Forever Fiore

POV: Nuella

Where am I?

I clutch my head in pain as I try to remember what had happened.

"So the little lady is awake."

I replied to the voice with a groan.

"Boy, is she a grumpy girl."

"Shhh."

Shouldn't I be the 'little lady' who cowers in fear instead of being a total jerk and shushing my kidnapper? Nah, I don't think so.

But he sure is a stupid kidnapper not to tie my hands up. All they did was blindfold me and chain my foot. Tsk tsk. Why would he blindfold me if he already knew my hands were free? Baka. I'll just play around with them and be my goody-two-shoes self.

"W-Where am I?"

Even I was startled at how innocent my sickly sweet fake voice was.

"Oh honey bunch, just wait and see."

A hand gently stroked my cheek, and I moved back in surprise and disgust.

"Get your filthy hands off me, you-- you son of Hades!"

"Aw, is my little lady afraid to cuss?"

I rolled my eyes, but with the blindfold he obviously didn't see. Well, since my little innocent act had already started, I suppose I have to finish it.

"Where's my Joshie?"

"What the f*ck is a Joshie?"

"My boyfriend!"

The guy simply sighed but I could already feel his smirk stabbing at me, although I couldn't actually see anything. Hm... What should I be doing? Ah yeah, taking off this stupid blindfold. They really are just idiots.

The man in front of me was sitting on a chair facing me, but he didn't seem to notice me taking my blindfold off, as he was staring blankly at the wall on top of my head.

"I didn't actually expect people to look like monkeys in Earthland."

He looked straight at me and his eyes widened, him standing up quickly.

"Seriously, this is pure sexism! Just because I'm a woman, men go all I pity you and even forget to chain my hands!"

Okay, so maybe I over reacted a teeny bit.

"What are you even talking about?"

"I said, Ice God's Bellow!"

At that I knew I was already done with the man, seeing him unconscious on the floor. They really are underestimating me, you know? Freezing the chain and breaking it, I walked outside. This place, where am I?

The window showcased a long line of Sakura trees around the building, patches of greenery underneath them. Beyond that wonderful sight, though, was the complete opposite of it. It was a big dump.

The soil was dry. The floor, littered. Remains of a few plants were scattered all over the cracking floorboard-- I meant, soilboard.

POV: Natsu

What the hell is up with me being so stupid all the time?

Well, Natsu, it's a good thing you've realized it by now. You just had to close the door, Baka!

Let me see you make up your own strategy, you bossy little--

You do realize you're arguing with yourself right?
