Kill Me, Kiss Me (StiCy/StiLu)

Chapter 4

Lucy curled herself up on the raggy, thin blanket that was suppose to be her bed. She hasn't been eating at all for the past 2 days, and she was starting to look thin and weak.

"Here." Saga slipped the food tray and a small white box slowly below the bars. Lucy forced herself to stand up, and walked wobbly towards the objects. She plopped herself down beside the box. "What is this?" She asked, opening the box. Inside the box was a red button. "Just in case you cannot handle the stress anymore. Press that, and you'll smile." Saga said, grinning. Lucy raised and eyebrow and laughed. She immediately coughed. "Drink first!" Saga said and Lucy obeyed. "Now you have to eat." Saga said. Lucy shook her head. "Later. We need to come up with an escape plan. You'll help me escape, won't you?" Lucy asked. Saga remained expressionless for a second, before smiling and nodding.

"So when the guard shifts at dawn, the new guard is usually sleepy. So I will attacked him from behind, and force him to open my door. Then I will knock him out and escape." Lucy said.

"And my job is to ensure that you will not encounter any guards, and help you retrieve your keys?" Saga said. Lucy nodded. "In case I got caught while escaping, please be ready with my keys. That way, I can escape on my own the second time." Lucy said. Saga nodded, looking unconvinced somehow. "What is it?" Lucy asked. "How are you gonna attack the guard?" Saga asked. "Aha, that's where this comes in." Lucy fumbled with her skirt for a bit before taking out a knife. A small knife actually, but a knife nevertheless.

"Where did you get that?" Saga asked, surprised. "Under my bed." Lucy said simply. "I explored every nook and cranny of this cell, and found a knife there. And I also found a hole in the corner. If both escape plans failed, I can just use this knife to escape. The stones over there are pretty old, so I can just give them a little force and some cuts, and they'll crumble like a cookie dipped too long in milk." Lucy said. "But yeah, that would take a long time, probably 2 days, and I can't wait that long. It's really obvious compared to the first 2 too."

Saga raised an eyebrow while his lips played a small smile, and shook his head, laughing. "You're really something else." He said.

"Hey Mira, don't you think it's enough?"

"Enough what?"

"Lucy's time. Let's get her."

"Oh right. But let me just finish this, and we can go."

Lucy curled up on her bed with her knife hidden well under her clothes. The dawn seemed so far away, and replaying her role over and over again in her head made it seemed dull, so she stopped thinking about it. She caressed the small box. She opened it and looked at the button intensely. Should she? She's getting out of this place soon anyway. And this thing will make her smile. Worth it. She pressed it. Suddenly the bars of her cells rattled and a deep, rough voice spoke.

"Hey, wake up!" She sat up and looked straight to the direction of the bars. A man she'd never seen before was crouching down in front of them. He smirked. Lucy got the shivers, but walked over anyway. "What? Who are you?" She asked. "Let's just say that my name is X." He said mysteriously. "Look at this." He took out a small Lacrima Crystal. But it didn't seemed like any other crystal. It seemed weird. It was circle in shape, and it was thin. The edges were smooth, and the front surface was covered in a jelly like substance.

"What's that?" Lucy asked suspiciously. "Watch." He said, ignoring her question. He did something, and suddenly a hologram screen appeared in front of her, startling her.

"You cannot escape you know~" He said, startling her again. Did he know about the plan? The video began playing. "Fairy Tail did come to save you. Unfortunately, they're no match for us~" He said, smiling like a psychopath. "What did you say?!" Lucy yelled.
