How could they have found it? The enchantments should have warded them off. Every thing was bright. What could be so bright? Fireworks, Sun, Flames? That was it the village was on fire.
Wait I'm being carried who is it? I could barley see but I could tell what was happening. Hunters had found the village and were attacking. They had set the building on fire to drive us out. My brother found me just in time but I had still been burnt. Pain flared up my leg, as my brother kept running, he noticed I was awake.
"Are you okay, I'm taking you to a safe place." He said
"I-I think so but where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere far and safe."
"But what about the village, our friends, everyone!" before he could answer I felt another way of pain. Some of the hunters noticed we were escaping and starting chasing after us but before I could do anything I blacked out.
After a long journey back from a job, it was snowing in Magnolia.
"WE'RE BACK MAGNOLIA" shouted a pink hair teen.
"Geez Natsu can't you keep quiet for a second!" yelled the blonde, Lucy.
"Well he is a hot head." said the dark blue haired guy, Gray.
"What did you say ice block." Natsu
"You heard what I-" before he could finish the stronger red haired girl, Erza yelled "That's enough you two or do I have to use you as practice dummies?"
"What do you mean look we are buddies!" they said in unison.
They were coming back from a job they had finished and were heading towards the guild to take a break.
"Actually guys, I have to do something first. I'll meet you at the guild later." Gray said.
"Alright see you soon." They said
The truth is he just wanted some peace and quiet before doing anything else. Being in the snow made him calm, thinking about his training with Ul. Oh well what to do now he thought? Just then he hurt a noise down the alley near by. It was a girl or at least he thought it was. She was covered in dirt. She was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans after looking he noticed they were torn and ragged. She looked like she was cold and in pain Gray thought.
I can't believe brother would just run off like that, Where could he have gone? I thought to myself. A few towns back, brother had said it might be safer to split up and meet up somewhere else. I didn't want to but the way my burn on my leg was, I was probably holding him back. Also with the amount of power we have its easy to spot of.
"Damn their still following me!" I whispered. I have to get away before they catch me. Oh no there's a guy at the end of the alley if they see him they might think he's with me and hurt him. Maybe i should warn him but do I even have time a barley got away this time.
Too late the Hunters found me!
The guy had a worried expression on his face. He was tall with dark blue hair and muscular.
He called out to me "Hey are you okay?"
"Run away!" I yelled
"Why what's wrong are you in danger?!"
Oh no he's going to get dragged into this. The Hunters were almost closing in on me. I think he realized I was being chased because his hands were starting to smoke, no that's not smoke its ice!
"Ice Make Floor" he yelled.
Between the magic and the snow they were slipping and slipping and were slipping farther and farther away. I'm safe for now I thought.
"Thank you for your help" I said to him
"Its no problem but what's with those guys? Why were they after you?"
"Oh um its nothing by the way my name is Lucia."
"Right my name is Gray. Are you feeling ok? You don't look to good and its snowing shouldn't you were warmer clothes?"
"Oh I'm fine plus I live somewhere warm so I wasn't expecting it to snow. I'll be alright." Hopefully I thought to myself.
"Well why don't I take you to the guild hall? It should be warm there."
"Maybe but I don't I should be leaving soon."
"Just for a little bit. Mira and Lucy would love to meet you and so would the others."
If its for a little bit it should be fine right? I thought. "Well if its only for a little bit. I guess that would be okay."
"Great I'll show you the way." Gray said
As we started to walk I could feel pain in my leg again I was cold but it felt like I was getting warmer. "Hey Gray, I'm not sure I can go much farther."
"Its not too fa- Lucia what's happened! You look as pale as a ghost!" He noticed she was wincing in pain.
"I think I need to take a brea-" before I could finish my last word, I collapsed into the snow, shivering.
