~It's been two weeks since Natsu and the group left.~

I ran into the guild hall, excited to see my brother. I had gotten some letters during the first week, but the responses stopped after he said that he had arrived at the island. I walked in and saw that everyone looked sad and some were even crying. "What the...?"

I walked up to Bisca and asked where they were and why everyone was crying. She looked at me, about to start crying too and said, "They're gone, Mune. I'm sorry but they're gone." 

I froze and looked around the guild. People were making eye contact with me, but looked away immediately. I'm all... alone...? I thought, staring at the floor. Something in me snapped, and I let out a sad cry. Some magic left my body in a explosive manner, and I turned around. I ran out of the guild, not caring where I went at this point. I bumped into two men, but I just glanced at them and continued running.

The clearing was from my memories of my first meeting with Jacira. I was so scared of her. I laughed through my tears and sat under the tree where I first saw her. I curled in on myself and fell on the grass, crying for my now lost family.

Stings POV

A pained roar pierced through the air as me and Rouge were heading back to Sabertooth. I stopped in shock and looked at Rouge, who had also stopped. "Was that...?" He looked so confused. I shrugged and continued walking. Just then, a boy with black and white hair, wearing a causal outfit, with jeans and a blue hoodie ran past us, sobbing. 

My eyes followed him to a clearing, and he collapsed. I looked at Rouge and told him to continue walking. I hope he's ok... he looks so sad. I headed toward him and asked if he was okay. He jumped at the sound of my voice, and looked at me. His white moon-like eyes looked at me in fear. He scrambled up and bolted the opposite direction of me. 

Huh. Why did he run?

Mune's POV

I jumped as one of the boys I ran past earlier asked if I was okay. I looked at the blond man, scrambled up to my feet and ran the other way. Tears streamed down my face as I ran toward my house. Why did I run? Was I just too scared? I thought as I burst through my door slamming it behind me. Was he trying to help? I sank to the floor and thought things over. I thought all night, not getting any sleep. 

In the morning I made my choice. I was going to go on a 'training trip' and try to find a way to bring them back or to find anything that says they survived. I nodded to myself, watching Snowflake sleep on the armrest through my teary eyes. 

Anyone who looked at me could see that I was in pain, and I wanted to grieve for Natsu by myself.

The next day, I left the house to make a 'gravestone' of sorts, just for respect.

Narrator's POV

As Mune left his house, he had no idea that a particular blonde was watching him.

I am sure you lovely people can tell who this person is!
