Chapter 12 - Searching

"Come on WIlson!" Natsu shouts. The remaining Slayers, Wendy, Gageel and Natsu, were trying to teach their friend how to use an element, but first one needed to find an element. No such luck had greeted them.

'I'm sorry,' the dragon mentally whispered, 'I'm never going to be able to do this! I should just leave so you can get on with your lives.' He flew off.

"Not again!" Wendy whined. "Natsu, you make him do this every time."

"He always comes back," Natsu mumbled.

"But what if he doesn't?" Wendy looked him in the eyes, "Wilson is our only chance, Natsu."

"We still have that sword that Lucy and Laxus are looking for."

"It's been four months. If it wasn't for the thought projection they sent. The Dragons would be dead. Natsu, I doubt that they will ever find it."

Natsu blinked, "You sound like all the other people who have given up hope."

"Maybe because there is no hope left."

"There is still hope!" I cry. I jump over the last rock and find another ancient temple. Laxus and I had looked through over forty ancient temples in the past four months and none of them had the sword in it.

"I never said there wasn't. Just that there is a small chan-" I can no longer hear Laxus scrapping his feet on the rocks.

"Laxus, if you think it's funny to attack me suddenly, it isn't." I say not looking towards the Slayer, knowing, that if I did, he would attack and I wouldn't be prepared. He didn't attack for a few minutes, so I cautioned a glance.

A dragon...he was hiding a dragon! "Laxus," I never take my eyes off the creature, "what are you doing?" I can only see it's rear; the rest is hidden behind a tree.

"I, uh, I was going off to kill this dragon."

"Why couldn't you do it here?"

"I didn't think you would want to see-"

"Laxus," my voice turns cold, "Kill the fucking dragon."

He gulps and nods. I watch as the dragon comes from its hiding place.

"Natsu!" Wendy sobbed, "Wilson isn't coming back."

"What?" the older SLayer shouted.

"Carla just had a vision; Lucy found him and told Laxus to kill him!" she began to sob harder towards the end.

"Laxus wouldn't kill him," Natsu tried to reason.

"This is Lucy. If Laxus doesn't kill him, Lucy will kill both of them."

"We're doomed," Natsu planted himself on the ground. Wendy only nodded.

"It's so small," I whisper. I approach the dragon hand extended; I don't know why, but I felt this dragon was different. My hand reached for its neck...a ribbon. He was wearing a necklace?

My hand rip off the adornment, "A key…" I mutter. It was black and had a dragon's head at the top.

"Lucy?" Laxus' voice takes me out of my daze.

"Sorry," I look the dragon in the eye, "Laxus, don't kill him. This is Draco, dragon of the stars."
