Chapter 5
"The answer is obvious." Gray huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. Juvia pouted slightly that he was covering his chest.
"Yes, it is very easy. Wonder if this guy is messing with us." Erza mused.
"What does pink have to do with anything in particular though? There are lots of pink houses and things." Wendy squeaked slightly, then looked embarrassed that she squeaked. Natsu squinted his eyes.
"Isn't there an old abandoned house just outside of the city limits?" He asked, turning his head slightly.
"Yeah, there is. A glaringly pink one." Happy said, holding his paw in the air.
"Lets go."
They reached the blindingly pink house quickly with Erza barking at them for being so slow and lazy. There was a small table out front, holding three boxes. They paused, slightly hesitant.
"Why are there three boxes?" Natsu asked, pointing to them as if no one else can see them. Gray rolled his eyes.
"Yes, cuz everyone here holds all the answers of the universe." He said sarcastically. Natsu shrugged him off, a very uncommon thing for him to do. Erza reached for the closest box, and opened it. Two envelopes fell out. Erza opened the first.
"It's blank." She said, holding the piece of parchment. Natsu snatched the second one from her, ripping it open.
Dear Fairies,
Its already been a few hours, hasn't it? I'm getting quite bored. I think it's time to amp things up a little, don't you? I think Lucy in pain isn't enough motivation. That, and she doesn't complain as much. It's very boring. So, I'll amp things up. The other piece of paper will tell you what will happen to Lucy in a few hours. And your time has been lowered. Instead of 24 hours, you now only have 6 more hours. Now, here is your clue. "I'm a green house. Inside me is a white house. Inside the white house there is a red house. In the red house there are lots of babies! Who am I?" Good Luck.
D.T.
Natsus hands were shaking.
"What's in the other boxes?" He asked. Happy was looking sad, holding Lucy's keys in his paws.
"Lucys keys." He said, handing them to Natsu.
"And a wooden pole."
