THIRD PERSON POV

The Fairy Tail members did research. Books were scattered in the floor, the scent of dust and smoke lingering in the small library. They were the only ones there, the library only contained historical facts and not more than that. The group was split in half, the first half was to investigate facts about Ortus and the other one had to research about Lucy's last moments in Magnolia.

Three days after, Lucy didn't return. Two more days and they would commence the operation. But why? Why would they want chase after Lucy? Was it because they didn't trust her? Or was it because the request paper was bounded by magic? Perhaps, it was the feeling in which you have to save someone and the feeling where everyone should be together. Twenty mages gone in a century was far more frightening than surprising.

———————————-

DAY FIVE (number of days staying in Ortus)

"For the basic of assassination, you should always face your opponent with a smile." Lucy started her lesson right after her approval of joining the boat of assassinators.

The reason was simple; she didn't want to be pulled back and be left on her standing. She wants catch up to everyone even if she will throw away her pride as a mage.

"You mean a killer smile?" She mockingly laugh after. She was holding a 12-inch pocket knife. As a beginner, she started "assassinating" animals and vulcans. At first, she hesitated until she got used to it. She thought about her spirits would react about this, but they just have to cope up to it.

"Yep, not only a normal smile. It should contain bloodlust." He returned a contorted smile. Not only a normal one, but yes, it contained bloodlust. Lucy felt nothing but fear, how could a singe smile cause someone to fret in fear? She also realised something, there was a dark aura and snakes that encompass him.

"W-what is this feeling?" Lucy cowered in fear. She felt nothing but pure fear that surrounded her whole body until the smile dispersed. Although after, she was curious. She wanted to have that simple power.

"It's called bloodlust. To achieve it, you must undergo stress therapy called 'Cold Turkey'. Lucy-chan, Cold Turkey is one of the worst therapies you could undergo. Since we only have a week till the strike of the spies, this is the only way you could achieve it." Xenos furrowed his brows. He didn't want to hurt Lucy in the process, but as the saying goes, "No pain, no gain".

(A/N In the real world, Cold Turkey is a method that is used in Rehab Centers in the Philippines. It is where people are stripped off of their clothes and would be in a very tiny prison. Inside the prison, it is where you will eat, poop and do everything. They get food from the care takers throwing into the small hole in the cell. At the end of their Rehab, their cell is covered with maggots and some gross stuff. They are then hosed with a fireman's hose. This is based on real life and I am not lying. So, don't do drugs kids.)

"H-how bad is it?" Lucy murmured. Her voice was so low that you can barely hear it.

"Don't sweat it kid. All you have to do is watch and answer some questions. After that, you'll feel like someone brand new. I promise, I was experienced it first hand." Tasha appeared while smoking. She was like the daughter of the Master, cold yet very nice.

(A/N Just think that Tasha is like Anne Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist)

—————————-

Two more days till rescuing Lucy. Was there a chance that she might return?

"Everyone! Look at this1 I know I'm not suppose to read her letters to her mom and such, but this one was left in her desk." Wendy came back from Lucy's house to investigate She found a letter about her and them.

"A letter? Can we read it?"

It said:

June 30, X785 (Not sure)

Dear Mother,

Today was a bit depressing. It was probably because I was left out and left behind by my friends. Alright, I won't lie. What's good about lying to the dead anyway?

Tomorrow would be my second birthday in Fairy Tail. I do hope they remember it. Although, I don't think they will. Mira said that they went to a mission with Lisanna. Yeah, I'm jealous of her. It's just that she and Natsu had a relationship when they were young. It's alright to be jealous, right?

To break off the ice, I decided to go a job in Ortus City, crazy right? Ortus was known for mage disappearance for the last century. Remember when you said we would visit Ortus sometimes since Andromeda Temple is there? Well, I'm going there.

I know I'm not strong enough to take the job myself, but I would prove to everyone that I have guts and so that they won't underestimate a celestial mage.

So, this might be my last letter to you. This is what they call a Testament letter, right? Although, I have no one to trust. No one for the mean time. I really hope those goons don't read this letter. I love you mom, I really do. I promise I'll write a letter in Ortus. I'll also find out why this mages were gone missing. If I go missing, I'm sure it's for good cause. See you soon.

Love Lucy

"So she deliberately went there, knowing the danger." Charles blurted out, causing her to sigh in frustration.

—————————————-

Lucy entered an eerie room. It was like a parallel universe to an asylum. Some furniture started rotting and the stench lingered in her nostrils, making her fret back.

"Are you sure this is the right room?" Lucy asked in steady motion. Xenos nodded in return.

This is a killer's lesson anyway

After some time, a man about his 50s entered the room. His muscular built was entirely large; like it was stuffed in bricks.

(A/N For reference, he looks like Scar from FMA without the scar)

"Lucy-chan, this is Jugo. He will be in charge of your stress therapy. He's a famous executioner." Xenos once again showed his contorted and twisted smile. Jugo smiled and waved to Lucy.

She noticed that Jugo was holding chains, whips and handcuffs. Her entire mind was going wild. She wanted to escape the room and escape to the wild. She then remembered her job in Andromeda Temple.

"Lucy-chan, one more thing, your keys please. Knowing you, a spirit may just come out in and kill me."

Lucy nodded and handed her keys to them. She was just too frightened to think. Xenos got the key much and put it at his pocket.

"Sayonara Lucy-chan, see you soon. Let the show begin!" Xenos smiled and left the room with a loud bang.

The show is about to begin.

Oh, it's just me, myself and I. Solo ride until I die, cause I got me for life. Oh I don't need a hand to hold, even when the night is cold. I got that fire in my soul
