I'm finally updating! Yay! *mini party!*
Loke POV
That smell...I know that smell. I opened my eyes and looked around the room. Natsu and Lucus were out of bed. Then I heard noises from the bathroom. One a bit too girly for my liking.
"Natsu, I appreciate the help, but I don't think it'll work."
"Trust me, deepen your voice, keep your hair up and no one will suspect a thing!"
I heard them coming out so I closed my eyes again so they didn't know I was up. I saw them come out and head out of the cabin. Once the left, I jumped out of bed and got ready. Then I went out for breakfast.
Gray POV
When I woke up , everyone had left already. Damn it! I thought. Why am I always last one up!
Anyway, I got ready and went to breakfast.
"Hey there ice princess! You sure are great at hibernation!" Natsu yelled across the room. Lucus giggled and I stormed over to Natsu.
"What did you say dragon breath?" I said raising my voice.
"Nothing just that you sure do eat like a pig and then fall asleep like forever." Natsu teased.
"Talk about eating like a pig, look at yourself!" I yelled back.
"Talk isn't MANLY! Neither is fighting! Both of you shut up!" Elfman yelled from between them.
Natsu and I split up but we made faces a each other for the rest of breakfast.
Lucy POV
"Hiking?!" I asked Natsu when we were alone.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Natsu asked.
"Everything! I'm not good at it and I'm not strong enough to hike for," I stopped to look at the schedule to see how long, "2 HOURS!" I yelled.
"Calm down Luce, no biggy just try your best 'k?"
I sighed.
*an hour later*
"Get your stuff together, we're heading off!" Natsu said.
I groaned but still grabbed my backpack (that Natsu gave me) and it was filled with all the things I'd need. Then we went off with the rest of the group.
"Hi, my name is Geoffrey Frendericks and I'm your nature guide!" he said a little too over enthusiasm.
Hiking was hard work and finally after a hour or so we got to a resting spot.
"Finally! A resting spot!" I said and sat down on the bench.
"Really. I find it not that bad. But then again, not all of us have something weighing us down to prevent us." Loke said sitting down next to me. Did he know? What did he mean? He must think I'm hiding something, which actually I am but yeah.
I didn't know what to say, so I nervously played with my thumbs and glanced around the group to find Natsu. I finally locked eyes with Natsu and he looked at my situation.
Natsu, being the stupid self he was, did the first thing he could think of.
"Hey Gray! Punch buggy!" Natsu said and punched Gray to bump into Loke.
"What the?! Natsu you idiot! Can't you not do something stupid for one second?!" Gray asked angrily as he stomped over to the pink haired teen.
This distracted Loke and made him walk away from me. Later, Natsu came over to me.
I jabbed him with my elbow, "Natsu! Couldn't you just of come over to help me instead?!"
Natsu sighed, "But where's the fun in that?"
I rolled my eyes, "Think sometimes."
"I do." Natsu said crossing his arms in a childish matter.
"Alright group! We're starting again! Get up and let's get going back down if we want to make it for lunch!" that Geoffrey guy said.
We all started again on this crazy long hike.
Once the we got back down the mountain and we headed to our cabin until lunch in 10 minutes.
Loke has been watching me ever since this morning. It's a little creepy...like he knows something...
Natsu and Gray have been arguing for as long as I can think. Ever since we started heading down from the hike and they are nonstop. So getting Natsu's attention in case of Loke getting too close was a big no.
"Quit it you two. That's enough fighting for one afternoon." Jellel said from his bunk.
Natsu lowered his fist, "Alright then, but I want a rematch later."
"Same to you." Gray said back. The two boys finally split up.
I jumped when I heard Loke call me out, "So...Lucus, right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Where are you from?" Loke asked.
Damn! he's gonna ask me a load of questions he knows I can't answer without a little struggle!
"I'm...from...um, I live over in Hargeon sorta..." I said. It was the first thing I could think of besides Magnolia.
"Oh really...I heard that's where Natsu met so named Lucy. Have you, by any chance, met her?" he asked.
"No. I...I haven't." I said a little bit too quickly. this is getting a bit too close.
He looked at me as if he knew my real name and everything...
"How long have you known Natsu? Since you were kids? Or more recent?" he asked forcefully.
I bit my lip. This was a bit tough...
"I guess since..." I started.
"I've known him since I was...11?" Natsu said more of a question than a statement, "I met him on one of my outings to find Igneel."
"Oh, ok then." Loke said and turned away from us.
Natsu and I exchanged glances when one of the camp guides came over to tell us it was time for lunch.
Yes, sorry I've been gone for so long...I have been having bad writer's block and also I've been mainly focusing on my other story The Lies I Hide for a while. Hope you guys like this! R&R!
