For two days the Strauss siblings were in the cell and were fed the prison meals. Mira had her siblings to eat more than she did and the same with the blankets that they were given. She would have them to use hers but they would always find a way to sneak over to her while she slept with all three blankets and they would keep each other warm at night.

On the third day they were there Mira noticed that there weren't any guards around and the guard that was at their cell was standing bored at the fact he was babysitting three kids. Mira looked at him then looked at her siblings who were in a corner trying to keep warm.

Mira got an idea then went to them and whispered.

"We're getting out today."

They looked at her whispering.

"Really?"

"Yes but stay quiet."

They nodded and Mira went to the guard who had his back turned. Mira glanced and saw that the key was at his waist then she looked up at him.

"I hope you have a nice break, sir."

With that the guard was sitting sleeping then Elfman looked at Mira.

"Dear sister, what did you do?"

Mira reached for the key and grabbed it. She saw that the lock was too high for her to reach then she looked at Lisanna.

"Lisanna, do you think you can reach the lock?"

"I think so."

Lisanna went to her and climbed on Mira's back but it was still too high. Elfman went to them and was on all fours with Mira on his back. Lisanna unlocked the door then they got out.

Mira saw that they were the only prisoners in the cell then they mad a run for it being very careful not to make a sound or get caught by the guards.

When they made it outside they ran to get away from the place. When they made it to a forest, they didn't have their map so they didn't where where to go or where they were. They soon found a cave and went to it.

"Dear sister, what did you do to that guard?"

Mira looked at them.

"I put him under a sleeping spell. I only had him under the spell until we were out of that place."

"Wow dear sister, you're the man!"

Elfman and Lisanna both hugged Mira who was quite surprised then she smiled at them hugging them back.

"Alright, you two let's go."

"Right."

They left out of the cave and began to walk more through the forest.

While they were walking through the forest stomachs were growling. Mira remembered the last time she stole something they were found by the council but she was going to at least do it again just to feed her younger siblings. As they walked through the forest Mira had her siblings to stopped and she kept walking saying that she will return. Instead of dong what she said they followed with her. Mira stopped and looked at them and frowned.

"I told you two to stay back."

"No, I don;t want to go through that again."

Mira couldn't blame them for that. The last time she left them somewhere and left to get food for them they were found out by the council, she couldn't risk them going through that nightmare again They then froze when they heard voices and Mira shoved her younger siblings behind a boulder but didn't hide herself then soon she saw an old man coming her was. He was holding a bag of food and he looked up at her.

"Who are you little girl?"

"Mira."

"Why are you out here alone?"

"I don't have to tell you, old man."

The old man looked at her then noticed that she had a couple scratches and a bruise on her shoulder.

"Where did you get those scratches?"

"Not telling."

The old man closed his eyes.

"You said your name is Mira, so you're the girl that had two younger siblings and were being held captive."

"How did you know?"

Just then Lisanna and Elfman both came from their hiding spot and Lisanna looked at him.

"Are you going to take us back, mister?"

"Don't know why I would do something like that."

Just then they looked up to see the council guards running to them. Their leader was calling out to them.

"There they are!"

Lisanna and Elfman were scared and Mira had them behind her. When guards got to them the commander glared at them.

"You three are coming back with us right now!"

The old man looked at him.

"What did they do?"

"They ran away from the council. Let's take them."

Mira had her siblings away from the guards glaring at them.

"Don't touch them!"

The leader hit Mira in the head causing her to fall to the ground then he smirked.

"Stop with the tough act. As the eldest, you should be an example that listens to your elders."

The old man glared as he looked at the leader and speak while growing larger.

"Listen to your elders, huh? In that case, listen to me. You have no right to mess with them."

"Do you know them?"

"Yes, they're my grandchildren."

"They are?"

"Yes do you know how much it hurts me to see my children or grandchildren be harmed in any way. If you don't, I'll show you myself."

The leader was scared and he and his guards began to make a run for it. Mira, Elfman and Lisanna looked at the old who had shrunk back to his normal size then Lisanna asked.

"Are you really our grandfather?"

The old man smiled.

"I will be if you want me too."

The Strauss siblings smiled and went to him. They began to walk together and then Mira looked at him.

"Who are you?"

"I am Makarov I just came out the meeting with the council. I really don't know why we had to meet but at this point, I'm glad we did."

He looked at them.

"Who are you three?"

Mira smiled.

"I'm Mirajane, this is my brother Elfman and this is younger sister Lisanna."

"Nice to meet you sir."

"Nice to meet you three as well. We must hurry back to the city of Magnolia before we bump into trouble again."

"Yes sir!"

They began to walk to the way of the city.
