"I'm surprised we haven't been attacked yet." Sara wondered as they turned down a tunnel into a large room.
"Do you think they don't know where we are?" Lisanna asked.
Sara shook her head, "no, they know where we are. One must be waiting for us somewhere."
Juvia was quiet and it made Sara uneasy. She noticed that Juvia wasn't glaring daggers at her but instead held a sorrowful face. Lisanna was able to bring out a smile every once in awhile but Sara could tell this was her doing. If they know about me and Gray, then Juvia must be heartbroken. Damn those nosy people.
"I was wondering, how did you find the lacrimas to give you the different magic." Lisanna asked, seeing as Juvia nor Sara was going to make small talk. She could tell Juvia was still hurt but she couldn't see Sara as the bad guy. She could see that this was something no one had control of.
Sara smiled at her, "It was extremely hard but we were able to find a Dark guild to make it. Of course we had to give some of our energy source to make them but it gave us the ability to have full control. We got it right after sealing Lucy's magic."
"Ju..Juvia wants to know why you did that to Lucy-san." Juvia spoke up.
Sara was surprised by this but answered, "The truth is we were fighting another hybrid just before. He had the upper hand but Lucy unleashed a large amount of her magic to defeat him. Because she did that she drained most of her power and without a mate or magic source she would have died so Gabriel and I transferred the last of our magic into Lucy and sealed it so she would never go without dragon magic."
Juvia was amazed by this. "Why didn't Lucy find Natsu-san earlier?"
"We tried. When we found out Lucy was dying we left to search for him a month later."
"Is that why Lucy ran away from home?" Lisanna asked.
Sara nodded. "It's part of it. The other part was that she needed to get away from her father around then. Anyway we went searching but couldn't find him. I guess it's a good thing we made Lucy go to Hargeon otherwise she wouldn't have found Natsu." Sara laughed at the last part.
Lisanna and Juvia giggled, agreeing. When they were done Lisanna asked something that she was wondering. "Sara, if Lucy needs to mate with Natsu for his magic source and you two also take Lucy's magic, then why do you need mates?" Sara and Juvia were taken back by the question.
Why couldn't she avoid this subject until after we found Lucy? Sara glanced at Juvia and frowned. Seeing this Juvia felt a bit guilty for her. "Juvia wants to know." She said to encourage her.
Sara looked up and nodded. "Well, we don't need mates but since our mother was the celestial dragon it's in our genes. Plus, we take the energy from our own mates and so it allows Lucy to take a break from us." She looked at Juvia. "So, it's not like we really need a mate, and we can survive without one. So if our mate has someone else in mind then it's alright."
Juvia gasped at this. Gray-sama could still be mine? Even with this thought Juvia couldn't find happiness. Lisanna saw this and sighed. "Alright you two, we need to figure this out right now."
"We can't, Lucy is so close and with those Knights after us…" "I don't care. Even if we run into them we need to work together and with this strain then we can't fight together." She did have a point. Sara looked down the way they needed to go with worry. Her only concern was Lucy; her feelings had to come second.
"Now, we have a love triangle that needs to be fixed between you two and Gray."
"There's nothing to talk about." Sara practically shouted. When she saw their shocked expressions she felt bad and took a deep breath. "I can't stray from my mission to protect Lucy. As a Dragon Knight it is our duty to protect our hybrid and the fact she is my sister makes it more personal. So I can't be worried about mating unless it deals with Lucy. Like I said, I don't need a mate." She turned and started walking, ignoring the pain in her insides. Juvia watched her walk away, unsure of what to do.
"Now what?" Juvia looked towards Lisanna. "She just said you could have Gray for yourself."
"Juvia doesn't feel good." Juvia confessed. "Sara."
Sara turned, making the girls gasp as they saw her eyes tear up. "Juvia doesn't like when people cry." The two walked over.
"I'm not crying." Sara turned and rubbed her eyes furiously. Lisanna looked at Juvia and smiled. Juvia smiled back and turned to Sara. "Gray-sama was the first to show Juvia that there can be happiness through her rain. He gave Juvia strength no one else could. Juvia couldn't help but fall in love with him."
"I know Juvia, and it's alright. I don't even know him and I have to focus on Lucy first. You have a better shot at him anyway."
"That's not true Sara." Sara turned back to see tears in Juvia's eyes. "Juvia has tried to make Gray-sama notice her with little success. And yet, you came into our guild and he couldn't take his eyes off of you. Juvia knows Gray-sama can feel the bond with you just like Lisanna feels the bond with Gabriel." Hearing this made Lisanna and Sara blush. "If Juvia has to give Gray-sama up, then Juvia is glad it is to you."
"Juvia." Sara sighed.
"Just promise to be good to him." Juvia sobbed as the tears came down. "And not get mad when he strips."
Sara smiled, hugging the girl as she sobbed into her shoulders. "Don't hurt him."
Lisanna looked at the two with relief and happiness. Nothing was truly settled until they clear up the situation with Lucy but at least the air was clear here. Just one thing worried her: what would Juvia do now? Her main reason for coming to Fairy Tail was to win Gray but now what?
The two pulled apart, laughing at each other's faces. "Lucy found some great friends." Sara said.
"At Fairy Tail we are like a big family." Lisanna said. Family huh? Sara found herself thinking. You did good Lucy.
"Now let's go get Lucy." The three cheered.
"Na uh!" The turned as Marshie appeared in front of them. "Miss me?"
The three looked at each other, smiling. "We can do this." They got into fighting stance. "Remember, she's a storm mage."
"And your fake magic doesn't work on me." Marshie sang.
Lisanna glared, "It's time to shut her up." Lisanna then turned into her cat form and pointed her claws at Marshie. Juvia moved her hands as water came out.
Wow, these are some cool magic. Sara thought.
Marshie smiled. "Oh this will be fun. HURRICANE." Lisanna and Sara jumped out the way when a large wave hit Juvia. She was able to blend in with the water but was surprised when she couldn't control the water and felt the impact actually hurt her. Her water is strange.
"You were able to stand my hurricane? Impressive."
Juvia shot her water beam and it hit Marshie. "You got her." Lisanna cheered. Sara shook her head. "No she didn't Juvia get out of there."
Juvia turned just as Marshie jumped up in the air. "SANDSTORM." A wave of sand hit next. Juvia ran out the way but the impact sent her to the ground. "Juvia."
"HURRICANE."
"BARRIER." Sara ran in front of Juvia and expanded her blue screens. The magic hit hard and when it stopped Sara's screen had a crack in it. "You're still as lovely as ever Dragon Knight." Sara shivered with disgust as Marshie made a kissy face at her.
Lisanna ran up at Marshie and was able to scratch her face. Marshie screamed in pain held her face before calming down. Her childish appearance gone. "You'll regret that." She growled. She moved her hands. "LIGHTNING STORM."
"LOOK OUT." Sara pushed Lisanna out of the way as she was hit with the lightning. Sara cried out in pain as she felt herself frying. When it was done Sara fell to the ground. "SARA." Juvia and Lisanna gasped.
"Don't..worry..about me. Lucy, would be upset…if I let you guys get hurt." Sara coughed, getting up. "Besides, that was nothing." Everyone was surprised. She stood up straight, breathing heavily. "I am a Dragon Knight. I will not give up until I save Lucy."
Marshie was taken back. This was the first time she had ever seen a Dragon Knight and the fierce look in her eyes made Marshie feel distressed but she shook it off. Smirking, she put her hands up. "So come at me, Dragon Knight."
