Lisanna POV
After Lucy and I split up, I couldn't shake away the bad feeling. Now I know why I was so worried. Now I know why my body tensed up as soon as we split. The answer lay with the bleeding girl that was slumped against the tree. Shaking, I lean down and shake Lucy, trying to get her to wake up, hoping to every god out there that she was alive. I touch her neck, feel a pulse, and take a step away.
"L-ucy?" My voice cracks as I watch her, my light shaking had not awaken her, she hadn't even stirred. Suddenly, I became aware of the monster that was stomping away into the forest, the only that had done this damage. With an inhuman growl, I leapt up off the ground and felt myself instantly transform into my cat soul, my strongest soul.
Now with my increased speed, I run like a bat out of hell towards the monster who dared to injure Lu. It hurt Lucy, it hurt Lucy, it hurt… the mantra was the only thought that was in my brain at the moment. I snarl menacingly once more, daring the beast to turn around.
It was only a few seconds later when I caught up with it. Seeing as how it wasn't paying attention anymore, I decided to launch a powerful attack, one that would majorly injure it. I launched up and attached myself to the monster's bony neck. I release my claws and hastily start to tear into its flesh, all the while it was trying to turn around to snap at me. Though its blood was pouring on me, it didn't seem to be doing any real damage to the monster, the only thing it seemed to be doing was anger it.
After a nasty deep rip, the monster had had enough and reared up on its hind legs, throwing my unprepared body off of it. I tried to grab ahold of it once again, but it did not help anything. I fall onto the ground and watch with unfocused eyes as the beast slowly walks towards me, licking its razor-sharp teeth. My heart beat sped up, and my breathing became faster. I stumble around, trying to stand back up, but failing miserably, mostly due to my nerves.
Finally I managed to regain my footing, and right in time too. I glance behind me and watch with wide eyes as the beast snaps at the air where I had previously been laying. If I hadn't moved… I shuddered as the thought ran through my head.
I try to stretch my nails, but I noticed my magic was running low. It was bad that I already could feel my energy draining. I guess I shouldn't have let my anger rule me, note to self, manage magic better in the future.
Then, the monster's gaze snapped back up to me. My ears twitched in anticipation, I was waiting for it to strike. I quickly sized it up, judging by its appearance, it doesn't seem too fast, nor does it seem able to withstand powerful attacks. I stand there waiting, my short hair waving through the wind.
Without any signal, the beast rapidly charges at me. I can only watch with wide, startled eyes as it approaches me. As it comes to a sudden halt in front of me, all I can do is brace myself as it raises its arm and with a mighty blow, sends me flying through the air.
WHAM!
The air is knocked out of my body and my eyes are unfocused. I try to raise my hand to rub at them, but as I do I hiss in horrible pain. I blink a few times and glance at it, wincing as I notice the odd angle my arm is now bent at. With my other hand, I pull myself into a sitting position, and accidentally touch something wet. Slowly I turn my head and look at my hand, it was covered in blood, beside it was Lucy, who was still unconscious.
I trembled involuntarily, then peered back over to the beast. It was staring at us, Lucy and me both. My magic then finally depleted, leaving me in my normal clothes and worse, defenseless. I curl up next to Lucy, knowing that I can't do anything to the monster without magic. Sensing the hopelessness of the situation, I grab onto Lu's cold hand and begin to cry.
As soon as the tears started, the monster decided to charge us. I knew it was only a matter of time. I clench onto Lucy's hand harder and release all of my emotions into the tears I thought were going to be my last. I squeeze my eyes closed when I notice the beast about to hit us and wait for the impact.
That's when I realized that there was none.
My eyes fly open and I stare, completely baffled at the yellow and red orbs surrounding Lucy and I. It shocked me even more when I noticed when the beast would dart at it, fire and lightning with simultaneously attack back.
I let out a delusional laugh and let go of Lucy's hand after checking for a pulse. There was one, a strong one too, despite the blood pooling around us. Though I was confused, I didn't waste time to check again. I gently leaned over Lucy and reached into the small purse she had carried around.
Feeling inside of it, I found what I had been looking for. I pull out the small lacrima and slowly sit back down, hyper-aware of the pain registering in my arm. I tuck it into my side and with clenched teeth, mutter out, "Fairy Tail guild hall."
As I tried to wait patiently, my eyes kept darting to the beast who would not stop ramming into the orbs, apparently trying to break into them. After a deep breath, I try to calm my nerves, but I could not stop fidgeting nervously.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, someone picked up the communication lacrima at the guild. "Laxus!" I call out, realizing who was on the other end.
"Whadda need?" He asked nonchalantly, as he sipped on a beer that had just been set down onto the bar.
"HELP! I...we need help!" I scream this out as the monster slams its body into my orb, dousing a few of the protective flames.
Suddenly Laxus looked very attentive, "What's wrong?"
"We need backup!" I gasp out, scooting closer to Lucy as my orb started to crack around the edges. "There's a monster, it hurt Lu badly. I'm out of mag-IC!" The monster slams its head into the orb again. Tears come out of my eyes as I watch the orb crack even more. "These… orb things.. formed around us. It's keeping Lu safe, but mine's breaking please just… hurry!"
"Show me the orbs!" Laxus demanded, his face coming closer to the screen. I nod quickly and turn the lacrima around, showing off Lucy's yellow orb that was spewing lightning and my red one spitting out fire. Laxus's voice then grew very cold, "We'll be there soon. Stay on the line for now."
He walks away just as my orb shattered around me, the beast, seeing the new damage, stopped for a second, then drug its talons into the ground before charging again, this time hitting its original target. The lacrima falls out of my hands as the horns of the monster viciously tears into my shoulders, pinning me to the tree behind me.
I let out an ear-splitting scream as my tears pour down my face, the last things I saw before I passed out was the orb around Lucy disappearing, along with Lucy herself, and a bolt of lightning striking the ground.
