Fell In love with the Dragon. (NaLu FanFic)

Chapter 13: Complicated Love Bug

      "How are we supposed to repay 300,000 dollars!?" I panicked, semi-screeched/squealed/squirmed awkwardly, and definitely sweated buckets completely without poise. 300,000 dollars is a LOT of MONEY. I mean, I'm only a mere run-away princess, how am I supposed to know about this and that?

WAIT.

LUCY.

This is none of your business. You're being kidnapped. You're supposed to be relieved that your kidnapper is going to have a huge debt to pay, with that, you'll have more time to think about your master, better-than-Houdini-times-eleven-cause-eleven-is-a-nice-number escape-plan!! This is it, Lucy. This is what the chance you've been waiting for. A possibility to get far, far away from the person who made you brutally realize that happiness was possible even inside the mellow and bland walls of castle-like-prisons; getting a lucky break-away from the person who gave you powerful adrenaline-rushes and made you feel crazy butterflies every time you'd catch him showing his bewitchingly strong jaw-line, cheek-bones and pearly whites.

Wait, I want to get away from that?

    "Lucy?" Natsu had his rough yet securely gentle hand farther up my cheek, subtly checking if I was still breathing. "You okay?" He had his innocent eyes locked with mine, probably thinking about my current stature. But, well, current stature = sucks.

   "Uhhh, yeah" I said, sounding unsure. "I'm good. You can uhhh..." I nervously rolled my voice. "You can remove your... hand.... now."

Natsu quickly removed his hand from my now heating face. I swear, my face can be a better source of heat than fire-places sometimes. Lucy, don't ever doubt your promises again. You will break-free, you will get-away. Literally. Don't even think about staying with your kidnapper. Besides, he doesn't like you. He's as dense as rock. Look at him.

And at that moment, Natsu was picking his nose. Nah, just kidding he was just being himself, constantly making my will-power of leaving diminish. Heart, don't screw this up.

"You know what," I finally spoke with assurance. "This isn't my problem." I stated, confidence trying to find its way to cover my thoughts and doubts. "It's your problem, Natsu." I looked at him, fighting the urge to stop the drama the urge of smiling at that very cliché statement. But, man, if my "feelings" could instantly deflate without "drama" then sew me a banana with wings, I would darn well choose that path. But noooooo, this just had to go the hard and stressful way. Freakin'  girl hormones. Why can't you just die and rot in hell with raisins. Yeah, cause raisins are evil.

"So, I'm stress-free." I smiled at him, optimistically thinking about my happy thoughts and stopping my thoughts from wandering off. This is his problem. Period. End of conversation. The past. Done with. Ancient history. Over.

"Wait." He grabbed my wrists and had me facing him. His nut-brown puzzled eyes relentlessly studied my facial features. "What do you mean, 'Not my problem'?" He asked with a low, somehow sexy voice and his eyebrows knitting together. "Aren't we a team?"

           "No." I looked at him, as sternly as I could muster. I harshly pulled away from his touch. This is right. It's the way it should be. 

                "No, Natsu. I'm not partners with you," I paused. " and I never became your 'team mate'. Never will." I whispered, staring at him, my eyes reciting menace while his big brown ones enlarged. "Why do you care? All you ever thought of me was bait in order to get your money, right? The couple-thing was only a cover up. I covered up for you." My voice was becoming hoarse. It must be because the lies surprisingly just came out as easy as 1, 2, 3.

    I had to do this. I have to know my place, even if it would hurt. The fantasies I had was grimly false, a mere fairy tale made out of incompetent and weak components. It was wrong trying to imagine a future with my kidnapper with very dragon-like powers. It was impossible. An event so unlikely to happen. It's not like he ever liked me anyways.

As they say, the best way not to get your heart broken is to pretend you don't have one.

"What...." He breathed. "....Lucy...." He removed his everything from me. An arm away, a distance so short yet so far. Suddenly, I'm scared with what he was going to reply. 

"GUYS!" Happy emerged from the bushes. There are so many wrong things with this I could point out. Well, at least he went out after I've finished my very dramatic good bye speech. 

                 "HAPPY!" Gray yelled, excited with his sudden presence. "Where have you been?!" He yelled. "And...." We all looked at Happy, trying to guess whether or not he was swimming in the trash bin because he looked like a complete wreck. He was stinky and covered with a brown substance that was probably dirt (I HOPE). "What happened to you...?"

"It's a long story." He smiled. "But, hey, I brought someone with me!" He fangirled-- which was super freaky.

"Who?" Gray asked, as we all waited for Happy's answer.

Before Happy had even opened his mouth, the bush behind him shook. Oh gosh, how can 2 people fit in one bush without being recognized? 

A girl of our age stood up from the bushes, a white haired beautiful lady with a smile that could enslave every hormonal teenage boy under her power. Her eyes were overwhelmingly adorable, and everything about her screamed 'Hey dudes and dudettes, I'm naturally pretty and I'm not even trying'. 

    "Hey, Natsu..." She smiled, the best smile I've ever seen, beside's Natsu's. Wait, this possible model/goddess/fairy knows Natsu?

    "Lisanna...." Natsu said, in awe. It was like he had seen a ghost.

    Lisanna? Haven't I heard that name before?
