Kidnapped and Fevered Dreams

Shouting and loud noises awoke Law from his peaceful slumber. He looked out the window to find that it was still dark outside. Getting to his feet, Law left his shoes in his room and stumbled through the halls, barefooted. His head was killing him. It pounded with sickness. He had been sick for a few days but he was almost all better. He just had to wait.

"Bepo? Bepo, what's with all the noise?" He received no answer from his navigator. The sound of a transponder snail going off brought Law to his office. He looked sleepily at the snail before picking up the speaker. "Hello?"

"Law! You're in danger!" It was Smoker. Law winced and pushed the snail backwards at the loudness of the man's voice.

"What do you mean? What's going on?" He heard a thud from down the hall. It worried him.

"Doflamingo has broken out of prison!" Fear quickly gripped Law as he heard those words. He...He's out?! Another thud, closer, made him look to the door. "Watch yourself, Law. He could be coming for you." The man hung up. Law slowly placed the speaker back on the snail as it went to sleep. He grabbed a smaller snail and slipped it in his pocket.

Shakily, Law made his way to the door and opened it. He saw no one from his crew in the hall. Cautiously, Law stepped into the hallway. He was careful as to not make too much noise on the floor. He checked on his crew to see if any were awake but found everyone in bed. All twenty were accounted for.

Getting back to his room, Law felt uneasy. It was as if there was something watching him. He didn't like it. He stopped short in the doorway. There was something off about the room. Taking a few steps inside, Law immediately regretted his choice. His arms were forced behind his back and he was pushed face-first into the bed.

"Bepo! Penguin! Help!" He struggled against the hold on his arms. He didn't get the chance to say anything more before his world turned black once more. He swore he saw the faint colour of light pink before his vision faded. Shit...

...

Jolting awake, Law felt the warmth of the sun on his face and the warmth of the sand underneath him. He groaned at the pain in his head. It hurts like hell. What happened last night? Did I drink too much with Shachi again? Turning on his side, then on his hands and knees, Law felt like shit. He was still trying to get over his sickness. It hurt to move too much.

"I see that you're awake." Law froze in his spot. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. It has to be an illusion. It can't be real. Slowly, Law lifted his head. He felt all hope leave him when he saw who was sitting on a rock near him.

Doflamingo sat there. He had his infamous pink coat on and his clothes he was taken down in. He seemed to have ditched the prison clothes. He was grinning at Law as he sat there on the rock. It was disturbing. Law disliked this situation.

"You're hard to find when you're underwater all the time." Law's eyes widened as he heard his words. Memories from the night before came rushing back to him. The uneasy feeling, the attack from behind, and the knock out.

"Y-You kidnapped me?!" Law was furious and afraid. He shakily rose to his feet. He started to back away from the man. "What do you want from me? Revenge? What did you do to my crew?" Law looked around himself and saw a forest to his left.

The man's grin turned to a frown. That made Law even more skittish of him. A frown was never a good sign. "I haven't done anything to your crew." He went quiet for a moment. That made Law feel a little better. "Revenge? You mean like killing you? Or torturing you?" Those words shot fear into his heart. Law didn't like that look or questions.

Law inched to the forest. "I...I don't know." He saw the man stand up and his fear increased. It was when he took a few steps toward him that Law took off on shaky legs into the forest. He heard the man start running behind him.

"Law! Where are you going?!" The sound of his voice was getting closer. He heard some trees fall as he continued to run. "I don't want to hurt you!" That statement almost made him stop in his tracks. He sounded sincere. Law shook his head. He didn't believe him. It was just a trap. That's all it was.

Getting to a waterfall, Law fell to his hands and knees. I...I can't...can't run any...anymore. Law was gasping for air at this point. He was so tired. He started to cough. It hurt his chest and he landed on his arms instead of his hands. He just wanted to sleep and catch his breath.

In his moment of resting, Law heard the footsteps behind him. His eyes widened as he coughed again. "Are you okay?" Law looked behind himself and saw the grin wasn't there. He looked concerned. It didn't set well with him at all.

Scrambling to his feet, Law started running again. He knew something bad would happen if he kept running but he continued on. He heard Doflamingo roar in what he guessed was probably anger, frustration, or both. He didn't stay to find out, though.

Getting to what looked like a village, Law noticed that it was abandoned. He could hear Doflamingo getting closer/ He ran into the first house he came to. He decided to hide under the bed. It wasn't the best place but it was something.

Holding his hand to his mouth to quiet his breathing, Law heard the man walking through the village. "Law, I didn't kidnap you to hurt you! I did it to spend some time with my little brother!" Law would've laughed if his situation would've been different.

Taking the chance, Law decided to made a room. He knew it was taxing on his body, but he had to get away. With the room set, he used it to switch himself with a rock that was a little ways away from the house he was in and into the forest. When he was finished, he didn't move at first. He stopped to catch his breath for a moment.

"Where are you?! This island isn't that big! I will find you eventually!" That fact put more fear into Law. He shakily got to his feet but almost fell over when he took a few steps. No good. I can't...run anymore. My...body won't let me.

As quietly as he could, Law started to walk back the way he had came. He passed by the waterfall again. He couldn't hear the other man following him so he guessed that it was a good sign. His vision started to blur when he came to a small cottage. He held his right side as he studied his finding. It was a small cottage that had flowers growing around the sides of it. To him, it looked more like a small hill than a house. There was grass on the roof of it and on the walls.

Getting closer to it, Law found that the entrance to the cottage was a small wooden door that was just his height, if a little shorter. He opened the door. Inside was cozy looking. There was one bed with a fireplace nearby that could be used for cooking, a small wooden dresser, and a small bathroom connected to the main room.

Sighing, Law decided that it was better than nothing. He stumbled over to the bed and collapsed as soon as his legs hit the side of it. He couldn't help it. He was scared out of his mind, recovering from a sickness, and he was soo tired. "Today can't get any fucking worse, can it?" he grumbled into the pillow. He was sore and out of energy. A short nap can't hurt, right? He closed his eyes and let the exhaustion take over his body and drag him into dreamland, unaware of the person staring through the window at him with a grin.

...

"Torao! Are you okay?" Luffy shouted at him as he swayed to and fro on his feet. The kid kept coming in and out of focus.

"Yeah. I...I think so." He grabbed onto the railing of the ship. Luffy wore a worried and scared expression as he stared past Law. The man slowly turned his head to see what the other was looking at.

His eyes widened at what he saw. Fear gripped him as he stood on the Sunny. Doflamingo was materializing out of a wave of ocean water. It was as if the water was spraying upward to keep him at deck level of the ship. He stared Law straight in the eyes. "Come back to me, Law." He grabbed onto Law's arm with an iron grip. "You only need me."

Law turned back to Luffy and reached out for him as he was being drug off the ship and towards the dark ocean. The teen's face was one of anger, fear, and sadness. "Luffy! Help me!" Law called to him as he got closer to the water. He watched as Luffy started to run at him.

Before he could get to him to help, Law was submerged into the water. Doflamingo disappeared and Law was all alone in the surrounding dark blue of the ocean. He started to flail about to get out of the water. Corazon appeared out of the water. He was smiling at him as he watch Law stop struggling. "Just let go. You'll be fine. I'm right here." Corazon reached a hand out to him. He was able to brush his fingers on Law's cheek.

Suddenly, he was surrounded by almost everyone he knew in a black space with a white spotlight on him. "Give us your heart, Law," they all said in unison. Fear gripped him as he stared at all the once friendly faces he used to know. They all advanced on him at the same time. "We want your heart!" they shouted as they started to claw at him.

"Get off me! I don't want to die!" He pushed and shoved at them. Luffy's once childish face was now twisted with a manic grin at him. Bepo was even scary to look at. He looked like a wild animal. Nami's pretty face was messed up with an evil grin as she clawed at his arm. He was pushed up by the others. "My heart is already taken! I can't give it to any of you!" Tears streamed down his face as he screamed at them. "Doffy! Help me!"

...

Law woke up screaming. He was afraid. He shot out of the bed and started to panic. The room was dark and he couldn't see anything at first. Something touched him and he screamed again. His nightmare was still playing before him. There were the same people from his dream surrounding him.

Making a mad dash for the door, Law threw it open and ran out into the warm night air. In his eyes, they were still following him, shouting for his heart. "Get away from me! I can't give you my heart! I gave it to someone else a long time ago!"

The man couldn't tell where he was going. He just ran as fast as he could. He could hear their footsteps clear as day behind him. He screamed again as he felt something touch his back. He was so afraid. He could feel the tears pouring down his face as he ran for his life.

"Doffy! Help me!" He shouted the first name that came to mind. He was starting to lose his energy as he continued to run. "Someone! Anyone! Help me! Get them away from me!"

Suddenly, Law collided with something hard. He fell to the ground on his ass. Taking a few breaths from running, Law looked up. He couldn't see their face but it wasn't any of the others that were chasing him. "Law, what's going on?" The voice sounded familiar. It also sounded worried and slightly angry. He couldn't place the name with the voice.

The footsteps were closing in. In a fit of panic, Law started to hyperventilate. "Please! Keep me safe! Don't let them take me!" He curled up on the ground at the feet of the other. "I don't have my heart. I...I gave it to someone else..." Law cried. He felt a hand touch his head. It was large and warm. The feeling was comforting from the earlier fear. "I gave it to..." He was picked up and held in strong arms. He was pressed into a warm chest. "Doffy..." With that, his vision left him and he was enveloped in dreamless sleep.

I hope you like the story so far. Please, tell me what you think if you want to. I hope you all have a great day. Tatty-bye!
