Chapter Nine
"So, um, Wendy? When you said you may have cast the spell a little strong, what exactly did you mean?" I was still looking between the mark on the table and my hand.
"Well, uh, I honestly didn't think that much would happen. I just figured that you might pick up some of each other's habits, or maybe speech patterns. I didn't think you would end up sharing magic." She sounded just as shocked as I felt.
"Should I inform Master of this?" Hell, even Freid sounded a little perturbed.
"Not yet, we'll tell him after we get Lucy home, once everyone is out of danger." What Laxus just said jolted me out of shock.
"Danger!? What are you talking about? I'm not a danger to anyone!" I very nearly came close to shouting at Laxus. He looked to me with a scowl on his face.
"Your injuries were bad enough that you were going to bleed out in minutes." His voice held annoyance and anger in it.
"What the hell does that have to do with me being a danger to people?" Then I remembered Wendy's telling of the spell. If I were to link the dying bird to just any other bird, I could inadvertently end both lives, so to be sure they both would live, or at least be mostly healed before the spell wore off, I would need a strong, healthy second bird.
"I see. Wendy 'linked' me to you. It's your magic that I just used. You want me out of here because of how hard it is to control." I said, my voice calmer. "And I'm guessing it's because of you that I'm so impatient. And why my language is so... not me." Hell and damn aren't exactly swears, so I can't really say my language is full of vulgarity or profanities.
"Those were the things I was expecting to happen when I linked the two of you. We warned everybody in the guild about how your attitude might be a little different, I didn't tell them that once you hit something lightning would strike, both above and below your hand."
"Above? Wendy, what are you-" I looked up and saw another, larger, singe mark on the ceiling. I looked to Laxus and, with a worried voice, said, "Maybe we should tell Master about this now. I don't really get why you want to wait until after I go home, anyways."
Laxus looked like he was about to argue, or state why we should wait, but decided against it and nodded to Freid, who, along with Evergreen and Bixlow, left to go find the Master.
And out of the blue, I remembered something, "Would somebody mind getting me some clothes that aren't Gray's, please."
So, first I'd like to say thank you for all the reviews. And second, I'd like to apologize for the short chapter. I've been uber busy and work was hell a little bit ago and I just wanted to go home. But I've got a week off work coming up soon, and I'm supposed to be home alone during the day so I should be able to give you guys a (hopefully) longer chapter.
And, with that, my muses, I bid you farewell for now.
