Trouble! A Nalu Fanfiction

Chapter 24 "Lights Out"

Lucy POV

I was being dragged down a hallway. I kept slipping in and out of consciousness. I was thrown roughly into a cell and my head hit the wall. Black spots clouded my vision for a minute before my eyes started to focus in on my surroundings. It was dark but I could see the outline of an chair and a table. Then, I heard whispering outside of the cell door and the door opened. I saw a man but because of the poor lighting I couldn't see his face. Another man followed and picked me up off of the ground. I struggled a little bit but I didn't have much energy do much damage. I was put into the chair I saw and tied down. There was a rope tying down my arms, legs, and my waist to the chair.

The lights were cut on and I was blinded by the bright light. When my eyes came into focus. I saw the 2 people who captured me. I saw his dark red eyes and then I saw his grin. My eyes trailed up to his black hair and then I saw the person beside him. He had blonde hair and had a matching sadistic grin. They looked quite familiar but then I remembered. Sting and Rogue. The twins. Sting spoke first.

"Rise and shine, Lucy!! You remember me, don't you?"

"....Sting.."

"Yep. Well, I bet your wondering why you're here. We need you to lure your boyfriend here because he cares for you and all that other crap."

"Why?"

"Simple. Its a battle of the fittest and I'm determined to win, right Rogue?

I looked at his brother and he nodded. A smile replaced his sadistic grin and he stood up.

"Welcome to Sabertooth. I hope you enjoy your stay while you're alive."

"What?"

"Oh, you thought we were going to give you cookies and a 5 star hotel. Haha no. Now let's get started and see how long it takes your precious friends to knock on our doors."

He took an object off of the table and looked at it longingly. Then walked over to me and dragged it along my leg and drawing blood.

"Lets play, shall we?"

And I screamed out in pain as he dug the knife deeper into my skin. I didn't feel angry at the fact that he was keeping me captive but at the fact that it was going to leave a scar. I hissed out my pain and he chuckled to himself.

"Actually, this is really fun." I spit in his face and glowered at him. He slowly wiped my spit off with the smile never leaving his face.

"I forgot that you were the type of girl that wouldn't take bullshit from anybody."

"Yeah, you are right. I won't. So, why are you willing to try?"

"Well, you are my precious friend." I shook my head at the words coming out of his mouth. He was calling me his friend even in this situation.

"And you think that I'm still willing to be your friend after you drugged me and cut me with your precious little knife?"

"Oh, I'm sorry about that but like I said before I will do anything to obtain my goal and don't you think Natsu would be even more determined when he sees that you're hurt. Then, he'll fall right into my trap."

He got closer to my face with every word. We were so close our noses were touching and I could feel his breath on my face. I leaned back to show I valued my personal space and he was in it.

"What's your big plan, buddy?" I spat out venomously.

"Why would I tell you? That's a rookie mistake." He walked back in front of the table and started playing with the knife again then turned back to me. He pressed it lightly against my cheek but it still drew blood.

"You know...I really liked you." I was a little surprised but deep down I knew it already.

"This is not how you treat someone you like."

"I said liked. As in past tense." Ouch. That hurt my ego.

"What made your feelings change?" I asked curiously. He sighed and moved the knife down to my thigh and pressed it down into my skin further than the first time. I shouted out curses and glared at him.

"You started dating my enemy."

"Are you serious? That's what made you change your feelings?! Wow, you really are shallow."

"Me? Shallow? What about you? You are so stuck up and your ego is so big that you can't get over the fact that someone didn't have a significant reason to not like you."

I kept my mouth shut because I knew he was kinda right. I had a bit of an ego but I wasn't stuck up.

"Natsu will come here and he will defeat every single one of you with his gang. There is a reason they are #1 gang in Fiore."

He gritted his teeth and grabbed a handful of my hair then yanked it forward. Hair pulling. That's a low blow even for a guy.

"I suggest you keep your mouth shut if you don't want an area on your head without hair."

"You do that and you wont see tomorrows daylight."

"What can you do? You're all tied up."

I chuckled darkly and stood up free from my binds. I untied my feet while he was still recovering from shock. I stretched and stood behind the chair then looked him straight in the eye.

"Either you still don't know me after all these years, you're very stupid, or you don't know how to tie a good knot."

It was probably all three. Then, I heard something explode downstairs and the walls shook with tremendous force. Then another explosion came from upstairs and gunshots followed. I smirked at his dumbfounded expression.

"It seems the chivalry has arrived. What's next?"

He kept his gaze on me.

"Rouge?"

Shit. I forgot he was here. He had slipped into the shadows somehow while Sting and I were talking. He stepped back into the light and his red eyes seem to be glowing with excitement.

"You can handle her, right?"

"Yeah."

"I'll be back to retrieve her in a second. Don't hurt her that much."

"Roger that."

And with that he left the room. Rouge looked at me like he was a cat getting ready to pounce.

"Let's play a game."

"Alright. What are the rules?"

"Well, it's called Lights Out. I'll turn out all the lights and if you can defeat me in the dark then you win but if I manage to knock you out then I win."

"I'm going to take a educated guess and say moving in the dark is your strong point."

"I'm glad you could point that out. Lets start."

Rouge reached for the light in the middle of the room and I got into a fighting stance. He gave me one last mischievous smile before we were consumed in darkness.
