Chapter 18
~Luna Pov~
Lyndon opens a portal and as I begin to step in I hear Gale yelling at me.
"LUNA! DON'T YOU DARE." He screams at me as he charges towards me.
I quickly lift my hand up hoping I don't hurt him too much as he goes flying back. He looks up at me and I mouth to him I love you. Then I step through the portal with Lyndon coming right after me. Everything goes black for a second until I step forward again into a guild hall very similar to Sabertooths. I look around and there are lots of missions on the board but very few people around the guild.
"So you guys are quite busy huh?" I ask walking over towards the board.
"Indeed, but we are lacking members most of them are trying to do the bigger jobs." He explains
"Alright, so I'll start doing some smaller ones." I say as I begin pulling ones off. "Find a missing pet, get rid of rats in the house, fix some car, help paint a house, and babysit. Really? I thought you were a dark guild. These are things that should be going to little Aura back at Fairy Tail."
"No, I said we are a guild that uses dark magic. You misheard my words."
"Tomato, Tamato. I'll take all these jobs and see you before sunset." I say before taking off not giving him a chance to answer me.
First off I have to find a missing cat which is a piece of cake when it crawled out from under the house followed by several small kittens. Next was getting rid of the rats which were a bit harder because just like the cat they multiplied eventually I got it done. I decided to go for an easier job and babysit two sweet little girls.
"Can we please go outside?" The both beg me as they pull at my arms
"I don't know it's getting kind of late and it's beginning to get dark." I say
"We wanna watch the stars and moon!" Evelynn says
"Yeah!" her younger sister Ava agree
"Okay but you have to listen to me one hundred percent. Got it?"
They both agree and rush out the door and into the yard as they both lay down in the grass watching the finishing sunset and as the moon slowly makes it way out. I lay in between both of them as we both watch the night for sometime before I decide it's time for them to go inside. I stand up seeing both of them have fallen asleep so I pick up Ava and carry her into the house laying her on the couch before I run back outside seeing that Evelynn is not where she was sleeping. I start to panic until I feel someone gently tug on my shirt. Evelynn.
"Oh, my mavis! You scared me I thought you ran off or someone took you." I say pulling her into a hug
"I heard something from the woods I thought it was you so I went to look." She says
"No, but let's get you to bed your mother should be home soon." I say taking her by the hand
We get inside and I take her to her room along with her sister. I tuck them both in just as their mother comes back. She thanks me and pays me. It's well past midnight before I get to the guild hall or should I say the slightly larger than a normal house that has the guild mark on the front door. I return the fliers with signatures to Lyndon and he marks them off as done before he dismisses me for the night. I wonder to the back of the guild finding several rooms with beds once I find one that's unoccupied I shut the door and fall in the small bed. It hasn't been a full day but I miss Fairy Tail. Lyndon knocks on the door before walking in.
"I trust you made some good money?" He asks
"Yeah, the babysitting job gave me a tip for putting her kids to bed without tearing the house down." I reply
"Alright well sorry darling but you don't get to keep all the money."
"I figured as much."
"Smart girl you are well ten percent is to go to the guild hall other than that the money is yours."
"Ten percent from each mission or of the total sum?" I ask
"The total sum." He replies as I start counting money. Once I get the ten percent and hand him the money he pats me on the head and tucks me in like I'm five rather than fifteen. He closes the door and shuts the light off and all I can think about is wanting to finish the book I was reading with Gale because we stopped right in the middle of a cliffhanger. I slap my forehead a bit hard, sighing as I rub it trying to push all thoughts of fairy tail out of my mind. Maybe I should go see the magic council tomorrow and get some more books so I can study. I rub my eyes while rolling over slipping silently into a dreamless sleep.

I push open the doors to the council library making my way to the law section. I choose a few books I have yet to read and get them all checked out with a few practice quizzes and a due date I place them all in my bag before I turn the corner and see some guards trying to pull Natsu and Gale off of some elder councilmen. Without thinking I yell out.
"Stop you're hurting them!"
lots of eyes dart in my direction landing on me, but the ones that hold me in place are the light crimson. I tear away from them reaching into my bag digging around until my fingers close over a small smooth crystal. When I look up again Gale is charging at me and I throw the crystal to the ground watching as it shatters. Smoke rising from the broken pieces.
"This isn't where I want to be, so send me to a place that works for me." I look up again just in time to see Gale reaching for me before smoke envelopes me and I'm back in my room in the guild hall.
