"Save…..her…" Natsu lost consciousness and started falling forward.
Gajeel was automatically there and caught him. He turned around to see everyone still staring at the sight before him.
"Well?! What are you standing there for?! We've got to help them!" Gajeel's shout brought everyone out of their daze and people started rushing forward or getting out of the way. Screams over screams. So much confusion.
"STOP!" Makarov was standing on the bar, his head low so no one could see his tears. "Gray! Get Lucy and hurry her up to the infirmary. Gajeel, get Natsu up there too. Mirajane, Lisanna, Wendy, and Erza, get up there to help. Everyone else, I want you all to remain calm. If you want to remain to help, stay here and you will be called on, probably a lot, to help. If you would like to go home, I understand. Get word out to all the other members. We aren't sure yet if it was an attack on the guild and this was just a warning or what, but be very cautious. No more missions till we figure out what happened! And Jet, get Porlyusica! Hurry up, you brats!"
Jet hurried out. Gray rushed over to Lucy, a silent tear running down his face. "Lucy.." He lightly picked her up bridal style, leaning her head against his chest. 'Please please please be ok' he thought as he rushed to get her up the stairs.
Juvia watched from the side, tears sliding down her face, not even bothered by Gray picking up her love rival.
Gajeel picked up Natsu and rushed to follow Gray. The smell of blood and death was eating at his sensitive nose. He may think the people in this guild were really stupid, but he has come to care for them. 'Whoever did this to flame freak and bunny-girl is gonna pay.'
As soon as everyone was upstairs that he told to go up there, Makarov turned to the rest of his children. No one moved. No one took their eyes away from the infirmary door. "Mavis looked after them and got them here. All we can do now is wait." If anyone heard him, they showed no signs. A few moved towards chairs and tables, but not one looked away from the infirmary door. Makarov sighed and prepared himself mentally before heading up the stairs.
Walking in, he saw Wendy using her healing magic on Natsu. Mirajane and Erza were cleaning Lucy off and throwing away her shredded clothes so they could pinpoint the exact wounds and figure out which ones were more serious. Gray was holding Lucy's hand and staring at her face, begging her to hold on and keep breathing. Lisanna stood by Natsu's bed putting a cold towel on his head to clean the wound. Gajeel stood as far away from them as possible because the smell reminded him too much of Phantom Lord.
Makarov seeing Gajeel told him he could leave if he wanted to. Gajeel bowed his head and quickly got out of the room.
Suddenly, Natsu screams in pain, making both girls attending his wounds jump back. His screams turns to panting as he stares at the ceiling. Wendy goes back to attending the wounds on his upper thigh only to be stopped by Natsu grabbing her arm. "For..get….bout….me. Save….L…Lucy…" he manages to choke out between pants.
Wendy looks to Lucy then to Makarov, at war in her mind on what to do. Makarov looks over to Lucy. "Wendy. Fix that nasty wound on her stomach while I talk to Natsu."
Wendy nods before running over to Lucy. Makarov coughs back tears and looks to Lisanna, who nods in understanding before running over to help with Lucy.
"Natsu. Let Wendy heal you. I'm sorry, son, but looking at Lucy's condition from here, I'm not sure she's going to make it."
