Chapter 4: The Spy, King and Queen
Normal POV
3 days has passed since Lucy had remembered something from her past and the Sting incident. Natsu thought that there is something different about Sting's eyes, so he followed him when Lucy said she will be going shopping with Mira and Levy. Natsu followed him for almost 2 hours and yet nothing strange happened. Later on 3 hours later, Natsu is still following Sting and what he saw is Sting spying on Lucy. As the time goes on, Natsu kept on following Sting.
-Time Skip 6:00pm, Sting's home-
Sting went home without even noticing Natsu. Sting lived in a dark and large mansion, and you cant see even a single flower outside. It was weird and it has an evil, spine chilling aura.
Natsu POV
"what is this place? Its so dark and cold." I said with a trembly voice
Because of I am a vampire, I have great senses like sense of smell, sight and hearing. I can smell better than anyone and see things from far away and I can hear even the slightest thing.
I had carefully surveyed the area until I heard a scream from the eastern side of the mansion. I rushed where that scream came from until it led to a prison where there are two persons are held inside. I was a bit confused why the prisons looked healthy and well, but I can sense anger and hatred from them. There's a person infront of them wearing a big black long coat with black hair and sash. Moments later, I saw that man in black sucked the prisoners blood until they became weak but will be able to stand up.
"So that's why he kept them healthy and looking well, so he can still have his blood supply, if he sucks blood then that means he's a vampire! B-but, who are those two? That woman seems familiar, it almost kinda looked like- - - - LUCY? N-no.. its not Lucy, its an older version of Lucy, but what on-" before I could finish, I sensed Sting's evil aura coming closer so I made my way out and had gone home to tell my father about this.
-Time Skip-
Natsu POV
"DAD! DAD!" I called my dad loudly
"Natsu calm down" My mommy Grandine said.
"Mom! Where's dad?" I asked her
"Upstairs"
I rushed up and went to my dad and explained everything to my dad.
Igneel POV
"WHAT?! T-there's a woman that looked like LUCY?!" I asked my son furiously while smashing my wrist in the table
"yes dad" Natsu answered
"Could you take me to them?" I asked
"right now?"
"YES! NOW!" I yelled
"B-but dad! L-Lucy I have to" Natsu was cut-off by his dad
"Natsu! If you want to keep Lucy safe! Take me to them!" I yelled once again and my son nodded in agreement
My son took me in the place where he said there were two prisons inside. I was shocked when I saw the prisoners. It was Queen Layla and King Jude! The Heartfilia Royalties. My eyes widen. But I thought I should analyze things first before I save them. I told Natsu to go and find Lucy.
"Natsu. You go and find Lucy. If you wont, she might be in trouble" I said
"What do you mean? Trouble?" Natsu asked worriedly
"there's no time to explain son! JUST DO IT!" I told him
"okay dad! You can count on me!" Natsu said when he made his way to Lucy"
Natsu POV – Lucy's apartment
"Luce! Are you here?" I called for her but nobody answered, so I thought she's not here, but I can smell her until I heard a small moan. And there I found her sleeping soundly at her comfy bed.
"Damn! Your so cute Luce, you know that?" I said while brushing strands of her hair away from her face.
I leaned closer and gave her a peck at the forehead, wishing her a good dream. I just watched her cute sleeping face, imagining her in a princess outfit until I heard a
"Natsu.." she said while sleeping
"cute. Your dreaming about me aren't you?"
-Time Skip Morning-
Lucy POV
I just woke up from my beautiful dream, but I can feel two strong arms wrapped around my waist and a hot, smooth breathing coming from my one and only bestfriend Natsu. Natsu was still asleep and he looked so cute than usual.
"Your so cute" I gave him a peck on the cheek and said " I love you"
"I love you too Luce" Natsu said gently
"what? Y-y-you were a-awake?" I blushed million times than usual
"yeah" Natsu said as he leaned closer and gave me a soft kiss.
The kiss only lasted for 3 seconds but it warm and soft. I looked away from embarrassment as he said "don't look away, just, look at me, okay?"
I nodded and blushed
"does this mean were official now?" Natsu asked
"yeah, isn't it obvious?" I said while giving him a small peck on the cheeks and he blushed
OKAY! THAT's IT FOR NOW! SEE YA!
