Hey guys! I hope you liked that last chapter! Like I continuously mention, I'm terrible at fight scenes, so don't hate! I'm trying my best. Oh my god, I forgot to tell you, but I'm starting high school in September! I might not be able to update regularly, or as often as I do anymore. Nevertheless, I will try. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter!

The sword goes all the way through her, and blood starts pouring out of her wound.

"Why…" I whisper.

I crawl over to her wound and try to pull out the sword as painlessly as I can. I feel tears in my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall, in front of this many people.

"Hold on, Alex. I'll help you," I mumble, trying to build up as much magic as I can.

I check her pulse, and it's extremely faint, but it's still there.

If I hurry, I can still save her.

I put my hands over her wound and try to heal it, but it's too deep for me to heal.

Mai puts her hand on my shoulder. "Crystal, we should leave, before Creation wakes up."

I nod, but continue trying to heal her.

"Unknown, can you help get her back to the guild? Like open a portal or something?" I asked, trying not to choke on my words.

I see him nod, out of the corner of my eye, and within a few seconds the portals open.

"How do we get her through without hurting her?" I ask, looking at her lifeless body and then at the portal.

Please make it Alex. Survive!

Somehow we manage to get her through the portal and into the guild infirmary.

We place her on a bed, and hand her over to Porlyusica.

Everyone else leaves, but I'm allowed to stay until night fall, although it's barely sunset.

I grab Alex's hand and squeeze it. "I know you'll be able to make it through this. Please come back to me alive, there's so many more memories left for us to make…."

I trail off, to scared to say anything else, for fear I might start crying again.

Porlyusica joins me at her side. "I think it's about time you leave. She'll be fine by tomorrow, so don't worry."

I nod and give her hand one last squeeze before heading out of the room.

When I open the door, the guild seems just as lively as before.

I try to make my way over to the Unknown, Mai, and Rin, sitting down next to them.

"Crystal, how's Alex?" Mai asks, a little concerned.

"Porlyusica says she'll be fine by tomorrow," I reply.

"That's great!" Mai exclaims.

The Unknown seems indifferent about it, and Rin looks overjoyed.

"Oh yea, I thought you might want to hear about it," Rin says, smiling.

"About what?" I ask.

"That guy with blue hair is going to be joining our guild," Mai says.

"You mean Katashi? Why would he want to join our guild?" I ask.

Mai shrugs. "Who knows."

"When will he be here?" I ask.

"He's already here," Mai says. "He came a while ago, asking to see you."

"I see," I mumble. Why would he want to see me?

"He's over at the bar, I think you should go talk to him," Rin says, gesturing for me to go.

"Sure, I'll be back soon then," I say, getting up.

I walk over to the bar, where I can see Katashi getting his Fairy Tail emblem. I wait off to the side, until he's done. He turns around and seems quite surprised to see me standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Katashi asks.

I shrug. "I could ask you the same thing. I was told you wanted to see me, is something the matter?"

"Yeah, sorry about the trouble I caused," Katashi says, rubbing his head.

"Wait, I'm confused about something too. Why did you tell Creation to make me talk to my friends and then feel bad that he would kill me?" I ask.

"You heard that?!" Katashi exclaims.

"Yea, I did," I reply. "Are you going to answer me or not?"

"Well, I've never liked the thought of killing hostages. I couldn't bear the thought of seeing that again," He explains.

"And by the way, why'd you push me when Deity came forward?" I ask.

"So many questions," Katashi chuckles, lightly.

"That was only like two.." I mutter.

"Yeah, father planned on killing you anyways. He doesn't let go of his hostages," Katashi says, solemnly.

"So, you're joining the guild?" I ask.

"Yea, I don't have anywhere else to go after all," Katashi says. "Everyone else was gone when I went outside."

"So you came to apologize, is that all?" I ask. "I need to head back soon, before it gets too late."

"Yeah, that was it. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," Katashi says, waving at me as he left.

Why would he give Creation the idea, even if he knew Creation would've killed me from the beginning. That guy, I swear…

I head to my apartment, which isn't too far from the guild. I go to my room, kick off my shoes, and lie down in bed.

I doze off almost the second my head hits the pillow.

When I wake in the morning, with a sudden jolt looking at the clock which reads 10

Dammit, I slept in!

I curse under my breath as I struggle to change and hastily pull on my shoes. I rush to the guild, ignoring everyone that's there, and immediately go to the infirmary.

I let out a sigh as I see Alex sitting up in her bed, reading a magazine.

"Alex, I'm so glad you're okay," I say, relaxing.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Alex asks, smiling.

"You got stabbed through the stomach," I point out.

Alex rubs her head. "I did?"

"Nevermind, I'm just glad you're fine," I say. "When are you going to be able to leave?"

"Porlyusica says I can leave later today," Alex says. "Don't you have anywhere to be?"

"Not at the moment," I reply. "Why?"

"Mai said she was looking for you earlier, she said to tell you if you came by," Alex smiles. "Apparently it was important, I think you should go check with her."

"But what about you?" I ask. "Won't you get bored?"

"Nope, I'll be fine," Alex says, returning her attention to her magazine. "You should go to her."

"Well I guess I'll go then," I reply. "I'll come by later."

Alex nods and waves me towards the door.

I leave the infirmary, and look around the guild for Mai.

What could she possibly want?

I spot her sitting at a booth with Lucy, Erza, Mira, and Rin.

As I head over, I feel someone grab my hand.

I turn and come face-to-face with a man in a tuxedo. He has spiky orange hair and wears glasses.

He looks familiar.

"Ummm… Can I help you?" I ask, taking my hand back.

"No, I'm just a spirit of Lucy's," The guy says. "My names Leo. I thought I'd come say hi to you and your dark friend over there."

"Oh, well I'm Crystal," I say, holding out my hand. "Nice to meet you."

Leo takes my hand and places it to his lips. "The pleasure is all mine."

I tug my hand back and hide it in my sleeve. Before I can say anything, I feel two people brush against me on either side.

Katashi stands on my left side, while Natsu is on my right.

"Leo, we'd like to have a word with you," Natsu says.

They drag off Leo before he can say anything and seem to be giving him a warning.

I could take this chance to leave. I think slowly inching backwards, but it takes me too long and the guys come back.

Natsu and Katashi stand on either side of Leo and seem to be keeping their eyes on him.

"Anyways, Crystal," Leo says, unfazed by whatever Natsu and Katashi may have said to him before. "I hear you left the guild for a while."

"Well yea, for a bit-" Before I can continue, someone else appears next to me, interrupting me

Is against the law for me to talk to Leo or something. I mentally sigh.

"Hey Crystal," The person next to me says. I turn to see Mai smiling at me. "Me and the girls are planning to spend the day together. We want to know if you'd come with us."

"Sure, why not," I reply. I turn to go with Mai, but Leo grabs her hand.

"Hello there, Mai," Leo says. "It's been awhile, hasn't it?"

Before Leo can turn his attention back to me, I whisper a quick "He's your problem now," and leave to go to the girls.

I need to talk to Katashi and Natsu now, don't I?

"Hey guys!" I exclaim, as I near the table.

"Hey Crystal!" Lucy says cheerfully.

"Mai told me you guys were planning to spend the day together," I say.

"Yeah we are. We're gonna ask a few other girls and just hang out," Erza says. "We do need a break with all these guys always fighting."

"Oh yeah, sorry about Leo," Lucy apologizes. "He comes here whenever he feels like it, and tends to flirt with new girls often."

"It's no problem," I smile. "Anyways, who else are you going to ask?"

"Probably all the girls that are in the guild in the moment," Mira says.

"I see," I smile.

This might be the first time I've ever been invited to something like this.

Well, that was a boring chapter wasn't it? That weird flirting part with Leo (Was that even flirting?) yea that was my friends idea. I don't know why I actually put it in, but yea. I owe you guys another chapter now, too. Anyways I'll see you guys next time. Bye!
