Welcome Back

Chapter 33

(Zara's POV)

Natsu yelled a little to loud for my ears especially since I'm right beside him, it caused my to let out a little yelp, which they heard. I told them it was okay but I was really nervous about this after all what I look like at this time is not a human. We all pretty much went our own way after that expect I followed Lucy to the bar.

"Who are you?" Mira asked. "Its Zara. I'm Zara, Mira." I muttered. "Then why do you look like that and with that hair colour?" she questioned.

"Jeez thanks. Its the moon, it caused my to lose practically all of my powers for the duration of its effect but I still have use of a few skills like telephay, my low fire, water, and air spells, but also some transformations that are in my blood. All to them a weaker than normal beside them I'm powerless, all of the boost I get from my dimensional powers gone, demon abilities gone, many (pretty much all) of my strong spells gone, I can't heal myself either... I'm just lucky to be alive right now." I muttered holding my side know I should look at it.

"We were attacked coming back they where after Zara." Lucy explained. "Yeah but we held them off!"

"Natsu! We nearly did. If me and their leader didn't do pretty much final bows on one another or their was a miss in my attack, I'd be dead." I huffed head on the bar. "What happened?" Mira asked.

"Well in the last moments of the fight I kicked him back and leapt for him, he had a gun out and ready at the same moment my hand shot at him as he pulled the trigger. Both blows fatal if not treated quickly, his more so then mine so I told his followers to him and go or he's dead." I paused for a breath then continued. "If that guy didn't catch me and see how serious the wound was I would had died from the fall or from blood loss. But those guys always go after me so its not anything new just the situation that we were in was a bad on." I sighed.

"Your still very powerful like this Zip." Sin sighed. "Yeah because I learned how to survive without the powers." I huffed. "Z calm down." Ta sighed putting a hand on my shoulder. "Who are they?" Mira asked. My ears twitched at the questioned I wasn't sure to to say. I glanced over to them they where no help shaking they're heads.

Great what am I going to say then! I grumbled I opened my mouth slightly. Got it! I exclaimed knowing it was really going to hurt.

"Urgh!" I groaned falling to my knees holding my wound then quickly I dug my claws in to make sure the wound reopened more that it already was.

"Are you alright!?"

"Y-yeah.. I think I reopened my wound." I groaned. "Let's take her home." Sin told Ta. "Yeah it will allow her rest too." Ta agreed. They grabbed a side and lifted me up. When we went past Lucy and Levy I winked, putting one of my bloody claw figures to my mouth telling them to be quite and not to tell the others, and at the sam time showing that this pain was on not an accident.

When we got far enough away they let me go suddenly making me fall to the ground. "Warn me next time!" I growled standing up. "Well next time tell us when your going to do that." Ta huffed. "Good acting though they definitely bought it." Sin laughed. "It wasn't all an acted my wound was already opened I just opened it more to make it look like its something that wound be of concern." I sighed showing the blood that was soaking the gauze.

"Well you could have just used that." Ta sighed. "No this amount was from a long time plus running to much for the opening that the wound already had, I had to make it worse and more believable." I sighed. "That was stupid." Ta hissed. "Well what else could I do? Ugh... let get to the cave though I need new gauze." I huffed as we walked to the cave.

When we got their Ta had me sit down and take off about all my clothing that would prohibit her from getting at the wound well Sin on the other hand fell asleep on the couch. When Ta finished covering my wound they was straining themselves just to be here.

"Guys go back and rest you don't have to stay with me. Your going to kill yourselves at this rate if your not careful. Our power are weakened and being like this is putting a strain on you I can take care of myself... save your strength for later when you really need to save me from something dire which could happen so please go and rest." I told them putting my clothing back on.

I knew they wanted to argue but knew I was right and wasn't going to take no for an answered, but also just worried about them so they went back to the ear cuffs on my ears.

I went to my room and grabbed my blood red blade. The Bleeding blade was in its sheath as I wasn't out onto the beach the sword on my back. I took a deep breath, in... out... in... out.

Unclipped the buckle of the strap, pulling out the sword as I let the sheath fall to the ground as I slashed the air in front of me. I was practicing with my sword, though I maybe hurt I need to stay sharp and ready.

I continued doing this over and over for hours to perfect this, and my technique then notice as sweat dripped from my forehead. I slashed my sword and sweat came off my hairs and forehead. I continued on either way practicing techniques and skills for any occasion that my occur. I didn't stop till after the sunset I went and grabbed my blade's sheath and covered it putting away the blade. I was drenched in sweat, my wound let like it was on fire, and I was burning.

I put my blade down in the sand I looked at the water them took off my shoes, socks, pants, and shirt. I put my jewelry in the pockets of my pants and in my shoes. The I just ran straight for the water.

When it was deep enough I jumped dived into the water and quickly coming back up into the surface. This feels so great. I sighed as I swam going underwater from time to time. After a while I started to swim back to shore. I grabbed my things a went back inside.

I got a towel and put it around myself, put my jewelry and the blade away then I put my cloths in the wash. I grabbed something small to eat, wrote a little in the journal then got ready for bed.

"It's a little lonely here alone its really quiet..." I muttered them look at my wound which was sill fresh and well there then lied down in bed then let darkness consume me.

What I saw in my dream was odd I didn't really understand it.

It started out nice the normal dream with that boy in the park with the cherry blossom trees. Then it changed when everything around me turned dark and when I could see again the area was on fire blood dripped down my arm and face with my blade in hand. I looked up and saw Gale... the wind elemental of the dime-invaders.

What does this mean?

Sin: Come on Arc tells us whats wrong?

Arcin: It was my own stupidity and my anxiety when ever I have test. Everything just flies out the window... then also it wasn't even the test I thought it was so that made me mad at myself for thinking other wise... and many other things I rather not get into detail of.

Zara: Well everyone mess up sometimes.

Arcin: Yeah... but every time I have a test I can study my heart out and can remember it, as soon as I get in the room, or have it place in front of me or what ever you get what I mean, I'll freak out. Get all nervous and mess up things I know how to do... It gets me frustrated and upset since I know I can do better.

Ta: Don't people use tricks to help with that?

Arcin: Yeah I use a lot of them and they don't always work... I hide I was going to try chewing gum for this one but the gum I bought I took a few pieces gave one or to to my mom and dad, then my brother stole them all and the last one which I was saving for this test. I get nervous easily... like a quiz I can study what it is on and remember it then take another quick glance or reads of it before I have the quiz then when I get in or its time to take it things that I highlighted or what ever I will forget I don't make notes since I never can use them. Projects I'm fine till I have to present them then I'll be an bubbling idiot shaking, can't look up or at people with out shaking.

Sin: Arc calm down.

Arcin: I-it Just makes me so upset and angry! I j-just-

Natsu: What's wrong with her?

Arcin: Sniff... Sniff.

Zara: Its okay Arcin.

Natsu come over to Arcin and ruffles her already messy hair.

Natsu: Don't cry Arcin your alright.

Arcin: ...

Natsu smiles his big grin at her.

Arcin: Alright... I get it. Don't worry I'm alright... I didn't come to get sad I came to get my mind off this. Thanks... I'm alright guys.

Zara: Good.

Sin: Alright well later Arc.

Arcin: Bye.

Ta: I got to go to Arcin.

Arcin: It's okay, see you later.
