"Hey shrimp, how long until we find Natsu and Gray?" Gajeel grunted under his breath. The heat and smoke was making it hard for him to breathe. And the water mage on his back didn't help the slightest. Her skin going colder, paler, lighter every seconded against his hand. He was worried, but let it slip his mind.
"Don't call me shrimp! It doesn't seem to be long until we get there" she grunted. Her back hurt and she felt her feet giving up on her. But she turned her head slowly and look upon Juvia's face. There wasn't a single movement. Her calm face with little drops of blood and bruises started appearing on her face. Levy could feel her heart breaking at the sight. How could this happen. It wasn't any of Juvia's fault yet she still suffered…Levy tried to get all the voices out of her head, and continued searching for the two boys.
"Gra-" Juvia barley was able to slip out. Her voice seemed almost…dead, soft, tormenting. She was getting weaker and Gajeel and Levy could sence it. Gajeel felt sick in his stomach. But he attempted to wither away the thoughts…until
Only a couple minutes passed and Gajeel realized Juvia wasn't saying Gray-sama anymore. The pain and sickness re-entered his stomach again. But before he could do anything. "Hey look! Its Natsu and Gray!" relief swept over their faces.
"Hey, rain woman. Gray-sama's here" He laughed expecting the water mage to spring up and run to her prince charming but yet…there was no reply. The pain got worst and he whispered again…"It's Gray-sama"….Yet still no reply. Just hoping she would say it….just one more time.
Before the Iron mage noticed, he was screaming….crying….almost dying inside. He hugged the Water mage close, almost squeezing her to death while Levy stood there….unable to move, unable to speak…unable to breathe. All Gajeel's cry's and screams caught Natsu's and Gray's attention. The seconded the Ice mages eyes set on the blue hair….he ran.
"JUVIA!" He cried, he could feel his warm, hot tears spill down his now sore, red eyes. He stretched his arm out just to hold her and get to her quicker. Just to feel her heart beat…
Well….if there was one...
