Day 2

Part 2

Artemis paced back and forth, leaving Fuyuka to sit on the floor to read the rules. Suddenly, the navy haired girl stopped and looked down at her partner, watching as the girl's hazel eyes grew wide with fear. Fuyuka snapped her head up and stared at Artemis.

"This is…"

Artemis nodded.

"Yeah, looks like we're taking part in the first game."

Fuyuka looked back down at the paper in hand, re-reading the black writing and then she glanced at the orange material in her right hand. Scrunching the fabric in her hand, she dropped the set of rules to the floor. Artemis looked stared down at her own strip of fabric and then back at Fuyuka.

"Well, looks like we have no choice then." She raised the material and tightly wrapped it round her forehead, tying it in a neat knot at the side and letting the left over material dangle. "We're just going to have to beat the crap out of anyone who stands in our way!"

Fuyuka looked at her partner in awe, and slight worry. Artemis smiled softly at her new friend.

"Don't worry, Fuyuka. We're not going to lose. Promise"

Fuyuka smiled back.

"Then I'll try my best."

The letter box opened slightly and a hand pushed two small bread rolls through, letting the metal shutter snap closed afterwards. The person who delivered the food didn't say a word, probably not having any care for the two captives her just fed.

Lucy eyed the bread suspiciously and Carter followed her train on of sight. He chuckled a bit and then stood up to go pick up their breakfast. Well, it was breakfast to them anyway, to the outside world though, it could be lunch – or even dinner. He handed Lucy one of the rolls, which she accepted and then proceeded to twist in her fingers.

"Don't worry, It's not poisonous." He said, smiling at her careful investigation of the dough-y food.

"How can you be sure? This could kill us!"

Carter laughed and held up his bread as an example. Lucy followed his movements with her chocolate brown eyes as he brought the bread to his mouth and then took a large bite. She watched as he chewed then swallowed. They remained silent for a moment, Lucy studying Carter's features, checking to see if he had been poisoned.

All of a sudden, the black haired boy coughed and put his hand up to his neck. Lucy's eyes grew wide and she scurried over to his side.

"Carter!" She yelled. "Carter are you alright?"

He was about to say something, but burst out laughing instead. Lucy was taken aback and she just stared as Carter wiped happy tears from his eyes.

"Oh god! Your face!"

The blonde celestial spirit scowled and scuttled backwards, wrapping her arms around the body.

"That was mean… Carter…" Said boy stopped laughing.

"Oh, lighten up Luce!" Another painful tug at her heart as her mind pictured Natsu, imagining him saying that nickname and not some stranger. Shaking the thoughts from her head, she glared at Carter.

"Lighten up? How can I 'lighten up' when I've been kidnapped and entered into some tournament of death?" Tears trailed down her cheeks. "How can you be so freakin' calm at a time like this?"

She was almost screaming and Carter cringed at the shrill noise. Only when she had calmed down did he decide to speak. Lucy had her face buried in her lap and was weeping freely, hiccupping every now and then.

"Why am I so calm?" Lucy looked up, tear tracks staining her face, when the boy spoke. "It's probably because I know that if I dwell on the problem, I'll break. I'll become some depressed zombie." He breathed in, then out. "I don't want to be like that Luce, because when I go home, I want to be happy. And I'm going home. I'm going to win this thing."

Lucy was slightly touched by his answer, but hid her emotions by embedding her face back into her legs.

"Idiot…" She whispered, a small smile playing on her lips.

Carter just chuckled and scratched the back of his head again.

"Maybe."

Lucy awoke to the sounds of heavy footsteps echoing through the hallways. She gently shook Carter and watched as his eyes fluttered open, his green orbs almost glowing in the dark. He groaned and sat up.

"What is it Luce?" He mumbled. Ever since the first time, he hadn't stopped calling her that.

"I hear someone" Her voice was a whispered hiss.

Carter and Lucy both tensed as they heard the jangling of keys and then the creaking of a door sliding open.

"Get up" They heard a gruff male voice order and listened as two more sets of feet joined his.

There was a quick sound of handcuffs clicking into place and then the footsteps started up again, slowly fading into the distance.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked.

Carter's eyes were fixed on the door, worry dancing in his emerald orbs.

"Looks like the games have started."
