The Dragon Slayers Stone

Chapter 6

Levy P.O.V

I sat quietly by Gajeels sleeping figure while Lucy whispered to Natsu. I moved some of his black bangs off of his sweat covered face. I frowned a little and headed to the sink in the corner of the room. I made the water as cold as possible before soaking a cloth.

I came back and after squeezing out the extra water and laid it on his forehead. He stirred but continued to sleep. I gently held his hand as I watched him, worry creasing my face as he coughed hard in his sleep.

I jumped a little when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at Lucy and smiled a little. "Lets get some sleep. We will stop by before we leave." I nodded and stood up. I bent down and kissed his cheek before leaving.

Lucy hooked her arm through mine and smiled softly. "We will rescue them." I smiled a little and nodded.

We parted ways and I headed to Fairy Hills. I went ahead and packed my bag, putting warm clothes and two books, the one about the stone and the one about the lily, in as well. Once I was satisfied I finally changed and curled up in bed.

I woke early to a light knocking on my door."Levy-san, we need to go!" Wendy called. I got up, groaning. "Five minutes Wendy!" I called as I began to change. Once I was ready I headed out with my bag.

It was still dark out as we headed to the guild. The only people there this early were Mira and Lucy. Wendy waited downstairs as Lucy and I headed up to see the boys.

Natsu was sitting up looking out the window but Gajeel was still asleep. Natsu smiled weakly at us. "Morning." he coughed a little. Lucy tried to smile but she looked at him worried. "Morning."

I walked over to Gajeel and removed the now dry cloth from his forehead. He stirred and coughed hard, curling onto his side. I rubbed his back and, once he calmed down, he rolled back over.

He groaned a little and rubbed his forehead. "Hey." I said softly. He simply grunted before he looked up at me.

"How are you feeling?" I asked as I sat on the edge of his bed. "Pretty pathetic.... I feel like I'm on fire..." He muttered. I went and got the cloth ice cold again before coming back. I placed it back on his forehead after pushing his bangs aside. "Thanks." He muttered.

"Of course." I smiled softly. Lucy gently grabbed my shoulder."We gotta go." I nodded. "Where are you going?" I looked down at him."We have a lead on a cure so we are going after it. Think you. Can hold on for about a week?"

He tried to grin at me."This thing ain't taken me down. I'm just gonna relax here till you get back." I smiled a little. I kissed his cheek before heading out with the girls. We met Porlyusika at the train station.

"Here." She handed me a medium sized square bag. I opened it to show several glass jars. "Put the flowers in those. It will help preserve them and keep them from spilling. They simply have to drink as much of the nectar as they can. A small amount can save them but the more they drink the better they recover." We nodded before boarding the train, and setting off for a miracle.
