Chapter 11

Levy squinted against the darkness trying to make sure she didn't trip over any of the steps in the place where she was. She hadn't known but apparently she slept here instead of her actually house. 'She' being Mrs. Evangeline, of course.

It hadn't been Levy's idea to go search around her house in the city, it had been Master's idea, not that she had really disagreed. She had always appeared when Levy did a heist at a nobles house, at first Levy had been convinced that it was just a coincidence, but by the fifth time she was doubting herself.

Levy was supposed to be looking for letters that she had received that had information about when and where Levy would steal, according to Master, but other than that she was on her own. Some of the letters might be old because when Levy had first saw her during a robbery, it had three years ago.

Levy sighed, finding three year old letters that might have been burned was going to be so fun. As she thought that she almost tripped over a step, an image flashed through her head. It was her lying in the dark with blood pooling around her and- She shook her head to clear the image and turned toward the tapestry that was swaying slightly.

That would be a good place to hide something, she thought as she observed the weaving for a minute or so. She nodded to herself, grabbed the weaving, and pulled it away from wall to find a box in a crevice in the wall. She carefully lifted the box from its hiding place, making sure not to bump it against the wall. She then laid it on the floor that had carpet which muffled the sound of the box falling the last two inches, much to her relief.

Before she opened it, she crouched down and took a moment wipe her sweaty forehead and fan her hot face, Why is it so hot in here? Once she had cooled down, admittedly not much, Levy opened the box which was not locked.

She couldn't see much other than the shape of the object or objects in the box, it looked like letters but she couldn't be sure, so she moved her hand toward them. That was a mistake.

Crinkle, crackle, crinkle.

Damn, she thought. I forgot that paper makes noise much less old paper. So she picked up the box and stood up, wincing when she heard her knees pop. Levy went toward the doorway and snuck out after looking both ways.

Once she was outside and not on her property, Levy acted very relaxed and normal, careful not to attract unwanted attention, but soon stop for she had realized that it was empty. It was after all midnight or near midnight anyway.

Levy was at the guild enjoying herself by reading and occasionally stopping to listen to Nastu and Lucy or sometimes Natsu, Gray, and Erza. It would depend but either one was entertaining if the book that she was reading wasn't.

"You ate all the food in my frigde, AGAIN!"

"I was hungry, Luce," Natsu said with his puppy eyes.

"Get another excuse cause I'm not buying it! Lucy shouted.

"But it's true." Natsu moaned.

"Argh!"

"Luce."

"Don't talk to me."

"Luc-"
"No."

"Lu-"

"No" Lucy said ending the conversation (fight?).

"Have you been disturbing Lucy, Natsu." Erza said coming up behind him.

"Er-Erza!" Natsu yelps surprised.

Levy sighed and went back to her book, almost exactly when Master comes out of his office to yell at them. In the end, Master was the one who was screaming the loudest because Natsu said something and Erza was defending the Master and Gray butted in to yell insults at Natsu. So in the end it was complete chaos.

All of a sudden, Master becomes serious and walks toward Levy who was reading her book after getting bored of watching people fight. Nastu, Erza, and Gray are left confused as Master walks away from them.

"Levy."

"Master?"

"It went fine and he is on our side."

Levy relaxed and relief showed on her making her realize that she had been worried and tense about the plan Master had come up with. Master left and went back in his office to figure out if the people who had wanted to do a job were qualified enough to do it without getting caught.

"What was that about?" Levy raised her head to find Lucy.

"Lu-chan!"

"So what was it about?" Lucy said not dropping the subject.

"Umm…nothing much.."

Lucy got a gleam in her eye and then raised her hands, wiggling them, "HeeHee."

"No, Lu-chan, don't!" Levy pleaded as Lucy tickled her but stopped as she started giggling uncontrollably.

Lucy finally stopped when they were both breathless and lying on the stone floor.

"Tell me, Levy!"

"It was nothing." Levy mumbled.

"Yeah right." Lucy said sarcastically.

"It true." Levy said desperately sticking her hands and waving them as if that could prove her point that it was nothing.

"Sure, tell me please!" She said with puppy eyes.

"I can't tell you, but it's really not important."

"That's what I said about my dad and it turned out it was important."

"That was different, it was important, this isn't though."

"Let me decide whether it's important or not, Levy!"

"I can't."

"Fine!" Lucy said stubbornly with anger and hurt in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Lucy." Levy said quietly as Lucy stormed out of the building. As Lucy reached the door she paused and turned back to shout.

"I will find out Levy whether you want me or not!"

Lucy slammed the door leaving Levy alone on the floor getting questioning stares from other members of the guild.
