Recap:
"My slayers," I smile, "I'm sorry for being so selfish and thinking I could handle it on my own. I'm sorry for putting you through all this. I was worried you two were going to get hurt and that scared me more than anything." I whisper as their soft snores fill up the empty space.
After dragging the two numbskulls back through their path of destruction and into the mansion I went back into my room to take a shower. After days of being unconscious and almost dying I did not smell even remotely nice.
After stripping out of my clothes and stepping into the hot stream of water I started to feel a throbbing pain in my head, I didn't think anything of it and continued cleaning myself until the pain became much more intense, I fell to me knees and began clutching at my head. It felt like my head was being torn apart when suddenly it stopped. I looked up only to realise I wasn't in the shower anymore. Where am I? I looked around but couldn't see much, it was rather dark the only light was being cast out by two torches on either side of my chair. Wait, chair? Since when have I been sitting? As I pondered the possibilities I heard footsteps approaching from in front of me. Out of the darkness a stunning black haired woman appeared, she courteously bowed down on one knee too me before she spoke.
"Princess, it appears our plan has failed. Zeref has given in and submitted to Ms Heartfillia. What shall we do know?" She questions. I'm utterly puzzeled. Does this mean I'm in someone elses body?
I open my mouth to speak when the splitting pain returns and I'm suddenly back in the shower, hot water spilling over my body. I'm unnerved. I quickly finish my shower and dress before I head downstairs where I can question Zeref. Before I find the man in question though I notice Lisanna looking forlornly out one of the windows, I approach her and gently touch her shoulder. She jumps as if she hadn't noticed I was there which was odd because as a mage you tend to notice when someone is coming up behind you.
"Lis hun, you okay? You're awfully distracted." I ask as she turns to me.
"Yeah Luce, I'm fine, just a little worried, Natsu hasn't come back yet." She smiles sadly.
"Oh yeah, I noticed he wasn't there when I woke up. How long has he been gone?" I ask inquisitively.
"Since last night." She replies quietly.
"Woah really? And he hasn't come back even once? Are you sure? It's not like Natsu to go 5 minutes without food let alone an entire day. I frown, "I might go out and look for him, wanna come with?" I ask as I unfurl Ash's wings. She nods before she changes into her bird soul takeover. I open up the window and we take off, heading out towards the forest.
Three hours later and we haven't seen any trace of the pink haired idiot. I admit; I'm deeply worried. I signal to Lisanna to head back to the house so we can inform the others and regain our magic. Landing at the front door Lisanna and I walk inside and head to the kitchen where we find Erza and Gray in an argument about something and Happy flying around looking for Natsu.
"So I'm guessing that none of you have seen flamebrain either?" I ask as I walk into the kitchen and sit at the table.
"Lucy, Lisanna. Where have you been?" Erza asks as she too sits at the table.
"Out looking for Natsu." Lisanna answers rather timidly for her.
"We had no luck finding him. So, I wanna know when you each last saw him. Then we'll know roughly what time he disappeared." I announce.
"How will knowing what time he disappeared help us find him?" Gray asks, almost concealing the worry in his voice.
"At this moment? It won't. However we might find something later on where it will come in useful to know the time he went missing. Now, Erza, when did you last see him?" I said with a firmness in my voice that made everyone realise how serious I was.
"Hmmmmm," she hums as she brings her hand to her chin, "Last night, before dinner." She answers.
"Gray?" I turn to him.
"After dinner, he was walking up to your room to check on you I think." He replies.
"And you Lisanna?"
"The same time as Gray." She timidly replies.
"Happy? You two are practically attached at the hip." I turn to the exceed.
"Before Lunch yesterday!" He declares, "I was napping from Lunch until after dinner!"
"Okay so the last time any one of us saw him was after last nights dinner and he was walking up to me room, correct?" Nods from everyone prompt me to continue. "Okay well lets retrace his footsteps and head up to my room and look for any clues that could tell us where he is. Okay?" Nods again, "Okay, lets go then."
Walking up the stairs and heading towards my room we're looking around the halls like hawks, walking up the stairs at the top Erza stops.
"What is it Erza?" I ask as I finish climbing the stairs.
"Don't you feel it?" She questions, worry etched onto her face.
Honing my senses I realise that there's unfamiliar magic all around this section of the house. No, not entirely unfamiliar. Suddenly the stabbing pain from earlier erupts back in my skull and I'm brought to my knees, screaming in pain. Everyone's eyes are on me, wide and worried, but I can't do anything except clutch at my head in pain and scream.
"Lucy! Lucy! What's wrong?!" I vaguely hear people calling for me until I'm cast into the same dark abyss as earlier. The pain is gone. I'm sitting again, the same place as earlier, the same woman from earlier is bowing before me.
"Princess, what shall we do with him?" The woman asks. Deciding to try to get as information out of this situation as possible I speak.
"With who?" My voice is not my own. Good, this will work.
"Princess? The Heartfillia's friend? You ordered us to capture him did you not?" She asks skeptically.
"Natsu?"
"Yes, I believe that's his name."
"Where is he?" I demand.
"Princess? He's with the other members of Fairy Tail? Concealed in a magic cancelling chamber. " She frowns, "Are you okay?"
I'm about to reply when I'm suddenly thrown back into my own body. I lift my head off the ground, panting and sweating. A grim look makes it's way onto my face.
"Lucy? Lucy what happened?" Gray asks.
"I'm not a hundred percent sure myself but one thing I'm sure of is that Natsu has been kidnapped…" Shouts of protest pipe up, I hold my hand up to silence them… "And so has the rest of Fairy Tail." Everyone's faces drop.
"No. No, how can that be? Lucy, how do you know this?" Erza questions.
"I have no idea but it's the second time that pain has happened and I've seen something. Don't tell Sting and Rogue about this please." I ask as I stand up before I hear foot steps coming down the hall.
"Don't tell Sting and Rogue what?" Rogue asks. I look up and see both Rogue and Sting.
"Uhhhh, nothing? It's a surprise?" I comes out more as a question than the statement it was intended to be. "Guys, we'll continue this talk later. I have something I want to talk about with my idiots." I smile and walk up to them, loop my arms through theirs and skip to my room, dragging them with me.
As soon as we're behind my doors I let go of them and throw myself on my bed, both of them looking at me as if I'd gone crazy. "Guys, don't look at me like that." I pout, "Now, come sit with me?" I plead and give them my best puppy dog eyes, they cave instantly and sit beside me, I drape my body of theirs and lay back, warm and safe in the presence of my dragons.
I sigh contently before Sting starts to speak, not wanting him to ruin my moment of bliss, I yank his face down to mine, whisper a small "shhhhh" to him before placing a soft chaste kiss on his lips and letting him go and snuggling back down. He looks utterly puzzled but complies with my demand of quiet, Rogue on the other hand begins to voice his protest before I do the same thing to him, yanking his face to mine telling him to shh and kiss him.
Sting and Rogue both grin at the same time. Oh no, they're up to something. Suddenly, I feel 2 pairs of hands on my sides, tickling me. Oh no, giggling like mad, I try and swat their hands away, only to fail. Giggling like a mad woman, it isn't long before Rogue grabs my face, whispers shh and kisses me, harder and more passionate than I did to him.
"Oh so that's how it is is it?" I ask between giggles and failed attempts at shooing their hands away. This time it's Sting who grabs me, doing the same thing Rogue just did to me and kissing me makes me giggle harder at their methods. Getting tired of wriggling and struggling I manage to flip over and pin Sting down. "If you wanted a kiss all you had to do was this." I mutter before I place my lips on his before I suddenly remove myself from him and attack Rogue instead. Planting a few kisses on his lips I flop back down on my bed between them, I lace my fingers with theirs.
"Man that's no fair." Sting complains, "Why did Rogue get more than me?"
"Aw, I'm sorry darling." I lift his hand to my mouth and place a few kisses on the back of his hand before playfully nibbling on one of his fingers, their synchronised intake of breath confused me until I realised that I had inadvertently started sucking Sting's finger.
"Damn Lucy, do you not realise what you do to us?" Rogue's voice is husky in my ear, his tongue darting out from between his lips and licking up my neck to behind my ear.
"Or do you just want to see us suffer as you prance around in those short clothes of yours and being all friendly with Gray and Natsu?" Sting asks as he nibbles on my earlobe.
"Lucy, you're ours. No one elses." Rogue growls as he grasps hold of my breasts before slowly sinking his teeth into my flesh.
"Ours." Sting repeats as he bites the other side of my neck, his hands keeping my hair out of the way. I release a small moan at the sensation. Arching my back at the wave of pleasure that passes through me, the spots where they bit me feel like they're on fire.
"Yours." I moan at the sensations. "Ah, I'm yours. And you're mine." I shift as the heat between my legs intensifies. At the same time without warning, one of each of their hands finds their way between my thighs. Massaging my most sensitive area through my clothes. "Ah. Mmmmmm, Please. Wait." I murmur.
"What? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Sting asks, stopping what he was doing and looking at me terrified. "Did we do something wrong?"
"No, not at all. Just, not right now. Once all this is over. Then I have something to motivate me to kick butt." I smile.
"Until what is over Lucy?" Rogue inquires as he gently kisses the wounds on my neck.
"Ah, oops. I guess I should tell you guys… Natsu has…" choosing my words carefully here as to not worry them about the head pains, "Gone missing…" I shuffle back into my pillows "My best friend is missing." I mumble. Sting and Rogue wrap their arms around me as a silently let a few tears escape as I worry about Natsu and Fairy Tail.
"Why would you need to kick butt if he's only missing?" Sting asks as he nuzzles my stomach.
"Because, uh, I'm gonna kick his butt when I find him." I nod before I lay back and drag Rogue with me. "Please, be careful." I mutter as I grab hold of their hands and drift off to sleep.
Woo, I am so sorry guys! Like bigtime majorly sorry. I've just had no motivation for this story. I'll try my best to get a new chapter up like once a month. Please forgive me. ;_;
