When Time Runs Out

Chapter 25

(Lucy's POV)

We finally regrouped agian. 'Thank Mavis! Sin was scary maybe more scary then Erza!' I sighed. When Zara started to ask Sin and Ta about some things, but I've noticed how she's been fixated on the time, I wonder why.

Just when Zara finished talking to Sin and Ta he appeared right when the time was told. Good there'ss no why you can get me in time sssince it took you 50 minutesss to catch my followeresss you'll never be able to get me in time!" He laughed, appearing from somewhere.

I looked over to Zara and she was gone but I looked over quickly seeing Zara there, and hitting him, with a strong punch. She them pulled out her whip, grabbing the man, and when I thought Sin what the most scary person I've met. Zara topped it.

"I'll get you in there before times up. And that is a prediction!" She growled with a scary aura coming off her, eyes dead serious, her teeth bare at him. 'Oh my Mavis she's scary when she wants to be. And what's worse is the grin along with it. Thank Mavis she's on our side.' I shuddered. I saw the guys face he was afraid... Zara knew that she was using it to her advantage.

I looked to Ta, and Sin unfazed happy grin on there face. "She saw it." Was what I heard Sin muttered.

(Levy's POV)

I was surprised teaming up with Ta. 'She's quiet strong I didn't think we'd finish that fast.' I sighed.

What was unexpected was the leader bent right there... Zara as well I've never seen something like that before, she's is not a person to get on her bad side, at all. I could tell her friends knew that for a fact.

This girl is something else, such a mystery. I've never seen anything like that, her change, speed, power, why use it now?' I muttered, wounding why was her plan, was it the entire time, and the biggest question was what is so important about the time.

(Happy's POV)

I never expected to see that from Zara but something big is happening. 'What's up Zara? Your change of act, could you smell him? I know your nose is much stronger like Natsu's. I never expected to see an aura like that from you... What is so important?' I mumbled.

I'm not like that I know, but even though at the moment I realllly want some fish I can tell now is not the time. 'Fish... Ark! Not now... Eep that scary aura just got bigger! Something's going to happen!' I gasped, a fish now in my mouth.

"Happy! Don't drool on my head?!"

"Sorry Natsu." I muffled with the fish hanging out of my mouth.

(Tasinmin's POV)

'I haven't seen Zara like this for sometime. She knows that's he's been following her for the last hour. She had a plan which work perfectly!' I exclaimed.

She was ready to end this before the closing moon.

(Sinetmn's POV)

'I never thought she had the guts to do this... but she's great! She may not remember but... She can pull it off I won't argue with that. She sure is Leaf's granddaughter.' I chuckled.

I knew of her plan... I never thought it work… but I knew about it... She made it after Natsu saved her looking in the sky she noticed something and made a plan from there.

I then saw the glint in her eyes. "She saw it." I muttered unknowing that I actually said it out loud.

(Natsu's POV)

For some time I smelt and additional scent beside use I wasn't sure what it was. Zara smelt the scent too. I caught her slight grin I knew I was going have to trust her without knowing what she was thinking, which wasn't the first time.

'I wish I got to fight some more... Jeez I didn't think Zara could have the same killer aura around her... I guess it makes some sense. She could die at any moment, or so she said.' I muttered.

She showed little fear, on the other hand the one she was fighting did.

(Zara's POV)

He got out of my whip's grip, I knew I had to finish this up quickly. I charge at him full force, pull out a dagger.

"Urk!" I groaned, as my appearance flashed to my demon form, it stung when ever this happened. "Your running out of time." He laughed. I could hear them asking Sin and Ta why that happened, but they couldn't answer knowing it was my choice.

"Maybe but I'll send you out of this place before the moon turns!" I howled, the moon was now reaching over the building tops behind me, I could tell only from the light the showed around me it was there.

He lunged at me getting my side as another spell hit me but harder than the last I bit my tongue to not cry out only making my own tongue start to bleed from biting it so hard. My wings were the only thing keeping me up in the air, but as time went on they started to fade from the closing moon's power.

"Ha! Getting hard to fly?!"

"Shut up!" I spat, I couldn't take him and the pain at the same time.

My wounds now closing but very slowly. He burned my side with a fire spell that I deflected back to him hitting him in the chest with his own blast.

I switched my weapon to dual blades, and started to grind the walls when my wings fully disappeared. He slashed my arm and my side when I was most open.

My swords be came dislodged and my one arm no longer strong enough to hold me up.

"Zara!" Lucy and Levy screamed watching me fall. "Eek! Sin! Ta! Keep me in the air till my spell's cast!" I yelped falling, giving me a slight nod, they used there magic, but their power was fading too, so neither one could do it alone.

I rushed at him with my swords, and surprised him. I locked my swords to his blade sparks came from the three blades. I kicked him back, he got a cut on my check, but not without losing his balance I then quickly took the opening.

I finally pushed him back my hand shot out opening a small portal gettin' smaller by the second. I could fell the blood drip from my many wounds.

My form now baring wolf-dog ears, tail, claws, eyes, and fangs all of it in full. I pushed him in with no time to spare, as he went in and I flicked in the warm blood that ran down my arm right into the portal right before it closed.

When it closed I began to fall. My form… it was my demon form... I was warring different clothing.

The moon was a deep shade of purple, it was very ominous.

I held my arm that hurt but know it was not the worse of my problems. For a few seconds as I looked around trying to find a safe path I noticed blood the blood that was dripping from my many injures. I noticed that I was close enough to the buildings that I could jump off them to get down to the ground slowing myself down enough to live and not break anything at the same time.

I jumped building to building getting closer and closer to the ground my claws clicking on the windows, and walls as I did so.

The last building I pushed off and flipped to the ground, landing softly and skillfully on my feet. I looked around, quickly then dashed to an ally with no people.

Waiting for the others, to get over here knowing it would take sometime before they got here I slide down the wall sitting down with my back on the wall. I tipped my head up looking up at the sky.

'I wonder if that spell is still in effect...' I sighed, my body was limp and eyes closed, but I was still alive. I heard foot steps and recognized there scent.

"Hey." I sighed. "What just happened?!" Natsu asked yelling it at the same time I covered my ears. "Lower your voice I can explain but I can't take the train so I'm going to walk back... Sinetmn, Tasinmin I know your tried, go back to your normal vessels, I'll call on you again later... you need to rest." I huffed.

"Thank you." They sighed an disappeared leaving only the two different coloured pistols on the ground right beside me. I picked them up and they change back into my ear cuffs putting them back on my ears.

"I get you have a lot of questions, I'll answer them later... But I need rest..." I started moving around a little trying to get up.

"Your bleeding." Natsu muttered. "Yep... But you don't have to wor-" I was cut off. "Don't say, don't worry! Zara your in a pool of your own blood." He huffed, in the dark a human couldn't tell, but Natsu's nose was strong so her could smell all the blood that was around me.

"I know... Like I didn't smell my blood... It's nothing big, I can survive this go back to the hotel. Rest and find me in the forest in the morning-" cut off once again but not by Natsu this time. "Why not stay with us in the hotel." Levy asked.

"I'm not good company to have around in populated places at the moment..." I sighed trailing off. I got up off the ground still out of sight... I slowly walked to half light letting the right did of my face showing, using the wall, they were a little surprised.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I huffed walking off. I lost a lot of blood which was affecting me now but I was in the forest at least. I wash my wounds in the river I found. I wrapped my wounds and look at myself in the water.

"I get why they were shocked... They never saw this side of me... They did see the side of Haven's demon princess... But in that look, the features are… different some how… it... It's like it not real... like your seeing a corsplay or a myth. But it now looks real... The real look of the demon. Even if it's not like demon's where so many years ago…" I sighed.

I had tattered clothing... This happens every time, the clothing gets ripped it was the fight that did this though. I sat up I the tree looking at the deep purple full moon.

(Natsu's POV) 2 minutes before finding Zara

I could get the scent of her blood with ease it was so strong, meaning that she's lost a large amount of it. 'Those wounds were no joke, and her friends that appeared, they seem to be have some trouble, but that Sin guy already barked at me once for asking.' I muttered I could hear the two's whisper's it didn't even seem like they were whispering.

"I hope Zara's okay." Sin coughed. "Yeah, she was injured quiet a bit in the fight... The closing moon is powerful, but so is she." Ta answered. "We have to watch for her." Sin stated but that's all they said.

"Don't you think what happened was odd." Levy exclaimed. "It's different for sure." Lucy agreed with her. "Happy what do you think happened?" I asked. "I don't know Natsu. But a lot of things around Zara are full of questions." He pointed out.

We went to the ally where the scent lead us.

But there was more questions then answers. But when Zara said she wasn't taking the train back, I wasn't going on back on it this time if she wasn't I'd rather not.

"Natsu, what's going on I don't even know anymore. But I'm sure Zara's here for a reason." Lucy told me as we walked back to the hotel. "I guess, but I don't think we'll get what happened here for awhile." Levy exclaimed.

I couldn't argue or think of anything to say, but I'm sure of this, that Zara is a friend so their must be a good reason for not telling us.

(No One's POV) Zara's dream

On the ground you saw a girl being grasped by the neck. Her eyes filled with anger, fear, and determination.

Those eye looked as though they've seen death it's self, but would not give up. Her nails dug into her attacker's arm.

"I-I just don't want anyone else to die! I have nothing left in this world! You have to live! Don't you understand!" The girl coughed.

You couldn't tell who she was talking to but what was happening looked real.

"Who are you?" A voice asked.

"I don't know... I can't remember but I know death, the feeling... Live on okay?!" She sobbed the hands gripping her throat even harder.

Zara woke up holding her throat, tears running down her face. "Why did that dream come up." She muttered rubbing her eyes.

'I'd rather forget that day… why do I have to see it tonight…' She mumbled.
