~~~~~

My eyes spot the door that I was carried out of two years ago.
"Mel! This way!" I exclaim and take off to the door.
"Lucy wait!" Mel says, trying to grab my arm but misses. I run straight into an invisible wall. Mel makes her way towards me. "I warned you."
"Shut up." I say as I step back and rub my nose. Melody blows out.
"Come on, let's find Lucas and get the hell outta here." Melody says. We spot another door and head through it.

We have to climb up a large, spiral staircase. This leads to a balcony that overlooks the main room.
"I smell thy mate is this way!" Melody says, leaning forward and walking quickly away from me.
"Hey! Wait up!" I call after her as I run to catch up.
"Thy mate is in here, thy nose knows!" Melody says before kicking down a door. The room is plain with nothing in it but hanging chains. No Lucas. "Thy nose lies." Mel says before hitting her nose. We enter the room and a feeling of regret grabs hold of my stomach.

The door slams shut as if it's got a mind of its own and an evil cackle surrounds the room.
"I've had enough of this place." Mel says while sweat dropping. I move closer to Mel as my eyes dart around the room. A hole opens up in the ceiling and a woman with long, red hair descends, somehow using her hair to climb down. She's wearing a long red dress that exposes a lot of her cleavage and her eyes remind me of a psychopath.
"Who are you?" I ask when the hole closes up.
"My name is Flare." She responds and my eyes widen.

Flashback

My phone buzzes. I look at it in excitement. Ooh! It's from Natsu!

Who is this? - Natsu's phone.

Huh? That's odd....oh god! Please don't be something cheesy!

What do you mean Natsu? It's me, Lucy! - Lucy
I know that, but WHO. ARE. YOU? - Natsu's phone

Wow, he's gotten really stupid over these past few months.

I shall give you a detailed explanation. Maybe that will help your brain. My name is Lucy Heartfilia, your childhood best friend. I have blond hair, brown eyes, a sister called Michelle and a dog called Plue. They moved in with my aunt after my parents were killed, remember? - Lucy
No, not really. - Natsu's phone

I'm going to beat some sense into him next time I see him.

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE NATSU! I AM YOUR FUCKING GIRLFRIEND! - Lucy
But I'm his girlfriend....or I plan to be anyway... - Natsu's phone.
And who the fuck you be? - Lucy
My name is Flare, and Natsu doesn't need you anymore. He's got new friends now, and soon I'll be his girlfriend and we'll be together forever - Flare on Natsu's phone.
Keep talking love, if that fantasy helps you sleep at night then I won't argue with you - Lucy
Say what you will, but we've kissed and even shared a bed - Flare

I block Natsu's phone number, throw my phone at the wall and fall onto my pillow, allowing the tears to fall. Why was I so stupid? He's a playboy and always will be? I can't change that...and I never will...

End of flashback

I pinch Mel's arm to get her attention.
"Ouch! Do ya mind!?" Mel exclaims.
"T-That's the g-girl." I say. Mel's pupils seem to shrink as she turns her attention to Flare.
"Someone bout to die." Mel says, cocking her head to the side.

"You can't defeat me! I'm the hair wizard!" Flare says and her hair shoots towards us. Mel instantly has her claws extended and cut Flare's hair before it came into contact with me, but it had wrapped around Mel's wrist. Flare starts laughing evilly. I try to untangle the hair but Mel places a hand on mine, locks eyes with mine and smiles. Why isn't she cutting it!? The hair around Mel's wrist tightens and she winces. Flare's hair grows again and shoots towards me. Once again, Mel cuts it. I start running towards Flare, but Mel grabs my arm and throws me back. Flare looks at her in confusion. As Mel glares at her I swear her eyes could be lit on fire if it was possible. "Now why won't you let your friend help? You're going to need her if you're going to defeat me."
"I won't allow you to hurt her!" Mel exclaims. "I couldn't protect her before and I regret it like hell. But I won't let anymore harm come to her. She gave me the confidence to continue on. I WON'T LET YOU TOUCH HER!" Flare's hair is suddenly set on fire, along with Mel's wrist. "I don't care how badly you hurt me. You can beat me, stab me, take everything I care about away from me, but you so much as hurt the air around a strand of her hair, trust me, I will kill you." Flare falls to the floor, writhing in pain and screaming. Fear takes hold of me but I force myself to watch.
"H-HOW!? HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS!?" Flare screams/asks.
"I'm an elemental wizard, but I guess all that hair on your head made you forget how to use your brain." Mel says. "If you'd had even half a cell, you would've thought to get a measure of my strength before angering me." Flare's eyes widen. "Usually, I'd be lenient and let you go." Mel pauses for dramatic effect. "But you hurt Lucy and caused her so much pain. Pain I wish I could take away from her. So now...." Mel starts glowing. "Let's test out this new ability I've gained, shall we?"

~~~~~

Natsu: I'm coming
Lucy: hurry up!
Natsu: give me time, geez!
Mira: Mel's gonna beat you to it.
Me: then what will people think of you?
Natsu: DON'T PRESSURE ME!
Me: anyway, everyone say bye!
Everyone: byieeeee!
