Stay With Me

Chapter 13

Nashi's POV

I watched my mom as she was packing some of my things. "Where are we going?" I asked.

She started breathing heavily as she shook her head. "Away. There's just somewhere we need to go for help." She said as she packed my things very aggressively.

"Mommy, you're scaring me..." I said. She really was. Considering she was freaking out so much, I knew we were in some sort of trouble.

Mommy then sighed and turned to me. "Everythings going to be okay, okay?" She said, staring at me intensely and then quickly went back to packing. "We're also going to have to pack light so this should be enough." She said and handed me my small pink suitcase. "C'mon, let's go." She said and we walked, more like jogged, outside.

I must have been going too slow for her liking because she picked me up and ran to where the horse was. She hopped on with me in her arms and held on to me as the demanded the horse to go. And before I knew it, we were going to god knows where.

Normal POV

Lucy and Nashi must have been riding for hours 'cause Lucy was getting tired and so was Nashi. But, they got a wake up call when arrows started shooting.

"Shit shit shit! They found us!" Lucy whisper yelled. Suddenly, Lucy's side was deeply cut into by an arrow and some of Lucy's blood splattered on Nashi's left side. "AHH!" The hit hurt Lucy so much that they both went toppling off the horse. The horse kept running as Lucy and Nashi lay injured on the ground.

Lucy got up and picked up Nashi and started to run in the opposite direction of the arrows, leaving all of the luggage behind. She took a sharp turn and hid them behind a large bush.

"Listen to me Nashi." Lucy said as she held onto Nashi's shoulders. "There's a guild straight ahead from here, I want you to run that way," She continued as she pointed into the direction she wanted Nashi to run, "And get help. While you run, I'll hold them off okay?" Lucy finished as she stared deeply into Nashi's eyes. Nashi made a quick nod. "Okay. Now go! Hurry!" Nashi ran as Lucy emerged from the bush and showed herself to the enemies. "What do you want?!" She yelled, but got no response. Then more arrows started flying and Lucy quickly dodged them.

Lucy pulled out her whip, ready to fight. It looks like a battle has just begun.

Nashi's POV

I ran and ran until I tripped over a rock and went tumbling down a small hill. I winced and cringed as I fell through thorn bushes and got scratched by sharp rocks and twigs. "Ow." I whined as tears collected in the corner of my eyes. I quickly shook it off and tried to run some more.

I ran, feeling extremely weak before I encountered a town. I sighed in relief as I gazed upon the buildings. I ran through the streets as I earned confused or shocked looks from the people that passed by. I didn't care though. All I cared about was getting help for mom.

Finally, I came across a large and impressive building, and across the top said, Fairy Tail. I must have made it!

I ran up and slammed opened the doors. The guild went completely silent as looked in my direction and silence was soon transfered to gasps and worried looks for me. I was covered in scrapes and bruises and... Blood. My moms blood too. I could barely see through my right eye and I caressed my left arm, for it hurt a lot.

Suddenly, a woman with red hair and armor kneeled down in front of me. A look of worry was shown in her eyes. "Are you okay kiddo?!" She asked me in concern.

I wanted to sound calm and collected when I answered her, but only stutters came out. "Y-you have t-to help her! S-she's in danger!" I yelled.

"Slow down. Who needs help?" She asked.

"Y-you have to h-help her! Now!" I yelled, hoping theyw would stop asking questions and just come with me. "Hurry!" I yelled and ran.

I was probably three minutes ahead of them, but I knew they were following me. I could just sense it.

Lucy's POV

I dodged yet another arrow as I fought the shadowy man in front of me. I cracked my whip and made him fall back in a stong gust of wind.

Then, I heard, "MOMMY!" Nashi? I looked behind me and it was, for sure, Nashi. "I did it! I did it mommy! I got help!" She yelled as she ran towards me.

"Nashi! No!" I yelled, trying to stop her from coming any further, but it was too late. Nashi was captured by one of the many men. "No- AH!" I tried to yell, but was cut off by an arrow going into my side. It stuck out of me, but I ignored the pain I received because, right now, aaving my daughter was more important.

"I knew there was something missing." Tne man said, and recognized it instantly. Guess who? Mystery Man.

"LET HER GO!" I yelled desperately.

The man chuckled, "No. I actually think we'll be holding onto her her for a little while longer." And she was soon engulfed in a bright blue portal.

"NO!" I screamed as I reached out for Nashi. Our finger tips touched, but she was gone before I could grab her. Tears filled my eyes after I saw disappear in front of me. And I could do nothing about it. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, burning my throat.

The man huffed, "Yeesh. You don't heve to scream. She's fine. I just transported her to a more... Suitable... Holding ? place." He said, and disappeared. Just like he's good at.

I sobbed as I held my side and backed up against a tree. I examined the arrow that penetrated my side. I covered the tip of my finger with tje blood that surrounded the arrow and licked it. I quickly spit it out and banged my head against the tree behind me. Poison. But not any poison. This poison wan non curable. I was to be dead in less than a week now...

I began to black out, but before I was completely engulfed in the darkness, I heard a voice I thought I'd never hear again. Natsu.

"LUCY!"

Natsu's POV

I yelled Lucy's name as I ran up to jer sleeping body. There had been an arrow clear through her front and out her back a little ways.

"Oh my god." I heard Gray say.

"Where's the girl?" Erza questioned.

"I don't know. But we have to get Lucy back to the guild ASAP!" I said as I picked up her limp body. After tne little girl had ran off, Erza demanded me and Gray come with her to go help out. We should have brought Wendy.

Later, when we got to the guild, we entered and people started surroundimg us. "Wendy! Lucy needs medical attention!" I yelled as I ran over to the infirmary.

"Okay!" She yelled as she followed. Luckily, she didn't ask any questions quite yet and got right to work. "Call Porlyusika!" She yelled and shut the door. Porlyusika was called and I patiently waited.

She's finally home. I just hope she'll be okay...
