     I stretched after having stood up from my spot next to Natsu who was still complaining about the room spinning. My eyes then wandered over to Gray who looked, in all honesty, like crap. He must have used too much of his magic energy already. I took a step forward, catching him after his legs had given out.

"Gray. Hey, are you alright?" I check him over, to which he gives a strained nod.

"I'm fine. But we need to rescue Erza." He grits with exhaustion.

"Hm." I hummed, giving a determined nod. I looked back at Natsu.

"Natsu, you need to get up." I snapped but he still laid in his self-agony on the floor. Silent and limp, his soul still hovering over his body.

     I growled angrily and knelt down beside him. I grabbed the front of his shirt, shaking him violently. I knew it wasn't helping, which only made me angrier. I raised my hand and struck him across the face, proceeding to shake the male while demanding he pull himself together. But still, nothing. He remained a miserable lifeless heep.

"Uhh... M-Mara. I don't think that's helping." Happy smiled nervously. I whipped around to look at him at the comment, knowing he was right but still. This caused him to shudder.

"Hmpf. I guess you're right." I huffed in exasperation, grabbing the disoriented male and threw him over my shoulder.

"Happy, Simon. Take Gray back to the others, make sure everyone's alright. Natsu and I are gonna go after Erza." I instruct, already in the process of leaving.

"I'm afraid I must refuse. I'm going with you." Simon states, stepping forward as well. I eyed back at him, before shrugging carelessly.

"Whatever. Happy take care of Gray." I re-instruct, taking off with Simon in tow.

"Be careful.." I heard him mutter quietly. I grin back at him before we fully leave his view.

"Aren't I always?" I smiled back at him. If I were being honest with myself, I've been a lot more careful since joining the guild. Still reckless when it comes to my own safety but, I've learned to be somewhat more careful considering. Before I had no reason, no purpose to be careful, now, I'd just as carelessly give my life to protect theirs..
