Tower of Heaven

Chapter 4

Whe I became conscious again, I was eing dragged through the familiar hallways of the Tower. I knew it was the prison cellblocks from what I can see through my blonde hair that was shadowing my face. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed the other slaves looking though their bars at them dragging me until I hear a cell doo opening

"Here is a new playmate," a voice said

Then I was thrown inside, falling down the ground, my body throbbing with pain. Heck, it feels like I was hurting everywhere down to my bery bones

"Grandpa Rob, is she okay?" a female voice said, curious and shocked

"I don't know my dear," a voice, an older kinde voice answered her

"she must have come from one of the Torture chambers," a familiar voice said

'Simon' I thought

"S... Si... mon," I whispered

I heard a gasp and the sound of someone quickly approaching me as a small hand touched my back. My eye since my face was lying on the side, the throbbing side, noticed the boy that had become friend to me during the past years since I arrived in this hellhol

"N... No way," he said, as if he couldn't believe it was me he was seeing, "Lucy"

"You know here?" the old man's voice, Rob asked

"She is usually is me and Jellal when we work at the lower levels, though she wasn't there the past three days," Simon answered, "What have they done to her?"

"Go get me some bandages Erza," Grandpa Rob said, his voice sounding closer to me than before

"Y...Yes," the female voice from before said

'Erza?' That was the name that stood out for a second before I felt someone touching my body causing me to hiss in pain

"Forgive me," Rob's voice said, in a gentle tone, "But I will have to take care of your wounds"

"S' Okay," I managed to asnwer before losing consciousness where I lay

~~~~~~~~~~

The next time I became aware again, I was lying upon something causing me to open my eyes. I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds blinking before glancing to my side. A shock of red hair entered my vision along with two large curious eyes

The the eyes retreated before I got a good look at the girl in front of me... She was looking at me with a curious wonder upon her face. Then she gave me a smile

"You're finally awake," she said in a happy voice, clapping her hands together

I blinked at her, confused

"You were sleeping for the past five days," she continued, "Simon and Jella were worried about you... and even Grandpa Rob was getting worried when you didn't wake up. When you passed out, Simon thought that you died but Granpa Rob said that you were simply really tired"

"W... Where are...?" I started but suddenly coughed realizing how dry my lips were so I licked them

She realized what was happening quickly took hold of a small cup leaning it toward my face

"Here," she said, "It's some water that Grandpa Rob put out for you..."

With her help, I drank the entire cup dried letting the cool liquid flow through my thirsty throat. I sighed softly as I lied back down upon the groun and turned my attention toward her, who was putting the cup back onto the ground. She was dressed in a one piece dress which was ripped around her knees
