Forbidden love

Chapter 4: Wildfire

The next morning when Lucy woke up, she realized that Midnight wasn't there. Lucy slowly got up out of bed and changed her clothes. As Lucy walked downstairs into the kitchen, she saw another note from Midnight on the counter. As she picked it up, she happened to notice the time and she realized that she was going to be late. She was suppose to be at the guild by now. Lucy quickly got her boots on and put the note in her pocket and then grabbed her keys and ran out the door. As she ran out the door she ran into Erza and the note in her pocket flew out and landed in front of Erza. Erza picked up the note and began reading it and Lucy began to panic and tried to grab it away from her, but Erza kept turning away from her. The note said:

"My dear Lucy, once again I've left early on a mission, but I won't be back till tomorrow night. I will be back as soon as I can, my love. Love Midnight."

Erza's eyes filled with shock and she stood in disbelief just as Freed did.

"Lu..cy...Is this true?" Erza said starting to panic and Lucy nodded with a sigh, her eyes aimed at the ground.

"What should I do?" Erza said handing Lucy her note back and walking slowly back to the guild as she kept repeating herself over and over.

"What am I suppose to do now? My secret is spreading like wild fire." Lucy asked herself as she walked to the guild as well, but she was a little ways behind Erza. When Erza got to the guild, she walked straight over to the counter and sat down. Mirajane came over and heard Erza talking to herself.

"Erza is something wrong?" Mira asked.

"Lucy's...dating..." Erza started in a low voice. A little ways off, Wendy heard what Erza and Mirajane was talking about and she decided to listen to a little more of the conversation.

"Oh, that. I know. Lucy's dating someone from a dark guild. Someone called Midnight, I think." Mirajane said cheerfully in a low voice. Wendy, when she heard the news was shocked and worried for Lucy.

"What if that guy Lucy's dating turns bad again and hurts her?!" Wendy thought to herself in a panic. Wendy tried to stay calm a little longer and listen to the conversation a little more.

"I don't know what to do. Should I tell the master about this?" Erza asked in a low panicked voice.

"No, no, no. Lucy's happy. Don't ruin it. Besides he hasn't hurt her for almost two months since they been together." Mirajane said and Erza finally agreed to kepp it a secret and at that oment, Wendy had decided to keep it a secret as well.

When Lucy came into the guild, Erza acted like herself again and so did Wendy. Lucy sat down at a table by herself and took out the note and stared at it for a long time. Lucy still had the note out, when Levy walked up behind her and began reading the note over her shoulder.

"Lu-chan! Isn't that guy part of a dark guild?" Levy asked in a low whisper. Lucy jumped and then sighed.

"No. He's not anymore. He's helping me. Please don't tell anyone." Lucy said and Levy nodded.

"Don't worry I won't tell. But I'm happy you found someone, Lu-chan." Levy said quietly and Lucy smiled happily. Throughout the rest of the day, Lucy and Levy had talked about what kind of guy Midnight was and what Levy thought about Gajeel. Levy blushed at the sound of his name. That night, Lucy happily walked home and when she went to bed that night all she could think about was Midnight.

"I think I'm turning into Juvia." Lucy said as she began to fall sound asleep. Lucy fell asleep with the note from that morning in her hand and a smile on her face. Wendy was still a little worried about Lucy, but when she thought about all the positive affects her worries disappeared and she fell asleep as quickly as Lucy did. At Erza's house, Erza was sitting on her bed in her pajamas, polishing a sword. Erza stared at her reflection on the blade and smiled.

"I hope you will be happy Lucy, now that you've found someone. Even though, I kinda jealous." Erza said putting the sword up and crawling into bed. Erza was fast asleep in a matter of minutes with a smile on her face. At Levy's house, Levy was laying in bed unable to sleep. All she could think about was Gajeel and how happy Lucy is now. Soon enough, sleep overpowered her and she fell into a deep sleep. At Laxus's house, Laxus couldn't sleep, he was trying to figure out who was dating a guy from a dark guild.

"Man, I'll figure it out tomorrow, I need to sleep." Laxus said to himself. It took Laxus about half an hour to finally fall asleep.
