Lucy was flung to each side of the carriage like she was a rag doll. Each time she tried to keep her balance, she'd fall. She was afraid at one point the door would open and she'd fall out.
She only had a grasp of what was going on. Virgo and the Twins had found trouble that had followed them to Hargeon when they were on their way to pick her and Loki up. Unfortunately that 'trouble' were friends of Loki's who were of the same guild called Fairy Tail. Loki was trying to distract them but they recognized Virgo and the twins and at this point they'd probably began fighting.
She was fearful of many things of what was to happen from then on. 
Would they make it out of the fight and back to her side?
Would they lose?
Then the negative thoughts began as always whenever she became fearful, it was bound to bring her negative thoughts.
But she couldn't continue the thoughts after the hearing a slam and wind blew in. Her instinct was to pull up her hood over her head. The door closed and she heard a click.
Definitely a gun was being pointed at her by an enemy that had snuck into the carriage. But she wanted to know how they were able to catch up-

She could feel her heart race. The carriage was dark with the sun most likely down past the horizon and the moon risen. She couldn't see at all, and without her eyes, she didn't know where the gun was, so she wouldn't risk fighting back.
"I wanna ask some questions,"his voice was blunt, tapping what was most likely his gun on her knee making her jump. She was very uncomfortable with her arms supporting her on the carriage seat and her knees up,"You were with Loki, but you are definitely with the ones at the auction.
"And if I was?"she spoke with as much might she could muster, pushing back the shakiness in her voice.
"Then you know about Princess Lucille Ashlee de' Heartfillia,"his tone became darker, but something in his voice seemed almost hopeful. She stiffened.
"I don't-"
"Bullshit!"his yell made her jump again, afraid she may have said something wrong,"There was a woman who looked exactly like Luce!"
"Luce?"She was about to say something else, but her own throat prevented her.
"Show me your face,"he spoke before her.
"You'd get nothing, it is too dark-"
"That doesn't matter, the moon shows enough light,"he interrupted, his voice was so blunt, but it was so familiar. When he said 'Luce' she couldn't help but feel happy... but why?
Before she could do anything or he could, the carriage stopped suddenly. Her body slammed into the seat as he got flung into her lap.
"Shit..."he groaned, standing back up,"Guess I've been noticed,"he glanced at the woman he tried to interrogate. The moon seemed to light up her unconscious face,"Must've hit her head to hard."
He was about to open the door to the carriage before he had the urge to give the woman a second glance. Her pale skin was like milk, hair as golden as the sun, her sleeping face soft and undisturbed. She was... beautiful. She may have been the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
"Luce..."he breathed out, almost naturally and with relief. His peacefulness was interrupted by the door whipping open and a girl stood in panic.
"P-Princess! What have you done to her?!"she glared at him.
"She hit her head when you stopped-"
"What do you want from us?"she asked, trying to calm herself,"We don't have any jewels with us if that's what you wanted!"
He shook his head, looking away from her. His hand raised to touch Lucy.
"Don't you dare touch her!"she yelled more,"I-If you hurt her-"

"I wouldn't harm Luce if it cost me my life,"he glared at her as if it was ridiculous she could come up with such a thing.

"Luce?"she questioned his word, or 'name' he said. Her eyes widened and she seemed a bit hopeful but still tense,"There's only one Princess spoke of who called her by 'Luce'. Please tell me what your name is."
He stood silent before speaking,"Natsu."
She sighed in relief, her shoulders dropping with ease,"Thank god it was you and not an enemy."
Natsu raised a brow, but he couldn't speak anymore words. His ears filled with a stressed moan making him look down at who he believed to be Luce, the one he was looking for over so many years.
Her eyes opened giving him a sight of their walnut colored grandeur, but for only second before she shut them quickly in pain,"Mini?"she  opened her eyes again to the the woman outside the carriage.
"Princess, are you alright?"the woman at the carriage door asked in much worry and concern.
"Dizzy..."she groaned, pushing herself  to at least sit up on the seat, but it only hurt her head by the movement.
"We'll wait here for the others to catch up, for now get rest,"Mini suggested,"You hit your head quite hard."
She moaned again before closing her eyes and she was out that easily. Natsu sat down next to her, his arms wrapping around her and pulling her towards him. Her body leaned against him, her head dropping softly to his shoulder.
Mini couldn't help but smile lightly at the scene and close the door lightly to not disturb them.
