The Fire Within (#Wattys2014)

Chapter 7-Gray's POV- Water versus Ice

The Phantom Lord guild is tough, especially this Gajeel guy. Apparently he has some sort of dragonslayer magic like Natsu so of course I want to challenge him. I tried to fight him one on one but Erza prevented me.

“His partner, a woman, is gone. She is probably after Lucy. Find her and take her out before she captures Lucy!” Erza barked at me.

I knew that she was right and that I had to find Lucy since she was my friend even if she is the princess of Fiore. I ran outside the emergency exit and was about to run around the whole town of Magnolia when I saw a woman who I never have seen before.

 She had long blue hair, tightly curled with deep blue eyes. She was wearing a navy blue coat, a fur shawl and a fur hat with a yellow butterfly clip on it. She was walking towards Fairy Tail when she noticed me and stopped. “Oh you must be a Fairy Tail member and Juvia’s next opponent. You may be cute but Juvia will not hold back!” She stated calmly.

 I was shocked that this would be so open. Before I could react, she raised her hand and put me in an orb of water. Since I am an ice wizard, it was easy for me to break free.

“What did you do with Lucy!” I bellowed.

“Oh don’t worry. Juvia did not harm the princess. Juvia simply sent her home with Juvia’s comrade Gajeel.”  She stated as she was poised for another attack. Suddenly she began to walk away.

“Oi wait a minute! I am not done battling you and I thought you said that you were not going to hold back!” I shouted at her.

“Juvia cannot harm a man that she has feelings for. Besides Juvia has another mission to fulfill. Goodbye for now.” She said as she walked away.

This Juvia character is an interesting girl and I want to battle her again one day, but I need to tell the others what happened to Lucy. We cannot let her go home if she was forced to and if she does go home, we would lose a nakama.
