I'm back! This is chapter 14 and I hope that you all R&R and I shall see you at the bottom of the page.

POV: Lucy

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

I stare at my best friend from the top of my book, well more like glaring at her, and watch her talk with Lisanna over the upcoming test scores that should be out by tomorrow. I pretend to turn the page in my book and shift my gaze over to Gajeel who's across the room sitting at his desk talking with Gray and Erza looking as bored and annoyed as always. I try to put two and two together wondering how long this has been going on between them when I feel a hand lightly tap my shoulder.

Turning to look behind me I find Natsu leaning over his desk toward me, his face only inches away making me squeak a bit, "If you keep on glaring at them like that you're going to blow your cover," he whispers harshly over the loud roar of the classroom while sneaking a glance at Levy and then at Gajeel, "You're practically breaking rules one through three,"

Rolling my eyes I turn myself all the way around so that now I'm facing him completely, "What if I end up breaking all three rules?" I challenge but he doesn't even flinch.

He smiles knowingly and then holds up four fingers, "Rule number four," I hold in the urge to groan in annoyance, "This is a really important rule in case you break any other rule, which is don't get caught," he whispers then leaning back into his seat tucking his hands behind his head lazily, he looks at me as I stare at him.

Don't get caught, how simple is that? He could have given me that rule a long time ago and saved me all that worrying but waited until now when I found out that my best friend might be dating one of the bad boys in school. Although, when I think about it, this case isn't as serious as to what I wanted to investigate previously, something I am still trying to uncover.

With a huff of agitation I turn around in my seat thinking it unnecessary to start a scene so early in the morning. His hand once again grabs my shoulder and just when I'm about to push it away I feel myself falling to the floor. I land on my butt a bit confused as I look up to find a chair fly over my head crashing through the window and that's when I notice the disarray that the room has turned into.

Books, papers, backpacks, pencils, anything else you can think of, goes flying across the room threatening to knock someone out. Scared out of my mind I search around to notice that everyone is fighting with one another throwing blind punches hitting random people and random yelling. I turn to Natsu, who's still sitting next to me, and watch him laugh like a maniac with a weird gleam in his eyes.

He stands suddenly clenching his hands into fists, his amber eyes burning with anticipation, "I'm fired up now," he says before jumping into the brawl of all the students abandoning me without looking back.

I wildly search the room still on the floor until I find a clear path that leads to the nearest door and to safety. Taking in a deep breath I get on my hands and knees and crawl my way through the debris that makes its way into my path. I get hit with a few erasers and notebooks and my hand gets stepped on once. At one point I end up feeling like a soldier out at war crawling around in mud avoiding gunshots and bombs. I even have to crawl over a few unconscious bodies, but I keep on moving unable to fathom on staying a second longer within this war zone.

It gets worse, Yukio's voice swims through my head like a taunting chant. I internally cry knowing that what I had witnessed at my grandfather's house could not compare to what is happening right now. I eventually reach the door, which I thank the heavens for making it there alive and slightly uninjured; I rip the door open and sprint my way out before slamming the dreaded thing behind me.

I bend over resting my hands on my thighs trying to catch my breath and slow my racing hear before I turn back to the door. The noises from within are muffled and when I look back inside through the small window I almost get a heart attack at the sight before me. Tables are overturned, bodies are strewn throughout the classroom, people continue to fight on amongst each other and all the while I wonder how this room could ever be fixed in time before class started.

"Lucy, what are you doing outside of class," with a start, I turn to find Mr. Clive just arriving with a stack of papers in his hands. Something hits the door behind me and I tense feeling the door hit me, "Not again," he grumbles with a curse, and without another word rushes into the room closing the door behind him shutting out the yells coming from within.

Relieved that a well qualified adult now had this situation under control, I turn away from the door to find Cana standing behind me looking a bit dazed. She's wearing almost the same thing she had been wearing the last time I saw her, but she looks different. Her naturally smooth hair is a bit tousled almost as if she just got out of bed and her clothes are a bit wrinkled and dirty. Also, she looks awfully pale as if she was sick and her eyes seem a bit distant as she looks at me.

"Cana, you're back," I exclaim moving towards her and she stares at me confused, "I was afraid that something bad had happened to you when you left my grandfather's house," she takes a small step back, her face contorted in confusion seeming as if trying to process what I'm telling her.

"What?" she looks down at the floor seeming to be searching for an answer to an unasked question before shaking her head and smiling up at me, "Lucy," she says a bit relieved, "Sorry, my mind went running off there," she laughs, though it sounds a bit weak and nervous.

The pained anxious feeling I've been having since she left that night has now returned again as I watch her closely, "Cana, what happened after you left," I unconsciously ask unable to hold myself back and as soon as the words leave my mouth no soon do the warning bells start ringing vigorously inside my head much louder than usual.

Her smile falters and her eyes suddenly darken. She starts to shake her head in horror and before I believe she can start screaming, Gildarts opens the door to the classroom and the silence emitting from it is a sign that the classroom should be in order by now, "Come on in ladies, class has already started,"

Cana quickly ducks into the classroom without another word to me and I follow noticing instantly that everyone is smiling and probably talking about the recent brawl, and surprisingly the room is clean as if nothing had happened. They all smile and greet Cana but no one asks what happened or why she had been absent. They act as if nothing had happened and then I turn to look at Natsu, who is smiling brightly and covered in an endless amount of bruises that I wonder how he's conscious, much less be able to smile. When his eyes lock with mine he seems to see something on my expression and turns to where Cana has taken her seat. His expression hardens and when he turns to look at me his amber eyes darken in an unknown anger.

After about a few seconds his expression softens and he tilts his head toward my seat. I walk on over to my desk and take a seat just as Mr. Clive starts on his lesson which I hardly listen to. For the rest of the day I watch Cana go on through her normal routine and that uncomfortable feeling I've had only grows stronger. Plus the loud warning bells have not once silenced since I asked Cana what had happened.

What's going on around here?
