The Opal Sphere

Lost Boy

Natsu's POV:
I was lost without her. I need to find her.
"Natsu come back to the guild" Happy moaned whilst flying behind me.
"I can't Happy I have to find Lucy" I replied

"You can't just find her by running around angrily, come back to guild I think Erza is coming up with a plan"
The points he made did sound convincing but I needed to get to the forest where Gray and Juvia got attacked.

"I'll return soon Happy, go tell them I'm at the forest where Gray and Juvia got attacked and I'll be back soon" The lies poured out my mouth, I wasn't going to return. I needed to find Lucy and no time could be wasted.

Erza's POV:

We couldn't just search for Lucy recklessly. We needed a plan. My eyes scanned the room. The guild wasn't destroyed only the entrance and a few tables near the door. No major casualties. Apart from Gray and Juvia, mainly Juvia who was bleeding a lot.

Beside me Mira was cleaning up smashed glass and Rogue and Sting were helping out. Frosch was playing with rubble whilst Lector was trying to make sure he didnt get hurt. I also noticed that Wendy had gone up to infirmary with Gray and Juvia, probably to make sure thye are okay. Wendy is such a caring person.

Natsu still hadn't returned neither had Happy. What if they got into danger? I should be thinking these thoughts. Natsu is one of the strongest mage's in Fiore so they should be fine.

I hope they return.

Juvia's words kept on ringing through my head 'They needed Celestial magic for that sphere person' it made more sense why the also got Yukino as well. Or is it just a coincidence that she went missing at the same time Lucy got kidnapped.

If what Juvia said was true this means that  Princess Hisui E.Fiore is in danger aswell.

"We have to warn the King that Hisui is in danger" Everyone's eyes suddenly turned on me.

"What do you mean Erza?" Levy said

"Juvia said that they are after Celestial mages right?" I was starting to tell them my thought and how all of this linked up. "Well if i am correct they too Yukino, because she is a Celestial Mage. Well now they too Lucy and she is a user of the same magic. So is Princess Hisui."

I think everyone understood my point, we needed t warn the princess fast before she gets hurt as well.

"I send the message to the castle. I hope nothing has happened to her" Levy then walked off to go and send a message to the castle.

"Natsu says he will be back soon" Happy then burst in, he sounded out of breath. " He told me to come and tell you while he went into the forest where Gray and Juvia got attacked"

"We should go after him, he could get himself hurt" Gajeel said. He didnt sound concerned, but the tone in voice sounded like he kind of wanted Natsu to get hurt so he could embrass himself.

"No he said not to" Happy landed on floor, still trying to catch his breath while he leaned on some rubble. "He said he didnt want anyone to come after him because he will be back soon"

"That means he's going after her" I said. I was pretty confident that was his plan.

Lucy's POV:

Screams echoed throughout the building i was in. I was still dark, darker than dark. I still couldn't see a thing.

I looked to my left and i saw a orangy-yellow orb, it wasn't close it was too far into the distance.

The Lacrima shone ever so slightly, the warm colours that beamed out of the lacrima reminded me of Natsu's fire. Only if i could see him again.

Natsu's POV:

All I knew was that I was running and that I could not stop. I'm so angry at myself for letting Lucy get captured once again. What if this time she actually dies? No i couldn't think thoughts like that. I had to stay positive.

I had been running though the forest for a awhile now looking to my side to trying to find the place where Gray and Juvia got attacked.

I stopped dead in my track. A thick scent stood right in front of me This is Gray and Juvia's smell.

To my left was a small cabin type cafe. This is where Gray and Juvia's smell lingered. When I entered a young girl was there cleaning up some glass.

Her hair was a pastel blue, it matched the interior quite well. It was also cropped toher shoulder and she had a short fringe that laid above her eyebrows. Her eyes were an emerald colour and they stared right at me.

"Please don't hurt me" she whimpered, she looked hurt and afraid.

"I'm not going to hurt you I just want to know who attacked my friends" I had to reassure, she still looked petrified.

"There was a man. I recognised him, he was from a dark guild.. I think" her voice stammered slightly. "I'm sorry"

"What are you apologising for ?" What a strange girl.

"For this"
I got a blow to the back of the head. And is was out cold.

Erza's POV:
Natsu still hasn't returned yet. I trusted him to return yet he hasn't.

"He should have been back by now, it's nightfall" Mira said. It was true the stars outside lit the city. It looked rather beautiful. We all probably would have appreciated it if we wasn't so distressed.

"What if he's ran into trouble?" Wendy's sweet voice joined into our conversation, she must have finished treating Juvia and Gray.

" If he has he would have sorted it out, he is a dragon slayer after all" Sting said a smirk lit his face up

"Don't be too confident we never know" my answer was sharp.

I hope he returns soon. We had just finished our plan. I then used my fork to get another mouthful of strawberry cake ready to eat.
