Chapter 42

Flashback continued
Lucy's POV:

The sound of pounding foot steps echo threw the halls of the dungeon as Yokino and I tried to make our escape.

I knew there was a secret exist coming in the deeper parts of the labyrinth of a dungeon. We running until it seemed the soldiers were right on top of us.

" keep going Yokino, I will lead them away from you." I told her as we came to a fork in the tunnel. With a single nod of her head she went right and I went left. Little did I know that was a big mistake. Soldiers were waiting for me when I made my next turn and I was thrown to the ground. Swords and magic guns pointed at me as the cuffed me and dragged me up starts to the throne room where my father was waiting to execute the traitors who ruined what in his mind was a huge weapon in his arsenal.

As I was thrown on the ground in front of the man the look of utter betrayal on his face was priceless. I was expecting and was welcoming the death that awaited me. The only reason he didn't kill me on the spot was because of the wedding. After he beat me and charmed the shackles that chained me he had his men lock me up in my room where I lay wishing for death.
End of flashback

Still Lucy's POV:

After I told Natsu what has happened I was in the verge of tears again, knowing my own father would be planing my death for after the wedding. Natsu wrapped his warm, loving arms around me. He whispers in my ear, " I promise you Lucy, I will get you out of here, you won't have to marry Dan, and you won't be killed."
