Juvia Pov

One year has passed since I left the Palace, my parents and most importantly, Gray. I sat at the edge of my bed in my small little hut. Staring out of the window, my mind wondered to the beautiful butler that I left behind. I got up and decided to take a walk in the woods. Covering myself with a blue slik cloak, I picked up the basket sitting on the table in the middle of the room. I placed a mat and some food in it before setting off.

I walked around, looking for a perfect spot for a picnic when I looked up I realised that I was in front of the Vastia Palace. I stared up at the second widow from my right on the second floor. Gray's room. I moves along the row. I frozed when I stopped at the balcony of Lyon's room. There stood two figures, bending over the banister. Looking. Right. At. ME! I tighten my hood to cover my face and I ran right, knowing that they wouldn't be able to see me from where they were. The area is completely covered by the tall trees. I leaned against the biggest trunk, catching my breath. I slid down until I was sitting on the roots, burying my face in my knees I allowed myself to sob.

Gray Pov

I took off as soon as she did. I jumped down from the balcony and created an ice slide right before I landed. I could hear Lyon's panicked voice calling after me but I ignored it. I followed the path I saw her take. There sat a basket sitting forgotten in the middle of the path. I bend down, inspecting the contents that have fell out of the basket. It looked like she had a picnic planned in mind. Without caring about the basket I walked ahead. As I approached, I could hear soft weeping in a distanced.

Ther I stood, just a few feet away from the ome I love. I stepped forward and accidentally cracked a twig. She jumped up, her face covered with tears. She had her hands out in battle stance.

"Juvia?" I walked forth and she backed away. "Is that you?" Her eyes daryed to the floor.

"Sad Prince." She mumbled. A smiled tugged at the coner of my mouth. I held out my hand.

"Come lets go back to the Palace."

"I can't."

"Why not?" I took the risk and walked up untill I was just a feet away. Her body tensed, her hands clenched into tight balls and her eyes never leaving mine.

"I'm soory."

"For whta?"

"For this!" She punched me in the stomach, making me tumbled back. Then hitting me with a few strikes before she turned and ran away before I could even resister what was happening. I coughed and struggled to get up, a hand appeared in front of me, offering to help. I looked up.

"Lyon......" His mouth set in a frown. I took his hand and he helped me up, pulling my arm around his shoulder as support.

"She ran." I turned to look in the direction where she was last seen.

"Yeah." He nodded sadly.

"Lets get you fixed up." I limped back to the Palace with the help of Lyon. Setting me down on his bed, he went to get Laxus. As I sat there I looked out of the window. A tear threaten to fall from the coner of my eye but I blinked it away before it had the chance.

Laxus came up soon after, along with Lyon. He gave me a check uo and said I had a broken leg. He put it in a cast and handed me clutches.

"You need to rest that leg for a week at least." The blond commanded. I took the clutches and mumbled a thank you. He left the room, closing the door behind him. I left Lyon's eyes on me, I kept my eyes trained on the woods outside. He placed a hand on my shoulder, gave it a small squeeze and left me alone. When I was free to let the tears fall. One fell after the other and soon they were straming down my face. I buried my face in the covers and let the sobs and brawl escape from my mouth.

A/N Hope you like the 1st chap. :)
