Natsu's POV
"It's finally time to start the ball!!!"I shouted,looking at the huge clock hanging below the balcony and above the stairs."Im going to, um, get something to drink."Gray said, slowly side stepping towards the clock.
Ironically,standing by the clock was Hecta."Wait a sec......GRAY YOU BASTERED!!!!!!"I screamed, running after him.Then, Gray started full out running towards her.Hecta looked our way and a sudden look of alarm was shown.
"Natsu?!"Hecta yelped, scrambling out of the way."Dont do that!!!!You gave me a heart attack!!!So did you, Gray!"Hecta yelled.Then me and Gray exchanged glances."He never told you his name."I said."Well, um......I know almost everyone in the famous Team Natsu."Hecta said.
"Oh......"I said."Do you want to dance?"Gray asked."Um......Sure."Hecta said nervously.Luckily, this waltz was one when the dance partners switched partners."Wendy."I asked, looking in her direction."O-okay."Wendy said, walking up to me. Okay, I know, it was a little wearied that I was dance with a way younger girl but, Lucy wasn't here and I don't think I'd be caught dead dancing with Erza.
When the music started, Wendy was faster and swifter and agile while I look like a elephant trying to trample a ant. Finally, when the time to switch partners, I threw Wendy into Grays arms in which Hecta was mine.
I walked up to her and put my hand out to her.She hesitated but took it anyway."You look pretty."I said, taking her left hand in mine and wrapping my arm in the curve in her back.
She slightly jolted and squeaked in surprise."T-thank you."Hecta said.Something defiantly seemed familiar about her."I wish that I could see your face......."I said, trying to find out who she was and if I had seen her before."Um....."Hecta muttered.
I slowly grabbed for her mask but she stopped me with her right hand."I-I.....Its time to switch."Hecta said.She walked away and Gray came up to me."Im gonna kill you for taking Hecta!!!!You looked like you were being a perv!!!!"Gray yelled furiously behind me.
"Something's not right......"I muttered."You bet so!!!Hecta was made for me!!!"Gray yelled."No you baka.I know her, I've seen her before.Somewhere important."I whispered.Gray suddenly got serious."I want to find out who she is too."Gray said.
"Then we will, but I'm going to get some air."I said, walking towards the outdoors balcony.

Hecta's POV
'I feel so dirty, pretending to be someone I'm not.' I said, walking towards the clock that hung between the indoor balcony and the stairs.I caught a glimpse of someone and I whirled around to find Natsu."Natsu?!"I yelped, running away in my dress, which is quite difficult if I must say.
"Don't do that!!!You gave me a heart attack!!!!So did you, Gray!!!"I yelled out of breath, noticing Gray.I turned to find the boys' staring at me blankly."He never told you his name....."Natsu said.'Shoot, he's right.'I thought."Well, um....." 'Com'on!!! You gotta think of something!!!!' "I almost know everyone in the famous team Natsu."I said.
"Oh."Natsu said."Do you want to dance?"Gray said to my left.I turned to look at him.His navy blue hair was combed and he had a dark blur tux on with a black tie and black shoes."Um....." 'Do I really want to dance with him? I might be jeopardizing my mission.'I thought.
"Sure."I said before I could think.'Im a baka.-_-' I thought gloomily.Once we go to the dance floor, the music started and Natsu chose Wendy to dance with.I watched Natsu and Wendy dance.Because,to be honest, I don't know how to dance really.
Gray was talking to me but I didn't seem to hear because I was focused on following Natsu and Wendy's movements.Natsu looked like a goof trying to dance.Wendy was moving swiftly while Natsu couldn't keep up and stepped everywhere like a horse clomping around.
Then, all of a sudden, I was pulled away from Grays arms and found myself in front of Natsu.Natsu offered me his hand and I hesitantly took it."You look pretty."Natsu said, smiling down at me.I flushed underneath the mask.
Natsu pulled me close and then,Natsu wrapped his arm around my wast. "T-thank you."I mumbled.'What is happening here?!I'm suppose to be his enemy!!!'I thought franticly.
"I wish I could see your face."Natsu said.He sounded slightly disappointed but he also sounded like he was just trying to figure out who I was.Natsu tried to grab my mask but I grabbed his wrist.He looked at me slightly surprised. "I-I.......Its time to switch."I said.
"I'm gonna kill you for stealing Hecta!!!You looked like you were being a perv!!!!"Gray yelled from afar behind me.I slowly slid away from them as they started talking.Then, Natsu walked out towards the outdoor balcony.

Natsu's POV
The breeze,it'll help me think.'Maybe I saw her in a town......Or maybe a towns person in the town were Lexton was and when Mikriko was with us.......'My eyes saddened at the thought of her.'I hope she's all right......'I thought.
Then I heard soft breathing close by.I looked towards the brush and squinted my eyes.I made fire form in my hand so I could see in the dark.Brown slanted eyes stared at me in the dark.I yelped slightly in surprise and took a step back.
But then I noticed it was human."Who are you?"The person snapped."Natsu."I replied."Were's Mikriko?"The voice snarled bitterly."I......Dont know."I replied, letting the flame in my hand evaporate."Why don't you come out?"I asked. "Because I look bad."The voice rasped.
"I don't mind."I said.'What is wrong with me?!'I yelled in my head."How long has it been?"The voice asked."How long has it been since what?"I asked."How long has it been from the day you defeated me?"the voice asked.
"I think you should remember me because I was there the first day you met Mikriko."The voice said, walking out of the brush.There in the moon light was the Earth Dragon Slayer that beat up Mikriko."I am Glabar, former 3rd ranked assassin, lowest ranked in the guild, Dark Dragons."Glabar said
"What do you mean 'former'?"I asked."Narkok betrayed me."Glabar said.My eyes widened in realization."You worked with Mikriko?!"I yelled, grabbing him by the shirt collar."Yes!" Glabar yelled."Were is she?!"I yelled."I-I don't know!!!I-I had to leave the Guild the day you beat me up!!!"Glabar choked.I released him.
"But I do know his plan."Glabar said."What is it?"I asked."He's going to take out all the Dragon Slayers, starting with Mikriko."Glabar said.
