Hey. Thanks for reading my story. I try to make it the best I can be! Leave some reviews. I won't be updating till I get a total of five reviews. Thanks guys! Happy reading!
I walk up to the guild the next morning. I stand there and look at the doors. This is awkward. I'm going to go in there and look for Levy. I'm going to give her my book, the pictures, invitation, and my keys. I'm wearing my usual outfit. I touch the bruise on my cheek. I tried to cover it up, but it didn't work to well. I take a deep breath and walk through the doors. I quickly walk over to Levy so everyone doesn't stare at me. I sit down net to Levy.
"Lu-chan." She smiles.
"I have a couple of questions." I say.
"Okay."
"One." I hand her the wedding invitation. She looks at it with wide eyes.
"Lucy? Is this why you left?" I nod. "I'll come."
"Good. This isn't a question. But.." I slide my book over. "I finished the book." Levy opens it and looks at the pictures.
"I can't wait to read it." She smiles while closing it.
"Thirdly. The most important thing. Will you keep my keys for a while?"
"What?"
"My keys need to be somewhere safe for a week or so. Please?" I say.
"Of course."
"And fair warning, Loke and Virgo come out when they sense danger." I smile handing her the keys.
"I'll take good care of them."
"Thank you. I should get going. And by the way, you can bring one person with you to the wedding. Not Natsu, Grey, Happy, Erza, Carla, or Wendy. You should bring Gajeel."
"Stay a litte longer."
"What?"
"Stay for another hour. We miss you." Some people have noticed me sitting here. I might as well.
"Alright." I sigh. Levy smiles. "But I have to catch the ten o'clock train home."
"Okay. Let's go get something to drink." Levy stares at my cheek. I know she wants to ask, but she won't.
"Okay." We walk over to the bar and sit with Mira, and master.
"What would you guys like?"
"Water." We both say.
"So Lucy? What are you doing here?" Master asks.
"Came to visit Levy." I say. Makarov stares at my arm. He's staring at the bruise with wide eyes.
"Well I'm glad to see you." He says. I smile.
"Whens Natsu coming back?" Romeo runs up to Makarov asking.
"When he comes back."
"Is he on a job?" I ask.
"No. We just haven't seen him." Makarov says.
"Or Erza." Mira says.
"Or grey." Levy adds. I sigh. I bet Natsu is at my apartment. I stand up.
"I'll see you guys later."
"Where are you going?"
"To get Natsu." I say. I walk out the guild. The sun is shinning bright. I have one hour till the train leaves. I walk to my apartment. When I get to my door, I freeze. I hear all their voices. I should just turn around and leave. But I miss them. All of a sudden the room gets silent.
"What are you sniffing at?" Grey asks. I open my door. I take one step in before Natsu tackles me to the floor. I land between his legs as he hugs me from behind.
"Well, hi." I say.
"Lucy!" Erza comes to me.
"Natsu, you're crushing me." Natsu lets go and helps me up.
"Are you okay?" Natsu asks. I nod. Natsus eyes widen. "What the hell happened to your face?"
"Nothing."
"Lucy?" I look at Grey. Him and Erza notice my face and their mouths open in shock.
"What happened to your arm?" Erza asks.
"I fell down the stairs." Grey walks over to me and stands right in front of me.
"Bull crap. That's in the shape of a hand." He says.
"It's nothing guys. I came to find you." I look at Natsu.
"Why?" He asks.
"Romeos been wanting you to come back to the guild. I have a train to catch. I'll see you guys some other time." I turn to walk out the door. Natsu grabs my arm.
"Please don't leave." I say.
"I have to." I say. I walk out the door.
NATSUS POV
"What was up with the bruises?" Natsu asks out loud.
"I don't know, but someone is hurting her." Erza says.
"And she's letting them." Grey says.
"Let's go back to the guild." I say. They nod. When we get back to the guild master calls us to his office along with Levy.
"Yes master?" Erza asks.
"We have a problem." He says.
"What is it?" Grey asks.
"Did Lucy see you guys?" Master asks.
"Yes." We all reply.
"Did you see her bruises?" We all nod.
"Levy. What did she leave with you?" Master asks.
"Her keys." Levy holds Lucys keys up. "And a wedding invitation."
"For what?" Grey asks.
"Her wedding."
"She's getting married?" Erza asks.
"Its supposed to be an arranged marriage." Levy says.
"She will not marry someone else!" I yell in anger. I feel so hurt and betrayed. She was mine. She was supposed to be mine!
"Calm down. The only person we can ask for help is Loke." Master says.
"But he can't come out." Erza says.
"He will come out if he senses danger." Levy says.
"I can do that." Erza smirks. He turns and punches me in the face. She jumps on me and keeps punching me. Left, right, left, right. It hurts. My nose starts to bleed. A light appears.
"Stop!" Loke yells.
"About time." Erza stands up. "I didn't want to kill him."
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to get you to come out."
"Where's Lucy?"
"We don't know. She asked me to watch her keys. She invited me to a wedding as well. She had bruises on her, and she looked awful."
"God damnit!" Loke yells.
"What's going on?" Natsu asks.
"She's marrying this jerk that abuses her." Loke sits on a chair.
"How do we stop this?" Grey asks.
"I don't know where the house is." Loke says.
"How are we supposed to help her?" Erza asks.
"Let's all go to the wedding." I say.
"What?" Erza questions.
"If we all go to the wedding, we can do something then." I say.
"When's the wedding?" Master asks.
"Saturday."
"Then the whole guild will go." Master says. I don't know how we're going to do this. But we will stop this. Lucy will not marry him.
