It was so cold and my body hurt all over. Lisanna, where was she? Did i push her out of the way soon enough?Did Mira get control of Elfman? Where am I? These questions sped through my mind causing me to wrack my brain of my previous moments of consciousness.
Lisanna and I had been evacuating villagers while, the other took care of the monster. We returned to find Elfman losing control of his takeover. Lisanna tried to talk some sense into him but that didn't work. She hadn't seen the blow coming so I had tried to push her away. I remember getting by her side then the world had gone blank.
Hesitantly I rolled over onto my side to get a better view of my surroundings. All the trees that I had remembered being lush and green were now burnt and broken. The questions still raced through the back of my head not allowing me to fully focus on the task at hand. Grabbing onto the trunk of a nearby charred tree I hauled myself up and tried to keep my aching body steady. This is when searing pain shot through my right leg causing a small gasp of pain to escape my lips. Grasping onto the tree more fiercely I assessed the damage. It was severely burnt and turned at a very disagreeable angle. I stood there holding onto that tree as if it was the arms of my older brother and cried my eyes out.
Hours passed and my tears never let up and the sky soon decided to join me in my tears. A rustling from some bushes a little ways off distracted me enough to stop the sobs from racking my body.
"H-hello is anyone there? My name is Lucy and my leg is badly injured so, i can not walk. I waited for a response but never got one. When i was about ready to chalk up the noise as false hope a girl stepped out of the foliage. The blunette looked to be about my age but, her eyes held a far deeper sadness than mine have ever known.
"Juvia is sorry for bringing the rain with her." For a moment I thought she had brought another person but soon realized she was referring to herself.
"J-juvia thank you, for bringing the rain the drip drop of the down pour helps me relax. Do you think you could help me a little more by taking me to a hospital?" The girls eyes at hearing the first part of my sentence turned wide and gradually turned serious
."Only if you become Juvia's friend." A smile overtook my blood and dirt smeared face," Of course I will Juvia." At those few words she smiled and jumped into action. She helped me up and supported my right side with her body. Slowly we made our way through the rain and the forest. After what felt like hours Juvia brought brought me to a castle looking building that had a purple banner hanging in front of it. I couldn't read the entire banner in the rain so the only word I caught was Phantom.
Present Day/ Natsu's POV
"Those Bastards." I was beyond angry as I looked at the destroyed building in front of me. This place had been my home after Igneel left and those bastards just came and destroyed it. The once proud standing tavern for mages was in ruins. Giant pillars of metal stuck out at weird angles and, the mark of Phantom Lord was disgracefully painted on the structure. I stood there gazing at the crumbling building until Erza came out and ushered me into the basement.
Down below crates were moved around to make a makeshift bar and tables. The air was thick with the whole guilds anger and annoyance. "What the hell. Those freaks destroy our guild and we are sitting in our basement with our tails between our legs." I was shooting accusing glares at everybody who was sitting around drinking like there was no a beer glass came sailing across the room and missed my face by a centimeter.
I quickly looked at Gray ready to kill him for messing with me in the mood I was sporting. The stripper had a surprised look on his face and he only pointed at Master. Master was standing on top of the bar with a peeved off aura surrounding him.
"I will not risk my children's safety by attacking a guild who is said to be of equal strength of us. Especially not over something as petty as a building that with a little hard work can be fixed." Before I could defend my side of the argument Erza sent me a death glare that almost stopped my heart. A few moments later Master announced that everybody needed to leave in groups and stay that way all night.
Erza grabbed me and ice princess then, dragged us to her lair that was being opened for boys tonight by order of the Master. The night was spent a little awkwardly. Truth be told I hadn't sat down and really talked to anybody in the guild for a long time. My days were mostly spent doing missions and searching for Igneel. I loved Fairy Tail with all my heart but, my heart was broken into so many pieces that it didn't matter anymore.
Erza knew this so the whole night she allowed me to sit back and listen to the two of them converse. Even though Erza and Gray had been a couple of my closest friends growing up and still were I wanted nothing more than to get the hell out of there. So the moment the sun rised I booked it the hell out of there. On my way back to the destroyed guild the crowd around me became thicker and started casting looks and whispers m way. I had a bad feeling since this was almost the exact thing that had happened yesterday on my way back.
Without thinking I started running to the guild hoping that nothing else had happened. When I got there I stopped in my tracks as my body started to shake violently. Hanging from the big oak tree was Team Shadow Gear beaten to a pulp.
Hanging above them was a blunette whose clothes were ripped to shreds and, were her skin was exposed harsh and demeaning words had been written. However, what stood out the most was her black Phantom Lord mark that looked to be burned into her stomach skin. The sight of what they had done to my guild mates and one of their own made my blood boil. The people around me started backing up as the grass beneath my feet burned from my rising body temperature.
"Those bastards."
