NaLu Royal Love - Sacred Heart
Hello! This is my second story and I got inspired by a royal film I saw and a few fanfics I read.
Lucy
I can't wait to settle into my apartment! I just got away from the manor and I feel great! "Ah! This is best feeling! FREEDOM!" I was walking down the lane and I decided to walk along the edge of the river, making people on the boats watch me and some calling out "You're gonna fall if you're not careful!" I merely laughed and stuck my tongue out at them only for them to shrug their shoulders and continue down the river.
The wind picked up and I swayed in the wind and quickly stepped away from the edge only to step on a cat who was by my side. It yelped and I jumped back wards, my foot slipped and my eyes widened as me and the cat fell into the river. My head went under the water and I grabbed onto the cat, keeping its head above the water.
I heard shouts and the sound of someone's voice getting closer while the river pulled us both along. The cat grabbed onto me and I held onto it tight as my head ducked under the water again. My head whacked off a rock and the corners of my eyes blackened. I feel lightheaded, I fell into the darkness just as I felt someone grip my hands and tug me out, the cat clinging to me.
I woke up in a strange room, with the worst headache I have ever had! Geez! Why won't it go away already?
"Hey are you ok?" That's when I noticed a blonde guy sitting next to me with a curious look on his face. NOT worried but CURIOUS! I felt pissed at this and glared at him.
"Where the hell am I?" He looked at me in surprise and grinned. "The palace." I opened my eyes as wide as saucers and leaped out of bed, making him jump and fall backwards. "DID YOU KIDNAP ME?!" He looked at me like I was crazy until finally replying. "That's one way to talk to your saviour I guess." I stared at him until he looked irritated.
"You almost drowned, I saved you." He said that slowly to make it look like I was dumb or something. I glared at him again and he grinned mischievously.
"Ok so can I leave now?" I started to walk to the door when he stopped me. "Nurses said they need to do a check up on you before you leave so could you wait like five minutes while they do it?" I pouted and crossed my arms. "But I wanna get out of here already!" The boy laughed at this and I glared at him. He waved his hands around in defeat and stepped aside. "You can go if you want to be apprehended by guards.
I smiled, "Ok thanks, I'll be going now." I skipped past him before he could say anything but as soon as I got outside the room I bumped into another person. "I'm really sorry!" I bowed and continued running down the hall, but someone grabbed my arm and tugged me back. I looked up into the dark eyes of my capturer. "Who are you?" He looked straight into my eyes until the blonde-haired guy came running out of the infirmary room or whatever it was.
"Sorry, Dad! She was just- I was just!" He struggled for words as I sighed. "I'm really sorry for bumping into you, I was saved by this man and was taking my leave, now if you please can you let me go because your grip is starting to hurt my arm." The blonde's jaw dropped and the man who held me loosened his grip but didn't let go. "I repeat, who are you?" I sighed. Do I really have to be hassled by everyone I meet? Life is so unfair.
"My name is Lucy Heartfilia, now if you please could you let me go." He looked surprised by this comment and the blonde's attention was drawn to me. "Wait, like, the Lucy Heartfilia?" I nodded and the man gripping my hand's mouth curled into a grin. "There's a big bounty on your head little miss."
Then I realised my mistake and slapped a palm to my head. "Damn! I forgot about that!" I had to act quickly. I kicked the man in the stomach. He bent over, protecting his stomach and I turned and sprinted down the hallway. "I want her back alive!" The man shouted as the blonde was too stunned to move.
I was surrounded in a hallway, I had caused too much commotion by attacking that guy. "Shit!" I looked around for an escape route then realised, I could take them on! With my keys! "Open! Gate of the twins! Gemini!" A bright light surrounded me and the guards stepped back as two small blue spirits appeared in the air. "Piri! Piri!" I grinned. "Gemini! Do your thing!" The two spirits transformed into me and held a whip in their hands. "Piri! Piri!" They cleared a path for me and I continued to run down the hallway as Gemini disappeared. I ran into another person and was knocked backwards onto my butt.
"Owwww!" I jumped up and looked down at the guy who also fell on his butt, he had unusual pink hair. "Sorry! Gotta go!" I sprinted past him as guards ran round the corner and again, surrounded me. The pink-haired guy looked confused for a moment but I couldn't dwell on that. "Open! Gate of the maiden! Virgo!" Another bright light appeared and a pink-haired maid appeared, "How may I help you princess?" She cocked her head to the side. "Get me outta here!" Virgo picked me up, bridal style. "With pleasure, princess." She grabbed her drill and drilled through the floor, pulling me down with her.
I saluted to the guards to be cocky and they all glared at me and jumped down after me, the pink-haired dude leading them. "She's a magic-user! Follow her!"
I grinned and ran through the doors next to me, they lead to the courtyard. "Open! Gate of the lamb! Aries!" A poof happened, unlike the others, and another pink-haired girl appeared with ram horns and a fluffy white dress. "I'm sorry!" I smiled at her. "Can you please distract these men for me while Virgo and I find a way out?" She blushed and nodded. "Yes! and I'm sorry!"
A huge pink cloud of wool engulfed the guards except for the pink-haired guy who jumped out of the way. "Who the hell are you! And why are these guys chasing you?!" I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Why did you follow me if you don't know why you were doing it." I sighed and he eyed me and gave me a look.
"Name's Lucy Heartfilia! Get it now? See ya Pinkie!" A look of realisation crossed his face as I jumped into the hole Virgo had dug and I laughed at his expression and Virgo and Aries met me outside of the castle. "Princess, I didn't do my job properly, I should have took you further away. Please punish me." I sighed as Virgo placed some rocks on her lap and sat there. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "I'm sorry! I couldn't help much!" I sighed again. "It's fine! You both did a good job. Close the gate!" Virgo and Aries disappeared with a poof and I sighed and began to walk back through town.
I started to (AGAIN) walk on the edge of the path near the river and (AGAIN) People on the boats shouted out to me that I would fall in if I wasn't careful. I laughed and I was on the lookout for cats this time. I finally came to my apartment, went inside and locked the door. I wasn't taking any chances in case those royal people found me, I mean, who wouldn't try to find me when I obviously kicked someone important in the stomach.
"God Damn It!" I started to whine. "Now I can't stay here! And I was really looking forward to it!" I sat on bed and sulked for about half an hour until I finally realised that I'm slowly killing myself. I had to eat food soon. I quickly left my home and went to the closest grocery store. Until I realised that it was occupied with the guards who were chasing me earlier so I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation for a while.
"Are you sure you haven't seen a woman of this description?" I grinned as I listened to their conversation. "No, sorry sirs unless she is new. She might be the one who just moved in on Strawberry Street." I frowned. How did they know me?! I quickly used my magic to change the colour of my hair and clothes.
Waltzing into the shop I couldn't supress a grin as I walked past the guards who eyed me as I looked around the shop. Hmm, maybe I could get them off my case if I do this. "Um, excuse me, but I just moved in on Strawberry Street and I seem to be lost. Could you point me in the right direction?" I smiled sweetly and the person behind the counter smiled and pointed me back to my house. "Thank you so very much!" I smiled again and walked out of the shop, changing my appearance back as I walked down the street.
"Well that should get them off my case." I grinned and skipped down the street with my keys jingling on my belt.
Natsu
"Hey did you see those keys on her belt?" The guards in the shop looked at me as I watched the girl leave the shop, like she owned the place. "That might be her, the girl we're looking for." The guards looked at each other and nodded as they followed me out of the shop. Stopping when they saw the girl change her appearance as she skipped down the street.
"Lets go. Follow her, but don't chase her. I want to see where she lives so we can actually capture her this time." The guards followed me down the street as we watched the girl walk down the road and turn into Strawberry Street. She was on the edge of the path with her arms out by her side, balancing near the edge of the river.
Men on the river called out to her that she would fall in again but she laughed and picked up her pace along the river. Her smile was warm and it made me wonder why she had a bounty on her head. She jumped off the edge and walked up to the door of her home. She grinned as she opened the door and picked up one of her silver keys. "Open! Gate of the canis minor! Nikora!" My guards readied their swords but stared at what was by her side.
"What is that?" I heard them all whispering but I watched as she giggled at it and the small, snowman-like creature jumped up an she picked him up. "Come on Plue!" She walked inside and I left the alleyway we were hiding in and left my guards who were bickering over what the creature was. I walked up to her front door and knocked, hoping she would open the door.
The door opened but as soon as she saw me she attempted to shut the door in my face but I put my foot in the way. "LEAVE ME ALONE! I REFUSE TO GO BACK!" She started screaming at me as I walked into her house and the snowman thing leaped up in front of her and grabbed my ankle.
She fumbled with her keys but I grabbed them out of her hands, causing the snowman to disappear with a poof. "Give me them back!" She reached out and tried to grab them but I held them high in the air making her eyes grow wide. "Leave them alone!" She started to shout at me which made me confused. "Let my friends go!"
I sighed and put them in my pocket and grabbed her and flung her over my shoulder, she kicked and bit me and punched me so I made sure to 'accidentally' bang her against the wall when we left. "Prince Natsu!" My guards ran towards me and the ink-haired one scolded me for doing the mission alone.
"Natsu! What if she used one of those keys on you?!" The ink-haired one started to give me a lecture so I tuned them out and walked past them up to the gates to the palace. She was still kicking and shouting when we entered the front doors of the palace, making the servants who were running around, cleaning the place pause to stare as she kicked me in the back several times. I made sure to bang her against almost every corner we turned down, trying to shut her up as she screamed at me and grabbed my hair, pulling it.
"OW!" I shouted and she paused and started to tug on it with all her might, making me drop her again. She stood her ground and lunged at me, obviously trying to get her keys back. "Give them back!" She started to shout again and made a commotion. My guards finally caught up to me and found me fighting the girl who kept lunging at me and clawing at me.
Gray paused and took in the scene before him before running forwards and grabbing the girl by the waist. She stomped on his foot and he winced in pain. She grabbed his hair and pulled, at the same time punching him over and over again. The other guards ran forwards and grabbed her by the arms, making her helpless.
"Give me them back! Aquarius will kill me when she finds out you took her key!" She started to rant on and on at me until I sighed and walked away, the guards tugging her along with me. She decided to go limp to make it harder for them to pull her along, so they dragged her along the floor. Gray looked pissed and threw her over his shoulder, making her yelp in surprise and then she started to attack him again. Making him sigh and me supress a laugh.
We entered the great hall, where my brothers were having a meeting. They were interrupted by her screaming and her attacking Gray. All of them looked shocked as she squirmed and grabbed Gray by the hair and pulled again. Gray dropped her and she lunged at me again. I stepped out f the way but she tripped me up.
Everyone in the room watched in awe as she clawed at me, trying to get her keys back. "GIVE THEM BACK!" She screamed even louder and my brother, Sting, got up and grabbed her, putting her arms behind her back so she couldn't move. She head butted him in the chin and stepped on his foot making him jump backwards. The guards ran forwards and grabbed her by the arms and head as she struggled.
She finally sighed in defeat and stood there, in front of everyone in the room, some stared at her in amusement and the others in shock. Gray helped me up and Sting rubbed his jaw. "Can I have my keys back now?!" She demanded as I grinned and jingled them in my hands. "You mean these?" Her look hardened and she glared at me, making me cringe. "How would you like it if I took your family prisoner and wouldn't give you them back?" These words caught me by surprise and I looked at the keys.
My brothers and sister who were sat at the table stood up and Gajeel grinned while Wendy looked worried. "Where'd you get her, Salamander? Gihi." I sighed and gave him a look but he didn't look fazed. "Natsu-nii you need to be more careful with a lady!" Wendy was about to give me a lecture but my brothers hushed her. "She's obviously different than a normal lady Wendy." Wendy pouted and sat back down in her chair, her cat, Carla, jumping up on her lap and she started to pet her.
"Is this Lucy Heartfilia then Natsu?" I grinned and laughed proudly, "Yup! And I caught her before you!" His brothers sighed and pinched the bridges of their noses. "I'M NOT A COMPETITION!" She shouted and my brothers and I laughed. "You are though, we made it a competition to find you first." She pouted and tried to stamp on the guard's foot. He moved his foot in time and she sighed again.
"What do we do with her?" Rouge was stood in the shadows again and scared me when he spoke. "Jesus Christ Rouge! What the hell! At least announce yourself before you speak!"
"Morons.." She stood there and a tear formed in her eye. "Why can't you just give them back?" The tear fell and my eyes widened.
The tear hit the floor.
