RECAP:
I grabbed my bags and followed him. Not long after I found myself thinking, "Laxus make me beg."
CURRENT TIME (LUCY'S POV):
Once we stepped out of the elevator I followed right behind him. I knew he was smirking but I didn't care. Sure what he said made my mouth water but what women's won't after having heard what he said. I knew that I had to win this bet in order for me to get stronger. The part on his side wanted me to join his team and I couldn't help but wonder why. 'Could he really be into me?' I asked myself. I was too busy wondering what just happened that I didn't realize he had stopped walking. I ended up crashing into his back. He turned around and said, "you just couldn't help touching me already? Don't tell me you've already given up? But not that I'm complaining I'll just be having a lot more fun on this mission." I just stared at him for a moment wondering why he said the word fun with such emphasis, then I realized what kind of fun he meant.
"No, I haven't and don't act so cocky it's annoying. Now hurry up and open the door." I replied with sass. All he did was laugh and then open the door to our room which was number 185 on the 4th floor. When we walked in we noticed it was a suite with a huge shower and tub in the bathroom, a mini kitchen, a two person dinning table, a leather couch with a matching love seat and one bedroom with one bed. 'Wait! One bed!' I said then turned towards Laxus.
"I don't mind sharing Blondie but since your freaking out over there you can have it. I'll take the couch. Besides it's not like it won't be long until you beg me to join you in there." I was so annoyed with his attitude. I was however really happy I got the King Size bed all to myself.
"Laxus how about we make this bet a little more interesting and add rules like no talking about the bet and no unnecessary perverted touching." I told him.
He then said, "Deal but because I know your going to cave, the second you can't take anymore of my charms and you want me you have to say 'I beg you Laxus take me, you were right I was wrong.' Understand?"
"Deal, but when I win you have to go up in front of the entire guild and say 'I Laxus Dreyar, who has the biggest most selfish and perverted ego on the planet was wrong and Lucy Heartfilia was right and I will not but into her personal life again.'" I told him grinning.
"Fine, but only because I know I'm going to win." He said.
"We'll see Sparky." I told him.
"Sparky?" he asked.
"Yes Sparky! You call me Blondie!" I told him which gave me a "Tch" response.
"Lets go see the manager and get the mages picture's okay. We'll hunt them down tomorrow." He told me.
"Do you really think we can finish this in two days?" I asked.
"I only said hunt Blondie not capture. We don't know how easy or how hard it will be to find them let alone take them down. Let's go." He said. I nodded my head and followed him out the door. We went down to the main floor and over to the clerks desk again. Laxus walked up and told him something, probably asking where the managers was. The clerk pointed to a stair case that led up to a single blue door that said MANAGER on it. Laxus motioned for me to follow him and I did. We walked up the spiral stairs and it didn't take to long before we reached the giant door. Laxus then knocked on the door and we heard a man say, "Come in." Laxus opened the big door and we headed inside. We walked strait in and saw a surprisingly tiny man. He was short and round, which was shocking because the door was so big.
"Ah hello, hello, hello. I am Mr. Akane. You must be them mages I called for. Thank you for coming. These here dark mages are driving our business down the drain. Please catch them. I'm sure you already know of the reward and you being able to stay until the time is up. Once you help us clean up. I feel bad asking but the mages have even driven away staff." the man said handing us photos of the mages. When I saw the picture of the culprits I couldn't believe who I saw.
"Unfortunatly all we have are those pictures, no names." Mr. Akane said.
"Aoi and Yuji are there names sir." I told the man which made both him and Laxus look at me like I was crazy.
"You know them?!" Mr. Akane yelled.
"No I don't know them, that's what they called each other when we saw them getting off the elevator when we got here." I told them.
"Oh your right they do like kind of familiar." Laxus said.
"They saw you and they didn't even hurt you?!" The man said.
"No they were too busy talking to each other that they didn't seem to notice anything. They are a couple." Laxus told him.
"Oh" Mr. Akane said.
"Well now we know there weakness." I said.
"Which is?" the man asked.
"Each other." Laxus said.
"Thank you for your time Mr. Akane we will report back to you once we find there location or catch them." I told him. Then me and Laxus headed towards the door.
"Wait you both, if they are a couple then they are probably taking part in the couples activities we have going on." He told us.
"Which are?" Laxus asked.
"Well the last one that goes on tonight is a couples only, social gathering to meet other couples. There is dancing, singing, food, drinks, games and more. You both should head down there and you might find them."
"We're not-" Laxus cut me off. "Sounds like a good idea, that way we can see how they act." He said. Then he pulled me out of the room.
"You do know were not dating right?" I asked him.
"Not yet we aren't and going is a good idea to find out their behavior. It will give us a chance to see if they really are each others weakness." He told me.
"Your lucky I brought a dress. But remember the rules of you know what. Oh and we're focusing on the mission only, understand! Nothing else!" I quickly spoke.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now lets go change." He said. One we got to the room I grabbed my bag and went strait into the bathroom. I knew this was a mission but the event sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to call Cancer and have him pin my hair up in a knot and have two loose strands hanging down on both sides of my face that were curled. Then I slipped on my tight fitted dress. It had just the right amount of modesty and sex appeal. It was a long light blue dress that went down to my knees in the front and continued down to the floor in the back with ruffles. The top was completely fitted showing off my curves especially in my chest region. It had black glitter lining the heart shaped neck line of my chest showing cleavage and a black bow wrapped around my waist. All in all I looked gorgeous. I added a necklace and black pumps to my outfit, plus some vanilla perfume. I decided I had stayed in the bathroom too long and I should go out and face Laxus. Once I stepped out I put my bag back on the end of the bed and went on a search to find Laxus. I found him sitting on the love seat reading a book.
"You read?" I asked him. He looked up at me and his eyes widened.
"Yes and you look gorgeous. Simply beautiful." He told me.
"Wow I never thought I would hear the day that Laxus actually complimented someone." I told him giggling.
"Haha very funny. The only person I will ever compliment will be you considering you'll be mine in a matter of days. And seeing you look like that lets me know I made the right decision. I promise I won't let anything bad happen to you Lucy." He said while closing his book.
"Don't be so full of yourself. But you look pretty nice yourself" I said blushing and finally noticing his appearance. He had traded his normal maroon pants for some nicer white ones and he also had on a light blue v neck formal shirt. We actually ended up matching without even trying. He looked incredibly sexy in his outfit but I wasn't going to crack just because of a few nice words and a amazing body.
"Thanks now lets go doll face. Oh and we actually have to act like a couple otherwise we'll be kicked out." He said grinning.
"Of course we do." I said. 'This is going to be a long night' I thought to myself. We made our way down to the ballroom where the event was taking place. We made it there arm in arm without even saying a word to one another. Not that I minded. I noticed a clock that said 9 pm on it and decided that we should leave by 11. We made it to two large marble doors with two equally large body guards in front of it. It looked more like a club than social gathering to me. You could hear the music blaring all over the room. We took a few steps towards the doors and the guards looked at us before opening the doors letting us inside. Once we walked in the doors closed behind us leaving us staring at a surprising huge crowd of people. Apparently people from all over came for this event judging by the fact that everything was free. It was probably a way to gain new customers since old ones were leaving due to the mages. I looked around and saw waiters carrying champagne and a few table that guests could sit at to order food. 'Food' I thought. I haven't eaten since this morning. So then I tapped Laxus on the shoulder and pointed to one of the empty tables. He seemed to understand what I wanted and lead me over to the table. He kindly pulled my chair out for me and pushed it back once I was seated. He then took his place on the other side. There were only a few things on the menu but I didn't care it was all free and completely high class options. Once the waiter came he took our order. I got a chicken cordon blu with a side of mash potatoes and asparagus and Laxus got a cajin seared lamb chop with cauliflower and baby carrots. After we got our food and ate another waiter came and handed us champagne. We accepted the glasses and walked over to the main floor. We began looking for our targets. Laxus then tapped me on my arm and pointed to a man. I looked and noticed it was the man from the elevator, our target. We quickly disposed of the glasses in our hands and walked closer to the man.
"Lucy we're not going to start a fight tonight. There are too many people. Plus you don't have your keys. Why don't we just get to know them." Laxus said.
"Okay." I told him. With that we walked towards the man and said our hello's.
"Hi I'm Laxus Dreyar and this is my girlfriends Lucy H-" "Ashley, Lucy Ashley" I said interrupting Laxus.
"Hello my name is Yuji and that lovely woman on stage is my wife Aoi." He said pointing to her. Up on the stage with all the lights she looked absolutely breath taking. I couldn't understand why they were hurting people. Then the woman called Aoi said, "Hello everyone! My name is Aoi! I hope your all having a good night! but to make it better I'm going to sing for you!" She just announced her name? How could the manager have not discovered it yet? Then the music began to play:
"Send a wish upon a star
Do the work and you'll go far
Send a wish upon a star
Make a map and there you are
Her voice was so beautiful. I was amazed. I looked over at Laxus and he looked amazed as well. She was just as good as Lyra.
Send a hope upon a wave
A dying wish before the grave
Send a hope upon a wave
For all the souls you failed to save
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
Lyra. Why did her signing remind me of it? Lyra's last song was meant to put people to sleep. Why am I suddenly getting so tired? This woman's voice was beautiful but the words were dark.
Send a question in the wind
It's hard to know where to begin
So send the question in the wind
And give an answer to a friend
Place your past into a book
Put in everything you ever took
Place your past into a book
Burn the pages let them cook
At this point I knew something was wrong. I was going to collapse. 'Laxus help me.'
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well
And you stood tall
Now you will fall
Don't break the spell
Of a life spent trying to do well"
*Thump* I dropped. I felt something soft but hard under me. I tried to pick my head up. I saw it was Laxus he and all the other guests were all on the floor sleeping. I tried to get up but my limbs wouldn't respond.
"Aoi look she's still awake" I heard a man's voice say.
"What! Why? My charm should have worked! Well whatever I can fix that. You go rob the guests of their Jewelry and cash. I'll deal with her" The Aoi said breaking the leg off a table.
"Such a shame, her and her boyfriend were actually really nice." Keji said walking away.
The woman then walked over to me. I knew she was going to hit me with the piece of wood but my body wouldn't move away. 'MOVE BODY' I yelled at myself watching her get close to me. 'Why the hell didn't I bring my keys!' I knew my keys wouldn't help in this situation since my arms wouldn't be able to move to grab them. 'But at least Loke might open his gate.' I thought, no it's to late for that. *Whack!* and I was out. I felt the blood coming down from my forehead but my body still wouldn't move. I found myself drifting off. If only I was stronger. I'm sorry mother, I failed you. Then the world went black...
