The next day they woke up and got back on the trail of their adventure. As they were walking Lisanna and Elfman noticed that Mira wasn't talking much wasn't paying too much attention to them like she always did. She was walking ahead of them and was looking at the map. Lisanna and Elfman looked at each other and Lisanna whispered to Elfman.

"Brother, have you noticed how quiet Mira is being?"

He whispered back to her.

"I noticed. Maybe she just has something on her mind."

"Should we ask?"

"I don't see why not."

They both looked at Mira then Lisanna spoke up.

"Mira, we were wondering something."

Mira stopped and looked at them.

"What is it?"

Elfman looked at her.

"You've been quiet since we continued on this adventure. Is something bothering you?"

"No. I just didn't have anything to say."

"It's not like you to be quiet, it's creepy."

Elfman regretted saying that when Mirajane's face was inches from his and had a glare on.

"Are you saying I scare you when I'm quiet?"

Elfman was scared and Lisanna looked up at her.

"No Mira, it's just that you're never quiet."

Mira backed away from them looking away.

"That's true but I have nothing to say."

They continued on their journey then after a while they felt their stomachs growl. Mira knew she would have to find something for her siblings to eat. She looked around the area and didn't find anything. They had spent most of the day in the forest walking to the mountains.

As they were walking Mira stopped and looked behind her and saw Elfman but she didn't see Lisanna and frowned.

"Elfman, where is Lisanna?"

"She just went to go to the bathroom."

Mira clenched her fist.

"She left without telling me and you didn't say anything?"

Elfman was scared.

"She just left, that's why I was walking a little slower."

Mira folded her arms.

"Well we'll have to wait until she gets here."

"Okay."

After a short while there was no sign of Lisanna coming back and Mira became furious.

"How long does it take for one person to go to the bathroom?! Come on, Elfman!"

"Okay."

They went back but soon heard a scream and ran to it. They soon saw Lisanna in a grasp of a Vulcan monkey. Mira and Elfman looked up to see that Lisanna couldn't really get out. Mira glared at the giant monkey.

"Hey you big ape, let my little sister go!"

"No way, she's mine!"

"Give her back!"

"I said she's mine, so she's mine!"

Mira went to get something then she soon came back with a tree branch and patted it in her hand.

"I'm going to say this one more time, give me back my sister."

"No way!"

Mira ran to the monkey. The monkey tried to punch her with his free hand but missed and she ran up his arm and when she got to his shoulders she swung the stick as hard as she could. The stick hit the monkey in the head so hard it knocked him out cold. Mira then had her younger siblings with her as they went back to walking.

Lisanna was happy but she knew that Mira was mad at her as well for leaving without telling her she where she was going.

They then stopped and Lisanna spoke first.

"I'm sorry, Mira. I should have told you."

Elfman lowered his head.

"I'm sorry too, for not saying anything."

Mira looked at her two younger siblings.

"I'll let it go this time but you both need to understand that it's dangerous out here and that it's just us. We need to stay together."

They both nodded then they kept going.

As they were walking Mira forgot that they haven't eaten anything so then she stopped to see an old shack. They have been walking for a long time and they also needed to eat something. Mira looked at her younger siblings.

"Alright you two, I want you both to stay in that shack."

Elfman and Lisanna just stared at her then Mira had a creepy smirk on her face while glaring at them.

"I'm not joking, get into the shack or I'll lock you in there."

Both of them scurried into the shack and Mira looked at them.

"I'll be back soon, in the mean time stay there and be quiet."

Mira left them before they could ask her anything.

"I wonder where she is going?"

"I don't know but did she really have to threat us like that?"

With Mira she was running through the forest but then she stopped to see a small town up ahead. She went to it and began to look through the town to see if she spotted or smelled food anywhere. She soon saw a bakery wagon. She was about to go to it but then she spotted a man near a corner with his arms folded and had his head down. Mira saw a logo on his arm and frowned.

'He's a member of the council. His eyes are closed and no one is paying much attention to me, I should be okay then.'

Mira simply walked up to the wagon while the baker had his back turned and she grabbed three breads and took off. The moment she turned to the corner the baker saw her and began to chase her.

"Get back here, you little thief!"

Mira kept running and she was able to outrun anyone who chased after her. She managed to stay out of sight and then headed back to her younger siblings.

It was sunset when she got to them. She didn't tell them that she stole food to feed them. After they had eaten Mira sat in the middle of her siblings and they leaned on her her.

"Get some sleep, you two. We have another long walk tomorrow."

"Okay."

They both went to sleep. Mira just looked at them but she knew that it would now be harder to keep out of sight. She remembered that the map she had drawn out was a route that went through the small town.

'Oh no. I have to change that but I would have to do it in the morning before they wake up. I just hope they didn't tell that council guy about what I did. I don't think they know who I am sure we'll be safe at least for now.'

Mira sighed then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The next morning Mira woke up early and saw that her siblings were gone. She stood up then ran outside only to be grabbed by someone. Mira looked up to see that her siblings were also being held in place then she looked up to see the man that she saw the day before.

"How did you find us?"

The man smirked.

"I followed you. Now you're going to come with us."

The men took all three children to the train station and they all road on the train. Elfman and Lisanna didn't know what was going on and they stayed close to Mira.

"Big sister, what's going on?"

"I don't know where they are taking us."

Lisanna leaned on Mira.

"I don't care where they take us, as long as we're together."

All three of them were in the same booth with one of the guards who was keeping a close eye on them.

The train soon came to a large castle looking place. Then they went in with the man that brought them there. When they got inside they were put into one of the cells that were there. The man then left them alone and the kids were sitting close together.

Elfman looked at the floor.

"What's going to happen to us?"

Lisanna started to sniffle.

"I'm scared."

Mira looked at the floor then brought her younger siblings into a strong embrace.

"It's okay. As long as we're together, we'll be fine."

They stayed like that, hugging onto each other in a corner of the cell that they were in and didn't move.

That night as Elfman and Lisanna were sleeping Mira had them to sleep together with the blankets that were given to them she had also given them her blanket. At first they protested but she told them that it wasn't a question. Ever since they arrived to the place they weren't fed so they had to sleep the hunger off. Mira was still awake one, she was cold and two, she was thinking about how will she and her younger siblings survive in this place.

'I have to think of something, to help them keep some hope.'

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a voice from outside the cell. She heard every word that the two guards were saying.

"I wonder what they're going to make us do with the trio of brats."

"I bet they're going to be sent to an orphanage."

"Yeah, I heard that the older girl stole some things and had her younger siblings hide in the shack."

"For a little girl, she does have guts."

"Too bad because her little tough tomboy act isn't going to up for long."

The two guards laughed then they left.

Mira lowered her head. She knew that what she was afraid of was coming to happen. She couldn't bear it then she felt something touch her and looked to her side to see Lisanna looking at her and Elfman was on the other side.

"What are you two doing up?"

Lisanna looked at her.

"We heard you mumbling about how cold you were."

Elfman smiled.

"So we figured that three blankets are better than one."

Mira just looked at them trying not to cry then they laid together. As they laid together to go to sleep Mira was able to relax more now that she was with Lisanna and Elfman.

"Don't worry, I'll think of something to get us out of here."

With that all three of them were sleeping.
