The two guards opened the door to my cell and threw me in. I hit the ground with a loud thump and heard them slam the door shut behind me. I was so weak and tired so I just laid there. Willing myself to stay awake for as long as possible. My gut was telling me that someone was coming, and it is usually right but it has been telling me that for a while now so part of me thinks that it is wrong this time. My cell was cold and pitch black. The cold has never bothered me but the dark, lonely feeling does. There were no windows so the only light was the little bit that seeped through the cracks on my rusty, old cell door.I heard the guards talking outside and knew it was important. With a lot of effort I moved myself closer to the door. Every muscle in my body hurt and burned with protest but this was important so I ignored it. Eventually I got there and leaned against the door, panting hard and listened to what they were saying.
"How long are we even keeping this girl?" Said one of them.
"Until she dies." Replied his comrade.
"Don't you think that is a bit extreme?"
"No. It is all to resurrect Zeref. We need a lot of magic energy that is why we keep taking it from her."
"But she is really weak, why do we need her dead."
"The plan is pretty complicated but I know that all the magic energy we have collected from her is useless until she dies and we can use her body as a sacrifice to Zeref."
"That's disgusting."
"I forget you are new to this guild." He paused for a moment. "All that magically energy only responds to her and her cells, so when we sacrifice her Zeref will remould her into his true form then because his body will be made of her cells her magic energy will respond to him. He will them absorb it and that will hopefully be enough to bring him back."
"That is so cool." The other one laughed.
"Yeah, it is. Just wait until Zeref is back. Then you will see true power. Zeref will destroy the magic council and take over the world. Not to mention that we will all be rewarded greatly for our help."
"So why don't we just kill her now?"
"The more magic energy we are able to collect from her the better. We nearly have enough like Hamish said but not quiet enough."
"Who is she?" The other one laughed loudly again.
"That is the lady of Dragon slayers herself. The most powerful dragon slayer to have ever lived."
"So what can she actually do?"
"That is a good question. No one but Hamish knows, though he won't tell us. We simple know that when she is healthily she is incredible powerful."
"I guess it is a good thing she is really weak then huh?"
"Yes. Her parents used to be part of black viper you know?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, before it went all evil. Her parents were both dragon slayers too, and rumour has it that her grandparents were also both dragon slayers."
"So that is why she is so powerful."
"Yep but..." He was cut off by what sounded like a huge explosion in the distance.
"What was that?" The new guild mate asked.
"Probably just the guys above fighting again."
"We should go check they are okay."
"No." The older one shouted. "We must stay here by our posts because if it is an attack they might have come for her so we have to guards her or the plan will go to waste." There was another explosion that sounded closer than the last.
"It is getting closer." Said the younger one.
"Yes, but what ever it may be we must stand our ground." I smiled to myself. I knew exactly what it was, more importantly who it was. Macarov. He finally found me. I knew we would. This was it, I was going to be free, there plan had failed because Macarov will not stop until I am safe from them. My gut was right he was coming for me...
