Fly- Happy x Charle (A Fairy Tail fanfiction)

The Ancient Building

Natsu P.O.V
I followed her gaze to find a towering building, half cloaked in ivy, it's walls so high I could barely see the top. It was made out of crumbling stone, completed with once elegant mahogany doors now ruined with scratches ruining the worn wood. Stained glass windows in every colour adorned the ancient walls. The place was clearly incredibly old, in some parts almost ruins, and inevitably dangerous. I was unable to move for a second, transfixed, and Happy, still fast asleep, seemed to slide out of my arms, awaking with an aggravated grunt on the mossy floor. Without knowing what I was doing, I stepped forwards, my hand reaching for the tarnished doorknob, when I felt a hand on my arm.

"Natsu, stop. We don't know what's in there!" a voice that was unmistakably Luce's said. I snapped out of my daze. "Oh uh, yeah, I guess you're right..." I trailed off. I looked over at Happy, who was also awestruck with the towering building. Suddenly he began to make a beeline for the door, the same way I had, his little wings flapping desperately. Luce plucked him out of the air with ease. "Now happy, I know you're upset, but we can't just go anywhere! This place looks really dangerous!" she scolded Happy. "B-but Lushee, Charle could be in there!" Happy protested. "W-we have to go and find her!" His eyes were wide with desperation. I took one look at him and knew we couldn't stop him. Luce sighed. "You guys, when will you ever learn to be sensible?" she said rolling her eyes. "Well I guess if we must search in this clearly lethal building we're gonna need some help" She rattled the doorknob. It didn't budge. "Open, gate of the Maiden. Virgo!" With a blinding flash, the cute little pinkette appeared. "Yes, princess?" she said, cocking her head. "If you wouldn't mind, Virgo, could you please burrow us into this building?" Luce replied. "Of course princess" Virgo obliged. She shot downwards, drilling into the damp earth, a tunnel forming in her wake. Luce indicated for us to follow her. We emerged on the other side into a dark, musty room, smelling of dampness. "Thank you Virgo. You may go now." Virgo disappeared  in another flash of light. "Natsu, could you please help us out here? We really need some light." I ignited my hand, the flames illuminating the room. Surrounding us were shelves, tons of them, stuffed with books of every kind, towering over us, reaching to the celing. A thick sheet of dust lay on top of every surface, and the air was strangely cold.  Families of spiders seemed to have spun webs everywhere. It appeared as if nobody had entered this room for years, decades easier. Happy clung close to me, his blue paws trembling. Luce, however was studying each cover, picking up book after book and examining it. Finally, she picked up a book that made her jaw drop. "W-what?" Happy whispered tentatively. Luce turned the book round to reveal the cover. On it was a white exceed in mid-flight, one that resembled Charle so much it was eerie. My eyes found the title, written in elaborate gold lettering.
