Faster! I need to put distance between us or I'll be captured, Kelekona had shifted to her Moonstalker form to put as much distance between her and the dark guild chasing her as possible. However her stamina was running low and her body was getting tired causing her to be a little bit slower resulting in the dark guild to catch up. She could hear their yells to try and get her. Being an elf had its draw backs when you've been in hiding from the human race. Kelekona could hear them gaining on her as she ran through the East forest. She heard one of the men shout a spell hitting her directly in the left shoulder causing a painful roar to leave her throat as she fell forward changing back into her original form breathing heavily. She could hear them approach her laughing as she lay there on the forest floor bleeding out.
"Thought you could get away from us didn't you girly," one of the men said as another bent down and grabbed her by the throat lifting her off the ground. "You belong to us now," the one holding her said as thunder started to sound. Kelekona could feel the electricity around her increase as a bolt of lightning hit one of the men while beams of green light flew past her hitting more. She could barely stay awake as blood seeped from her shoulder with every jerk the man made as he watched his guild mates get defeated.
"Put the girl down or you'll be next," said a deep masculine voice behind her as darkness invaded her vision. She felt the man let go of her throat as unconsciousness took her just as she was about to hit the ground. Before the dark guild member could get very far, he was trapped by a rune spell.
"She needs medical attention right away!" spoke a brown haired woman with glasses and a green strapless dress. She had gone to check on Kelekona after the dark guild was taken care of. The woman looked to her leader and said, "you're the only one who can get her to the guild fast enough Laxus. We'll get the authorities and meet you there." The big blond man nodded as he gently picked the woman up in his arms before using his magic to teleport them both to the guild hall to have Wendy heal her.
"Bickslow! Freed! I want you to round up and bind these dark guild scums while I go get the authorities," the woman spoke before running off. Freed nodded and got to work while Bickslow grinned and stuck out his tongue answering the woman, "you got it Evergreen."
With the dark guild being taken care of by his team Laxus used his lightning magic to teleport him and the strange woman in his arms to the guildhall. Once outside the doors, he kicked them open and called for the young sky dragon slayer to follow him to the infirmary where he laid the woman down on one of the beds. Wendy gasped upon seeing the gaping wound in the unconscious woman's shoulder before quickly getting to work on healing her. Leaving her to her work, Laxus left to go tell his grandfather of the incident. He found his grandfather sitting on the countertop of the bar drinking a mug of ale.
"Hey old man, I need to tell you something in private," Laxus said to his grandfather before heading towards the Master's office. The tiny wizard just raised his eyebrow at his grandson before following him. He jumped up onto his desk after his grandson closed the door behind them.
"What is it that you need my boy?" the old man asked in curiosity. It was rare for Laxus to want to talk to him like this. Laxus ran a hand through his blond spikes before filling the guild master in on what had transpired just minutes before resulting in the old man to freak out before demanding that Laxus follow him to the infirmary. Laxus did as he was told and followed his grandfather. They arrived just as Wendy had finished closing the wound. She looked up at the men and gave a small smile.
"She should be alright now. She just needs to rest," Wendy said as both men came up to the unconscious woman's beside.
"Any idea on who she is or where she came from?" the master asked as he looked at the woman in the bed. Wendy shook her head no as she too looked at the woman.
"The only thing I am able to tell is the she's an elf, and judging by the natural paleness of her skin I'd say a night elf," the young girl said looking towards the master. He had placed his hand on his chin in thought as he stared at the woman.
"It's very surprising to see such an ancient being. It was believed that they were all but extinct. Never in my years would I have thought to be granted such a sight as to see an elf in person… We'll let the girl rest for now and speak with her when she wakes up. Thank you Wendy, you may leave now," the master said with a smile on his face looking towards the young dragon slayer. The young girl returned his smile before leaving the infirmary just as the rest of the Raijinshu were arriving.
"Is she alright?" Evergreen asked as she, Freed, and Bickslow walked towards the master and their leader. Both males nodded as they looked towards the trio. Bickslow breathed a small sigh of relief earning him a raised eyebrow from Laxus. He just gave his usual grin with his tongue lolling out.
"She just needs some time to rest. We'll come back when she wakes up," the master said turning to leave. Bickslow, however, didn't feel comfortable with leaving the woman by herself.
"How about one of us stays with her in case she needs anything and to inform you when she wakes up?" Bickslow suggested looking at the master. The small man looked briefly at the seith mage before giving a smile.
"That's a good idea, who would like to take first watch?" the master asked. Bickslow beat everyone else to the punch and pulled a chair up next to the young woman's bed sitting down. After everyone left the infirmary, Bickslow removed his visor and placed it on the bedside table as he watched the beautiful creature before him sleep as a genuine smile appeared on his face. He admired her beauty, but kept his feelings locked away to avoid getting hurt.
