The Opal Sphere

Drained

Natsu's POV:

Every step I took was a step away from Lucy, how could i find out if anything happened to her? Why did everything have to happen to Lucy? I already knew the journey would be long. Even when me and Lucy escaped, we were going quite fast and it took us awhile, but in this big group, i think it will take forever.

"Juvia, are you sure you're alright?" Gray said, for the millionth time. It was nice that he was concerned for Juvia, but he asked her every second and it was just getting ridiculous.

"I think if she wasnt alright she wouldnt have come" I turned around and said, "I dont think she needs asking every minute"

"Natsu calm down, he's just concerned" Wendy said. She was always so nice to everyone. "You don't have to be so upset" She was right, i did feel myself getting angry, maybe its because i'm not near Lucy.

"Natsu is also right Gray-sama" Juvia forced out a smile, but you could tell she was in pain. " it's nice that you're concerned about me but I don't need to be asked all the time"

"I just want to know that your okay" Gray looked at Juvia like she was the only thing important to him. It was like how I looked at Lucy. Oh I hope she's okay.

If I remembered correctly, we should be there in about a day. I just wanted to get this over and done with. I'm fed up of Lucy getting hurt because of things like this. Why couldn't someone else got hurt for once?

Lucy's POV:

I blinked a few times before my eyes came back into focus. "Porlyusica?" Why was she here ?  I scanned the room and all I saw was loads of herbs and medicines, no-one else was in the room apart from me and Porlyusica. "Finally Lucy your awake" her voice sounded panicky, she never sounded like this. " do you remember what happened when you were there" her eyes had widened, this seemed really serious. "I was trapped in something.. in a dark room" I was trying to recollect the previous events, but my mind just seemed blank. "Where's Natsu?" The last time I checked he was here by my side, then everyone got shoved out of the room. That means he must be outside. I sat up ready to get out of the infirmary bed, but then Porlyusica put her hand in my shoulder. "They've gone to help Erza in Mikage Forest. You need to rest" Mikage Forest? That sounded familiar somehow. "Can I at least go to the guild hall?" I just didn't want to be stuck up here in this bed. "Come on them" Porlyusica helped me up and we both made our way down to a table in the guild hall.

"Where is everyone"  Master was at the door, it seemed that he had finally returned "what happened to my guild?"

"We got attacked Makarov" Porlyusica said. Her voice was back to being blunt like it usually is. "Erza has found the guild and that's where everyone is going. Come sit down we'll explain all" Master's face was still full of shock.

The rubble still hadn't been cleaned up yet, some of the tables had been picked up and all the plates and cups had been cleaned up. The door was broken so anyone could get in. Porlyusica had just finished explaining what happen and Master didn't say a word. He sat back an let out a sigh. "Well I guess we could either wait here or go to Mikage Forest and help out." I so desperately wanted to help. I wanted to help find Yukino, but Porlyusica wanted me to rest. I could see why she wanted me to rest, but I just really desperately wanted to help out, after all they have done for me. "It's too dangerous for Lucy, I will not let you take her" Porlyusica's voice was harsh. "Well it's really up to Lucy what she wants to do" Master answered.

Natsu's POV:

Nightfall had approached. We could have stopped and made a camp but Erza needed us. "Natsu" I heard a familiar voice scream. A magic car was heading towards us and aboard it was: Gramps; Porlyusica and Lucy. Lucy? "Lucy" I screamed. She was okay? The car stopped to a halt and she jumped off and ran towards me with a smile on her face. Why was she here, she's supposed to be in the infirmary. She ran towards me and wrapped her arms rounds neck. My body has stiffened up with confusion and all I could do was slowly put my arms round her waist. "Come on Natsu let's help the guild" she whispered in my ear.
