Trash: A Collection of Stories

Chapter 12

I stumbled out of the library, feeling like I was going to pass out.

"You aren't going to cause any trouble are you?" The words similar to masters ran through my head.

Images started flashing over my eyes. "You aren't going to cause any trouble are you?" The blue haired guy was standing directly in front of me, still no face. All I could make out was a red eye.

"Uhh.." I started sweating and shaking, scared at the thing.

"Lucy?" Gray walked out after me. I couldn't answer him.

His hands moved towards my mouth, and as I watched, my hands did the same. "No, please," I said desperately.

"This will only hurt a little.." He picked up a syringe. I began screaming, struggling at the force that held me from behind.

"Whoa!" Gray put his hands on my shoulders, trying to stop my thrashing.

"Hold still, brat," blue hair grunted, sticking the needle into my arm. I went limp and collapsed into Gray's arms. The images vanished, and I had tears streaming down my face.

"Someone.. Save me," I whispered.

"Master, it happened again!" Gray called out.

"Why is she freaking out again?!" Natsu came over. I still couldn't move, and I could just barely talk. Master was at the door way of the library in an instant.

"You aren't going to cause any trouble are you?" I whispered his words.

"What does that mean?" Master asked carefully. I stayed silent, staring at the ceiling.

"Gray, I think there is a possibility that I may pass out soon, please take me to the infirmary," I mumbled, becoming extremely sleepy. He lifted my limp body up and placed me in a bed.
'I really need to talk to someone about all of this. What did the man do to me?'

"Gray?" I asked, barely audible. He was the only one in the room. "Do you know someone with blue hair?"

"I know a few, why?"

"He has some kind of red eye of something." I heard him gasp and leave the room.

It was a few hours before I could move again. I didn't get any sleep, and the only person who would come in was Gray.

"You told master about what I said earlier," I was sitting up when he walked in.

"You can move, do you feel any pain?" He walked over moving to touch my arm. I slapped his hand away.

"You told him. Do you know who he is?"

"Master doesn't want me to talk about it."

"Gray, you need to tell me. If you know something I must know."

"I'm sorry. You should get some sleep-"

"Leo!" I pulled his key out.

"What's up, Lucy?"

"We are going for a walk. I need to get some energy out."

We jogged out of the guild and to the nearest forest. I ran deeper into the wood until I felt we were far enough away.

"Why are we out here?" Loke asked once we stopped.

"Something is wrong. Little pieces of my past keep falling into my lap. But the thing is, I've never remembered them until now. The person I've seen most now is a man with blue hair. He also has this red eye. Gray knows who I am talking about but he won't tell me. It's so frustrating," I gritted my teeth and punched a tree. The tree fell to the ground with a loud thump.

"I don't know who he is, but can you explain what you are seeing?"

"Yeah the first one-"

"So, you are Lucy Heartfilia," an unfamiliar voice came behind us.

"It's you," Loke gawked. I turned around and saw who it was.

"Who are you?" I looked him up and down. His face fell and he looked stunned.

"I'm Gildarts," he recovered a little.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I have never seen you and I've.. I'm sorry."

"It's ok, kid. You got some strength." He looked at the tree I knocked over.

"Thanks. You are really strong too."

"How do you know?"

"I've done some research."

He chuckled. "Mind escorting me back to the guild?"

"With pleasure."
