Lucia
Light was shining through the opening of the tent and I could feel someone nudge my shoulder. Then came "cia, Lucia, Lucia come on its morning."
Opening one eye, I found Lucy smiling like she was having fun trying to wake me up. I wonder what i've been sleeping through?
Turning over, I heard and felt a smack.
Lucy started laughing and I realized what just happened, my wing had just smacked her in the face!
I started to sit up groggily.
"I'm so sorry! I forgot that i was in my other form." I pleaded
"It's okay, I've never been hit with a wing before!" Still laughing but then remembering why she came "Oh yeah breakfast is almost ready. I was told to wake you up."
"I'm the last one up?" I asked
"Yea, and you sleep like a rock! It was hard to get you up." Lucy said walking out of the tent.
I got up slowly and waled toward the others. They were happily eating their breakfast. I took a seat next to Gray and was offered my share.
"How are you feeling this morning?" Gray asked
"A little bit better than before." I replied but before saying anything else, Hunter and I both looked up each other. "Hunters!" we said in union.
The rest just gave us a weird look like we spoke in another language.
"Hunter use your Sonic Wave spell to look for them, we'll get everything ready to go." I said
"Got it, Transform!" Hunter said running away.
"What's Sonic Wave do?" Erza asked
"Its a locator spell, he can either look for people or see how many there are and how far away they are. Its pretty helpful." I replied
"Ah, I see that would be a very useful spell but why does he need to use it?." Erza said
"Hunters are our trail, we need to get everything packed up and go!" I said, my hands started to tremble at the thought of running into them.
Everyone scrambled trying to get things together but Gray stayed by me.
"Lucia its going to be okay, I know it will. Just stay close to me." He said grabbing my hands, trying to calm me down
"Thanks Gray, your always there for me lately." I told him
We walked towards one of the tents and hurriedly took it apart. Grabbing everything in sight and Hunter came back panting like he ran a marathon.
"We got about 25 Hunters a 1 mile away." Hunter reported, in his fairy form he had the purple wings with music notes and green shirt and jeans.
"Alright then lets get going!" Natsu said taking off
"Aye, Sir!" Happy followed
"Um.. Natsu, Happy, that's the wrong way, its actually this way." Hunter pointed toward the opposite direction.
"Oh, I knew that. I was uh test you ya." Natsu said turning the other way.
"Geez Natsu, your always in a rush." Lucy complained going after him, with Erza trailing behind.
"Hey guys hold on I'm gonna try something." I said
"What are you planning now?" Gray asked
"I was thinking of making a clone or two to get them off our trail." I replied
"You can't! That would drain you even more." Hunter was angry
"But I'm one of the only ones able to do it."
"How is she one of the only ones able to perform this spell?" Gray asked
"We aren't really suppose to talk about it but i guess it doesn't matter anymore." Hunter started "The cursed twins have their normal powers but they also have some secret and rare powers. Extra powers about every fairy use and there are lots of different one but cloning, speed flying, and anything you can think of that aren't natural or common are classified as rare. Example, mine are healing and combat meaning during battles I can see how a person fights and come up with plans."
I looked down at my feet. I hate talking about this but I don't have a choice anymore "My extra powers are manipulation meaning I can control things and make them do what I want, cloning which I think you understand, and speed flying meaning I can fly faster than the usual fairy." I talked while still looking down at my feet
"That's so cool! Can you show my some of that when we get back!" Natsu said jumping up and down with excitement.
Gray came up behind and smacked his head "Stupid pyro, she only has enough to stabilize herself right now. Think about it, when we get back you think she will have enough to perform spells."
"No, its okay, I should have enough to perform a little spell like that." I laughed, seeing those two fight was always fun to watch.
"Anyway, I'm going to perform the spell now." I said
"Your so stubborn. Fine whatever!" Hunter said
"Soul, Hear Me Call, Come and Take Form!" I chanted
Appearing next to me was another version of me. The others except Hunters, stood there with their mouths opening.
"Um, okay then please go off into the other direction until you reach the outer edge of the forest." I told it
It took off and we continued on our way towards another end of the forest.
++++.
The group walked almost the rest of the day but Hunter could still feel the Hunters nearby. It was getting near dusk but they decided it was better to keep walking through the night since they were being followed but by only half of the original amount. Apparently they took my bait.
I feel so drained now, my head was spinning. My legs gave away from under me and I fell to the ground. I could feel hands on my arms, trying to gently help me up again.
"Lucia are you okay?" Gray asked
"I'm sorry, I made you worry again. I'm fine don't worry about me." I smiled at him
"No your not, that spell took it out of you. I told you not to do it but do you ever listen to me no." Hunter chimed in
"You should know me by now, doing reckless things are my specialty."
"I wish they weren't"
"i'm fine though lets keep moving." I started moving again but quickly found my friend, the ground.
"Your not fine, keep tripping and you'll risk ripping your wing even more."
"But we h-have to keep moving. If we keep walking through the night we would be there by the afternoon" I tried to convince them.
"She's right we should keep moving. I'll help her, don't worry about a thing." Gray said pulling me up and on to his back, piggy back style.
"That's fine just be carful with her. Her wings almost drag on the ground." Hunter said
"Someone needs some sleep." Gray whispered
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothing."
Hunter took the lead and was leading us toward the village again. While behind in the back, Gray and I laughed over what had just happened.
After a few minutes I asked "Are you sure its okay to carry me? I'm not too heavy or anything?I mean my wings do add a few pounds"
"Don't worry, your barley nothing." He said quietly "Why don't you try and get some rest, its been a long day."
"It wouldn't be very far though. Everyone else has to walk and stuff." I realized, he was right I could really use some rest
"Don't worry about them, they don't have to keep in a fairy form for days." He laughed a little
"Thanks, I mig-might take you up on y-your offer." I said yawning, closing my eyes I felt the world around me vanish
++++.
Gray
Oh gods, what have I done! I pulled her onto my bag and now I said she could sleep! I guess she did need some rest though. Why did I act without thinking? I mean not that I don't mind her, I just hope she doesn't mind.
I felt her breath, in and out, in and out. It was almost a little calming knowing I have her near me and not stumbling around. I wish this moment wouldn't end.
