Summary: Such a carnal thrill of the hunt is too electrifying for words; especially when a fire demon sets his sights on a celestial maiden who's more-than-willing to be his prey. What seems to start off as a random dream for Lucy quickly escalates into far more- sizzling territory. New ficet which will eventually combined into upcoming chapters for TDDW along with other fics. First two chapters are entries for Nalu week 2020. (Nalu/Endlu-centric and semi-au/canon divergent)
Chapter 1: Surrender
A/N: Hey peeps, how's it going? It's your girl MillennialStarGazer coming at ya with yet another project and one of my entries for Nalu week 2020! Said entry happens to be the first two chapters chapter of a new semi-au and cannon- divergent ficlet which just so happens to be Nalu/Endlu-centric for your reading pleasure! Fun fact: I'm hoping to eventually consolidate this into a larger part of upcoming chapters for The Draconic Demon Within (TDDW) along with Once Upon A Midnight Terror's Dreary and Coy, Feminine Wiles fic! (In simplified terms: Both When A Celestial Prey Dreams, OUAMTD, and Coy Feminie Wiles will be combined into other upcoming chapters for TDDW). Just a helpful hint: The entire plot of (WACD) is set in Lucy's dream (which will help readers make sense of the font legend below). Anyways, special thanks the amazing mannyegb for helping me edit and further edit this chapter as a a beta!. Oh and a shoutout to bmarvels for connecting us and phoneboxfairy for her contributions too! Now without further ado, here's the story-enjoy!

"Surrender
I know you are hiding here
Come, my dear
You can hide in the night
while I'm waiting here, all alone
Surrender, and we can disappear
Come, my dear"
(The Birthday Massacre: Surrender)
"Lucy?!"
Lucy zipped through the forest thicket of trees with a racing pulse like a bat straight out of hell from the sound of Natsu's all-too-familiar voice.
Shit, shit, shit...
Ragged pants, the startled cry of birds scattering throughout the canopy above her, along with a distinct flap of wings; the crunch of woodland brush underfoot... All unmistakable signs of a woman on the lam from the most notorious dark guild of all time —Tartaros.
Can't stop...gotta keep moving…..gotta...keep….running...
"Lucy— come out, come out, come, come out wherever ya' are! You know I'd never hurt you, sweetheart".
The fire demon's appealing voice beckoned the celestial wizard-like an irresistibly dark siren call. Why was she fleeing from him, exactly? Too difficult to recall.
Not that I'm in any real danger with Natsu around. Mavis knows he'd never harm me intentionally.
"Where are you? Hmm...I can smell your scent but don't see you. Damn shame, too."
God …..the magnetizing power behind the dragon hybrid's words alone!
"Just surrender, yeah?"
Damn are those words tempting… Lucy mused with an internal sigh of reluctance. Desperately, she wished to heed Natsu's call, even turn back ; especially seeing how the magnetic pull of the mating bond almost drew the celestial wizard back towards him; like some kind of invisible tether with an unmistakable gravity that neither could deny.
Only natural seeing how that happens if we're apart for too long even for a short while — what with the intense emotional element of the whole special, unique, and unbreakable bond thing and all that. Still gotta keep moving though.
Of course, it was that very same pull that would inevitably lead Natsu in the general same direction as her.
That and my scent too. Not that this bothers me.
"Shit... Are you hurt, Luce?" Natsu called out again, voice tinged with alarm. "Been catching whiffs of your blood here and there but that scent is really strong now."
It is? I mean did.. I? Oh right, that bleeding gash on the back of Lucy's hand from a sharp and jagged branch that sliced her skin open as a result.
Must've happened when I was pushing past to get by earlier. Damn…..how did I forget that?
"Lucy, you hear this right?" E.n.d's voice echoed inside the summoner 's mind this time— a major telepathic perk of the couple's said mating bond.
"Wait…..what am I talking about? Of course you do... I can sense it. Either way, that blood has me worried. Doesn't smell like there's too much but please answer or give me a sign to confirm you're okay."
"I am." Lucy was tempted to reply back if only to ease the protective demon's concerns and fears. "Just got a gash on my hand, is all. It'll be fine with some stitches and minor treatment.
But...I shouldn't. And yet she didn't respond, couldn't for some inexplicable reason; Every fibre, every cell , every instinct screaming to give some kind of a sign; maybe wait and take a brief pause for a few minutes. Hell— just Let herself be swept up in the purser's arms once he caught up for gods' sake— so much less hassle that way!
I do need to slow down and catch my breath at some point. Not to mention, do something about my hand before I wind up passing out from too much blood loss. Dam- do I really wish I had some bandages on hand...
Still, the possibility of those other Tartaros underlings— say Jackal or Tempester for instance- also being hot on the celestial wizard's trail didn't exactly sit right; which was the fear that drove her forward.
Just gotta keep going...
A/N: See you in the next chapter!
