We left later on to go find him.Happy lead the way to where he saw him and me last,but when we got there there was only a few traces of footsteps and blood spots here and there.I couldn't make out if it was mine or not,but then I felt very lightheaded.I hated being around blood.
"Lucy,are you okay?You look very green." Erza said.I stared at her before I found the sudden urge to talk."yea I'm fine." I spoke,keeping myself from gagging.
"CARLA!" Shreaked Happy.I looked at him,then out of the corner of my eye I saw a black shadowy figure behind Carla.She was bleeding from her arm,not a big cut,but it hurt her.
"CARLA!GET AWAY FROM HIM." Happy yelled,as he started towards her helping her up."Who are you!" Erza screamed.The person or thing just stood there.I don't know from where I got the courage from,but I fled towards it and grabbed Carla and Happy,before I ran back and set them under a tree.
"Virgo!Gate of the maid open thee!"I yelled."Yes princess,what punishment today?" Virgo calmly said."HELP HER!" I pointed towards Carla and Happy."Yes princess" She said as she started to walk towards them.
The black silhouette started its way towards Erza.I quickly ran in its way,not thinking,but it pushed me down into the ground.Erza hit it with her sword but nothing worked.It seemed as if the swords went through it but never hurt it.I thought for a few seconds,and got up and punched it with all my strength.To my surprise it fell down,but got up as soon as it did.I realized the answer.
"It takes physical contact to get hurt,not weapons!Weapons don't harm it!"I yelled towards Erza.
She nodded once and kept punching it.Clearly she had more strength but she kept going.On top of that Gray put ice on the ground and the thing slipped.Erza punched it one more time till it couldn't move.She was about to kill it when I yelled "WAIT!"everyone stared at me."HE MIGHT HAVE ANSWERS!"I was breathless and I realized that when it pushed me down I got hurt again.I didn't say a word,there was already to much tension clogged up in their heads.
