Kick Twenty Three: Clues
Previously on FPG:

"I'm nervous f-for Love-rival and Mira-san." Juvia spoke gently, wiping some runaway tears from her pale cheeks.

"They're going to be okay, I promise."

"Are you so sure about that?" A voice piped up.

"Who's there?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juvia clung to Gray tightly, her eyes closed to prevent the tears from escaping. Gray's arms wrapped around Juvia, comforting her shaking frame as a look of anger crossed his face.

"You heard him, who's there?" Erza screeched.

"Wouldn't you like to know? If you knew, it'd ruin the surprise." A voice seethed, making chills creep into the teens frozen bodies.

"Give us our friends." Levy shouted, anger and tears mixed upon her red cheeks.

"Why should we? It's just a game anyway."

"Then your game is sick!" Natsu hissed, his knuckles clenched together, "If you don't give us Mira and Lucy back it isn't going to end well for you!"

"If you win the game, you could get them back." The mysterious voice grew closer and closer.

"Oh my god." Juvia's face covered her mouth in dismay.

There, standing in front of them stood Dan and Lisanna. Dan was dressed in leather, some dust laying here and there. However, the group also notices a scratch on his cheek, blood dripping from it. Lisanna dressed in leather too, although, at her hip laid a whip. Lisanna's outfit was extremely revealing.

"What's the catch?" Natsu growled, watching as Lisanna took strides toward him.

"Hmm, follow me." Lisanna smirked evilly, her hips swaying as Dan and the others followed her.

Natsu and Laxus walked in the front of the group, trying to stay as calm as possible. Lisanna lead them to a black room. She rounded the table, showing the group a map.

"Cut the crap, what the hell is the map for?" Gray hissed.

"Now Gray, don't start getting angry yet," Dan remarked, smirking.

Natsu and Laxus' face grew tick marks. Everyone looked at the map, trying to memorize it. Levy secretly took a picture on her phone, because whatever it is, has to be important later.

"Now, listen closely, because I am not repeating myself again." Lisanna grinned, her red fingernails pointing to the map. "This is where Lucy and Mira are, but, in order to get them out, you have to go to each and every room, there is only one way into the room they're located in."

Lisanna's face grew evil, "And if you don't get to them on time, they die."

Natsu's face grew horrified. Laxus stopped, his heart racing. They were in deep trouble. One wrong move could ruin their lives. Natsu looked at Lisanna, slamming a hand on the table, "What do you mean they die?" He asked with gritted teeth.

"The room they're in is concealed. Meaning I can do whatever I want with the click of the button. At the start of the timer, you must solve all the room's puzzles. All of them are different. Now, if you run out of time, I fill the room with a toxic acid."

"And, if you're rude, we take five minutes off their time limit." Dan added, looking toward a black wall.

"We have one more thing to show you." Lisanna walked over to the wall, clicking a button.

The black wall opened slowly, revealing glass. There they were. Lucy was hanging from two chains connected at the ceiling, Mira in the same position. Lucy and Mira's heads rose slightly.

"N-Natsu..." Lucy murmured.

"They came..." Mira smiled weakly some tears escaping her crystal blue eyes.

"SILENCE!" Dan screamed, sending an armored man in.

The man cracked a whip against them both. The part that worried Natsu and Laxus was they weren't screaming, they kept smiling and crying.

"I WANT TO HEAR SCREAMS!~" Lisanna smirked, watching as Lucy and Mira kept their mouth shut.

'We love you' Was mouthed my both girls...until it happened.

That's when it happened...when fate stepped in and changed the game.

What game you ask?

The game of murder and death...
