Chapter 41

"I'm waiting kid," Mira said, still crossing her arms.

Chelia placed her fork on the plate, "I can't tell you," She whispered.

Mira raised her brow, "why? Are you in trouble? Is someone after you?" Chelia stared at her lap, fiddling her thumbs, "if someone is after you, you can tell me."

"I don't know who to trust. For all I know, you could be one of them."

Mira got out of her seat and kneeled in front of Chelia, taking her hands into hers, "you can trust me Chelia. I promise I will keep you safe."

"Please don't make promises you can't keep." Chelia squeezed her hands, gently.

"I can. That's why I said it. I will keep you safe." Her eyes were filled with determination and hope. The two things Chelia needed most, "I just need you to tell me where you came from."

"I came from..." she took a deep breath, "fairy tail academy."

The door opened revealing Nastu and Juvia. Gajeel ran up to Juvia, engulfing her into a hug, "where have you been?"

"I was only gone for like ten minutes," Juvia laughed.

"More like fifteen." He squeezed her tighter, "don't run off like that again."

She hugged him back, "I promise."

The door creaked open making everyone turn to the source of the noise. Erza was standing in the doorway with her bottle in one hand and her jacket in the other. Everyone stood silently waiting for someone to speak up. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Erza walked foward causing everyone to make a pathway from her to Juvia.

She was about four steps away from Juvia when she stopped, she crossed her arms and let out a huge breath, while swallowing her dignity to say the few words she doesn't consider to be in her vocabulary, "I'm sorry," She whispered. Juvia only crossed her arms and glared at the pitiful excuse she called an apology. Erza swallowed the last bit of pride she had in her throat, "I was way out of line earlier and I'm sorry. I know I need to work on how to talk to people and think before I speak. So, I'm sorry." She stuck out her hand indicating for Juvia to shake it to call a truce.

Juvia sighed, "you know what Erza..." She pushed Erza's hand away, "you went to far this time. You really hurt me."

"And I'm sorry for that," Erza said, emotionless.

"I have dealt with your crap for years and have forgiven you everytime and heard the same speech over and over again, but this time is different." She nudged Erza's shoulder walking to Grays room, "until you actually mean what you said, then maybe I can accept your apology, but right now... I'm done with you."

Erza stood there, shocked, by the words that came out if Juvias mouth.

"Sheesh, that was harsh," Natsu said, stratching the back of his head.

"Tell me about it," Gajeel added.

"You ok Erza?" Jellal asked, walking to her, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Not really," Erza said, sighing, "this is what I get."

"Don't say that," Jellal rubbed her back, "I'm sure she'll forgive you soon."

"Not really," Gajeel said, "Juvia was pissed. When you get her that pissed she doesn't forgive you easily."

"Not helping metal head!" He growled.

"What did you call me?!" Gajeel said, lifting up his sleeves.

"You heard me-" They all turned to a out of breath Lucy, "What the hell happened to you?" Everyone ran over to help her get back in her feet.

She coughed, "we have to go."

"Did they find us?" Natsu asked.

"Not exactly."
