~Erza's Pov~ 

Natsu, Gray and I were heading back to mine and Levy's room. "That Invel is the one who attacked Juvia and team some months ago" I spoke as Gray looked annoyed punching his fist into his open hand. "That's it I'm killing him" he spoke harshly as I pinned him to the wall. "Do you not remember a single word Lucy told you last night?" I asked harshly and loudly as he looked away still looking annoyed and upset. "Alright fine, I'll hold back.....for now" he spoke getting me to sigh and shake my head. I freed him from the wall and walked ahead.

"What is the plan Erza? With what we learnt from Lucy last night.....we can't do normal plan" Natsu asked as I was still thinking on that. "For now we protect Lucy, then see what happens in the future" I answered as he nodded. We got to our room to see Levy laying on her bed taking deep breaths. "Levy?" we asked worried rushing over as she sat up as she was sweating slightly. "Lucy freed me from my curse, I can finally get sick it seems" Levy spoke as Gray put his hand on her forehead, cooling her down.

"Don't give us a scare like that" I spoke as Levy laid back down. "Sorry" she replied as Natsu moved to the window looking out it in deep thought himself. "I wonder, Levy is there any chance of getting Lucy's keys back?" I asked as Levy closed her eyes. "They would be in Jason's temple in the forest that is beyond the boarder line, no one is allowed there well Spriggans, Zeref and Lucy are the only ones allowed" Levy answered getting me to think. "We need to get Lucy her keys back. She is broken and lost as it is, she will need Aquarius" I spoke as Levy sat back up.

"Oh yeah, none of you know" Levy spoke getting all of our attention. "To save us from Mard Geer.....Lucy g-gave Aquarius up, she had to destroy Aquarius's golden key" Levy informed us as we was staring at her in utter shock. "When we found the temple where her new key should of been....it was already taken" Levy soon mumbled as I left the room fast to Lucy's room next door as I knocked on the door. It was Brandish who opened the door as I burst inside without an invite getting Brandish to shout at me to leave.

Lucy was sitting on the bed looking toward me. "She can stay, leave us please Brandish" Lucy spoke as Brandish left closing the door. I rushed over to Lucy hugging her. "You didn't just had and still have the hurt from losing the keys but the repeat with Aquarius. Lucy I am so sorry" I spoke as Lucy froze up. I had a hand behind her head and hand on her back. "I am so sorry we didn't know that sooner you helped get the guild back together and get ready for war and yet......we still didn't know" I whispered in pure guilt.

"Erza" Lucy spoke as I pulled away as she was smiling at me. A normal happy smile it looked like. Her eyes showed another story. It was heart breaking to hear my words. "We cannot cry over the past, we must move onward to the future" Lucy spoke as I shook my head taking her hands. "I won't agree to that. You are Lucy Heartfilla of Fairy Tail the girl who was never shy to show her emotion. The girl who is my little sister. The girl who was a human Celestail Mage" I then spoke as she was looking at me with shock.

"Use my life to make another Gate Eclipse" I spoke as her eyes widen and watered. "You are suffering more than anyone. You had been through to much. Use my life and send Levy and the others back in time. Please Lucy......I want to save you from this pain" I begged as she got being the same height as myself. She did grow a bit. "Erza.....I won't" she spoke as she smiled at me once more. "I only just got you back after all, I want to find a way to bring Fairy Tail guild back, I want to find a way for us all to be close once more" Lucy spoke.

She had pure joy on her face and in her eyes but I was unsure if she was faking it all. After so long we heard from Levy she had gotten really good at faking. "I don't want to see you suffer Lucy" I whispered as she shook her head. "Even back there I suffered slightly Erza, everyone does it is how they grow" she spoke as I sighed knowing she wasn't backing down. Lucy moved to the side getting me to follow as she picked up a picture frame and passed it to me. It was of her and a group of children. 

"They are orphans that I care for deeply, without all this suffering I wouldn't of met them. Without this suffering I wouldn't find out Zeref wasn't as evil as everyone thought. Without this suffering, I wouldn't of met some amazing people, I wouldn't of been able to see such amazing things and I wouldn't of been able to protect the people" she soon spoke as I smiled toward her. She was still the same. As much as she was able to hide it, inside she was the same Lucy Heartfilla we all knew.

"Just promise me Lucy......You will be safe and won't be shy to come to us" I begged as she nodded. "I promise" she replied smiling toward me as I knew, she would keep her word.
