Chapter 3 – Examination Nightmare

AN: Thanks so much for the current reviews. Since Im on a small break from school I'll try to update this story as much as possible. Hopefully I can get to maybe chapter 5 by Monday. My next break wont be till near Christmas and after Final exams. e_e; If I can get enough reviews after Monday I might just update on a random weekend. So that's the deal. And Im sorry if some chapters seem too short. I made Natsu and Gray slightly older than Lucy so keep that in Mind. Lucy should be at age 15 and Natsu and Gray should be 17.

Morning came and I woke up. My vision slightly blurry and then I noticed something a little off. Something felt warm and cozy. I blinked a few times and saw a bare chest and pink hair. I blushed a deep scarlet. Then I panicked with a scream.

"GAH! NATSU! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE IN MY BED?!" I scowled and pushed him off and sat up. Shame the whole room is covered in white cushions. I groaned. Then noticed something else. Someone behind me too? I looked behind me and Gray was lying there as well.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU?! TOO GRAY?!" I quickly hoped off the bed, Covered my face to see he was also shirtless but looks like he is a heavy sleeper.

"So early….Luce why did you do that? It was so nice and cozy" He said in a lazy manner as he sat up. I looked at the clock for a brief second. 8;30am… Then turned back.

"B-because… THIS IS MY ROOM AND YOU'RE A GUYS SLEEPING WITH ME. NOW GET OUT SO I CAN CHANGE!" I cried and pushed him out the door, grabbed Gray while he was still dead asleep, threw him out as well and slammed it shut. Quickly pulled my luggage out changed into a simple blue V-neck style T-shirt and some black shorts. And then tied my hair into a pony tail. And soon came out to find these two guys standing by the door. Gray yawned and Natsu just stared.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing?" Both said. They just stared and it kind of creeped me out for a second. I walked down the hall and they followed beside me.

"Why are you two following me?" I asked slightly irritated.

"Because you seem nice." Natsu replied with a toothy grin.

"I have nothing better to do." Said Gray right after Natsu. And he shrugged.

I started to get lost in thought and turned down the hall. I saw Doctor Mirajane coming up with a wide smile plastered on her pale skin.

"Oh you already made some friends Lucy? That's great! And quite an unusual pair to be together with." She said cheerfully.

"Oh no no no, it's not like that at all. I swear. I saw them last night causing trouble and then they suddenly got attached to me" I claimed.

"Riiiggghhhttt" Mira said with a smug grin.

"Now Lucy I need you to follow me, today is your first examination" Mira got right to the point.

Now I always hated doctors. I winced at this statement and followed Mirajane with my head looking at the ground. Natsu and Gray frowned and went away. They said "We'll see you later when you're done Lucy. Good Luck."

Good Luck? What? I thought. Then Mira and I entered a room with a large chair and straps. I gulped a large lump in my throat.

"Today we'll be checking your brain waves" Mira said in a innocent voice.

(Natsu POV)

I was walking down the hallway along with Gray. Normally we would of picked a fight but it seems like I was to worried about Lucy.

I felt bad leaving Luce alone with that demonic doctor. Knowing her Luce would be tortured for a bit until her "examination is done" for the day. I worried over her. She seemed like a good and normal friend to have. I kept thinking. Well too late now…

"Hey Flame-brain we should of told Lucy about Mirajane's true nature right? And about her examination methods..." Gray asked in a cool worried tone.

"Yeah…but too late now. All we can do now is hope Luce has a strong will to keep her sanity here."

"Yeah." Both of them silently hopped that Lucy was going to come back and not mentally scarred.

(Back to Lucy POV)

I was strapped down to that wooden chair. And Mirajane placed something on my head. It felt cold and smelt like iron. My eyes widened realizing that this thing was. It was going to electrocute me. Oh god. Oh why. Father I hate you for making me be here. Am I going to die?! She panicked.

"This may hurt a bit. But this is all in the means of becoming healthy again. It will be on a Medium-low setting since this is your first examination." She said in a cheer voice. I was thinking about Mirajane might be a sadist who takes pleasure from these "examinations." Suddenly I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard something like a lever. Which has been pulled down with a loud BANG.

A current of electricity came and I screamed so loud and on the top of my throat. Mirajane was just standing there smiling even giggling. I was literally shocked in both emotion and physically.

Finally after a full minute she turned it off. I was panting and my voice was horsed. Mirajane unstrapped me and I fell off the chair. I felt dizzy and shocked literally.

"You'll be fine once you get some sleep." Mira said.

I only nodded. I couldn't find any words to say and my throat hurt a lot. I saw my spirit friends. Loke was holding a frown. He wanted to destroy that machine. Princess Im sorry I wasn't there to help you. He whispered and hugged her. But then… Natsu busted the door and came in. I quickly grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder. Loke stunned and then quickly became somewhat angry that he took away his Lucy. The temperature dropped a few degrees but Natsu and Gray didn't notice it what so ever. Lucy however shivered. Natsu thought it was just out of fear.

"I'm going to take Luce back to her room Mira." Natsu said and quickly left the room. Gray caught up and followed.

Loke followed the trio and Natsu reached her room. I felt so tired and scared. I closed my eyes and passed out. I knew Natsu and Gray were still in my room. But I didn't care. I just felt so tired I could sleep all day. And my head hurt a lot. Loke just came over and hugged me one last time.

"I'll check on you when you wake up Princess" He said. I could barely hear him but all it matters was getting rid of this horrid headache.

(Natsu/Gray POV)

Gray and Natsu heard a loud scream at the end of the hallway. They knew that was all Mirajane's doing. Quickly ran towards that room. To find Lucy being electrocuted in a wooden chair. They frowned deeply. And once they saw that it was all over. They busted the door open and Took Lucy.

"Im going to take Luce back to her room Mira." Natsu said in a low harsh tone and quickly left the room. Gray followed.

Both of us reached the room. And both of them could tell Lucy has passed out. Natsu set her on the bed and looked at Gray. Not noticing Loke's presence.

Both of them sighed and sat down on the ground.

"We should at least keep guard and when she wakes up tell her what's going on." Gray said. And Natsu nodded in agreement.

Both of them listened to Lucy's breathing. She was breathing evenly. But they noticed a small tear come out. Both of them pitied her to be here. Both of them sighed knowing it's going o be a long afternoon and night.
