Sorry about the wait everyone, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, I do however own the Character Kirsten! Please review!
Chapter 7: New Wounds!
I sat in the cage, shaking with fear. How will I get out? Where are Natsu and the others? Questions upon questions filled my head, but I couldn't answer any of them. I looked outside at the sunrise, it was now morning. Only a few hours ago I was sharing my first kiss with Natsu and now I'm stuck in a stupid cage. I crossed my arms and pouted. Then I heard a creak in the floor.
"Are you ready to help us now you little pest?" His voice was starting to irritate me.
"Nope" That made him angry.
"Why you little shit, that's it!" He turned around and headed into another room. I felt the cage lift up and I was also being lifted with it, I was being taken into the room where the boss had just went. All I could see were chains and whips; I was all too familiar with this scenery. Next thing I know I blacked out. When I woke up I was handcuffed to the wall and nobody was around. I tried to use my roar but nothing came out. The door opened and the boss walked in again.
"Well well look who woke up." He proceeded to pick up a whip and walk towards me. "Are you ready to help now?"
"I will never help a low life jerk like you!"
"Wrong answer!" He hit me with the whip several times until I had received new gashes over my old ones. I screamed out in pain. A tear fell down my cheek; the pain grew with every hit. I started to grow weak from the blood loss, my vision was blurry. I knew nobody could hear my screams; at least that's what I thought. The door was kicked in and a figure ran in and spit fire at the man who was the cause of my pain. All I could see now was fire then I blacked out.
"KIRSTEN! WAKE UP!" I snapped my head up, seeing the face I had missed so much. "Kirsten are you ok? I was so worried! Here let me get you down." He got the handcuffs off and I fell to my knees.
"Natsu, you saved me. I thought I'd never see you again." He picked me up and carried me out of the now burning building.
"Of course I'd come save you! You're MY girlfriend, right?" I shook my head and smiled. I liked the sound of that. Blood was still flowing out of the fresh cuts. I knew Natsu noticed because his pace became faster, he started running as my heart beat started to slow down. I could feel myself passing out.
"Natsu…. If I die"
"Stop. You're not gonna die, we're almost there just hang on." I could hear the fear in his voice. We had made it to Magnolia when I closed my eyes. "Stay awake, please stay awake!" His voice was shaky. We burst through the doors of Fairy Tail and shock was in everyone's voices.
"Is she ok? What Happened?" Mira's voice was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
I'm trying something new so that you can see what's going on.
Natsu POV
I carried her into the infirmary, her breathing was faint and her heart beat was slowing rapidly.
"She can't die! Help her please!" I cried out to Mira, hoping she could help her. Wendy ran in and started trying to heal her. The blood stopped and her wounds started to heal. Her heart beat started to go back to normal and her breathing was also back to normal.
"It's going to take a couple days for her to wake up, but she's stable."
"Thank you Wendy!" Mira smiled at the sky dragon slayer and they both went to leave, but Mira stopped. "Wendy you go on out and tell everyone she's ok, I'll be out in a minute." With that Wendy left and the barmaid walked back towards me. "Does she know how you feel?" The question shocked me, but it was expected from Mira the matchmaker.
"Sort of….we kissed then she" I was cut off.
"YOU KISSED!" Mira had the biggest smile I had ever seen. "So you know how she feels? Are you two dating now? How was the kiss? What happened after?"
"I think I do. I'm not sure, I hope so. It was…. Amazing! And she was kidnapped right after we kissed, I ran and ran until I picked up her scent then I ran faster until I heard her screams…. I was so terrified and enraged that someone was hurting her. I saw a cabin and I ran inside, fighting anyone who got in my way. I finally found her and I busted through the door to find a man beating her. All I could feel was anger! What happened next is mostly a blur but I remember catching everything on fire and walking out with Kirsten. She was covered in blood and her life was slowly fading, I knew I had to get back quickly. She knew she didn't have long if we didn't make it back, she started to say good bye but I cut her off. I couldn't think of losing her. Now we're here." I saw the look in Mira's eyes, she had another question.
"What will you tell her when she wakes up?" I hadn't really thought about it but I knew she wasn't leaving without an answer.
"I don't really know. What I do know is I'm not leaving till she's awake."
"Come on. Are you going to tell her you love her?"
"…..How do you know I love her?"
"I can see it in how you keep looking at her." Then it hit me. I've never felt like this before, my heart raced when I looked at her.
"Mira."
"Yes?"
"How do I tell her I…. love her?" I was embarrassed by the question, but I needed to know. I don't know much about romance, but I knew I wanted to be romantic when I told her how I felt.
"Just do what your heart tells you!"
"That's all you're gonna tell me!? What if I freeze up, or make a fool of myself?"
"Trust me. You won't! Now I'll be back every once in a while to check on her, if anything happens yell for me!" Then she left. I pulled a chair next the unconscious girl in the bed. She was beautiful. I held her small hand in mine, rubbing my thumb over the back of her hand. It was smooth and soft. Her red hair flowed around her face and down her chest. I just wanted to hold her, but I stayed seated. I stayed in that spot for 2 days. Guild members came in and out to check on her. Gray and Erza came in and offered to stay while I got some sleep, but I declined. I wanted to be here for when she woke up. I wanted to be the first person she saw when she opened her eyes. Her beautiful emerald eyes. I miss them. I miss her smile and her laugh. Then something snapped me out of my thoughts, and I became angry and what I smelled. I knew who was standing outside without even looking.
"Thought you could get rid of me that easily, huh?"
These jerks just won't go away! I'm going to try to have the next chapter up soon, again sorry for the wait. I'm not good with fight scenes so just use your imagination! I think I did pretty well with Natsu's POV, hopefully you think so too! Please Review!
