Five Little Sacrifices

Chapter 70

Yayy! 70 chapters! And even if I might start to think how to end this story, it would still take at least 30-40 chapters to end this xD This story will be even longer than the first one, I hope you guys can bear up with me ^^'

Thank you for all the votes and comments, they really help! I love you all my dear little chocolate chip cookies!

Freed sighed when Laxus slammed the door shut after them.

"I understand, you're angry", he said as he took off his coat.

"I am", Laxus growled tossing his coat on the rack as well. "You just decided it on your own that we would be the ones to go there. I don't understand why we can't just as well let Erza and her team take care of this one."

"We are the ones who know most of this whole mess", Freed explained crossing his arms and turned to look at Laxus. "We are the ones who brought that book in to our guild in the first place, don't you feel like we are responsible to go since someone has to go to Elenbora anyway?"

"I'm not saying I don't feel like that", Laxus grunted. "But it's not safe. They know at last some of us will go there."

"But they can't be sure who will be going or how many of us. And just as much, what if their plan is to actually attack here while some of us are gone?"

Laxus growled annoyed, but he knew Freed had a point. They just simply couldn't know what Yuidose was planning with all this. And if it really was true and there was a traitor... No matter what they did it wouldn't really matter since Yuidose would know about their plans anyway.

"Shit", he snarled, sitting on a couch in their living room.

"I know it's frustrating, but right now all we can do is to go to Elenbora and find out why Yuidose wants us to go there", Freed said stepping beside the couch. "You know we have to. And I'm not going to let you, Bickslow and Evergreen go there all by yourselves, I would just worry if you might cause a ruckus there. We have to work quietly so no one finds out we're mages."

Laxus muttered something, leaning against his knees and stared ahead.

"What about Felix?" he asked. "If they really are there, we can't take him with us."

"I think this time it's better if we don't take him and Chester along", Freed nodded sitting down. "I'm sure Bickslow and Cana agree. It's better that they stay here and the guild will protect them. Felix would be happy to stay with Makarov."

He stayed silent for a minute, thinking about what he had seen in his dream. He hadn't yet mentioned anything to Laxus...

"Also, I already know you're not going to like this", he finally said and the lighting dragon slayer immediately narrowed his eyes. "But I actually talked with my grandfather."

"What?" Laxus asked and his eyes widened now. "What the hell?"

"He appeared in my dream."

"How did he do that?! He's in prison and he shouldn't be able to use magic!"

"He wasn't using his own magic, he used Horror as a link. I had no idea he could do something like that. Obviously he can't do anything himself, but apparently Horror is another story. He wants to help us."

"The hell with him and his help!" Laxus roared crashing the coffee table at he other side of the room while standing up. "We don't need anything from him!"

"Your yelling and throwing furniture doesn't help one bit, Laxus", Freed scolded and he got up as well. "I don't like it either, but we should at least talk about it."
