Secrets and Mistakes

Chapter 2

"What time is it?" I angrily asked Ryan.

"Shut up, will ya? I'm trying to win, here." I mentally let out a sigh.

It feels like it's been years since I've been taken, but in reality, it's only been two hours or so. I know Cookie probably made it to the wizard guild and they've probably have already begun searching. Even so, if I can get to my keys I can call one of my spirits and then I wouldn't need any other wizards. I sighed. There was no way I was going to be able to get to my keys with the stupid poker buddies right there in front of my cell.

"Ryan? Otto? You should really look and see this......" One of the men on the ship said, trailing off as he stared off into a (what I'm assuming is) porthole. Ryan chuckled dryly.

"Otto, keep an eye on that girl," he said, pointing to me as he threw his cards down and stood from his chair.  "She's a real bugger. And don't look at my cards!" I sighed. When was help gonna come? It's been at least two hours, Cookie should've gotten the guild's attention and persuaded them to help.

"Holy Lands! What in the seven seas is that?!" Could he try and be more contradicting? Land, seas, make up your mind, idiot.

"What, what is it?" The Otto dude asked, standing from his chair as well. The table was so close, yet so far away. I peeked out through the bars of my cell. Once everyone was staring wide-eyed at the- actually, I don't know what it is, so whatever it is, I quickly tried to grab my keys that they left so carelessly on the table. The ship swayed. My whip, along with the cards and poker chips, fell off of the table and onto the floor. Unfortunately my keys stayed where they were. I retracted my arm, peering to see if they had noticed the commotion that was caused by the clanging. They apparently didn't, so I snatched my whip from the floor and took it in my grasp. This'll have to do.

"Everyone, on deck! There's a wizard coming!" All of the men at the porthole that seemed to be hypnotized by whatever was out there snapped to attention as another person disturbed them.

"Why everyone? One wizard, we should be able to handle." Otto said, punching his fist against the palm of his other hand. I bit my lip so I didn't say anything about how he looked like a kitten trying to eat a bear and just looked like an idiot and not threatening at all.

"It's a Fairy Tail wizard, Otto. Everyone on deck!" All of the men rushed to the deck of the ship we were on and I quickly went into action. I couldn't believe my luck. The room was empty, my whip fell off the table, and then the keys to open my cell were nearby. Unfurling my tool, I managed to wrap it around the legs of the table. Violently pulling it toward me, the table tipped over, throwing everything that hadn't been knocked off by the swaying off of its surface. I sighed in relief. I thought this was going to be hard!

Third Person Point of View

Natsu had been surprised to find out that there were more cats like Happy in the world. Ones that could walk on two legs, talk, and fly. So when the black and white cat showed up and started begging for someone to rescue his friend, Natsu knew he had to take the job. Besides, he wanted to find another Dragon Slayer like himself that could know where Igneel was. And apparently Master Makarov was thinking the exact same thing, as he ordered Natsu to answer the cat's plea.

So here he was.

Flying above the ship in the middle of the ocean, apparently looking for a girl that was indeed a wizard.

The cat had provided very little details, only stating hysterically that his friend Amber had been taken when trying to buy something at a shop. He had no clue why, but Natsu had a gut feeling that this had something to do with all the women that went missing this month. The cat also explained that his human companion was extra cautious, coming up with plans as a 'just in case'. Natsu had to hand it to the girl, she was indeed prepared for the worst.
