Chapter 7
~Lucy's POV
I felt someone shaking me, disturbing me from my peaceful sleep. To my disappointment it didn't stop.
I opened my eyes to find Natsu smiling at me. All dressed up in a suit and Nash in decent clothes. "Did you forget the party we are supposed to attend?"
I shrugged...
Probably...
But then I remembered.
Fuck!
Luckily I didn't say that out loud. I jumped of the bed and went to my wardrobe. "No entering!" I screamed. I know Natsu... little pervert...
When I came out, dressed in a dress Natsu smiled more. "Finally," he said with an eyeroll.
Nash was probably downstairs, having someone to accompany him. Then Natsu's face suddenly turned serious.
"Lucy, I want you to listen carefully," he began. I nodded as I brushed my teeth. My breath smelled horribly.
"I am going to be harsh and cold towards you this party."
Before I could open my mouth he elaborated. "Powerful people are attending it, less powerful than me, but still enough to do something. If they know I have you and Nash as weaknesses, they will aim for you. Of course they know you are my wife, but some think I only married you for business and to have an heir. Remember, you are still a Heartfilia."
Seems acceptable, but still. After I was done brushing I sighed. "Nash and I can handle ourselves."
He was watching me through the mirror. He was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "I know you can. I just don't wanna take any risks on making enemies who will go after you. And you know that."
I sighed, knowing I can't win and nodded. Before anyone can argue with me, he is not a coward. To you it may seem so, but if I was someone that powerful, I would make the same decision. Family above power, right?
Natsu fixed his tie and smirked, his reflection noticeable in my mirror. "Threats only work if you fear losing something, right?"
I nodded, a sigh escaping my lips. "You are only this powerful because you are good at bluffing," I said playfully.
He scoffed. "Believe me, you wouldn't want me as your enemy."
I smiled. "Your ego will be the cause of your downfall one time, you know."
Natsu looked at himself in the mirror. "I never underestimate my enemies."
We arrived at the owner's house. It was huge! Maybe even bigger than Natsu's mansion. Luckily there is security for random people who want to come in. Natsu's crew attended with us.
The door of the car opened. I stepped outside and let Nash pick my hand. I turned to Natsu and saw that he already had his cold face on.
How stupid are the other powerful people if they don't know that he loves us. Oh well...
We went inside and there were lots of people. And to me they all seem as if they are from a different country. Natsu had an arm around my waist, not letting his look fall though.
We went to a table and sat down. We settled our stuff there. Not anything precious or expensive, that you know.
A big man with a weird pack came to us. Natsu smirked at the guy, not the 'I'm way better than you' smirk but the 'Long time no see' smirk.
"Jura Neekis," Natsu said and stuck out his hand.
"If it isn't Natsu Dragneel," he replied and shook his hand. Then the man eyed me, from top to toe.
"You found yourself a good wife," he said. Natsu's face was void of any emotion. "You think? She is just another one of them. Nothing special."
But I could see him making gestures with his hand. It seems that Jura understood it and nodded. Then he left.
I sat on one of the chairs. Natsu came next to me while Nash sat on my lap. "Sorry, Luce. He is loyal, a friend. But I knew others were listening," Natsu whispered.
I turned my look to Natsu. "Others are awfully dumb if they don't know the truth already."
He chuckled. "They are."
He kissed me passionately, but to the outside world it probably looked forced and rough. "Enjoy yourself, don't let go of Nash or bring him to Gray and yell if people are harassing you."
I nodded and then he went away. He needed to handle something. "Want a drink, Nash?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Water please."
I groaned. Why the hell would someone choose water. I don't like it (except on hot days) It doesn't have a taste at all and just yeah. How could people like it?
After an hour here already I began to get bored. I have sent Nash to Jellal and Erza. I was now dancing on the dancefloor. I did encounter Natsu sometimes, but he just gave me the cold shoulder like he said he would.
I was really minding my own world, till I felt a hand at my waist. I just thought it was Natsu's hand, but then it went to my ass.
I immediately jumped away. I saw a man. He looked in his fourties. But above all, he looked so confident in himself. "Why would you do that, pretty lady?"
I held out my wedding ring at him. I know that he could have good intentions and just complimented me. But he was clearly checking me out.
"I have a husband."
He walked slowly to me, but I didn't move back. "I know. But he doesn't treat you nice. I can. Let me show you how much value you have," he said suggestingly.
"Sorry, not gonna take it."
He put his hand on my back again, "I won't take no for an answer, babe."
He said and leaned in to kiss me. I figured that beating the crap out of him would be a bad idea. But I bumped to another man, and seeing their faces they are working together.
"Are you gonna say yes?" The same man asked. I shook my head. They sighed.
Then suddenly they began grabbing my arms, holding me firmly.
The man who grabbed my ass leaned in again. I did a high way kick with my leg. Kicking him in the face as well as shaking off the ones who held me. They all stumbled back and ensembled.
"You motherfucking slut!" he said and advanced, trying to attack me. But before he could do that Natsu jumped in front of me and punched him.
"You shouldn't be here!" Natsu yelled and more and more people came to attack him. The others were just watching.
Soon Jellal, Gray, Laxus and Gajeel joined to party and fought back.
After awhile we stood together, opposite of them. They were glaring at each other.
"Raven Tail," Natsu spat out with disgust.
"Fairy Tail." Their leader sneered back
I was confused, why are they saying mafia names? This was a business party... right?
I looked around, trying to mask my surprise.
Others weren't surprised.
I attended a mafia party without knowing?!! That's dumb.
"What did you do to her?" Natsu asked, refering me as her.
"Nothing... yet. She looks so delicious," one guy said, making me glare at him with disgust too. That seemed to let hell go loose because Gray punched that man.
We began attacking again. "Lucy! Make that you get away from this fight. Go to Erza, Nash and Mira on the other side of the dancefloor," Jellal said.
It was five against 13. So unfair.
I saw 4 people attacking Gray. He could handle it, but I could see struggles there.
I walked to a guy on his back and kicked him in the balls. I wanted to help him... but I guess it worked the other way.
It went silence, the enemy glanced at the man I kicked so hard he fell unconscious.
They looked more angry. So everyone of them advanced to me.
Natsu jumped in front of me again. A raging look took over his features. "Don't you dare touch her."
Natsu was holding an arm in front of me, hinting to everyone that he was protecting me. And his face told one thing very clearly, possessiveness. "Nobody can touch her." Natsu snarled and tackled another enemy.
I was watching them fight over and over again. Nobody used guns, though I wonder if they even brought them.
There was a security check at front.
Everything stopped when we heard a chair breaking.
We looked at the source and saw, luckily, one of the enemy on the ground. A girl, to be exact. Blood began tricking out of her body and everybody seemed to understand what happened.
Raven Tail went around her. They glared at us for probably making her dead. "You dipshit! This wouldn't have happened without you!" the leader screamed.
Natsu stood up fully and looked menacingly at him. "You began the fight the moment you touched what is mine."
They called an ambulance, but when they arrived we were already gone. I found Nash and we all called Capricorn to fetch us. With a big car for the whole crew of course.
"Somebody injured?" I asked. I saw blood tricking out of Jellal's lip. I gave him handkerchiefs. I didn't freak out. I know better than that.
I was stroking Nash's cheek, who was sleeping on my lap. He didn't see anything. Mira put her hands around his eyes when it happened. But of course he could hear it.
I turned to the guys. "Thank you guys for protecting me." I smiled lightly.
"Always," Natsu replied smoothly. He was looking out of the window, his posture still tense as if searching for potential danger.
I leaned against his shoulder. Nash's legs were on Natsu's lap. I put some headphones on, so I could listen to music and won't hear the outside world. I fell asleep.
~Natsu's POV
The moment Lucy closed her eyes I had a stern look on my face. The other boys also straightened their backs and the females were clearly confused at the sudden change of looks.
He can't get to her, he can't.
But then again, I don't know with who he is working with.
"N...Natsu-san? What's wrong?" Juvia asked.
I was looking straight out of the window. "They can't. I won't let them," I said in a sort of trance.
The boys clenched their hands while the girls were more confused, "Huh?" Levy said.
My anger was rising within the minute. I kept repeating his words through my mind.
"They can't touch Lucy," I snapped.
Someone threatened me, on the party. Clearly one of my enemies. And it wasn't half-hearted threats, I could tell. He meant it, he will try to make his words true. I know it.
I clenched my teeth at his words,
You are going to regret attending this party. We're going to torture you with the things you love. We're beginning with her. Mark my words, Dragneel.
