Fire and Faces

Chp.2
Both Gray's and Erza's face lit up when they heard her voice. Gray braced for the impact as the busty blond lunged towards them, pulling them into a bear hug. Relief washed over him as the blonde appeared to be fine despite her late arrival which was very unlike of her. Smiling, he wrapped his muscular arms around the two girls, content that they were all together again. After ending the warm hug, Ezra noticed that there was something odd with her cheerful friend. Firstly, she hadn't asked about where they had gone. Secondly, she was wearing really expensive clothing while there was a growing aura of magic around her. Erza realized that even though she had known Lucy for almost seven years now and they were as closer than sisters she knew little about her and what she did outside of hidden garden in the maze. Furthermore most of things she knew about her she was told by Gray who had meet her two years earlier. She had an uneasy feeling that the pit of her stomach that told her, something wasn't as it seemed and she was going tho get to the bottom of it.
Lucy's P.O.V
I chattered with Gray for a minute before feeling the creeping feeling that someone was staring at me. I turned towards the direction of the stare only to find, to my surprise that it was Ezra who was staring at me, deep in thought. I tapped her shoulder lightly breaking her out of her trance like state. Is there something wrong with Ezra, is she sick, I thought. Erza gaze shot up from the place I was last siting
" Is there something the matter, Erza?" I asked worriedly, she stared directly in to my eyes before standing up from where she siting. A menacing aura surrounded her while my body froze with fear. She looked like she was about to kill me but Erza wouldn't hurt me I thought trying to shake off the feeling. Would she? I added with uncertainty. The Erza I was watching with fearful eyes was unlike the one I had grown to love. This one had daggers in her eyes, was in a fighting stance and had her sword gripped tightly in her hands. Grey who had been watching this play out, bolted immediately from his place in the green grass and stood in front of me protecting me from Erza's wrath. I stared amazedly at Gray's courage as I knew first hand how scared Gray was of Erza. He body was trembling which was unusual for him, since he has stripped all during the winter in below zero conditions. Erza eyes turned cold and remorseless
" whhhhaattt aarree yyyoouu dddoooiiinngg ssshheeesss oooouuurrr ffffrrriiieeennndd " he managed to stutter
Erza eyed him " Get out of the way, Gray. This doesn't concerned you, she deserves punishment"
" She hasn't done anything wrong, Erza her only sin was to befriend people like us!" he yelled at her furiously.
People like them, I thought. They are a little odd but they are normal people, right? They couldn't possibly be Mages I thought thankfully I was wrong.
" Are you really defying me, can't you see that she has been lying to us all this time, especially you! She wearing a noble mans clothing with lace and pearls didn't she say she was the daughter a maid the Manor!"she screeched her anger causing her beautiful features to become twisted, her red hair flying in all directions at the sudden winds.
" She never said that! I just told you that so you wouldn't judge her, she the most honest, loyal, and kind person I known but she shouldn't be judged on things her family did without her consent!" He yelled back at her. The fear that resided in me had left running. I stood up and looked at my warring best friends I tapped Gray's bare and cool shoulder just before Erza had a chance to speak " So, you never told her who I was." I choked out, a lump forming in my throat as I tried to fight back the tears " I always found it odd, that two people from the outside world would want to be my friend. You should of told her. I rather not have any friends then after making friends then losing them" I whispered sadly not caring about the tears streaming down my cheeks. I didn't bother looking at them as I turned around to gather my things up. I felt someone grab my hand, I turn to face them to my surprise it was Erza.
" I'm sorry, I should have trusted you. Please feel free to hit." She bowed apologetically. I smiled happily. It felt like I had finally found a family after my older brother Robin had gone missing in the last crusade. Unfortunately this changed in a matter of seconds as Erza pulled me into a hug. Unfortunately she was still wearing her armor so my head hit cold steel. Grey stood there watching our heartfelt moment with a big grin plastered on his face when a strong gust of wind and the smell of smoke hit us. A another gale of wind hit Erza and Grey sending them flying clear across the maze. My mouth gaped open at the sheer strength of that wind when I realized something. It missed me completely.
"Gray!Erza!" I yelled frantically after my friends. The smell of smoke got stronger and pretty soon the maze was ablaze and I was trapped. I started coughing violently, my lungs pleading me for air causing a burning sensation. Laugher echoed throughout the maze as I dropped to my knees hoping for cleaner air. Even though my vision had started to grow hazy, I could still made out two figures coming out of the fire.
"Grey,Erza is that you?" I weakly asked between the violent coughs, hoping that my friends where coming to my aid. It's not them, run, pleaded a voice in my head, I tried to get up and run but my body wouldn't move, I was too weak and in desperate need of air.
Get out the keys, master gave you to you for a reason. The voice urged but why I asked it they are just keys, there was pause, just trust me. After much effort i was finally able to move my arm enough to reach the key ring that was tied around my waist. Two figures got closer before stopping right in front of me sneering, I could see their lips moving but i couldn't hear a sound, in desperation for someone save me I pulled the key ring close to my face and whispered " please, I don't know how you are going to help but please do." a single tear strayed from my eyes and landed on one of the golden keys causing a warm light to appear in front of me and a large bull like creature with an axe appeared. The bull thing turn toward me and gave me a wink " Don't worry, I'll help you" before turning torward the two men in front of me who were looking at each other in confusion.
The bull thing attacked swinging it's axe around easily defeating the two men causing the fire to die down. The mazes was burned to a crisp and my friends were nowhere in site. I took a breath of the fresher air, I turned towards my savior and gave him the warmest most sincere smile " thank you fo-" I managed to before a fist shaped ball of air caused him the disappear into nothingness. I stared in horror at the place the bull thing once stood.
" you have caused me a lot of trouble, little Lucy"said a voice to the now defenseless me.
I looked around scared half to death, one of my favorite places, a once beautiful maze made of rose hedges was now a pile of smoldering ashes. The cold winds started picking up, causing me to shiver,
"Hello,little Lucy" said a voice, i whipped my head in that directions only to find nothing. The voice kept taunting me telling me things like my friends where long dead and so on.
" Shut up! Stop lying!" I scream in to the air, tears running down my pale cheeks. I started running, just trying to get away hoping this was a dream and that it would be over soon. I ran stoping at the top of the hill that overlooked the manor, there was a strange smell of burning meat. the site was terrible and devastating that me drop to my knees and cry my eyes out. The manor was chard to the point that was nothing left, and even from this distant I could see dozen bodies of people I knew and cared for, people who made me smile.
" No!No! This isn't fair! They had family and friends!" I yelled into the air while I weeped. "This is all my fault" I muttered over and over again crying silently, completely unaware that someone was calling my name until they're cold hands grabbed mine's. I slowly turn my head upward only to see deep black eyes staring in to mine. I instantly recognized who it was,Gray. Gray eyes were filled with anger, as he saw all the wounds covering my arms and legs. I didn't care,I was so relieved to see a familiar face I pulled Gray into a hug and began sobbing loudly, Gray who initially shock began to hug back and tell me it's okay to still be fine. But things wouldn't be fine because I would always be running away trying to forget the scaring scene.

I know it's bad and short but, I will make it up to you guys next chapter! Thank you for reading and please review :)
