|Sylvia's POV|

Storm took the time explaining everything, and now I get it. Basically, Ivan needs Nashi's and Storm's child, because their child would be a demon dragon-slayer plus a demon. Which, has never been done before. They want to take the child and brainwash it. And, that's that.

Afterwards, Storm and I went back to the guildhall, we both agreed that it would probably be best for me to talk to Gale and Reiki about what happened. Storm is not in the best position right now. If only he hadn't done that to Reiki, he probably would help Storm. Could you ever imagine that? Me, the younger sister, help my older brother. Who knew?

|Author's POV|

"Hey Laxus!" Mira called.

"Yeah?" Laxus replied.

"You have a letter from the council."

Usually these type of things were about the guild destroying things. Not this one.

"Hmm. Another group? Well. Asking for the same team."

Mira knew what she had to do. She went to the main part of the guild and yelled, "NASHI, STORM, REIKI, NOVA, GALE! WE NEED YOU!"

The team, who was scattered across the guild hall, got up and walked toward the basement. Well, Storm just made a cane and walked as best he could. The best person he could think of to carry him was Nashi... and he just thought no. Nope. Nope. Nope. So, he sucked it up and started to walk again.

They all went downstairs. Laxus told them their mission. Which was to get rid of some bandits at a far town. About 4 days trip. Before they leave, Storm has to talk to Sylvia, and Reiki has to talk to Rosemary as well.

It was the end of the day so the team went home, they we were all going to go straight to bed. The message was urgent, so they had to get up early and leave. They all got pajamas on and went right to bed.

Only, Reiki was still having nightmares. He woke up in the middle of the night all sweaty and afraid. He decided it was about time to get ready to go anyway. And talk to Rose. Once he took his shower, got dressed, and ate breakfast, he went to wake up Rosemary.

"Rose, Rose wake up. Rosemary." He urged her to wake up.

All she did was groan.

"Rosemary!" He said louder.

"What is it?" She asked tiredly.

"Get up, I need to talk to you."

"Now?"

"Now." he demanded.

She sat up, "Okay, I'm up, what is it?" She asked.

"You need to leave." Reiki said plainly.

"Leave? What are you talking about? Why?" She was obviously too tired.

"I mean, you need to go. Far from here."

"Wait... What?! What are you not telling me?"

"Sylvia knows, ask her. It takes too long to explain."

"Why does she know and I don't?" Rose's voice had a hint of jealousy.

"I DON'T KNOW! You just have to pack your things and leave by tonight." Reiki barked. He did not like Sylvia. And he'd like it to stay that way.

Something bothered Rosemary, "How long?"

"What do you mean?"

"How long do I have to go? Just for a couple days right? Until you come back?"

"N-no. A lot longer than that. About..." he loosened his voice, "1 year or so..."

"WHAT? A YEAR?! JUST ME AND SYLVIA? YOU'RE KIDDING ME!!" Rosemary was enraged.

"I know. I'm sorry. Again, Sylvia will explain."

Reiki really didn't like the idea of Rosemary and Sylvia going out for at least a year. That's why he did what he did next.

He suddenly hugged Rosemary, her eyes widened with her hands still at her sides.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." He repeated. Rose hugged back.

"It's okay, you wouldn't do this for a stupid reason," she reassured him. Even if it was pretty much a half truth.

"I love you Rose," he nearly cried into her hair.

Their hug got tighter, "I love you too Reiki."

~At Storm's House~

Sylvia was the one who woke Storm up that morning. He got ready for his day then figured it was time to say goodbye. She was actually about to say goodbye to him. He had his black cloak with his hood down. All 5 of them decided to wear a cloak for... safety... purposes. They didn't want to risk getting questioned again.

"Hey Sylvia..."

"Hm?"

"I'm going to miss you..."

Sylvia's always been considerate of other people's feelings, especially when she knew what they felt. This time, she knew Storm, was worried.

She embraced with him and immediately Storm hugged back. Only, it sounded like she was crying.

"I'll be okay. I swear... but... the rest of the guild..." She got worried.

"Don't worry, they're not in as much danger as you," He reassured her. He lifted his head from his shoulder and kissed her forehead. "I have to go now ok?" He pulled his hood.

"Ok" she agreed. As he went to grab the door knob, Sylvia ran up to Storm and embraced him from behind and said, "One last hug."

When she let go, he smiled then left out the door. Sylvia was was still crying when he left.

Ok, I'm like 200 words short on this chapter but that's ok. It was either short or REALLY long. I kinda have to have something to write about in future chapters.

ALSO! I wanted to clear up the side power that Devil Slayers have, that I totally made up. Because, I reread my story and its really confusing to me, anyway... Basically, slayers can feel when: -Someone is lying -When Someone needs something else to say -When Danger is coming (It's not all that great because they don't know how big the danger is) -When someone is sneaking up on them -When someone is feeling a great emotion. (ie, Sadness, Anger, Confusion, Fear, etc) I just wanted to clear that up.

OOH! I want to dedicate this chapter to a couple people:

K COOL! These peeps were way overdue for a shoutout, so CHECK 'EM OUT! SSYYEE!

P.S-if you've read my bio thing, you know that I go on vacation a lot, and I'm going camping for the rest of this week. So that's why I published a lot of chapters at one time. The next time I update will probably be Saturday.
