She was hurt,she could feel it.
She was awake,but didn't have the strength to move even one of her eyelids. She didn't possessed the power to open her eyes,let alone stand up.
The last thing Lucy remembered before losing her consciousness was the giant flash of dark red in front of her.
After a while of thinking about the giant red flash and the explosion,it all started coming back to her.
"No way! Everyone!" She thought before sadness filled her. She didn't know if anybody had survived. In fact she wasn't sure she herself was alive either.
"I have to get up. I have to make sure everybody is okay." Lucy decided and mustered up what strength she had left,but to no avail.
She was too beaten down and wounded. She had never felt this desperate and weak before. Sure there were times in the past where she took a beating. During the Phantom Lord's attack,she was beaten pretty badly by Gajeel and once again by the weirdo Kain Hikaru during the S-Class trials. But both of them felt like a bee sting compared to this.
"I can't give in now! I have to make sure they're okay. My friends,my family. Erza,Natsu,Gray,Happy,Wendy,Carla,Levy-chan,Juvia, Gajeel,Master,Mira,Lisanna,Elfman,Freed,Bickslow,E vergreen,Laxus... Everyone at Fairy Tail and the Alliance. The Trimens,Millianna and Kagura,Jura-san,Sting,Rogue and Yukino,Sherry,Chelia,Lyon... Even Ichiya. Almost everybody she had cared for was out there. She needed to find them and make sure... They were alive." Lucy decided to give it all she's got.
She moaned and groaned and suffered. But was able to lift her back from the ground and open her right eye for a brief second. The air was dusty and dense. She realized even if she did open her eyes she couldn't see a thing.
The pain on her chest grew much more and she realized that she had a punctured lung. The pain doubled when she rolled over. She finally gave in and let herself to the ground. She collapsed and fell unconscious.
She awoke again after a while and fell unconscious again.
She woke up again and felt a burning sensation through her chest. She knew she was dying. Even though her eyes were closed she could feel a bright,warm light ahead of her.
"Is this dying? It's not so bad." Lucy decided and let herself be wrapped up by the light. And the light indeed formed around her body and lifted her from the ground and they started flying.
At mid-air,Lucy felt lifeless and exhausted. She fell unconscious again.
She awoke several hours later.
But the pain in her chest was gone. And she was able to open her eyes now.
She looked at her own chest. Her chest and breasts were bandaged. Her face had some bandaging too. Her right hand and left leg was covered also.
Somebody had brought her here and attended to her wounds. She didn't know how long was she unconscious but remembered the last time she was awake to be during the day but it was midnight now.
She gathered her strength and got up. She was limping but still,it was a huge improvement to her previous state.
She realized she was in a village. There were tents and blown out torches all around her. If there were people here,they were sleeping. She started walking and wondered.
"What is this place? How did I get here? Did somebody from the guild brought me here so I could get treated? "There were so many questions in her mind.
She heard a voice behind her and turned around almost instantly.
She realized she was looking at a small girl. She had short black hair and was wearing a short furry skirt which seemed traditional.
"Oh,you're awake? It's good,cause you were asleep for a long time." The girl explained. Her accent was pretty different. Lucy realized she was no longer in Magnolia.
"H-How long was I out?" Lucy asked.
"About two weeks." The girl explained.
"Two weeks!"Lucy thought in terror.
She managed to stay calm.
"Did somebody from Fairy Tail brought me here?" She asked again.
"No. You were from Fairy Tail?" The girl asked.
Lucy grew sadder. She had hoped somebody from her guild was also here.
But something came to her mind.
"Didn't you see my guild mark?" Lucy asked.
"There was something like that on your right hand. But it was terribly burnt." She said.
This made Lucy brake down.
She opened the bandage and cried as she saw her burnt hand,it was twisted and her pink mark was almost completely destroyed.
The girl comforted her and patted her back until she finally calmed down a bit.
"H-How did you find me?" Lucy asked. She assumed that with the effect of the blast,she had separated from her friends.
"We didn't. A man brought you here." The girl answered.
"Who?" Lucy asked again.
"I don't know. We didn't see his face. He was wearing a hood. He asked us to take care of you. And then he flew away,with magic." The girl explained.
"Magic?" Lucy thought as a kindle of hope lit on her heart. It could have been someone from the Alliance or even better,Fairy Tail.
"Do you know where he went?" Lucy asked,hoping she would say yes.
"No." The girl answered with an apologetic face.
"But one of our own said that somebody was staying in a nearby cave. He saw a fire during the middle of the night." The girl explained.
Lucy wasn't gonna let this go.
"Show me the cave." She said. The girl made a gesture,telling Lucy to follow her lead.
After a few minutes of walking,Lucy and The girl reached a cave. And there was indeed a fire.
"Thanks. You can go back. Although I hope it's somebody from my guild,It can be somebody else either. I don't want to put you in any danger." Lucy said.
"Nonsense. You have been entrusted to us. The laws of hospitality are absolute in our clan. It is my job to watch out for you." The girl declined her offer.
"Thank you very much." Lucy said before she reached the entrance of the cave. The fire could be seen directly now. They closed in carefully and saw a silhouette in front of the fires.
The light of the fire was blocking Lucy's view but it was obvious it was a male.
Lucy took another step and the figures head,which was looking into the fires was visible now.
"Blue hair?" Lucy thought as the figure turned around.
"No way!" Lucy thought as she confronted the man.
"J-Jellal?" Lucy asked.
Jellal gave her a slight smile.
"I'm glad you're all right Lucy." Jellal said,he spoke softly. He seemed tired to Lucy.
"W-what are you doing here?" Lucy asked.
"I'm the one who brought you here." Jellal answered.
"It was you?" Lucy asked and Jellal gave a slight nod.
"What about the others? Have you seen the others?" Lucy asked in a hurry.
Jellal turned away and started looking at the fire again.
This scared Lucy.
"J-Jellal? Where's everybody else?" Lucy asked,but was afraid to hear the answer.
"There is nobody else. They're all gone." Jellal answered as a piece of tear rolled and fell from his face.
Lucy was shocked. She fell on her knees and started crying. She screamed as loud as she could,much to the surprise of the girl from the village.
"Then why am I alive?" She thought to herself.
A/N: If you ask why did I kill everybody and let Lucy live,there is an answer. But I'm saving it for the end. Sorry :D
