"Gajeel!" I fought against Loke as I watched the temple continue to fall on top of Gajeel. Loke lost his grip on me and I ran as fast as I could toward the last spot I saw Gajeel

"Lucy!" Loke yelled after me but I didn't turn back to him

I fell to my knees as I got to the temple pulling and digging at the rocks and boulders in front of me until my fingers bled. Tears fell down my cheeks

"Lucy" Loke grabbed my wrist but I pulled away I had an idea and sprung to my feet almost knocking Loke over

"gate of the maiden I open thee Virgo!" Virgo appeared in front of me

"yes princess?"

"Virgo dig under ground and get Gajeel."

"right away princess" Virgo dug her way under ground as I paced back and forth

"Lucy" I looked up at Loke as I heard his voice

"why did you pull me away? I could have gotten him!" I yelled as I continued to pace

"Lucy I was protecting you"

"you should have got him! Not me" I would have said more but suddenly Virgo appeared with Gajeel I gasped and ran to her. Gajeel's had bruises and cuts every where his arm was broken and I knew with that much damage some of his ribs were to.

"he is quite injured princess"

"Loke take Gajeel to the village I'll be there as soon as I can"

"Lucy-"

"now Loke" I stared him straight in the eye I didn't know why I was being such a bitch to him I mean he probably just saved my life. But he should have saved Gajeel.

"as you wish" Loke took Gajeel from Virgo and disappeared

"Virgo you can go." Virgo nodded and left

I was out of breath by the time I got to the village. I found the tent that Gajeel was in there were about ten different people all working on him. Everyone with even the slightest knowledge about medicine was helping him.
I was so caught up in all the chaos that I didn't even notice the girl standing beside me

"Lucy was it?'

"yes."

she smiled "my name is Camilla, you seem to be injured. Please sit"

I sat down in the chair across from me, Camilla began cleaning my cuts and bandaging them. She grabbed my hands noticing all the blood and dirt

"what happened?"

"uhh" I shook my head trying to lift this dazed feeling "I was digging."

Camilla didn't say anything else just nodded as if she understood. She cleaned and bandaged my hands and stood up. "your friend is going to be okay. Everyone is helping." I nodded and she left.

It had been 3 days since Gajeel and i were at the temple. Everyone said that he was recovering but he still hadn't woken up. I was sitting at home reading when someone ran into the house, I recognized her, but I forgot her name. Carmen? Cali? Camilla! Right that was here name she bandaged my wounds.

"Camilla? What is it?"

"Lucy! Gajeel is awake"

I didnt wait a second before I put down my book and followed Camilla to the medical tent. Gajeel was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, someone was helping him to sit up when I walked in. He looked like he was in so much pain just by that one action. Gajeel looked up at me and smiled slightly

"thought I was dead didnt you?"

I smiled "your too stubborn to die"

Gajeel laughed but it ended in him spitting up blood Gajeel groaned as he laid back on his pillow

"whats the damage? I feel like I was hit by a train"

"more like crushed by a building"

Camilla spoke up "you have 5 broken ribs, your arm is fractured and you may have some internal bleeding. Now we would be able to fix all this but our supplies are low and the ship doesn't come in for a couple more weeks."

"how long have I been out?" Gajeel asked Camilla

"three days we expected it to be longer with all your injuries."

"Gajeel its almost the end of the week. Jason will be here soon"

"damn it"

"we can wait longer."

"what about the key? Do you have it?"

"key? Oh right I haven't used it yet."

"well what are you waiting for?" I looked around the room at all the doctors staring at us.

honestly i had forgotten all about it it was probably still in my pocket at the house.

"I don't have it here."

"well I guess we can use it later." Gajeel laid back down on the bed

"you need rest for right now. Lucy can you come back later?"

"of course." I turned around and left walking to the house. I walked straight to my room where I found my skirt I went to the pocket pulling out the key. it was just like Katrina's key but it was more of a green. I wonder what kind of power this key had. I stared at it for a moment before shoving it into my bag. I didnt want to know. not yet at least not until Gajeel was here.

The next day I waited at the docks for him to come watching the water hit the shore I finally saw a boat in the distance after a couple hours of waiting. That's when I had an idea. I could leave with Jason get something to speed up Gajeel's healing and come back. Maybe Porlyusica had something. But I couldn't leave Gajeel here alone. What if he would kill me. It would probably take me a couple days to get to Porlyusica's house and then another couple days to get back. But it would be faster if I just took him to her and that's what I was going to do.

"Hey Lucy" Jason said as he jumped of his ferry.

"Hey Jason. Listen we have a little problem. Gajeel is injured and I need to get him to a friends."

"how bad is he?"

"he's conscious but i still need to get him to her."

Jason looked reluctant "as long as you can take care of him then yes."

I smiled "great."

Jason helped me get Gajeel on the ferry. Most of the villagers didn't think it was a good idea to move him but I had to take the risk.

I felt like this was all my fault so if I could get Gajeel to Porlyusica then I guess that was what I was going to do. Jason gave up his room for Gajeel. I slept on the couch while Gajeel slept in the bed.

It was going to be a long couple of days normally me and Gajeel would be doing something to pass the time but now it was just me really Jason was to busy to talk or hang out so I was pretty much alone. I read mostly I was almost finished the book I was reading when Jason came in

"Hey what are you doing?"

I looked up from my book "just reading. What's up?"

"We're almost in Magnolia."

"Alright."

"are you sure you don't want to wait until daytime?"

"No we'll be fine."

"Alright"

I left to grab my bag leaving Gajeel and Jason behind, Porlyusica's house was on the out skirts of magnolia hopefully me and Gajeel could just get to Porlyusia she could help heal Gajeel faster so we could get back on the hunt for the keys.

I walked into Gajeel's room o see him struggling to get his shirt on

"whoa! don't do it yourself!" I ran over to him helping him put his shirt on

"I'm fine" he said laying on the bed he was out of breath and pale. I was seriously starting to regret my decision to bring him along.

"are you ok to walk there?"

"yeah I'm good."

"alright well lets go."
