The Power of Emotion**On Hold**

He's Back

The next morning Lucy's mood has brightened, She took care of her needs first then woke Bre. She brushed out her long brown hair and got her an outfit. "Thanks Lucy" Bre said smiling as she ate her breakfast after this they would go visit her moms grave as usual.

Bre loved to talk to her mom before starting the day so Lucy gladly took her. Walking at the door Lucy had an eerie feeling but brushed it off. But she did squeeze Bre's hand a little tighter.

In the distance Usani was keeping a watchful eyes on the Bracelet holder. "Just a few more minutes till I get the bracelet" He continued watching but spotted a child that had her hand intertwined with Lucy's. He could've sworn he has seen this girl before. Oh! Thats right he thought She was the one being protected by Miss Heartfilia. Ah I see perfect.. Usani aimed his wrist toward Bre locking on the shooting tar lances toward Bre.

"Bre look out!" Lucy shouted jumping in front her, Lances hit her pain shot through every fiber of her body. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Bre helped her back up the lances shimmering then disappearing. "Are you okay Lucy?" Bre asked Lucy kneeled down to her level. "Summon Elijah too keep you company run to the guild okay? You should be safe there" She paused for a moment spotting Usani on a roof. "Change of plans Go get Natsu now." Bre nodded summoning Elijah they grabbed each others hands. "Be careful please Lucy" Bre said Lucy shooed them off pulling out Taurus's key. "I summon thee: Taurus!" ___________________________________

"How far away is the guild Bre?" Elijah asks Bre was still trying to catch her breathe from running so much the Guild was another 10 minutes away she couldn't run this much longer.

Elijah looked at her with concern. "Get on my back"

"What? No way thats gross!" She spatted he just shook his head and picked her up "Hey let me go Elijah!" Elijah just giggled completely ignoring her and took off running once again. __________________________________________________________________________

Lucy was on her knee's now her Magic running dangerously low. Taurus was defeated and the only spirit she could think of was Loke but that would almost completely drain her. She got up on one knee but Usani came close to her kicking her in the stomach making her fall and cough. The cough was laced with blood. "Giving up so soon?" He looked down at her with false pity she spat on his shoes making him shake his head. "You could've just gave me the bracelet and all this would not have to happen" Lucy kept hold of the wrist that her bracelet was on holding it close to her chest. "But you don't want to take it off because you know it will cost you your life.." Lucy's eyes widened she didn't know that he had that information it only made him 10x scarier. Not knowing what to do she pulled out Loke's key the man just chuckled lifting her by her neck.

"Just give me the bracelet dear.."

"I summon thee: Loke!" Usani dropped her and kicked her to the side Lucy fought to stay conscious so Loke could fight. Loke ran up to Usani light in his hand

"Regulus Punch!" The punch sent Usani flying into a nearby wall making civilians scatter like ants.

Usani recovered quickly "Forbidden spell: Viga Oscura!" An electric current came rushing at Loke making him howl in pain another one came straight for Lucy. Hitting her, she fell unconscious Loke disappearing too. "Ah finally she decided to give up.." He walked up to her shaking her with his foot making sure she wasn't still conscious. He slipped the bracelet off of her tucking it in his coat. ________________________________________________________

"Natsu c'mon we hafta hurry!" Bre yelled dragging him by the arm. Elijah was sent back to the Spirit world while Natsu and Bre were running to the place Lucy was at. "Where are we going?" Natsu exclaimed stopping in his tracks. Bre sweat dropped knowing Natsu was stubborn: Or at least thats what Lucy told her. "Natsu please! Lucy's in trouble and we gotta help her!" Natsu's eyes widened, Bre grabbed his wrist running again they stopped when they saw Loke he was on his knees looking over at a blonde haired mage.

"Loke! What happened?" Loke had a death grip on Lucy's hand Natsu noticed that she was unconscious "How are you here?" Loke turned around tears in his eyes. It surprised Natsu he had never seen Loke cry before. Bre was already running over to Lucy holding her other hand. Natsu noticed the bracelet was not on her hand. "I used my own power to get here" Loke replied "I was about to take her to the Guild but you two already showed up"

His breathe hitched as he continued "Usani he came he attacked her I tried to help but he used lost magic it shocked both of us. He took the bracelet Natsu.. I can feel all her magic energy being sucked out of her and I can't do anything about it!" Loke was full on crying now Natsu just sunk to his knees staring at Lucy.

Lucy had bruises everywhere she was pale and cool to the touch. Blood dripped down the side of her face some already crusted over. Some of her hair was stuck to her face from tears. "Dammit! When I get my hands on Usani I'm gonna burn him to ash!" Natsu yelled he picked up Lucy bridal style. Bre was on Loke's back attempting to contain her sobs. Loke could hear her whispering to herself something about Elijah. They were now running as Lucy's condition got worse eventually making it too the Guild Natsu yelled for Wendy.

"Natsu what- Oh my gosh Lucy! Ah get her to the infirmary!" They all rushed in there setting Lucy down Wendy began trying to heal her. When she tried something shocked her she yelped and sunk to the floor.

"Child are you alright?" Carla asked Wendy nodded and rubbed her hands "I can't heal her.. Somethings really wrong!"
