Natsu's presence filled the room. "What the Frick-Frack do ya want?" I asked rolling over and smushing my pillow in my face. "LUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCY!" I groaned and shoved my face further into the pillow sandwich banging my head against the headboard. "OWWWWW!" I screamed, shooting up and rubbing my sore head. I leaned back hoping to flop onto the soft bed sheets, but my head landed on a surface much more pleasurable.
"You want me to kiss it?" His black eyes met mine, their total beauty dazing me out of anger. "uh-huh" I said quietly, face contorting into a puppy dog expression. He bent down and kissed the top of my head, then started kissing down,down,down on my nose, my cupids bow. Then he hesitated, lips centimeters from mine. "WAKE THE FUCK UP 42937192!" My eyes burst open, "NATSUUUUU!" I screamed as a rush of cold water smacked my face. "GET OUT OF THE BED INTO THE MINES!" Comander Gajeel's hot breath blew in my face.
I fell out of bed, limbs bone thin and some broken, barely holding me up. I scrambled to the mines, pulling off the grungy orange jumpsuit standing only in my bra. The mines are suffocating enough, clothes just made it worse.
"Levvy!" I called making my way to the mine shaft elevator. "Lucy hey!" She waved from the elevator. "Hey!" I said "Sooooo what tunnel are you in?" She asked "SHIT! I forgot to check the board!" I hit the heavy metal elevator shaking my fist at the hard impact. "it's alright, You're tunnel C with me."Juvia's voice, hot and raspy came from the far corner. She too had lost her love, Grey, and had become a recluse. "Juvia! Hey you should've said something!" Juvia was dressed like me, but modest levy kept her suit on and nearly dies everyday from it, too.
"Juv's you want some water, sounds like you need some." I asked. she nodded and I pulled my only celestial key left out from my bra. "Calling Leo, Gate of the Lion!" He appeared instantly, dashing as ever. "Sup my love?" He asked bending down and kissing my greasy head. His glasses flashed and I knew where he was looking. "Leo keep your Frick-Fracking eyes where they should be or I'll send you back!" I shouted, he squeezed his eyes shut. He crossed his arms above his ginger head, standing cool, relaxed. "How come you haven't called me recently,Luc?" he asked. There was silence in the elevator
Leo's key was the only one I'd been able to hide when they'd taken our magic items when they first brought me to the wizard concentration. The mines were made to deteriorate our magic energy to where here is none left and we can live in a mortal, equal world. At least that's what they advertised. They kill most of us here, only the "pretty" ones make it out alive. They die in a few weeks anyway there isn't really a point.
"No reason." I said as relaxed as I could manage"can you go get us some water, we're dying of thirst. Which was true, they never give us water, that's only for special occasions. he nodded, kissed the tip of my nose and materialized to get us water. "Why not ask him to break us out of here?" levy whispered her suggestion, scared of being heard by Commander Gajeel. Her eyes pleaded with me. "I thin-" Juvia was cut off by the screeches "WATTA! WATTA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I heard you ladys needed, water." Leo materialized holding bottles of water. We snatched them and drank greedily, letting the cool liquid quench or thirst and lubricate our windpipes. We all sighed when it was gone, bottles empty to the last drop.
"How come you don't have any of your other keys?" Leo asked suddenly, interrupting the sighs of appreciation to the water. "You heard?" I asked, shocked that my most trusted spirit was eavesdropping. " I heard, after I noticed the conditions and how Levy's dressed, well all of you are dressed. It's time to leave here. Now." "NOOOO!" I screamed. I covered my mouth with my hands. Tears filled my eyes. "Not without him. Not without Natsu." I whispered. Leo must have left. I couldn't tell I was sobbing huddled on the floor. To embarrassed to talk with Levy or Juvia.
The rest of the day was filled with sweat, coal dust, and complete, utter darkness. We left the shafts at eleven and when I got back to my cell, I tore my pant leg off and took out a fresh piece of coal from the mines
Dear Natsu,
If your reading this, I love you. I always have, always will
3 Lucy
I then took the coal and carved deep slits on both arms from my wrists to my elbows (horizontally). I saw the flash of pink hair and the cell door broke open. He was holding my hand, keeping me from continuing to cut. He stroked my hair with the other hand kissed my head and face, while murmuring "It's okay Lucy, I'm here now. It's all okay. We'll be out of here soon, Lucy, I promise. I love you, I love you. I missed you so much, but we'll all be okay now. Everything, will be perfect for us."
