Never Will I Say That I Love You Too.

-~NATSU'S POV~-

I kissed her.

I might had been aiming for the lips but she quickly put her hand on my mouth, putting her finger on her lips to tell me to shut up. She signaled me to listen and so I did. It seemed that some people were coming in this direction

Why didn't I notice it before?

Because you were so busy trying to kiss her.

Ugh, I hate you brain.

Never will I ever say that I love you too.

Stupid-

"Hey, we even don't know if they came here." I heard a guy speak.

"We saw them running here. In this direction. It's dark. They must be close by, so keep your mouth shut and try not to make a sound." It seemed like they were only two guys, and one was a little older than the other. One of them must have a lot of weight, judging by the heavy footsteps. I turned to Lucy and she had wrapped her hands around her lips tightly. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed lightly.

"We'll quietly run away, okay? Follow me." I softly whispered to her, getting a no in result. That's when I saw one of Luce's hand on her foot and her glossy eyes.

"Climb on me." I whispered to her and signaled her to my back. She silently wrapped her arms around my neck and got in a hugging position. When I felt them coming near us, I picked a stone and threw it in other direction. I heard them stopping.

"Did you hear it?" The younger one said. I peeked and saw them hearing for further voices. I mentally vowed to get out of here and threw the other stone in other direction, Lucy doing the same thing all of a sudden. As soon as they started running in the direction where we threw the stone and got out of sight, I grabbed Lucy's thighs and sprinted in the opposite direction. I knew the woods like the back of my hand so I ran straight to my nest. I heard them scream and run towards our direction, but what they don't-

Snap!

I was almost caught in a trap that a hunter must've built but thankfully, I dodged it. I heard another snap and two screams. Knowing they were caught in a trap, I smirked, mentally screamed a 'yay' and still kept running. When I got out of the forest, I saw the gates open and a car entering. I sprint into full speed and made it inside. That's when I remembered Luce was on my back and started panting and panicking. Jellal and Erza got out of the car and quickly made their way towards us.

"What happened?" Jellal asked at the same Erza yelled, "What did you do this time?"

"Luce and I just- Luce? You okay?" I turned my head around, seeing Lucy with no emotion in her eyes and not breathing.

"LUCY!" We all screamed at the same time, making her snap out of her trance and looking around, breathing again.

"What- where- how?" She clutched her head tightly and huffed.

"Let's take you inside." I said and started walking to the front door.

"Wait," she said and I stopped, "Put me down."

"Luce-

"Please." It was barely a whisper. A whisper that showed how... Tired... She was.
