When I got out of the shower I walked over to my room to pick out another outfit to cry in which ended up being black jean shorts, a white tube top with a red hoodie that ended mid waist, and comfy knee high boots. I put a little bun on top of my head with my hair and braided the fronts with beads. I went to the pull down stairs in the middle of the hallway between the bathroom and the living room, in front of the kitchen door, and pulled down the stairs. I climbed up then pulled them up after me, pulling the latch closed. From the first floor of the warehouse you can't see where the latch is but I know where. I walked out to the door and put an equally crumbling doorbell beside it on the wall. The sound would reach all through the basement, the first floor, and it would be loud enough to hear from the outside. I locked the door and went to sitting on my bed staring at the wall. Thinks no through all Lucy's memory's I saw in her before she died because I couldn't do my job. Just then a musical note strung around the whole area. I get up and wipe the tears that fell from my face, probably making my eyes puffy, and got to the first floor locking the latch with magic. I learned quite a bit of magic yesterday and this morning, when I found it was basically afternoon I sat down to cry forever. I don't plan of someone going to the middle of nowhere. I opened the door to see a small group from the guild. Grey. Erza. Natsu. Levi. Gajeel. Master.
"Y-yes?"
I spoke weakly, I haven't said anything since I left the guild after explained no that I was once a demoness and Lucy had to die because of me.
"Lila...are you okay?"
Erza came up and took my hands looking into my eyes.
"No."
I said looking down. She enveloped me in a hug and we went to the floor as I began crying again. The other joined and we became a big crying mass of huggers. Erza lifted my head up to look me in the eye.
"It's not you fault. You brought Lucy to us to see her one last time, and that was good. Now, do you live here?! It looks like it's about to crumble in two seconds!"
She began nicely buuuuut she ended with yelling.
"I suppose you should come inside. Do you guys want anything to drink?"
I said standing up and once again wiping tears from my face. They all either said coffee or water and I sent magic to put those drinks on the table, hot and cold. When I walked in after them I closed the door and began to the latch noticing their confusion.
"By the way, how on earth did I you find me here?"
"I did"
Grey said.
"You know since that night, I've been able to tell where you are so when I heard everyone saying you went missing I brought them here, not that I've ever been here."
"The reason why you can tell where I am is because my father bonded us. It's like a marriage but it doesn't have to be between lovers. Because of our bond, you can find me me anywhere, read my emotions, and even feed off my energy levels or give me some of your energy. I can do the same to you, it brings us closer. He did that to you because you were the one who proclaimed love onto me."
I spoke quietly, knowing they could still hear me, and undid the latch. I pulled the board from its place and pushed down the white clean stairs. I looked back to them.
"Who goes first?"
Levi walked up and gave me a reassuring smile.
"You can wonder around while you wait for everyone, the drinks are on the table."
"Okay."
She said and went down the stairs. Next was Gajeel and Natsu then master and Erza. Grey didn't move from his spot. I looked up to him, I felt mixed emotions, and feeling brave myself, I got up and brought him into a kiss. He deeper the kiss and his arms went around my waist, the same with mine. We slowly pulled apart and I looked into his eyes. I didn't say anything and neither did he. I got on my toes and brushed my nose next to his and gave him another peck then pulled him to the stairs. He smiled and went down. I got down and put everything back. I found everyone in the kitchen drinking their beverages with one left for me. My lemonade. I walked in and picked it up.
"So why did you all come other than making sure I wasn't in trouble?"
"Well that was it really. And to make sure that you still wanted to be apart of fairy tail guild, even without powers or magic there are plenty mages to teach you."
Master stood and came over to me.
"Thank you master. If you couldn't see I'm showing off my insignia right now even, I'm very proud of what I've accomplished aaaaaand I've already learned some magic on my own, but if anyone wanted to teach me that would be great!"
Everyone looked down to my insignia when I said I was showing off as if just realizing what I was wearing, I saw Grey blush.
"I would be glad to teach you requip magic."
Erza said then she began talking about how I would start.
"Whoa Erza, I think I should Learn your magic, and any other Mage magic at the guild."
I smiled and I heard approvals.
"Okay let's get going!"
Natsu burst into flames burning most of my stuff in his excitement.
"Calm down flame brain, your burning her stuff!"
"What did you call me ice pop?"
"Flame brain!"
"Oi you wanna go princess?"
And Erza happened.
