Lucy
I once again woke up, this time I felt more rested and collected. I sat up only feeling slightly lightheaded.
"You're awake."
I turned to see a hooded figure sitting against the wall across from me. That's when I realize my situation once more.
"Where are we?" I asked looking around.
"On the top floor of some abandoned warehouse." she answered simply.
She answered so casually, like she's did not kidnaped me and is now holding me hostage. I thought to myself. The room was dead silent.
"I don't mean you any harm."
"Then why-" I lifted up my arms to show her the ropes she used to tie my hands together, just to discovered that I was no longer tied up… I could easily escape.
"I'm sorry, I did not ever wanted to do anything like this to you." she apologise quietly.
"Then why did you kidnapped me?"
"The situation is desperate."
"Why hide your identity?"
"Can't risk anyone seeing me, once again, I'm desparate."
We sat in silence for a little longer until she piped up again.
"Look I really need your help." She told me. I sat there silently for a little bit longer. "Why me?" I asked.
"You're the only one who has the power to help me…" She whispered.
I probably would have not believe her if I had not noticed the fact that she was crying. Tears were streaming down her face, dripping onto her lap, her hand gripping a piece of paper. She was not lying, she really needed my help.
"I'm so sorry." she apologised once again, her voice sounded so fragile. Her whole body was trembling, I wondered what this poor girl has gone through up to this point to make her so sad.
"It's okay." I said.
"I never wanted to hurt you... I don't mean, nor want to bring anyone harm…" we sat in silence once again.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"... Nashi." She answered quietly.
"Nice to me you Nashi. I'm Lucy." I said trying to sound cheerful in hopes to lighten her mood.
"Lucy…" She said it like it was foreign to her. "Thank you Lucy."
"For what?" I asked confused.
"For being kind to me." she answered.
"No pro-" I never finished my answer, the building shaked as the door downstairs were busted down.
"Stay here." She said quickly as she got up, She dropped the paper as she ran for the stairs. The image caught my eye as I quickly grabbed it.
I could not believed my eyes once they glanced over the painting, I could of swear I was imagining things but this was a real painting.
"Where's Lucy?!" Natsu roared from downstairs.
The world seemed to fall down on top of my shoulders. This could not be happening.
"Fire Dragon…"
I automaticly panicked when I heard Natsu's voice again, he did not know what was happening! I ran for the stairs in hope I could stop him, he could hurt Nashi!... Or maybe not, now that I think of it.
As I reached the lower floor I was trembling, still trying to take everything in.
"Natsu stop!" I screamed desperately. It was too late.
She was holding her ground, but she was also trembling...
"Roooooar!" Natsu released the fire, Nashi stood still as the fire made contact with her.
