Levy was smiling as she walked through the streets of magnolia, her dress bouncing up and down.

She was on her way to Lucy, since Lucy had been on a bad mood yesterday, she hoped that shopping books would bring the celestial mage's spirit back to it's normal state.
She stopped in front of Lucy's house and walked inside, walking up the stairs before stopping outside Lucy's apartment.
Levy's smile widened at the thought of seeing her best friend smile again and she knocked.
She frowned though when no one opened so she knocked again.
Slowly her smile faded as she continued to knock.
"Lu-chan?" Levy called out, placing her ear by the door but no answer was heard. "Lu-chan?!"
Levy was slowly growing anxious, she would have opened by now.
"Lu-chan? You in there?!"
No answer.

''Levy?''

Levy turned around and met the eyes of the landlady. the landlady was wearing her usual atire and she was staring at Levy like she would rather have another person there and not Levy.
''Oh! Landlady!'' Levy exclaimed, and then a smile appeared on her lips. '' Is Luc-''

''Oh yes!'' The Landlady exclaimed, interrupting Levy '' Levy, about Lucy, do you know where she is?''

Levy's smile faltered.

''What?''

''Well, she was supposed to pay yesterday. She told me she was just going to pay a visit somewhere and that she would pay when she came back. She didn't though.'' The Landlady explained, making Levy's eyes widen.

''Oh...no.'' Levy choked out.

''Something wrong?'' The Landlady asked.

Levy laughed awkwardly and shook her head.

''No...No...I must go. I'll tell Lucy as soon as I see her.''

''Good, please don't rush her about it. She looked tired as all hell yesterday.''

Her heart dropped and she turned around and ran for the guild.
She ran and ran, not stopping until she stood outside the guild doors and she slammed them open, her ears picking up the normal rowdy noise from her friends.
"Natsu! Is Natsu here?" Levy scream, running inside.
The guild stopped talking and looked towards her, confused and shocked at her sudden outburst.
Natsu stood up, a frown on his face and Happy landing on his shoulder.
"Yeah, what'cha want?" Natsu asked, narrowing his left eye.
Levy stared at him, her face glowing with panic.
The mere sight of her, brought the guild down.
What had happened that created this worry in their friend's mind.
" It's Lucy." Levy started and Natsu's face fell. "She is missing."
Natsu's face paled and he stalked over at a Levy, his teammates shooting up from theirs seats.
"What?!" Natsu roared , stopping In front of Levy.
"Lu-Lucy didn't open her door when I knocked, I tried and tried but she didn't answer. Something is wrong. She-I think she is missing." Levy said, on the verg of crying.
Natsu clenched his fist and his jaw tightened.
He ran pass her and out through the guild doors, followed by Happy screaming his name.
Makarov glanced at them and Erza turned around, giving him a pleading look.
Makarov nodded and Erza, together with Gray, Gajeel,Juvia,Wendy, Charle and Levy, ran after him, leaving the guild stunned and worried for their dear friend.
" You were right, Lisanna, it is too late." Cana said, not showing any sign of happiness.
"He will realize it too late." Lisanna said, mimicking Gray's words.

******

Natsu didn't stop running until he stood outside Lucy's apartment door.
He held a stern expression and he knocked with his fist.
"Luce? Open the door."
No answer.
He sniffed, and Levy was indeed right, her scent was fainth.
He clenched his fists and when he heard his friends footsteps, he kicked the door open.
He walked in with firm footsteps and the scent was even fainter in the room.
"Natsu!" Happy screamed as he flew inside the room, stopping Adruply at the made bed and closed windows.
Natsu could feel something stir inside him. Fear? Sadness? Anger?
He then felt an uncontrollable rage. He took a few firm steps towards the night stand next to the bed and slammed it into the wall, not caring that he was destroying that poor celestial mage's house.
"Dammit!" Natsu roared and pushed a table to the floor, followed by the chairs.
Painful noises emerged from his mouth, noises he didn't even know existed.
He stopped when he didn't feel the rage anymore and he slammed his fist in the wall.
His friends stopped by the door opening, one after one, walking inside the room with shocked expressions.
"Damnit!" He roared. "Damn it all to hell!"
"Natsu.."Wendy muttered in sadness and Happy's lips fell down into a rainbow shaped bow.
Juvia hugged herself and Erza walked further into the living room, looking around for a clue where the celestial Mage had gone.
"Do you smell-" Levy began with sadness in her voice.
"No. It's only her smell." Wendy replied before Levy had the chance of finishing her sentence.
That reply made Levy sigh out in relief but Gajeel broke the happiness.
"She could have been kidnapped elsewhere." Gajeel replied and Charle couldn't shake off the bad feeling.
No she wasn't kidnapped, but something els might have happened. Like falling off a cliff and being crushed by rocks.
"If she was, it's too late to know now, her scent is almost gone." Natsu muttered.
Wendy looked down on the floor but gasped as she saw something laying on the floor.
Gray laid his eyes on her when Wendy walked up towards the drawer, kneeling.
Erza joined her and Levy tried to get a better look, from where she was standing, on what Wendy found.
Wendy picked up something that was showing from a drawer in the nightstand and she stood up.
"Wherever she is, we must find her fast before something happens." Wendy said and looked at them.
Juvia shifted from foot to foot, afraid on what Wendy was talking about and every face in that room paled as Wendy held up a pair of golden and silver keys.
"Her keys!" Levy exclaimed in horror and Natsu stared at them as if he had seen a ghost.
"She-she left them behind?!" Juvia stuttered as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Mhm." Charle muttered and Natsu clenched his fists.
"I have an idea." Erza suddenly said.
Everyone turned towards her with surprised expressions.
"You have?" Happy asked her.
"Yes, if she left them, then they must know where she went. She wouldn't leave them without telling them."
Wendy's eyes widened.
"Bu-But no one in fairy tail is a celestial Mage except Lucy." Levy told them. "We don't have any celestial spirits to ask."
Gajeel took a step forward and looked at Erza, understanding exactly were she was getting at.
"But we do know one."
