My mute Mate

I'm coming

Lucy's P.O.V

Everywhere we went in here looked almost exactly the same and with his nonstop talking and my throbbing headache it made it hard to get my bearings on where exactly I was. Zatori did not stop talking. Asking me question after question. Even though I never answered him he never stopped talking.

"You know, I think you're really going to like our bedroom the best. Would you like to see it? I'm sure you'd love to see where I'm going to officially make you mine." His voice almost sounded sweet. Like it was dripping with honey.

The thought of a bedroom almost made my heart soar. The thought of laying in a bed made me want to relax, but knowing what his intentions for it were made my stomach turn. I simply shook my head at him, finally giving him a nonverbal answer.

"That's ok. You'll see it soon enough. I think we'll go see the garden next. Would you like that?" I sighed. He just wasn't going to stop until I showed some type of interest in him. He must've taken my sigh as a yes because he stopped moving this contraption and stepped in front of me. Crouching slightly. I watched as his hands reached towards mine. I jerked mine back so he wouldn't touch me, but he was too fast as he gripped my right wrist tight and latched it to the seat with leather. "There. Now I know you won't try to run and we can really enjoy ourselves outside." I rolled my eyes as he latched my other wrist to the arm.

He then proceeded to get up and continued to push the chair towards the door. When the doors opened I had to squint my eyes from how bright the sun was. Outside were ruins of an old castle. I could see various monsters off in the distance. Almost as if they were guarding the castle. The shrubbery around was green and full of life. Flowers blooming towards the ground and many trees standing tall as if they had stood watch over the ground for thousands of years.

"Do you like it? There's no way someone is going to come up here and disturb us. The monsters will keep them at bay and even if they made it past them I would protect you until my last dying breath." I cringed at the thought. He wasn't the one I wanted to protect me.

I frowned at the thought. Even though Natsu had ignored me to catch up with Lisanna my heart still yearned to be with him. He was the person I wanted to stand next to. To go on adventures with. To get in trouble with. My heart belonged to him. Just where are you Natsu?

Natsu's P.O.V

A vast forest stood in front of us, but I was sure that I could smell Luce's scent coming from this direction. I could tell it was a couple days old, but it was still the smell I loved the most and I could follow it anywhere.

"Are you sure we're heading the right direction flame-brain? We've found nothing, but monsters this direction." Grays annoying voice asked me.

I growled slightly. How dare he question us. I know our mate is this way. Tell him to shut up. The voice in my head had not stopped talking or growling since we found Luce gone. It was hard to focus constantly with it roaring in my head. "I'm sure popsicle. Luce is definitely this way. Nothing gets past my nose." I wanted to yell and scream at him that I knew what I was doing, but I didn't want to waste any time with arguing. Luce was waiting for me. I could just feel it.

Behind me Gray, Erza, Wendy and the exceeds trudged up the mountain. Up in the distance I could see the outline of some type of ruins, but what kind I couldn't really tell.

The closer we got to them the more monsters we seemed to encounter. At first it had just been small frys that had only taken us a few seconds to knock out of our way, but the closer we got the bigger and tougher the monsters got. To be honest it was starting to become a pain.

'Don't worry Luce. I'll be there real soon. I'll save you and we'll go on adventures again.' I thought to myself.
