"Luuuucyy!" I hear Natsu call after me. My head was spinning after being woken up from my nap.
"Mm what is it Natsu?" I asked, he held out a paper waiting for me to read it. I rubbed sleep out of my eyes trying to get them to focus on the writing.
I reread the paper trying to make some sense out of what exactly the job is.
The Eye of the Mummy
Reward: 140,000 jewels
For serious problem solvers ONLY please reach me, Daniel Munel, at the contact info below.
There was no description of what exactly the job was…The Eye of the Mummy? What kind of job title IS that!? "Natsu are you sure this isn't some kind of prank?" The pink haired guy looked over at me and shook his head.
"Mira said that it appeared this morning, she can't remember exactly who came in, but she said it was in the records and everything." Natsu answered "So what do you say!?"
I smiled at his enthusiasm and sighed in defeat "okay fine, when do we leave?"
He smiled his toothy grin "Today."
As happy as he appeared to be I couldn't shake off this bad feeling. Maybe it's the fact that tomorrow I'll be confessing my true feelings towards him.
YEAH! That's got to be it… I reassured myself as I headed towards the bathroom to get ready.
It's just my nerves…this time tomorrow Natsu will know my true feelings for him.
It was hot and tiring walking around in the desert of Kiru. After walking what felt like hours I called my Horologium Spirit to help me with this extremely long adventure.
"If you were just going to spend all your time in that clock of yours why even bother coming along?" Natsu complained looking towards me annoyed.
For those of you who don't already know about my Horologium spirit, he's a clock, who I always call to carry me inside him whenever I can't stand the current conditions outside. While I'm inside, others cannot hear me therefore the clock speaks everything I say out loud.
"If I recalled correctly it was YOU who woke ME up from my nap to go on this mission in the first place!' she says." The clock tells Natsu and Happy. "And besides," the clock continued for me "it's really hot out there!' she says."
The pink haired salamander rolled his eyes at my comment and answered back
"Well, what about me and Happy? You don't think we're tired and hot? I said." He mocked the clock. I stayed quiet not even going to bother to mention his motion sickness. I sighed and we just continued on. I felt so relax and cool inside here I started falling asleep and barely heard a beeping noise.
Oh no! My time can't be up already!
"I'm afraid my time is up, until next time..." the clock's voice slowly fainted away. I fell on the scorching sand and groaned in pain. I could feel a trickle of sand go inside my pants and shirt.
"You could have at least given me a two minute warning, or something!" I shrieked, as I tried shaking the sand off of me. I hear Natsu call my name and suddenly get cut off. I looked up to see him and Happy with blown up cheeks and then they burst into laughter.
"Lucy…you looked…so…fun…funny…" he exclaimed in between laughs. That's when Happy decided to open his big mouth too,
"Yeah Lucy," the blue exceed chuckled and then composed himself a little better "this is no time for your horrible dancing techniques, yeesh, can't you take this mission more seriously?" I could feel my whole body heat up with rage as I yelled,
"Oh, and like you're the one to talk, you two are always so childish!" I crossed my arms and continued walking "and don't think I forgot what you DID this morning you stupid cat!" I fumed. Just the thought of Happy showing all those people my house for them to see me and Natsu asleep on the bed made me blush and get so upset. How am I going to face everyone when we get back? I continued pondering on my thoughts when I heard Natsu and Happy call my name again.
Hmh! They better are calling me to apologize!
"Yes?" I called back feeling pretty smug.
"You're going the wrong way!" Natsu yelled, leaving me dumbstruck. I looked over to see that there was a long distance between us. My eyes felt like they were bulging out of their sockets and I could feel a sweat drop at the corner of my head.
How did I get so far!? Why didn't they tell me sooner?!
"efbeyhdeydSOFARueygdgebcdHOWdhyeerhe" I mumbled nonsense and suddenly started to feel so dizzy. I could hear Natsu and Happy call my name…each time dimmer than the last. My legs gave out on me and my body collapsed. Before I even reached the ground everything went black…
Natsu…
I could feel something soft and wet on my forehead, like a cloth, and hear a distant voice, barely recognizable but full of anticipation.
"We were too far from home, so I decided to bring her here as quickly as possible. You said she'd be okay right?" the voice asked. I hear footsteps walk close towards me followed by a deep gentle voice.
"I see, well, she should be ready to wake up soon enough." The gentle voice assured.
I wanted so badly to open my eyes but they felt so heavy…
C'mon open up! Why can't I wake up!?
"So, Natsu is it?" the voice questioned, "Tell me, what you and your friend are doing this far out in the desert of Kiru, if you don't mind my asking of course." I could hear the concern in his voice…along with something I couldn't exactly make out. And by the tone of Natsu's voice when he speaks again I could tell he sensed it too.
"We're on a job." Natsu said with what sounded like a threatening tone. The guy took a hint and quietly respected Natsu's wishes and let it go.
"She really is a pretty girl, I bet guys go crazy over her all the time back at home huh?" the voice asked.
"Are you trying to hit on her or something!?" Natsu growled. The sharpn tone in his voice startled me. I could feel tension rise in the room when the voice chuckled breaking the silence quickly responded,
"No not at all! I was simply saying you are one lucky guy to have such a beautiful girl like that in your arms." The voice answered. There it was again…a hint of something weird in his voice. There was still a bit of tension in the room,
"Her…" Natsu simply stated. In that one word I felt a million of things, admiration, happiness, and I don't know if it was just me but I could have sworn love too…
The guy sounded confused by Natsu's comment. "I beg your pardon?"
"Lucy is a person…NOT a THAT… a HER." Natsu sounded annoyed and frustrated and I'm assuming the guy noticed his mistake,
"You're right. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. You are one lucky guy to have such a beautiful girl like her," he corrected himself. "I see she's also very lucky to have such a…respectful man like you."
And with that the tension died down completely
"Yeah, she really is amazing." I could almost hear the smile when he said that!
What does this mean!? Oh my gosh, does this mean he- no. don't get ahead of yourself Lucy…don't get your hopes up.
But still, I was astounded by the admiration in his voice when he talked about me…it made me so...happy!
"But she can be pretty weird at times too." He added
WEIRD!? Okay, I think I heard enough. Damn, he couldn't stop talking at me being amazing? T-T *sigh* oh well.
I sighed and started to move my hand…
"Lucy!" I heard Happy and Natsu shout with excitement. My heart fluttered when I felt a soft and warm hand take a hold of mine.
"Natsu?" I opened my eyes, blurry images coming forth. My eyes came in contact with soft blue ones.
Since when did Natsu…
I jumped up at the sight of this complete handsome stranger. Where's Natsu?
"Kya! You're not Natsu!" I screeched, I grabbed the quickest thing next to me and whacked him across the face with it. As soon as he fell to the ground KO'd I saw a fluff of pink hair suddenly towards me and tackle me on the…bed?
"Lucy! You finally woke up!" Natsu whispered in my ear sending shivers through my spine. He had a strong grip around my waist making my stomach flutter with butterflies. He let go,
Sadly too soon
And gave me his toothy grin as he said "I'm glad you're okay. We were so worried about you!"
I looked over towards Happy when I saw an annoying smirk across that blue exceeds face. "Hey, don't be doing funny business here! If you needed privacy just say so!" We looked at him confused until we looked at the position we were in and how bad it looked. We both jumped away from one another blushing when Happy rolled his eyes in amusement and said "Ahh! Natsuuu! What are we going to do about the doctor Lucy knocked out!?"
Both Natsu and I turned our gazes toward the KO'd body before us…
"Luce, why DID you knock out the doctor?" Natsu exasperated,
"Do..doc..doctor!?" I squeaked, on the inside I was really terrified. I quickly picked him up and put him on the bed. "What do we do!? Is there another doctor?" I asked hopeful
Natsu and Happy simultaneously shook their heads no making me sweat drop when we hear a groan. I turned to see the doctor getting up rubbing his head. "It's okay, I'm fine, glad to see you doing better." I was so happy I didn't injure him too badly and quickly went to his side on my knees bowing
"GOMENASAI!" I whined, feeling absolutely horrible I hit this kind doctor with a silver tray. He stood me up and smiled,
"that's quite alright."
I smiled politely at him and asked him how much we owed him for helping me.
"Hmm? Oh, nothing at all." He smiled I looked at him confused.
"but theres got to be something we can give you in return." I insisted.
When he declined I felt so horrible.
"Do you know where we can find Daniel Munel?" Natsu asked,
The doctor appeared shocked by his request and gave Natsu a smile.
"I see, are you two the ones who accepted the request?" The doctor asked,
Natsu looked at him as though he was trying to be careful with every word he said. "So, I take it you know where he is?"
The doctor nodded and replied "You're looking at him."
This took me by surprise. I just totally beat up the guy we're working for! Kya! I just want to crawl under a rock about now.
"I'm so glad you two came all this way for the job, come follow me."
Natsu and I gave each other a glance and followed the black haired man deeper into his house. The feeling of doubt still lingered on my mind. I don't know why? Doctor Munel seemed so kind and very handsome. And with that thought I brushed it aside almost to be forgotten.
