Tired~
I'm exhausted..
Getting up at 5 am two mornings in a row, to thereafter walk through a snowstorm, here in very cold Denmark, only to work my ass off for hours lifting boxes and shit.. It's exhausting -.- (excuse my language, but I'm pissed!)
TAKE NOTE: Everything that happened with Juvia the last two chapters, happened before Gray and the others left Fairy Tail.
Oh well... writing chapters for you guys always makes my day, so enjoy this chapter, as well as the ones to come ;)
"Ersa?!" Gray yelled fully relieved of her arrival, in the panicked room. In after the scarlet haired woman came a seemingly sophisticated man, who instantly began working on the dying Levy, who's heart had just stopped.
"You didn't tell me, she had a hole in her abdomen!" the stranger yelled at Ersa, who seemed shocked at the scene she had walked into.
"A what in her what?" Happy asked confused, but no one paid him any mind, not even Natsu at this point. Every one stared at the man working to save Levy's live.
A beep, from the machine, sounded throughout the room, as the man had succeeded in restarting the small bluenette's heart. Everyone sighed relieved and Lucy slightly began to sob again.
"This girl need surgery immediately!" he almost sneered at the crowd, "Go find me an operating room now! A place with no windows and is cut of from the hallway!" he told Hana, who nodded and hurried out the room.
"How is she?" Gray asked quietly and stared intensely at the man, who seemed to be a doctor.
"how is she?~" the man seemed furious at everyone, "She's dead that's how she is! Sure she's still alive now, but only a miracle can save her from dying on the table, you dumb-ass!" The man seemed quite feisty. He didn't look that old either, only in his tweenies.
"D-Dying on the table?" Lucy seemed scared, as she looked at the doctor, who now looked sorrowful on Lucy.
"If I had operated a couple of days ago, she might have been fine, but now.. It seems unlikely she'll survive.." he explained and looked at the exhausted Levy, in the bed.
"Please doctor, you've got to do what you can to save Levy-chan~" Lucy sobbed, pleading the man.
"I found a room!" Hana broke in from the door, panting like she had been running the whole time.
"Right! Let's move!" The man said firmly and stared pushing levy, on the bed out the room, with the help of Hana. Everyone, of course followed and kept a fast pace, as they moved beside the bed. They quickly made it down the hall and stopped in front of a room, neither of the Fairy Tail mages or Leon had seen before.
The man pushed Levy into the darkness of the room and everyone tried to follow until the doctor turned to look at them.
"You can't be in here.. No friends or family allowed in the operating room" He stated and saw the rejected look on everybody's faces.
"Damn.." Natsu mumbled, and dumped himself on the floor, sulking.
"We understand.." Ersa said firmly and nodded to the unknown doctor. His face suddenly looked uncomfortable and he shifted, as he scanned everyone's faces.
"You might want to say... you know.. It's the last time you're gonna see her.. before.." He stated and glued his gaze to the floor.
"Shut up! We have faith in her... She'll pull through.. There's no need for goodbyes!" Gray sneered and ran a frustrated hand through his hair.
"If you say so" The doctor shrugged and shut the door behind him, leaving the worried crowd by themselves.
"Levy-chan.." Lucy sniffed and wiped her tears away.
"She's gonna be fine.. Lucy" Happy cheered her up and landed on her lap.
An hour went by and no one said a thing. The quiet ticking of the clock, coming from the empty hallway, calmed down most of them. Although Gajeel still impatiently drummed his fingers on the windowsill and Natsu found an beautiful spot of the floor to completely destroy, as he kept on scratching the same place over and over again, with a pen.
"Where's ice-breath?" The pink hired teen then asked, as Gray was not with them in the hall.
"Somewhere around, he's having a hard time somehow.." Ersa answered and looked around for the ice mage, "He's very worried.."
...
A loud bang filled the room, as Gray kicked a metal trash can, making it tip over and spill it's contents. The black haired teen stared angrily at the empty juice box, falling out the metal object loudly complaining on the floor.
Why was he here? Why not out to look for Juvia? How he hoped the bluenette was alive and well. Where was she? Was she in danger? Or maybe she was already... No! He couldn't think like that! He must have faith in her and trust that she could take care of herself.
Juvia..Where are you? It doesn't feel right, not having you here to bother me. Follow me around like you used to. Have crazy fantasies about me, because you can... Just don't disappear like this. You're scaring me..
Gray found himself panicking. What if he could never see the crazy water mage ever again? What if he would never again have the chance to see her smile. It scared him. He never thought about it so much before, but without Juvia around, his life would become weird. He had gotten used to having her around him all the time and now that she wasn't, he found it uncomfortable.
Juvia..
After getting over his small fit, he made his way back to the others, who waited on news about Levy.
"The fact that the doctor hasn't come out yet, means she's still alive.." Ersa comforted a sobbing Lucy. Gray sighed and dumped himself on the floor next to the sulking Natsu.
As much as he wanted to go looking for Juvia, he couldn't just leave Levy like this, plus he had no idea where to start looking.
Leon remained quiet the entire time, seeming in deep thought, as Gajeel had only gotten more impatient. Gray eyed the two, as he himself was a bit impatient as well.
"Who is that guy anyway?" Gajeel asked Ersa, who was busy calming down Lucy. The scarlet haired woman looked at her asker and sighed, giving up on Lucy.
"Dr. Wollowets, he's a surgical resident at Sakuraki hospital" she answered calm and collected. On that cue, the door to Levy's operating room, opened up and out came a very tired looking Wollowets. Everybody were up their seats in a matter of seconds and swarmed around him. Things like "How is she?" and "She's alive, right?", got muttered all at once, making it impossible knowing who said what.
"Would you calm down?! Don't worry.. I managed to stop the bleeding and close the hole in her stomach, but she'll still need full observation 24 hours a day and I don't know when she'll wake up, if ever." he explained, calming them a great deal.
"That's great, but does that mean she might not wake up, ever?" Lucy sighed relieved, yet still very worried. All eyes went from the doctor to Lucy, then back again.
"I'm afraid so" Wollowets nodded and looked sorry on Levy's behalf.
"She'll be fine!" Natsu grinned at Lucy, who had been on the brink of tears once again.
"Can we see her?" Ersa asked the doctor, who shook his head.
"Not yet, she needs rest"
And with that, a couple of long hours went by, with everyone still as worried. What if Levy never woke up again? What if it was a life long coma? After some time Wollowets had finally given the crowd permission to see the messed up Levy. She looked awful. Her usual pink cheeks, now had a lifeless grey colour and her warm smile, was now just grey parted lips, supporting a transparent tube going down her throat.
It wasn't long though, before everyone began panicking, as the small bluenette made choking sounds and shook her body. Wollowets had quickly removed the tube, in her mouth, and told everybody that it was a good sign, as she now could breathe on her own.
What felt like days went by, even though it was only hours. Eventually, everybody had settled down and waited for any form of good reaction from Levy. Suddenly coughing sounds were heard from the small mage and the friends of said mage, was quickly at her bedside.
Brown eyes slowly opened and looked dazed for a moment. As she tried moving, she flinched in pain and the eyes quickly shot closed once again.
"Levy-chan, try not to move.." Lucy said, trying to sound calm, as sobs made their way up her throat once again. Levy swallowed and held still, as she was told.
When her eyes opened again she scanned her surroundings, with tired eyes. They stopped at Leon, standing to her right and she opened her mouth to speak.
"Leon-kun... Everyone.."
"You should save your strength" Ersa cut her off and pushed her way past Natsu, who growled irritated at her.
"Ersa's right.. you don't need to over do it.." Lucy said and took hold of Levy's hand, startling her at how cold it was. She then placed it between her own two and smiled.
"Lu-chan.. I-I.. need to.. tell" Levy stuttered, getting everyone's attention, "About.. Juvi..a-chan.."
"What about Juvia?! You know where she is? What happened to her?!" Gray broke in, clearly wanting to know and now. Lucy sent him a dirty look, telling him to back off, but he didn't really care at the moment. He just stared at Levy for an answer.
"I'm..Sorry...I couldn't.." Tears began forming in the small bluenette's eyes and she sobbed, "I.. Couldn't..I didn't.. know..She needs..help.. I couldn't.. save.. her. It's all.. My fault.."
This earned Gray a couple more glares. Gajeel looked uncomfortable seeing the, usual strong willed, bluenette act like that and frowned.
"Shut up shorty.. Whatever happened was not your fault, you hear me?!" He sneered at her, but avoided meeting her gaze.
"P-Please.. save her.. Kidnapped.." Levy threw in words, unable to form a full sentence, "We were.. Attacked.. Creed.. Fake Juvia.."
"What's a Creed?" Happy asked confused, breaking the silence that had befallen the room for a second.
"Are you saying Juvia got kidnapped?!" Gray asked loudly, ignoring Happy's question. Levy nodded weakly and coughed a bit more. Of course everybody took this serious and looked at one another.
"How are we gonna find her then?!" Gajeel asked, in an angry tone, making Lucy flinch, as she stood right beside him. With that question on discussion, the room filled with voices, coming up with different ideas and suggestions on where to start.
"Hey guys!" Leon called out, silencing everybody's loud voices, "Maybe I can help with that.."
They all stared confused at him. Even the weak Levy, didn't understand.
"You see, I recently went on a mission, to bring this guy some information, name's Neel, and when I talked about it to Levy and Juvia.. Juvia suddenly looked very pale and acted strangely, which let me to believe, she knew something about this guy. I know where his house is, it may be just a hunch, but it's the only clue we've got" the red head explained, which let to everyone nodding in agreement.
"You've got to take us there!" Gray said and looked seriously at Leon.
"Of course!" Leon then grinned.
At that time, we had hope once again. With Leon's new clue, we were confident that, we would be able to rescue Juvia and all go home safely. What we didn't know though, was that something was about to change and we might not be able to achieve that goal at all..
I'm really too tired to write any more today. Probably no chapter tomorrow, I don't know.. Maybe..
I'm sore all over and my body is literally exhausted~ -.-
Please please Review~
See ya.. *yawn*
