Frea breathed heavily, wincing at the stinging pain in her side and the receding pain in her arm. She knew Senna wasn't there anymore, there's no way in hell the Dark Mage could have survived that spell. Her spell, its purpose to destroy the Evil belonging to the person or thing she had been attacking. Unfortunately, she could only Focus her spell on one thing or person, while Senna's pure evil body and soul had been destroyed along with the Poison she had put in Frea's body, the Energy Dragon Slayer was unable to get rid off the left over traces of Dark Magic still clinging to her body thanks to Kasumi.

It was because of that, she knew she was still dying.

At least she had finished her last mission, that's all that mattered at that moment. She winced again at the sudden pain in her side where Senna had cut her deeply. She felt completely drained, and she was having a hard time staying awake. She could just imagine Porlyusica's face if she were to see her right now, the old woman would probably be really mad. She silently thanked Natsu, the sheer amount of Magic Energy the young man had in his spells, had surprised her the minute she had eaten his Fire Ball. If he hadn't given her that, she wouldn't have been able to defeat Kasumi.

Her mind began to fall into darkness and her senses began to become muddied. She thought she could hear someone yell her name from somewhere far away before she gave in to the black waves.

Frea blinked her eyes open to see pale light streaming in through one of the windows in the Fairy Tail infirmary, she felt so weak and groggy, having almost no strength, hardly any of her Magic Energy had returned. How long have I been out...? She thought and shifted her silver gaze toward the door, she could hear the other Guild Members in the Main Hall. She was aware that the scratch on her arm had been bandaged up along with the deep slash on her side.

"You foolish girl..." Someone growled to her side and she sweatdropped at the sound, knowing exactly who had said it. She switched her gaze away from the door to her other side, seeing Porlyusica sitting in a chair by her bed, arms crossed and a furious yet clam look on her face. "I gave you that potion to humor you, not encourage you to waste all of your power!" The old lady snapped at her. Frea gave her a weary yet sheepish smile,

"Sorry..." She said quietly. Porlyusica sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, red eyes closing for a minute before she looked back at Frea.

"Just try not to wear yourself out anymore, the fight with Senna made your condition worse." Porlyusica growled and got to her feet, resting a hand on her forehead. "Your fevers gone..." She said quietly and drew her hand away, placing her hands on her hips and glaring. "Just because its going to happen soon, doesn't mean you should be reckless. Your going to have to tell the rest of them soon," Porlyusica told her. Frea looked away and frowned slightly, that was something she wasn't looking forward to.

How would she even begin to tell her Family she was going to die?

"I know..." Frea murmured, not looking at the old lady.

"I'm sorry I cant do more," Porlyusica said as she left the room, closing the door behind her. Frea looked at the door for a minute before letting out a soft sigh and closing her eyes. In all honesty, it didn't bother her too much to know her life was going to end soon. She hardly ever let negative feelings last too long, they made her feel too bad to let them hang around. She felt way to tired to even think about moving, but she didn't like just laying there either. She let out another weary sigh before letting her mind drift off into sleep.

The sound of a door being kicked down and yelling caused Frea to open her eyes, and glance in the direction of the noise. Natsu was lying on the floor, while Erza stood above him with a hand raised, as if she had hit him.

She didn't feel a whole lot better, and hardly any more Magic Energy had returned to her body since she woke up and spoke with Porlyusica.

"You must let her rest Natsu," Erza scolded and Frea smiled a little. She managed to push herself up into a sitting position and rest her back against her pillow.

"It's ok Erza." Frea said and both Mage's looked her way. Natsu jumped to his feet and ran over, a toothy grin spread across his face.

"Your awake!" He said and she sighed,

"Clearly." She chuckled and Eeza walked over.

"How are you feeling?" The red-head asked. Frea thought about telling the truth, before deciding against it.

"Ok," she murmured.

"I've been waiting forever to ask," Natsu said, getting in her face. "Why can you eat fire?"

Frea pushed him away, not at all pleased he was in her face as soon as she woke up. Besides, he had been the one to wake her up in the first place, that never made her happy.

"I'm a Dragon Slayer," she said. "Whose element is Energy. There are no Energy Mage's other than myself. So I don't have the chance of eating any pure energy." She explained. "Chaitanya was aware I wouldn't be able to eat pure energy unless she gave me some of hers, so she had me eat other elements and draw their energy out." Frea brushed a piece of her hair out of her face, considering her hair was left down at the moment.

"I was able to draw the Magic Energy out of your fire," She held up a hand as he opened his mouth to speak. "Before you ask, I don't eat everything, Natsu. Some of the other elements do make me sick." He stayed silent for a minute, looking as if he was trying to piece together what she had told him.

He grinned at her and she could tell, it all went over his head. "Whatever you say, hurry up and get better so I can fight you!' He said and she gave him a small smile. She sighed and smiled, placing her hand on top of his head.

"Sorry, I'm not really in the mood. Maybe some other time, ok?" She told him and he looked a little disappointed. He sighed and looked away, pouting a bit.

"Ok..." he grumbled and she messed up his hair a bit before drawing her hand back.

"How long have I been asleep anyway?" Frea asked, casting her gaze on Erza.

"Three days." The red-head answered. Frea nodded a little,

"Did I miss anything?" She asked.

"The Magic Council stopped by, they wanted to question you for information." Erza explained. "No one in the Guild would let them close to you." Frea blinked, then smiled, a wave of affection washed over her for her family.

"Why the heck didn't you tell me you could use Dragon Force?" She turned to Natsu, he looked a bit grumpy all of a sudden.

"Because you never asked." She said simply, he blinked at her answer.

"I shouldn't have to ask!" He pouted and she chuckled again.

"Calm down Natsu, it doesn't matter does it? It's not like its something I want to use to often." Frea answered. "I actually wanted to ask you something," She told him and he stopped pouting and tilted his head slightly.

"Yeah?"

"Did you do something weird with that Fire Ball you threw at me?" She asked and he took a minute to think about it.

"No, I don't think so." He finally answered and she looked away. That's a little amazing... there was so much Magic Energy infused in his fire... does Natsu really use that much of his Magic Energy with all of his attacks? She shook the thought away, not wanting to get into it.

"Why do you ask?" Erza asked and Frea smiled.

"Just thought I should," She said and gave Natsu a teasing smirk. "Don't want him poisoning me with his Magic do I?" She asked and Natsu looked worried.

"I swear I didn't!" He said hastily and she laughed at his panicked expression.

"It's ok Natsu, I believe you." She assured him.

Another one done! Hope your enjoying it and keep checking back for the next one!
