Dragons' Sacrifice

Chapter 11

~*~

A blonde girl sat on the couch which was inside her room. Playing with the cats who would often visit her if they spot her inside the room. She couldn't take her mind off the six dragons. Her heart would beat whenever she was with the six dragons non-stop. She hated it. She didn't like it. If her heart would rapidly beat for one dragon, then she would be glad. Even if that one dragon would reject her. 

Polyandry. . . I hate this! She mentally slapped herself. 

"What do you hate?" She turned her head to the voice. "I only heard a fragment of it." The burgundy-haired said. His hands behind his back.

"Cobra. . . what do you need?" Lucy asked. Getting up from the couch.

"Everyone's going out. Come on," Cobra commanded. 

"Going out?! Really?! Where?!" Lucy asked excitedly. Happy that she'll be able to get out of the castle.

"A walk around a village. Oh, and here's a change of clothing," Cobra handed Lucy a set of clothes. Lucy nodded, while Cobra left. Closing the door behind him. Lucy looked at the set of clothes. She undressed herself. Then put the given clothes on. 

Lots of victorian dresses. Yup. . just like back home. A white dress, reaching to her toes. It had a bodice with a white corset. Cute, white ruffles, at the collar, and the sleeves. The sleeves stopped at her forearms, while her collar stopped at her chest. Showing only a bit of her cleavage. And I'm bare feet again! I'm used to it. I'll be like my auntie Mavis. Lucy sighed. She straightened her hair, and into a half-moon. Tied by a white ribbon. 

"Oi, woman. Done?" Lucy heard Cobra knock. She ran to the door, waving goodbye to the three cats. Cobra's eyes widened. Heat creeping up to his cheeks. D-Damn. . . s-she looks quite cute. . . He thought. "Let's go. Everyone's waiting," Cobra said, covering his cheeks with the high collar of his black jacket. Lucy smiled. Almost making Cobra faint. 

"So, tell me! Where are we going?" Lucy inquired. Staring at the dragons. The ones by her side, and in front of her.

"To a village. How much longer are you going to act as a child?" Laxus clicked his tongue. Lucy pouted. 

Sheesh. . . I'm getting out of that eerie castle for the second time. . cut me some slack. Lucy thought. Looking out the window.

"We're here, my lords," The coach man announced. He opened the door and the dragons stepped out. Laxus lend a hand to Lucy. But, she declined it. Snapping her head to the other direction and making a "hmph!" sound. The other dragons snickered. Quite amused. Laxus simply growled. He hated to be the one being laughed at. 

"What village is this?" Lucy asked the pinkette standing in front of her. The dragons surrounded Lucy as if a shield.

"Gahisha," Natsu said. He frowned, whilst sniffing the air. "Careful, Luce. Stay with us at all times. This place is pretty dangerous." He said. Leading the way with Laxus. 

"T-Then why did we come here?" Lucy asked, obviously frightened.

"To show you how our realm really is. How the village is in here. How the peasants act," Cobra said.

"It's not nice to call them 'peasants'! They're people. . erm--monsters--erm-creatures, too! Same as you. Just less fortunate as you six," Lucy pointed an accusing finger at them. They clicked their tongues and proceeded their way. 

The seven walked through the village. The villagers looked at them. Lucy was frightened. It didn't look like a village. It looked like a ghost town. A town full of witches and where evil awaits. Lurking through the shadows. She gripped onto her dress. Biting the bottom of her lip.
