Deadly Sick

I have one thing to say before you start reading this.

I'm sorry..

"Oi Luce, wanna go on a job? Just the two of us!" Natsu yelled across the guild hall as he waved the job request in the air while jumping up and down. Lucy turned around, her face a little bit more pale than usual. She giggled and nodded her head.

"Alright!" He cheered with his fist in the air and grin on his face. He went to the bars' direction and soon enough, he was right next to his girlfriend.

"Tell me if you like this one." Natsu said and gave Lucy the paper. She read it and it was about fighting robbers in the village that was quite far away. Once again, she nodded her head and smiled at salomon-haired boy, earning a kiss on the cheek.

"Sign us up, Mira." Lucy said and gave the job request to the beutiful white-haired Take Over mage. Mira kindly smiled at the two and approved them to go.

~The train ride~

"Luce... can I?" Natsu asked the blonde, she had black bags under her eyes but, Natsu didn't pay much attention to it because of his motion sickness.

"You know you don't have to ask anymore, you can lay on my lap whenever you're feeling sick." Lucy explained and Natsu didn't want to waste anymore time, he just collapsed on her thighs. Her fingers running through his soft hair.

"Thanks.." He said and fell asleep. The truth is, Lucy didn't feel okay as well. She was lightheaded and tired. In the past week she has been feeling like this, a lot. Lucy didn't know the reason, all that occurred on her mind was that job she took alone, week and a half back.

She took a job that required her to fight a witch that was causing trouble in the woods near a well known city, Hargeon. Lucy managed to defeat the witch, but before she did, the woman made her smell some weird flower. Few days after, she started to feel the simptoms.

"Luce, wake up. We're here!" Natsu said while shaking her. Her eyes slowly opening from tiredness and somehow, magic loss.

"W-What the..?" She wispered as she noticed random bruises appearing on her body.

"You okay?" Natsu asked as he walked back to her. She quickly covered the bruises and nodded her head.

They headded to the bandits. Of course, they had to make a disguise. They ranted carriage, Lucy was in front and Natsu hid in the back, waiting to suprise-attack the bandits.

Lucy's condition was just getting worse, but she refused to tell Natsu a word before they finnish the job request. After a ride that lasted 20 minutes, Lucy heard a noise in the bushes.

"Natsu, I think they're here.." Lucy said, she heard no response. She turned around to see Natsu on the carriage floor, his motion sickness kicking in.

"HAND ALL YOU HAVE!" Roared a man with black hair and green eyes, wearing a black coat and black boots.

"Who are you?!" Yelled Lucy, the man gave her a deadly glare before slowly stomping her way.

"I am your worst nightmare, miss. And my friend here will be, too." His eyes suddenly changing color to red as he came closer to Lucy's face, touching her chin with his index finger.
