PREY AND PREDETOR
~4-ROCKS~
Three weeks had passed since Lucy had been caught. Three, aweful weeks... Lucy opened her eyes, and as ever, the first thing she saw was the other side of the rocky cave, next to it the exit. She coughed, her throat was so dry. Lucy's state was deplorable. Her clothes had tears and burns in them, her skin was bleeding in some places, lightly burnt in others, some places were looking a dangerous shade of green. The chains around her hands were causing red rub marks around her wrists, and her eyes...her eyes had no shine... they would no longer show any sign of emotion.
"You're up." Natsu said, appearing at the entrance. Lucy groaned.
"N-no..." she whispered. Natsu nodded.
"I said so. I said I would feed on you." He said, as he lay her down straight. Lucy closed her eyes, and cried.
"There is no way I could feel pleasure from you..." she croaked.
"See, that's the thing about evolution. You have no choice. You love me when I do those things, it's nature." He said, before getting on top of her. Lucy closed her eyes, and turned her head to the side. "Just be thankful I've only gone as far as kissing you. I could just do it and that would probably do the trick." Natsu sighed."Never mind. Where today?" He asked, raising his fiery hand up.
"Your sick." Lucy croaked, as she bit down on her tongue.
"Fine. Neck it is." He said, and grabbed her under the neck, holding her hair up. Lucy opened her eyes, and looked at him so angrily...so bitterly...
"Brun in hell..." she spat. She would show him... She was strong, even though she was a mere human to him. She would show him...
"I am hell." Natsu said, before he heated his hand up. Lucy cried out slightly, her voice to weak to scream. Her skin was pink, whilst her neck burnt, and her mouth was open in agony. Natsu looked down at her. Her head was lolling off his hand, and her hair was back, revealing her beautiful skin. He looked down at her, lost a moment, lost in her pale skin, in her delicate lips, her fragile features, her light blush... he looked down in sorrow. She bit down on her bottom lip, as a small tear, like a pearl, rolled from the corner of her eye.
"D-don't..." she moaned. Nasu sighed.
"Lucy..." he whispered, as he raised her up, and put his lips to the crook of her neck, stoppping the heat from his hand. Lucy sighed out in relief.
"A-ah..." She said, as he blew slightly on her neck.
"Like it?" He asked, momenterily removing his lips.
"N-never..." She said, as he licked.
"Don't lie." He whispered into her ear.
"I'm not." She breathed out.
"I know you're feeling pleasure. You have no choice." He whispered, as he bought his hand to her chest, and put his hand around her breast.
"S-stop." She said, but Natsu iterrupted her by kissing her lips, and he breathed in. Her sweet scent, so pure, yet so bitter... He waited for it, the tase, the warm flow that went into his mouth, but nothing, just the taste of Lucy...
"Come on!" He shouted, as he pushed her back again. Lucy, as ususal laughed.
"What's that now? Humans 31, whatever you are, 0?" She said.
"No. No you don't get your point just yet." He said, as put his hand around her cheeks.
"Come on just give up! Let me go and give up!" She said to him.
"No Lucy. I will feed of you." He said, as he gave a quick kiss on her lips.
"Stop." She said. Natsu grinned.
"What?"
"Stop. Kissing me. With no intention to please." She said. He then felt her emotions.
"You've let your guard down...I can feel what you're feeling." He laughed, as he put his hand to her heart. She frowned up at him.
"I don't understand?"
"I can feel peoples emotions, Lucy. Normaly, but with you..." he sighed, and pressed his hand down harder where her heart was. "I can't, except from time to time, little flutters of emotions." He smiled.
"I don't mean to hide them." She said.
"Liar, nobody can hide there emotions unintentionaly." He said, and kissed her quickly again. He laughed. "There it is again."
"What?" She asked.
"You, you actually really do like this, see? You like the kisses." He laughed. Lucy bit down on her lip.
"Stop!" She shouted.
"You do like it!" He laughed.
"No! I like the kisses, but nothing else. You torture me then make out with me, like as if I would like that." She shouted.
"Don't you see? I can feel it when you lie Lucy, right now I can feel everything you feel. Damn...that's a lot of hate for me, there is pain there as well, but you like this, you definitely like this." He said, before kissing her again, staying put on her lips a moment longer. "Yes, you like it." He kissed her more, before he forced her mouth open with his tongue, and kissed her passionatley. He kept his hand on her heart, feeling the pleasure she felt.
"Aren't you angry?" Lucy said, her voice low, as she leant away.
"Angry? Why?" He asked. Lucy smiled, and kissed him. Natsu looked shocked.
"Okay, maybe I do like it." She said. "But that also means you now know you are achieving pleasure, but you're still not getting the pain." She laughed, and kissed him again. Natsu frowned. Something about Lucy, there was something about her, her way of laughing despite it, he just couldn't shake it off.
"I have other hypotheses." He said.
"Like what?" She asked. Natsu took her cheek, and kissed her.
"Aw...I can't feel it anymore.." he sighed. He got up off her, and indicated for her to turn around. She did getting up on her knees. "Maybe, maybe you get a more intense pleasure from something else, that's what I'm thinking." He said, as he undid her chains. She sighed as they came off her wrists. "Up." He ordered. She nodded, and scrambled up.
"I'm cold..." she muttered, as she stumbled.
"Tsch..." Natsu sighed, and picked her up bridal style.
"Hey!" She shouted.
"What? You are limping." He said.
"Yeah, only because of your burns! I can walk it off." She said, and got down. Natsu sighed.
"I got you some clothes from the campsite you were at. They left in a hurry, leaving everything there." He muttered.
"Y-you got me clothes? No, torn to shred clothes?" She said, her eyes shining. He looked to the side.
"Yes, come." He said. She nodded, and followed him through the caves, till they reached the main one.
"Natsu? Why is she out? Still no luck?" The gruff one, named Gajeel asked.
"No. I wanna try something else." He said.
"Or-" Sting said. "Let me try." He whispered, having grabbed Lucy's wrists and holding them behind her back, giving her a boyish grin.
"Sting get off her!" Natsu growled, kicking him so he flew into the wall, and grabbing Lucy's waist, holding her close to him. There was silence.
"Natsu-san, we are all hungry..." The little girl named Wendy whined.
"Yes. I am starving." Rogue said, as they all approached Lucy.
"Stop! The catcher gets to go first!" He yelled.
"You can't feed of her though." Sting sighed.
"Just let Sting try, he's the least lickely to kill her." Gajeel said. Natsu sighed.
"Fine." He said, and pushed Lucy to him. Lucy fell to the ground.
"Ouch..." she sighed.
"Hey..." Sting whispered. "Come up there with me, I want to speak with you." He said. He grabbed Lucy around the waist, and jumped up. He landed twenty meters above the main entrance, on a stone formation going from one side of the wall to the other.
"What?" Lucy asked, as she looked down, scared.
"I want to speak with you... tell me about your past. I felt sorrow in you when you came..." he said, as he took her hand. Lucy looked into the blue eyes of the man, and felt like she could trust him...
"I...I have lived in an orphanage most of my life... my mother and father left me at the doorstep, like as if they didn't want me..." She sniffed.
"They probaly didn't..." Sting said. Lucy felt sad, as she looked at the ground below them. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"The feeling of not being wanted..." she put her hand over her eyes.
"Hey, I am going to let you escape." Sting whispered to her ear.
"What?" She asked, her sorrow being replaced by happiness.
"Yes, you are of no use, Natsu is just fixated." Sting said, before grabbing her wrist again. He took her face, and approached to her mouth, forcing her own open. Lucy thought he was going to kiss her, but he just stayed there, his mouth parted as well. "Damn!" He shouted.
"W-what?!" Lucy asked.
"I can't feed of you either! Bitch!" He yelled, and pushed her. She stumbled back, and fell of the edge.
"Ah!" She screamed, as she felt the air rush through her hair. She expected to feel a giant crash, but instead she felt warmth... "Natsu." She said, as he put her to her feet.
"STING!" He roared. Sting jumped down.
"Natsu there is no use! We can't feed off her! We need to kill her!" Sting yelled.
"Stop it!" Gajeel shouted. Sting growled.
"Just because Natsu has an extra power he thinks he's superior to all of us! He's obsessed with that girl!" Sting yelled, waving a hand at Natsu.
"Shut up! I will feed on her, and you ain't gonna stop me!" Natsu yelled back.
"What is it with her Natsu?! Usually you would of killed her by now! Is she just your toy now?!"
"Fuck you!" Natsu shouted back.
"Um...where is she?" Wendy asked shyly.
"What?!" Sting and Natsu barked, turning to Wendy. Wendy gulped.
"J-just, where is the girl?" She said. Natsu looked around.
"No. No damn." He said.
"Well done Natsu, now she's gonna find her way back to civilisation and tell the world about us. Great, we'll end up like Acnalogia because of-" Sting started saying. Natsu just turned around, lit his fist, and punched him in the face.
"Happy now?! She's gone!" He yelled, and ran to the cave entrance. He jumped, and started falling down the cliff, but a blinding white ligh shone, and he was once more the giant flying reptile, with eyes like a hawk.
Meanwhile, Lucy slid down a steep slope, and arrived on a flatter bit. She ran, as fast as she could. Around her were grey rocks, the grey rocks tearing her skin and clothes, but also letting her escape. She slid, and fell on her front.
"Ah!" She yelled, as she cut her chin. She put her hand to it, and felt blood, but she still got up. Lucy got up, and ran.
Next Chapter!
