Chapter 2 - Misfortune

LUCY'S POV

It's been just a little over a week, since me and Natsu broke up, and as I stare blankly at my bedroom ceiling, flash backs of us together constantly torment me. I feel so exhausted and my eyes feel so droopy and swollen, from the lack of sleep and the uncontrollable crying. As I struggle to tear my sluggish body from my oh so comfortable bed. I fumble up onto my feet, I can't help but feel really light headed, so I flop back down onto my bed. "Ahh, why do I feel so dizzy all of a sudden?" I wince, as my head begins to hurt. 

Suddenly an over powering amount of pain was coming from my stomach "AHHH." I scream out in agony, as I claw at my stomach. Tears trailing down my face.

I fall off my bed onto the ground, curling into a ball. "It hurts" I whimper, wishing it would stop. Then a flash of light appears in the corner of my eye. "LUCY!" I hear a voice, rushing over to me.

"Loke?" I cried, as I reach out to touch him. My vision was blurred from the tears, but I could always tell it was Loke, he was the only one strong enough to open his own gate. But I pause just inches away from his face, when I feel another sharp pain. I snap my eyes shut, my whole body trembling as the pain was becoming more severe.

LOKE'S POV

I was sitting with Scorpio when I felt a weird tingling sensation, but I wasn't the only one, so did everyone else that was bound to Lucy. It left different from the feeling I got a week ago. This was more of a nagging feeling and this time the others were feeling it too.

Using my own strength I open the gate of the lion, to see if everything was okay with Lucy. As I'm in transit to Fiore, I hear a scream and instantly I knew that it was Lucy

I finally arrive at Lucy's apartment and to my horror, I see Lucy curled up on the ground in a pool of blood. "LUCY!" I shout in distress, rushing over to her side. Dropping to my knees, I was in complete shock, I couldn't even think of anything to say. "Loke!" she whimpers, as she tries to reach out to me.

She was in so much pain, and right now I need to hurry up and get her to the hospital. She looks so weak and pale. I scooped her up into my arms, and when I did, I noticed that even though its only been a week, she feels lighter than before. I look over her and she actually looks thinner. I also see that her arms are tightly braced around her stomach. With the hospital being 10 minutes away, I had no choice but to travel through the celestial word. It was against the rules, but I was desperate right now and the celestial king will understand.

"Loke. Please make it stop." Lucy cries out in agony. "Tsk" I say, as I need to hurry.

But before I was even able to bring Lucy into the celestial world, I take one of my rings off and slip it on her finger. You need to have something from my world in order to travel through here. "Hang on Lucy." I say as I jump through my gate, holding Lucy firm against my chest.

We jump through time and space and finally make it to the emergency room. I run over to receptionist. Without even saying a word, the nurse frantically jumps up from her seat and ushered us over to a doctor, where we were shown to a hospital bed. Lucy was wincing in pain and as I place her down, she was still curling into a ball, arms still braced around her stomach.

The doctors were about to wheel Lucy away to theater, but just as they were about to leave, Lucy grabbed ahold of my hand. "Loke! I'm scared." She whispered, tears trailing down her face.

"You're going to okay now Lucy." I tried to re-ensure her, but mostly trying to believe it myself. I kissed her hand before letting it go and watched has she was taken behind the frosted covered sliding doors.
