Chapter 61

NATSU'S POV

Once Erza and I made it down to the magic council we both looked at each other with such determination it could make anyone nervous.

"I'm going to kill him." I said.

"It's best that you keep a level head Natsu." Erza replied.

She's right. If I don't stay calm I won't be able to do anything.

We walked into the council and asked the woman sitting in a chair for assistance.

"Yes can I help you? " The woman asked.

"We request to see Jeremy Dixon. I believe he has recently been thrown into prison here." Erza informed the woman.

"Ah I see. Yes he is being held here,  but we can't allow anyone to see him for the time being."

"WHAT!?  Why not!  We need to see him now! This is important!" I yelled.

Erza glared at me,  obviously sending me a warning.

"I'm sorry sir but it's just not possible at the moment. Please come back in a few days time." The woman said.

"argh!" I complained as I stormed off.

This is bullshit!  I need to save Lucy now!!!!

I looked around at the huge building to see if there was another entrence. I couldn't see one anywhere.

"Natsu. What are you planning?" Erza asked,  coming up behind me.

"I'm going to save Lucy in matter what." I told her.
"Don't try to stop me."

"Why would I stop you. I agree with you Natsu. We need to save Lucy no matter what. So follow me."

I was surprised that Erza wasn't trying to stop me from breaking in. But when Master Makarov finds out he is going to kill us..

I followed Erza around the large building until we found an unoccupied door.
Erza walked over to the door and tried to open it but it was locked.
No surprise there.....

"hmm it seems that there is no way in......" Erza said. "unless......."

"Unless what!? " I asked impatiently.

"follow me."

Argh! There is no time for this!!!!
Erza better know what she is doing!!!

I followed Erza until we reached a small shop nearby.

"How is this going to help us? " I asked.

Erza ignored my question and walked over to a bunch of disguises.

She put on fake glasses with a fake nose and a bucket hat.
She walked over to a mirror and started doing poses.

"Ah yes,  this is perfect. They will never know it's me." She said.

"That's genius!!! " I said while putting on a matching set. Nobody could possibly recognise us.

(*authors note* they look extremely obvious....)

After we bought our disguises we quickly ran back to the magic council building.

We walked in casually and made out way to the desk.

"Let me do all the talking." Erza whispered.

"ahem." Erza grunted to get the lady's attention.

"Yes,  may I help y- wait,  you two look familiar....." She said.

"I have no idea what you are talking about miss..... I feel quite insulted." Erza said. Her acting was surprisingly good...(for once). " My name is miss Scar and this is Mr Dragne, we are lawyers who have been hired to take Mr Jeremy Dixon's case." Erza finished. 

aren't those names a bit obvious? Nah....they'd never realize.

"I-i see. I apologize. We didn't expect to see you until tomorrow. Thank you for coming please follow me." The woman said.

I knew we would do it!!!  There's no way anyone would recognize us!

We followed the lady through multiple locked doors and then finally into a room.

"This is where Jeremy is being held. Please take your time." The woman said as she closed the door and walked away.

"Heh. So, what brings you here?" A voice sarcastically asked from the dark corner of the room. 

Jeremy..!!!!

"DONT SCREW AROUND!!!!! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY!!!!" I screamed, fuming with anger and hatred.

Erza grabbed my arm and pulled me back to stop me from beating him up. "You have to stay calm Natsu." Erza said. "Otherwise we wont get anywhere."

Tsk! i clenched my fists so tightly they started to bleed. 

"Jeremy, first off i have one thing to say to you." Erza told him. She walked towards him slowly and calmly and looked him in the face........before she gave him a powerful right hook in the jaw. 

"Tsk, aren't you feisty.  That wasn't very nice of you Erza." Jeremy smirked.

"SILENCE!! I have no intention of being nice to a man like you.  Now tell me how to save lucy!!! it was you who put that charm on her did you not!?" Erza yelled.

"Hmpf, very clever. That's right. The charm must be fully activated by now. I must admit i wish it would have activated straight away when it was placed on her. But it doesn't matter either way because i wouldn't have been able to see Natsu's pained expression once Lucy threw him away, since he put me in prison." 

I flinched. i can't handle anymore of this. 

"Why is it you tell me to stay calm when you got to punch him?" I asked Erza while trying to contain my anger. 

"Natsu if i let you punch him do you really think you could contol yourself? And just look at what you have already done to him....."Erza gestured to the severely injured bastard. Shes right though... I need to calm down.....

i walked over towards Jeremy as calmly as possible and i noticed him flinch. i couldn't help but smirk.

"What's this? Don't tell me your afraid of me?" I said while looking down at him.

Jeremy frowned angrily. Then smiled. "Tell me Natsu, How is Lucy?" 

This time i coundn't stop myself. i kicked him across the face and made him fall to the ground spitting blood. 

"Tell me how to save her." I said.

Jeremy looked up at me and continued to smirk.

"TELL ME!" I screamed. 

"You'd do anything to save her?" He asked suspiciously.

"That goes without saying." 

"Interesting, So shall i tell you?" He mocked.

"Stop with these games!" Erza shouted.

"heh, alright." Jeremy sat up and looked me directly in the eye while continuing to smirk.

"The only way to save Lucy is for her to share an intimate kiss with the person who put the charm her, and she must be the one to initiate it."
