"Mia, it's unsafe to read and walk at the same time. Be careful. "Floyd warned. Mia looked up from her book and nodded right away in assurance.
"Are you enjoying the book?"Aatos asked.
Mai nodded, but then stopped walking.
"Mai-?"
"Each time I turn the page, it's like I already know the words and what is going to happen to the characters. The twists at the end, I expect them before I even find out anything going on. The sentences that are suppose to surprise me, I had already expected,"Mai sighed, closing the book,"But what's more strange. I feel I might find something or someone here."
"Isn't that good?"Aatos questioned,"You wanted to find where you came from."
Mai hung her head,"I don't know anymore, I'm scared. And that whatever I find will frighten me more. I don't know if I want to know anymore-"
"Mai, don't say that. You should find about your past even if it's bad or good, memories are good to have,"Floyd assured, stepping forward and putting her hood down,"But no one here would know to recognize you if-"
Mai yanked her hood back up, dropping her book,"I don't want to show my face!"she blurted, her hands shaking as she grasped her hood tightly,"I don't want to be found."
"Mai-G! Mai!"Floyd caught the blonde as she fainted.

"Hey, are we anywhere near the inn yet?"Natsu groaned.
"It should be just up this road,"Lisanna assured, smiling back at him and the rest.
"If we get lost, i'm just glad it won't just be me and Carla again,"Wendy chuckled lightly.
"Speaking of which,"Erza looked back at them,"Carla, did you see anything when you were lost with Wendy? You looked distracted."
Carla shook her head,"It's nothing of much concern. Just something that had caught my attention,"she stated, crossing her arms.
"Do you mind telling us?"Gray questioned.
"A group of three, they were all wearing cloaks. But only the girl kept her hood up, I would be able to hear them if it hadn't been so noisy. But I believe they were talking about a book,"Carla squinted, trying to remember clearly.
"That's it?"Happy asked,"Doesn't seem like something that interesting."
"I thought that too,"Carla agreed.
"But it was enough to catch your attention, maybe we should keep an eye out for them,"Erza suggested.
"Aye!"they all agreed raising their fists in the air.
"Let's get to the inn before sundown,"Lisanna suggested.
"Yeah, I'm tired,"Happy yawned, plopping himself on Natsu's fluffy hair.
"I think we all are, it's been a long day,"Carla said. The group nodded and began walking down the road to get to their inn that awaited their presence.
