Hi guys its author chan again! Im sorry i don't update as much but the thing is, that nowadays i don't have the urge to write but hopefully that changes!!! We hit over 900 reads! I never imagined getting that many reads on this story and it's all thanks to you guys thank you! Now lets start the chapter!

(Y/n)'s pov

I push past the trees, scanning the area around me. Finally, after a week, i see sunlight ahead, my ears twitch as i hear the rushing of the rainfall and my eyes widen as i realise i have found the place that will now be my training camp. I run eagerly threw the remaining plants and then stop: my eyes glistening and my mouth slightly opened in awe, ' it looks the same as it was described in the book.'

Flashback~~~

(Y/n) was in the library of magic in a dark isle. SLAM! She drops the large dusty book on the table as she takes a seat infront of it, ' Sacred Landmarks, ' the navyette pushed open the book, flipping the pages as she scanned them with her blue orbs looking for something that could help her. Majority of the landmarks were destroyed or built over into a village, (Y/n) was about to give up until a certain page caught her eye. Dramula fall. It was perfect for her, there were beautiful mountains and caves however, that was not the thing that excited the girl the most. There was a magical rainfall, it is said that if you bathe in it your magic energy is restored and is enhanced. Everything seemed perfect but, the only thing was only a few can find it. Legends say only a few special mages can find Dramula fall. It is said that it is located somewhere deep in Vericon forest and that it can take up weeks to find it. The young mage slammed the book close, a familliar look of determination on her face, " Just wait and see, im gonna find Dramula fall and become stronger."

(Y/n) 's pov

I walked towards the rushing water, in wonder, as it glistened under the sun, i dropped my bag onto the ground as i pulled down my hood letting my navy locks fall loosely on my shoulders. I bent down next to the beautiful lake and dipped my small hand into the shimmering water, instantly feeling a tingling sensation go up my slender arm. A light blush crosses over my face and a proud grin spreads across my face. I found it! I found the oh so mysterious Dramula fall, i drop backwards spreading my arms, as i close my eyes and take in the fresh air. Slowly, i feel the sounds around me fade away and my subconscious take over.

Time skip~

I rub my eyes trying to take all the sleep out of them as i sit up to stretch my stiff limbs. I look up at the sky to notice the pinkish orange colour once again, my eyes widen for the nth time this day. ' i haven't set up camp yet! ' I spring to my feet reaching for my black sack. I start pulling the content out in a rush manor until i grab a certain picture. It was a picture of my guild. My eyes soften as my rash movements stop, a sad smile on my face, i miss them but i know I'm doing this for them. I carefully put down the frame and start getting everything ready to build my camp. GROWL!!! My stomach screams at me, reminding myself that i haven't eaten in a couple of days. " Well, i guess it's time for dinner!"

Gray's pov

I paced around the guild, a permanent frown of worry on my face, matching the faces of the other guildmates. It's been over a week since I've seen (Y/n) and she's nowhere to be found, making me worried sick. I asked Mira if she had gone on a mission but she said that the last mission she went on was with me. I checked her apartment every day but there was still no trace of her. 'Were the hell could she be!' I pulled my hair in frustration, it's all my fault. I should've walked home with her that day, if anything happened to her i will never be able to forgive myself. I clenched my fists together and grit my teeth, if anyone even touched a strand of her navy hair I'm gonna kill them. I looked up at my friends, all of them looked worried,well, all of them except Erza. Instead, she was eating a slice of strawberry shortcake and reading a book. I was confused and hurt: didn't she think of (Y/n) as a little sister? Doesn't she care that she's gone missing?

I stormed towards the redhead, my shirt already gone, and slammed my hand down on the counter, bringing everyone attention to me.

No one's pov

The loud slam brought everyone's attention to the ravenette, including Erza's, the air in the guild thickened as it remained silent. The older girl looked up at Gray, a look of confusion on her face as she furrowed her eyebrows,
" What's wrong Gray, "
the silence was broken by Erza's familiar stern voice however, this only seemed to make the situation more intense. Gray looked furious, he glared daggers at the indiviual infront of him. " What's wrong? What do you mean what's wrong? (Y/n)'s gone missing! That's what's wrong! Do you even care?, "
Gray couldn't hold it anymore, he wanted to get rid of all his pent up anger and Erza seemed to be the best person to aim it at, at this moment.
Erza put down her book and fork. She turned to look Gray in the eye, not flinching at the icy glare he was aiming at her,
" Of course i care about (Y/n) but I'm sure she is mature enough to lookafter herself, she is probably fine right now, "
Gray's fist shook as he restrained himself from punching his guild member. He was enraged. He forced his fist down on the table, leaving a dent, as he looked down at the ground before harshly looking back at Erza's chocolate orbs, growling at her.
" You know what, it seems like i was right. You don't care about her, you probably never cared for her huh? Your just a selfish bitch who doesn't care about anyone except herself? You don't care for a single person in this guild, "
Erza got up, a surge of anger going through her. She looked up at the ice mage, her glare matching his own.

" STOP WHATEVER IS GOING ON HERE!!!". Master interrupted, bursting a layer of tension in the air. Now, he had everyone's attention, even Erza's and Gray's,  as he stood on the banister. " I'M SURE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WONDERING WERE (Y/N) HAS BEEN," he was responded by a chorus of nods and yes', as Gray quickly sent a side glare at the focused redhead.
" WELL, SHE HAS REQUESTED TIME FROM THE GUILD TO TRAIN HOWEVER, SHE WILL BE ATTENDING ALL OUR USUAL TRADITIONS SO DO NOT WORRY, " everyone looked relieved however, everyone but Gray. His shoulders slumped as he quietly mumbled a sorry to Erza, making the redhead's face soften, he dragged his feet to the guild doors and left the guild hall, leaving everyone confused of his reaction.

Erza's pov

I couldn't stand it any longer. I was furious at Gray. How could he say such untruthful words! Of course i care for   (Y/n)! He really needs to learn restrictions. I got up meeting his glare without flinching, a glare of my own aimed at him but, before i could say anything, i was interrupted by master.
" STOP WHATEVER IS GOING ON HERE!!!" I stopped glaring at Gray and gave master all my attention.
" I'M SURE YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WONDERING WERE (Y/N) HAS BEEN, " everyone responded with nods and yes' and i could see Gray glaring at me from the corner of my eye but i chose to ignore it.
" WELL, SHE HAS REQUESTED TIME FROM THE GUILD HOWEVER,  SHE WILL ATTEND ALL OUR USUAL TRADITIONS SO DO NOT WORRY!"
Everyone looked relief, including me as i couldn't hold this secret any longer, however, the same couldn't be said for Gray. It looked as if all his energy was drained and was replaced with misery, my glare softened as i heard him mumble a sorry underneath his breath. I watched him leave through the guild doors and i couldn't help but feel pity for him.

Gray's pov

It really was my fault. I leaned my head against the wall of my room as i clenched my news and gritted my teeth, a single tear ran down my pale cheek as the night sky alluminated my dull roon up. I should've noticed something was wrong when i was talking to her before she left. I should've reassured her that none of it was her fault, that none of it could have been prevented, that she was strong, that she doesn't have to protect everybody. I'm such an idiot, she's probably going to strain herself, it's going to be months until the next fairy festival. I looked out at the bright stars in the dark night sky.
' i guess I'll just wait for her to come back to me.'

(Y/n)'s pov

I sat infront of my bombfire that i lit with my magic, and wrapped my black blanket around me, i snuggled my nose into it, smelling the familiar scent of mint. I smiled to myself, remembering the day Gray and i snuggled together on the sofa after a long mission, our arms wrapped around eachother as we slept.
I looked up at the starry night sky as i sighed staring at the beautiful sight, i couldn't help but think about my friends again.
Are we staring at the same stars?

' Well, all i know right now is, I'm still figuring things out, '
