The Valley of Fears

NIGHT TERRORS

Gajeel, Lily, Happy and Natsu searched that whole night until the sun came up. Erza took Lucy back to the hotel after they found her. She was in a state of hysteria and it took Erza hours to finally calm Lucy down. However, her struggles began again when Lucy fell asleep and started getting night terrors.

Now Erza was struggling to wake the screaming Lucy up. She looked absolutely terrified. It made Erza wonder what the dark guild did to her to make Lucy suffer from night terrors. She was only there for a few hours and she came back with night terrors. Once Erza finally woke Lucy up again it took her awhile to calm her down.

Erza scowled she had to let Master know what has happened.

"Are you okay Lucy?" Erza asked in a soft tone as she rubbed her arm comforting.

Lucy nodded as she wrapped her arms around herself while she looked down.

"I'm just going to go over to the table, you won't be alone." Erza said slowly so Lucy could hear, she went into a total panic each time Erza tried to leave.

She was afraid to be alone...

"It's fine, you can go Erza." Lucy said in a soft voice while Erza nodded.

Erza stood up from the bed and walked towards the communication lacrima that stood on the table while Lucy watched her walk over to the table and sit in the chair.

"Erza?" Lucy asked softly as she watched Erza pick up the communication lacrima.

"Yes, Lucy?" Erza asked as she looked at Lucy, not dialling the master yet.

"Where's Natsu?" Lucy asked looking at Erza.

"He's still looking for levy with Gajeel." Erza said with a sigh as she dialled the masters lacrima.

"Don't you think he'll still be asleep? It is like five o'clock in the morning..." Lucy asked, she was slowly starting to panic less and regain more of herself.

"He wakes up early in the mornings to get started on the paperwork the magic council sends him about the damage fairy tail causes and to order fairy tails financials and if he's asleep he keeps a communication lacrima with him for in case one of fairy tail's members gets in trouble." Erza said as the communication lacrima continued to ring.

"And I believe this incident is worth reporting to Master." Erza said as master finally picked up.

"Yes?" Master asked as he answered.

"Master, did I wake you?" Erza asked with an apologetic voice.

"No, I was ordering the complaints against Natsu's destruction." Master said with a sigh making Erza sweat drop and Lucy to chuckle nervously as she scratched her head and looked away.

"I see." Erza answered.

"Is there something wrong Erza?" Master asked, worry slipping into his voice.

"There is master... Levy was taken by a dark guild. We don't know the name yet~" Erza explained but stopped when Lucy said something softly.

"What was that, Lucy?" Erza asked turning her gaze to Lucy.

"I said the dark guild's name is Eisenwald. They took levy." Lucy said, louder this time so she could be heard.

"Eisenwald?" Erza asked surprised, they trashed that guild way back when Lucy was still a new member.

"How can that be? They were disbanded..." Master asked in disbelief.

"They're under new management. They also went into the slave industry." Lucy said shuddering at the memory of their master.
