Sorry it took so long to update, I kinda left my notebook at school over Christmas break. I'm so sorry!
Natsu: Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's just get back to the story, Johny.
Me: Looks who's cranky. Just because I left him at my house so I could, ya know, go to school!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.
Recap :
Charla sighed. She knew this was coming, and she hadn't exactly told him everything she saw, so he was partly clueless. "Sure, but only because Wendy is off on a job for a few days."
"Aw, but Charla-wait. You said yes! Let's go!"
Chapter 3
"Natsu, why aren't you getting sick?" Lucy looked at her partner, amazed that he wasn't about to puke on anyone. Plus, he didn't even have the help of Wendy!
"Well, I guess I don't see it as transportation." Natsu felt great. Never once had he been on a boat without getting sick. This was knew and he was going to take it while he's got it.
"Now you can enjoy yourself and help a lot with the mission." Lucy smile, happy that she didn't have to deal with him being sick, well, at lest not yet. This is good, now our story can be a bit more believable. I just wonder why he doesn't think this as transportation. Lucy thought
"Yeah, I'll be at the snack bar!" What's this feeling I have right now? I know it's not motion sickness, I can tell that. This is different. It's more... pleasant. It nice, but weird. I think I'll actually think about this while I'm eating. Natsu thought, while running in the direction the smell of the snack bar is.
"Is all you ever think about food and fighting?" Lucy yelled at him, laughing to herself. Maybe this trip won't be so bad after all.
"Happy, are you sure this is the right ship? There's just a bunch of sweaty men here!" Charla said. I knew He-cat would get us lost!
"Ops, wrong ship. I think we need to get on the one in front of us, or maybe that one it a fisherman's ship and he has a bunch of fish!" Then Happy starts to daydream about fish.
"How come you didn't notice that earlier?" The smell off of the men were giving her a head ache, but who can blame her? These men smell terrible!
Happy, snapping out of his day-dream, grabbed Charla's hand and said, "I don't know. Let's get on that other ship now!"
Lucy is walking around the ship, looking for anything suspicious, or just catching her eye. The ship was huge, so it took her a long time, but she has found nothing. This is how she ended up on the south end of the ship.
"Huh? What's this?" She looked at the wall that had a poster on it. She ripped it off and started reading it. It says: "Dance tonight at 8:00. All passengers must attend. Food and drinks are free." Great, now I have to talk Natsu into going to this, which won't be that hard since there's free food involved. But the problem is that now we have to publicly dance and act like a couple while looking for Zeref! Can all of this get any harder?
"Can what get any harder?" A voice said coming from behind her. She hadn't realized that she had voiced the last sentence of her thoughts.
"Oh, um... It's just had to figure out which place to eat since there are so many!" Well, there were a lot of places to eat, but she was lying. She turned around to face the person she was talking to, hoping they didn't notice that she was lying.
"And who might you be?" The man had black hair that hung over his eyes, yet stuck up in the back.
"I'm Lucy, and you are?"
"You're Lucy? Lucy Heartfilla?" His eyes grew wider.
"Um... Yes?" What in the world is going on? Lucy thought. Only certain people knew her last name, and she can't remember ever seeing him before.
"This isn't good. You and your friend need to get off this boat." The man started to panic.
"Why?"
"You're part of the prophecy to get me to do their will!"
To get me to do their will. "You're Zeref!? You need to come with me and then-wait. Aren't there supposed to be guards around you? So you don't escape?"
"That was a lie. They made it up so they can capture you and Natsu at the same shot."
Lucy was now confused. "Why do they want us?"
"They want Natsu so they can kill him so he won't save you or kill me or both. They want to so they can do the Blood ritual. "
"I know I'm sounding really stupid right now, but what is that?"
Zeref chuckled. "It's okay, I didn't expect you to know all of this. Anyway, the Blood ritual is where they drain your blood, have me drink it, and then I turn into their personal slave."
"Why do they want me?"
"Because of what the prophecy states:
Once the parents died
And the girl's survived
She becomes the key
For all eternity."
"But there are many other girls whose parents are both deceased."
"They need a Celestial wizard who has gone through an event the was supposed to kill them. So, they found you."
"Well, this job seems a bit more normal now."
Now it was Zeref's turn to be confused. "How?"
"I've been kidnapped twice already. Just because of who I am."
"Oh. Anyway, you and Natsu need to leave as soon and discreetly as possible."
"Okay, I'll do that!" Lucy turned and started to run to where the snack bar was, where Natsu would be stuffing his face.
"Happy, why are we hiding in a box?" Charla said, trying to keep her distance away from Happy.
"Because we still have to hide from people, including Natsu and Lucy!" Happy stated like it was common knowledge.
"But why are we hiding from everyone else? It just seems silly."
"When I heard Gramps talking to them, he said that these people kill cats!"
"You're going to tell me everything that you heard. But, we need to find a better place to hide."
"Um...I know! Under the snack bar!" Happy was praising himself inside his head for his amazing idea.
"You're trying to get us caught, aren't you?"
"No! How about Natsu and Lucy's room. With Natsu's motion sickness he'll be hanging over a railing barfing and Lucy would be out trying to find some stuff for their mission!"
"Did you just have a good idea? Lucky for you I saw what room number they have. Follow me, and don't get caught."
"Aye!"
"Master, do you really think it was a good idea just sending those two?" Erza said, thinking about everything that could go wrong. Some of those things are very disturbing.
"Those two will be just fine as long as Natsu doesn't get sick." Master Makarov said, trying to calm Erza's worrying the best he can.
"I still don't feel right about this. I mean, why would Magnolia think of them as a couple." Apparently, Erza has some serious catching up to do.
"Maybe they think that because he breaks into her house everyday." Mira, who just happened to be walking by, froze and her jaw dropped. How did he find out?
"How do you know that?" Mira and Erza shouted at the same time.
"I keeps tabs on my brats. So you see Erza, they should be fine."
"I still think that we should send some reinforcements just in case."
"Erza, you worry too much."
How'd you guys like the chapter? I know it's not really good, but I think it'll do.
Natsu: Why am I only in a tiny bit?
Me: Because you were only needed for that part of the chapter. Don't worry, you'll be in there more next chapter.
Natsu: I better be, or else you might not have any hair left when you wake up.
Me: AHHHHHH!
Please review! Bye!
