You're Part of My Crew Now, Princess

Restoration -Final Chapter

The meeting was over and everyone was just walking around camp or sleeping. Natsu was walking back towards the medical tent when Gray ran up to him.

"Natsu!"

"What do you want Popsicle?" Natsu was not happy about Gray's sudden appearance and let out a short growl.

"One of the prisoners would like to speak to you," Gray explained carefully, as he knew why Natsu was angry.

"The blue-haired one. She was uh...one of the people who kidnapped Lucy," Gray sort of mumbled the last part, but Natsu heard him clearly.

"Where is she!" it was less of a question and more of a demand.

"This way." Gray began walking towards the tents that were holding the prisoners.

Gray accompanied Natsu into the tent to make sure he didn't kill the girl in his rage.

"Are you the man Juvia asked for? Are you the captain of the Fairy Tail Pirates?" Juvia was looking at Natsu questioningly.

"Yes, I'm the man you asked for." Natsu didn't sit down in the chair provided for him, he decided he wanted to loom over the girl in hopes of intimidating her.

"Good, Juvia would like to ask you something."

"Get on with it!" Natsu was losing his patience, and Gray had to hold him back before he attacked the girl.

"Juvia would like to apologize to you for what Juvia has done. Juvia did not want to do it. You see, Juvia's family has been taken by Lord Akagi and are being held as prisoners. He told Juvia that if Juvia didn't do as Juvia was told, Juvia's family would die. Juvia didn't want all this to happen, but Juvia had to protect Juvia's family. Please forgive Juvia." Juvia had tears in her eyes, and Natsu could tell she was telling the truth.

"It is not only me you need to apologize to, but the girl you kidnapped as well. I accept your apology, but I don't know if she will. I can take you to her if you'd like, but I don't know if she would be willing to talk to you."

"Thank you, Juvia also wishes to apologize to the girl Juvia helped kidnap."

"Ok, follow me." Natsu walked out of the tent and Gray and Juvia followed.

The walk to the medical tent was silent, and Natsu was the first to enter, telling Gray and Juvia to wait outside.

"Why is the girl in the medical tent?" Juvia asked Gray while the waited outside.

"You don't know?" Gray turned to look at the confused girl.

"Juvia does not know." Juvia shook her head.

"I'll let Lucy and Natsu explain it to you if they're willing." Gray turned back to look at the tent, and Juvia could see the tears in his eyes.

"Oh no, what has Juvia done," Juvia asked herself quietly.

"She is willing to talk to you, come in." Natsu poked his head out of the tent before disappearing again.

Juvia quietly followed Natsu inside the tent and watched as Gray hesitated to follow. They walked through the tent and walked to the back section that was curtain off a bit. Juvia gasped at what she saw, and tears appeared in her eyes. (A/N- so I forgot to add that Lucy is covered in burns, but Wendy was able to make some of the larger burns smaller and it will take a few days for Wendy to get most of the burns to heal up completely)

"Juvia is the cause of all this? Juvia is so so sorry. Juvia was told they just wanted a person to hold for ransom. Juvia's so sorry," Juvia kept mumbling that she was sorry as tears welled up in her eyes, and outside you could rain hitting the tent.
