Of Fire and Ice

C.21

I woke up the next day and they still weren't in the suite. I was freaking out a little, but decided to take advantage of the alone time.

Basically that meant taking time to choose my outfit and do my makeup. I stepped out of the room and checked around the suite, sometimes calling our their names.

"Ari, Grey? Lucy? Natsu? Erza? Happy?" I called, my voice a little shaky. I made sure I had the key to the room before stepping out to look for them.

I walked all around, looking everywhere, and I couldn't find them. So I went to the reception desk. "Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?" A lady asked.

"Have you seen a shirtless guy with black hair, a strong redhead girl, a cute blonde, guy with pink hair who has a flying blue cat and a dragon?" I asked and she just have me a very weird look.

"Miss, drugs are not allowed in the hotel." She said slowly. "I'm not on drugs, I'm serious! My friends have been missing since last night, I can't find them anywhere, and I'm just a little on edge." I growled at her, making her back up in fear.

"No I haven't seen anyone like that." She said and I stormed away.

"Is my beloved in trouble?" A soft voice said and I saw Juvia in the corner. I walked over to her.

"Okay, Juvia, listen up. He's not your beloved. He had a girlfriend, who happens to be me. I'm going to warn you right now that I'm the jealous type, and I have quite a fiery temper." I hissed. "I just wanted to help you find them. It's obvious they were taken." She said and I sighed. "Yeah, I was hoping that wasn't the case."

"We should check your suite to see if we can get anything that might point us to where they've taken him." She said, so I leaf her back up to the suite. There was a note on the door that wasn't there before.

"If you want your friends back, come to the castle on the hill and surrender yourself." Juvia read. "Okay seems legit. Let's go." I said and walked out, looking for a castle. Soon found the goddamn thing, so I marched to it with Juvia behind me.

Now I was pissed. I blasted the doors open and stormed in, flames raging behind me like the train of a dress. "Okay! I'm here! Who do I have to kill to get my friends back?!" I called out.

"Henley?!" I heard Natsu say. "Natsu? Where the fuck are you?" I called. "Basement... Dungeon... Thing." He called back. "Okay..." I hummed, blasting a hole in the floor and dropping, finding myself in a cold, dark dungeon thing.

"Hey! I was wondering when you'd get here." Natsu said with a grin, chained up on the wall with Happy and Ari beside him. "Oh they did NOT chain my dragon up." I growled and worked on hers first. She was soon free and did Happy's while I undid Natsu. Across the room, Juvia undid Lucy and Erza.

"Where's Grey?" I asked. "Oh, they kept him in another room." Lucy said, and I ran off, calling for him.

Soon I came across a room where Grey was chained against the wall too. "Grey!" I sighed in relief and ran over, hugging him tight around his neck.

"Henley." He sighed, putting his head against my shoulder. "Hey, look at me." He said and I pulled back a little, only for him to join our lips together in a heated kiss.

Though I wanted to get him free, I was distracted. While we were kissing, he froze the chains and broke them, then tied his arms tightly around my waist to hold me closer.

"Oh, what do you expect. They're making out again." Natsu said and I stopped the kiss out of embarrassment. Grey didn't seem to care. He still held me very close.

"Is everyone okay? Did you see who brought you here? Do you know if they're here now?" I asked. "Yeah, they're upstairs." Natsu said.

I stormed upstairs to be greeted by a lot of people in black cloaks and one at the front with everything but his mouth covered.

"My my. Henley Targaryen. You look just like your mother."
