Fairy Tail Resistance chapter 9:
It was morning. And this I knew by the sun shining straight to my eye lids, causing a great pain in my head from the light. Groaning, I got up to go and continue my duties as the leader of the resistance. But just when I'm about to get up….
Gonk
"Ow! What the hell was that for!? And how did you get that frying pan?!"
Of course, Lucy was hitting my head so hard for no reason. Good form to start the morning, eh?
"I had every reason to do so! You are at my bed! Out! Out!"
Exasperated, I ran as fast as I could from my own room with things being thrown at me by the blonde wonder. Even Happy got thrown out the room even though he had nothing to do with this! I fumed, mad over the fact that she has to be sleeping in my room and Happy has to suffer everything. Oh well, let her be enjoying the few commodities from here. I got up smiling, and began walking towards the dining room and see what's for breakfast.
Once inside, I greeted everybody from the door, and they all responded from their seats, as Mira and Kinana handed everybody their foods. I took seat in an empty table apart from everybody and ordered them some scrabble eggs with extra chili and jalapeños. As I waited for my order, a tall slender man appeared and took seat infront of me. It was Loke.
"Fancy meeting ya here." I smirked a bit.
"Of course, at the castle they all think I spend my days in whore houses." He smirked back but then got serious. "But enough joking. I want to speak with you some serious matters."
Understanding, my lips pursed a bit and my eyes appeared as if frowning. "And those shall be?"
"About the Princess."
"I'm listening."
At this, the lion guy got comfortable and cleared his throat, letting his right hand form a fist infront of his chin and the left by the right elbow. I raised a brow but let it be since I knew him to be a showman whenever he felt like doing so. I asked him to begin talking, and he did so.
"I believe the girl you claim to be the prisioner is actually the Princess Lucy Heartfilia, the one that is supposed to be ruling the Kingdom. Not Phantom Lord."
I widen a bit my eyes as in surprise but lowered them fast. Here, Mira came with my food and some ale for Loke. We gave our thanks to Mirajane as she left and went back to talking, I took a bite. " So you are saying that this Lucy is actually the High Princess of Fiore…?" I looked around and noticed Juvia flirting with Gray and Gajeel being stoic as Levy read some charts. "What do you recommend to do, Loke?" I spoke after gazing around.
"I suggest we act as if nothing. Unless you would like to corner her and ask her about everything…?"
"I think I'll go with the latter one. Better to know and not say anything. She thinks us all as dense." He nodded. "You should better go. Just in case she recognizes you. Tell Virgo and Aries she's here." He nodded once again and stood up to leave. " Oh and Leo?" he turned "be careful. We need all alive and well. Don't let anybody notice you guys."
He scoffed. "We've been years there assisting the princess. I don't think a small thing like this will uncover us." I bob my head to the front.
He gave me the Resistance's sign and I did it so back as we usually do when somebody has a long journey. Just as he took his horse to leave and I saw him marching out through the window, Lucy came through the doors smiling to us all. She greeted all and all greeted her, just in the same manner as I but more calm. The blond girl began searching around from the door and found me at the table. She smiled, and walked towards me and took the same chair as Loke, in front of me.
"Goodmorning Natsu!"
"Morning, Luce" …Princess Lucy I recited in my mind and gulped a bit of orange juice. "Slept well?"
"Yosh!" she grinned. And I could literally feel like a sun radiated from her towards me… making me freeze.
"That is good to know. Did you order anything with Mira?"
Almost all the morning and half the afternoon we sat there talking, enjoying the peacefulness of each other, as if the world did not exists. I grinned almost the whole time. Even after we finished our plates, and the dinning was empty, we continued being there. After a while we took a walk around the places of the fort to verify the works of all or if anybody needed help and later went back to the dinning room to have our lunch. It all went well and she was quite happy and enjoying herself. But it wasn't that happy for me, since the idea of being seated in front of a royal was nagging me. I excused myself after a while, saying I had to be in the planning room, and asked her to go with the girls and help out. But she denied. Saying she preferred to go with me to the planning room since she is better at reading stuff.
"Besides, I want to see Levy! I heard she and Gajeel were a big thing together." She smirked.
I chuckled and took her out the dinning room and around the stairs from the hallway in the first floor. At the back was a door, a well hidden door in the darknesss, that decended to the lab, which is where we are going. Once inside, the green hue lights from machines and computers became apparent after going a bit down some rusty metal stairs. I have to ask Gajeel to fix this soon. The sound of bubbles and whirling of machines filled the small space, to see at the bottom what appeared to be a low budget lab. Lucy, who was behind me, gasped and passed me to hang with Levy, as I walked towards Freed, whom had the hots for both Laxus and Bixlow.
"Freed, Report."
"All is done. What we need to do now is trace how we reach from the entrance and into the throne room or the room of Jose Porla, the now King."
"Hmm…. We need to ask some of the ones that are in the castle, but they all left already…" Damn… why did I had to send Loke away so soon?
"There."
We all looked up from the blue map of the castle and it's seven floors to see a brown eyed girl with a straight face pointing at a wall. And who gave her command to—
" There is a secret entrance. That's were some of the maids from the kitchen and around go through to take some food and other unnecessary things from the castle to their families and friends in the town or villages."
"And how do you know so…?"
"Because I got a friend that works there. And she brings me food when my dad doesn't do anything for me." …Or you used it to escape and run away from the kingdom…
"Hm… I shall further investigate this. Natsu, could we send some of our scouts there?" I nod. "Then I will go and announce this to Laxus and the rest." Said the green haired man. Obviously he's searching for some quality time with the blonde tall man. Too bad he's behind Mira's rump.
"And I will continue doing the rest of the preparations. If there is an opening there, and nobody has noticed so, that means there are no guards there!" I nodded to the blue haired girl. "Now go! And leave me alone!" I laughed as she pushed us away.
Now, out of the lab and into the dark hallway, I chuckled alongside Lucy. I looked at her and smiled. She was truly beautiful and easy to talk to. Not like those ladies you imagine to be in the royals. Probably she did escape from the castle from the clutches of Jose Porla and her dad, for what I heard her dad wanted to marry her off to that old creepy man.
We headed to the room, after eating in separate groups because I had to talk with Erza and the rest of the gang and she wanted to spend some time with Mira, and she took to changing behind some screens made for changing and I took off my vest and changed to some fresh brown pants I use for sleeping in. Soon, Lucy came out and was dressed only in a short silk dress and a book in hand; I think Anna Karenina. I smiled.
"Anna Karenina now isn't it?"
"One of the best. Love the complex romance between Anna and Vronsky. Though I belive she should've stayed with Karenin."
"You might say that now, but Anna had an intense passion for Vronsky."
"True… But one should do what society expects you to do."
"Not if you find it it's wrong."
"And how would you explain her suicide of throwing herself to a train?"
"The train would symbolize the fastness of society and what they believe, and Anna the liberty of doing what she wants and is right."
"Hmm…" I walked closer to her.
"Would you…? Would you do what's right and not what they believe?"
"I suppose so. If it's something I would highly want."
"Like this?"
I pressed my lips to hers. I don't actually know why, I just felt like kissing those rosy lips since yesterday. At first, she didn't respond back, but slowly, very slowly, she relax into the kiss and brought her arms to my neck, forgetting the book on the floor. I took hold of her waist, moved my hands to her thighs, and raised her so she can wrap her long legs around my hips, and threw her to the bed, where we continued kissing as I layed ontop of her.
Sorry for being slow on writing here. Been dealing with some issues and only have 3 days of school plus graduation and prom. It's been hell also by college. Though! I updated sooner!
If you want me to write the sex scene do write in the comments. If not, then also write in the comments! I just wanted to let it be for your discretion, which I'll make it a chapter or half a chapter before I continue the story. For those who guessed she was the princess, I give you all virtual cookies and for those who didn't then cookies again to all. But half of it. XD
I also felt like many times I wrote like in old style (Victorian era where everything is talked fancy) or like an English lass. Maybe I've been reading too many novels that contain English ladies and gentlemen.
And I felt it was rushed even though it contained around 1700 words.
Oh well! Good day and hope to write next chapter soon!
