Chapter 2
"Lucy!" I heard Natsu yelled as we were falling. "Happys going to grab you!"
My body jolted to a stop as Happy was holding me. "Happy!"
"Jeez, you must weigh a ton!" Happy said trying to stay in the air.
"Don't make fun of my weight, you dumb cat!" I yelled. "We have to catch up to Natsu!" When we landed on the ground, Natsu was face down in the dirt.
I looked around. It was like we were standing on a gold cloud. There was a castle in the distance and a town which looked like it was 2 miles away.
"Natsu! Are you alright?" Happy asked, pucking Natsu's head up by his pink hair.
"Just give me a minute," he replied.
"Don't tell me. He even got sick from falling," I slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand.
"Aye! He gets sick over almost any motion his body makes."
"That's sad."
"I think I'm alright now," Natsu said getting up off the ground. He fixed his scarf, scratched his head and said, "Are we in the right place?"
"Yes, we are in the celestial spirit world," I said. I wonder where Loke is. I figured he would have met us here. "There's a town. Maybe we can go ask the spirits there what's going on."
We walked for what seemed to be forever! And my feet really hurt!
"The towns empty."
"Way to state the obvious, Happy," I said. It was eerie how the town was so quiet.
"Maybe theres a curfew," Natsu said.
"It's about noon," I replied. This is weird. I was at least expecting Loke.
"Maybe time is different in the celestial spirit world. I mean, it's basically another dimension and," He stated"
"Shhh!" I cut him off from the rest of his sentence. What's that sound?
"Jeez! I was just trying to."
"Shhh!" It was something loud. Like footsteps coming toward us. Many footsteps. I looked farther down what seemed to be the main road of the town and saw soldiers rushing at us.
"Run!" Happy yelled. We all turned and ran as fast as we could. As if my feet didn't hurt enough! We ran until we became surrounded by soldiers coming from different directions. Some ran out of buildings and cornered us.
"Intruders! You are under arrest for intruding on King Opel's land!"
"But this world belongs to all the celestial spirits!" I said.
"Silence!" One of the soldiers yelled.
"We're Fairy Tail wizards! You don't want to mess with us!"
"Just calm down, Natsu. I have an idea. This is how we will get close to the king, and find out what's going on," I whispered.
"Fine!" He said as 4 of the soldiers grabbed us. We were put in the back of a covered wagon pulled by horses.
"Lucy. What do we do now?" Happy asked.
"We wait. We are being taken right to the kingdom. That's where the king is, and our answers." We arrived to the kingdom and led down a small, wet, cold, creepy tunnel. We entered a bigger room and were put into a cell. It was clear we were in some sort of dungeon. The soldiers left and Happy asked if we were okay.
"Yeah, we're good," Natsu replied.
I heard a clang in the cell next to us and someone said, "Lucy. Is that you?"
