Gone With The Night

Gone With Our Dreams

Normal P.O.V

Lucy and Levy raced through the trees making their way back to the camp as fast as possible. Shades of oranges and pinks filtered through the leaves, it was sunrise by the time they had returned to their camp and Lucy collapsed face first on a hill, trying to regain her breath after the long amount of running. She rolled over and looked up, the light of the sunrise making her face glow slightly and her  hair shimmered in the grass like molten gold. "SO Levy, What should we do now? Stay here or leave?"
Levy sighed and looked around the campsite, they wouldn't find a place like this for a while and was it really worth moving, what if they didn't even come? "Who knows Lu-Chan, it's a great campsite.."
"Yea but what if we get caught?" The two girls fell into a comfortable silence as they thought about what they would do. As the time goes on the sunrise faded out into a soft blue sky and the inhabitants of the forest began to stir. Birds flitted from tree to tree, singing merry tunes and small animals like rabbits rustled in the bushes. For a few moments the girls relaxed, they had their eyes closed as they listened to all the sounds of the forest, the animals, the soft rustle of wind, the calming melody of the river and the beautiful leaves that littered the clearing, it was all to perfect to leave.

The girls had finally relaxed from their busy night when the birds stopped tweeting. "Levy something is wrong." Lucy stated and  Levy nodded and they stood up and looked around trying to detect the source of the disturbance.usy
"Lu-Chan! The royal army is nearing us, we should be able to see them soon, lets get out of here!" The girls frantically scrambled to grab their emergency bags that they had packed especially for this situation. Pulling up their hoods they scattered in opposite directions through the thick trees behind them, breaking up was their mistake.

Lucy's P.O.V

I ran as fast as my feet could carry me through the trees, hopping over roots and ducking under branches. It was then that I felt my feet slip on something and it was that apple I was eating yesterday! Cursing under my breath I rolled across the floor, my bag was thrown off of my back and it rolled a few meters away. Groaning I stood up but my face twisted in pain as my ankle gave out beneath me but I quickly grabbed a thick branch to steady myself from falling. I reached out and grabbed my bag before analyzing the condition of my ankle. Badly sprained, just what I needed right now. Walking was painful, let alone running and I tripped over as soon as I let go of the branch and my face hit the dirt once again, for the third time today.'If only I hadn't split up with Levy or been eating apples this wouldn't have happened'. It was then that I heard a chuckle from some bushes behind me and I got into a kneeling position and twisted my head and shoulders round to glare at the bushes, obviously they were unfazed because my hood was pulled up.

It was then that the pink headed guy from last night stepped out. He was wearing a massive grin and stepped out in front of me with his arms folded. "You look really funny lying on the floor like that." I growled and he chuckled before I managed to stand again using the branch and I climbed the tree slowly, he was too busy laughing to notice that I had climbed the branches and when I was at the top his eyes snapped ope and he stopped laughing. "Hey get back here!" I heard him yell but I was already swinging through the trees and using my not hurt leg as a speed boost. Looking down my eyes widened, he was running a little to the left of me and we made eye contact. He smirked, I snarled. "Open gate of the Maiden, Virgo! Open gate of the Bull, Taurus!" My spirits appeared in a puff of smoke and pinkie screeched to a halt. 
"Punishment, Hime?"
"I won't let you harm hime's beauootful body!" My spirits charged at him and leaving them behind I continued, leaving the noises of battle behind me. But soon my arms began to hurt from grabbing the tree branches and as  the strain of not getting any sleep and then calling out more spirits took its toll on me and my physical strength  became weaker. Then I had an amazing idea, I pulled out my remaining dagger and rammed it into a tree trunk, using it as a leverage point I shot high into the air and pulled out my whip, using it to swing through the trees at a fast pace. Soon I closed the gates to the celestial spirit world to try and regain some energy but I was running out, fast. I was frantic with worry about what I was going to do when the whip missed a branch and I fell to the floor.
