Chapter Ten

While Wendy was downstairs asking Mirajane if she had any extra clothes, Laxus stayed behind to keep any lightning I might create under control. Personally, I think he just didn't want to go asking the girls if they had any spare clothes.

The room was quiet. Really quiet. I could almost make out conversations from the guild hall, if it weren't for other people's words blocking it out. There was one that I could almost hear completely. Coming from my team.

"Wendy, is Lucy okay?" Erza sounded calm and worried all at the same time.

There was a pause, I'm assuming Wendy was talking.

"Can anyone go see her?" And Juvia is going to be upset about Gray wanting to see me.

Another pause.

"What do you mean it's not a good idea? It's not like she was diseased or something."

"Enough. Natsu, if Wendy doesn't want you to see her, there is a good reason." I heard the Master's voice coming from right outside the door.

I heard somebody running toward the door of the infirmary.

"Old man, I don't see wh-"

"I said enough!" I heard a crash.

Master Makarov opened the door and I caught a glimpse of Natsu slumped against a wall on the far side. Once the Master was in the room the door was shut, he crossed the room and jumped onto a bed beside mine.

"Now then," His tone was one of complete seriousness, "why are you wearing Gray's clothing?"

...

...

Wendy came into the room and looked to all of us and stopped walking at the fact the Laxus and I were staring at Master like he just grew a third eye. Wendy just shook her head and continued walking towards us and put the clothes she was holding on my lap.

"I am actually wanting to know." Master spoke as if his question was the most important thing in the world.

I cleared my throat to speak. "I woke up last night and went for a shower and discovered that there was no robes or gowns that didn't have my blood on them, so I went to look for something to wear and could only find these."

Master nodded, accepting it as a good enough answer, though he did look disappointed.

What was he expecting?

"So, my children, Freid told me that Wendy's spell went a little wrong."

"The spell didn't go wrong, it came stronger that it should have and connected their magic as well." Wendy quickly defended her spell.

"Even so, this could cause trouble. If the magic is too powerful for Lucy, she could cause harm to herself and others.

We don't know how strong the magic is. If it's at a beginner level, then we can teach her how to control it. If it's is at Laxus' level, who knows what she might cause to happen.

And we don't know if this will wear off with the 'Link' spell, or if it is now permanently part of Lucy. Either way, she should learn to control the magic that she has now."

Master had many valid points, but what could we do. Wendy didn't say how long 'Link' would last for. What if it's years?

"Maybe we should ask Polyusica. She was the person who gave Wendy the spell." We all looked to Laxus, he had a good point.

"Polyusica didn't write the spell, though. And Grandine was the one who gave them to Polyusica, to give to me."

"That doesn't mean she didn't study those pages. Or even used those spells once or twice."

"Wendy, Laxus has a point, it couldn't hurt anything to at least go ask. Maybe she can even tell us how long this spell will last." I looked to Master and he nodded his okay.

"Great, so I'm going to go get changed." I got up and walked to the washroom with the clothes.

So, my muses, I'm really sorry for the short, slightly crappy, chapter. I really tried to make this one longer, but my week off alone ended up not being so alone. This was written in those final days that I was actually alone. I promise the next one will be at least a little longer.
