Poor Natsu...Review and enjoy! Ciao!
Chapter 21
It might have taken all night, four books, and a lot of crying, but Lucy was finally breathing properly and beginning to regain magic. It had been a struggle the first few days to restrain Natsu from visiting and countless battles to continuously knock him out, but of the fifth day he seemed to have gotten the message and would just sit at the bar switching from glaring at Mirajane to longingly staring at the door that appeared to be, as he said, "mocking" him.
"Natsu really, you have no reason to glare at me. I did a lot to save her life after all." "Yeah I know but, I wanna see her and it's not like I'll do anything bad!" "If no one else can visit, neither can you. And I saw you trying to look through the windows yesterday, I had Gray ice them up for a reason you know." Natsu turned around and growled at Gray for being a traitor. "Calm down fire face, I agree with them so shut up. Rules are rules, especially made by Mira and Erza." Natsu turned back to his drink and mumbled insults under his breath that had to do with armor and snow.
Wendy emerged from the doors and strode towards Levy and Lilly. She whispered something to Levy whose eyes grew wide and suddenly dashed through the doors pulling Wendy behind her. Natsu walked over to where Lilly was sitting with a puzzled look on his face. "What did she tell her?" "I don't know what it means, but she said 4-2-9-7 and then they ran off. Some sort of code maybe?" "4-2-9-7!" Mirajane yelled from behind the bar before she dashed through the doors after Levy and Wendy.
"I guess it was a code. But what does it mean?" "I don't know Natsu, maybe Carla will know." "Hey Carla! Do the numbers 4-2-9-7 mean anything to you?!" Natsu was shouting so loudly the whole guild could hear him, at this however Carla's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "Natsu! Come here at once!" It was strange to take orders from an exceed, but Carla could be quite scary at times. "Do not go shouting things across rooms. I cannot tell you what it means because I was sworn to secrecy by Wendy. I'm sorry."
Natsu frowned and said, "Is it a good or a bad thing?" "It's good, but sudden for the current situation." "Does it have to do with Lucy?" "No more questions Natsu. I have told you everything I can." "Happy, has she told you anything little buddy?" Happy, who was sitting next to Carla, raised an eyebrow and answered, "Natsu, do you really think she'd tell me anything?" Natsu knew he wouldn't get any answers out of Carla and once he sat down on his bar stool, began to daydream about Lucy waking up.
