Chapter 14: Wingless Fairies & Dangerous Dragons

Porluchka's POV

I looked through all of the books I had on spells that could heal the senses. I was on the last book until I found something, why hadn't I thought of this? I started to pack my things that was needed for the spell and left my home. I've become so attached to the blonde because of what she has gone through. I start to walk slowly toward the guild to think about how I could tell Makarov the plan. Indeed it was an enormous risk but it was the only way to preserve both of the missing senses she had right now.

Natsu's POV

I look at her peaceful face and sit down beside her. My head finds it's way to my head again with a sigh. I never sighed so much before. Lucy was still all skin & bones and she looked so weak and fragile. No I couldn't let myself think that; if it was anyone that was weak it was me, Lucy had gone through hell and back and deserved nothing but to be called a Warrior. I look at Erza and Gray and we decide to go to the guild hall to give Wendy some space.

"Lucy's in pretty rough shape, we need to get some muscle back into her." Gray says as we go down the stairs.

"We will, she just needs time. She's just been through too much." Erza said as she sat down beside Mira. The duo had already finished the orange juice and had put it in the fridge alongside Mira's pork cutlets. The two sat at one of the nearest tables to the stairs to the rooms and infirmary. Me and Gray sat across from them and we all sat in silence.

It was as if someone ripped our wings off. The fairies without wings. How ironic since we were usually called by that from Sabertooth. It was true though, she was our wings even though she had only joined for a year or two. I felt as though I was complete and now, my heart was torn into to with no one to blame but myself.

"Natsu. It is NOT your fault. It's all of ours." Said Mira, god only knows how Mira reads my mind at times like this. Igneel would usually tell me that I was easy to read.

"But it-" I was cut of by none other than Titania.

"IT IS ALL OF OUR FAULTS GOT IT." I couldn't fight against her right now. Not when my mind was running in circles. I only nodded as Mira went to get us some food.

Mira came back with some fire chicken, ice cones, and a strawberry shortcake. We ate in silence as our stomachs were filled. They weren't this stuffed in a long time. We all huffed out a puff of air indicating we were full and started to talk about random things to get our minds off of what is happening.

Wendy's POV

I was searching for a cure until I heard some shuffling near Lucy. She was starting to wake up but I remembered that she was supposed to sleep. My hands reach for her blanket and it lightly glazes over hand. I froze, her hands were ice cold. I pull up her blanket and try to warm her with magic but no avail. I run outside and call for Natsu.

"NATSU!" I scream eyes wide.

"What's wrong Wendy? Everything alright with Luce?" He replies with a scared face.

"No time to speak! Her temperature is really low, come here and warm her up quick! Erza, Gray go get some water and towels!" I shout as I run back inside the infirmary. The exceeds went to go get some supplies that might be needed for Lucy.

Natsu runs in fast as he takes her hands in his. I notice that her face is more pale and that sweat was starting to drip off of her face. Erza and Gray run in with a bowl with warm water and a towel. I take it and dip it in to put it on top of Lucy's head. I wipe off some sweat first. Laxus and Mira come in shortly afterwards and we sigh. The silence makes me realize something. I use my dragon senses and listen to her breathing and heartbeat. My ears specialize in it since I was the sky dragon slayer. Natsu and Gajeel's ears were good for fighting though. I listen intently and notice a weird pattern, it was as if there was something wrong with her throat. I put my hands lightly on her neck and use some magic. Her breathing was stabilized but her heart rate was still an issue. I go back to my book and start reading.

"Don't leave guys just in case." Was all I said before going back to my book for a cure for her breathing.

Laxus's POV

I take a look at Lucy and sigh. There was so many people sighing these days. Wendy was over at the table working hard and we were just standing there doing nothing. I hear some noise from the guild hall and walk out alone. No one was here since all of the guild members went out on jobs or had their own problems. I see two people I didn't feel like deal with standing right there. Sting and Rogue come in with their exceeds and walk toward me. Ever since that incident with Lucy, we were a target for Sabertooth because we lost our will to fight. They better not make me or any of us mad today, we are really not in the mood.

"So your slutty sunshine girl is back eh?" Barks Sting.

"What did you call her?" I ask him with anger in my eyes.

"S - L - U - T - T- Y. Tell your weak friend to teach you how to spell." Taunted Sting. I was just about to punch his face but something hit him before hand.

No One's POV

Wendy was reading and heard everything that was going on downstairs and snapped. No one talks about her sister that way. She ran out of the infirmary and kicked the Sabertooth man right in the chest causing him to fall back. Everybody from the infirmary ran out including Natsu. I could tell he wanted to fight but Erza stopped him. I walked toward him as I felt scales growing on my face and arms and everything went red.
