Thanks for the reviews, once again! truthfully, i'm over the moon that people are reading my story. I hope I can improve even more to get more reviews and readers :D (I may be a pain repeating this over and over, but i'm not gonna stop: i was taught to show my gratitude to others, so complain to my parents q: )
As usual, I remind you that I welcome constructive criticism (hope I spelled it right) even if it's the ugly truth, but just tell me why so I can correct it
HOPE YOU ENJOY THE THIRD CHAPTER! :D
BTW, when I use italics is either flashbacks or thoughts! I'll let you know when it's either though
So, what do we actually know so far?" Erza was sitting in a couch with a thoughtful look
She was with Natsu, Happy, Gray and Wendy in Lucy's apartment, while the celestial mage was recovering
"I would say that we should look into the dark guild we attacked in our last mission a week ago" Gray suggested
"I agree, but there weren't so many members that actually managed to escape. Don't you remember? I think only two or three got away, the others where taken by the council" Erza reminded him
Natsu was silently listening to their conversation, sitting next to Lucy and holding her hand, going over what Wendy had told him half an hour ago when they arrived to their current location
Flashback
Natsu laid Lucy on her bed, being careful not to do it abruptly and cause the wound to open again. Wendy, Erza and Gray followed him whereas Happy was floating over his shoulder
"Natsu-san..." Wendy caught a glimpse of his friend to find a terrifing look in his eyes, murderous-like "I know you are upset, all of us are, but..." she doubted for a bit, but decided to just come out and say it "I need you to pay attention to what i'm about to say" Natsu, that was kneeling next to her friend's bed, lifted his head to look at the blue haired dragon slayer "Polyuska-san will come here after treating the others, since lucy's life is not in danger right now. But that's not all: For what i've been sensing, there is a big possibility Lucy won't wake up anytime soon" When she saw his horrified look she added quickly "She will that's for sure! it's just that I can't be sure when that's gonna happen, could be a few hours, or a few days or weeks"
"So..."Erza started processing the new information "it's not a matter of "If..." but of "when...", right?"
"Yes" Wendy stared at Natsu "I promise I will use whatever amount of magic necessary so she can regain her consciousness" She announced firmly. Natsu nodded and stood up to grab a chair and put it next to the bed.
Natsu's hold of Lucy's hand became stronger as his mind repeated that scene over and over again
"You better wake up soon Luce" he thought "Seriously, if I had been paying enough attention maybe, then maybe, I'd have been able to hear them coming, or smelled the bomb... If only..." But his thoughts were interrupted by a nock on the door
"I'll get it" Gray opened the door to find Poliuska standing with a frown in her face
"You insolent humans make me come all the way here! Looks like you haven't been taught any manners!" the woman complained while excusing herself and entering the apartment
"Whatever... just take a look at Lucy and you can go" Gray rolled his eyes, he had gotten used to Poliuska's complaints
The woman approached the girl "So, what are you waiting for?" no one understood her question
"What do you mean?" Happy asked
"'It's enough that I have to stand the human stench, there are too many in this room. LEAVE!"
Gray, Erza, Wendy and Happy flew from the bedroom to the kitchen, but Natsu refused to leave
"What are you sitting around there for?"she was in her usual bad mood
"I'm staying" Natsu remained in his sit, refusing to move one inch away from Lucy
"Fine! just don't bother me and go to the corner, you stink" Natsu reluctantly did what he was told
Meanwhile, in the kitchen:
"Well, as I was saying, the best thing to do right now is wait for Poliuska's diagnosis. The best chance we have to get to them is finding out if Lucy heard or saw something out of the ordinary before the explosion"
"I think she would have said something about it, i mean, before it actually happened" Gray suggested
"Maybe there was no time. Anyway, If my memory isn't failing me, the dark guild we attacked last week was 'damnation' " (I know, such a lame name but my imagination can only go so far)
"AYE! And Natsu and I saw three man get away, but someone tried to attack us so we coulnt do anything about them!" Happy added
"What?! Why didn't you say so sooner?!" Gray exclaimed
"Gray-san, maybe he forgot because of what happened with Lucy... He must have been worried" Wendy defended the blue exceed
" Aye! Now that we are at it, I remember the magic one of them used and how he looked like. He had brown long hair with blue ends and his magic was a lot like Reddus' "
"Well, there must be something else we can find out about them! They should have found another place to hide from us since we destroyed the place" Erza focused on what they could do right now, without worrying about the past they couldn't change " Maybe they hid somewhere in town or..." She was interrupted by the sound of someone running towards them
"GUYS!"Natsu appeared on the doorway "IT'S LUCY! She is..."
Totally wanted a cliffhanger there! maybe you can guess what happens... or not :p
