Chapter 3| Dragon Breath

Lucy's POV

A huge wave of magic wraps itself—tightly—around my right wrist, pinning me against the hard cold wall, leaving my friends confused with the sudden action. I struggled against the wall, trying to escape the magic, but my magic was being retained by this chain. I try to look at my friends for help, but they were frozen in place—literally. I'm assuming that Gray's magic must've reflected itself and hit them. But soon my theory was changed as I saw a pair of green glowing eyes, as well as a puff of pink appeared, coming closer and closer to me in the dark.

Damn you Dragon Breath.

"You look better tied up than you acting all big and bad, ya know." The male said, stopping in front of me.

I glared at him and sent him a telepathic message, Of course you'd think that, pervert. I rolled my eyes and thought to myself, This is why I officially hate pink right now. And that's my favorite fuckin color.

I smirked slightly, observing Dragon Breath in his red pajama bottoms and black wife beater. "Aww, you just had to reflect Gray's attack. . . Is that payback for freezing your room?"

"Why are you guys underneath my room? I sensed your Celestial Magic from miles away." Dragon Breath argued, changing the subject completely. He eyed me from head to toe as he took quick glances of the entrance to Fairy Heart.

I scoffed, trying to come up with lies that would let us go. "Why do you care? All you Royals just care about yourselves."

He snorted, instantly disagreeing with what I was trying to say. "Not all royals are the same. Not the Dragneel's, at least." He paused and snapped his fingers, causing the restraints from my right wrist disappear. "Listen, if you guys were trying to escape, the least ya could've done was inform me."

I chuckled, showing him how much I cared about what he was trying to prove. "You think we want to be here?" I paused and thought of something that would make him feel guilty about his decision of bringing us here. "Listen, I don't know what your plan is against us VK's, but whatever you're planning, I guarantee you that we'll use every single drop of our magic to beat you—no matter what challenge you throw at me or my friends, we'll beat you into a pulp." I pushed my shoulder towards his, hurting him with my shoulder as I walked away. I stopped midway and snarled, "If you hurt my friends, I swear to your ugly ass pink hair, that I'll personally burn ya into a pile of ash. I swear to you Natsu Dragneel . . . I will kill you if you plan on hurting them and destroy the rest of your family's generation." I said as I snapped my fingers, instantly making Gray's magic disappear—unfreezing them. They followed me as I walked away from Dragon Breath, going back into our room, leaving him underground with the darkness and my words echoing through his head.

Natsu's POV

'I will kill you if you plan on hurting them and destroy the rest of your family's generation.' Lucy's words echoed through my head, leaving me completely still from where I had her. Is that what they really think I'm planning? To destroy them? My fists clench as her words struck me right in the heart. The only reason I brought them into Fiore was because I wanted to give them a chance at a normal life and be away from their evil parents, but instead they think of me as the enemy.

What King I'd be.

Instead of acting like a Prince by welcoming them and asking them what they need, I start flirting with a VK—and I'm dating Lisanna. Who knew that I, Natsu Dragneel, would be so immature. Starting tomorrow I have to go to each of their dorms and talk to them . . . especially Lucy Heartfilia . . .

Lucy's POV

I walk off with my friends following, trying to clear my thoughts from what just occurred. I could feel my eyes burning with sudden rage at the pink haired Dragon Prince, as I replayed the events that just happened. I can't believe I actually said his full name . . . come to think of it, I didn't even know that I even knew his full name. I stop mid-way from walking and turn to face my friends—the people who actually understand me. "Thanks to Dragon Breath, we have to go to school tomorrow and actually go to class."

Gray frowned, knowing something was wrong with me. "What actually happened, Luce?"

I sighed and mumbled, "Let's just get outta here and we'll talk about it in the room. Please?"

I'm guessing everyone agreed since we walked out of Virgo's hole in silence. I never meant to threaten Dragon Boy, but to be honest that was the only way we could escape from his clutches, without him asking any questions. We needed to steal Fairy Heart, Igneel's Flame, and I need to find the key to the Eclipse Gate. Levy closes the hole with a circled shaped door and covered it with a rug that camouflaged with the rest of the room. Lyon and Gray sat on their separate beds and Levy and I stood in the middle of both beds, as I searched for words that wouldn't lead them into getting the wrong idea. Then again, I needed to tell them the truth.

I look at Lyon, Gray, and Levy as I sighed and confessed what had occurred. "Gray, when you tried to attack Dragon Breath, he reflected your magic—making y'all freeze in place, leaving Dragon Breath and I alone."

Gray mumbled angrily as he clenched his fist in anger at the pink haired Prince. "That bastard . . ."

I sighed and continued as I pointed out each and every detail about what happened during the time they were frozen. "When he froze y'all, he said he sensed my magic from miles away, that's what triggered him into finding us down there." I said, leaving out the fact that he tried to flirt a bit. I continued, holding my chin as I thought about a new plan. "I threatened him and told him that we assumed he only brought us here to is to destroy us, and that left him standing and staring at the wall for a couple of minutes. Now, we have to think about a new plan since he has keen senses and—"

Gray spat, choking on his own spit. "Natsu is a Fire Dragon Slayer! I completely forgot to tell you Luce! I'm so sorry."

I waved him off, smiling softly. "It's fine Gray. Besides I asked him about his magic earlier and I completely forgot to research about it."

Lyon smirked slightly as he comes up with an idea. He climbs off os his bed and walks towards Gray's bed to grab one of the electronics that Gray had stollen throughout the day, and brought it to the table near us and opened the 'Chrome' app on the desktop. A search engine called GOOGLE popped up and he typed in the search bar 'Natsu Dragneel, Dragon Prince Of Fiore'. Lyon's results on searching him up, shot up making us all smirk. "I guess the Prince has a sweet spot for food and his weakness is motion and transportation."

Gray smirked widely as he read a small summary of a link. "Guess Flame Brain has an Instagram . . . let's check out his photos!"

Levy moved the cursor and clicked photos, and whole bunch of photos of Dragon Breath showed. Most pictures had him showing off his abs and showing off his 'handsome-ness'. Fuckboy Prince, I thought to myself. I smirked and found one link to a photo that was posted earlier today and said 'ATTENTION: NALI (NATSU AND LISANNA) ARE NOW FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL COUPLE. NATSU CONFIRMED IT BY SAYING 'WE'RE NOT TOGETHER AS A COUPLE, BUT WE JUST HAVE A LITTLE FUN TOGETHER IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN.' PRINCE DRAGNEEL SAYS WITH A SEDUCTIVE WINK.'

Levy smirks as she sees the headline and the guys as well. I looked at the gang and concluded our next plan to take what belongs to the VK's. "Looks like Dragon Boy needs a new girlfriend . . . and I know the perfect person who could do it." My eyes graze over Levy but she immediately glared at me, mentally saying that she already had a boyfriend. I fumed, getting a bit ticked off that my brilliant plan was getting spoiled. "Then who else is going to do it?"

Gray walked closer to me and rests his hand on my right shoulder as he whispers lightly, "Luce, I think you're gonna to do it."

I instantly gagged as he pointed out the truth to me. I gritted my teeth together, trying to show them my anger towards the pink haired dragon boy. "That's a bad idea. Y'all already know that he will get angry."

Gray shrugged, knowing what risk we'd have to take. "I guess you're going to have to explain it to him when we return back to Tenrou, successfully." (A/N: If y'all know who HE is from Tenrou Island and if ya guessed it right . . . then y'all just guessed the MALE character that is going to play Uma. More details in the end of this chapter)

I puffed my cheeks in anger and reveal my spell book, "Fine, but let's transition into the school before we do anything."

Everyone said in unison, "Agreed."

The Next Day: Normal POV

Lucy walks towards her locker, already blowing up with rage from her previous period. Her boots hit the floor furiously, making a trail of her wet shoe prints behind her. She opens her locker door and throws in her Computer Safety textbook as she puffs out her cheeks in rage. Her blonde hair swayed against the wind as she began to shiver, making her curse at her pink leather jacket since it didn't protect her from this weather. She grabs her binder and red colored lead pencil and slammed the locker door as hard as she could. She puffed out her cheeks once more and noticed her locker looked plain.

Gross, she thought. She removed her backpack and revealed her black and red spray paints. She smirked as she began to tag her own graffiti onto the blue colored locker. She began with a fiery, satin, and red background for her tag; then she began to sketch out the black dragon that her mother would take form. She began filling up the details of the black dragon and then colored in the dragon. After her dragon was finished,—and she was satisfied with it—she realized there was something missing that would show every Royal that the VK's aren't scared of them.

She smirked widely as she grabs her pink spray pain bottle and and tags over her drawing, 'Long Live Evil!' She smirked in victory and put away her spray paints back into her backpack and opened her locker once more to grab a cherry flavored lollipop and popped it into her mouth. As soon as she closed her locker door, she heard footsteps heading her way. She shifted her gaze slightly, looking at the disgusting couple make out near her locker, moaning slightly.

Cunts and Man Whores, she thought, always makes a beautiful couple . . .

She shifts her gaze back into her hands as she made her spell book appear and began to look for a spell. The couple beside her was annoying her as they banged onto the locker door and she instantly began to chant, "If I can't have any peace, then this couple might as well be deceased—"

"You should really take off that tag and take your talent and join art." A male said blocking Lucy from destroying her prey, knowing what kind of spell Lucy was going to cast. Natsu smirked as he scanned the locker and her sucking on her lollipop, but a bit disappointed about what she almost casted. He was glad she stopped her, though.

Lucy's nose scrunched up and her eyes began to glow red as she tried to control her rage. "Where's the fun in that?" Lucy smirks and walks away, leaving Natsu to hit her locker door slightly, and stare at the graffiti.

I wonder why she was about to cast that spell, Natsu thought to himself.

Lucy walked away with her boots tapping against the tiled floor as she entered her class. Goodness 101. She rolled her eyes in annoyance as she walked in and sat next to Levy.

"Late, Miss Heartfilia?" Master Mavis asked, standing with a furrow eyebrow.

Lucy chuckled slightly as she said her excuse. "Got lost."

Mavis smiled widely, showing how much she cared about Lucy, "Don't be late again, Miss Heartfilia."

Lucy rolled her eyes and scoffed in sarcasm, "You got that right."

Mavis smiled and turned her back as she began to write things on the chalk board, coming up with some situations that the VK's could answer in the most good-est way. "Alright," Mavis announces as the four VK's look at her speak, but Lucy's attention was taken as she began to sketch out the weapons they needed. "All you have to do is answer the statement by filling in the blanks, but using one out of four answers that determines whether it is good or bad."

Everyone nods, except for Lucy as she draws the Key to the Eclipse Gate.

Mavis nods as she smiles and reads the first statement. "If a Kingdom does not invite you to a Christening, do you; A) Kill everyone B) Decide to put a curse on the child C) Go to the Christening and bring a gift or D) Destroy the Castle?"

Lucy snorts in disapproval at the question, making her filled with rage. But Mavis confused it as Lucy wanting to participate. "Yes, Heartfilia?"

Lucy's upper lip twitches, but Lucy managed a smile to form on her lips, "C."

Mavis nods, agreeing with the answer that Lucy had shared. Lucy's ears began to ring as she heard shoes tapping against the floor, and she instantly turned to see the visitor. Unfortunately, it was a teenager that looked similar to Mavis, but just a male. Mavis smiles warmly as she sees the visitor coming towards her. "Hello Larcade." Mavis beamed.

The blonde haired man smiled as he handed a clipboard to Mavis, showing her that she needed to sign. "You have to make an early dismissal for the coronation and make an appointment with Miss Ultear so she could summon the Key to the Eclipse Gate."

Lucy's smirk began to widen at the mention of the Key. So they're going to use the Key in Dragon Breath's Coronation . . . I guess I'm going to have to destroy the Royals all at once there.

A/N: I will update the next chapter as soon as I can! Now back to what I said earlier. If y'all can guess who 'HE' is, then y'all just guessed who's gonna play Uma in the next book! YES I'M MAKING UMA A MALE IN THIS STORY PLOT BECAUSE WHY NOT? Y'all need to guess and whoever guesses it right, will get a shoutout in the next chapter (If y'all guess it as quickly as possible, If not then maybe the next one after). I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter!

THANKS AND LOVE Y'ALL!
