Chapter 3: Why?

Two guards came to her before she could even understand what was happening.

One pushed her behind him while the other drew his sword. The knight swung his sword. Lucy watched in horror as it nicked the side of the man's neck.

The flame masked man hissed as he drew back, hand cupped around his wound. Taking his knife with his free hand, he leapt off the balcony and disappeared into the night. Lucy fell down to her knees, shaking uncontrollably.

That couldn't have been him. It couldn't. Natsu wouldn't do something like that.

"M'Lady? Are you injured?" One of the knights asked taking off his helmet to get a better look at the princess.

"No..." Lucy said looking up at the blue haired knight. Her eyes widened when she recognized him.

"Good I'm glad." He said turning around.

"Jellal you take the princess to safety and I'll check the other guest." The other knight shouted.

Jellal nodded. "Call if you need help Cobra."

Lucy watched as Cobra walked off. Her brain was in overdrive trying to come up with a logical idea. Jellal was a knight? Cobra was also a knight? Natsu probably tried to kill her?

Jellal must've noticed the confused look on her face and knelt down. "M'Lady are you in pain?"

Lucy just shook her head. She stared at him and swallowed. Where was Erza. Was she also with Natsu? Was it just him? She had to ask.

"Actually I have a question." She said. "What do you know about..." She paused. Was this the right thing? "Natsu Dragneel?"

Jellal's head jerked back in shock. "H-How did you find out about that name?" He ask his eyes wide.

Lucy blinked slowly unsure what to say. She stayed silent and tried to come up with a lie. She couldn't tell him that she was from another world where Natsu was her partner.

"M'Lady, staying silent isn't going to help. But your father has instructed me never to tell you about that man. I apologize for not being able to tell you anymore." Jellal said bowing before standing up and walking away.

Her only chance to get the story here was getting away. "Wait!" She shouted. Lucy racked her brain trying to come up with something to get Jellal to tell her what she needed to know. Her brain quickly sorted through all of the events that had happened so far.

She had no clue how she ended up here. But here her parents where alive. She was the princess and was loved by everyone. Love...Erza! Lucy had to try. If Jellal had no relation ship with Erza, she's just seem crazy and be questioned again. But there was nothing else she could use.

"If you don't tell me about Natsu Dragneel I'll tell my father about your relationship with Erza!" She said just loud enough for him to hear.

Jellal turned to face her so fast Lucy was afraid he would snap his neck. "How did you know?" He was blushing. Though that might've been from anger. But still Lucy got something right! Even though she had no clue where Erza was.

Lucy shook her head. "Only if you tell me what I want to hear!"

Jellal came up to her and kneel by her sitting form. He stared her right in the eye. "You must not repeat this to anyone. Understand?"

Lucy nodded.

"Natsu Dragneel is part of a group of rebels called Fairy Tail that have been trying to assassinate the royal family for years."

Lucy saw black cloud her vision. She heard Jellal's muffled shouting but couldn't make out the words. Her world tipped back sharply and went pure black as she fainted.
