Lucy POV
With lightning speed Laxus jumped out from behind Salamander. His hands found their way to Rogue's shirt and he shoved him up against the wall.
"Don't hurt him!" I yelled before even thinking. I quickly slapped my hand against my mouth in shock, I was standing up for an obvious enemy of Fairy Tail, Salamander's gonna hate me more than he already does.
Black eyes found mine and I was greeted with the familiar evil smile from my pink haired boss. I hadn't realized until this moment how much I really missed him. How long has it been since I've seen him? "Get up Lucy, we're leaving."
I nodded and weakly attempted to push myself up and onto my feet, but my legs were wobbly and the floor was quickly coming up to meet my unexpected face. I cried out and closed my eyes, bracing myself for the rough blow that was bound to come.
The momentum of my fall was suddenly stopped when big hands grabbed hold of me. I opened my eyes and cocked my head to the side to see who had saved me from falling. I was more than surprised to find Orga holding onto me, his eyes watching Salamander. Around us stood Rufus, Dobengal and shockingly Minerva.
I smiled at them all when Orga set me back on my feet, yet still keeping one hand on my shoulder to steady me. They were all so nice to me, I could never repay the kindness they've shown me.
"Don't touch her," Salamander growled from a few feet in front of me and my small posse of enemies. His eyes were squinted, his fists balled up at his sides and the smile that was there just moments before was gone.
Orga glared back and asked, "Did ya want me to just let her fall?"
I looked from Salamander to Orga and internally laughed. Why was he so mad? I'd never have a thing with a big goof like Orga, he was more like a brother figure than anything. He, Rufus and Dobengal had kept their distance from me in that way.
Salamander started taking long strides toward us. Once he stood in front of us, he held up his hand over his head and snapped, his eyes never leaving mine.
I looked behind him and watched Erza and Elf-whatever walk into the small house. Erza had a long sword in her hands and she had it pointed in our direction and the white haired man had one fist balled up that he repeatedly pounded into his other palm. They both had a look of determination in their eyes.
Salamander quickly ducked down slightly and next thing I knew I was balanced on his shoulder and he was walking away with me. I couldn't help the small screech that escaped my body, I was still a little sore and he had forcefully picked me up, so I was in more than a little pain.
"Wait," A small voice called out before Salamander could walk away with me. "We arn't gonna fight you, I want you to take her. Take her far away from this place, please?"
I pushed on Salamanders muscled shoulders and propped myself up so I could look for the source of the voice. Everyone had their eyes on Rogue so I followed their lead.
Laxus slowly moved back and let go of Rogue's rumpled up shirt. He looked as confused as the rest of us, well except me. I knew Rogue wanted me out of here, I could see it in his eyes every time Sting hit me.
"Rogue," I breathed.
His eyes met mine momentarily and he gave me a sad smile. I tried to smile back but the air was knocked out of me when Salamander jumped so he could get a better hold on me. He had one arm draped across the back of my legs and he turned so I wasn't looking at Roue anymore.
"Why should I trust you?" Salamander sneered at Rogue.
I couldn't see what Rogue was doing, but based off of the sarcastic tone he used I was almost positive he was rolling his red eyes. "You shouldn't. But when It comes to Lucy, I want her safe. And the only way she'd be safe is if she's away from here."
"Why the fuck do you care so much?" Salamander's voice rose. I started punching into Salamanders back, my rib cage and stomach both were really sore and it was a real pain to have his shoulder digging into me. Not to mention, he was being rude. So he needed to be hit. "Lucy, stop it!" Salamander ordered sharply.
Rogue had a hint of laughter in his voice when he answered, "She's a good friend. Now go, before Sting comes ou-"
"We're not done here, we need to find Ever," Elfman yelled. His face started going red and he looked at me and Salamander, his voice somehow going louder, "Boss, I'm not leavin' till I get her back!"
Salamander sighed loudly, "Oh, shut yer fuckin' mouth! We got what we came here for," Salamander moved slightly, making me rock back and forth, "now let's go. Rogue's right, we were lucky Sting's not here."
Erza nodded and Elfman looked down, both of them moved to stand near Salamander. We all started toward the door, but we're stopped in our tracks from one measly sentence.
"What the hell is the ruckus out there?" Sting's voice called from the other side of the house.
My heart started racing with fear and I laid my head down on Salamanders back, silently praying we could magically disappear. I don't want to see him.
Rogue's voice calmed me, "Nothing, Sting. I've got it handled."
I felt Salamander's body relax below me, then we were off again. We stopped at the door entrance and Rogue quietly muttered, "Take care of her."
I couldn't see what Salamander did, but I imagined him nodding with a sweet smile on his face. I'm not the most realistic person.
I felt cool air hit my bare arms, indicating we were outside. So I looked up and found Rogue and the other Saber friends I've made standing there watching us leave. I couldn't stop the painful tear that fell from my bad eye.
Salamander POV
Everything went smoother than I expected. We were now walking down the street- Laxus leading, Erza and Elfman behind me and Lucy and I in the middle. She was lighter than normal which seriously worried me, she'd been gone for weeks and she looked terrible.
When I first walked in I had to fight the urge to lose my shit at the sight of her, she was paler than usual, she had disgustingly dark bags under her swollen eyes and her bones were protruding. And when we locked eyes, my stomach rolled with disgust. She had two black eyes, one was obviously worse than the other, her lip was swollen and cracked with a little bit of blood still running down from it, and obvious hand marked shaped bruises covered her arms and wrists. She had clearly taken a few beatings.
Lucy now laid limply over my shoulder, I could feel her head hit my back with each step. She must've fallen asleep already.
God I was so disgusted with her. Why the hell would she let him do this to her? Why couldn't she just stay with me and Fairy Tail? Stay with Wendy. She just had to go 'have fun.' Yeah, seems like she had a little too much fun, I snickered in my head.
I had a small urge to throw her ass on the ground and make her walk back to the apartment, just to show her I'm not here for her anymore. But something stopped me.
"Uh, Boss?" Erza spoke from behind me.
Without turning my head or losing the rhythm of my step I hummed, "Hm?"
Erza quickened her steps so she could fall into step next to me. She looked over and whispered, "Lucy looks terrible."
"Yeah, she does."
"No, I mean, like worse than she did when we left. She looks like she's... in pain or something," Erza nervously informed me.
I rolled my eyes and nodded. "What do you expect? She got her ass whooped by Sting a few times... Is she suppose to feel good after that?"
Erza looked down at the ground and shook her head. She muttered, "Never mind..."
I looked ahead of us and saw the projects coming into view. We were almost there, hopefully Wendy isn't around. I don't want her to see Lucy until someone cleans her up.
"Oi," I called out, addressing everyone around me. "If anyone asks, I did this myself. No one knows of the details of how we got Lucy back."
They all said yes in agreement before a silence fell over all of us. We didn't speak again until we got to the building. Laxus started with saying he had a date to go to, so he left. Then Elfman just said bye, not bothering to give anyone an explanation for his absence. He was obviously pissed that we didn't get his girl back, but he needed to be patient. I had confidence that she was still alive, maybe not well, but alive. And he needed to believe in me. We needed to take one step at a time.
Erza still stood near me and she offered, "Do you need help with Lucy?"
I nodded and started walking into the dark building. The sun had set while we walked, making me tired. I yawned and walked up the stairs, calling behind me, "Will you clean her up for me? I think Mira already left and Cana's not great with things like this."
"Of course." Erza agreed, still walking behind me.
Once we reached the apartment, I opened the door and quickly made my way to my bedroom. Before fully stepping in, I peaked my head in and looked around. I still didn't want Wendy to see her.
I found it empty so I quickly walked through, then gently flipped Lucy back over my shoulder, placing her on the bed. Without a second glance at her, I walked back out of the room and to the livingroom. I nodded toward Erza on my way out, silently telling her to go and do her thing, before plopping down on a chair. I let my head fall down on the table and I slowly sucked in a breath.
I felt so confused. I hated Lucy for what she did to me and Wendy, and for what she did to herself. But I also felt bad for her. I knew she needed someone to lean on, but can I be that person?
Absolutely not.
I can't just forgive and forget because she went through some shit. She's gonna have to take care of herself. I'll help her by taking care of Wendy and keeping Sting away, but besides that I don't want to even see her. I should move her to another apartment. Or I should go to another apartment and let her, Wendy and Erza stay here 'till she gains her footing again.
I don't know how much later it was, but Erza's walked out of the room so I lifted my head and turned around in the chair so I could see her. Erza ran her hands through her scarlet hair and whispered, "Uh, Salamander. I need to go get Lucy some...feminine products. I'll be back soon."
I nodded and watched her walk out of the apartment, leaving me alone with Lucy.
"Well, might as well make sure she's okay.." I said to myself as I stood up. There was no need for an excuse, but I didn't want to admit to myself why I was really going in there.
I crept toward the door then slowly twisted the doorknob, trying to be as silent as possible. I had nothing nice to say to her so I wanted to catch her while she slept. The door creaked as it opened so I stood still for a moment. I could see her blonde hair in the darkness, it shone like a light, yet the rest of her blended in with the night. I could hear her shallow breaths fill the air. They almost seemed labored and I panicked for a second because I thought about all of the possible things that could be wrong with her.
Then she groaned. I didn't even have a thought pass through my head, I was instantly next to the bed. I knelt down beside her and watched her as she stirred in her sleep. She didn't seem to be waking up so I let out a breath i didn't know I was holding.
My eyes traced the dark outline of her face. She really did look terrible, it was disgusting. I've met a lot of addicts in my days but she looked the worst by far. If cocaine didn't make me so much money I'd hate it with every fiber of my being. It destroyed such a beautiful person, and I indirectly did this same thing to so many other people.
"Natsu..." Lucy breathed. I focused back on her eyes and found them watching me. Only one was visible, the whites of it sticking out through the dark. Her left eye was filled with blood so it was too dark to see.
When did she wake up?
I laughed and backed away from her a little. "I told you, don't say my name, dummy."
She ignored me and croaked out, "Natsu you... you saved me."
I rolled my eyes and sat down on the floor. She turned her body to face me as I said nonchalantly, "I didn't do it for you, Wendy needs you around. So you better straighten up, if not for you-do it for her."
Lucy nodded and cringed as a tear streamed down her face, lights from the outside shinning in it. "It hurts, Natsu. Please make it stop."
"What hurts?" I asked, straightening my back.
Lucy closed her eyes and cried, "My...stomach... so much pain."
So she had a stomach ache? Nothing a nice glass of water couldn't fix.
I jumped to my feet and asked, "Nauseous? Want something to drink?"
She shook her head moved her hand to cup her stomach. I watched her hand move down and I noticed how bloated her abdomen looked. She must be having serious period cramps or something. I can't do anything to help that.
"I feel like knives are stabbing into me, please make it stop," Lucy sobbed into the pillow. Her hands were twitching, her hair was damply pressed against her temple and she had tears streaming down her narrow face.
I walked closer to the bed and sat down next to her. I pulled the sheet from her and let my hand lay on hers. I could feel heat radiating from her, yet she shivered. She must have a fever, probably nothing too serious considering her bodies getting the drugs out.
Lucy was wearing only a large white T-shirt(that was probably mine-thanks Erza...) but something dark was covering the back of the shirt. Now that my eyes had gotten used to the dark I could see the bed was covered in something too.
I looked back up to her scrunched up face and withdrew my hand. I warned her, "I'm gonna turn on the light real quick, keep your eyes closed."
She groaned her approval and did as I said.
I stood up and walked around the bed to the lamp. After clicking the button over, the room was illuminated with bright light. I was blinded for a moment so I closed my eyes and waited a few seconds before opening them and turning to look at Lucy.
I gasped loudly when I found Lucy covered in what could only be blood. But this didn't seem normal, Erza had just told me that Lucy had her period, why was there so much? I was with Lisanna for a long time and her periods were never this bad. Yes she may have leaked through her underwear or whatever through the night, but it never got past the sheets.
Without taking my eyes off of Lucy, I pulled my phone from my pocket and started dialing. After a few rings, Erza's voice came through, "Boss?"
"Erza, there's blood everywhere... Is this... normal?" I asked quickly.
Erza's voice sounded frantic when she asked, "What do you mean blood everywhere?"
"Lucy, my bed.. everything's covered in blood."
Erza barked into the phone, "Get her to the hospital now, I'll be right there."
