Next chapter enjoy.
Lily woke Levy in the middle of the night nudging her, she pushed him away sleepily at first but he kept nudging her.
"What is it Lily?" she asked, Lily growled jumping over her to the window then back off the bed to the door, Levy yawned sitting up. Maybe Lily is hungry, Levy thinks standing she didn't have any meat in the room but she had some grapes, Lily liked grapes, she went over to her dresser were Lucy had left a bowl of fruit including grapes for her, she picked some and held them out to Lily.
"Here you go, do you want some grapes?" she asks Lily growls back at the door and jumps back over to the window and growls again, what was with him?
Levy heard something fall outside, it wasn't noisy but she walked closer her chain rattling she heard very light footsteps, was someone outside? Lily stood in front of her and growled as her door was kicked open, she almost screamed but Lily knelt down growling protecting her, the intruder seeing this was about to attack.
"No!" she yelled throwing the grapes in her hand at the attacker and throwing herself over Lily to protect him.
"Please don't hurt Lily!" she begged, the man she could see from the light of the moon streaming through her window.
"I have no need to hurt the cat princess" the man says and suddenly kneels to her, Lily lets up his protective stance.
"My name is Laxus, Princess I am a member of the bandit band Fairy Tail we oppose your uncle and all he has done to this kingdom"
"What do you want?" Levy asks finding her voice, he looks up to her eyes.
"To take you away before you can be sold off, you are the princess of Fiore and to many, the rightful Queen" Levy didn't know what to say trapped in the beautiful man's eyes, no man had been anywhere near her, except the guards who's faces were wrapped in hiding in years, except her uncle and all were threatened with castration should they as much brush against her.
Levy didn't know what to do, she didn't want to be married to the rich stranger but she was also terrified to leave, she'd been a resident of these walls her entire life, she had never so much as left the town, she didn't know what was out there and she didn't know if she could trust this bandits words, she read a lot she knew bandits where supposed to be bad, but maybe he was like Robin Hood a friendly bandit that did good against evil.
"I can't leave, I'm chained" she says looking to her ankle, he too sees her chain glinting in the light, his eyes narrowed.
"How long are you chained up?" he asked.
"Always, for two years" she says, he almost growls but instead stands, Levy holds one arm over Lily to keep him with her, three others suddenly enter the room and Levy moves back on the ground.
"It's alright Princess these are my teammates, Freed, Bixlow and Evergreen"
"Princess" a green haired man bows, Levy assumed him to be Freed, Bixlow also bowed he was wearing armour a strange thing in the desert capital and Evergreen was wearing a tight green corset and short skirts, with lace shoes around her legs, she curtsied to Levy.
"Princess" she said respectively, Levy stands, Lily beside her.
"My uncle is the only one with the key, I can't leave" she tells Laxus.
"We don't have time" Bixlow says softly, Laxus nods.
"Sorry princess we'll get the chain off later but for now I'm going to cut it alright?"
"My leg?!" she asked astonished.
"No Princess the chain link" Laxus says with a soft smile, pulling out a very large sword, Lily growled a little.
"Shh" Levy soothed him.
"It's alright Lily" she told him Lily sat watching, Laxus was aiming for just beside her.
"Don't move Princess" he says she nods and he swings, the sword cutting straight through the chain into the floor, Levy moves away even though she was still had a chain around her ankle she felt freer than she had in years, she couldn't help smiling and almost crying in relief.
"We need to go now, longer we're here the longer we're likely to be caught" Evergreen says.
"Lily comes with me" Levy says leaving no room for argument, Laxus almost rolled his eyes but at least she wasn't demanding clothes or jewels or something ridiculous just her pet, and obvious friend.
"Alright, Bixlow you carry the cat" Laxus orders.
"Ah, is he going to eat me?" Bixlow asks.
"No, he's never hurt anyone" Levy assures him, patting Lily behind his ears.
"Be good to Mr Bixlow" Levy tells him, Lily rubs his head in her hand and pads over to Bixlow, suddenly an alarm sounds.
"Damnit Natsu that brat! Can't do anything right!" Laxus swears, Levy was about to say something when Laxus steps over to her picks her up and slings her over his shoulder, his arm holding her legs.
"Forgive me Princess but we need to leave" he says walking over to her window and looking down.
"We're going to jump" he says climbing up, Levy keeps her head down knowing better than them the width and height of the window.
"You do know we are two hundred feet up?" Levy inquires, she can hear Laxus's smile in his voice.
"Don't fear Princess we know what we're doing"
"Oh reallyyyyyyyy…" the rest of her sentence is pulled away as the man jumped from the palace window.
I hope everyone is still enjoying this, review how you feel!
