Third P.O.V
"There ain't no way! I can't work with somebody,I don't trust!" Natsu yelled,slamming his hand down on the table in front of Gajeel.
"What's the big deal? S'not like I wanna be your buddy." Gajeel replied,grinning devilishly.
"Ow,that's cold!" Natsu screeched,offended.
"The only reason I'm here is to get work. I hate this stupid guild,and everyone in it-" Gajeel stopped for a moment,and grinned manically at Lucy "-times are tough. I had no choice but to join!" Gajeel yelled in Natsu's face.
"Shut up,loser!"Natsu said,clenching his fists.
"Sorry,but Gajeel was having a hard time finding work and I couldn't just turn my back on him!"Juvia word vomited,vigorously sweating.
"I DONT WANT YOU TO THINK I HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM OR ANYTHING!" Juvia said towards Grey, waving her hands in the air.
"I know you kids don't like it,but as the master of this guild,its my duty to help those who've gone astray, find the right path. Give 'em a shot,you might find he's a nice guy! At least I hope so..."Master scolded,whispering the last part to himself.
" Do you see what he's done to Lucy? Look at her! She can't even move,and all she did was look at him! She's terrified! Not to mention her bruises still haven't healed! You expect-" "Erza!" Master interrupted her,earning the attention of the rest of the guild.
"I suggest you quiet down before I have to take measures. Everyone in Fairytail is family. I thought you of all people would know that." Master said,giving an ashamed look to Erza.
"I don't remember the last time 'family' beat one of their own until they coughed up blood. Till they had bruises that lasted months. Do you master?" Erza shot back.
"Erza,that is enough! Take Lucy to the infirmary,and leave at once!" Master yelled at her.
Everyone was shocked. Erza was always, one to respect master and listen to his orders.
Erza simply glared at the man. No matter what,she wouldn't leave Lucy alone. She trusted Mira,and everyone else,but who knows what Gajeel could do. She wasn't ready to ditch her best friend yet. Not now, not ever.
Erza stood up,as the rest of the guild was scared silent. She picked Lucy up,and held her bridal style. The way her bangs covered her eyes,gave the guild members chills.
"I will take Lucy to the infirmary,but I will not go home. I will die before I leave nakama alone,to suffer. Punish me all you want,but for as long as Lucy is here,I am right there with her."Erza said coldly,walking into the infirmary with Lucy in her arms.
"Gajeel,I apologize. She took it too far,and this isn't to go without punishment. You have my word. "Gramps said,disappointed.
"No worries,Gramps. Some people just don't know when to stop." Gajeel said grinning devilishly again.
Natsu and Grey glared at the new member. Something was up,and they knew it wasn't a good thing. Whatever it was,they were determined to find out what he was planning.

Erza walked into the infirmary,before setting Lucy down on one of the medical beds. Lucy was shaking,her eyes wide in fear,as she stared off into space.
"Lucy? Lucy,you have to snap out of it."Erza said softly and sweetly,trying to pull Lucy out of her trance.
"Lucy?"Erza question,as she grabbed the younger girl by her chin,and moved her so she was looking at Erza.
"Lucy,please snap out of it." Erza said softly,a look of concern on her face. At those words,Lucy seemed to snap out of her daze. Tears flooded to her eyes as she started sobbing.
"Oh,Lucy..." Erza said sadly,re-quiping out of her Heart Cruz armor and pulling Lucy in for a hug. The two sat for a while,Erza comforting Lucy,as she remembered the pain she was put through.

"Hey Lucy?"Erza asked quietly.
"Hm?"Lucy asked,her head in Erza's chest and her arms around Erza's waste as she enjoyed their moment together.
"Why don't we go get some cake? Cake always makes me feel better."Erza said,smiling slightly,as she hugged the younger woman. Lucy giggled.
"Of course Erza. I would go anywhere with you,any time of day."Lucy said,smiling into Erza's chest.
"All right then." Erza said,ready to get up.
"Wait." Lucy said,putting a hand on Erza's chest. Looking up at Erza,she continued. "Can we just...sit here,for a few more minutes?"
"Of course, Lucy. We can sit here as long as you'd like."Erza said,rewrapping her arms around the smaller girl,smiling to herself.
Its not that Lucy didn't want to get the cake. In fact,she enjoyed eating cake. Even more so when she was eating it with Erza. The way Erza would smile,and her cheeks would get a tad bit rosy. It was the mere fact that she loved being with Erza.
She loved being able to show she had at least some sort of love for the girl. If hugging was all she could do at that moment,she would do it in a heartbeat. She loved the scent,the Scarlett haired girl gave off. The way she smelled of new metal and cinnamon.
Lucy took a deep breath,savoring the hug. Erza's blouse being quite soft,and their position very comfortable.
Erza was enjoying the moment too. The way Lucy smelled like strawberries and vanilla, reminded her of strawberry cake.
"Hey Lucy?" Erza asked.
"Yes,Erza?" Lucy said blissfully.
"Do you want to go get the cake now?" Erza asked again,making Lucy laugh.
"Sure,Erza. I love you. "Lucy said,barely whispering the last part.
"What was that Lucy?" Erza asked,confused as to what the blonde had said.
"Nothing,Erza. Now,let's go get you that cake." Lucy said,smiling at the way Erza's face lit up.
'And this,is why I love you. Erza Scarlett....'
