Chapter 2! Enjoy! :3
The hope of getting off the island faded. When I woke up, it was still pouring, and the thunderclaps sounded loud, like a cannon firing off. I looked over at Happy, just waking up, his eyes drowsy and disappointed, and then at Natsu, who was surprisingly still asleep. I wondered about the guild, and if people were worried that we didn't come back yesterday. I could imagine Levi's worried face and Erza's too. But then again, there are people like Gajeel and Laxus, not giving a crap if we come back or not. I got interrupted from my thoughts from a voice to my left.
"Lucy?"
I looked over to see a now just woken Natsu, and I just had to admire the cute tired look on his face. "Yeah Natsu?"
"Nothin. You just kinda looked… Distanced. That's all…" he said, looking at me.
"Aye…" agreed Happy, also looking over.
"I-I'm fine." I stammered out, looking away from their sight. To be honest though, I'm not fine. I'm scared. And I don't want to get lost on this dreaded place. Not here, not ever. But whatever I was thinking, I just turned my face away and tried to hide my feelings, lock them away so that Natsu and Happy won't see, even though I was already failing at that.
As rain pounded on the roof, you could of course hear the growl of Natsu's empty stomach. Happy and I sighed. But right as we sighed, our stomachs growled too. We all had to jump back to the reality that we hadn't eaten since about yesterday afternoon, when we first got stranded on this cold, dark, wet island. As hungry as we were, however, we did not want to risk our lives at the moment, so we decided that heading out later would be better, so for now, we had to just sit and wait.
It seemed like it took almost a year to ever get through two hours. I don't know what is driving me insane more, our vicious, growling stomachs, or the fact that the rain is still pounding on the roof of the only shelter we could find, the abandoned lighthouse that we've been in for a day and a half. Either one it was, it was doing a pretty good job. Through all of the noise, however, a door clang was heard. Someone, or rather something, just burst in from the outside. Natsu jumped up to protect me and Happy, but when I looked around him I saw a manly figure limp in. It was definitely a person, but when a tiny bit of lightning shot behind the figure, I saw the blue hair, and a person with no shirt on. I knew who it was in an instant.
"Gray!" I gasped out and ran to his side, as his limp gave in and he fell to the floor. He was in really bad shape, scratches and bruises all over him.
"Nice to know I'm not the only one on this island." He panted out. "Natsu, Lucy, Happy. For once it's good to see some familiar faces…"
Hah... I know this is kinda short... But I wanted to get Gray into it. More will happen next, plus, the creatures on the island, what are they? Find out next chapter!
