By the time Lucy made it to the bathroom she was really crying. She didnt' know why. Erza hadn't done anything truly wrong, it's just the mention of marriage this close to their 18th birthday made her so fearful. She got some tissue and cleaned herself up. She didn't need to go back out there like this. She got out her keys.
"Open gate of the Maiden, Virgo". A puff of smoke appeared and their was Virgo. "How may I assist you princess?" Virgo asked bowing down. Lucy was still trying to calm her crying.
"Virgo can you please help me get cleaned back up. I can't go out there looking like a hot mess." Lucy asked Virgo giving her a smile.
"Yes Princess." Virgo quickly straightened the back of Lucy's hair and helped clean her face.
"Thank you Virgo" Lucy said quietly.
"Princess don't you think you and Natsu should just tell them. You've been here long enough I think they would understand." Virgo said calmly. Lucy thought about it for a minute.
"We can't Virgo. What if we tell them and then the word gets out somehow and they find us?" Lucy was frightened. She looked at herself in the mirror. She would keep their secret because it meant they would stay safe. Not even master knew of their past. They wen't through so much trouble making a new life. They changed their names, Lucy changed her hair from brown to Blonde and Natsu's hair from black to pink. Lucy didn't know why but that's what he wanted. Virgo just nodded her head. "Yes Princess I understand. I will leave you for now." Virgo vanished. "Thank you" Lucy whispered.
Outside in the guild everyone was still quite. Natsu hadn't lifted his head.
"What was that about flame brain" Gray said angrily. Natsu didn't get mad at the insult. Wendy who was sitting closest to him saw him shacking. Was he cold? Fear?
"Natsu are you and Lucy ok" Wendy asked. Natsu raised his head slowly. Only as much so that his eyes met hers. She saw the fear, anger, hurt. Everyone else saw it too.
"Come on Natsu if you don't tell us we can't help" Erza spoke up. She hadn't moved from her spot.
"Don't you get it. You can't help. Why'd you think we told you so little about what our lives were like before coming here. We CAN'T tell you." Natsu was flat. No emotion in his voice. Everyone exchanged looks, concerned.
"Natsu we're your friends" Mira Jane said with a smile. "Even so" Natsu just replied.
Lucy was just about to leave the bathroom when she heard something. There were many stalls in the bathroom and figured that someone else was there. Great they heard her breakdown. She just ignored it. But when she turned to leave a stale door at the end opened. She turned to see who it was. The figure had on a black robe so she couldn't see the face.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked. She was scared. The figure only laughed. The laugh wasn't friendly. Then the stale door next to it opened. One more figure stepped out. It too was wearing a robe. "Who are you" Lucy said almost yelling. Surely someone would hear and check on her. Just then one of the figures took out a celestial wip and hit Lucy on the face. She felt the pain. Blood was coming out the side of her face and top of her fore head. She looked back and was in terror. The two figures took the hoods off of their heads. What was standing there was King Terom Takomia and King Ferria Riom. No. No they can't be here. How did they find us? She was shaking with fear.
"Well well Lucy, it's nice to see you" her father said. His celestial wip was in his hand. King Takomia just smiled.
"Lucy you and Natsu will come with us, you have no choice." King Takomia said. His left hand producing fire magic. No she had to get out and warn Natsu. Luckily she was backing into the door. She quickly opened it and ran. Both kings following swiftly.
Natsu heard her before she she had to yell. He stood up and turned around.
"Natsu!" Lucy screamed. By this point everyone was standing. She was running as fast as she could. "Natsu run. Run Natsu" She yelled agian. She came around the corner and everyone saw. Her face and shirt were full of blood. Natsu instantly got angry. But then the two Kings came around the corner as well, he stopped. Natsu then was scared. Everyone saw. He just starred in shock and horror. How did they find us? Lucy ran until she fell into Natsu. He held her up. Putting his body between them and her.
"Natsu, Lucy, I have to say you surely know how to hide. I mean it did take quite a while. You even changed your hair and names. Very clever." King Takomia spoke. His voice put fear in Natsu's body but he had to stay strong for Lucy. King Riom pulled out his wip again and popped it in the air making Lucy flinch and cry out.
"She's your daughter, why would you strike her?" Natsu asked. "Ha you think that was the first time. You know as well as she the punishments that are enforced. I Know your father too well to know what he did" King Riom laughed out. Natsu just gritted his teeth. It was different. Natsu was a boy he could take it. Lucy was just a girl. His Lucy. She didn't deserve this.
"Who exactly are you people" yelled Erza. The whole fairy Tail guild was at the ready.
"Ah yes I am King Feria Riom of the Riom kingdom and this is King Terom Takomia of the Takomia kingdom" said King Riom, gesturing between the two of them. Everyone was puzzled. They had never heard of them before.
"And these too are runaways. That is my daughter Princess Lucy Riom and that is Prince Natsu Takomia." Everyone was shocked. Lucy still hid behind Natsu.
"Well no matter who you are you need to leave, this is the Fairy Tail guild and you are not memebers" Erza spoke. She now placed herself infront of Natsu and Lucy. Natsu was shocked. No one had defended them infront of the kings before. Both kings smirked.
"Just leave dad. Please just leave us alone" lucy yelled. She now stood beside Natsu holding his hand. King Takomia saw the gesture and got mad.
"Let go of his hand! You are not married yet. Do you want to bring shame to our families? What would your mother think Lucy" King Takomia yelled. She quickly dropped Natsu's hand and looked at the ground. The mention of her mother brought tears to her eyes. Natsu was angry. No one. Not their kingdom nor fathers could control them anymore. Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand causing her to look at him. He smiled.
"No. I love her. We have been married since we were babies because you two needed more power. You didn't love us. Guess what? We live together, sleep in the same house and even the same bed. We have done fine without you. We won't go back just so that you can get more power and money" Natsu yelled at them. Everyone was shocked, mouths open. They didn't know this about Natsu and Lucy. Lucy just smiled at him.
"Oh I think you to will. And you will do it with smiles on your faces" King Takomia said angryly.
Master then made his way in front of Erza. "Gentlemen I believe it best that you leave this guild before something terrible happens" master said quietly. Both kings looked at each other. Then King Takomia burst into flames and King Riom produced two celestial wips. The guild knew that something was about to go down. They readied themselves.
"I will not ask again gentlemen, you need to leave now" Master said getting frustrated.
"Not without our children we wont" King Riom stated. Natsu and Lucy knew they would do anything to get them back. Hurt anybody. But then Gray and Levy stepped up beside Erza. Then a few more guild members stepped up as well.
"You will have to try very hard to take them. But you will not have them" Erza yelled equipping into her purgatory armor. Gray started to make ice magic. Master quickly grew to his full size. Making both kings stare.
"Fine. But we will be back" said King Riom. Silently they made their way to the door.
"If you come back here be prepared" Maser yelled. With the Kings out of the guild hall tensions fell. Natsu crumbled to the ground with Lucy falling in his lap. Natsu hugged Lucy like a vice grip. She just cried and held onto his shirt. Everyone just starred at them.
