Into hell we go.

Chapter 15

The council finally finished excising the demon out of Nashi after another hour. "We've done all we can Makarov" said Jurrah. 

"Yeah , I know but it wont hold much comfort to her parents once I tell them" said Makarov sullenly as he took a breath and they headed for the waiting room where Natsu and Lucy were waiting. 

Once they heard the door open, they Immediately got to their feet. "Well!" they exclaimed as Lucy wiped her tears off her face. 

 The two of them saw that Makarov and the other members had saddened expressions. "Hey, what's with those faces, did you get it out??" asked Natsu. They didn't answer. 

" WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY KID!!" belted out Natsu. 

"She's alive Natsu, relax" he said ushering his hands in a downward motion. "Then why do you have those faces?" Lucy asked. 

"The demon..it caused more strain on her then we thought it would, we had her transported to the infirmary." "Can we see her?" she asked pleading.

 They all nodded their heads as Natsu grabbed her hand and the two of them ran past the council and Erza and Gray. 

 They ran until they reached her room and busted into it where Lucy gasped putting a hand over her mouth. Natsu had a blank expression on his face as they looked at her. 

She was sleeping but she made no indication at all that she heard them. The claw marks all down her arms made Natsu's blood boil as he saw the bruises on her cheeks swell up. 

"Nashi" said Lucy trembling. "We don't know how long she will be like this...that thing took a lot out of her" explained Wendy who had come in behind them. 

"Is there..anything you can tell us?" Natsu asked as his voice started to crack. "No, I'm so sorry guys" said Wendy getting emotional as she hurried out of the room before she started crying. 

Leaving just the three of them for Happy had stayed with Gray and Erza. They just stood there looking at her until Lucy slowly walked up to her and took her hand. 

" Please Nashi, you've gotta wake up" Natsu let out a depressed sigh as Lucy gently shook Nashi's arm. 

"PPplease baby, come on, don't leave us" she started to shake her arm more. "Luce, stop, stop, stop" he said as she started smacking his body.

Breaking down completely ,she put her hands to her face as he turned her towards him wrapping an arm around her. She cried into his chest. 

"Natsuuuu, we can't lose her" she cried. "Shhhh" he cooed. 

 "That's our baby dragon. She's a fighter, she's got our blood. We aren't losing her" She continued to cry. "Lucy" He began to gently rock her back and fourth as her cries got deeper. 

"Shhh Luce. It will be okay baby" he said comfortingly and compassionately. 

 After a while , she had stopped crying and had them sit against a wall where he had her sitting between his legs and against him. 

"Hey, there's something I need to tell you Luce" he said quietly. 

"What is it?" she asked, her voice hoarse from crying. "Nashi..she didn't just inherit my magic, she got yours too Lucy" he explained as he watched her face turn into one of shock but not surprise. 

"I wondered if she was going to get it" "Are you okay?" 

"Yeah I'm fine" she said with a smile. "How did you find that out?" "She opened the gate while we were playing. That's how we got trapped down there in the first place. A demon grabbed us and took us"
