The hooded mages suddenly stopped fighting and took a few steps away from the Fairy Tail wizards and the body of the target as she sank to the floor with blood quickly pooling around her, Staining the once green grass a dark and vivid shade of red.

Suddenly a manic laugh responded throughout the clearing.

"Mission A Failed however Alternate Mission B was a success. It looks like you worthless Fairies get to leave with your lives. I guess you could thank Tala' s death for that. Men retreat!"

And with that the group suddenly started to vanish into small puffs of smoke.

Gray and Loke ran to the girl who had been called Tala. Gray was visibly angry but he held himself together. We have to save her! Thoes bastards will pay for this. But just who the he'll were they and why are they after her? Gray's thoughts stayed on the same track.

Loke knelt down on the blood soaked grass and as gently as he could he pulled the seemingly lifeless girl up by her shoulders and rested her body back against his arms.

UghhhA pain filled moan rumbled from the injured woman's lips that swarmed to fully fill the heavy silence as she was moved. With the pain from being moved she forced her eyes open, and was met with a blurred image of the two mages hovering over her.

Gray watched as she slowly opened her eyes and he had to hold back a startled gasp. Her left eye looked like golden honey yet her right eye was a vibrent yet pale icy blue.

They are amazing. So beautiful.Gray could not help but think of her eyes as beautiful but he could see the fire behind them struggling to stay aflame.

"Hey now stay awake. we are going to move you and get you some help. We have a healer there that can patch you right up okay. But you MUST stay awake you hear me" Loke spoke as he spotted the same struggle in her pain filled eyes, and yet he could not help shamelessly staring in amazement and wonder at the woman's eye colour. So unique and soft yet also piercing and haunting. It's like she can see straight through me and see everything I'm hiding.This thought unnerved the Celestial spirit more than he would like to admit. Out loud and to himself.

She glanced at the blurry golden like haired mage as he spoke, but the words didn't fully make it through to her. Is he worried about me? She couldn't understand why he was worried about her He barley knows me. How can he be worried. He knows nothing. But for some strange reason she knew she had to stay awake. I'm so tired though. No I need to stay awake I have to get them safe.All she did was move her head in a yes motion.

Next she glanced sideways to the strange shirtless mage as he spoke.

"Who were they? Why were they chasing you? Why did you not run whilst we made an opening for you. Why did you try protecting us?"

All the questions confused her with him spitting out so many questions all at once. She was finding it difficult to think. But one thing stood out to her.

He could tell I was trying to protect them?She struggled to answer him and pain racked her whole body as she weakly lifted her hand to his chest as she attempted to form an intelligent responce. Once her hand was over the blurry blue mark on his chest she spoke in a quiet and weak voice.

"Family"

Her hand dropped suddenly and she was forced to stop talking after one word so she could gather the strength to keep talking.

"Don't rush. Take it easy okay " Loke told her as he watched her closely

"Wait? Family? Are you a part of Fairy Tail?"

Gray was confused by her response, and he wanted answers but he was cut off she he saw her attempting to respond to him. He could tell it hurt and he wanted to get her to stop as Loke slowly lifted her into his arms.

It hurts. It hurts so much. I have to tell the old man that I'm sorry. He he has to know I honestly tried to get to him. If they have the same symbol they might know him.

"Tell... Mak...arov... I'm sorry... I wasn't... fast... enough"

As she spoke the old man's name Both Loke and Gray stiffened, The same thought passed between the two, She knows the master?!''Loke start taking her to the guild. I'll use my communication lacrama to call ahead so they are ready the instant you get there. Be quick, She obviously knows Gramps."

Loke nodded his head and glanced at the dying girl in his arms,

"Oh and gray, Put some clothes on man." Then he was running, as fast as he could, desperate to save the strange girl who came from nowhere.

Please hold on. Please.Back in the clearing, Gray was pulling out a communication lacrama and proceeded with calling the guild. Worry and Anger running through him.
