Sorry this is another short chapter and sorry it took so long to get out to you guys!
ts been about two days since Lucia's wing ripped. During that time Hunter had woken up and explained that he had heard Blaze talking to the Hunters about his plans. He had also been searching for Lucia. Seeing that her wing was ripped and he was taught to heal with his magic, to go back to the village to see if there were a few supplies left to make the things he needed. Only thing was the village was a good 3 day journey away and with Lucia's power draining they had to hurry and set out the next day, of coarse taking Gray, Lucy, Erza, Natsu, and Happy.
Lucia
About half of my magic has been used up, I wonder if I'll be able to hold out? It doesn't matter I have to or risk losing parts of my powers. I thought
We left Fairy Tail early that morning, Hunter and I leading the way to our village. We've been walking basically all day in a forest and we were almost near the end. The next thing would be the mountain we had to cross. Only it would soon be dark.
Looking up from the ground, I noticed Hunter was up front and I had made my way to the back. When did I do that? I could feel my feet slow down and I tried to use the trees to guide me. Gray turned and noticed me.
"Hey guys wait up." He called walking away from them
"No I'm fine lets keep going" I tried to sound strong
"Its going to be dark soon anyway, so why not break camp here? Your probably tired from staying in that form right?" Gray turned to me with that worried look on his face
"I agree, we can countiue tomorrow right now we get ready for nightfall." Erza said putting down her stuff
"Yeah, we've gone a good distance so far" Lucy chimed in
"Aye, Sir!" Happy called
"Whattt, that's all we're going and we haven't meet anything to beat up yet!" Natsu wined
"Shut it, flame brain. How would you like to walk with wing being covered and having to keep using magic to stable them." Gray whacked him on the head
"Oww, that hurt you popsicle! Okay, sorry Lucia I didn't think of it that way."
"We're just lucky she has more power than a regular fairy or she might have collapsed by now." Hunter called, helping set up a tent.
"Don't worry guys, I still have about half left." I tried to assure them
"It doesn't matter, your grower weaker by the day, we'll have to pick up the pace tomorrow" Hunter called setting up anything tent
"While we get things set up why don't you try to rest?" Gray said to me smiling
Why is it when he smiles, I do whatever he says? I thought "Yeah, okay." I slid down the closest tree to me and shut my eyes, trying to find a comfy spot. Geez, why do I have such huge wings.
Gray
I watched as Lucia moved every few minutes and let out a little laugh. When she was standing or walking you couldn't tell there was wings under her cloak but when she sat you could see little outlines of them.
We finished putting up the tents and Lucy and Erza tried to make dinner. Natsu had gotten a fire going which helped. I caught myself looking in Lucia's direction every so often, but not only me I noticed but I saw Hunter glance few times too.
"So does she really have as much magic as she says?" I asked Hunter
Glancing up at me e said "Its hard to tell since her powers are a bit different but I think she's fine for now. She's always so stubborn." Hunter replied
"Haha… you two have known each other for awhile, so what was she like?"
"Her mom had always been fragile and sick, I was told and after Blaze and her were born, she had died. The twins had to be raised by their father. Only thing was he blamed Lucia for what happened to his wife since she was younger. Even others at school ignored and made fun of her since she couldn't control her powers like the rest and her brother. Blaze had always been there to back her up though, so going trough all this has mostly likely been hard on her. I'm glad she's meet Fairy Tail, so promise me you'll protect her or I'll have to show you my magic." Hunter said while holding up his palm music notes danced around
"You don't have to worry Fairy Tail and I promise to keep her safe."
"Good now it smells like supper is almost done, lets go check it out." Hunter said walking off
I was watching Lucia was we came up to the others. I'm guessing she finally fell asleep since she wasn't moving as much. I didn't know she had a childhood like that or a life like that. I vow not to let anything like that happen to her again. I will protect her.
