Oh... Hi there... *Dodges sword and arrows*

I'm really sorry that it took so long! I wont't come up with a 'school' or 'computer's fault' excuse. It was entirely my fault!

Anyway here's chapter 5 of ILYF! Hope you like it.

Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail and all its characters! I only own this story's plot!

Let the magic begin~

Gabriel's POV

I sat at the dining table and waited for Lucy. Our maids and butlers had made an amazing dinner to welcome her. I tapped my finger against the wooden table. I had known Lucy for less than a day and yet it felt like I had always known her. I unconsciously grinned to myself oblivious to the looks Bernard gave me. I finally heard some soft footsteps from outside the door. A maid opened the door and welcomed Lucy to take a seat. Lucy smiled softly at the maid and thanked her before taking a seat in front of me. She smiled sheepishly at me before she thanked for the food and dug in. I watched Lucy for a long time before I too started to eat.

After the dinner I followed her to her room and wished her a good night. After she had closed the door I stood a bit outside the door before going to my bedroom. I paced around in my bathroom until I settled down under my covers. I didn't take long until I drifted off to sleep.

Lucy's POV

I had just woken up from my sleep and sat on the bed, staring at the clock. It was 11:45 pm. I sighed and got up to get dressed.

I jogged down the stairs fully dressed to complete my mission. I wore a black long-sleeved shirt, a moss-green vest, black jeans and my dark brown combat boots. I had my keys and my whip attached to my belt. I glanced at my reflection in the windows. 'Wow. I look badass!' I smiled at myself and went outside.

The air was so cold that when I breathed I could see small white clouds coming out of my mouth. I started to run to warm myself up. It was dark and foggy. I couldn't even see the moon. I panted as my physical fitness wasn't the best. I turned and ran through a dark alleyway to get to the forest that was surrounding the city. I wanted to stop the spirit from entering the city. As soon as I had ran a couple of feet into the forest I slowed down my pace and started to go very slow and hid in the shadows. The forest was quiet, the only thing that I heard was my own panting's and some owl's. It was weird. The spirit usually came out now. I lurked a bit more until I heard a stick crack. I spun around but it was too late. I only caught a glimpse of a giant phantom like beast that swung its long tail right at me. I didn't have the time to duck so the tail slammed into me with full force. I was flung into the air and then crashed into a tree. Pain was shot through my whole body as my back came in contact with the rough bark. I landed on the grass and let out a groan of pain. I didn't have the time to rest as the spirit prepared itself for another attack. I quickly jumped to my feet and called out Capricorn. "GATE OF THE GOAT I OPEN THEE! CAPRICORN!" I chanted. In a golden flash Capricorn was by my side. Ready to fight.

Unknown POV

"Damn! We will never find that stupid spirit! We don't know how it looks, sounds nor do we know how it smells like! How the fuck are we supposed to find it?" I said while clinging on to my partner. He looked annoyed and only sighed.

"You know that it will appear sooner or later! Stop your nagging!" He said in an annoyed tone. I threw my hands in the air, groaned and started to walk in front of him. We were walking for quite a while before my very sensitive ears picked up a loud roar following a scream in the distance. "You heard that too?" My partner asked.

"Yes. I think some chick's in danger." I said and started to run in the direction of the roaring and screaming. My partner close after me. After a 10 minutes run we came to an opening in the forest. I only stared. Horrified of the sight in front of me. A bloody body of a familiar girl.

"Sting, do you see what I see?" Rouge asked with a shaky voice. I slowly turned around. My hands and my voice shaking.

"Y-yes"

Lucy's POV

I and Capricorn attacked at the same time. I secured the spirit with my whip while Capricorn attacked. Capricorn landed a huge blow to the spirit's right cheek. The spirit didn't make a sound. When I took a closer look at the spirit I noticed that it had a slimy, black and brown skin and big black eyes. It opened its mouth and a terrifying sight one feet long teeth dripping with a yellow liquid. I felt terrified and disgusted at the same time. Capricorn landed beside me with a bow. "Lucy-sama, you should stay away from the yellow liquid. It seems like it's poisonous." He said grimly. I nodded. I grabbed another key.

"GATE OF THE BULL I OPEN THEE, TAURUS!" I chanted. Soon my perverted bull spirit where standing beside me. He gave me a glance and a (perverted) thumb up. "Combine your attacks!" I told them while I still held onto my whip. They looked at each other and gave a quick nod before launching another attack. The blow hit the spirit right between its eyes. The spirit let out a roar that made the trees waver. It turned its head to me and it seemed like it looked me straight into the eyes. It opened its mouth and did something that resembled a wicked smile. I stared frightened at the spirit. It exhaled which made some of the yellow liquid to fly at me. I could only stare as the drops of yellow landed on my arms, stomach and collarbones. In the matter of second I started to feel a burning pain which made me scream out loud.

"LUCY-SAMA!""LUCY-SAN!" I heard the faint screams of my dear spirits, but I could only feel the pain. I dropped to my knees and I saw my spirits run to me only for the spirit to fling its tail at them making them disappear. I only stared at the spirit as it turned its head to face me. My whole body was covered in sweat and pain. I tried to stand up but failed. The spirit flung its tail at me and sent me flying again. I didn't crash into anything since a pair of strong arms caught me and gently helped me stand up.

"Loki." I said in relief. He grinned widely at me. He eyed the spirit confidently.

"Let me handle this Lucy." He said and launched the first attack. I could only watch. I felt useless. I couldn't help anyone. I almost started to cry, not because of the burning pain but because of my own incompetents. I felt my strength coming back to me and even if the liquid still burned, I took a step forward. I used every last bit of my magic to support Loki in the fight. With one last blow, we won. The spirit gave out one last roar. Loki turned to smile at me. But his smiling face fast became a horrified one. My vision started to get blurry and my knees started to shake. Loki moved his mouth and ran towards me, but I couldn't hear his voice. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. I look down only to see the end of the spirits tail impaling my stomach. I try to gasp but I can only feel the warm taste of iron in my mouth. The last thing I see is Loki's fading face, and a flash of blonde hair.

Then everything turns black.
