On Tenroujima
The princess paced around the campsite. "Princess, please, stop worrying about the others at the capitol. I'm sure they will be all right." A small blue haired girl said reassuringly. "Yes, you mustn't worry about them, stress is bad for someone your age. Have some strawberry cake, it will help." A red haired woman said, handing her a piece of cake. "That's alright Erza, I don't want any cake. Thank you for trying to help, but I just can't stop thinking about what might happen to them. The demons might have already killed everyone for all we know." The princess said, tears forming in her eyes. "I'm sure they'll be alright," Charla said. "Yeah," a black haired shirtless man said, " I'm sure they're fine, the demons probably won't kill them unless they've captured everyone. Once they do they'll probably kill everyone mercilessly for hiding you." Lucy sat down and started crying. "Gray!" Erza yelled, "You're not making it any better!" "Yes!" Charla exclaimed, "you've only made it worse!" Wendy put her hand on Lucy's shoulder. "Don't listen to Gray, Lucy-sama. He's scared too, he's just trying to be brave." "WHAT?! I am not!" Gray shouted. Erza suddenly glared at Gray. Gray shrieked and hid behind a tree. "You're right," Lucy said wiping her tears, "I've got to stay strong, not just for myself, but for everyone!" Erza, Wendy, and Charla smiled at her. Gray also smiled form behind the tree. "Well, I'm going to explore the island," Lucy said. "Wait," said Erza, "take one of us with you." "That's ok, I'll be fine on my own," Lucy said while walking into the jungle." "Come on guys," Charla said, "She's Lucy, what trouble could she get into?" They all looked at each other. "LUCY!" They yelled in unison running after her.
"Hm, I wonder if I can see the campsite from up here?" Lucy said to herself. She had walked far from their camp and now she was lost. She had found a cliff and was now looking over the edge to see if she could find the camp. "I can't see it from this far back, I'll have to move forward." She walked down to the very edge of the cliff. "Dang it, I can't see the camp from here, it's covered by the trees. But- wow, look at that view." As Lucy admired the view before her she suddenly heard a crack below her. The rock had given way and now she was plummeting to her doom. She screamed and closed her eyes. /This is the end for me/ She thought. /Erza, I should've listened to you!/ As she was preparing for her death, she suddenly felt something warm catch here in midair. She opened us her eyes and saw a boy, not much older than herself, with salmon pink hair and dark brown eyes holding her. He put her down on the ground and with a big push, he jumped into the trees and was gone. Lucy was in total shock. /There wasn't supposed to be someone here on the island was there?/ She thought. /Even so, I have to keep this a secret from the others, if they found out they'd snap./ Lucy pushed away a large leaf and found she was back at the campsite. /That boy must have known where the campsite was and dropped me close to it./ "LUCY!" Everyone said. Wendy ran to hug her. "Ah, Wendy, not so tight," Lucy said smiling. Wendy let go of her. "You're ok!" Wendy said tears streaming from her eyes. "We're glad you're alright." Erza said, walking towards her. "Yeah, when we heard someone scream we thought it was you." Gray said as he walked towards Lucy. "You nearly gave us all heart attacks!" Charla exclaimed. "But we're glad you're alright." "Thanks guys. I really didn't realize that my scream was that loud." "EH?!" Everyone said. "So that really was your scream?!" Wendy asked. "Yes, who else is here on the island except us?" Lucy replied. /I can't tell them about that boy./ "Now that you mention it, where did all this dirt come from?" Erza said pointing at all the dirt Lucy was covered with. "Well it's a jungle, Erza, I'm gonna get dirty." She wanted to avoid the topic about her falling of a cliff and finding that boy. "Come to think of it, why did you scream, Lucy?" Gray asked. Everyone looked at her. "Oh, well, you see... Uh... I tripped on a root and rolled down a hill." She said nervously while rubbing the back of her head. "YOU WHAT?!" They said in unison. "Are you hurt anywhere?" "Where did you fall?" "Do you need me to heal you?" "How about I avenge you and destroy that root and cliff for you?" "No, no guys that's ok," Lucy said as she was bombarded with questions. She sat down on a log. /I wonder who that boy was? And why is he here on the island? Maybe he's escaping from the demons too?/ "Well guys, it's getting late, I'm going to head to bed." Lucy said. "Already? But you haven't eaten yet." Erza said. "It's fine, I'm not really hungry anyway." "Are you sure you're alright Lucy?" Wendy asked, "It's not like you to have a low appetite or skip a meal." "Yeah Lucy, you're going to regret it in the morning," Gray said. "It's alright, thanks for worrying about me though." Lucy went into her tent and went straight into her sleeping bag. All through the night she couldn't stop thinking about that boy. Which proved to be bad since she got almost no sleep and since she had missed dinner she was starving! So, after waking up, she went outside to see what was for breakfast. Except, no one was there.
