Chapter 16
Together Again

Lucy P.O.V

"So let me get this right," I say, hobbling beside Kai. My hand is still clutched in Natsu's and neither of us seem to want to let go. "You are all spirits, but you and your brother, plus Anila and her sister, where born of the elements?"

"Exactly," Kai reply's nodding. "I woke up in the ocean. I still have no memory of how I got there, I just was. Aine woke up in the middle of that mountain, in the molten lava at it's core."

"What about the other two?" Natsu asks.

"Adan was the funniest I would say," Kai laughs, ignoring the glare his brother sends back to us from where he walks just a head. "He woke up in the middle of a tree. We had to break him out and he looked so scared!" We break into laughter.

"And Anila?" I ask this time, smiling at Kai. I frown when his face drops.

"Her's was the scariest. She fell from a cloud," he whispers, glancing quickly up at the girl in front of us. She walks ahead of everyone else, her head bowed. "If I hadn't caught her, I'm not sure what would have happened."

"She lucky you did," Natsu says, squeezing my hand slightly.

"No, I'm lucky to have her," Kair says, so quietly I almost think I've imagined it.

"We're almost there," Adan shouts from ahead. Suddenly, Lisanna begins to struggle. Virgo and Capricorn freeze, tightening their grip on her arms. "Leo, we may need help!"

A man my age appears before us, grabbing Lisanna around the shoulders. His hair is a mess of orange curls and his eyes hidden by glasses. He seems almost normal, even with his suit on.

"Adan, thought you would never call," he says, tightening his grip on the thrashing girl. He looks over at me and grins. "Why, Princess, you are so beautiful."

"Leo, no," Adan groans. "Do not start that. Just help us get the girl moving again." Leo nods, winks at me over his glasses and tugs Lisanna on, the other two spirits helping.

"You guys are so slow," a melodic voice says, from through the trees. We emerge into a clearing and are faced with a group of people.

"Lu!" I hear before I'm suddenly on my back, Levy and Juvia hugging me. I laughs and push them off, twisting around until I'm kneeling in front of them and grabbing them to hug again.

"We where so worried!" Erza says, grabbing me from the other two and almost breaking my back in a crushing hug.

"You idiots!" Gray says, laughing as he high-fives Natsu.

"We where all idiot's," I say, breaking the death hug. I then turn to the one person in the group who I don't know. "You must be Aine." I smile brightly as she skips over and takes my hand.

"Yeah, that's me!" Her voice is like music, in a way. Soft. She shakes her black hair away from her face and grins up at me. "Pleased to meet you Princess Lucy Heartfelia!"

"Please to meet you too," I say. She's adorable really, once you get past the black hair and luminous eyes. Yet, she has to be about my age.

"Anila!" she then says, running over to her sister. Suddenly, Anila's face is shining as she grins at her sister. I look on, half sad, half happy. What I would give for a sister.

"You okay?" Natsu asks, coming up beside me. I nod and smile at him. He takes my hand again and squeezes. His eyes find the two sisters. "You don't need to wish for a sister. I think Wendy already thinks of you as her sister and I'm sure Levy does too."

"She does?" I ask and he nods. "Your sister is is adorable. And your right, Levy is like my sister. As is Juvia and Erza. I love them all. Thank you Natsu."

"Not a problem," he says, grinning. "So what do we do about Lisanna?"

"Well, possession is hard to break," Levy answers. "It either takes magic or Lisanna breaking it herself. I have a feeling the second one is the best potion. Lisanna wouldn't want to do this and that's her key to getting out."

"How do you know that?" Adan asks, shocked.

"I read a lot," Levy says simply, shrugging. "Who are you guys anyway?"

"Names Adan," the boy answers, smirking. "That's Kairav, Anila, Virgo, Capricorn, Scorpio and Leo. We're spirits. Anile is Aine's sister, who I guess you've met."

"So are you guys the other three elementals?" Levy asks. Adan nods. "And the others?"

"Celestial spirits," I answer. "Born from the stars." Levy nods and walks over to Gajeel, who stand beside Lisanna.

"Can we tie her up?" the black haired man asks.

"Sure, take this," Adan says, bending down and touching the ground. A vine, about the thickness of my wrists suddenly sprouts from the where is fingers touched the earth. Gajeel takes it, surprisingly asking no questions and wraps it around a tree, securing Lisanna in place.

"That should hold her," Aine says. "The vine is imbued with magic, so it will hold."

"Of course it will hold," Adan grumbles. "I made it didn't I?" Aine simply laughs ad reaches up to pat his head, smiling at him. After a moment he smiles back.

"We should get going," Leo says, while the other Zodiac's gather around him. "Call us if you need help." The vanish in a puff of smoke, not before Leo takes a moment to wink at me.

"Ignore him, he likes to flirt," Aine says, while Anila nods.

"It's fine, I'm used to it," I say, shivering at the memories of past balls and the sons of nobles flirting with me.

"What do you mean your used to it?" Natsu asks. He sounds angry and I frown. Why would he be angry?

"The men at the parties my parents through, the men enjoyed flirting with me," I grumble, grimacing. "Some even tried to court me but I always refused. I want love not money."

"The amount of times I've heard you say that seems to be endless," Levy says, smiling. "I'm glad you think that way though. Just think, you could be married to a Eucliffe by now."

"Ew, don't remind me of that boy," I shudder, pulling a face. Everyone, expect Natsu and the sprirts, laugh.

"Eucliffe? What's an Eucliffe?" Natsu ask, frowning.

"Their a noble family, though lower class that yours or mine," Gray says. "They have a son called Sting -weird name, I know- and a few years back, they tried to set him up with Lucy here. Instead, he got set alight." He breaks into laughter and I glare.

"I didn't know the candle was there okay!" I yell, balling my hands into fists. "I just pushed him away from me. I didn't mean for him to catch fire!"

"Lucy, calm down," Jellal says, smiling. "We know. Though it's still funny and he deserved it. He treated you horribly and was a spoilt brat."

"Good point," Erza says nodding. "Good thing you did set him alight or you would be married to him."

"Ew no!" I laugh, clutching Natsu for support.

"Juvia would not have approved," my blue haired friend says from her spot beside Gray.

"Me either," Natsu says, just loud enough for me to hear. I look at him in shock and he simply smiles back.

"Don't you guys need a cure," Adan asks, breaking the silence. We all nod. "Then lets get going."

We nod again and gather round him, beginning to make plans.

Lisanna P.O.V

"Thank God, thank God," I sob against the mirror, watching as Gajeel ties up my physical body. I didn't hurt them. Thank God I didn't hurt them.

"You are pathetic," Zeref purrs from behind me. I whirl round and glare at him. "You can't save them. Your stuck in here." He laughs and disappears.

"Watch me!" I shout. "I'll help them! I'll get out of here! Just you wait!"

I spin around and face the mirror, staring intently at the crack that mares it's surface. I pull back a fist and let it spring forward, slamming the glass. Again and again until my knuckles crack and I tears pour down my face. In one that, futile attempt I hit the glass again A crack makes me look up.

The small crack is now larger, light pouring in through the indent. I smile and stand up, gazing at the crack in awe.

"Just you wait and see, Zeref," I whisper. "You puppet is about to cut her own strings."

I raise my leg and kick the glass, enjoying the cracking sound the resounds throughout the room.

Normal P.O.V

"Wendy, try this will you," Mira says, passing a cupcake to the younger girl.

"What is it?" Wendy asks, taking a bite before Mira can answer.

"Toffee cupcake," Mira says, grabbing a spoon and mixing the contents of yet another bowl.

"Mmmm, I like this," Wendy says, daintily liking the icing off the top.

"You seem in a better mood," Ultear says, from her seat beside Wendy. "Is it because you talked to you brother?"

"Yep," Wendy reply's, "I miss him but at least I know he's safe. Apart from the Dragon thing."

"Yes, you father seems quite disturbed by that," Mira says, eyes searching the little girls face.

"I can't tell you why Mira," Wendy says, head bowed. "It's Father's story to tell."

"I know Wendy. I'm just curious," Mira soothes, smiling.

"Aren't you always?" Ultear asks, smirking. Mira pouts an sticks her tongue out at the black haired girl.

Igneel P.O.V

"What do we do, Igneel?" Grandine asks me, hear head resting on my shoulder. I brush her hair from her head and kiss it.

"We have to tell everyone," I reply, staring out onto the gardens. I feel her nod and sigh. This was not going to be easy but their children may have to face my brother, so they have a right to know.

"Come, Igneel," Grandine says, standing straighter. "It is time." I follow her back inside, dreaded the conversation to come.

Layla P.O.V

"Your last, Jeremy," I say, as the knife is passed to him. Easily he cuts a small slice into his palm, dripping blood into the pool. The we chant.
"Sora no shihai-sha o yobiokosu.
Hoshi no ō o yobiokosu.
Hoshi no ōsama,
Watashi no tokoro ni ki nasai."

We chant as one, holding hand and closing out eyes. When the pool begins to shine, I shout out.

"Spirit King, I call upon you! Gate of the King, open!"

Blinding light fills the clearing and a blast of wind knocks us off our feet. I lie, winded, on the ground staring up in awe. In front of me, standing in the pool, is a man, as tall as the palace. A mustache cover most of his face but I can tell he is smiling.

"Queen Layla," he booms, "to what do I have the honor?"

"Spirit King," I say, standing up and taking a breathe. "My daughter is in danger and I will need you help."

"From who, may I ask?"

"Your brother," I answer him. He looks at me in shock, before sighing.

"I was afraid of that," he murmurs. "Zeref, my little brother, what have you done now."
