I Want You Back

Can you help us?

{NASHI'S POV}
I wake up and yawn, stretching as I sit up. My body hurts. Then I blink, because I'm sitting in the middle of the road in my pajamas with Emma and Sylvia. My magic insures that I don't get cold, and Sylvia seems fine too, but Emma is shivering.

Slowly, the events of last night flood my memory. It hurts to move from all the energy I used. I'm not gonna be able to stand for a while. That kinda leaves me helpless. I try to reach over and shake Emma's shoulder to wake her up, but pain shoots through my arm, and I cry out.

"Emma. Sylvia." I croak, my voice horse. I try to get their attention again, a little louder this time. Sylvia's eyes flutter open, and she lets out a screech when she realizes where she is. I guess, unlike us, she was asleep when Regina took her.

"Nashi-san? What's going on?" She asks when she finally notices me. I give her the short explanation of what happened last night.

"I think I used way too much magic power. I can barely move." I groan.

"Sylvia is going to go and get help for Nashi-san and Emma-san!" She says determinedly and runs off in the direction of the guild. I try to call her back, but my voice is too weak and she doesn't hear me. How could she just leave us here defenseless? I certainly can't use magic in my condition, and Emma's in pretty bad shape too.

"Oh my goodness, what's going on?" I whip my head around to see a kindly looking old lady staring at us, her mouth agape in shock.

"Can you help us?" I whimper weakly. She immediately grabs both of us and carries us into the house that Regina was standing on before. It must be hers. As soon as we're inside, she lies us on the couch and brings us blankets.

"Thank you." I murmur weakly.

"What happened to you?" The old lady pries nicely.

"We're wizards from Fairy Tail. Last night we were almost kidnapped, and I used a lot of magic. Our guild is going to be coming soon." I tell her, cutting out some important details, like that strange new fire magic I used. It was like my body and mouth moved of their own accord when I got mad.

"Oh my!" The old lady covers her mouth with her hand. Horror is written all over her face.

"Sylvia left them right here!" I suddenly hear Sylvia shout. Looks like she brought help.

"Split up and search! Jared, Regina, and Matthias might have come back for them!" It's Aunt Erza's voice. She sounds panicked.

"That's them." I try to stand up, but the old lady pushes me back down again.

"Stay here child. You're clearly injured, so I'll bring your friends to you." I nod, and the old lady walks back to her front door.

"Might you be Fairy Tail wizards?" She starts. After that, there are a few incomprehensible words, then Aunt Levy dashes into the room, followed closely by Uncle Gajeel. She sighs in relief when she sees me and Emma, and pulls us into a tight hug.

"We woke up and you were gone, plus the house reeked of Jared and Matthias." Uncle Gajeel explains. Aunt Levy is crying.

"We were going crazy with worry, only to find out that Sylvia too was missing when we when to the guild. Everyone was freaking out, and the dragon slayers couldn't even track your scent, but then Sylvia burst into the guild hall crying about how you two were hurt! You scared me so much!" Aunt Levy bawls. Emma wakes up.

"Mom, I was so scared!" She shouts when she sees Aunt Levy. The two of them have a mini bawl fest together, while I look around.

"Where's Daddy?" I whisper in Aunt Levy's ear.

"Outside with everyone else. He's really worried about you." Aunt Levy answers me. A lady with pink hair walks into the room. She's scowling.

"Nashi, meet Porlyusica. She's a healer." Aunt Levy wipes the tears from her eyes as she introduces us.

"Out! I need peace and quiet to work!" Ms. Porlyusica yells. Aunt Levy bows and exits the room quickly. Ms. Porlyusica begins to check first me, then Emma. She nods to herself and leaves.

"They'll be fine. Nashi used a lot of magic power, but rest should cure both of them." Ms. Porlyusica tells the guild, and there's a massive cheer. Daddy comes in to check on me.

"Hey Nashi, how are you feeling?" He pats my shoulder. I wince. Daddy's strong.

"Pretty tired. Jared said they'd come back for us later." I tell him. He looks furious.

"Don't worry. I won't let them touch you ever again." Daddy sounds determined. I lean against him and fall fast asleep, comforted by how safe I feel in my Daddy's arms.

I know he'll protect me.
