Lost Love

Sick

"i don't know but i have something i need you to look at," pulling me closer she faces the two of us away from the others.

"what is it?'

"this" pulling the side of her top down she shows me the tattoo now printed on her skin above her heart. "i noticed it this morning and ever since I've been feeling really weird" it was two circles interlaced, once circle is black and one is blue and the middle of the two is golden.

"wow, so it just appeared?" nodding she pulls her shirt back over her shoulders. "achoo!" turning away i sneeze into my arm. wiping my running nose on my jacket sleeve i sniffle.

"are you sick?" wiping my hair away Levy places the back of her hand against my forehead. jumping back at the coldness of her hand i shiver and pull my jumper tighter around myself.

"your colder then Rouge" placing her hands on her hips Levy gives me a disapproving look.

"that is not possible." we had this small joke that rouge was as cold as ice and that there was not anyone colder then him, it also went with that Sting was as hot as the sun. "Auma!" grabbing my arm she pulls us over to the three. "i think Lucy's sick"

"sick?" copying what Levy had just done Auma places a hand on my forehead and i shiver again. "hum yes you do seem to have a temperature."

"i'm fine" i mutter as Rouge's hand takes Aumas position.

"you are not fine"

"looks like you've caught a cold," Auma puts a hand on her chin "back inside"

"why?"

"you are being assigned to indoor book work for today while you recover." turning me around she pushes me back inside.

"What, i'm fine. i don't think i need to be assigned to book work" turning away from Auma i escape her grasp only to walk right into Stings chest.

"you are sick Lucy" he holds my shoulders. "and because you are sick you are going back inside" picking me up bridal style he carries me back inside.

"put me down!" i demand after a moment of surprise.

"yes Sting if you could please put Lucy down onto the couch and make sure that she doesn't run away?" Auma smiles sweetly before trotting into the house. Sting follows and i cross my arms in annoyance.

"here you go" placing me down onto the couch his breath tickles my bare neck causing me to shiver then flush red. "now just stay there and i wont be needing to do that again today" sitting up properly i glance towards the exit.

"i'm not that sick, just a little, achoo!, flu" wiping my nose i sniffle.

"yes well while your getting over, what ever this is, you will be inside doing book work" Auma walks out of her room carrying a armful of books. "here you go, i expect you to have read through half of them by the end of the day." placing them down onto the floor floor she grabs the blanket and throws it over my shoulders. "i will make you a warm drink so start reading. you three can go and warm up. i'll be out there in a minuet."

as they exit the room i pick up the top book and flip to the first page. sighing in defeat i curl up in the blanket and settle down for a long day of reading.

rubbing my eyes i groan. it was about lunch time and i had only just finished reading the first book. throwing it down next to the to read pile i pick up the next book and flip it open. automatically it opens to an already marked page.

"looks like Auma was already doing some reading" taking the bookmark out i my eyes catch on a small picture and instantly my interest is peaked. it's the same image as the tattoo that Levy had shown me this morning. looking on i begin the read.
