I am soooooooo sorry that I haven't updated this story in so long. The writers block is real. But! Now that school has ended and I've been working, the writing brain is back in action! So here's a (really) short chapter to get things going and get us back into the action!
"So tell me about this Laxus guy." Natsu scooped another bite of cake into his mouth. It was one of the best tasting things he'd ever had! He could almost taste the actual egg that was used to make it! Lisanna smiled sadly before she bagan her story.
"He was a rank above Mira. Always. We all knew each other since we were kids but Laxus, well, he was the real leader. Always rallin gus together and getting us to do things that we at first didn't want to do. He went into the military and we all followed. From there things just kind of took off to be honest." Lisanna paused to eat some cake.
"Him and Mira married just before this all started, friends for the entire time before that. Things were pretty great to be honest. We fortified the town and figured out how to get energy from a nearby river. Life was good. Then those bandits started attacking."
"The first couple attacks were small. Nothing more than some gunfire exchanges every once in a while so we thought nothing of it. Then one night everything went to hell. They came with trucks and weapons and drove right through the gates killing everybody in their way. We had no plans to deal with that kind of attack at the time, no preprations or even any idea that something like this could happen."
"When they got to the front of the Courthouse Laxus was waiting for them with an machine gun. He opened fire and just started mowing down enemy after enemy, screaming bloody murder. He got shot in so many places but he just kept firing and firing. Killed at least half of them just in that one spot. Everybody rallied behind him and helped to chase them off but not before he lost too much blood." Lisanna's voice cracked and she had to stop telling her story. They sat in silence eating their cake before she finally looked up at him again.
"I've told you our story, you have to tell me one now."
"Any in particular?" Natsu already had an idea of what she was gonna ask.
"Who's G.C.?" Lisanna inquired. Natsu sat back and looked at her.
"He was our teacher. Gray, Gajeel and I travelled with him for the last five years trying to find somewhere safe."
"What happened to him?"
"We were attacked a few weeks ago. It was my fault though. I wanted to barter and-"
A gunshot rang out. Glass shattered. Behind Natsu Erza screamed and in front of him Lisanna slumped forward onto the table. Blood splattered his cake.
There'll be another chapter out this week guys. Much longer (maybe the longest of this series) and jam packed with action! Please read and review y'all. I love hearing what you think!
