Fairy Tail: A story for everyone

Chapter 4: Loki

The cave was so dark I felt like I was inside a mouth of a lion. I walked on for forever as I searched for my celestial friends. Once I figured out I left my friends defenceless, I swore I would find them and protect them.

I almost fell when the ground started shaking. I grabbed the side of the cave as I let my magic loose so I was able to see. That's when I noticed everyone was gone... Had I left them behind? But then I noticed the red glinting eyes and I immediately took a step back.

There, in the darkness of the weird mist was a bull. The bull looked like a regular animal, but what was it doing in the celestial world? It let out an angry moo before stomping it's hooves and charging. I immediately ran for the hills as I hurried toward the others. That's when I noticed that there were other animals... The cow, two floating piranhas, a giant crab, a big horn ram, a black sheep, a floating shark, two twin monkeys, an angry lizard, a scorpion and a horse that looked like it wanted to kill me.

"Run!" I shouted down the cave hoping the others would hear me.

"Loki? Is that you?" I heard Lucy's voice echo uncertainly through the cave.

"Get out while you still can!" I looked back and saw the dark mist. It was following the animals... Fear raked my body as I realized what might've happened to my friends. We're theses animals my- no they couldn't be!

When I rounded the next corner I saw that everyone had exited the cave except for Lucy. Oh Lucy... The girl who couldn't resist my charm and wonderful good looks. Come on Leo! Your in a crisis!

"Lucy quick get out!" I yelled angrily at her as I raced toward her. If it turned celestial spirits to dust and killed living grass, what could it do to humans and mages?

"No I can't leave you!" She yelled as tears formed in her eyes. As soon as I got close I pushed her out of the cave and into the chaos of the light.

"I'm sorry Lucy..." I stood up straight as I realized my fate. I pushed my glasses up on my nose as the dark mist hit my back and I let out a scream of pain.

"Leo!" Lucy screamed, but it was as if it was a distant memory.  I was engulfed in the darkness of the mist and my consciousness seemed to be slowly fading. The pain of being torn to bits slowly faded as my mind went dark for a moment.

I didn't know how long I was out, but when I opened my eyes I was still in the cave. My mind seemed foggy as I looked down to see paws instead of my hands. They were tanned with sharp claws and they reminded me of lion paws. I tried to move forward, but my body wouldn't listen to me, and  I heard myself let loose a roar without me even trying to. My body bounded forward not on my command, I wasn't in control anymore.

I kept growling before sniffing the air. I didn't know where I was going, but all I knew was... I was hunting something or someone.
