Lucy P.O.V.

It's the day after the dragon festival and me and Wendy are still in the guild's infirmary to recover from the massive magical strain. Gottfried had really drained us of every single magic particle. Porlyusica already came to see us with one of her famous magic replenishing potions. Now, of course she didn't particularly wanted to see me, but the old woman was worried about Wendy. Not surprising, considering how she's Edolas' version of Grandeeney, Wendy's dragon parent.
When the dragons left, Wendy was just a 5 year old child. So she had to wait 7 years to find her mother's Edolas counterpart, only to find a cranky pink haired woman. Lucy giggles inwardly at her description of the woman. The woman absolutely hated humans, for some reason no one really knows, and always chases everyone out of the room with her broom. Yet, when one of us needs help, she is always willing to help.
"She really is one strange woman."
The voice beside my bed startles me. At least until I look up to see regular scowling face of our resident poison dragon slayer. "Good morning, Erik."
"Good morning? I wanted to crawl into your bed this morning, only to be met by a freezing cold."
"Well sorry. I had to stay here, doctor's orders."
"Not anymore. You're free to go, so get lost." Out of nowhere, the pink haired healer appears at the end of my bed and sends me a glare.
I just smile brightly at her. "Thank you, Porlyusica." Immediately I throw my blankets off of me and jump off the bed. "I'm heading home. I desperately need a shower and clean clothes."
"Yeah, I can smell that." Erik sends me an amused look while my jaw drops in shock.
"You're not welcome in my bed anymore. I mean it."
"Well, you can always try to keep me out."

We start walking to my apartment in comfortable silence. I still don't know why Erik decided to come along, but here he is anyway. Glaring at every man with the guts to even look at me. I constantly bite my lip to stop myself from laughing. However, I can't stop myself from wondering why he does that.
"Because they take one look at you and already their mind starts imagining you, naked, on their bed below them. Disgusting pigs."
"Well shit." I never thought about the reason why they would look at me. Is that really the only thing men see in me? A girl to fuck? Is that really all that I am?
"No, Lu. You're definitely more than that. They just can't see it. It once again shows how disgusting they are."
I send Erik a small smile before pulling out my keys. Honestly I can't wait to see Macbeth as well. I wonder where he got his food the past few days. Probably at the guild, keeping a close eye on the resident takeover mage. Talking about the takeover Strauss, I wonder how Lisanna is doing?
"You should talk to her when we get back to the guild."
"Why? Did something happen while we were gone?"
Erik just shrugs before slipping passed me and into the apartment. "What do you know?"
"Nothing. Just drop it and talk to kitty cat later."
I simply send him a glare before turning away from him and towards my bedroom. 'I really need that shower now.'
"Oh yes, you really do." Erik chuckles from the other side of the hall and I picture myself holding up my middle finger at him. In return he just laughs harder.

Erik P.O.V.

As soon as Lucy disappears into the bathroom I glare around the living room. Someone else is in here, and it isn't Macbeth. I growl lowly while baring my teeth, as I round the corner I freeze momentarily. Natsu. I can't stop the memory if his flames coming straight at me and burning my skin.
"What are you doing here, Cobra?"
"I could ask you the same thing. You should be locked up."
Natsu chuckles and looks at me darkly. "Did you really think anyone could stop me from breaking out? I still have a mission, you know. Kill you and take Lucy for myself." Images start flashing through his head. Lucy, captured and restrained, claimed to be Natsu's mate.
"You will never get to her, I can assure you that."
"I've already beaten you once before, and I'll do it again." His fists flame up, the fire growing each passing second. At this rate he'll burn this place to a crisp in mere minutes, with us in it.
I slowly start releasing some poison, ready to strike if necessary. But before either of us can move, the bathroom door opens.
"Erik, why did you turn up to heat? It's already too hot."
"Get your ass back in that bathroom, Lu. And call the guild. Immediately!"
Natsu growls loudly and takes a step forward. I cover my arms in poison scales as I try to hear the sound of his soul. But when I hear nothing, my eyes widen slightly. He's possessed, just like the other girl was.
"Good job, Salamander. Getting yourself hijacked by a demon." Behind me I can hear Lucy gasping.
'His body is taken over as well?' I nod slowly at Lucy's silent question.

Behind Natsu, Freed appears in front of the window, his rapier in hand. Putting up a rune barrier around Natsu in just mere seconds. As soon as he realizes it he roars out in anger, his eyes flashing into a bonechilling red color as his nails start growing into talons. He starts swinging his arms at the rune barrier, surprising everyone when his talons broke through Freed's spell. Before long, the barrier fell apart and Natsu lunged at the small blonde behind me. Said blonde was frozen in fear, until strong, muscled arms got wrapped around her tiny waist, pulling her from the line of fire.
"Everyone, run. Now!" Laxus, who had his arms wrapped around Lucy barked out the orders before escaping from the apartment, Natsu hot on their heels. I cursed before following the chase.
"Cobra, get to the guild, only there can we keep her completely safe." The giant blonde stopped running, only to be struck by lightning and disappear. I can hear footsteps approaching behind me and take a quick glance to see who it is. Freed and Bickslow, both running and glaring at Natsu's retreating figure.
"We can't let him reach the guild first."
"Got it. You guys just keep on running, I'll meet you there. Let's go babies." Bickslow jumps onto his 'babies', the small dolls immediately increasing their speed to catch up with the pink pyromaniac.

It's just a mere second, but Bickslow manages to reach the guild before Natsu, the first immediately takes over a trembling Lucy while Laxus sends another Lightning attack to knock Natsu unconscious. I arrive at the guild doors, accompanied by Freed, both of us are completely out of breath. As soon as I step inside I see Lucy running towards me, her arms immediately finding their way around my neck.
"Are you okay?"
The small blonde nods slowly. "Thanks to you being there. I can't believe he's actually possessed by another demon. First Yukino, now Natsu."
"I think he was already possessed when he tried to attack us the first day. He may be retarded, but I know he would never attack his own guild member."
Lucy nods slowly. "We can't do it again, Gottfried I mean. Not yet anyway."
"We'll find a solution my child. We always do." Master Makarov approaches us slowly and looks down at Natsu with a sad look across his face.

The only question now is: who is responsible for all these demon take-overs?
