Chapter 15: Drum Island

Chapter 15: Drum Island

Lucy sighed worriedly as she sat next to Nami's bed in the women's quarter, her brow scrunched together as she rung out another wet cloth and put it on the other woman's forehead.

After leaving Little Garden and making it back to the open sea, Nami had begun to act strange. She was out of breath and was tired, and her face was flushed and sweaty. Lucy had come to shoo her off to the room for sleep when she collapsed. Ever since Nami had been asleep.

Phoenix, Lucy, and Vivi had checked her over. A fever that wouldn't go down, an inflamed throat, irregular breathing, rapid heartbeat that would slow down at times before kicking back up; none of them knew what to do. So for now, trying to bring down her fever was the best and only thing they could do. They were all taking shifts to watch over her, make sure she didn't get worse. And they were detouring now, looking desperately for land, and hopefully a doctor who could help their dear nakama. Vivi didn't care for Vivi's country at the moment, she would always take care of her nakama.

Sitting back and moving to her bed, Lucy watched Nami and a soft smile came to her face. Though she knew this was no time to be thinking of the past she couldn't help but think of Natsu and that time he had dug up a Rainbow Sakura, placed it in a boat, and sent it down the canal outside her house. All because she was upset she was too sick to go and see them. Master chewed him out the next day, a furious look over his face because Natsu didn't replant it. She had felt perfectly fine after seeing that, it had healed her.

But sadly, there were no sakura trees out on the ocean for Nami to stare at and get better. Maybe when they were able Lucy could convince Nami of the need for one...she was the captain after all, and if she wanted one then who was to truly tell her 'no'. It was a harmless request after all. But that would also come after Nami got better, and she would get better. Even if Lucy had to trade her life to a deity or devil, Nami would get better. Fairy Tail would not lose another member.

"Lucy," Zoro's deep voice cut into her thoughts, coming over to her and placing a hand on her shoulder. "Nothing bad will happen to Nami, I know, you'll always find a way to pull us through." She looked up and smiled at her first mate's, trying her best to reassure him that she would be fine. He was always looking out for her. But, that's what first mates do. "We're entering a winter climate area or something, Vivi says we're getting close to an island." Lucy nodded her head and called upon Phoenix, who had her large medical book with her. Without a word Phoenix began to take care of Nami. Seeing that Nami was in good hands Lucy went topside with Zoro.

The deck was already lightly covered in snow, the snow from above dusting over Lucy's cheeks and making her smile at the refreshing feeling. Snow brought her back to that first day at Fairy Tail with Natsu, it reminded her of Gray as well, who most likely would've been stripping at the sight of snow. A habit due to his training from a young age. Laughing at her thoughts Lucy moved towards the front of the ship, Zoro coming to stand besides her as they looked up at Usopp who had binoculars and was scoping out the surrounding area. Now that they were in an Island's magnetic field Lucy was using Pyxis to find the island they were heading towards. It would seem that Pyxis could track islands in the magnetic line they were already in, but because the one they were heading to now wasn't on their travel plan they had to wait to enter an island's field.

"Lucy, here's a coat," Vivi said as she came up to them, fully decked out in winter gear, the desert woman not used to the cold. Lucy laughed and said she was fine, making everybody who had heard her look at her strange. Lucy was only wearing a light blue bikini top, jean shorts, and sandals, her hair up in a bun, two strands framing her face. She looked like she was ready for summer, not winter. Giggling at their confused looks Lucy decided to explain before they tried to force her into a coat. She would overheat in that though.
