Lucy's POV
I cried. I cried hard, I let them down. I let down my family, my guild... all the people who were counting on me to win... I felt ashamed, I ached all over. Minerva isn't a kind person, I would have felt better if she would just let me lose by throwing me out instead of humiliating me by bringing me in to her over and over again, that pain. I'm embarrassed to even face my guild. I'm stuck in the water with the witch punching and kicking me all over. The tears in my eyes making everything blurry, I can't see anything. I can just feel that pain and hear my own screams. Her hand gripped around my neck holding my limp body outside the water, if she drops me... I'm gone... I can't move... can't fight back... my keys already on the floor... and then I fell...
Falling... falling... falling... I hear people screaming my name in fear, shouting at Minerva, even people laughing at my pain... As I hit the ground I feel four strong arms catch me, two abnormally cold, two abnormally hot. Gray, Natsu… I still felt the hard impact, but the fact that they caught me saved my life... I feel dead though, eyes closed, staggered breathing, but I can hear everything... Sabertooth laughing, Wendy trying to heal me... I can barely feel the magic working... is this... goodbye?
No, you can't kill a Fairy... not like this...
I was rushed to the emergency room; magic was making its attempt to heal my wounds. Natsu, I can hear your shaking voice. Gray, I can feel your scared through your hand that's holding mine. Erza, I can hear your cries... I can sense all the sadness in the room. I couldn't open my eyes and say I'm fine, I couldn't move my body to let them know I was alive... I could only keep my shallow breath going so they knew I was still here. I don't know what to say when I open my eyes though... How can I face them after I humiliated the name of Fairy Tail though, I'm weak... I lost the Flare too... I haven't won a single game I played in... not one...
Porlyusica and Wendy were trying their hardest to heal me, my bones are slowly joining together again, the bleeding stopped. I feel calmer, in less pain than before. My arms and legs were straightened out into a more comfortable position, I felt like screaming in pain when they were shifted, but my mouth refused to open. The magic stopped flowing through me and I heard someone walk away from me, "She's alive, but needs to rest. When she wakes up, she is not allowed to move." A stern voice said, it was a woman so I could only assume it was Porlyusica, then she left the room.
"Wendy, she's gonna wake up... right?" Natsu's voice trembled as he spoke, I wanted to wake up right then to prove I was alive, but I couldn't... "Yes Natsu-san. Lucy-san will wake up, I can guarantee it. The only thing that I'm unsure of is when..." "There is nothing we can do about that, so we should leave her to rest and continue healing." Erza said quietly, the tears were covering her voice and I struggled to hear it, "You're right, guys we should let her sleep and continue watching the games." Gray said, I heard everyone leave the room, "Lucy-san, I know you're okay... Please wake up soon..." Wendy said before she followed the rest out.
I'm okay Wendy, I promise...

Rogue's POV
Minerva... I knew she was cruel but this is evil... Sting was laughing his head off next to me, but I could see how injured the Fairy was... Broken bones, her body is completely limp. But through all that blood you can still see her beautiful face, perfect body, golden hair which was now tinted red... "Yo Rogue, what's with that face?" "Huh?" I looked to Sting, I kept my face and voice as flat as possible, it's not that I didn't have emotion, it's just I didn't like to show it... feelings show everything... and there are some things that I prefer to keep a secret, "I SAID WHAT'S WITH THAT FACE! YOU LOOK LIKE YOU SPOTTED AN ANGEL OR SOMETHING!" I almost flinched at Sting's loud voice in my ear, "You don't have to yell..." "Well then you should listen... It's not like you to suddenly zone out, did you finally see a girl that made you go crazy by just looking at her? Your face was so creepy, like you wanted to kiss her senseless or something..." I thought about what Sting said, how did I let down my barrier without realising? I've never done that before...
I scoffed and turned back to the fight, Minerva had the Fairy by the neck and was yelling stuff about how Sabertooth is the strongest guild, I could see Fairy Tail were about ready to kill, the Fairy looked dead... and then she dropped her... Everything went in slow motion and I saw the Fairy fall, I gripped the railing tight so I didn't get the urge to run and catch her. I saw Natsu and some other guy running with all their might and catch the blonde in the nick of time, if they didn't I'm sure she would have died form the impact if she wasn't dead already. I watched all this with a straight face, keeping all anger and jealously from seeping through my body. Jealously huh? Was I really jealous that it wasn't me that caught the Fairy? What is she doing to me? I didn't even know the girls name... I didn't join my guild members as they had a chat with some Fairies in the arena, Natsu was cursing his head off to Minerva, "You bitch! What do you think you've done?" The red head held him back and spoke, "I don't care if you're the strongest, or number one in Fiore. I will only say one thing. You have made enemies of the worst guild to anger."
Minerva laughed as she returned to us, the little blue haired Fairy was performing emergency healing in the middle of the arena so it was clear how bad the girl was injured. "Those bitches must be crazy to think they can beat us!" Minerva laughed again. I had to bite my tongue so I didn't yell at Minerva, that would really be foolish of me. The Fairy was rushed to the emergency room after a quick heal where I assumed she would be heal to a greater extent. Is this what our guild is like, evil and heartless? Yes... yes it is... You could feel the love from Fairy Tail, when Sting and I returned from a mission almost dead nobody in the guild helped us, in fact Master slapped us both and left us in the guild while everyone went home... we ended up sleeping on the guild floor that night then bandaging each other up the next morning... I didn't want to stay, but where else was there to go?
The games continued and I watched as some of the Fairies returned to their guild area, they talked a bit and I saw everyone sigh and hug each other in relief. It means the Fairy was alive... The new Fairy Tail team was introduced and a game between some weirdos started. I excused myself and left my guild area. It wasn't unusual, everyone knew I left once in a while because the fights got boring to me, but this time I didn't go to my usual spot. No... I went to the emergency room... to visit the Fairy.
So I'm going back and editing a whole bunch while I write new chapters. I hope I didn't miss anything, that would be embarrassing .-.
