Chapter 32
Parting Shot
Foe suitably vanquished Natsu gave a thumbs-up to Lucy, who was still sitting on the ground.
Normally she would have given him a thumbs-up in return, or a smile at least. Instead she and Happy were staring at him with a mixture of shock and horror.
"Natsu look out." Happy screamed frantically, diving towards him.
Natsu barely had time to process as he felt a something wrap around his ankle and suddenly he was underwater. Struggling he managed to free his ankle but a sudden realization made his stomach sink as fast as the rest of him.
He was drowning.
