When a fairy has fallen #wattys2015

NINETEEN

"That is troublesome" Master Makahov sighed as everyone in the guild pondered over this new information.

"But we can help her right? And stop Zeref while we're at it" Wendy said hopefully trying to lift the mood.

Master sighed running his hands through his hair frustrated. "From the information we've gathered, Lucy has been under this spell for a while. We may not be able to bring her back and even if we did she might not be the same Lucy." He looked up at his children with sadness in his eyes. "Besides we need to take consideration that she..... May not be under a spell."

Yells of protest and disbelief rang out through the guild. "Lucy would never do something like this at her own will" Gray sighed as the noise died down. "You never know" Levy sighed. "Some of us did do more than push" Her eyes zeroed on Natsu who shrunk into his seat guilt eating him alive.

"Enough" Erza called out. "We can't put the blame on Nastu when most of us are also at fault" She huffed at the guilty looks thrown around before turning towards Levy. "So what did you find?"

Levy sighed in relief as some tension left the room before gesturing towards many scrolls and books. "Many things, for one, did you know that the guardians are the actual dark spirits of the key not influenced by the dark essence from Acnologia?" Most stared a little confused.

"So it's the dark spirit... without the dark" Charla said understanding. "Exactly"

"What else did you find out?" Nastu asked hopeful the information can help with Lucy.

"Well..." Levy trailed of unsure if she should tell them. "The dark keys require a celestial wizard with a dark heart in order for everything to work" She caved while everything in Lucy's behavior came to sense.

'"That's why...." Levy nodded sighing "The more keys they have, the more they are influenced." Nastu's eyes widened in realization. 'Are we really not going to be able to save her?' Anger and sadness overcame him along with guilt.

"She already has all 12 keys" Erza sighed at the bitter truth.

"Actually there are 13 keys..." Levy said uncertainly as everyone froze. "13 keys?" Levy nodded in confirmation. "I don't understand?" Levy sighed. "Neither do I"

"I'm confused..." Nastu trailed off. "Lucy seemed so sure there are 12 keys, she planned this whole thing to get the rest."

"Which is also weird considering she could just get them as she did with the others...." Gray thought out loud.

Levy sighed. "That's because in order to free Acnologia, all 13 keys need to be gathered by the night of the Eclipse and it says in the book that a spell that acquires rare ingredients needs to be made to transport where he is imprisoned to begin the process." Levy paused. "As for the 13 keys, I don't think she knows about it. Zeref is probably keeping it from her for a reason- we may not like. I'm trying my best to find what the 13 key is but so far I've got nothing."

"Meaning she was racing time..." Erza snapped up. "Do you think they already have the ingredients or are still looking? After all Lucy actually came to us in order to get the rest of the keys which I doubt she would have willingly near us without a good reason... or revenge"

"I guess that means we still have time to stop her and save her and Lisanna." Nastu tried to get the mood up.

"Are we forgetting who were going up against here?" Gray growled punching the table making everyone jump as the noise echoed throughout the guild.

"Gray what the-"

"We are going against the oldest and most dangerous dark wizard in history. This is not only about Lucy because if worst comes to worst we might have to do what we have been trying to avoid to stop them from releasing acnologia" Reality struck as a gloomy atmosphere overcame the guild.

Even if Lucy has hurt them no one wants to hurt her. Or kill her. But if the situation gets out of hand....

"So when is this eclipse?" Master asked Levy. She sucked in a breath "In two days."

"Dammit" Nastu cursed out. "We've got to find the location where the spell will be cast." Erza spoke out while Levy smiled.

"That's easy, it's underground where all the twelve key's location meets." But then frowned. "We don't know the other locations of the other nine keys though." Master ran his hand through his hair.

"We'll just have to work with the three then. Get the map containing the three locations, we have work to do."

------ 2 days later

"Everything is ready Zeref-sama" Lucy kneeled before him before sending a death glare towards a battered Lisanna who was imprisoned inside a dark cage. Lucy smirked as she whimpered fear clear in her eyes not daring to breath.

Lisanna has tried talking sense into her Ex Nakama but lost hope immediately after her first 'session'. Lisanna was tortured beyond her own imagination these past three days. What really got to her was watching Lucy and Zeref get affectionate and the glint in his eyes that Lucy seemed to not notice blinded by....uh 'love'.

It frightens her even more that the wolf Daemon seems to be worried, on edge if you would say, especially when Zeref was near Lucy. She thought it was jalousie at first considering it was obvious to her the wolf had a thing for her but it seems more and it scares her. Not for herself but for Lucy. Whatever Zeref had planned for her must not be pleasant.

Sure she tortured her physically and mentally and is about to release one of the most dangerous creatures but she's only being driven by Zeref's influence and of course revenge........

Lisanna sighed hugging herself.

'Oh Nastu where are you. As much as I hate to say it, Lucy needs you' Lisanna looked away as Lucy and Zeref engaged in a make out session.
