Part three-chapter three: this is me

It was about one in the morning, and I couldn't sleep. I had been tossing and turning for over an hour.

I got up from my mother's bed, exiting the maids quarters and leaving the castle. I walked slowly toward the direction of the apartment Lucy and I shared, all of my thoughts rushing into my head.

I soon was snapped out of my thoughts when someone's shoulder had bumped into mine, I turned to face the person, only to be met with a familiar pair of violet eyes.

"Oh, sorry about that- hey...don't I know you?"

"I-i don't think you do, anyway it's fine-"

"Come to think of it, you look like someone I'm looking for..."

The man grabbed my wrist, causing me to step back a bit.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"So it really is you... huh... you look good doll" he complimented, I gagged a bit, turning my head away from his face.

"Oh come on y/n...you should've known you couldn't hide from me, we're meant for each other, doll."

I pulled my wrist out of his grasp, noticing small letters written in black on it.

"What do you want with me Marcel? I don't have time-"

"Ah, ah, ah. Relax doll, I just need you to fulfill a promise you made to me a while back."

"Oh yeah? And what is that?"

Marcel grabbed both my wrists, a burning sensation erupting in both of them as he stared at me coldly. I attempted to pull away, to use my magic.

Nothing worked.

He grabbed both my wrists with one hand, the other lifting my chin to make eye contact.

"I want you, to be with me again...permanently"

"What? No! Why the fuck would I do that?"

"That wasn't a request. That was a command. You can struggle all you want, those are magic prevention and transfer engravings. You can't use magic. In summary, you are just as vulnerable and powerless as the day we met, doll."

I watched as chains erupted from his hands, he quickly entangled my body, watching as I fell to the ground. I scouted the area in an attempt to escape or call for help.

We were currently in the market place, no one would be here until morning.

I continued to struggle, attempting to wiggle out of the chains and yell. I watched as he sprouted another chain from his hand and used it to cover my mouth. My body began to shake and I could feel my eyes begin to tear up, on top of all that my body began to feel heavy and my eyes slowly became heavier.

"Once I'm done with you we'll see how much you sell for, I'd imagine an heir to the throne would have a hefty cost-"

My vision became blurred suddenly as all my strength began to disappear, however I could hear some sort of destruction. It was blurred, but I could still see flashes of orange and yellow. When the flashes had stopped I could faintly hear some yelling, followed by my body being raised up from the ground.

I was only carried for a few more minutes, my vision slowly began to clear up, and I was faced with a familiar pink haired male. His gaze was tense, fixated on me entirely. He opened a door and rested me down onto the sofa, his hand resting on mine.

"Natsu? What happened? Where's Marcel? What're you doing here?!"

"Hey, don't strain yourself. I couldn't sleep so I went out for a walk, I heard yelling and ran over an saw you all chained up. That guy had some type of thieving magic, he took your type of magic and gave it to himself, he said he was drainin your energy too while he did that."
