"Good for you Lucy!" The two were sitting on Lucy's bed, talking. "I just feel kind of queasy about that idea. Not that I doubt your strength! I think you can battle Lisana in a one on one fight and win, I just think that it's not going to be one on one. She can manipulate people in ways you could never imagine."
"I know Natsu, but if I want to fight for you, I have to do it by myself. No matter what the circumstances are." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and went to sleep.
Damn it! Natsu thought. She can't do that by herself! Ok, if she looks like she needs it, I'll help her. Yeah, that will do.
He rolled over on his side so he could face Lucy. She was turned away from him. He wrapped his arms around her, kissed her, and held her so tight she could barely breathe.
"Natsu, I'm not going to disappear." She chuckled. "I don't know that for sure, and until I do, I'm not letting go." He said. They soon fell asleep.
"It's almost like we're a family, don't ya think?" "What do you mean?" Natsu asked. "Well, I'm the mommy, your the daddy, and this is our baby that hasn't been born yet!" "Yeah, I guess so." "Maybe someday, I could be your real wife..."
Natsu shot up. He was breathing heavily. "Just a dream he whispered." He layed down on his back and attempted to fall back asleep, as if that was going to happen.
"Wouldn't it be nice if we could stay like this forever?"
...
"It's almost like a blue bird of happiness!"
...
"If I ever went missing, would you look for me?"
...
"Don't worry Natsu, I'll be home real soon!"
Lisana. Natsu thought. What happened to you? He looked over at Lucy and saw her sound asleep. I'm so sorry I dragged you into this Lucy. Natsu checked the time. 4:30. "I have an hour and a half to either sleep, or guard Lucy." He took one more look at Lucy. "Guard Lucy."
For an hour and a half Natsu watched Lucy like a hawk. She was still asleep, facing away from him.
5:59. It was about time to wake Lucy up. "Lucy. Lucy, it's time to get up now." Natsu turned her over to find that she wasn't there. It was a pillow and a wig. Natsu stared, wide eyed at her decoy. He ripped off the blankets.
More pillows.
"N-no." He said in a shaky voice. "No!" He punched the decoy. "No! I watched her. I-I've been watching her." Natsu threw on his clothes and ran out the door.
He burst through the guild hall's doors. "Lisana!" He yelled. She wasn't there. He walked over to Mira. "Mira, where is Lisana!" "Calm down Natsu, I haven't seen her." Mira said. "Damn it!" He hit the counter.
"She took Lucy, Mira! That's why I need to find her!" Natsu said. Mira's face went dark. "She what?" Mira said. She went around the counter and she left the guild hall. As she left she went into her demon form. "Dont worry Natsu, I'll take care of this."
Wendy walked up to Natsu. "Natsu..." She said, tears dwelling up in her eyes. "What is Lisana going to do to Lucy if we don't find her in time?" A tear escaped from her eye. Natsu looked down at Wendy. His eyes told her what was going to happen. She gasped and covered her mouth.
"No..." Wind started building up around her. "Carla!" Carla flew over and picked her up. "No! Wendy! Where are you going?!" Natsu yelled. "To find Lucy!" Wendy replied, and she flew off.
The whole guild was staring at Natsu now. "Natsu." Cana started to say. "Natsu, you know all of us are more then willing to help you look for her, right?" Natsu fell to his knees, he was completely exhausted.
"I know."
"Then let's go." She reached out her hand to help him up. He grabbed hold and she pulled him up. "Everyone! Lucy has done so much for all of us! It's time for us to give back! Let's go save Lucy!"
There was a roar of approval and everyone ran out of the guild to search for Lucy.
"Natsu..." Lucy said. Her face was wet from crying and her hands and legs were cut from the ropes they were incased in. "Where are you?" "Ah ah, I thought I said no talking." Lisana said, cracking her knuckles. Lucy's eyes went wide. "No, please, not again... AHH!" Lisana hit her with all her strength. Lucy fell on her side, crying. "Please Natsu, I can't do this alone. I'm not strong enough."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I know what you're thinking, "Lucy said she could take care of herself and she didn't want Natsu to save her anymore." That is true, but no matter how much she wants that to happen, she doesn't have a choice now. Anyways, right after I post this chapter, I'm going to make a new story, so go check that one out when it's up.
