Chapter 6
"Watermelons." Natsu said for the umpteenth time.
"Yes, flame brain, watermelons." Gray said, once again. Erza handed the pole to Natsu.
"No. I'm not playing." He said, sitting down, being stubborn like always. Erza glared at him dangerously.
"What?" She asked, staring him down. Natsu shivered.
"Fine." He grumbled. He stood, taking the pole from her, feeling the blindfold press it's gentle pressure against his eyes. Then he groaned inwardly. He was starting to think like Lucy a bit. Then that thought made him start to think about Lucy. Don't wory Luce, I'm on my way. He thought, as he began pounding the ground.
"Left!" "RIGHT RIGHT!" "UP!"
"UP?! I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT GRAY!" He bellowed, suddenly felling the luscious caving of the melons rind. He slipped the blind fold off, smiling at his success. An orb floated up from the center of the melon. Lucys voice sounded around.
If I have it, I don't share it. If I share it, I don't have it.
"Lucy." Wendy said, slightly distressed in the thickness and tiredness in Lucys voice.
"Hello, dear fairies. Clue 4. Your moving a little slow. Only have 4 ½ hours left. Good lucy. Oops! I meant good luck."
"Who are you?!" Erza yelled, but to no avail. The orb turned into a thin smoke before disappearing. The sun suddenly seemed to be laughing at them, as it slowly continued its decent into the horizon.
Lucy's P.O.V.
I sighed, tugging at the ropes that held me captive. Damon stood in front of me, just staring at me.
"What do you want, Damon?" I asked. He shrugged his lean shoulders.
"Just thinking. You remember." He said.
"What do I remember?"
"What it's like to be friends with me." He said, a devilish smile playing on his lips. I glared at him.
"Do I? I can't remember if I do." I spat at him. He tsked me.
"Ah, poor Lucy. Forgotten by the one person who she loves the most. And now in this situation. You know, if you had never did that to me, you wouldn't be here." He pointed out. I turned my head childishly away.
"I had to. I didn't have a choice." I mumbled, feeling the guilt wash over me. Just thinking about it made me sick.
"That's bullshit Lucy. You had a choice. You had many choices. Yet, you chose the one that landed you here. Happy now?" He spat back at me. Tears threatened to spill.
"I'm sorry, Damon. I never meant-"
"DON'T." He suddenly yelled, making me jump, and look at him in shock.
"You deserve this Lucy. Your friends deserve this. All of Fairy Tail does. But especially you. You disgust me." He said, pointing a finger at me.
"Sir?" someone said behind him quietly. He turned, his back now to me. I could see just in front of him. I gulped.
"The project is finished." The boy said. My eyes widened in fear. I was literally staring death in the face.
"And the clues?" Damon asked. My eyes wouldn't budge.
"All set." The boy said. My heart beat faster. Damon turned back to me, watching as my distress rose. A coffin. A coffin that would definitely fit me, I was sure of it.
"Excellent."
