Chapter 3

Lucy lay in her bed at the inn her brown eyes staring into darkness as she tried not to think yet again about those fangs or the giant spider knowing she was going to have a huge fear of them for awhile. Lucy sighed before going to roll over but quickly stopping as she remembered how she had 'stolen' Fro and Lector for the night not wanting to sleep by herself inside the room. Lucy glanced at the two cats before quickly climbing out of the bed and slowly and softly exiting the room not knowing the sensitive ears of a dragon slayer who opened his eyes and slowly got up.

Lucy silently walked out of the inn not noticing she was being followed. She walked into the small park and sat on one of the swings, her keys starting to softly jingle as she pushed the swing back and forth while she stared up at the sky. As she stared up at it tears started to fall from her eyes faster as she tried to wipe them away with her hands but only made it worse as they came faster and faster.

"Why are you crying?" A man's voice came from above Lucy as the swing stopped and she looked up to see a guy maybe a little older then her with black hair and cold black eyes. "Oh...Uhhh no-no reason..."

"Now now you can tell me sweet heart." the man said with a small creepy smile.

"Um I should be getting back home now..." Lucy said as she quickly tried to get up from the swing but was pushed back down by the man. Before the man or her could even say anything through the man was sent flying as Rogue stood there his eyes watching the man while he took Lucy by the hand before turning and walking back towards the inn without saying a word.

"Ummm Rogue?... Did you follow me here because you were worried or something?" Lucy finally asked the shadow dragon slayer.

"I heard you leave and came to get." Was his answer as he walked into the inn.

"Rogue why are you still holding my hand?" Lucy asked then felt Rogue stop stare at his hand that's holding her's tightly before letting it go and stepping father away from her. "Sorry..." Rogue muttered before opening the inn door and following Lucy tell they came to her room and he waited for her to go in and close the door before melting into the shadows in the hallway.

Slipping inside his room as a shadow he heard Sting breathing in and out and letting out a mutter here and there as he talked in his sleep. Good still asleep, just like I left you. Rogue thought as he slipped into his bed and closed his eyes not knowing that Sting had mastered the art of faking sleeping and was wide awake.

The Next day 12:36 pm

Lucy's p.o.v.

I looked around as watched Sting and Rogue as the were making a plan to break into the spider's nest. Last night it seemed that there were two other baby spiders that attacked. Now it seems that we have to take out the rest of the baby spiders and the big mother spider that lives inside a cave a couple miles outside of town. Lector sat besides me while Fro walked around in circles. I carefully held my keys cleaning them gently with a small cloth in my bag watching as the golden ones start to gleam and shine more.

"Hmmm..." I say as I pick up one of the silver keys and sees a small blue figure on it. I get up glance at the boys who are still arguing on what the plan of attack is. "Lector, Fro do you want to come with me over there? I want to try something."

Lector and Fro looked at each other then Fro said "Fro thinks that the Rogue-kun will be worried though."

"Don't worry we wont go to far that it will make them worry just a couple feet away that we wont bother them while I try to summon a spirit."

Lector and Fro followed me as we walked at twenty feet away and stood her arm out while holding the key tightly in one hand. "What spirit are you going to bring out?" Lector asked as he sat in the grass waiting. "I have no idea... But I can't wait to see! Open Gate of the Canis Minor Nikroa!"

"Ohhhh Awww." I hear Fro say as with a small white light a small dog like spirit with a carrot like nose appeared in front of me. "Awww!" Me and Fro say at the same time while I pick it up and hug it tightly as I say "Oh my god your sooo cute! I wish I remembered your name!"

"Puuu-Pun." the little spirit said as Lucy hugged him.

"He says you named him Plue." Lector said as he walked over to them and glared silently at the poor spirit who started to shake.

"Awww Plue that's such a cute name for a cute spirit!"

"I wonder what he'll do in battle." Lector said while staring at him.

"Puuu..Pun"

"...He says his just a spirit pet not a fighter." Lector said while giving a are-you-kidding-me look. Lucy stuck her tongue out before closing the gate as she heard Sting call out to her to get her ass over there.

Sting's p.o.v.

I carefully moved along the wall of the cave stopping to move around a sleeping baby spider. There's got to be at least a hundred or so of them asleep in this damn cave and we still haven't found the mother yet. I can see why this is S-class... I wonder if blondie is scared yet. I thought as I carefully walked over another leg and dropped low as a leg swung down from a sleeping spider.

My blue eyes looks around and I can see Rogue drifting in and out of the shadows as he moves deeper to. Then I glance up and see Lector and Fro holding onto Lucy as they softly flew through the cave trying not to hit anything. Now where in the world is the mom? I thought before stopping as I came face to face with the mother spider who was staring right back at me.

Hehe... I bet you thought that Sting was going after Lucy buuut I just had to have Rogue go and bring her back. Anyways this is still going to be a Sticy fanfic so don't be worried!... Anyways comments please!
