the demons we've encountered in our lives. Demon Tears is our Guild name"

Angeline was never one to think rashly but the horde of angry people chasing her made her. The streets were closing in on her, making it harder to breathe. Already, her heart was beating triple it's usual speed which seemed to make the world tilt.

Her feet hit the concrete pavement and taking a chance, she ducked through an alleyway and followed it down to a river bank in RavensCreak. The town was lively, she'll admit, it was just the fact that they didn't take kindly to people stealing to live.

Dipping her hands into the cold stream water, she splashed her face before feeling a hand clasp her shoulder. Tearing back and falling into the cold liquid, she resurfaced to find the man she'd stolen an apple from about to dive in after her. Panicking, Angeline swam to the other bank and picked up her pace running until she couldn't see him, or anyone for that matter. It was a ghost land. No buildings could be seen, only a stony road that led past a gathering of bushes and trees in a straight line. Taking another chance, she followed it and came to a three story house-of-a-kind before passing out.

Fairy Tail

Natsu stared at the Job Board before ripping one off. He marched over to where his Team sat and slammed the page on the table.

"Let's go on a job!"

Erza looked at him and then the quest. It was to take out a group of thugs, "Alright. Gray?"

The Ice Mage simply pointed towards the money given, "For 100,000? I am in"

Erza, Natsu and Gray requested that Mirajane approve their mission, which she did, happy that they were returning back to normal, even if it was a tiny bit.

"Where are we going?" Gray asked.

"You didn't check?" Erza replied, drinking down a pint of beer.

"Well. It's a day journey, and we're going to RavensCreak"


Thanks for reading!
