Next chapter for, "A Cold Request", and I just realized that I have been calling my story, "The Cold Request", instead of the real title. xD It's actually pretty funny, but please forgive me for my little mistake. ^-^
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter of, "A Cold Request". (Nailed it! x)

(At Mira's house)
Mira lied there, on her couch, waiting for Wendy. She wondered endlessly about what was taking her so long. Maybe Wendy got distracted? Mira sighed as she gazed at her now cold, chocolate chip cookies.
"What a shame..they were her favorite kind, too.." Mira stated, thinking that Wendy blew her off for something else.
Out of the blue, Mira's door was knocked on violently, making her get up.
"I'm coming!" Mira hollered as she rushed to open the door. It was Natsu and Lucy, and they looked..pretty tired.
"Mira!" Natsu yelled loudly, causing Mira to cover her ears.
"Y-yes!?" Mira asked, uncovering her ears to hear what Natsu had to say.
"We can't find Wendy!" Natsu exclaimed, making Mira's heart stop.
"Oh no..she couldn't of.." Mira thought and ran out of her house as fast as possible.
(Back to the secret room where Erza and Wendy are)
"Ohh, I hope I'll make it in time!" The voice exclaimed, carrying kitchen items.
The voice had almost forgotten about lunch for the betrayers! It would be horrible if any of them starved to death! The voice sped up due to that horrible thought, and it stopped at the fifth door, where Erza was held captive for the time being. Though, Erza was the only betrayer at the moment..the voice wasn't sure about Wendy yet, but it did know that Wendy was forced to do the betraying.
"I'm coming in~!" The voice said in a sing-song voice and opened the door.
As soon as the voice opened the door, it dropped most of its kitchen supplies on the ground. It was so horrible..this image..
"Erza! Wendy!" The voice yelled as it ran over to them. "Are you okay!?"
More blood surrounded the voice's feet, it seemed that one of these girls was bleeding to death.. The voice got closer, and held both of their wrists, checking their pulses.
"..Their pulse.." The voice stated as tears dripped off its cheek.
(In the Fairy Tail guild)
"Miraaa! Wait up! Where are you going?!" Natsu asked as he chased after her.
Mira wouldn't answer, she had to check to see if Wendy was where she thought she was.
"MIRAAAA~!" Lucy yelled, making Mira run faster.
"Please don't be that!" Mira thought hopefully as she walked into..the bathroom?
"Uhh..Mira?" Lucy asked, wondering why she went in there.
"Maybe she had to take a dump?" Natsu suggested with a shrug.
"Nope, not in there." Mira said with a big smile after she exited the restroom. "Phew, I was worried there for a minute!"
"What exactly did you think was so horrible!?" Lucy thought comically as a sweat-drop dripped down her cheek.
(Back to Wendy and Erza)
"Thank goodness!" The voice sighed in relief. "They were still alive, but barely."
The voice tended to the girls wounds, and noticed something odd about Wendy. Her throat was extremely puffy and red. Why would that be? The voice didn't want to wake them up though, they needed rest. So, it let the question linger for the time being.
"I might as well cook something." The voice said as it grabbed its apron, which was stained in blood. "Jeez, I'll have to clean that out later."
The voice then grabbed a small rice cooker, and shoved some rice in it.
"I hope they'll be able to eat this.." The voice stated as it waited impatiently for the rice to cook. "Ooh! I should cut some pineapple for the rice!"
The voice jumped up giddily, seeing that she might as well do SOMETHING while she was waiting for the rice to finish. It grabbed the knife carefully out of their apron pocket, and picked a pineapple out of their kitchen bag.
"Cutting time~!" The voice sang, causing Wendy's eyes to open due to the noise.
(In the storage room for drinks) (Not in the secret passage, just outside of it.)
"Mira, we told you all ready, Wendy isn't in here." Natsu reminded, watching Mira pace around in deep thought.
"I know...I'm just thinking.." Mira laughed nervously.
"About what?" Natsu asked, tilting his head to the right in a cute manner.
"W-well..I have no idea where she could be.." Mira admitted, feeling slightly stupid.
"Don't feel down, Mira. None of us do." Lucy said, hoping to quell Mira's apparent embarrassment.
"Anyway..how about we search for Wendy..separately?" Mira suggested.
"Ah, that's a good idea!" Lucy praised and looked straight at Mira. "I'll search the town, and Natsu, you can check outside the town."
"But that's everywhere!" Natsu exclaimed, placing his hands on his hips angrily.
"Wow..you're really getting smarter.." Lucy sighed, realizing there might be an argument about who was searching where.
"AHHHHHH~!" An unknown voice screamed, startling the three searchers.
"What was that?" Natsu instinctively asked, looking around the room skeptically.
"I think it came from there." Lucy pointed, but inwardly sighed. "Though, I must be deaf, because it's just a wall."
"Yeah! It's just a wall, come on, let's go." Mira urged, trying to get them out.
"Wait, there's a rip on the wall." Natsu pointed out, making Lucy look closer.
Lucy cocked her eyebrow as she tilted her head to the right in mere confusion. She then grabbed at the little piece of wallpaper sticking out, and pulled it, causing the wallpaper to rip off instantly.
"Ah!" Lucy shouted, slightly deterred as the wallpaper fell to the ground.
"Hey! Is that a tunnel?" Natsu questioned, mostly looking at Mira.
"Actually, this is private property, and I would appreciate-." Mira tried to say, but got rudely interrupted by Natsu.
"Mira, we need to go in, someone's in trouble." Natsu said, and walked right into the passage. Lucy of course, followed right behind Natsu.
"Wait!" Mira pleaded and ran after them to stop their possibly new discovery.
The two detectives ran straight ahead, turning their heads every once in a while to see if there was a door. They then stopped and listened for another scream, sadly there was no scream to be heard. So they continued on and opened the many doors, only to see a tiny room with nobody in it. Just as they were about to give up, Natsu abruptly stopped, and grabbed onto Lucy's arm.
"What?" Lucy asked as she stepped back to see what Natsu was pointing at.
"Lucy..look." Natsu pointed more emphatically to get his point across. "The person must be in there!"
Lucy nodded to show that she understood, and even thought it was kind of creepy to see blood all over the door and floor, they broke the door down anyway. Now with further examination, Lucy and Natsu discovered such a terrible answer to their case. Their mouths dropped, and their eyes widened in shock. The truth..was..too much.
"L-Lisanna.." Natsu stuttered as tears forced they way down his tan cheeks. "..W-why?"
"Lisanna.." Lucy whispered softly as droplets of tears fell on the floor.
There Lisanna was, holding a bloody knife right in front of Wendy; Who seemed to be shivering and shaking in fear. What did it for Natsu was that his friend, Wendy, was wrapped in bandages and bleeding immensely. Natsu stepped back, unable to absorb all of this anxiety and pain in such short time.
"..ngh...nn..." Natsu noised, trying to contain his pain. But it was all too much.. "GAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Natsu's cry roared through the guild, making everyone run and search to find the source.
"Natsu.." Lisanna said softly, not knowing what to do.
The dragon mage, who always laughed things off, was right in the middle of the room..crying his eyes out. It was horrible to bear, seeing such a good person be in so much pain and agony in such a short time. It was utterly horrible to watch.
Lisanna the murderer? Natsu didn't want to believe this, he prayed for this not to be true. But, to no avail, his hopes were stomped on. Even though all odds pointed to Lisanna being the murderer, Natsu still had one last shred of hope. He just had to hope that this was all just a big misunderstanding.
Don't worry, the story is not over yet. I would never leave it like this. (That would just be cruel, xD)
Anyway, just wait patiently, (If you can.), and the next chapter will be up soon.
