Chapter 4: Leaving Lygandia
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece
AN: Fourth chapter up.
One day Luffy had come by himself to see her. "Amy!" he yelled cheerfully. "Hey Luffy, where's Halley?" "With Nami." "Is that ok?" "Yeah, as long as I know where she is." Luffy walked over to her and sat crossed legged on the bed. "Are you all better now?" he asked. "For the most part, the doctor said I can leave tomorrow." "I'm sorry to be so much trouble. I know you must be anxious to leave this island." A wide grin spread across his face. "You're not any trouble, I want you to be completely healed before we leave."
Amy looked at him and smiled. He was such a good friend, all of them were. She had never known friendship like this. Amy had remembered her thoughts about Luffy's eyes. She couldn't believe that she was thinking that in the situation she was in. Amy leaned in closer to Luffy and looked in his eyes. He looked back at her with a blank expression on his face. "Luffy," she said softly. "Hmn?" he said. "You have beautiful eyes," she blushed as she said it. She didn't think that Luffy would respond to her compliment. "You have a beautiful smile," he said back to her grinning. She blushed even more and decided to take a chance.
Amy leaned in closer and pressed her lips to his. His eyes widened and he pulled away immediately. "What was that for?" he asked confused. Amy blushed thinking that maybe she shouldn't have done that. "To say thank you for being so good to me plus I like you," she said blushing more. "I like you too," he said cheerfully. "What?" "You do?" Amy exclaimed very surprised.
"Yeah, I like a lot of people," he said. "I like Zoro and Nami and Usopp and Sanji and you and …." Amy interrupted him, "I get the point Luffy but that's not what I meant," she said sighing. "What did you mean?" he asked. "Let me just show you what I meant," she said. She leaned in and kissed him again letting her tongue slowly slip past his lips. Luffy was very surprised and wasn't sure what he should do so he did what she did and slipped his own tongue into her mouth.
She wrapped her arm around his neck and Luffy wrapped his arms around her waist bringing her closer to him. She slowly leaned back bringing Luffy down on top of her. She kissed him deeper. Amy broke the kiss and looked into his eyes. "Do you understand now Luffy?" she asked him. "When I said I like you I mean I like you as more than a friend." Luffy grinned at her and kissed her again. "Maybe he does feel the same way," she thought to herself. She waited a few minutes before she broke the kiss again. "Luffy, do you feel the same way?" she asked him.
Before he could answer the doctor came into the room and Luffy swiftly jumped off the bed. "Amy," he said. "I looked over your charts and since you have recovered it would be ok for you to leave today instead of tomorrow." "Really?" "That's great, I can't wait to get out of this bed." She pulled the covers back and got out of bed. Amy had been in the hospital for about a week and she was so happy that she could leave. "Don't over do it though, you should take things slow." "Yay, we can leave now!" shouted Luffy excitedly as he jumped up in the air and ran to tell everyone the good news.
Luffy came right back, went over to Amy and pressed his lips to hers letting his tongue twirl with hers. Before she knew it he was out the door, leaving her blushing and smiling. Amy decided to wait outside for him to return. She had spent long enough it that hospital room and she wanted to be outside. She stood for a while watching the people walk by. She turned when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Her blood ran cold. "Hey babe, did you think you could really get away from me?" Her words caught in her throat. How did he find her, he should think that she's dead. "How…" She couldn't finish the question, she trembled all over and tears stung her eyes.
"This is an interesting place isn't it," he said slowly walking around her. "That portal below the cliff was a real surprise, no wonder your body and Halley's body couldn't be found." "Now that I found my way here, I won't stop till I have all of you again." She didn't wait for him to say anything else, she took off running and he chased after her. She would give anything for Luffy to be there right now. Tears ran down her face and if he caught her she wouldn't get away this time. There was no one to save her.
Meanwhile Luffy had found everyone at the ship and told them the good news. "Where's Amy-san?" asked Sanji. "Back at the hospital," said Luffy. "What!" "Why did you leave her there?" "I guess I got too excited and forgot to bring her with me," he said. Nami hit him over the head. "You idiot go back and get her." "Sanji-kun go with him so he doesn't get lost." "Hai Nami-san!" "The rest of us will stay here in case she comes back to the ship on her own."
Amy was still running from him. He was right behind her. He grabbed her shoulders spinning her to face him. "Don't touch me," she said. "My friends…." "Oh I know about them. I saw you get off the ship with them. They can't save you, no one can save you," he said. "What do you know, they're different, Luffy would…." Before she could finish he punched her and dragged her off into an alley. "Who's Luffy?" he asked angry. "You'd better not be cheating on me," he warned. "What business is that of yours!" she screamed at him. He smacked her again. "Don't you ever talk back to me again," he said. "You can't control me anymore!" she yelled.
"Don't you know what happens when you disrespect me?" he said hitting her again. "You are mine and no other guy is allowed to touch you," he growled grabbing her harshly by the shoulder. "Let go of me!" she screamed. He pushed her to the ground and his hands held her shoulders down. He had the most evil smile plastered on his face. "No," she pleaded as his hand crept under her shirt.
"No!" she yelled thrashing out of his grip. "Help! Somebody help me!" she screamed. He put his hand over her mouth. "Shut up bitch, no one will help you," he sneered. She bit his hand so he would let go. "Damn it! Stupid bitch!" he yelled. "LUFFY!" she screamed as loud as she could. "So you are cheating on me, you'll pay for that. And this Luffy character will pay too." "Never, he could kick your ass in a second and he will when finds out what you're doing to me," she said her eyes filled with hatred. "Is that so, well, we'll just see about that."
He forced a kiss on her lips. His hands groped her chest and then slid down to unbutton her jeans. "NO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs hoping someone would hear her. "Shut up!" he punched her trying to knock her out. His hand slipped down her pants touching her. She writhed under his touch. She kept hitting him and trying to get him off her. "Just relax," he said pinning her arms down. "It won't be any worse then the first time." She didn't know when he had crawled off her it seemed like hours.
He stood up and looked down at her. "You really are pathetic," he said. He knocked her around a few times and then walked out of the alley leaving her broken and bleeding. She pulled her legs toward her stomach and hugged herself for comfort. She didn't want her friends to find her like this. She gathered all the strength she could and pulled herself off the ground. She leaned her body against the wall and brought her hand up to her mouth. "Luffy," she said. How would he want to have anything to do with her now? She stood up and peered out of the alley. She didn't see him anywhere she didn't see anyone. She wrapped her arm around herself. She was too terrified to move. "Luffy," she said again crying harder. She sunk back to the ground.
Meanwhile Luffy and Sanji had searched all over the town with out any luck. "Where could she be?" Luffy whined. "She should have been at the hospital." "She probably got tired of waiting," said Sanji. "If you hadn't left her there we wouldn't need to look for her." They were about to go check back at the ship when a choked scream rang out from an alley. "LUFFY!"
Sanji and Luffy knew that was Amy's voice. They ran where the sound had come from. There was Amy on the ground crying hysterically. They were by her side in a second. Luffy put his hand on Amy's chin lifting her head up. "Luffy," she cried. "Amy-san what happened to you?" "Sanji." She cried harder. Luffy softly put his hand on her arm. "No, don't!" She pulled away from him crawling backward on the ground. She was relieved they were here but she didn't want either of them to touch her or get too close to her. "Amy it's ok I won't hurt you," he said. He made an attempt to get closer to her. "Who did this to you?" asked Luffy. Amy looked right at him. She didn't say anything for a while.
"Amy-san you don't have to talk about it if you can't right now but maybe you should go back to the hospital," Sanji said more than concerned. "NO!" "I don't want to s-stay here. H-He'll come after me again. H-He's there I k-know he's there." "Who's there?" asked Luffy. "THE GUY WHO RAPED ME!" she wailed throwing her arms around Luffy. She buried her face in his chest and cried. He put one hand on her head and the other one around her back. "Tell me where he is," said Luffy his voice low. "I-I d-don't know."
"He-He's out there I-I k-know." "I-I k-know he's w-waiting. He-He'll find me." "Whoever did this will pay." "He's right Amy-san, no one will ever hurt you again." Luffy began to pull away from her. "No," she said still holding on to him. "Don't let me go," she pleaded. She didn't want to be alone. Luffy picked her up. "I still think that she should go back to the hospital. She needs to be looked at by a doctor," said Sanji. "No, I can't go please don't make me. I just want to leave here and never come back," Amy said sniffing.
Luffy put her down and looked straight at her. "You don't have anything to be scared of. I won't let him come near you. You do need to see a doctor. I promise you won't be alone not even for a second." "I'm not going," she said looking away from him. "But Amy-san…" "I'm not going! There's no point. It didn't help then and it won't help now!" "What do you mean it didn't help then?" asked Sanji. "Just forget it," she said. She walked out of the alley and headed toward the ship. Luffy and Sanji glanced at one another and then walked out of the alley to catch up with Amy.
The three of them walked in silence. Amy stared straight in front of her letting the tears fall from her eyes. She didn't know how to explain what she was feeling. Why did they care? They hadn't known her for long but she knew that Luffy and Sanji were worried about her. "I don't deserve their kindness," she thought. "Once they find out how much trouble I'll cause they won't want to have anything to do with me." The tears fell harder and she swayed a little as if she was going to faint. Luffy put his hand on her shoulder to steady her. She turned her head to look at him. His face was expressionless. He lifted his hand to her face and wiped her tears away.
When she was able to walk again the three of them continued to walk back to the ship. "There they are," said Nami. When they reached the ship Nami could see that there was something wrong with Amy. Her head was lowered and her face was shaded. She choked backed a sob and lifted her head up. The rest of them would find out what happened sooner or later. "Amy what happened to you?" Nami asked with concern. "It's nothing," Amy said. She avoided their eyes as she climbed back onto the ship. She walked through the kitchen and down to her room. "What happened to her," asked Nami looking at Luffy and Sanji. "It's not our place to say," said Luffy. It was clear that something big had happened. It was obvious that Luffy and Sanji weren't going to say anything about it.
