Author's note: Sadly, I do not own Fairy tail.


Lucy's P.O.V.

Fairy tail just won first place at the G.M.G. and the whole guild has been partying for two days straight. Finally tired of the stench of beer and the noise, I decided to go for a walk into the woods for some air. That was my first mistake. Not telling anyone where I was going was my second. I settle on the forest floor and lean my back up against a tree. No way am I going to get even more lost. Then again, I wouldn't be lost if I had paid attention to where I was going. I took a quick look around, hoping to see some sort of land mark that would tell me where I was. A sigh escaped my lips, nothing. I will just have to stay put and someone will find me… right? The leaves of a bush rustled and I heard a twig snap. Rapidly pushing myself to my feet, I ran, plunging deeper into the woods. So much for staying put. I should have expected this much would happen, but what I never even thought of as a possibility was running into the twin dragon slayers of Saber tooth, and especially not in this condition. Both Sting and Rouge lay battered and bleeding on the ground, both unconscious. We may have had some differences, but I just couldn't leave them there.

Slinging one slayer over each shoulder, I slowly trudged back the way I came, hoping to make it out of the woods. My knees buckle with each step I take, almost collapsing under the extra weight.

I don't know how, but I managed to find my way home and dragged them into my apartment. Carefully laying them down, I hurried into the bathroom and returned shortly, first aid kit in hand.

First, I tended to Sting's wounds, taking special care to his scar that has been cut open again, and then I moved to Rouge. Leaning over to get a better look, I delicately dabbed at a cut marring his cheek. His is handsome. They both are. But they won't be here long.

Sting's P.O.V.

The first things I realized when I awoke from the cruel beating from Master Jiemma is that I had no idea where I am, the air was permeated with the scent of vanilla and strawberry, and that blonde fairy was leaning over my best friend who lay at my side. The next things I discerned were that my injuries had been treated, and the fairy was currently wiping up some of Rouge's blood. "Oi Blondie, what's going on?"
