THE BET | NALU

Chapter 9

Huh?" the girl said as her knees hit the floor of the alleyway. Not hard enough to make her bleed, but enough to bruise her. She winced a little in pain.

"Stand up." someone in front of her ordered. She looked up to see a few burly men and women. Two men, two women, all with tattoos and all the same amount of scary. The girl did as told, her eyes full of freight, the blackhaired woman noticed though and laughed before kicking her back down. Again, it wasn't hard enough to make her bleed but it did hurt as heck.

"Now now Raven, don't be so cruel." one of the men stepped in front of the one he called Raven and placed a hand on her. "She's obviously new to these parts of town and doesn't know that she has to pay the toll."

The girl stepped backwards a bit, the smirk on his face scaring her. People...there really were people like this in the world? Not just in books?

"She's not paying you anything."

"Hm, they should be around here somewhere.." Natsu mumbled looking around the mall, he was near the food court but beside the video, where he and his 'crew' would usually hang out. To be honest, he thought it would take some more convincing to get Lucy to come to the mall, but it didn't. Which was extremely strange. He glanced over at Lucy who was beside him, she was wearing a blue, sleeveless, collared crop top, a blue short skirt, and blue high heeled boots. Her eyes though, they kept looking down at her feet, and she they were still a bit puffy and red from crying before.

Natsu gritted his teeth at the memory of seeing her cry. Sting...he was using his wealth and power over her. To touch her. To take advantage of her.

Bastard.. Natsu thought, and if you looked at him, you easily see that he was angry. But he wasn't even trying to hide it. Only when Lucy would look at him he would try to hide it, so he wouldn't worry her.

Damn it, why do I care if I worry her? I'm only mad at Sting because he's being abusive to a girl. Yeah that's it. I hate it when people are abusive...that's all.

"Geez Natsu, what got your panties in a twist?" Natsu heard a familiar voice say from the side. Natsu looked over to see my friends, plus one. There were two girls, and two guys. The two girls (who Natsu did not screw because he grew up with them it would be like banging your sisters..) looked a bit identical with their silver, with a hint of pink, hair. Well, they are sisters, Natsu figured they would look identical.

Beside them was a giant man, with one a scar around his left eye and big white hair. To his left, was the plus one. The plus one that Natsu did not need to see again.
