Enjoy!
Huh?
What happened?
I was attacked then... a man came and...
What was that thing?!
Lucy snapped her eyes opened, jumping from her sleep into a sitting one but then remember,
"Ahh! Ow!" Lucy winced as her left hand automatically went to the sharp pain on her side. Lucy eyes trailed to her wound that was covered in white bandages that went around her waist. That's when she noticed that...
She was only in her bra.
"Waaa?! Where's my shirt?!" Lucy pulled the blanket that pooled on her lap up to her chin with both hands and her knees close to her chest.
"You're up. Good, now that stupid brat can leave me be. I don't know how you put up with him on a daily basis."
Lucy jumped from the voice and turn to see an elderly lady with pink hair and red eyes.
Pink... like the one last night?
"W-who was you?" Lucy asked nervously.
"Is that anyway of saying 'thank you' for saving your life?!" she suddenly snapped.
Lucy let out an 'ep', squeezing her eyes shut and pulling the blanket higher, before quickly saying, "Thank you so much for saving my life!"
"Hmph!" the lady turned her head away for Lucy with crossed arms.
"U-um, how did I get here?" Lucy tried a different question.
"Natsu brought you here."
"Natsu...?"
That name sounds familiar...
the door then slammed open making them jump.
"Luce! You're awake!" a male with spiky pink hair, dark onyx eyes and tan skin beamed with happiness. He wore a black suit with a red button-up dress shirt with the first one undone. His black tie was done lazily around his neck and his jacket was opened. It was a nice suit but was worned out and dirted.
"God Natsu! Don't make such a racus here! She just woke up!" the woman yelled at the one she called Natsu and throwed a dust pan at him, hitting him square on the side of his head and making him fall to the floor with a yelp.
"Gaar! What'd the hell you do that for?!" he yelled holding his right hand on his head in a sitting position using his left hand to keep him up.
"Shouldn't you be somewhere else?! Let the girl rest then you can talk to her about whatever you wanted to tell where WHEN you leave!" she yelled back.
Natsu pouted at her looking very child-like.
"Natsu..." Lucy let the name slip her, catching their attention.
Lucy then again recalled the little bit of pink she saw before passing out, "You're the one... that brought me here?"
He then grinned at her, showing off his pearly white teeth with cannises longer than normal "So you remembered! That's good, I was afraid you'll forget, Luce."
"How do you know my name?"
"Huh?"
"Don't play coy! You've said my name... three times? Yea, three times now and I've never meet you in my life! And you're saying it wrong! It's Lucy!"
"Well, you just told me your name, Luce" he grinned.
"It's Lucy!"
"Luce."
"Lucy!"
"Luce."
"Lucy! Lucy! LUCY!"
...
...
"Lucy"
"It's Luce! No Wait!"
Natsu bursted out laughing as Lucy's face reddened in angry. He got up for the ground, still laughing a bit, and went on her left.
"Anyways, how are you feeling?" he asked genuinely concerned.
"I'm fine but you never answered my question" she frowned.
"I'll tell you later" he smiled then pulled up a wooden chair, turning it around so that the back faced the front but he sat facing her placing his hands, crossed, on the edge.
"What do you think you're doing? Leave so she can sleep!" the woman said.
"Nah, you go ahead and do whatever it is you do. I'll watch her to make sure she's alright" he replied looking at the woman.
"No, out!"
"Please..." he looked at her with sad pleading eyes and a frown.
The woman stayed quiet for a while before saying "Fine but don't make any noise!" she turned and before she walked out the door, Natsu grinned saying "Thanks!"
Once the door was closed, Lucy looked at Natsu "Who is that woman?"
"Her name is Porlyusica. She's one of the best doctors I know!" he grinned at her before adding, "Get some rest. I'll wait until you wake to take you back home" Natsu mumbled as he placed his head in his hands.
Lucy wanted to ask more questions but she still felt exhausted from what happen less then 24 hours ago. At least she hoped so...
"Luce?! Wake up!?" Natsu yelled shaking her by the shoulders.
"What?!" Lucy jumped awake from the sudden roughness.
"There's this weird ringing sound and it would go away! It's driving me crazy! What the hell is it?!" Natsu asked irritated.
"Huh-?"
*Rinnnng Rinnnng Rinnnng~!*
"My phone!" Lucy gasped and reached down in her pants' pocket to get her iphone.
"It's Levy" Lucy noticed as she looked at the caller's ID, "Hello?"
"Lu-chan! Thank God! Where are you?! Are you okay?! What's going on?! Why haven't you've been in school for three days?! Why aren't you home?! What-"
"LEVY! BREATHE!" Lucy shouted at the phone. She had the phone at least a foot away from her ear as Levy's shouting was so loud that it sounded like Lucy accidently put it on loud speaker.
She heard Levy take a deep breath in and let go.
"Better?" Lucy asked placing the phone by her ear again.
"Lucy where are you?" Levy asked worried, "You missed three days of school and haven't even called. Your neighbours said that they haven't seen you come in or out and thought you were with a friend-"
"Three days?!"
It was now Levy's turn to move the phone away from her ear with a whince.
"Yea, three days. Where-"
"Why the hell is this rectangle talking?!" Natsu snatched the phone out of Lucy's hand and holding it like it was something from another planet.
"Hey! Give it back!" Lucy yelled trying to snatch the phone back but he moved it look at it with wonderment and suspicion as he had his left hand on Lucy's head, keeping her still, as she tried to get up.
"Hello? Lu-chan?" Levy asked for the other end and Natsu place the phone by his ear, copying Lucy but still wasn't holding it a little wrong.
"Hello mystical talking thingie. Hey, by the way, why are you so skinny? Do you need food or something? Was Luce not feeding you and eating all the food herself?"
"Hey! Give it back dammit!" Lucy yelled, pushing his hand off her head and grabbing the phone back.
"Levy-chan? Sorry about that, he-"
Lucy was cut off by a squeal of delight and both, Lucy and Natsu, winced at the high pitch noise.
"Oh My God Lu-chan! Why didn't you tell me you were with a guy?! I'm your best friend for goodness sake!"
"What?! No! It's not like that! I just-!"
"Put him on! I want to talk to him!"
"No!"
"Oh come on Lu-chan!" Levy whined.
"No! I'll talk to you later! Bye!"
"Lu-"
Lucy cut off the call with a sigh then looked angrily at Natsu.
"Look what you did!" Lucy yelled at him but he didn't respond.
"Uhm... nice shirt..." Natsu had a light pink blushed on his face as he stared at her 'shirt.'
Lucy looked down then blushed scarlet red, like Erza's hair.
"Kyaaa! Don't look!" Lucy yelled covering her chest with her left hand and slapped him on his face with the right.
"Ow! That hurt!" Natsu yelled at her, holding his left cheek.
"It was supposed to! And why didn't you wake me up soon?! I have a life, you know!" Lucy covered herself with the blanket.
"Oh really? I haven't noticed!" he said sarcastically "Also, why the hell was that rectangle-box thing talking?!"
"My phone?" Lucy looked at him weirdly "You're kidding?"
"Don't look at me like that! You're the one who's talking to a box! A BOX! And it talked back!" He looked at her with a crazy expression.
They stared at each other for a while before Lucy bursted out laughing.
"What the hell Luce?! Are you crazy now?!"
"Stop calling me that!" Lucy yelled and used her right hand to grab him by his red dress shirt, as it seemed he took the jacket off while she was asleep, "Stop stalling and tell me who the hell you are and why'd you know me!" she demanded.
Natsu let out a frustrated growl and closed his eyes.
"Why do you have to make this so difficult on me Luce" he looked back at her in her eyes but then
His eyes flickered red.
Lucy hand feel from her grip on his shirt as she stared at him wide eyes, "Did I just see... red?" she asked slowly.
"Hmm" he hummed and blinked his eyes, making it go red again but this time it stayed that way.
"You're that... that thing in the alleyway..." Lucy shakily said as her legs gave out and she fell on her bed, making him look more dangerous as he stared down at her.
"Mhm" he answered.
"No, I mean... that's not possible. You came in when he took that man-"
That man...
"What happened to that man?!" Lucy asked him with wide fearful eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you nor will that guy ever hurt you again" he responded calmly which made Lucy's eyes go wider in even more fear.
"You-you killed him..."
"Luce, listen-"
"YOU KILLED HIM!"
Lucy jumped over to the other side of the bed and made a break for the door, the blanket dropping in the process but she didn't care. Natsu, on the other hand, was much quicker, way quicker, as he was in front of the door before her could even reach it.
Inhuman speed?!
Lucy froze then looked to the window on the right side of the room. Natsu saw it in her eyes what she'll do next and before she could move, he grabbed her, being careful of her injury and held her to his chest.
"Let go of me!" Lucy cried as she pound on his chest but he caught her wrist with his right hand, keeping the left holding her up against him.
"Luce, would you just listen!"
"No! Porlyusica! Porl-!"
"She's not here! She left to get God know's what!"
"No" she shaked as tears left her eyes "Let me go!" she cried louder.
"I know your name because you told me it in a time on one alive will remember!" he suddenly yelled out.
Lucy froze to process what he had just said, "What?"
"Only I would remember because I'm over 400 years old" he answered.
Lucy looked up to his now dark green eyes, trying to read his face for any signs of this being a prank but all she saw was sincerity and she somehow knew deep down that he was telling the truth.
"What?" she asked again to be sure she heard it right.
"I'm a vampire from over 400 years ago. Porlyusica had to tell me what year it was for me to know. You were a sorcerer of the stars. You had the most beautiful magic I've ever seen and that says a lot since I'm so old" he chuckled. "I met you on the last life your soul had on this world, you were being hunted down for using witchcraft and that's when I saw you in the forest."
Lucy stared at him with wide eyes, not being able to say a word as all he's saying sounded so familiar. She felt a distance adrenalin inside her listening to the story of her being hunted down.
"We became great friends. Everything around us didn't make sense without each other. We completed one another" his voiced cracked as he felt his eyes sting a little but blinked it away "To insure we'd always stay together, you tied our souls to one another. That way we can always find each other no matter where in our lives we are. When you died, I was put into a deep sleep until the age of when we first met."
"Seventeen" Lucy breathed out.
Natsu smiled in relief that she understands him, "Yea' he nodded.
"And Luce?" Lucy asked with a raised brow.
"It was your nickname I gave you" he laughed.
Lucy looked down at his chest with a frowned.
"You do believe me, don't you?" Natsu asked worriedly.
"I'm not sure. It's s ridiculous and impossible that it sounds like something straight out of a book" she pondered with puffed out cheeks.
Natsu looked a little defeated until she said, "But"
His eyes shined with hope from that word that he hates and love so much.
"What I'm feeling inside me, what my heart and very soul is say, is that it's all true."
"I guess the world changed a lot. Now knowledge of witchcraft and stuff are all make-belief huh?" Natsu asked and she nodded to that.
"Sometimes you just have to throw away logic and go with your instincts" Natsu suddenly said.
Lucy looked up at him with wide eyes from what he just said "You just said that right? Not some weird creature that's living inside you or anything?"
Natsu huffed and turned his head to the right, away from her, "You're still the same."
Lucy laughed at this, smiling brightly. "Yea, I guess I am!"
Natsu grinned at her silly. Lucy then got out of his hold and wiped her face. She looked up at him with a stern face.
"Still, even though everything you said felt true-"
"And it is" Natsu brusted in.
"That doesn't mean I'm going to let this go off easy! It's still sounds ridiculous and foolish, so!" Lucy paused to see that she's got his undivided attention, "You're just going to have to prove to me that you're telling the truth, besides the whole vampire thing. I believe that although it's crazy but it's hard not to when you're living proof."
"Don't you mean 'dead' " he smirked.
"Don't get smart with me!" Lucy reprimanded then continued "Also I don't wanna be around someone that freaks out over all the changes and technology in this generation so I'm just going to have to each you. Besides you look nineteen, so you not knowing about these stuff will make you the talk of the town"
"Why's that?" Natsu tilted his head.
"Because even babies know about what a phone is and almost everyone in the world has them. Plus, a guy with pink hair and cluelessness about everyday's accessories are not something you'll want to mix together" she sighed.
"Hey! It's salmon!" he yelled.
"Not to everyone else and salmon is a type of pink" Lucy added.
Natsu grumbled before saying, "So I have to convince you that I'm telling the truth and you'll teach me about the new world? Piece of cake!" he grinned.
"Oi! I want some info on my past life you hear?!" Lucy yelled to make her point.
"Oh! I got an idea! Let's make it a game! I ask you a question then you get to ask me one!" Natsu beamed.
"Alright, what do you want to know?" Lucy asked.
"Well I've been wondering... when are you going to put on a shirt?"
"Pervert!"
I wrote this shorter but at the end I said "Let me just add explain somethings, get some funnies and then a new chapter with fresh ideas can be born!"
Okay that's a lie, I just wrote that but hey! It worked out!
Tell me what you think!
Keep Smiling~!
