Cecelia's POV
I stood in the shower letting the water run down my back and sighed. Zeref had been kind enough to let me stay with him just until I thought I was ready to go back but I felt guilty...
"Natsu...," I said quietly to myself and a tear rolled down my cheek. I wiped it away and turned the water off. I couldn't let anything get to me. I was on my own now. I can't let my 'feelings' stop me.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel Zeref had given to me to use around me. It smelled like lilac and was comforting. I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were a little red from crying and water dripped down to the floor from my hair. I dried myself and got dressed. I pulled my hair back and walked out of the bathroom.
Zeref was sitting in front of the fire.
"Hey," I said and sat on the couch that was in front of the fire.
"Hey," he replied and his eyes never left the fire. I got up from the couch and sat next to him.
"You know... This fire reminds me of someone...," I said and gazed into the fire.
"Really? Who?" Zeref asked and the fire died down.
"His name is Natsu Dragneel," I answered. "I'm not sure if you know him but he was the first person I met when I transferred." Zeref stayed quiet.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"No... Not at all," he said. I knew something was wrong but I wasn't going to pressure him.
"Well um... Thanks for letting me stay with you," I said with a small smile. He nodded and stood up.
"Let me show you to your room," he said and went upstairs. I stood up and followed.
The bedroom was huge! Probably the size of our whole dorm back at school.
"Thanks Zeref," I said and sat on the bed.
"No problem," he said left. I stared at the ceiling and sighed.
Mirajane's POV
I looked around the dorm for any other letters from Cecelia. I stopped when I saw a ripped piece of paper. I picked it up.
I'll be coming back on the first full moon in a few years.
A... Few years... Natsu's going to be devastated...

Okay! So... The chapters are probably going to be short from here on out! Sorry! I'll make them as long as I can but I'm running out of ideas! If anyone would like to help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
