(Lucy's POV)

I got to the edge of the building and nearly fell off, but Sting grabbed my arm and caught me before I did. He held my wrist tight, refusing to let go.
"G-get off me!" I cried, trying to wriggle free, but to no avail.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR!?" Me and Sting both looked over our shoulders, to see Natsu charging towards Sting. "SHE SAID GET OFF!"

Natsu rammed into Sting, making him release his grasp on my wrist and pushing him off the edge of the building.

But, Natsu couldn't stop due to his momentum.....

And fell off too.

"NATSU!!!" I yelled, looking over the edge of the building. I felt tears streaming down my face, so I closed my eyes and cried my heart out.

Natsu's gone.

My Natsu.

He died saving me.

"A little help here!" A familiar voice yelled. I opened my eyes and looked down to see...
"NATSU!" I cried. A broad smile covered my face. He was holding onto an aerial sticking out the building, but his back was streaming with blood. "You're not dead!"
"Of course not!" He smirked. "But I could do with some help."

I reached out to him and helped him back into the roof of the building.
"It's a long way down...." Natsu muttered.
"What happened to Sting?" I asked.
"I think he landed on a nearby buildin-"
"Is he dead!?" I panicked. I know he's our enemy and all, but I don't like
people dying.

It's not nice guys.

"Probably," Natsu sighed. "But he might still be alive."
"We need to get out of here." I said, changing the subject.
"Let's go." Natsu replied. He was just about to walk off when he fell to his knees.

"Are you okay!?" I asked.
"My back..." He grunted.
What am I going to do??

(A/N): This sounds so sarcastic. I don't mean it to be, I'm just terrible at writing suspense like this^^

"Don't move!" I looked up and saw a woman with blue hair; she was pointing a gun at us.
"Is this them Gray-sama?" She asked. Wait. Gray-sama?
"Yeah, it's them." A familiar voice said.

"Gray!" I yelled. "Natsu needs help!"
"Yeah I know, he's messed up." Gray smirked.
"No! I mean he's losing blood!"
"Ahh, crap! Juvia, can you help me out here?"
"Of course Juvia will Gray-sama!" 'Juvia' squealed.

Gray took off his shirt and used it as a bandage for Natsu's back. I guess that stripping fault comes in handy when you need it. Juvia didn't help at all, she just stared at Gray with hearts in her eyes. What's her deal?

"Juvia, can you help us get out of here?" Gray asked her. She nodded, then gestured for us to follow. Gray carried Natsu on his back and we set off.

////////////////////////

We got out the building and got into a black Range Rover, which, I'm guessing, belonged to Juvia. Gray and Juvia got in the front, and I sat in the back with Natsu. He's fallen asleep, so I rested his head on my lap.

He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping.

"So Juvia," I smiled. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Lucy."
"Nice to meet you Lucy, but Juvia is going to call you Love Rival." She replied.
"Huh? Why?" I asked.
"Gray-sama is Love Rival's neko-boy, so Gray-sama won't love Juvia, and Juvia's jealous." She explained. "So Lucy is my Love Rival."
"R-right...." I said awkwardly.

We'd been driving for a while, and now we were out the city and in the countryside.
"Juvia, where are we going?" Gray asked.
"Juvia is taking you somewhere safe, away from Mr. Heartfilia. He is evil." She explained.

"How did you get into the building and find Gray?" I asked her.
"Juvia worked there, but wanted to help Gray-sama as soon as she laid eyes on him." She smiled.
"So you worked for my dad?"
"Juvia did. Juvia's job was to guard the lab, but Gray-sama asked for my help."
"Okay,"

I heard a quiet groan and Natsu began to awaken from his slumber.
"H-hey Luce..." He mumbled.

Why is my heart beating so fast??
