Hey guys! Sorry it tool like, forever to write this. My secrete to writing is pizza (silly, right?) and I haven't had any lately.
I would like to thank all of you that came up with names for the dragon-creature! You're gonna find out who won in this chapter.
Natsu: Johny, why does it look like Gray attacked your house?
Me: *facepalm*
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.
Recap:
Even though Natsu strove to keep calm and figure out a way to possibly help her, he just kept getting angrier. His thoughts were in a jumble, as he wasn't even able to make out one from another. This was one thing he hated. Not being able to make sense of his thoughts. It was bad enough Lucy was trapped in her own mind, but to have his mind moving to fast for him to even begin to comprehend is too much.
He gave up and closed his eyes. As he tried to block out all of the thoughts that cluttered his mind, he fell asleep again.
Chapter 13
Come on Lucy! You can keep running! Don't let them catch you! Lucy thought as she was yet again running from the unnamed creatures. She was really getting tired of running from the creatures, who seem to be getting stronger and faster each time she encounters them. She knew that if things kept going like they were, she would fall prey to the dragon like creatures.
Lucy tightly gripped the "call Natsu" card in her hand as she made a sharp left turn. She was hot, sweaty, and tired, yet if that last dream said anything about these creatures, sh didn't want them to get to her. I mean, they had killed Natsu just by sending him into the side of a hill! Who knows what they could do to her, but she wasn't waiting to find out.
She scanned the area and saw the same alleyway as before, and decided to try it again. She was at least 30 feet ahead of them, and they hadn't made the turn yet. She gathered up all her strength and ran as fast as she could to the opening of the alley. She makes the sharp turn and hides behind the metal trash cans like last time. Only this time, there was something different.
Right beside her was a sleeping figure. The only reason she could tell that it was sleeping was the steady rise and fall of its chest. Well, she should more or less say back, because it was facing the ground. The only indication as to who it was, was the salmon hair on their head. No way in Earthland could say mistake that hair for anyone else.
"Natsu?" Lucy asked aloud.
"Natsu?"
Natsu groaned at the unmistakable voice of his partner. It was nice to finally hear her voice in person. He reached out of her ankle and basically hugged it and took in the comforting scent that is Lucy. He could basically see the blush forming on her face and smiled. "I'm glad you're okay," He mumbled, low enough that Lucy couldn't even hear him.
"Natsu! Can I have my ankle back?" Lucy half yelled, half whispered. Natsu, noticing that the ground right now is very uncomfortable, let go of her ankle. But of course, since he's Natsu and doesn't want her to disappear, moves into a sitting position and grabbed her waist instead. Lucy let out a squeal of protest, but Natsu ignored it and pulled her onto his lap. Yep, now he could feel her whole body heating up.
"Let go of me Natsu!" Lucy squealed, turning her head to look at his face. His eyes were closed and had his child-like grin on. Lucy then realized that he was mostly asleep and didn't know what he was doing, and that he won't remember when he wakes up. Then, a thought came to her.
"How did he get here?" Lucy thought aloud. Before then, she had been the only person there. Now, she wasn't alone. She felt herself smile, and then feeling tired again, feel asleep in his lap. He chuckled, then it hit him like a blast of fresh air.
"HOW DID I GET HERE!" He yelled out loud, so loud that you could have sworn that the ground was shaking because of it. Lucy, being disrupted from her peaceful sleep, jump about five feet in the air when he yelled.
"DON'T YELL WHEN SOMEONE'S TRYING TO- Wait. What did you say?" Lucy asked when she finally recomposed herself. It was quite interesting that his brain was working, and she wanted to find out what it was thinking.
"I want to know HOW IN EARTHLAND DID I GET HERE?!" He yelled again, while starting to stand up to face Lucy. Lucy face palmed. She just asked that question not even five minuets ago, and now he's repeating it. Maybe his brain's not working after all?
"I don't know Natsu. Maybe it has to do something with the spell." Agitatedly, Lucy turned around and started walking out of the alley when she saw them.
Makarov sat at his desk, which had about thirty books on it at the moment. In front of him sat Levy, who was scanning through three books at a time. It was hard to find any useful information about the Suu~īto· dorīmu spell, since the spell has not been used in three thousand years. How that man dug up the spell in the first place, Makarov could not figure, nor did he want to at this point.
"Aha!" Levy said in success. She picks up an old, leather-bound book that was falling apart, and put it to where Master could see it. "It says 'This old spell has many twists and turns in it. No one knows exactly what will happen in it. Though, combined with the counter spell for the Shi no ame spell, the results can be drastic. The only way for the person to wake up is for them to realize who or what they need the most. If the person does not do this in the first seven days, they will not wake up and should be considered dead. There is no other way to help them, but beware. Many strange things happen around that person.
The person would be stuck in the second part of the Death Dreams, known as Run. They would be chased by dragon-like creatures, known as the Drasocone, which are real. Even if they do find the red door, they will not be freed from the spell. Instead, they would start that part of the dream again and again until they realize who or what they need most.'"
"So now all we have to do is wait. Let us hope that Lucy is not as dense as Natsu." Makarov said. He looked up at the bluenette, who was indeed stunned. She hadn't figured that he would be thinking that same thing she was. So it was official, those two were madly in love and utterly dense. This was hopeless.
Erza, Wendy, and Gray walked up to the infirmary. They were going to check if Lucy had woken up, or if Natsu somehow has either gotten free from her grasp or killed her. No one hoped for the latter.
They opened the door the find Natsu sleeping in Lucy's bed, a sight the Wendy hid her eyes from. Nothing new there. Erza sighed and set a new plate of fire chicken on what's supposed to be his bed, right by the remnants of his other plate. He had total missed the bed when he threw it.
Erza's eyes examined the pair on the bed, wishing that none of this had happened. That's when her eyes landed upon something that wasn't there before. In Lucy's free hand, was a card that looked like it belonged to Cana. Erza walked over to the bed and carefully took the card out of Lucy's hand. She notices that the card says "Call Natsu" on it and has a picture of Natsu on it.
"Gray," Erza said, turning to see the Ice-Make Mage stripping. She ignored that. "Go take this to Master immediately."
The dragon-like creatures found them and were charging at them. The alley was a dead end and there was nowhere to hind anymore. The got closer and closer. Lucy squeezed her eyes shut, not wanting to see what was about to happen to her. Right when she thought they would get her, nothing changed. Next thing she knew, she heard Natsu screaming curse after curse and she could praticaly see him fighting with them.
He must have took the blow for me, Lucy thought. Then she heard the sound of a body falling on the ground.
Natsu.
So does this make up for taking so long to write it? Hahaha, so you all see the winner, Naturesshadows .
Natsu: You're so lazy.
Me: Why'd you say that?
Natsu: Because you make me do everything for you!
Me: That's not being lazy, it's called using my brain. Please Review and what-not!
See 'ya!
