MEREDY's POV

I hopped to the tree's branch, swiftly landing on the next tree branch by swinging on the tree's branch.

I've been tracking Lyon's pack for about twenty-six hours, fourteen minutes and ten seconds. And now, I am only a few miles away from them. I hopped to the next tree branch and did a front-flip to go to the next, next tree branch, only to immediately stopped when I heard voices, hiding through the leaves of the tree. Good thing I was high enough to camouflage in the tree's leaves.

"See, Jura? We can even kidnap a mate of a vampire! Don't forget to mention, from the Royal Family!" I heard a childish-like voice. I peeked from the gap of a few leaves. It's from a girl with pink hair tied in pigtails. She's a few years younger than me.

Chelia Blendy.

I tried to look further but I can't see the man she's talking to. But I am sure that this man is a big one.

"Hmp. I was the one who literally captured her. You just made her sleep." I heard another voice. A matured one than Chelia. Her cousin, Sherry. She walked beside Chelia.

"At least I did a part too!" Chelia protested.

"Ok, ok. That's enough, you two." the man named Jura spoke.

"But Jura! I was the one who did the most part of the mission, right? I was the one who'll Lyon-sama congratulate." Chelia said. My stomach felt a slight curl at the mention of his name.

"No! It was I who will receive a prize from Lyon-sama, not you!" Sherry protested.

"No! Me!"

"No! It's me!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

"M—"

"What are you fighting for this time?"

My whole body trembled at his voice and as I felt his presence getting near.

No... I must not feel this way.

I need to do my job... no...

"N-nothing... L-Lyon-sama." Chelia and Sherry murmured.

I can only see Lyon's same-old pants and jacket. Although, now, he's only wearing a jacket and no top. Which is unusual.

Hmp. Who cares!

"Do you have to quarrel all the time?" I can still recognize his tired voice.

"Sorry... Lyon-sama." the two girls apologized. Lyon took a deep breath and sighed. Then, there was silence.

"Wait... can you—" Lyon paused, making my breath hitch. "Never mind." he added before walking away. I sighed.

Good thing I didn't sprayed perfume on me earlier or else my scent might have been smelled by th—

I felt a presence behind me that made me unconsciously turn but when I was about to turn, an arm was already circled around my waist and a hand with a handkerchief was placed on my nose and mouth.

I tried to struggle a lot but the grip on my waist made it hard to do so.

Then... I blacked out.

I opened my eyes.

I can still remember of how I am here. In this dark room.

I tried not to move much even though there are no chains or whatsoever that is refraining me to do so.

Then, I suddenly felt a presence near me so I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep.

The presence was strong that I sensed that it was beside me, near my head.

"I know you're awake. No need to pretend."

My eyes widened as I unconsciously turned my head to the voice, only to back away when the face of the owner of the voice was inches away from me. I sat up, backing away from him.

"It been a long time... Meredy." the sound of his voice saying my name lingering in my brain. My brain malfunctioned for a moment that made my lips part a little. I want to reply harshly to him but I couldn't find my voice to do so.

"I see that you've changed... a little." he said, trailing his eyes from my head to toe that made my whole body quiver. His gaze suddenly returned back to my eyes, his eyes filled with fury like before.

"So how was your new playmate, huh? Was he as good as me? Or did you also threw him away for another, like what you did to me?" he asked, venom in his voice. And that's when my fury heightened, the fear decreasing.

"Playmate? You were the one that toyed me!" I said, a lot of hate in my voice. He seemed to be taken aback, only to show much anger in his face.

"Oh really? From what I remember you were the one who was hanging out with that blonde haired guy while I was away!" he yelled.

"From what I also remember, you were the one who kissed another girl right in front of your mate's eyes! And like what I told you before, Zancrow was just a customer!" I retorted. He stopped. I was panting from all the anger I've released that I've been keeping all this time. He looked away from me.

"I can still remember the way he looks at you... It's like he's about to devour you any moment." he whispered.

"But you knew that I wouldn't let him." I said back, breathless. I bowed my head, refusing to look at him again.

"Rage took me all over that I didn't realized what I'm doing. I thought she was you and—"

"Stop. Just stop, okay? The past remains in the past. We couldn't change them." I said, my eyes tearing up. He looked speechless.

"But—"

"I only went here to track you and your pack. I understand if you never wanted to see me again." I said, a tear falling off. But I wiped it away and looking up.

"I should go now." I muttered before standing up, walking past him.

"I missed you..." I heard him whisper when I passed by him. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself.

'It's a lie, Meredy... Don't believe him.'

I heard him sigh.

"My pack isn't here. You could get out of this forest safely." he said, I can feel him face me—my back. I want to say thanks to him but my voice refused me to do so.

As I opened the door, I suddenly remembered a scene from before. It was when I was also opening the door. When I left him.

I closed my eyes, also closing the door behind me and stepped into the woods.

ERZA's POV

It's been a two days since Meredy left to track the Alpha of the pack The Blendy Cousins.

"I think I don't trust this Meredy girl." I heard a girl with lavender hair said. From what I remember, her name is Laki, the furniture maker of the Royal Family. She's talking to a blue-haired girl that I remember is Kinana.

"Meredy seems to be telling the truth... for me." Kinana said softly.

I walked away from the scene, about to go to my room when I heard Natsu not too far away, call Gray.

"Ice Princess! We have news from Meredy!" Natsu called from Gray's room.

News from Meredy?

Is she back?

Dis she found the Alpha? That Lyon Vastia?

I quickly went downstairs to check it myself. True enough, Meredy is here. As I made my way to the side of the sofa where King Makarov sits down, I tried to read Meredy's impression. Her chin is held up proudly but her eyes... looked... afraid? I don't know.

King Makarov had already came down and was now sitting in front of Meredy when she looked serious.

"I have already done my job, King Makarov. I have tracked the Alpha and also saw the Blendy Cousins with him." she spoke and King Makarov nodded.

"Alright. But did you saw Juvia?" he asked and Meredy shook her head gently.

"Although I overheard from their conversation about her, even if they didn't specifically mentioned her name." Meredy answered.

"Did they see you?" Wendy asked and Meredy shook her head—hesitatingly.

"Do you think they'll move to another place?" I asked and Meredy nodded.

"But I am utterly positive that if they moved to another place, it wouldn't be far away from the previous one. They kidnapped someone. It would be hard for them to move from one place to another." Meredy said.

"Ok then! Natsu, Gray, Jellal, go with Meredy to go save Juvia." King Makarov said. They nodded.

"Wait! Juvia is my friend, I can help with them." I spoke and King Makarov only sighed.

"Ok the—"

"How about me, grandpa? I wanna come too!" Wendy pleaded.

"No, Wendy it's dangerous." her father, Silver warned.

"But I can heal them in case they got wounded." Wendy pouted. King Makarov sighed again.

"Ok, ok. You may go. As long as you stay with your brothers." King Makarov said and Wendy cheered.

Meredy stood up and bowed down to King Makarov.

When we are all outside the gate, we followed Meredy quietly to the woods, to the side of the castle.

"Is it far?" Natsu asked.

"It may take time to go there. But it's only two forests ahead." Meredy answered.

"You said that you track base on strong feelings of each other? Then who did you got to track the Alpha?" I asked. Meredy stopped.

"It's me." she answered bluntly and then continued on walking.

"So... that means you and the Alpha shared strong feelings for each other, then?" Natsu asked.

"Let's just say that it is strong enough to track him." Meredy growled a bit in his last word.

I wonder... what kind of feelings is she talking about?

A/N: Halo! I've been pretty busy with my new fanfic in Wattpad yay. It's not Fairy Tail related though. It';s a Yu Yu Hakusho fanfic. Heard od that anime? Ohhhh I really like Hiei lol. So yeah, thank you for all of those who answered my question in the last chapter. I'm really trying to get some ideas from my friends but the only things they knew is 'vampires' and 'werewolves'.

So this is my reply to Apitatoor: Your 1-3 questions are coming up on the next chapters (yeah I'm starting to build up the thrill for the moment) and about your 4th question of what creature Ur is... she's a human. Purely human. I cannot make her a vampire nor a werewolf because of the fight between werewolves and vampires.(if she's a werewolf, it would be a huge disadvantage to Gray. and same to Lyon if the situation is vice versa. she loves Lyon & Gray equally and I would like to make her character in here equal too.)

Thanks guys for those who favorited, followed and reviewed!

P.S. I don't make these kind of fanfictions (lemon and stuff) to tell my experiences or whatsoever—cause I seriously don't have one and I'm not even interested to have one yet cause I'm still young (younger than you thought). I make these kind of fanfics because I saw in the internet (and also in this site) that many are doing it so I said to myself "why not give it a try?". I thought of it as a challenge. I even give warnings every time it's already lemon for those who didn't want one. The story (fiction) might be the basis of the author's personality. But fanfics have and fiction books are different. Fan fictions are based off on a different character while fiction books are based off—mostly—through the author.
