Chapter 3
On our way to the job, I fell asleep on the window. I woke up to the train abruptly stopping.
"Huh? What's happening?" I rubbed my eyes and looked out the window.
"Where are we?" We were nowhere. There were trees surrounding the train but that was it. No civilization anywhere. I raced my eyed to Lucy and the others and they were gone.
I stood up.
"Hey guys? Where are you?" I yelled silently so I didn't disturb the people around me. But that was weird, no one was around me either.
"Okay this is becoming weird. Stop playing around guys!" I said in slight frustration. I sighed and strolled my way over to the train door. I pushed it open with my palm but it didn't budge.
"Hey! What's going on?! Why can't I get out?" I tried opening it again with all my power but it still wouldn't open. I put my hands on my knees to catch my breath. 'What's happening? Why did the train stop? Where did everyone go?' I jumped back when I felt the door slide open slowly. 'A light?' I shielded my eyes from the light that covered the entire train door. When my eyes finally adjusted to the illumination, I silently stared into the distance.
"Dad?" I said aloud to myself. I saw a figure in the distance and I squinted at the shape.
"Lexy…" It was him! Definitely him!
"Dad!" Tears streamed down my rosy cheeks. I leaped forward off the train but something caught me before I had the chance.
"Dad! Wait I'm coming!" I cried and tried grabbing at him from afar. Something was holding me back and I couldn't break free.
"Lexy!" I gasped and my eyes bugged. Suddenly, the light disappeared and I was staring out of a moving train. The wind violently whipped my hair into my face and tears continued to stream down my cheeks. I looked down and saw a river flowing. 'A bridge?' The train was crossing over a wooden bridge. My mind went hazy and my legs gave out on me. I was falling out of the train into the lake that moved just below us.
"Lexy! Hey!" My body suddenly fell back. I groaned in pain when my back fell on something hard.
"You okay?" That was the sound of Natsu's voice. I didn't answer. Everything was falling apart on me right now. I can't… I just can't!
"DAD!" I screamed on the top of lungs, only hearing the echoes off the mountains passing by. I put my face into my hands and sobbed.
"Daddy…" I sniffled.
"Why did you leave me?" I asked quietly to myself. I felt someone hug me from behind.
"You almost jumped out." It was Natsu. He had his face buried in the arch of my back. I blushed.
"Natsu I'm sorry…" I looked around and saw a whole bunch of concerned and frightened faces.
I looked down at my fingers.
"What happened Lexy?" I looked at Lucy with puffy eyes.
"I-I don't know. I thought I saw my dad right over there." I said pointing out of the train into the forest which now surrounded us like before. They all looked in the direction where I was pointing, besides Natsu. He was laying on the ground with a blue face.
"I'm…so…sick…" Natsu gagged and covered his mouth.
"Are we there yet?" He said slurring his words. I smiled.
"I think we are." I sighed. Lucy walked over to Natsu and sat down next to him. 'There so cute.' I smiled shyly at the thought. Natsu looked up and gave me his famous smile. I smiled back and quickly looked away. 'What is this feeling?' I had no idea what I was getting myself into…
Natsu's P.O.V
She was beautiful with her long brown hair and green eyes. So I couldn't help but smile at her. Lucy put her hand in my hair, it always relaxed me every time she did that. Especially now, that I have motion sickness.
"How are you feeling Natsu?" Lucy spoke softly.
"B-better." I said trying to get up out of the awkward position I was lying in but Lucy put a hand on my shoulder to lay me back down.
"L-Lucy…" I loved her. Even though it seemed as if I didn't but I really did. Just looking up at her right now into her golden brown eyes glittering in the sun pushed me over the edge. I wasn't sure if she felt that same way back but whether the case was, I wasn't planning on telling her just yet. Mating season for dragons is right around the corner and I'm already getting a bit anxious with my hormones.
I flinched when Lucy put her hand next to my cheek. I just stared into your brown eyes.
"Natsu…" She closed her eyes.
"Neh cu bui she banza bak!" Lucy chanted softly. Her hand began to glow into a bright green light. My sickness slowly faded away.
I hopped up to my feet and threw a fist in the air.
"I don't feel sick!" I laughed evilly. Man, being a train really screws me up, big time.
"I'm glad you're feeling better Natsu." I turned to face Lucy and when I did she was right there in front of me. I wanted to kiss her plump lips. They seemed soft to the touch. I grew eager to get a taste of her pink lips but restrained myself from doing so.
"N-Natsu? What is it?" She asked with her cheeks flushing in embarrassment. I turned to the side and grabbed the back of my head.
"I'm just thinking about something…" I lied and grabbed my chin. What was I supposed to say? Hey Lucy, I was thinking about kissing you. Yeah, no. I might get a kick to my face if that happens.
"You lovvvee her." Happy announced allowed.
"Shut it cat!" Lucy said sternly.
"Hey guys. I think were here." Lexy said looking out of the window of the train. I walked up next to her.
"Finally, took us long enough." I said in an irritated tone, crossing my arms and closing my eyes.
"I can't believe who it is!" A deep voice called out from behind me.
Lexy's P.O.V
I turned around from looking out of the train window and saw 3 familiar faces. 'Great, I ran into the perves... what the hell do they want?' One of them grabbed my wrist and pulled me on him.
"H-hey! Knock it off! Let go of me!" I cried. Sahwi grabbed my chin to make me look into his lifeless eyes.
"Not until I get what I want first." I bugged my eyes. And shivered in fear.
"W-what do you want?!" I tried pulling away from his grasp. He pulled me closer to his face.
"I think you already know." He whispered in my ear and trailed a hand up my thigh.
This wasn't good.
Again, sorry for the short chapter! But I hope you liked it!
