Her Hidden Powers (GraLu) 🍋

Chapter 15: Enca 🍋

Sweat dripping down her forehead and cheeks, Lucy's eyes jolted awake. Her stomach was in pain and felt sick. Needing to go to the bathroom, she crept from under Gray. After she fell asleep on his shoulder, he rested his head on top of hers and dozed off. Successfully sneaking out form under his head and closing the door to there room, she ran to the bathroom. Vomiting up everything in her stomach. For a while off and on her stomach was getting nauseous easy. Figuring she developed a food allergy, she decided not to say anything to anyone. It wasn't a big deal. This time, she hadn't eaten in awhile, so, she concluded she might be slowly getting motion sickness also. Damn it! Not me too! she thought after her conclusion. She finished up and rinsed her mouth out well before returning to the car. Sliding the door open soundlessly, she snuck in. Her back was turned when she was closing it and jumped when someone spoke next to her. "Where did you go? Are you feeling alright?" The tired groggy voice asked.

"OMFG Gray, you scared me. I am fine. Well, kinda, ugh promise you won't tell? " She asked piquing his interest."Sigh . . . I think I may be getting motion sick because I felt sick all of a sudden. BUT DON'T TELL THE OTHERS. I will see a doctor when we are done with the mission. I don'r want any distractions for this mission." Lucy blurted out in a frenzy of embarrassment.

Gray chuckled, "I'm sorry my love. I won't say anything to anyone if you don't want me to." Leaning in he kissed her forehead, noting how sweaty she got from being sick. He laid her head down into his lap, moved the hair out of her eyes and whispered. "Rest my love."

The warmth of his lap soothed Lucy down so that she soon fell back to sleep with ease. Gray sighed and looked at his girlfriend. Making sure she was comfy, covered, and secure, he then fell back asleep himself. How he slept perfectly straight up, no one knows. They were on the second train and it was still a few hours out.

================================================================================

Breaks squeaked as the train came to a stop at their destination waking the 2 sleeping mages up. They stretched and gathered their things. Making there way out of the station they went into a near by alley and Lucy created her portal. She updated the group inside the dimension that they just had a 3-hour boat ride to go, then they would be in the right town. Everyone inside looked rested and peaceful. Natsu had been sparing with Wendy and Erza. Laxus was reading, the 2 exceeds were napping. With that, the mages left and went to find the next boat out.

With-in the hour they were on a boat out to Enca, and they were dreading it. Looking out, they were headed into huge waves, strong winds and lots, I mean LOTS of lightning. Their eyes cried a little bit because they weren't ready. What freaked them out more is that the crew on the boat were not phased in the slightest. Some were snickering and glancing at the pair. They could spot the noobs a mile awhile.

The docked at a little seaside town about 3 and a half hours later. That was the worse boat trip of their life. Lucy's legs were weak from trying to stand in one spot for any amount of time without swaying roughly. Looking over at her love, she could tell that he was exhausted from that ride also. The wobbled there way into a near by alley and got the portal up and running. Using each other as support they hobbled into the dimension.

"He guys . . . *heavy breathing* . . . we made it. Ugh. . . The boat ride was rough, to say the least." Gray weakly stated, while Lucy just nodded in agreement.

"Wowww! You 2 look like crap. " Laxus chuckled.

"Oh, shut it lightening rod." Lucy gave Laxus a death glare he had never received from her before. It made him shut his mouth and even, dare Erza say, looked scared slightly.

"Erza, here. . . " Lucy produced a key from her hand. ". . . this is a key to the portal. You can leave your stuff here when not in battle. Just stick the key out and say Lucy Dimension Activate, the dimension will open for you. Also, if you are in crazy danger this will let you escape. Once inside just shout Close Portal. I can sense when you enter it so I can always check in to make sure your okay." Lucy handed the armor made her key.
