Saved Once Again (Nalu)

Chapter 14

Natsu's POV

I was angry that I didn't get another chance to fight Akari, but Erza was right. I needed to help everyone to safety.

By the time we were all in the ground, everyone was awake.

"Happy, start leading them back to the guild, I'll help the others fight." I tell Happy as I start to walk off in the direction of the fighting.

"Wait--" I hear Lucy's voice from behind me, and I turn around." Be careful."

I smile and nod, and she smiles back. Then we both went our separate ways.

Lucy's POV

The entire way back to the guild I couldn't help but worry about Natsu and the others. From what I've seen, this guild is really strong.

"Hey are you okay?" I look over and see Yukino walking next to me.

"Yeah. I'm just a little worried." I answer.

"It's going to be okay." She reassures me and I nod.

"Hey, do you know who those other two are?" I asks as I motion to the other two people who were chained up in the room with us.

"No, they haven't said anything to anyone." She replies as she looks over at them.

"I'll go try to talk to them." I say before I walk off in their direction.

"Hey, I'm Lucy." I greet them. There was a man and a woman. The man had short black hair and green eyes, and the woman had mid-length blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Hi, I'm Ray." The man says.

"And I'm Alexa." The woman says.

"Nice to meet you. Are you guys celestial wizards too?" I ask.

"Yeah, we are." Ray answers.

"Is there really only five left?" I ask as I look around and count all of us who were there. There was Hisui, Yukino, Cody, Alexa, and I.

"No, they are still in the process of gathering the last of them." Alexa informs me.

"Do you know how many there're left, including us?" I continue to question them.

"I don't know, maybe around fifteen." Alexa guesses as she glances at Ray, and he nods.

Just then we arrive at our guild.

"We're here!" I smile at them and we all enter the guild.

"You guys are back!" Mira cheers from behind the counter at the bar." Where is everyone else?"

"They're still fighting at Blue Skull's guild." I answer.

"Do you know when they'll be back?" She asks.

I shake my head." I have no idea."

I sigh as I sit down at the bar.

I wonder if they're okay.

"Hey, Lucy." I look over and see Hisui approaching me.

"Hey, what's up?" I ask.

"I think I'm going to head back to my castle, so they know I'm okay." She says.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, they walked in and took you once, they can do it again." I point out.

"But is here any safer?" She argues.

She's got a point. It's not like we have the most powerful wizards guarding our guild, but if she's there she could put her kingdom in danger.

"Not really, but think about what would happen if your dad got hurt trying to protect you." I argue back.

"I guess you're right." She sighs as she sits down next to me.

"You can go back as soon as all of this is over." I tell her.

"I know, but how long will that be?" She asks.

"I don't know." I answer. I really hope that it's not long.

Few moments later Levy and through the guild doors.

"Levy are you okay?" I ask. He clothes looked worn out, and had rips in them, and were dirty.

"They have everyone." She says.
