Chapter 5: Berserkers
Lucy and Lisanna have been walking around for a good half hour now and still haven't found a way out of wherever they were yet. To make it worse both Lucy and Lisanna were getting very tired and the pain at Lucy's side was becoming to unbearable and was no longer able to hold up Lisanna.
"Let's take a break right here. I can't hold you up any longer." Lucy said in an exhausted voice.
"Okay." Lisanna said while Lucy was helping her sit against the wall. Lucy sat beside her clutching her side in pain.
"So your apart of the Great Bounty Hunter Struss family right." Lucy asked.
"Yeah. What about it?" Lisanna said in a harsh tone.
"I was just wondering if you knew why my friend and I are wanted?" Lisanna looked at Lucy like she was crazy when she asked her this.
"You seriously don't know why?!" Lisanna shouted.
Lucy giggled while rubbing the back of her head and said, "Sorry but no I don't."
"You're wanted for the murder of Makarov Dreyar. His son Ivan said he witnessed you two murdering his father and now his grandson, Laxus, wants you two dead." Lucy looked at Lisanna in shock and she couldn't believe what she had just told her.
After a couple of minutes of silence Lisanna finally said harshly, "I've known Laxus since I was a kid and he's always looked out for me. I the least I can do to repay him is bring him your head on a stick."
They both just sat there in silence when out of no where Lucy put both of her hands on Lisanna's shoulders and said, " Lisanna I swear to you on my life as well as Natsu's we did not kill Makarov." Lucy said looking straight into Lisanna's eyes with such an intense stare that Lisanna felt as if Lucy was looking into her very soul.
"And I also promise you that I will get us out of here alive and when I do I'm going to clear mine and Natsu's names. And hopefully when it's all over you and I could become friends." Lucy said then smiled a bright hopefull smile.
"Okay I see a door just down the hall I'm going to go see if I can open it. Hopefully it's a way out. Stay here and I'll be right back for you. Okay?"
"Okay." was all Lisanna could say. Lucy gave her a quick smile and headed down the hall to the door.
Lisanna sat there in still in shock at Lucy's words. "I really don't know what to believe?", Lisanna thought.
When Lisanna looked into Lucy's eyes she knew they didn't look like the eyes of a cold blooded killer. "Ivan wouldn't lie... would he?" Lisanna's thoughts were interrupted be the sound of a door opening.
"Shit. It just a room. Stay there I'm going to check it out real quick." Lucy said to Lisanna and she nodded her head and went back to trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
All of a sudden a large hand grabbed Lisanna by the neck and began to choke her. She tried to call out to Lucy but the thing's hand was too tight around her neck. Lisanna closed her eyes ready to except her death when all of a sudden she hear a loud bang and no longer felt the hand on her neck so she was able to breathe again. She fell back to the ground and then she opened her eyes and looked around. All she saw was a pile of dirt in front of her. She turned her head to the hallway and saw Lucy holding up a gun. "Well that explains the loud bang but when did that thing go?" Lisanna thought.
" Well I guess the book was right." Lucy said in a relieved voice.
"Where the hell did that thing go?" Lisanna asked in a very raspy voice her throat still soar.
"That 'thing' was actually a creature call Berserker. They used to be human but were turned into monsters by those bone masks they were wearing. The only way to take them down is to destroy the mask. Whoever that was must have been one for a long time. There's nothing but dust left." Lucy explained while examining the pail of dirt in front of Lisanna.
"How the hell do you know all this?" Lisanna questioned.
Lucy pulled a book out of her bag and said, "My friend Erza gave me this book. It's all about this mountain including the creatures that live in side of it. It told me how to kill them."
Lisanna looked at Lucy noticing that she had all her things with her and said, "Where the hell did you find your stuff?!"
"Oh yeah. It was in that room I went in too. Here I got your things as well." , Lucy said smiling and handed Lisanna her things.
"Thanks." Lisanna said then tired her head and started to blush.
Lucy giggle at Lisanna's silliness and said, "You're welcome. Now let's get out of here. I'm sure this isn't the only one."
Lucy help Lisanna and started the walk down the very long hall hoping to find a way out.
