Chapter 6
Lucy started walking down the dirt path that laid ahead. She was hot, pissed, thirsty, and pissed. But she wasn't the only one. Erza and Grey where also very very pissed. But they couldn't find which problem to be the worst. Erza's magic overflowing the battery of the carriage they stole or all of their food supply ending up in the thief's hands of a hungry raccoon family.
"Guys." Lucy spoke
Erza and Grey both ripped off their shoes. The forest they were in was filed with bugs, dirt, creatures, and rocks. Lots of tiny rocks. You know, the type of TINY rocks that always find their way into your shoes making every step you take hurt like a {CENSORED} Anyway every five minutes they had to stop to get rocks out of their shoes.
Lucy took off her white shoes and tipped it upside-down leaving millions of pebbles and rocks to fall out. "Are we almost there yet?" Grey plopped down onto the ground not caring about what had lied beneath or once went on top. Grey was exhausted. They all were actually. "We can't fall asleep," Erza looked down at the ground. "We have one day left." The gang was almost out of Athena. About five more hours until they reach Akuma. [If they walked non-stop that is] Lucy shoved her face in her hands. Tears were falling and she tried not to make any noise. Keeping all the hurt inside was too much for the celestial wizard; she let out a little gasp which was only noticed by her. She hoped. Night was fading away and filled them all with fear. Morning leads to less time, less time leads to a lesser chance of saving Natsu.
Natsu. Erza thought. She clenched her fist. "If only I was stronger, she whispered to herself. Ten her eyes grew wide. "What would Natsu do?" she still whispered but the sound of Natsu's name caught Grey and Lucy's attention. "He wouldn't stop no matter what." Lucy spoke. Grey giggled. "That squinty eyed bastard wouldn't even think until he saw his nakama." Lucy wiped some tears away from her red face. You could still tell she had been crying though. Then she also laughed. "No matter what."
She remembered all those times Natsu saved her. Even in the beginning, the day they first met. She could see the memory so clearly. Being trapped on a boat, the fake salamander, and Natsu crashing through the ceiling. She also remembered the time when she was falling down the tower knowing Natsu was going to be there to catch her. He saved her. Then the battle at the Oracion seis, when that white fat guy was just about to finish her off, Natsu came out of nowhere and kicked him across the face.
Lucy smiled, he saved her.
He saved Erza at the tower of heaven, and helped Grey out after his battle with Lyon.
But not this time. This time Natsu was the one who was going to be saved. At least they hoped so. "Let's get going," Grey stood up. "It's no time to zone out, it's already around one and we've been sittin here." Then they all stood up. "AYE!" they yelled in union. They started running, they cold already see the border line!
{WARNING! Some really depressed shit bout to happen :,{ also a saucey-saucey moment, I'll teach you what it means when the time comes : 3}
Natsu P.O.V
The marking on my arms where all over my body now. Now that I think of it, I haven't used the bathroom ina LONG ASS TIME! Yup, it's a little passed midnight right now. Today was the day I was going to die. My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to patch things up with Lucy or say goodbye to the guild. I know Lucy's alive I feel it. Queen spouts a load of shit. Hopefully Lucy or Lisanna will take care of Happy. As long as their safe. I know they'd be the opposite of safe if I was around. Looks like I'll never surpass Erza, or tease Grey, or see Lucy's smile. I hate how I left it at that. Just as I was thinking Queen walked in with two guards beside her. They walked over to me and unlocked my chains. The guards looked pretty damn weak but I didn't try to beat them up and run away. Like I said before, I've accepted my shitty ass fate. It was my fate since I was a baby.
I was born for only this reason. The guards stood me up and chained my hands behind my back. I could still beat their asses if I tried though. I was hungry, but that wasn't going to be for long anyway. When we waked out of the room I was blinded by the light. Light. Haven't seen that in a while.
By the time my eyes adjusted I was in front of stairs. Around me was a huge circle shaped room, with blood-red stained windows ten feet high. And behind me stood a door twice as much. But that didn't compare to what I had to climb. Fifty feet worth of stairs they made me hike. When I managed to reach the top I was tired as hell!
It was still the beginning of the day, I'm set to die at 11:59. Just before tomorrow. There where chains hanging from the ceiling and stopped a little before it reached the platform. They chained my arms. I was forced to kneel down and have my arms stick out sideways from my body. [Making a T shape. Kinda]
I was tired, hungry, thirsty, and depressed. But as long as my nakama is safe, im the happiest man in the world. Queen stood in front of me. I felt like a trained dog that obeyed all of master's commands. I hated it. I had to look up to her towering over my body. My head was right near that bitch's crotch. That stupid bitch.
[SAUCEY-SAUCEY MOMENT XD feel free to be grossed out]
She bent down and squished my face with her hands making my lips perk out a little. Great, just what I needed. [Sarcasm, gatta love it] Her eyes met mine. They seemed different somehow. Queen's pupil was just a straight line. She stuck her tongue out at me and my eyes grew. Right before I could think she kissed me. But this time it was different. I could feel something slither down my throat that was way too long to be a normal tongue. I practically choked. Eww! I tried to push away but my arms where useless, plus she put her hand behind my head and pushed me into her. Damn she acted like she owned my mouth. She even somehow wrapped hers around mine. I gave in, nothing better to do anyway. I loosened my muscles and didn't move. She slid out and licked my cheek. Then whispered in my ear. "Looks like I finally broke you."
[CONGRATTS! That was a SAUCEY-SAUCEY moment XD]
I hated how she was right, I hated how I was born with this, I hated Queen and how she always took advantage of me in my weakest hour. All I know is, it's the life I was given.
END OF NATSU P.O.V
Lucy was falling, she could hear Natsu call her name. "LUCY!" the sound of his voice eased her pain in her state. 'It's the end' she thought. Natsu's voice came closer and louder. "LUCY!" until he was over her breathing heavily, blood dripped on her cheek.
"AHH!" Lucy shot up sweating like tasty bacon a frying pan under the sun. she felt tears rolling from her eyes. "It was just a dream." She whispered to herself feeling her heart beat like a hummingbirds. She looked around and saw Erza and Grey knocked out like a light. She didn't remember falling asleep. It was from all of the running. She stood up and walked over to wake Erza. She too was sweating from a dream. She touched Erza's shoulder lightly and she whipped her eyes open. She smiled knowing what she just dreamt was a dream. She sighed when she got up, walked over to Grey and kicked him in the stomach. "OWW!"
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" Grey snapped. He started rubbing his, now red, tummy and brushed dirt off of his head. "Damn does anyone know what time it is?" Lucy covered her mouth to hide her yawn. "I guess we knocked out around three or so." Erza said with her serious face. Now that Lucy noticed, the sun was high in the sky. By the position of the sun it was afternoon. 'Holy shit!" after stretching they started running again. "Natsu," they all said under their breaths. "Where in Akuma."
