Chapter 5

Lucy... Lucy... she opens her eyes and sees Mirajane Where are you? Why are you here? what happened to you, come back! as Mirajane said these she began to fade No, we don't need her she didn't do anything she deserves to be here said a gruff voice appearing to view, it was Natsu Natsu..Lucy said then the bandit king came into view Your just a worthless weakling he said repeating it over and over again she couldn't hold it anymore I'm not. ... I'm not she said covering her face and then she couldn't hold it anymore STOP IT! she screamed waking up from that horrible nightmare

Beads of sweat poured from her face Dream... only a dream... "Lucy are you okay?" asked Kimora concerned. It was morning the cave was filled with golden light, the sun shone in the horizon and the bandits were cooking breakfest over the fire some of them even looked up wondering why she was yelling as she was aware of her surroundings she calmed down "Don't worry, I am fine" Lucy replied weakly Kimora felt her forehead "It's really hot, you have a fever" she said to Lucy What?! No way I can't have af fever now! Lucy thought

Then Lucy noticed that the bandits weren't so happy "Shoot!" some said "How? we kept her safe didn't we?" some mumbled Lucy looked at Kimora who was giving a small smile WHAT THE HE'LL IS GOING ON!? Lucy thought Kimora read her face and whispered "I'll tell you everything later" and added "For now sit tight" The Bandit King entered into the jaws of the cave and also noticed that the bandits weren't in a good mood "Ye band what's the problem" one of them stepped forward and said "My king, the girlie seems to have a fever and you know what's the problem with that" The king thought deeply his face turning into a frown "Yargh how could it be? Did ye do anything to harm them" replied the king furiously "No my lord" replied the bandit "Oh well, that means what we've planned must wait tommorow" he said disappointed "Aye king" replied the bandits

Then a bandit came running into the cave his eyes, excited and in glee "My king my king!" he yelled "I spotted a caravan riding through the terrefs full of gold!" the bandits disappointed faces turned into glee "Aye! The gods have given us a gift for us! Let's chase and hunt" said the king "Onwards!" and the bandits replied "Aye!" and the crew ran out of the cave to fetch their horses Meanwhile Lucy and Kimora were trying to process what was going on "Kimora why were the bandits upset when you said that I have a fever?" asked Lucy

"That's because there are rules and regulations to do the ritual" Kimora replied "One of them are the sacrifice can not be diseased or not have a body part" "Since I have a fever they can't preform the sacrifice until I 'm better" stated Lucy. Kimora shook her head left to right "Well that is correct but I just said you have fever so I can stall the process" said Kimora "So in other words-" "I'm not sick and you were just trying to get us out of here" Lucy finished "Exactly" replied Kimora


A few hours later

"Kimora we can make our escape plan" said Lucy eyeing the bandit Warren as he was dozing off "Mmm" Kimora replied nodding her head Lucy took the lead "I have an idea" she said "Sure let's hear it" the princess said "Since the Warrens just about half a meter away from us we can use that big stick to fish the key that hanging on his belt" she said pointing to a large stick "Wait, your celestial keys are hanging on his belt too, let's get it" said Kimora "That's what I was thinking too" responded Lucy "Let's do this" said Kimora and they were in the process of applying their escape plan to action

Lucy's plan was going smoothly she got her keys and they were out inching their way out of the dark cave the moon was gleaming almost a full moon but not yet the forest was thick full of greenery she knew that the bandits can attack again even if they escape but she had no choice. They were out of the cave and into the woods they planned to go to the village and explain what happened. The girls tread carefully on the lookout for anything that are or might be attackable Kimora looked at Lucy and saw her pained eyes

"Lucy, why is there sadness on your eyes" asked the princess "It's O.k it's just. ..." her voice trailed off "When I get to your village I wonder if they'ĺl shelter me " she sighed "Lucy that's a very silly doubt why in the world would my village not shelter the woman who saved me?" asked Kimora "Kimora, I didn't save you! I just ran away with you!" she screamed "I know my village better than you do, who knows better? me or you" she said putting her hand to her chest "So just relax"

They walked a little more and soon they knew it was late, very late they were very tired and couldn't even move a muscle "Let's go to sleep, Kimora" said Lucy yawning "We'll walk tommorow" Kimora couldn't agree more. And the two ladies fell asleep in the middle of the forest as the dark settled in
