Chapter 88
Fatalis Vitium
Natsu saw struck dumb as he watched Lucy descend the stairs. Her hair was curled gently and pulled into a complicated twist. Clearly Cancer had done his job well.
Her dress was deep red that sparkled in the low light of the chandler.
'It looks like fire,' Natsu thought whimsically as he stared.
He was so wrapped up in watching the blonde that he didn't immediately notice she wasn't alone.
Another flash of red drew Natsu's attention and his jaw dropped slightly.
Sticking tightly to Lucy's side with a self-satisfied grin was the last person Natsu expected to see.
Flare.
