"Lucy! LUCY! LUCE!"
"Na-su." The girl croaked as loudly as her dried out throat could muster. She began to cry hearing his voice call for her. Lucy began to twist and turn her body to get rid of the bindings on her wrist and ankles.
"Hun, it's coming from here." She heard a familiar voice say.
Yelling was heard above her head as well but she didn't pay much attention.
'Natsu, I'm scared and happy. Help me.' She thought as a door creaked open stopping her of her moving.
"Na-su. Na-su." The blonde croaked breaking into tears of mixed emotion.
She heard a gasp and hushed voices before another door creaked open again. Hands grabbed at her shoulders, one pair were rough the other was softer. They pulled her to a sitting position but her vision was blinded by tears to see her saviors.
"Shh it's alright hun. We got you, your safe." A warm voice spoke in a soothing way that put Lucy at ease but felt as if she knew the voice from somewhere. "Alzack, go tell Erza. I'll ease her up. The voice spoke again when the bindings at her ankles were off.
"Alright." Another voice said before the binding around her wrist we cut off.
Lucy immediately raised her hands to her eyes and rubbed tiredness and tears away. When she was finished she looked up to see a woman with long green hair and red ruby lips smile at her gently.
"Come on hun, you got someone worried about you." She said getting to her feet.
"W-who are you?"
"I'm Bisca."
"D-don't you work in a diner?"
"Yeah I do, part time for my family. But I do have another job."
Lucy stared confused as the woman named Bisca gently pulling her up to her feet. The school girl wobbled from not being on her feet in so long but she shakingly took two steps while being held up by Bisca. The pair ventured up the stairs little by little, step by step. The green hair woman didn't rush the blonde when they heard the yelling get more louder nearing the top.
"Luce!" Was yelled out stopping all the lecturing being heard.
She looked up and instantly began to feel her chest tighten and tears building up. "Natsu."
There the man with unusal pink hair dressed in one of his many black slacks and white dress shirts stood before her shocked written all over his face. Lucy tried to walk over to him but was held back by Bisca's hold on her elbow. She tried once more to which the older woman let her go but hovered over her so that she didn't fall.
"Luce, I been worried sick about you." He said rushing to her aid when she wobbled a bit. His bat, the bat he held on their second encounter, laid thrown and forgotten on the ground. Natsu gathered Lucy in a tight embrace until letting her go after a moment. "Are you alright?" He asked laying a hand to her tear matted face.
"Did he harm you in anyway Lucy?" Erza spoke up, frightening the blonde, and pointed to the stairs where another blonde stood avoiding anyone's gaze.
Lucy shock her head confused. "No Erza." She turned back to Natsu. "I'm fine."
A hiccup cry of happiness escaped her lips, startling a few, as the blonde school girl threw her arms around the pinkette. "I almost thought I'd never see you again! Oh Natsu I-" Her lip quivered.
"Shh Lucy." He said draping an arm over the girl's shoulders.
He began to lead her away out the door where they both left the room filled with people.
Erza began to speak in a authoritative way but neither one heard anything she said.
"I was so scared. But I somehow knew you'd get me Natsu." Lucy said quietly. The pinkette hummed a response to assure her she was right. She spoke up once more and spoke at a whisper. "Who were all those people?"
The hold Natsu had on her shoulders tightened but loosen just as it happened. "All that's for another day." He said. "You don't know how upset I was Luce."
Lucy looked up at Natsu and saw how serious he looked guiding them to a vehicle nearby.
"I know." She said laying her head against him smiling happily.
