The Four Maidens

Chapter 29

Erza turn to look at the clock it read 12.58; she had been tossing and turning in her bed but couldn't seem to get any sleep. Everything that has been going on the past couple of days just seems to not let her rest. She sighed.

Knock knock...

She sat up and look around at the empty room that's when she spotted a figure at a window. Erza recognised it pretty quickly; it was Jellal.

Opening the window and allowing him in she noticed that he look like he just came back from a long journey, he was wearing his usual long hood and was holding his belongings in his hand.

"Jellal, what are you doing here?"

"I have information on Gray's whereabouts,"

"That's great but it's one in the morning, why do you look like you just came back from a mission." She pointed at his bag.

"I did,"

"When did you leave for the mission we just came back,"

"I had to do something,"

"Whatever it is, it must be important, your eyes are red you need to rest we can talk about this in the morning,"

"About that..." She looked at him waiting for him to continue.

"I was hoping to stay with you for the night..." He said it quite calmly compared to racing heart.

"Sure," she answered simply.

"The sofa is over there," she didn't want to ask anymore, she felt bad for prying into his personal life last time. Jellal was glad she didn't ask anymore.

"STOP IT!!!!" They snapped their head towards the door.

"What the-"

"That sounds like Gray!" They both ran out of the room towards Juvia's room.

On the other side of the dorm Lucy what's up writing in her journal when she heard the loud bang.

"Ah!" It scared her making her drop her pen.

"What was that?"

"I don't know."

"Wanna go check it ou- WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM!" it was Natsu who answered Lucy, he was sleeping in her bed with Happy next to him.

"I was here the whole time, you should turn the light off I can't fall asleep." He pulled the blanket back up.

"No, you won't! Get out of here you jerk!" She tried to drag him out.

"Lucy your writing kind of stinks," Happy said as he read her papers.

"Put those down!"

"Why are you here?"

"It's cuz Natsu misses you," Happy teased.

"Shut it cat!" She looked over at Natsu who looked away and stayed quiet. His silence made her actually consider what Happy said.

"Y-you're... not..."

"With everything going on with Gray and the guild, I couldn't let stay by yourself,"

"There really is a thoughtful side to you," she smiled at him.

"STOP IT!!"

"What was that?"

"That Gray!" Natsu got up and ran out, with his sharp hearing, he found Erza and Jellal already there. Lucy and Happy right behind.

"Juvia!" Erza called.
