"Whoa that was close!" Loke said with a laugh. "You're not half bad."

"That's nice to hear from you. It'll be nice having you around kitty!"

"What's your deal? I'm not ever leaving Lucy."

"They all say that but how boring is it not having a contract?"

"Huh?" Loke swung at Wayli landing one right in his gut. "Hah hope that hurt!" Wayli swung his blade and slashed Loke's arm leaving a large gash. "Loke!" Lucy yelled. "It's alright Lucy, this chump just got a lucky shot." Loke ducked and threw his fist up into Wayli's face.

'Damn I can't do this much longer.' Wayli thought to himself. "Open gate of the Gatling, Shiro gatoringgu gun!" Wayli chanted. Instantly a Gatling gun appeared in front of them. Wayli jumped at the gun, hand on trigger.

"How many ways can you nullify a contract?" Wayli asked with a grin. Loke looked at Wayli with a "what the fuck" expression imprinted on his face. Wayli pointed the gun at Lucy who was staring intently at the fight. "Death is definitely an option right?" He pulled the trigger and sent bullets flying at Lucy at incredible speed. Loke realized his intention to late and screamed for Lucy as he saw the bullets make contact through the thick cloud the equipment spirit generated.

When Wayli had decided it was enough he waited for the smoke to clear, very pleased with himself. Loke stood in shock at his uselessness. "You bastard!" He screamed running at Wayli holding nothing back. He sent the scummy man flying into the air. His hands filled with light as he jumped into the air and threw his whole body down on Wayli.

"I'm going to fucking kill you, you piece of shit!"

"Whoa kitty brings out the claws!" Wayli said as he wiped the blood from his chin and returned to a wide, psychotic smile. "You made me wait so long! What a tease." He giggled "So now that you're free..." Wayli extended his arm to Loke, "Wanna make a contract?"

"Are you serious?" Loke asked. He stared at the man for a moment in awe of his raw stupidity. But soon Wayli's chilling grin faded and his eyes passed Loke. "Shit!" He said plainly.

Loke turned his head to see a tall grandfather clock standing in the ally. Next to it, a small blonde holding her right shoulder tightly. She looked up at the boys, one eye unable to open, and said something just loud enough so they both could hear.

"Loke..." She winced at the pain in her shoulder and fought to hold up her head. "...Kill him!"

Loke jumped at Wayli throwing his fist into his right eye. Before he had wanted to make him suffer for killing Lucy but now that he realized that all he did was cause her a lot of pain, he wanted to kill him. Lucy tried to watch the fight but she knew she needed a doctor before she lost too much blood. She stumbled further into the ally toward the next street over. She had never been to this town before and had no idea where she was but she felt she needed to at least try to find help. She saw a bright light around the corner. 'That must be a street light! Come on Lucy you can do this. It's not even that bad.' She told herself as she clung harder to the bullet in her shoulder.

She was about the reach the corner, her hand running across the rough brick wall when everything started to get fuzzy. 'Crap I'm loosing to much blood.' She fought to stay up right but her efforts where futile. She grabbed at something to steady herself but she ended up just knocking over a garbage can. Pressed her whole body to the bricks and slid along them.

She lost any remaining sense of balance and her ears rang as her head slapped against the concrete.

"How long do dates usually go?" Natsu asked. He leaded back on the bed putting his hands behind his head. "I bet she wouldn't..." Natsu cut himself off. "I mean she wouldn't...I means she's not..." Natsu thought hard trying to think of how to say it. "I mean she's not that kind of girl...right?"

"Natsu I'm hungry! Can't we go get some food?"

"But what if she does stay the night with him? It's not like she knows where we're staying so where else would she stay?"

"Oh I know how to find Lucy!" Happy said. "How?"

"Let's go look for her at some restaurants. Maybe they're still eating."

"That's a good idea little buddy."

"And since we're already at a restaurant we could get a table and eat!" Happy drooled, picturing 20 separate dishes of fish. They ran out the door and down the street in the direction Natsu said smelled the most like there was food. "Did you hear that?" Happy said turning his head in the direction they came. "Yea it sounded like a gun."

"A really loud one!"

"Want to check it out?" Natsu asked but Happy knew that Natsu wasn't going to take no for an answer. He looked down at his grumbling stomach and sighed. He sprouted his wings and grabbed Natsu, lifting him into the air. They flew down the street as Natsu searched for something to explain the loud noise.

"What was that?" He asked and Happy stopped immediately. "Over there I heard something." Natsu pointed to a dark alley between two houses. The house on the right was brick with a small black railing that started at the door and end not two yards later. Next to it sat three little steps. The building was to put it plainly, boring. The one on the left was elegant with white painted wooden panels and light gray details. A large porch with two chairs and a coffee table. While the little brick house was only one story, this house rose up high for only two. It blocked the moon light making the ally way almost pitch except for the light that shined in from the tall lamps that lined the street.

"This place is so weird." Natsu said examining the extreme difference in the two houses. They walked into the ally. Natsu ran his hand along the chipped brick to lead him through the dark passage. He only took a couple steps when he tripped and landed on flat on his face.

"Ow what the hell was that?" He asked looking at the ground. His eyes finally adjusted and he saw a large figure right in front of him. He turned it over and saw the female features. "It's a girl, Happy I tripped on a girl." He said worried. He lifted her carefully and tried to see the color of her hair at least but it was too dark.

He stepped back toward the street and as he stepped in the light he realized that her hair was blonde, her lips where a light blue and every time he stepped he heard ringing. "LUCY!" He shouted at his realization. "Oh my god umm Lucy wake up! Can you hear me?" He inspected her shoulder. Two bullets had made it into Lucy before Horologium was able to encase her in safety. One dug deep into her high shoulder while the other penetrated the very bottom of her right lung.

"She's barley breathing!"

"What do we do?" Happy asked in panic. "Fly around and find help. Hurry!" Happy took off looking for someone. The streets were silent. Natsu lifted her and heard something fall from her pocket."What the?" He saw the silver key shining in the light from the street light. He shoved it in his pocket and ran down the street to find help.

Sorry about the short chapter. I will try to post a longer one for you guys this weekend. Thanks for all the follows and favorites! :)
