Stay With Me

Chapter 14

Lucy's POV

Everything was black. I could hear voices but I couldn't see anything. My side hurt really bad for some reason and I couldn't remember what hapened. But, the question is, where am I?

I could here someone coming closer and stop in front of where I was currently laying. The person sighed and then asked, "How is she?" I thought for a moment, that voice being extremely familiar... 'Natsu?'

"She's fine. The arrow just barely missed a major artery, so she's pretty lucky. It'll take a little while to recover though." A woman said. It must have been Porlyusika. I then heard two other people sigh and felt someone put there hand on my leg.

"I'm just glad she's okay." Erza. "Have you heard anything about the girl?" She then asked.

I slowly began to open my eyes and my head started throbbing. I clutched my head with my hand as I tried to sit up. "What happened?" I asked but my voice cracked.

"Lucy!" I heard three people say in union. As my eyes started to focus, I could see Gray, Natsu and Erza on either side of my bed.

"You're awake." Erza said in a some what relieved voice.

I winced as a terrible pain shot through my side. Then it dawned me. Nashi! Where is she?! "Where's Nashi?!"

"You mean the little girl?" Gray asked. A silence filled the room. Tension replaced relaxed figures.

"We-" Erza started, "We, haven't found her yet." She finished and glanced at Natsu and Gray.

My motherly instincts immediately kicked in. I bolted out of my spot but both of my arms were held by Natsu and Gray to stop me from going anywhere. I struggled and kicked to get out of their grasp. "L-let go!" I pleaded. I kicked some more but Natsu and Gray kept me in my place.

"Calm down Lucy!" Natsu said.

I tried harder to get away from them. "I can't calm down! I have to find her!" I cried.

"It okay Lucy! We'll find her-" Gray started but was interrupted by my next statement.

"No! No you don't understand! She's my daughter!" And with that, they both loosened their grip on me. Silence erupted in the room once again. I breathed heavily as I looked at their shocked faces. But I wasted no time. I took the advantage of not being held back and ran out of the room. I grasped my side as I ran because let me tell you, the arrow wound hurt like hell.

As I entered the main hall, I heard a few people gasp and the majority of the guild started whispering. I heard my name being called and I tried to move faster. "Ah!" I yelled as I fell over while I felt the wound in my side open. I was only wearing a long white blouse that stopped in the middle of my thigh and short black shorts that hid underneath it. The blood was clearly visible as it soaked the surrounding area of my shirt. I layed on the ground as I clutched my side in pain. The poison was definitely starting to kick in.

"Lucy!" I heard Natsu yell. He ran up to me and placed his hand on top of the hand that was holding my now open wound. Gray and Erza followed quickly behind.

My breath was raspy as I breathed in and out. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I quietly sobbed into Natsu's lap.

After a couple minutes, my breathing was at a normal pace and I had stopped crying. I took a slow, long, deep breath and whispered, "She's in danger."

Natsu slowly helped me to my feet and I put an arm around his neck to help support me. "We'll find her, Lucy. I understand-" He didn't get to finish because of my resistance.

I pushed myself away from him and stumbled a little due to the pain that traveled throughout my right side. "Stop thinking you understand, because you don't! The man that took her? He's dangerous!" I yelled and Natsu seemed shocked at my sudden outburst. "I left for a reason Natsu!" I continued, "And right now, my number one priority is Nashi." I finished and then started walking angrily towards the infirmary, limping as well.

I entered the previous room I was in and slammed the door. I locked it and shortly after, Natsu started banging on it. I ignored his calls and sat on the bed. I lifted my shirt over my head and through it on the floor then grabbed near by bandages and started wrapping my wound. I fished and put my hair up in a ponytail. I walked over to where my cloths were and put on a black crop top and a black leather jacket. I slipped on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and then put on my black boots. I equipped my whip and keys to either side of my belt and walked out to the main hall as stable as possible.

Natsu's POV

I sat at the bar with my hands folded on the counter. Lucy was finally back. And she had a daughter... It was just... Unbelievable. The woman I loved already had a daughter with someone else...

I turned my attention towards the infirmary when I saw Lucy come from that direction. She had a completely different outfit on, but she stood tall and looked confident.

She walked into the middle of the guild and whistled loudly to get everyone's attention. "Listen," She started, "My daughter was taken by a very dangerous man. He- He's..." She trailed off seeming to not be able to find the words to what she was going to say. Then she started speaking again, "Four years ago, I got pregnant." My muscles tensed when she that. Pregnant. "I was about to come tell everyone before I had an unexpected visitor, so I had no choice but to leave. You see, I left for all of your safety!" She continued, and I felt upset for some reason. I guess I just wish she came to me... "This man... He's capable of anything. He's extremely powerful too, and he has my daughter!" Lucy cried. "And I need all of your help to save her! Before time runs out..." She finished. A loud cheer of approval erupted from the crowd and Lucy sighed of relief.

I got up and walked outside of the guild. I needed some time to breathe.

A/N

Hey-o! Sorry the chapter is lateish.... I think. And sorry if it's not so good either. But if it is late, I just want to let you all know my internet was down for some stupid reason. I was unbelievably happy when it came back.

Also, I wanted to let you all know that I do like it when you point out something I did wrong. I don't care if your insulting or complimenting my story, I want your opinion of how I write so I can better at it.

Thank you!
