Chapter 1- What Happened?

Lucy's POV

I stare in shock as Natsu collapses face first, his blood seeping into my carpet.

I don't move for a moment, frozen by shock at the sight of the blood and broken dragon slayer in front of me, scarf missing for the first time since I met him.

"Natsu!" I cry, breaking out of my trance and dashing forward. I kneel beside him and slowly reach forward to touch him, fearing the worst. A small breath I didn't realize I had been holding escapes my lips when I realize he's breathing. I roll him over gently, mindless of the blood, his blood covering my hands. In his arms I find an unconscious Happy, thankfully mostly unscathed. I gently pull the cat free, sharply in taking my breath once I could see what his small form concealed. A deep gash on his stomach, slashing from his the center of his chest to the side of his hips in a crescent moon shape, blood covering his clothes still leaking from the horrendous wound. I gasp and quickly rush to my room, pulling on my before dashing back to his side, pressing my towel to the wound. Red soaks it instantly. Panic begins to flare in my chest, two of my closest friends were unconscious in my living room, one bleeding all over my carpet and I was clueless on what happened and how to help. I grab my discarded keys, pulling two from the ring. "Open the Gate of the Lion!" I cry, slashing the air.

"Why hello my darling Lucy." Loki says with a bow m, blind to my distress until he spots Natsu. Concern and alarm take over his features and he rushes to kneel beside me. "What happened Lucy?!" He questions. I shake my head, tears in my eyes.

"I don't know! He just showed up here and collapsed!" I cry, wrapping my arms around myself, hands leaving red blood all over my pajamas. Natsu's blood. I shiver, shaking my head and taking deep breaths to calm myself as Loke puts a gentle hand on my shoulder, his hazel eyes staring reassuringly into mine.

"It's alright Lucy, Natsu's strong he'll be fine" Loke says, casting another worried glance at the slayer before looking back to me. "But he's too injured to be moved right now, it could make them worse, I'll head to the guild and look for some help. You should send one of your female spirits to Fairy Hills in case I can't find anyone and while you wait try to stop some more of the bleeding from his other injuries." I nod, using my clean forearm to whip away my tears, now wasn't the time to cry, Natsu needed me for once and I had to help him this time as payback for all the times the roles were reversed. Loke smiles, standing. "I'll be back as soon as I can!" He says before dashing away. I grab Virgo's key.

"Open the Gate of the Maidan!" I say loudly, Virgo popping into existence beside me.

"Time for punishment Princess?" My spirit says upon arrival. I shake my head.

"Virgo I need you to go to Fairy Hills and get Erza alright? Tell her Natsu is hurt and she needs to grab Wendy and come here." Virgo nods.

"As you wish Princess" She says before running. I turn back to Natsu, calmer now after Loke's pep talk. Aside for the huge injury on his abdomen the rest of his body was pretty battered as well, small cuts adorning his tan skin, tears and blood all over his clothes, another gash on his head still oozing blood. I carefully lift him, putting his bloodied head in my lap and free him from his tattered jacket to see the full damage on his chest and back. His chest looked as if it had been clawed by an animal, blood still seeping from it, the back receiving the same treatment. I lay him back down and rush back to my bathroom to grab more of my fluffy white towels, wishing I was smart enough to have spare bandages somewhere instead.

"Damnit Natsu what the hell did you get yourself into." I whisper, gently wiping off excess blood with my fluffy towels. I replace the first towel that I had used during my shower with a new one, the originally white fabric completely redded now, the blood showing no signs of letting up. I feel the panic raising up again in my chest but I push it down trying to remember what Wendy had told me about healing when I had asked her awhile ago for something like this. "Oh that's right! I need to put pressure on it!" I exclaim, thankful for remembering. I carefully move to his side so I could reach it better. "Sorry about this Natsu" I whisper and I place my hands over the wound, pressing on it through the towel Natsu lets out a pain filled groan, face contorting but he doesn't wake, his breathing haggard. A shiver races up my spine as the towel soaks with blood, the warm sticky substance soaking through to my hands causing fear to jolt through me. I've never seen Natsu so hurt before, his skin pale and blood covered, breathing weak and raspy, Happy completely unconscious as well. If someone could do this damage to Natsu what would happen if they came here to finish the job? I wouldn't have a chance, two gates already open and draining me. I push away the dark thoughts trying to focus on the pink haired boy in front of me, the blood flow hardly slowing under my fingertips. "Loke, Virgo please bring help fast,." I whisper to the air, while increasing the pressure slightly without a reaction from the dragonslayer. "I don't think we have much time left."

On that lovely note the official chapter one is now finished! Feedback is highly appreciated whether positive or negative, I'm always looking to improve! Tell me your thoughts in a review please!
