I stumbled after him, the train stopped suddenly throwing me forward toward Gajeel, "oww" I said as I rubbed my head, Gajeel didn't seem to notice that I had basically just head- butted him in the back

the doors hissed open and we walked out into the blinding light, I threw my hand over my eyes to shield them from the sun, Gajeel stopped short and bought a pair of sunglasses, which I though as a nice gesture until he opened his mouth

"here put these on, you look terrible"

my mouth fell open but I accepted the glasses putting them on. we walked into the closest restaurant and sat at a booth, I kept my glasses on. a woman with long red hair walked up to our table, she looked bored

"welcome to Polca. our special today is grilled cheese, how may I help you?" she asked in a dull voice Gajeel looked over the menu,

"I'll get the special and blueberry pancakes." the girl wrote down his order on her notepad, and looked over at me bored "and you?"

"coffee, and strawberry pancakes" the girl nodded and turned and left, i placed my head on the table

"coffee?" Gajeel asked as he lounged in his seat,

I looked up "I hear its good for hangovers." I said and placed my head back on the table. Gajeel chuckled,

we sat there in silence until the food came "here you go" the girl placed the blueberry pancakes in front of me and the coffee, grilled cheese, and strawberry pancakes in front of Gajeel "anything else?"

Gajeel frowned down at his plate "no, thank you" i said quickly before Gajeel could yell at her

"whatever" and she walked off. I switched me and Gajeel's plates around and grabbed my coffee,

"what do you put in this again?" I asked Gajeel as he bit into his grilled cheese

"cweam and sucar" he said through a mouth full of food

"huh? oh cream and sugar, gotcha"

Gajeel rolled his eyes as he shoved another mouthful of food into his mouth, I grabbed a cream packet from the basket on the end of the table and 2 sugars and added it to my coffee stirring it around. i took a sip of the coffee and cringed backwards, my face must have looked funny because Gajeel choked on his food,

"what?" I asked

Gajeel smiled "nothing, you should eat" Gajeel pointed at my food " I want to get going soon" i nodded and began to eat my pancakes

I insisted to pay so I brought out the extra jewels i found in my bag and paid for the food, we left the restaurant

"so where to?" I asked,

Gajeel shrugged "where do you want to go?"

I looked up at Gajeel confused "I don't know"

"just point in a direction and we'll go there" he said as he looked out over the town

"why?"

"I don't know, just do it" he looked over at me

I sighed "fine." I pointed in the direction of the trees "there"

Gajeel nodded "alright lets go there"

"wouldn't a key be in a store or something?"

"that would be to easy, I think it would be just about anywhere"

I nodded that made sense, "alright lets go"


we walked in to the forest "how much longer?" I asked we had been walking for hours

"until we find something"

I sighed "you know I'm injured right?"

Gajeel snorted "yeah by a rock"

I frowned "it was a big rock"

"I'm sure it was." we walked in silence for a while when suddenly Gajeel stopped

"what?"

"something is off"

I peeked over his shoulder "like what?" i looked around over his shoulder, Gajeel sniffed the air I walked out in front of Gajeel looking around the woods "I don't see anythi-"

i was shoved to the ground i tried to get back up but it was like some kind of force was keeping me on the ground.

"who are you?" Gajeel asked

"my name is Sabine, and you have information on someone I'm looking for" I raised my head up struggling to keep it up as a woman walked out into the open, she looked about her mid-30s, and she was short, with brown eyes that were so dark they almost looked black.

I recognized her, she was the woman who put up the request about Kash!

"I know you!" I yelled

Sabine threw out her arm and the pressure on my body got stronger my face fell to the ground, it felt like i had all the guild members piled on me after a huge brawl at the guild.

"wait your turn" Sabine said as she turned back to Gajeel

"what are you doing to bunnygirl?!" I heard Gajeel yell

"bunnygirl?" Sabine asked and began to laugh "I'm simply holding her there until I get you out of the way" she pointed at me and the pressure on my body got stronger I felt like my ribs were about to break I cried out.

"let her go!" Gajeel yelled, and ran at Sabine

I tried to get to my keys, my fingers brushing up against my pouch "iron dragons roar!" I could hear the beginnings of a fight but i could see anything I felt light headed I grabbed the first key I could grab "gate of the bull i open thee: Taurus!" I yelled I could see a bright light glow and thee was Taurus just barely in my eye sight "help Gajeel!" I yelled

"whatever I can do to help you and your beauuutiful body Lucy-sama!" he yelled as he brought his axe out and ran toward the fight.

I tried to lift my head again but still couldn't move. suddenly I was flying through the air as I crashed into a tree I felt one of my ribs crack and I screamed, I was flung at another tree I hit my back against it hitting my head against it, I willed my eyes to focus but then my vision went black.
