Time for some interaction between Lucy and Cobra :D
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
Chapter 7: Bright Eyes
Lucy P.O.V.
I'm tied up to a big, purple glowing lacrima and I can feel how it's clawing for my magic power. Erik, or Cobra as his name is now, is sitting in front of me on a dark wooden chair. His duty was to guard me, in case of Fairy Tail finding me. I still can't believe this entire situation. How could he do this to me, while his letter said he would keep me safe.
"Lucy, your string of thoughts is almost making me head explode."
"Tch. It's your own fault." I turn my head away and start nibbling on my bottom lip.
He sighs heavily and stands up. I try to hear where he's going but I can't hear any footsteps. Just when I think he didn't move at all, I can feel his hand underneat my chin. I open my eyes quickly and I stare into his purple eyes. The same eyes that used to look so friendly, are now hard and cold.
'Who is this person? Because it sure as hell isn't Erik.' I can see the coldness being replaced by a sad look and my eyes immediately widen.
"It's still me, Lucy. I never wanted this to happen, not to you."
I shake my head slightly. "Why, Erik? Why are you with these people?"
"When I told you to run, more and more guards kept coming. The Oración Seis saved me and gave me a home."
'I could've done the same, if only you hadn't told me to run.' His eyes widen quickly and he lowers his head.
"I couldn't risk your life."
"Right now, you're doing exactly that? You know I'll die because of this canon."
Erik turns around and shakes his head. I can not betray my family, Lucy. Not even for you."
"Well, if you're planning on letting me die, at least finish me off quickly, Cobra." The tone in my voice makes him flinch. He turns around quickly and wraps his hand around my throat. All kinda of different emotions flash across his eyes. Anger, fear, sadness, confusion, even.. Love? His grip loosened and he falls down to his knees, his head leaning against my stomach.
"Erik?"
'I'm sorry, Lucy. I can't do it."
"It's okay. Look at me." I smile brightly when he looks up and our eyes meet.
Erik/ Cobra P.O.V.
'You have to let her go, Erik? Haven't you figured it out yet? She's your mate, my boy.' No, she can't be my mate. I've already done enough to hurt her. 'Idiot, even she knows it. I mean, look at her!'
At that same moment she calls out for me. "Look at me." I slowly lift my head and she smiles brightly when our eyes meet. The same bright eyes that I fell in love with. I have to get her out of here!
I stand up quickly and nod at her. My hands fly to her restraints and I use my poison to get her out of them.
"Thank you, Erik." She wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me tightly. A small smile appears on my face and I close my eyes. But something doesnt feel right.
"The seis are already taken down. They'll come after me next, Lucy."
"I'm not leaving you behind again. My guild mates will not hurt you. After all, I know everything. You are mine, and I am yours, Erik." She blushes brightly and a cup her cheek in my hand.
The doors are pushed open and 2 men walk in with a scowl on their faces. One with long, black hair and piercing red eyes, while the other has blond, spiky hair and blue eyes.
"Laxus, Gajeel!" Lucy smiles brightly towards both of them.
"Lucy, please step away from him."
"I'm sorry guys but I can't do that." Lucy leans into my arm and looks up to me. "After all, what kind of mate would I bei f I left you alone again?"
I chuckle softly. "Quite a bad one, Bright eyes."
"Who says you're his mate, Bunny? Did he fill your head with that crap?"
Lucy shakes her head at the black haired man. "No, Gajeel. I can feel it."
I lift my head and take a deep breath. "Brain is coming. I have to get you out of here, Lucy."
"You're not taking my sister anymore, Snake Boy."
'Snake Boy? Seriously, Laxus?' Lucy's soul is laughing hard and I look at her when she giggles.
"Lucy, this is no laughing matter. Let's get the hell out of here." The blonde, Laxus, holds his hand out towards Lucy, but instead of taking it she squeezes my hand gently. She really wants me to go with her.
"Let's go, Erik."
