Saved Once Again (Nalu)

Chapter 13

Erza's POV

Happy flies me up to the top of the tower, and I climb through a window. I look down and see people coming out of the tower to fight.

Happy and I start to search the tower for Lucy, Natsu, and Yukino.

After a while of wandering around, we found a door that looked like it would lead to some kind of cell. The door had a rug in front of it. I lifted up the rug and found a key.

"Too easy." I said under my breathe as I unlock the door.

Happy and I enter the room and see six people chained up.

"Erza?" I hear Lucy's voice.

"Lucy." I walked up to her and unchained her. I caught her before she fell to the ground.

"Lucy! Are you okay?" Happy asks as he flies over.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You need to get everyone else out of here." She says.

I look around and see Natsu and Yukino chained up as well. Then I saw Hisui.

"They got the princess?" I ask.

"Yeah, apparently her guards were weak compared to this guild." Lucy says.

I set her down and start unchaining everyone else.

"Okay, Happy do you think you can carry all of us down?" I ask after I finish.

"Not all at once!" He exclaimed." I can barley carry Lucy by herself, how do you expect me to carry her plus six people?!"

"Hey! Shut up cat!" Lucy yelled.

"I guess you'll just have to take a few trips down then." I say, and Happy groans.

I look over at Natsu and realize he hasn't said anything at all.

"Natsu are you alright?" I ask him.

"Yeah, but when I see Akari again, I'm going to get her back for what she did." He says.

"First we need to get everyone to safety." I say. He nods and gets up." There's a window on the top floor that Happy will fly all of us down from, but we need to get everyone up there."

"Okay." Natsu says. He picks up two people, and I do the same, and Happy carries Lucy.

When we get to the top, Happy starts carrying people down two at a time. Lucy argued that she wasn't going down until everyone else was safe. Just as Happy was coming up to get Natsu and Lucy, a girl appeared behind me.

"Where do you think you're going?" She says.

"Who are you?" I ask as I turn around.

"Aww, did your friends not tell you about me? I'm Akari." She says.

She's the one with the necklace that deflects spells.

"You." Natsu growls as he starts walking towards her.

"Natsu, you need to go and get everyone back to the guild. I'll deal with her." I say, holding my arm out in front of him, so he couldn't walk any farther.

He glares at Akari as he walks back over to Lucy and Happy. Happy grabbed both of them and started to carry them down, and I turned to face Akari.
