Trash: A Collection of Stories

Chapter 2

The air rushed past my face as one of my hands grasped onto Natsu's and the other grasped onto Rouge's. We shot through the celestial world at high speeds, Horologium had his arms wrapped around my waist guiding us through the open space.

As we got further away from Edolas, pain slowly took over me. Magic was coursing through my body, a lot more than I've ever felt. I began screaming only to be joined by the slayers. Some how we hadn't caused a disturbance, no one came to my rescue, not one of my spirits came.

"Only a few more seconds until we reach the barrier between the celestial world and earth land," Horologium updated. I grew more nervous the closer we got.

And just like that, Horologium disappeared and we were flying over the kingdom.

"Happy, where are you when I need you?!" Natsu yelled out as we went from soaring to plummeting. Our screams turned from pain to horror.

"Right here, Sir!" His high pitched voice cheered and grabbed onto his collar. The four others were also grabbed out of the air as I continued down.

"Who's going to save Lucy?!" Wendy screeched.

"Let her fall, child. She has her own magic to use," Carla shushed her.

"No, we are still getting our magic back, she can't do anything," Sting yelled.

"She took you away from us and hurt us. She can fend for herself now," Lector agreed with Carla. I squinted my eyes close and threw my arms in front of my face, the ground coming in view.

"Someone help me," I'm pretty sure I ripped my vocal chords. The concrete street broke as I made impact, forming a small crater. My muscles wouldn't move, all I could do was lay in even more pain.

"Lucy Heartfillia!" A familiar voice barked. Oh, no. A fist smashed into my side and lightening shot through me. Laxus. I let out another scream, how am I not dead yet?

"Requip!" It was Erza this time. My eyes opened the tiniest bit to see swords raining down, encasing me in my crater.

"Satan Soul!" There goes Mira, coming at me with her claws. One sunk into my cheek, but was quickly tore out creating a tear in my skin.

"Stop it!" The slayers had landed but were being held back by the exceeds.

"How. Dare. You. Use. Our. Magic. Against. Us!" Mira seethed in between kicks.

"Mira, you should back up, I can see an angry Makarov in the distance," Erza yanked her out of the way as Laxus circled around me. A shadow engulfed me in darkness and above me.

"I'm so sorry," I was barely audible. Laxus rolled his eyes spitting on me.

"It's too late for that," he was furious. "I will be surprised if you survive this. Go ahead, Gramps!"

"I'm so sorry," I said once again, closing my eyes. Everything became darker as Makarov slammed his fist into the ground, breaking up more of the concrete and pushing me down even further.

I didn't even realize it had stopped until I was yanked up. I couldn't hear anything other than a slight ringing and my vision was really blurred. I came face to face with Laxus who looked disappointed and annoyed. He called out to the others, but it only sounded like a mumble to me and threw me back to the ground. With one last kick, their shadows faded in the distant.

Thankfully I was slipping into unconsciousness, but before I was out I felt cold metal slapped around my wrists, pulling my arms behind my back. I should have known this was going to happen.

The last thing I could make out was Natsu watching me in horror. I told you so.

When I woke up, I was once again in a cell. Just like last time.
