LUCY POV
(Morning Natsu finds her note)
I finished packing last night. I've got to leave as soon as possible. If I don't get to my old town by tonight then Fairy Tail is going to be in trouble. They've already helped and cared for me so much. I can't let them get hurt because of me. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if Natsu or any of the others got hurt.
Before I open the door to leave I look over at the window, which Natsu is usually jumping through. I smile then remember that I meant to leave a note. I run over to my big suitcase and pull out a clean piece of paper and my ink and pen. I sit down at my desk for the last time. What to write? I think I'll tell them about the threat, but I know I can't. They will definitely come after me if I do. It's not that I think they all care a lot about me. But I do know that they would never let someone in their guild leave because of a threat. So I just stick with the basics. I tell them that I have to go and that I loved being with them. I also tell them that I am going back to my hometown. I think twice before writing the latter. But I feel like they should at least know where I am going to be headed.
It doesn't take me long to get to the train station. As I bored I think of all the jobs my team and I went on. I can't help but wish I could go on one more. We just got back from a job yesterday. As soon as we arrived back I ran to my house so I could pack everything up. I received the threat during the job. We had to stop a group of thieves in a small town near the sea. We did easily. But when we got back to the hotel that we had been given for the weekend Natsu gave me a note, which had been laying on a bedside table in the room. The whole team watched as I opened the letter, which was addressed to me.
Inside it said,
Hi Lucy,
Act natural when you read this if your friends are around. You probably don't remember me. I am Duke Sawarr, your fiancé. Now that your families property belongs to me I guess I don't need to marry you. But I want to Lucy Heartfilia. You probably don't want to marry me. I'm not stupid. I know what you think of me. So how bout I make a deal with you? You marry me with no fighting back and everything and everyone will be all right. But, if you try to fight back or stay away from me… your friends will die and your guild will be destroyed. Oh and I will make you marry me and be my wife slave after all of that goes down. So… it's your choice. I'm giving you till Friday to meet me at The Hotel Center.
See you there my love,
Signed by yours truly
Just remembering that moment gives me the chills. Of course I tried my best to hide my scared face. But Natsu could tell something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"What? Oh nothing. Nothing is wrong! What are you talking about?" I replied quickly. I stuck the note in my shirt.
"But you look really pale now that you read the letter. Who was it from?" Natsu tilted his head to the side as he waited for me to reply.
"Oh, it was just from an old friend. His mother died." I lied. I hate lying to Natsu but I didn't have a choice.
We got back to Fairy Tail yesterday. Today it is Friday and I have to get to my old home as soon as possible. The train moves slowly. I think about Natsu and how much he would hate riding this train right now. It makes me smile when I think of him. He always makes me smile. It's strange. I've never felt this way about anyone else before. I think I might have feelings for him. But I know I cant. He's my team member and my best friend. I can't feel this way about him. Just thinking about leaving him behind makes me sad.
I walk through the familiar streets that I walked when I was only a child. It's getting dark now. It's probably 6pm. I'm to far away from the big clock near the train station to be sure. I can see the circle in the center of town. The hotel that I am meeting Duke Sawarr at is on the street right next to the circle. I see its lights glowing from across the street. The cheap red florescent letters shine from atop the roof. I walk inside and ask the clerk where Duke Sawarr's room is. He asks me for my name and the business that I have with the duke.
I sigh before saying, "My name is Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia. And I am here to marry Sawarr."
The clerk was expecting me. He hands me a key and tells me that Sawarr is staying on the third floor in room 182. I nod before trudging up the stairs with my suitcase behind me. I'm miserable and lonely and about to meet some guy who I have only met once when I was 10. This week isn't turning out the way I wanted it too.
NATSU POV
(Saturday morning)
I'm up as soon as the light shines through the curtains. When I jump out of bed I land on Elfman (who slept on the floor because he insisted that it was 'man') and knock Happy off of the bed.
"AHH!" Happy screeched when he fell of the bed.
Elfman grunted and sat up. Soon everyone in the room was awake because of the noise. "We need to wake the girls up!" I say when everyone is changed and ready to go. I run out of the room and down the hall. The girls are in room 180. We were in room 172.
After we get the girls out of bed we all run down the three floors of stairs to the lobby. We go to the clerk at the front desk to check out of the hotel. He is smiling a lot and it's really scaring me.
"Are you tourists?" The clerk asks before taking the money Mira hands him.
"Uh, yeah I guess." I really don't feel like making small talk with this guy right now.
"I assume you've heard of Duke Sawarr?" He asks with a smile.
Erza and Mira nod their heads. "Good! Well he is getting married today! Right across the street! He's getting married to a wizard!" The clerk blurts out.
"So, what does that have to do with us?" I ask.
"Well you are all wizards aren't you?"
"Yeah..." Juvia says from next to Gray.
"Well I thought maybe you would know her." The clerk says with a grin.
I hold my breath and try not to think about the possibility that it is Lucy. Could it be that we found her this easily? But could she really be getting married to this Duke guy?
Two POV's in one chapter?! Watch out guys I'm getting wild!
Anywho, hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading!
