I'm so sorry for my late update…..

Okay for my very very late update but don't worry I'll make it up to you by making this chapter long (hope it's long enough)

Thanks for the reviews and I hope you won't give up on reading my story

So much for that , let's get on with the story

Chapter 4

Lisanna came to check up on Lucy, when she arrived she found a blushing Lucy in the arms of Natsu.

"Um," Lisanna was taken into surprise by the scene before her. Natsu let's Lucy go and walked towards Lisanna

"Yo, Lisanna," Natsu grinned

"Natsu, where have you been?" Lisanna asked ignoring his pink cheeks

"Oh…somewhere, anyway why did you guys take a break?" Natsu changed the topic to evade further questioning

"Well Lucy wanted a bath, so Erza is having her 'cake time' while gray is resting nearby" Lisanna answered while looking at Natsu then at Lucy

"That stupid stripper, sleeping like a-" Natsu went off and looked for Gray, leaving the two girls in a tense atmosphere

"So…." Lisanna started "Was your bath okay?" she looked at Lucy

'Of course it was great' Lucy thought "It was just fine, thanks for looking out for me" she smiled

"I know I shouldn't be asking this but…a while ago, why were you with Natsu?" Lisanna stared her down

"Oh-h, that" Lucy replied "I just tripped, that's all" she shrugged

"I-I see, well I'm glad that you had nice bath" Lisanna looked away "I'll be going then, are you done?" She asked

"I just need to fix 'some' things, you can go first" Lucy smiled

"Okay then I'll go first, catch up kay?" Lisanna waved and walked away

"If you can only read minds" Lucy stared at her retreating figure "It was truly a great bath"


"Gray why the hell are you sleeping during a job?" Natsu pulled Gray upwards "and you're sleeping soundly too!"

"What the hell?" Gray woke up staring at an angry face of Natsu "What do you think you're doing? You wanna fight?!" he snapped

"Sure lets fight!" Natsu punched Gray and then vice versa

"You fools!" Erza barked while eating her strawberry cake

Lisanna arrived with a smile on her face

"You seem happy" Erza looked around "Where's Lucy?" she asked

"She's still at the river" Lisanna replied with a grin

"She's not yet done? Oh well it's okay" Erza continued eating her cake

"Kyah!"

A scream was heard and everyone stopped what they were doing. Then suddenly an earthquake occurred causing the cake that Erza was eating fell onto the ground. Silence fell upon them and looked at Erza who was in a state of shock. A beast came out and roared announcing its arrival.

Erza gave a deadly aura "Re quip!" Erza changed into her Heaven's wheel armor "I'm gonna kill you!"

"Let's follow her" Natsu left Gray and followed Erza

"Let's go Happy! Lisanna!" Gray ran off

The creature was near the river and saw Lucy. By its instinct?(do they do that? -_-") the creature took Lucy and held her captive

"Let go of me!" Lucy punched the hand of the creature. As she continued punching the creature Erza came running.

"You're going to die for ruining my cake" Erza enraged her eyes red in color as she charged at the beast

"Lucy?! What are you doing there?!" Natsu asked in shock as he saw Lucy in the hands of the creature

"Does it look like I enjoy being here?!" Luc y screamed as the creature shook its hand and squeezed her tighter

"Happy!" Natsu called out "Let's go save Lucy!" and they flew towards her

"How typical" Lisanna gritted her teeth with a scorn look

"What did you say?" Gray asked from behind startling Lisanna

"I mean about the creature, It's so typical that an ugly beast always takes pretty and weak girls" Lisanna said as she stared at the monster

"Lucy's not weak" Gray said as a matter of fact

"I-I know but the creature-" Lisanna explained but was cut off at Lucy's scream

"What the hell are you doing Natsu?!" Lucy screamed as she killed the fire

"I'm burning it's hand so you'll be free" Natsu said calmly and readied himself to fire again

"You idiot!" Gray ran towards them "If you burn the hand, you'll also burn Lucy!" Gray screamed but it was already too late, for Natsu already fired "Idiot!"

As the hand burned it shook violently and Lucy ran out of oxygen for she was entrapped inside the creatures' fist

"Take this!" Erza stabbed the arm of the creature. It screamed in pain and dropped Lucy in the deep part of the river

"Lucy!" Gray waited for her to resurface

"Gray she's unconscious, Lisanna go get her!" Erza ordered while Natsu was ready to jump when she stopped him "Go now Lisanna!"

"Eh?" Lisanna as still at shock and didn't comprehend the words Erza said

"I'll go!" Gray jumped in the river

"What the hell Erza!"Natsu argued but Erza silenced him "Between you and Gray, Gray is faster and you can't reach her on time"

"But I-" Natsu complained

"The faster we kill this creature, the faster we'll attend to Lucy's aid" Erza said and proceeded to slay the creature

"Fine" Natsu didn't argue any longer and fought the monster with Erza

While they fought the creature, under water Lucy saw Gray reaching for her but her eyes were hazy so she didn't see clearly then she passed out. When Gray and Lucy resurfaced, he noticed Lucy wasn't breathing . The second they got on shore with Lisanna's help, Gray immediately gave her C.P.R

"G-gray w-what a-are y-you d-doing t-to L-ucy?" Erza came after defeating the beast only to find Gray giving Lucy mouth-to-mouth resuscitation

"What the hell are you doing you pervert!" Natsu pointed at Gray accusingly

Lucy coughed as water came out from her mouth, they helped her up and made her lean on a tree

"I bet she was poisoned by what you did" Natsu gave him a suspicious look

"Look who's talking" Gray snorted ready to stand an punch Natsu when Lucy suddenly grabbed him

"Don't go! Don't leave me!" Lucy hugged him

"L-lucy" Natsu stammered while was stunned in silence

"Don't go, please" Lucy hugged him tighter as tars fell down from her eyes

"Don't worry I won't' leave you" Gray hushed her and patted her head. A little while later Lucy fell asleep in his arms while Gray held unto her

"You can let go of her now" Natsu said with a straight face

"Who are you? Her father?" Gray looked at Natsu and smirked "Are jealous Natsu?"

"Me jealous? Ha! As if, I'm just worried that…that, stop molesting her you pervert!" Natsu yelled

"I'm not molesting her" Gray argued

"You're just saying that but in truth you are slowly molesting her" Natsu gave him a look "Let go of her" he demanded

"Make me" Gray challenged

"Fine" Natsu was ready to punch Gray

"Idiots!"Erza smacked the heads of Natsu and Gray "You'll wake Lucy up" she growled

"We're sorry" They apologized

"Natsu carry Lucy" Erza ordered "While the two of you come with me" as she grabbed Lisanna and Gray

"Where are we going?" Lisanna asked

"We're going back to the village" Erza stated

"Why does he have to carry Lucy" Gray contradicted

"It's because you're soaked wet you'll give Lucy a cold" Lisanna explained "Besides, Natsu is warmer then you"

"Aye! Gray you are such an idiot" Happy said appearing beside Lisanna

"Shut up you darn cat!" Gray snapped at Happy

"The faster we get there, the sooner we leave" Erza started to walk

"Tch, whatever" Gray said in defeat and looked at Natsu "How on earth did you do that?!" his eyes bulged out as he saw Natsu giving Lucy a piggy back ride. Erza looked back and stared at Natsu

"I have no idea, but isn't it convenient?" Natsu said with a toothy grin

"…"

"Well whatever, let's go" Erza said and lead the group back to the village

While traveling

"Natsu" Lucy whispered

"Hmm"

"Thanks" Lucy murmured

"No problem" Natsu replied with his mischievous grin

To be continued

Was that long enough?

Should it be longer?

This is my first time writing an action/fight scene? (did it sound right?) I'll never do it again(I hope)

Was the fight/action scene okay? I'm sorry if it's not

Well anyway, thanks for reading and don't forget to leave a review

Love lots,
