Chapter 7: Found
They were almost there. Laxus just knew it. They had left to find Juvia four days ago. And by they, I mean, Team Natsu, the Thunder Legion, Gajeel, and Levy. Levy insisted on going with them because Yukkia and her shared the same magic and Levy was thinking that she could be of some help. Personally, Laxus didn't really care who came to rescue Juvia. The only thing he cared about was finding Juvia and having her in his arms again. Whatever happened in between, he didn't care.
''We have to stop for the night and continue tomorrow.'' Freed said. Laxus frowned.
''Why? If we continue, than we would reach the base in the morning.''
''But than we would be fatigued and sleep-deprived. And we need all the energy that have to save Juvia.'' Freed poined out. Laxus sighed.
''You're right. It would be best if we stopped for the night.'' He agreed. Freed nodded and everyone began to set up camp.
After everyone finished setting up camp, Laxus found himself lying on the ground, looking at the stars. He couldn't sleep. No, he wouldn't sleep. Not until he knew that Juvia was safe. Not until she was back home with him. As Laxus stared at the stars, he remembered a time when he and Juvia stared up at the stars. Laxus could remember that night so clearly.
It was their two month anniversary. To celebrate it, Laxus had taken Juvia out to a fancy restaurant. Juvia loved it and Laxus was just happy that she enjoyed herself. After they had dinner, Laxus had led Juvia to an open plain where they could stare at the stars. Laxus had his arm around Juvia's shoulder and Juvia leaned her head on his shoulder. They spent most of their time stargazing in silence. There was no need for words. They were content and they didn't need to ruin the moment by talking. As they stared at the sky, Juvia saw a bright blue light streak across the sky.
''Laxus, look! It's a shooting star!'' Juvia exclaimed. Laxus smiled.
''Make a wish.'' He said. Juvia nodded and closed her eyes. A second later, she opened them.
''What did you wish for?'' Laxus asked. Juvia smiled.
''Juvia wished that things could always be like this. You know, peaceful, quiet.'' She said.
''What did you wish for?'' She asked him.
''I don't need to make a wish. Everything that I could ever want is right here.'' Laxus answered. Juvia blushed.
''Stop it.'' She whispered. Laxus looked at her.
''Stop what? Everything that I'm saying is true. I don't need to make wishes when I already have everything that I could ever want. A sexy girlfriend, a kiss ass job, great friends, and a great guild with people that care about me. What else could I possibly want?''
''You don't want to get married? Have kids?'' Juvia asked. Laxus smirked.
''What are you getting at, Lockser? You want me to get on one knee and propose? Or do you want me to fuck you senseless until babies start popping out?''
''Laxus!'' Juvia exclaimed, her face turning a deep shade of red. Laxus laughed.
''I'm just messing with ya. Don't take it so seriously.''
''But, do you want those things?'' Juvia whispered. Laxus looked at the sky and said nothing.
''Yes.'' He said after some time. He turned Juvia and looked into her eyes.
''I do want those things. But not right now. I'm still pretty young. I have the rest of my life to get married and have kids. There's no need to rush things.''
''But, what if something happens? Our job is very dangerous, Laxus. We could die at any given moment.'' Juvia pointed out.
''But, isn't that what life is about? Nothing is guaranteed in this world, Juvia. Nothing can last forever. We're all going die. We just don't know when. But that doesn't mean that we should live our lives in fear of what's going to happen. If we fear what's going to happen, than we really aren't living, now are we? I mean, sure, we know what's going to happen. But that doesn't mean that we should just sit around and wait for it to happen. No, we have to go out there and live life to the fullest. We have to live in the moment. Sure, we can think about the future, but we shouldn't dwell on it. Because we never know if we're going to live long enough to reach that future. So, just focus on being here now, okay? Don't worry about the future. Just wait and see where life takes you. Who knows, maybe we'll live to be a hundred. Or, maybe we'll die tomorrow. We don't know what's going to happen. But I guess that's what makes life exciting, huh?'' Juvia nodded.
''Juvia guesses that Laxus is right. But who knew that you could be so insightful?'' Juvia joked.
''Shut up, Lockser. I can be deep when I want to.'' Laxus retorted. Juvia laughed. But then she soon sobered up.
''Do you think that Zander will come back?'' She whispered.
''What?'' Juvia looked Laxus in the eye.
''What if Zander escapes from prison? He's going to come after me, you know that.'' Juvia said. Laxus smiled.
''So what? If he does come after you, than I'll kick his ass. I'll protect you Juvia, no matter what.'' Laxus promised. Juvia smiled and leaned into his shoulder.
''I know. And Juvia will protect you as well.''
Laxus smiled fondly at the memory. That was a great night. That was the first time that Juvia spent the night at his house. Laxus sighed.
'I promised to protect you. And look at what a great job I'm doing. I broke my promise to you, Juvia. But I will make it up to you. I will find you, Juvia. I won't stop until you are here with me again. I promise you that.'
OoOOoOoOooOoOooOOoO
Juvia was startled awake when someone opened the door to her cell. Yukkia walked through the door. She grinned at Juvia.
''Hello, ugly. How are you doing today?'' Yukkia asked. Juvia scowled and ignored her. Yukkia's grin grew.
''So you're just going to ignore me? Fine then. The less you talk, the more fun I get to have.'' Yukkia said.
Yukkia bent down and grabbed Juvia by the hair. She raised her fist and punched Juvia right in the face. Juvia screamed and her whole body seemed to recoil from the force of the punch. Yukkia let go of Juvia's hair, only to kick her in the ribs. Juvia fell against the cold floor. She was breathing heavily and her face already started to swell.
''There's more where that came from.'' Yukkia said. She digged into her pocket and pulled out a tiny dagger. Juvia eyes widened and she felt her blood run cold. Yukkia smiled.
''Aw, are you scared? There's no need to be scared, I won't kill you. But, do you want to know what I will do to you? First, I'm gonna cut off that pretty hair of yours. Then, I'm going to run this dagger over your perfect skin. And I'm gonna make sure that there's gonna be scaring afterwards. So, are you ready to have some fun?''
Yukkia grabbed a handful of Juvia's hair and in one swift motion, she cut it off. Juvia winced in pain. Deep, blue locks slowly fell to the floor.
''Now it's time to cut you up. Oh, this is gonna be so much fun.''
Yukkia started with Juvia's arms. She made swift, precise cuts on both arms, causing blood to spill from the tiny cuts. Yukkia raised the dagger again and was about to cut Juvia again when she stopped. She smiled.
''You know what would be more fun? How about I strip you bare and make cuts all over your body? That would be fun, right?'' Yukkia asked. She grinned at Juvia's terrified expression.
Yukkia slowly began to take off Juvia's clothes. When Juvia was completely naked, Yukkia raised the dagger and started to cut her again. Yukkia made cuts on Juvia's arms, legs, stomach, and neck. The cuts were tiny and didn't bleed very much, but they did sting. A lot. Juvia found it difficult to keep her mouth shut. She would not give Yukkia the satisfaction of hearing her scream. Juvia knew that that was what Yukkia really wanted.
Eventually, Yukkia stopped her torture.
''Monster. You're a very sick person.'' Juvia whispered. Yukkia snarled and hit Juvia's head against the wall. Juvia cried out. She began to see stars. Juvia looked at Yukkia and she noticed that her eyes had this insane glint to them. Juvia gulped. Maybe she should have kept her mouth shut.
Yukkia shoved Juvia up against the wall and started to choke her. Juvia's eyes widened and she struggled to get away from Yukkia. But it was no use since her arms and legs her chained to the floor. Juvia felt the air leave her lungs. She stared at Yukkia with terror filled eyes. Yukkia stared back at her with eyes that held no emotion.
''Stop.'' Juvia choked out. Yukkia's hand tightened around her neck.
''Please.'' Juvia gasped. She blinked. Everything was starting to turn black. Juvia could feel herself losing consciousness. She could feel her life slipping away.
'This is it. I'm gonna die.' Juvia thought. Tears came to her eyes. She didn't want to die. She had so many things that she wanted to do. She wanted to get married and have kids. She wanted to see Laxus and tell him that she loved him. Juvia closed her eyes.
'Juvia is so sorry Laxus. She wanted to tell you that she loves you. But it looks like she won't get the chance. Juvia is sorry.' A single tear rolled down Juvia's cheek. Juvia felt her chest tighten from the lack of oxygen. Just when Juvia thought that her life was over, Yukkia let go of her throat. Air rushed into her lungs. Juvia fell over and started coughing hysterically. After about five minutes, Juvia felt that she could breathe properly. Juvia stared at Yukkia.
''Why? Why didn't you kill Juvia? What stopped you?'' Juvia asked. Yukkia bent down and stared at Juvia. Juvia flinched. Yukkia's eyes were cold. Emotionless. Her expression was unreadable. Juvia had no idea what was going on in her head.
''Believe me, water girl, I wanted to kill you. I wanted choke the life out of you and no one would be around to stop me. I wanted to see you take your last breath. I wanted to see you beg me not to kill you. But, no matter what you said, I still would have killed you. I wanted to see you dead. But I didn't kill you. And that's only because Zander wants to do it himself. If it wasn't for him, you would be dead right now. So don't go thinking that I did this out of the goodness of my heart beacuse I didn't. I don't have a heart. The only thing that stopped me from killing you was Zander. So you should thank him for that.'' Yukkia stood up and headed to the door.
''What happened to you? How can you be so cruel?'' Juvia asked. Yukkia stopped in her tracks. Without turning around, she said:
''It's easy to be cruel when you can no longer feel anything. I stopped feeling sorry for people when my parents were murdered right in front of my eyes. People are cruel. People are greedy and selfish and they will do anything to get what they want. And they will hurt anyone that gets in their way. I've learned that the hard way. I used to believe that people were good. I was so naive to believe that. People aren't good. Someone could be dying and you would just walk past them and move on with your day like nothing happened. You could have saved them, but you didn't. And you are completely find with that. That's what life is about. There is no good in the world. There is only evil. Yes, I am a monster. I am heartless. But in this world, heartless monsters like myself will survive. Everyone else will die at the hands of people like me. And it's better to become a monster than to be killed by one.'' Without another word, Yukkia walked out of the room. Juvia watched her leave.
'Her heart is filled with such darkness. She's only seen the bad in people, not the good. Juvia almost feels bad for her. She doesn't believe that people are good. She doesn't believe that people can change. She believes that everyone is a monster, so she became one herself. She doesn't know what life is about. It's such a shame. If only she didn't get mixed up with Zander. Then she would be able to see that there are good people in this world. She wouldn't think that it's okay to become a monster. It's awful. Truly awful.'
OoOoOOoOoOoOoOoO
Zander was outside, guarding the base, when he felt that something was off. That's when he noticed it. The rune barrier was down. Zander cursed.
'Clay. That weak willed fool! He must have contacted Fairy Tail and told them where the base is. I should have never trusted him. He's way too soft. This is just great, they're probably almost here. I have to do something.'
Zander turned and walked inside the base. He found Yukkia sitting down in one of the lower levels.
''Yukkia, we have a problem.'' Zander told her. Yukkia looked at him.
''What kind of problem?'' she asked.
''Clay took down the rune barrier. Which could only mean that he told Fairy Tail where we are. They are probably almost here, so we have to be ready for them. I need you to confront them when they reach the base.'' Zander said. Yukkia nodded.
''Okay. But what about you? What are you gonna do?'' she asked. Zander sighed.
''Nothing yet. We just have to act like nothing is wrong. We are the only ones that can defend the base. Clay won't be of any help and the other prisoners left already.'' Yukkia nodded.
''Okay. Let the games begin.''
OoOoOoOooOoOoOoOo
''I can see it! The base! We're almost there!'' Levy exclaimed. Laxus smiled. They were almost there.
'Don't worry Juvia. I'm almost there.'
When the group finally reached the base, they noticed a lone figure in the distance. When they got closer, they recongized the figure. Laxus felt his blood boil.
''It's you. Yukkia. You're the one that's been torturing Juvia.'' Yukkia waved.
''Nice to see you too, Lux.'' she said. Laxus growled.
''Where is Juvia?'' he demanded. Yukkia smiled.
''She's inside the base. But you're gonna have to beat me if you want to see her. And I won't go easy on you. No matter how hot you are.'' Yukkia smiled and raised her arms.
''Solid Script: Vines!''
Vines sprouted from the ground. Laxus and everyone else were trapped in the vines. Well, everyone except for Freed. Freed had used to magic to escape at the last second.
''Freed! You have to beat her!'' Laxus shouted. Freed nodded.
''I won't let you down, Laxus.'' he promised. Yukkia smiled.
''Well, aren't you cute? Nice body and face. I would really hate to ruin your face, but if you're gonna fight me than I have no choice.'' Yukkia said. Freed frowned.
''Stop talking. I've had enough of your voice.'' Yukkia smiled.
''Alright then, let's get down to business. Solid Script: Fire!''
''Dark Ecriture: Wings!'' Freed used his wings to dodge the fire blasts that were being shot at him.
''Huh. So you can fly. Big deal. Let's see if your wings can dodge this. Solid Script: Bullets!''
''Dark Ecriture: Reflect!''
As fast as the bullets came, Freed reflected them. One bullet, however, grazed his shoulder. Yukkia smiled.
''Solid Script: Vines!''
The vines wrapped around Freed's arms, legs, and neck. In one swift motion, Yukkia sent Freed crashing into a nearby tree. Freed groaned as his back collided with the hard wood.
''Can you dodge this? Solid Script: Tornado!''
Several mini tornados formed and made its way over to Freed.
''Dark Ecriture: Wings!''
''Oh no you don't! Solid Script: Ropes!''
The ropes wrapped around Freed's legs, preventing him from dodging the tornados. Freed was thrown in several directions and he couldn't see a damn thing. Freed fell to the ground, completely winded. Yukkia smiled.
''Can you dodge this? Solid Script: Water! Snow! Ice! Mud!''
Everything came crashing down on Freed so fast that he didn't have time to dodge. Yukkia smiled as she watched Freed struggle to dodge her attacks.
''Ha! You're not so tough, now are you! Is this the best you can do? Because if it is, than I'm gonna destroy you!''
Yukkia didn't relent in her attacks. Everyone could only watch as Freed struggled to get the upper hand in the battle. Laxus growled.
''Freed! What the hell are you doing! You're better than this! I know you are! So stop playing around and kick her ass!'' Laxus shouted. That was enough motivation for Freed.
''It's time to stop playing around. Dark Ecriture: Pain!''
Yukkia stopped attacking when she saw runes on her chest. She glanced at Freed.
''What the hell is-'' Yukkia stopped as an intense pain flowed throughout her body. Yukkia screamed and almost fell to her knees.
''I'm not finished yet! Dark Ecriture: Fear! Suffering!'' Freed shouted.
Yukkia continued to scream as the pain continued. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Yukkia closed her eyes, hoping to block out the pain, but it didn't work. The pain, it was still there. That's all she could feel. Pain. It was like her whole body was on fire. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't think. It was just like when her parents died. All she could remember was the screaming of her mother and the shouting of her father. And blood. She also remembered the blood. There was so much blood. Yukkia could feel herself becoming sick just thinking about it. Yukkia could feel it start to come back. All the memories. The horrible memories that she supressed for so long, they started to resurface in her mind. Yukkia shook her head. She couldn't let that happen. She didn't want to remember. So she did the only thing that she could do. She used her magic.
A dark shroud started to form around Yukkia. Freed stopped attacking and just watched. Yukkia glared at Freed, and her red eyes seemed to have a sinister glow to them.
''You tried to make me remember. You tried to make me remember horrible things by putting me through so much pain. Now you're going to pay. You're going to pay for hurting me. You're going to remember. I'll make you remember. I'll make you remember all of it! All of it! Shadow Memories!''
At first, Freed didn't know what was happening. Then everything started to come back to him. Every horrible thing that happened to him, he started to remember it all. He started to remember all the townspeople that hated him because he was different. The little kids that tormented him because of his magic. Freed could remember every awful word that they said to him.
'Freak!'
'Creep!'
'Monster!'
'Demon Eyes!'
Freed couldn't take it anymore. He fell to his knees and released a horrible, horrible scream. He gripped his head and closed his eyes, hoping to forget these awful memories. But closing his eyes only made things worse.
''Freed!'' Laxus shouted. He glared at Yukkia.
''What the hell are you doing to him!'' he demanded. Yukkia laughed.
''It's my dark magic. Shadow memories! It allows me to force someone to remember the worst times in their life. Every horrible thing that happened to them, they are forced to remember it! It causes them immense pain to remember everything. And that's the best part! I love to see people suffer! I live for it!''
''You sick freak! What kind of monster are you?!'' Evergreen shouted. Yukkia grinned.
''The kind that's about to kill your comrade. But, not without a little torture first. Solid Script: Thunder! Water! Fire! Wind!''
Freed was still caught up in his memories, so he didn't even have time to dodge. So he took the attacks head on. Yukkia laughed at Freed's inability to dodge.
''Ha ha! What a pathetic sight! And you call yourself a mage! What a joke! You're weak! And you're gonna die by my hands! Solid Script: Tornado!''
Freed was hit by the tornado dead on. He fell to the ground, seemingly unconscious. Yukkia began walking towards Freed's fallen form. She leered at him.
'' It's such a shame to kill such a handsome man. But this is where is ends. I'm sorry it had to be this way. Solid Script: Sword!'' A sword appeared in Yukkia's right hand. She raised it above her head and brought it down.
''Freed!''
There was the sound of metal hitting metal and Yukkia stumbled back. Freed stood up, sword raised. His eye color had changed. Yukkia stared at Freed's eye with fear dawning on her features.
''What the hell.'' she gasped.
''Dark Ecriture: Slay!''
Yukkia gasped and stumbled as she was hit. She nearly fell to her knees, when Freed striked again.
''Now, this is where it ends! Dark Ecriture: Destruction!'' Freed slashed at Yukkia with his sword. Yukkia screamed and fell to the ground. The vines that were wrapped around Laxus and the others disappeared. Laxus and the others ran to where Freed was standing over Yukkia.
''Freed! Are you alright?'' Lucy asked. Freed nodded.
''I'm fine. Just a little beat up, that's all.'' Laxus sighed.
''Well, that's good. Now c'mon, let's go get Juvia.'' Laxus said. He and the others were just about to leave when Yukkia's voice stopped them.
''Why? Why would you all risk your lives just to save this girl? I don't understand.'' Laxus looked at her and snarled.
''I would risk my life for Juvia any day. Juvia is my family and I love her. But a monster like you would never understand that.'' Laxus snapped. Yukkia stared at him with hateful eyes.
''You're calling me a monster! Me! I am not a monster! No, the people that took my parents away from me, they are the monsters! Not me! You have no idea what it feels like to lose everything that you love! My parents meant the world to me! And they were taken from me!'' Yukkia's voice cracked as tears fell from her eyes.
''They were killed by a bunch of low life robbers. They did nothing wrong! They did nothing wrong and yet, they were punished! And I was forced to watch them die! While I was hiding in the cabinet like a coward, my parents were being murdered! My mother begged them to spare her and my father. She begged them and they shot her in the head! They shot both of them! Their blood was everywhere! Everywhere!'' Yukkia screamed.
''My parents were good people. They didn't deserve to be killed! They didn't deserve it!'' More tears flowed down Yukkia's face.
''Why? Why do bad things happen to good people? While my parents are buried in the ground, the monsters that killed them are still alive! They're alive and breathing while my parents are dead! So you tell me, where's the justice in that! Why is it that good people have to suffer, and bad people don't suffer at all! Why is it that the true monsters in this world get to do whatever they want with no consequences! No, they don't know pain! They don't know what it's like to lose everything! Bad people will do whatever it takes to get what they want. And they will hurt anyone that gets in their way! So tell me why, why should I be called a monster when I'm just another victim? You dare to call me a monster, when I have suffered the most! You people don't understand! You will never understand! You will never understand my pain! My suffering! You don't understand, and yet, you call me a monster. You don't have the right to say that! You don't have the right to judge me! You don't know the pain that I feel everyday. You don't know what I have been through. You don't know.'' Yukkia sobbed. Everyone stared at her with pity in their eyes. Everyone except Laxus. Laxus knelt beside Yukkia and looked her in the eye.
''You're right. I don't know what you've been through. I don't know how much you've suffered. And while everyone else feels sorry for you, I don't. We've all experienced pain and suffering. We've all lost something important to us. But that doesn't give us the right to hurt people. I don't care how bad your life is. It doesn't give you the right to harm other people. It doesn't give you the right to torture people. Yes, I understand that you lost your parents. I understand that you went through something terrible. I understand that you still feel pain everyday. But you shouldn't hurt other people because you are hurting. No, you don't hurt people because you are hurting. Everyone's lost something. You're no different than us in that department. But unlike us, you took your pain out on other people. You say that the people that took your parents away are monsters. Well, you're no better than them. You became a monster just like them. You tried to take Juvia away from me. You did the same thing to me like those robbers did to your parents. And you say that you aren't a monster. You say that you are a victim. You were a victim, once. But not anymore. You don't have the right to call yourself a victim. You caused people pain, incredible pain. And that makes you a monster. And there's a special place in hell for people like you.'' Laxus stood up and faced the group.
''Let's go.'' he said. Everyone nodded and continued on to the base. When they reached the entrance, Clay was already there, waiting for them.
''C'mon, I'll take you to Juvia.''
OoOOoOooOooOoOOOoOoOoOoOo
Clay and the others were running down the hall to Juvia's cell.
''Are you sure this is the right way?'' Lucy asked. Clay glared at her.
''Of course I'm sure. I've been down here several times to give Juvia food and water. I know where I'm going.'' he snapped.
''You don't have to be so rude about it.'' Lucy mumbled.
''How did Juvia look the last time you saw her?'' Laxus asked. Clay shrugged.
''Okay, for the most part. She looked tired and worn out. But, I'm not so sure that's the case anymore.''
''What do you mean by that?'' Freed asked. Clay sighed.
''Yukkia was with Juvia this morning. And from what I heard, Yukkia was extremely harsh this time around. So you all should brace yourselves.'' Clay warned. Suddenly, he stopped. Everyone stooped behind him.
''Hey, why'd you- Oh no.''
Zander was standing only a few feet away from the group. As usual, he had that sick grin on his face.
''It seems that you beat Yukkia.'' he commented.
''Go.'' Clay whispered. Laxus looked at him.
''What?''
''Go on ahead. I will handle him.''
''Are you sure?'' Laxus asked.
''Yes, I'm sure. Just, go save Juvia.'' Laxus nodded.
''Alright. Everybody, let's go!'' Everyone nodded and they continued to Juvia's cell. Zander snickered.
''I should have known. You're too weak. You don't have heartless quality that I look for in people. I don't know why I let you join me. You're only good for setting up rune barriors. Other than that, you're completely useless.''
''I'll show you that I'm not useless!'' Clay shouted. Zander smirked.
''Let's see about that.''
OoOOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOo
Laxus and the others quickly reached the cell that Juvia was being held in. Unfortunately, the cell door was made of steel. Laxus swore.
''Great. How are we supposed to get through now?'' Gajeel stepped up.
''I've got this. Steel Dragon's Sword!''
In mere seconds, the door was completely destroyed. Natsu gaped.
''When the hell did you learn that?'' Gajeel smirked.
''Unlike you, I've been training. Stop slacking off, Salamander.'' Gajeel mocked. Natsu growled.
''Why you-''
''Shut up!'' Laxus snapped. He and everyone else rushed into the room. What he saw made his blood boil.
Juvia was lying on the floor, stark naked. Her blue hair was all around her and her body was mared with tiny little cuts. Her face was swollen in several places and her lip was busted. Her head was bleeding and there was a dark purple bruise near her ribs.
''Everybody get out!'' Laxus snapped. Juvia was naked and he didn't want anyone to see her like that. Male or female, it didn't matter. Laxus didn't want anybody looking at Juvia's body but him.
Everyone nodded and slowly exited the room. Laxus walked over to Juvia and bent down next to her. Juvia opened her eyes and smiled.
''Laxus. You came for me.'' she whispered. Laxus smiled, relief flooding his features.
''Of course, idiot. I would never leave you here. I told you that I was going to protect you, and I meant it. Now c'mon. Let's get you out of here.''
Laxus smashed the chains wrapped around Juvia's arms and legs. When Juvia was free, Laxus took off his shirt and coat and gave it to her. Juvia looked at him confused. Laxus sighed.
''I'm not gonna let you walk around naked. Nobody gets to see you like that except me. Now, hurry up and put the clothes on.'' Juvia nodded and proceeded to put on Laxus' clothes. Laxus was much bigger than her, so his clothes covered her completely. In fact, Juvia looked like she was wearing a dress, when she was actually wearing a shirt. Laxus smiled and took her hand.
''Let's go.'' Laxus and Juvia walked out of the cell, where eveyone else was waiting for them. Wendy stepped up.
''Juvia-san, you're seriously hurt. I have to heal you.'' she said. Juvia waved her away.
''Juvia is fine. Wendy-chan can heal Juvia after we get out of here.'' Laxus scoffed.
''You are not fine. Let her heal you.'' Juvia gave him a slight glare.
''We need to get out of here first. Juvia's injuries are not life threatening. She can wait a little bit longer.'' Juvia said. Laxus sighed.
''Whatever. There's no getting through to you. You stubborn idiot.'' Juvia giggled.
''Laxus is more stubborn than Juvia.'' Juvia said.
''Yo, cut the couple shit. We have to leave. Now.'' Gajeel snapped.
''Oh, sorry Gajeel-kun. Let's go.'' Juvia and the others quickly made their way out of the base. As they were making down the steps, a barrier came up and trapped everyone except Juvia.
''What the hell is this?'' Laxus shouted. A laughing nosie could be heard. Juvia whipped her head around.
Standing only a few feet from her, was Zander. Zander grinned.
''Why don't we settle this once and for all, Juvia-chan?''
OoOoOoOoOoOoooOoOooo
Cliffhanger!
Anyways, sorry if the fight scene was bad. I'm not very good with those.
Please read and review.
I'll see you all next chapter!
