Chapter 10: Return
Last time...
She saw Sting standing over her and saw him draw his arm back. "Clench your teeth kitten."
Explosive pain erupted in her head and with the stars in her eyes Lucy floated into the darkness.
In the kidnappers hide-out...
Lucy was scared
didn't want to hurt anymore
just wants to go home
Lucy...is...so...sleepy...
Lucy came out of the darkness, but her mind was still foggy, so she wasn't sure if what she heard was reality.
"The drug worked perfectly, she should begin to feel the effects within the hour."
who's talking?
"It's too bad though that once the drug wears off there's only a 40% chance she'll even survive."
Are they talking about me? Am I going to die?
"The serum still has a long way to go, but with Jude's cash pile not only will the drug be completed but all of us can retire filth rich!"
Jude?...Dad? What happened to dad?oh dad is dead.
A tear slipped down her cheek but no one noticed it, not even her.
So sleepy.
"Looks like she's coming around let's get started."
Someone help me please.
Streets of London, close to the hide-out...
Natsu stood irritatingly patient as Gildarts got off the phone with an informant. The search party had split up again, this time with Erza leading a separate group to search for Jellal. Gildarts, Natsu, and surprisingly Gray had decided to make a single group that would search through East London. About 15 minutes ago Gray decided to ask around the area to see if anyone had seen a girl looking like Lucy. They had found a lead, a girl that resembled Lucy had been seen dragged off by a man from a corner phone booth. Gray was still asking around when Gildarts got a call, someone had noticed movement in an abandoned warehouse not three blocks from where they stood. His informant warned him though, the place was crawling with goons, from different syndicates by the look of it. No one had seen a blonde girl come out of the building yet, so they were assuming they were still holding her.
"So what are we going to do now? We cant exactly bust through the doors, Lucy might not even be there." Gray said as he walked up getting the update on Gildart's phone call.
"Why the hell not?! The bastards are in our territory and have been destroying gangs across the Eastern hemisphere. Those fuckers deserve to get punished." Natsu was furious and now that he knew where Lucy might it was all he could do not to run there.
"Slow down kid. I care about her too and not to worry those scum will receive divine punishment but until then we need to find a way to infiltrate their base and not just get slaughtered.
"I think I can be of help." the three men turned to see their unexpected visitor. Gray cursed and grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt. Gildarts and Natsu made didn't move but they called out for Gray to calm down.
"What the fuck do you want Jellal you traitor?!"
Jellal's face was resigned as he allowed Gray to shake him. "Revenge."
Okay! So there wasn't an intro mainly because I wanted it to be more suspenseful. Yes this chapter was EXTREMELY SHORT...however I wanted to focus more on Lucy's slipping psyche and the return of Jellal. Stay tuned to find out what happens next! A Summary sneak peek:
Jellal never lied to Erza what he had said in France was true but he knew that the Dragons would never go against the "Code". So he was going to handle it in the best way he knew how: total annihilation.
Mwahahaha! Excitement! Cliffhangers! And soon...Super-duper fluffy fluff! pg-13 Fluff!
