Thread: Not Even Hell Will Destroy The Guild (Mountain Zaki & darkangel76)

Mira inwardly cringed as the man attempted his swagger, that grin she knew all too well thanks to posing for several photo shoots. She was well aware of how men thought. This one was no different. No wonder he'd been targeted. He was a perfect addition. But, it was up to her to ensure things succeeded. This man was wanted, needed and there was no room for failure when it came to the cause. She knew her role was of vital importance and...she could never let him down. With a shy smile, Mira looked up into the man's face. Thank you, she whispered. I'll reward you for your efforts. It was a promise, her eyes sharing secrets he would soon unlock. Oh, his allegiance would be unwavering, exactly what was needed. Pity he'd soon forget this moment. Mira dared a step closer, her nipples at attention as they brushed against the man's chest. Her cheeks reddened, a deep burn clawing at her throat, the closer she got. I'll give you...anything. Meanwhile, back in the guild hall, Lucy was beside herself. More than anything, she longed to grab Natsu's collar and shake him. How could he be so relaxed when Levy and Wendy had gone missing? She knew damned well neither had taken on a job. Both were always so good about letting others know their whereabouts. The fact that Gajeel sprung into action said it all. Too bad Levy couldn't see the Iron Dragon in this state. Often times, Lucy found herself wishing that one of them would say something to the other. After all, someone needed to find happiness. If only she could for herself. Lucy's dark eyes lingered on Natsu and she sighed. He could be so dense sometimes. Setting her jaw, she turned toward Gajeel and handed him Levy's book. Aries found it, Lucy said, unable to look at Natsu for fear of showing her disappointment. It wasn't too far from here. Maybe a couple of miles. Lucy chewed on her lower lip as various scenarios turned through her head. None of them were good. A part of her wondered if the strange storm had something to do with it. Aries and the other Celestial Spirits had been very uneasy during the whole thing. They'd all asked for some time once it passed and that was when Mirajane first disappeared. It couldn't be coincidence. Three wizards. Gone. Vanishing as if they'd never even existed. A chill ran through Lucy's veins, her emotions utterly raw. She couldn't even look at Natsu, she was so angry. Furious! Maybe if we start back where Aries found this, she offered. We'll find some clues. Something. Unable to help it, she glanced Natsu's way. Anything. Magnolia Town, Fiore Seras walked a few steps behind him. She always did and always would. He was her maker, her master, her everything. Of course, she was well aware that Alucars saw her as nothing more than his own personal minion, a pet he could train and mold as he wished. With that meant she'd never be anything more than an obligation. Knowing that stung deeply. But there wasn't much she could do about it. Not now, anyway. Fortunately, she had forever. And she'd wait. She'd always wait. Yes, master, Seras spoke, her eyes cast down. She flicked her blonde locks, slightly grown out from the short wisps she'd always kept. She had to admit, she preferred it longer. Hopefully Fairy Tail will prove useful as an ally. We'll need the help, she admitted. As they walked the night, Seras felt her hunger rise. She needed blood. And soon. In the distance, she saw Fairy Tail Guild come into view. She stopped abruptly and hung her head. I'm hungry, master. I need to eat before we go inside. Seras' cheeks burned at the admission. She wasn't like Alucard where she could go long periods of time without blood. But one day she'd prove her true worth...one day.
