Hello Everyone!
I'm back and ready to start another chapter of Phantom Thief Celeste! It's been a long time so forgive me if it comes out short. Thanks for all the reviews, favorites, and follows though! Enjoy!
Chapter 7: The Heart, Flow at a Pure Star
"Loke what're you doing? You're hurting me!" She cried out.
Now Lucy was starting to get a lot scared. She looked at her key, which started to vibrate. The red gem was blinking brightly. No way…a demon is possessing Loke!
Meanwhile, looking through one of the windows, Natsu saw Loke harassing Lucy. A sudden anger bubbled up inside him as fury danced in his eyes. Before he knew it, he started to run towards them, fist clenched.
"I SAID STOP IT!"
Lucy shoved as hard as she could and managed to push Loke off of her. He fell to the ground, a bit dazed at what she'd done.
Oh no, I threw him hard because I thought he was a demon, but his body is still human. Lucy thought, covering her mouth in panic. Loke got up like nothing bothered him at all and started to walk towards her again.
"Hey Luce!"
Lucy felt herself being hoisted in the air by a familiar pair of arms. She turned around, her face blushing madly as Natsu grinned back at her.
"Now, now Loke you can't just go seducing girls like that at school. You may do it other places, but this is a schoolyard for learning." Natsu lectured to the orange haired boy.
Loke smirked at Natsu and started to walk away. Passing him by, he whispered in his ear.
"I won't let you have Lucy-san, not ever."
Such confidence…I wonder where he gets it from. Natsu wondered, growling slightly. He turned towards Lucy who was still blushing madly.
"Hey are you okay Luce?" He asked her.
"Why did you help me? I was fine on my own." She snapped, walking to the school building. Natsu sighed, bewildered by her comment a little.
I'm strong…I'm not some weak girl…who needs to be protected.
Natsu ran his fingers across his hair and shook his head. He couldn't believe how she was acting towards him. And she seemed like a very nice girl.
"Having a hard time with girls, eh Salamander?"
He didn't even turn around to notice the tiny floating angel behind him. The angel had long, unruly black locks and piercings running down his face. His black wings had dots of silver and his red eyes held mischief.
"Shut up Gajeel, she's just warming up to me."
"Gihihihi sounds like she totally hates your guts."
Natsu grabbed him out of the air and squeezed him n his palms. "Who asked you?! And why are you here anyway?"
Gajeel broke out of his grip and flashed him a grin. "I found where the demon escaped to."
"Yeah so did I."
"What, how did you find out ash for brains?"
"Hey I can find these things too!"
Gajeel shook his head. When it came to Natsu, the only thing the boy could find was the nearest restaurant.
"Well then, I guess there was no reason for me to come here then. Say was Bunny Girl over there the reincarnated form of Mavis?"
"Uh huh, she sure is."
"It's rare to see you helping others, have you really fallen for her?"
Natsu smiled at his small companion. "More like using her in way. I'm just pretending to fall for her to gain more information."
Later at the Heartfilia apartment, Lucy was taking a nice bath. The bubbles surrounding her body, the feeling of the warm water washing away her troubles. Besides her on the rim of the tub, Levy was taking her bath in a small teacup, her wings propped against the side.
"A brain-washing demon that attacks the weakness in your heart huh?" Lucy asked her, curiosity rising.
"Afraid so, there must be something that is weak in Loke's heart that made him a victim." Levy explained.
"Hmm…I wonder where the painting is then. We have to save him, but I can't find it." Lucy said, getting out the tub and slipping on a nightgown. She opened the door to find Lisanna in her pajamas, watching t.v in her living room.
"HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!?" Lucy shouted, getting an annoyed look from Lisanna.
"Mira sent me here to give you some dinner. Is it a bad thing for me to be here?" She raised an eyebrow at Lucy. "And who were you talking to in the bathroom? I thought I heard voices."
"Oh it was no one! Just talking to myself!" Lucy rambled out a bit fast. "Tell Mira-san I said thanks!"
"Oh yeah I have something else for you." Lisanna reached into her pocket and placed something in Lucy's hand.
"Tickets for Akane Amusement Park?" Lucy gazed at them in amazement. These tickets were hard to obtain due to the popularity of the theme park.
"Yeah Loke gave me the tickets. He wanted us four to go together tomorrow."
"…..Us four?"
"You and Me, and Loke and Natsu!"
I see, Lisanna and Natsu will be with us so I should relax and come…but if I go unconcerned and unprepared, I won't be let off so easily next time!
"Okay then, tomorrow at 10 O'clock kay?" Lisanna said as she exited her complex.
"Wait Lisanna, I don't want to…I DON'T WANNA GO!"
With that the ends today's chapter. I told you it would be short. Until next time when Lucy gets in a haunting situation that causes her day at the park to be a thriller!
Please review and thanks for reading!
