Natsu's  POV:

  Today, I was standing outside my home. I heard some noise in the thicket area. Perhaps it is a deer I thought.  I walked closer to it and gasped. 

   It was no deer. It was a girl trapped in the thicket. How had she gotten here?  Is there a way to get her out?

     "Hi," I said.

   "Hi, I am Lucy," She said.

   "Hi, pretty lady, I am Natsu," I said.

     Lucy looked at me in surprise and tried to move. She couldn't.  How did she get this way? 

        "You are in the thicket," I said the obvious.

    "Yes, and it appears I am stuck," She said.

    I tried to pull her out. That did not work.

   I tried to shove the bushes out of the way. She remained stuck.

    I attempted to saw a branch loose from a nearby tree. She was still there.

    "Miss Lucy, how did you get in there?" I asked.

    "I am not sure. I came this way and admired the flowers, then I tripped," She said.

     " Next thing, I knew I was stuck," She told me.

    I smiled. She was lovely to look at.   My garden is better with her in it I thought.

  I saw her struggle to break free.

  The thicket appears to have a firm hold on her.

  I  felt bad for her. Truly I did.

 I burnt a small portion of the brush and pulled it free. Then, I stomped on the seared parts. 

 The fire went out, but the girl remained as she was previously.  I was not sure if she died.

  "Lucy," I called out hoping for some signs of life despite the charred ruins of ash.

  "N-Natsu, " I heard her mutter.

 "yes," I asked.

 "Get me out of here!" She shouted.  I knew she was not angry with me. She only wanted my help out. That is all.

    I  shook the thorns around her.  One of them pricked my hand. The thorn fell off and the hand healed itself. 

 Lucy groaned. She was uncomfortable I could tell.

    What more could I do?  I could not get her to budge.

     I pulled out a hatchet. I would try once more, but would I succeed?  Or would she remain trapped in my thicket area?
