Breaking Point and Saviors
So many thoughts ran through his mind. Law was to the point of almost passing out from how fast his mind was racing. One thing that was constantly on his mind was He's too close! He's too close! HE'S TOO FUCKING ClOSE!
Raising his hands, Law pressed them against Doflamingo's chest. Then, he pushed with all of his strength. It worked and he was able to push him almost to the other side of the room. He was huffing from how fast his mind was racing and the effort of pushing him.
Doflamingo looked pissed off that he was able to get him off of him once again. "Why won't you just accept that you're mine? You were born to be mine."
"Hahahaha." Law laughed as he continued to breathe heavily. "I was never born to be yours. I was born to be the person I am." He stood up straight. "I'm Trafalgar Law. The heir to the throne of Flevance. I am not to be the property of such an arrogant, pompous, self-absorbed jackass like you. You can kiss my ass."
If Doflamingo wasn't pissed off before, he sure as hell was now. Law could almost see steam coming out of his ears. The man's face was so red and there were large veins bulging on his forehead.
"LAW!"
Just as he launched himself at him, Law sidestepped him before rushing out of the room. Once outside in the hall, he slammed the door shut before finding something to 'fix' the knob with. Backing off from it, he watched it begin to jiggle.
"Open this fucking door! Right now!" Doflamingo roared. Law could tell that he was beyond pissed. He was probably ready to kill him.
"No. You can stay in there and cool off." Quickly, he rushed back to his room before grabbing clothes for him and Baby 5 into a suitcase he found in the closet. Once that was packed, he dashed out of the room.
Doflamingo was still trying to get the door open. Law made his way to the kitchen. He found Baby 5 trying to mix the batter for pancakes. Grabbing her by the arm, he made her drop the bowl. It splattered onto the ground. "Law, what's going on?" she asked. He could hear the confusion in her voice.
"We're getting out of here. There's no way in hell that I'm staying in the Godforsaken mansion with that disgusting beast." He began to lead her outside. "We're getting out of here. I don't care where we go, but we're leaving."
"Oh. Okay." She followed right behind him. They left the house just in time for the sound of a door breaking happened.
"LAW! I WILL FIND YOU! DON'T YOU WORRY!" That scared him the most.
Deciding not to walk, Law began to run as fast as he could with Baby 5 right next to him. He felt much better with her with him. It made him feel less alone and more comfortable. He didn't know how Baby 5 would react to sleeping in the woods for a few nights.
"Where are we heading?" she finally spoke up after about ten or twenty minutes later.
"Anywhere but there," he stated. Slowly, he stopped running and began to walk. Law felt like they were safe enough to just walk now.
"Are there any waterfalls near here? I would like to know if there are."
"I don't...I don't really know. I haven't been out this far before. This is all new to me." Law nodded. He understood that since the look he saw on her face when they first exited the house. It didn't bother him at all. Mostly because of how Doflamingo treated her.
After hours of walking, Baby 5 dropped to the ground. It made Law turned to her. She was sitting there, groaning. "What's wrong?" he asked. Setting the suitcase down, he kneeled in front of her to see if she was okay.
"My feet are killing me," she complained. Law could see why. She only wore high heels. Running in them will kill your feet faster.
"Here." He got her to stand, grabbed the suitcase in his left hand, and turned around so his back was to her. "Get on."
"Wh-Wha?"
"I'm going to give you a piggy-back ride. Just until we get somewhere to rest." Baby 5 hesitated before agreeing. She climbed onto his back and he grabbed her legs, careful of her leg with the suitcase.
They walked in silence for a little while longer. Baby 5 just rested her head against the top of his back. He was used to carrying Luffy and the others like this. It was what he did when they got too hurt to walk or were too tired to do so. To him, this was no different.
"Who are the people coming to get you?" she asked after about an hour or two.
"They're my bodyguard and friends of mine," he answered. "I'm taking you back with me."
"Why? I don't know much about you."
"You know the one thing that Doflamingo has yet to figure out or even notice about me." He was referring to his gender.
"I see."
They were quiet after that. Law continued to walk until he heard the sound of running water. It shocked him and filled him with hope. Forgetting that Baby 5 was on his back, Law began to rush over to the sound he was hearing.
"Law! Slow down! I'm still on your back!"
Coming to a clearing, Law reveled in the sight of a waterfall with a cave just to the left of it. It was the perfect spot to camp out at while waiting for the boys to arrive. He carried her over to the cave before setting her down in the opening.
"We're going to stay here," he announced. "Until Zoro-ya, Ace-ya, Sabo-ya, and Straw Hat-ya come to get us, we're going to camp out at this spot."
Baby 5 looked around. "Here?" He nodded. "Where will we sleep? Where will we bathe?"
"There's a waterfall right there." He pointed to it. "It will act as a shower and bath for now." Her eyes widened in what he believed was shock. "We'll stay in the cave. It will serve as our shelter and a place to sleep."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I've camped out in the wilderness before. Remember, I have guys as friends." She nodded with a red face. "We would go out and hunt stuff before camping out under the stars or in caves. It's not a big deal with me anymore. I got used to it over time."
"Al-Alright. I guess that it's better than staying with Young Master." Law grinned as he set the suitcase to the side. "What are you about to do?" she asked.
"I'm going to see if there's any fruit nearby. We need something to eat for tonight. I don't know how long it will take for them to arrive." He had an idea on how to get them to figure out where he was. "We're going to need something to eat for tomorrow, too. I'll go fishing in the morning."
"You're amazing. I don't even know how to fish." Law offered to teach her if she stayed in the cave. Baby 5 agreed before he left.
He began to search and examine the area for anything that had edible fruits on it. After a while, he found a blueberry bush, a raspberry bush, an apple tree, walnuts, basil, mint, and a few other things. Law was ecstatic that he found all of the ingredients he did.
"To think, all of these were around here. This is just amazing. This country is so abundant with ingredients. Black leg-ya would be so fascinated to know this." With a big smile on his face, he held onto the bottom of his dress as he walked back to the cave. Law had made the bottom of his dress into a basket since he didn't have one around.
Arriving back where he had left Baby 5, he found her still sitting there. It looked like she was massaging her feet. "Law, you're back," she cheered when she noticed that he was there. He smiled before joining her in the caved. Law laid out what he gathered on the cave floor. "You got all of this?" His smile never left his face. "Is it all edible?"
"Yes. We can eat the fruit like it is or I can make a fire so we can roast them," he suggested. "It depends on how you want to go about it." Law looked out the cave to the setting sun. "I need to make a fire, anyway. We won't be able to see at night if we don't have some sort of light."
"Okay." Law went to the mouth of the cave before picking up some sticks and rocks. He ventured out a little and picked up some dried grass. "What's all that for?"
"I'm making a fire. The rocks are to get a spark so they can set a fire. The sticks and grass are to fuel it." Baby 5 nodded as he began to get to work on making the light that they needed. The woman just watched him as he laid the stick and grass out before striking the rock against each other.
He had to do it a few times before getting enough sparks to start the fire. When the fire was up and roaring, Baby 5 cheered as she huddled closer to it. "It's so warm." Law told her it was because fire always was. "Why is it getting cold?"
"Because the sun is going down. When the sun goes down, places get colder because the sun is what kept it warm during the day." Baby 5 nodded like she understood what he said. Law wondered if she actually did nor not.
They cooked the berries that he gathered. Baby 5 seemed to enjoy them even though he didn't do anything but put them over the fire to cook. Law laughed when she smiled because her teeth were red from the raspberries. It made her laugh along with him.
After dinner, they huddled together. Law was trying to retain body heat for the night. It was going to get cold and he knew that they would need each other since they didn't have anything other than their clothes and the fire. The fire would die during the night, anyway, because they wouldn't be up to fuel it.
Law told her stories of his adventures with the brothers as they laid down and tried to get to sleep. Baby 5 sounded astonished at one of them. It was about the time that they got so close to the Tiger in the forest. She replied that she wanted to see it someday. Law promised to take her to it after she got settled into his place back home.
...
Waking up the next day, Law groaned as he sat up. Arms around his waist made him struggle to open his eyes and look down. Baby 5 had her arms wrapped around his waist. He sighed before removing her from his body.
Getting to his feet, he stretched before walking out of the cave. He couldn't wait for the boys to show up. Law already knew of a way to figure out if they were already there. It was something they had come up with a few years ago.
They came up with it after all four of them got split up. Law had started it and the others found it useful. He had been able to get the three to follow his call to get to him. That was what he was going to try to do.
Cupping his hands around his mouth, he covered one part of his mouth before making the sound. It was the sound of a bird that was indigenous to his country. It hardly ever made a noise. That's what made it a useful call.
Removing his hands from his mouth, he listened for a callback. He had taught the others how to make the call. Sabo and Ace were the only two that were able to master the sound of the bird. After a minute, he heard nothing. "They're not here, yet," he mumbled to himself.
Going back into the cave, he roused Baby 5 from her slumber. He told her that he would teach her how to fish after they bathed in the waterfall. That seemed to wake her up and she agreed.
They dug through the suitcase to find some clothes to wear after their bath. Law had grabbed a few things. Some were Baby 5's and others were whatever Doflamingo bought for him. She picked out a dark blue maid dress while he chose a bright orange dress.
Setting them on the shore of the waterfall, he and Baby 5 began to strip. He didn't feel weird anymore to be naked around a female. It was like getting naked around one or all of the boys now. Plus, he wasn't attracted to her. He thought about that. Maybe not like the boys. I still haven't figured out my feelings for them. More like my sister. Yeah. She's more like Lammy.
Law ran and jumped into the water. He swam back up before laughing. "Come on in! The water's fine!" he called to her.
She looked nervous before doing the same thing he had. Her body splashed into the water and it rained down on him. Soon after, Baby 5 came up, laughing. "That was fun!" she cheered. Law smiled at seeing her having fun.
After they were done with getting their sweat and grim off, they began to have a battle with the water. He splashed water at her, and she did the same right back. They laughed together like old friends. Law was getting friendly with her. Almost as much as the brothers.
Then, he remembered them. His cheerful attitude didn't go away, but it did shrink a bit. Law missed them so much. They always gave him something to do. That was why he liked to hang out with them. Plus, he was beginning to think that he liked them more than just friends but not quite brotherly.
"Law, is something wrong?" she asked. He had his back to the shore but looking away from her.
"I...I miss my friends," he confessed.
"Well, they'll be here soon, right?" Law smiled. He knew that she was just trying to cheer him up. It was a kind gesture for her to do for him.
"You're right. I'm sorry." He looked up at her and found that she was fear-stricken. "Baby 5, is something the matter?"
"So, this is where you two have been?" Doflaminog's voice made him freeze up before turning his head to him.
Immediately, he dunked his body down into the water. He grabbed Baby 5's arm and dragged her down too. "Get the hell out of here!" he screamed at him. "Weren't you ever taught not to spy on women while they're naked?!"
"Yes. I was taught not to do so. But it shouldn't matter if I'm watching my future wife."
"I've already told you before! I don't want to nor will I ever be your wife! I hate you! Get it through that thick skull of yours!" Law turned to the man with his body up to the chin in water. "I don't want to be married to a man that won't listen when he's told no!"
The sound of people shouting in the distance made him stop yelling. Everyone in the area seemed to be quiet. After a minute, he realized who those voices belonged to. Cupping his hands like before, Law made the exact noise as he did earlier.
"What did you just do?" Doflamingo demanded him to answer.
Listening closely, he heard the sound repeated by two voices. He grinned at Doflamingo. "My friends and Zoro-ya are here. I'm leaving and Baby 5 is joining me."
Doflamingo looked pissed off. "You won't get away from me that easily." Without warning, he began to trudge into the water. Both him and Baby 5 screamed as they moved from him.
"ZORO-YA! ACE-YA! SABO-YA! STRAW HAT-YA! HELP! I NEED YOU FOUR RIGHT NOW!" he called to them. They just continued to move further and further away from him.
Suddenly, Law tripped on something under the water and went tumbling into it. A hand grabbed his arm and pulled him up. Once he was a little above the water, he found that Doflamingo was the one that grabbed him.
"PUT HER DOWN!" Then, a foot connected with Doflamingo's face. Law was shocked when he fell back into the water.
It feels me with pride and joy that you all are enjoying the story. Please, let me know what you think of this one. Took me a bit to figure out how I wanted it to go. Anywho, I love you all and have a beautiful day. Tatty-bye!
