The Dragneel Children

{~} Demons Creeping In {~}

An odd tingling feeling surrounded the area, not only did the three wizards feel it, but the children who were two floors down felt it aswell. The strange magic power that sprang from Natsu sent shivers down Enenra's spin as he realized who the man was and what was happening. 

The green-haired man managed to keep his face calm but his hands tensed around the knife and Natsu stood in his place. "Try me Salamander, I won't hesitate to kill her." 

"Do you want to die?" But it wasn't Natsu who had growled out those words, no, something monstrous inside him caused the threat to roll off his tongue, his eyes now pooling with blood red. 

Enenra slowly loosened his grip on Lucy's hands and instantly the blonde went to grab her keys but a jolt of the knife was all it took for her to pause her motives. Both men glared at eachother but both did not say nor do a thing, both trying to figure out what to do. Finially, Enenra came to a conclusion and swiftly moved the knife away from the celestial wizard's neck.

"Go on  blondie." He said, oddly calm. The brown-eyed woman knew it was a trap, she still didn't know what this guy's magic was and what he was capable of. Lucy tried to bolt to the safety of her husband but was met with a burning sensation in her knee causing her to drop to the floor.

Lucy screamed as she looked at her leg, only to see the knife that was once against her neck now sticking out of the creamy flesh of her knee. Enenra chuckled slightly but stopped when Natsu sent a flaming punch to his head. "You think that's funny?" Natsu yelled, now back to his normal voice. Enenra chuckled once again and pointed to the blond a purple-like gas forming at his fingertips and to Lucy's shaking body.

"Go on Salamander, you can save you little wifie or use the beast inside you to kill me." The pinkette was confused by Enenra's choice of words, 'beast?', but when he heard the sounds of Lucy violently coughing he rushed to get to her. 

Enenra had bolted while Natsu remained distracted, quickly pulling out the lacrama he had on him. "Boss! The fairies in the building, two of 'em are E.N.D and his wife." The green-haired man said quickly while turning the corner. A few cusses were heard on the other line before Ketsu spoke in his angry voice. "Did he show any signs of the demon?" 

Enenra muttered a 'no' before correcting himself. "Well, his voice did change and his eyes went red like yours for a couple of moments. Now that I think about it the daughter's eyes went red back in the cellar but she didn't do anything violent, just wrote some childish words on my forehead."

Silence came to the other end but Ketsu let out a growl. "Do you know why these kids are suddenly acting like demons?" Enenra muttered a no. "It's the enhancers you idiot! Even from far away they are affecting the body with the most magic power and at this moment it's the Drangeels. They are effecting there inner demons so would show-"

"More easily." Enenra finished. Something as simple as a threat to his wife could cause some of his inner demon to show. In al honesty, he was scared of what would have happened if he actually did kill her. "Don't worry boss, me and Kanashi  got the gate covered." He reassured quickly and made his way to the Eclipse Gate.

Lucy coughed rapidly, the gas creating a searing feeling in her chest, her eyes now red. Natsu tried to run for his wife but the moment his leg tried to go through the thick purple infected air his limb felt numb, he couldn't wiggle his toes. "Hang on Luce!" Natsu shouted and tried to walk on but by this point both his legs were paralyzed. 

The blonde continued to cough, her body feeling numb and cold. Her brown eyes caught a glimpse of the golden key that was peeking out from her cloak, shuffled around when she fell to the ground. An idea sparked in the blondes head and she began coughing harder purposefully, the jolt from her coughs allowing her body to move closer to the key.
