Chapter 5

No one's POV

After a stunned silence Levy, Erza and Gray rush towards the returned members but hesitate when they realise not all the missing members had returned

"Where's Juvia? And Lucy?" Gray blurts out

"Why do you care?" Charle retorts, defending Lucy with vigour she usually reserves for Wendy

"Of course we care, we are their nakama" Erza replies trying not to sound angry

"Oh so nakama sit back and watch as they are attacked? You were even going to attack her" Wendy whispers trying not to remember the days before they left

"We didn't know what came over us, we couldn't help it, we shouldn't have done it, we should have asked why she did it, what happened before we flipped out. We are sorry for what we did" Levy cried

"We will forgive you but only because Lucy told us too and you want to know what happened?" Gajeel starts "what happened is …"

"Not for us to tell, it's up to Lucy who gets to know" Pantherlily quickly cuts in assuming Lucy wouldn't want the entire guild to know about her mistake the night before she left.

"WHERE ARE THEY?" Happy bursts in yelling searching the guild "there you are" Happy flies up to them crying something about Lucy

"We are sorry Happy but we don't know where she is, she has moved from the last place we were" Charle says hugging the crying Happy, as she felt it was the right thing to do

"Where is salamander I want to ask him something" Gajeel quizzes the Crying cat

"How should I know I haven't spoken to him since I found out Lucy left" Happy replies his voice full of anger "I've been staying at Lucy's place, it still smells of her so I can pretend she hasn't left" Happy added crying again

After they all managed to calm down the distraught cat they saw Natsu was now sat at the bar with Lisanna

"Urgh I can't believe he started dating her, everyone knows he loved Lucy" Erza spat

"He is dating Lisanna?" Gajeel spoke as he glanced at the obviously dating couple "that idiot" he muttered under his breath

"Hey Salamander" Gajeel bellowed down to the fire dragon slayer "I need to speak to you. NOW"

Once the two dragons slayers walked out of the guild Natsu turned to glare at Gajeel

"What are you doing showing your face around here after what you did to Lisanna" he roared

"How can I show my face? How can you show your face to anyone after you betrayed your mate" Gajeel snarled back

"I've never betrayed Lisanna" Natsu returned looking shocked

"You don't actually believe Lisanna is your mate do you? You have been drawn to Lucy for well forever. You used to sneak into her apartment to spend more time with her, she could calm you when no one else could, you would do anything to stop her crying, you would follow her on solo missions to keep an eye on her, How can you say she wasn't your soul mate. I could smell it on you for Pete sake" Gajeel hissed

"Lisanna is my mate, I loved her since we were children and anyway whatever I did to Lucy was her own doing" Natsu insisted as he ran away.

Gajeel's POV

How can he believe anybody but Lucy is his mate, why won't he admit he loves her? He needs to realise or he'll never be happy, and if he tries to mark Lisanna it would end badly.

"Gajeel?" Happy's voice breaks my train of thought "I was wondering if you could help me with something."

"What is it spit it out" I respond still annoyed he made me lose my thoughts

"Iwaswonderingifyoucouldturnthisintoanecklace" Happy mumbles as he thrust something into my hands

"What was that?" I ask looking at this weird stone he handed me

"I found it on that fishing trip I was on when you guys left, I wanted to make it into a necklace for Lucy for mother's day" Happy says looking down embarrassed "And I was hoping you could help me finish it please so I could carry it so if I ever bump into Lucy I can give it to her so she knows I care"

"She knows you still care happy, but I'll make it into a necklace for you anyway" I say as Happy smiles and gives me a quick hug before remembering I didn't like them and running away

At least I managed to improve the poor cats mood a bit, at least I think I did

~meanwhile inside the guild~

Natsu's POV

What is Gajeel on about Lisanna is my mate I love her. I mean yes I care about Lucy and I love spending time with her, and she smells great and she can calm me down but I don't love her she's just my best friend, I would always save her, I only followed her on missions cos I was worried I don't love her, no I love Lisanna

"Natsu can you come here for a moment" Lisanna calls to me

I mean I never used to go to her place that often, just after missions and when I was lonely and I never felt differently towards her except I was kinda more protective and my tummy felt weird when she was around and I always wanted to hug her and kiss her, shit I love Lucy not Lisanna

"Honey?" Lisanna's voice breaks through my thoughts

I turn to face Lisanna wondering why we were in the infirmary I was too lost in thought to realise this is where we were headed

"Lis why are we here?" I ask

"Oh, we needed to be alone for this" I look at her confused until I feel a pain in my hand

"Ouch what was that Lis" I screech in pain

"Oh nothing it's just a top up, you've started to remember. This is just to" I don't hear the rest as I fall to ground, my world goes black with only one though 'I love Lisanna, Lucy hurt her and must be killed'
