Requiem For a Dream

*Chapter 2*

A/N: This is a slight rewrite

Please enjoy?

Natsu thought it was strange. She could smell the scent of Lucy, yet he couldn't. It was the first time he felt so unsure about his own sense of smell. He knew Lucy's pretty well, yet he can't seem to pinpoint the exact location.

He ran in the direction where the scent of Lucy was the strongest. 10 minutes later, he was on a cliff, overlooking the city of Magnolia. As confused as he was, he stared off into the horizon, trying to figure out what this means.

"As expected of Master." A voice called from behind.

Natsu turned with wide eyes. He didn't even smelled him! The owner of the voice emerged from the shadows, fully covered with his cloak.

"A friend, a dragon slayer to the rescue." The man smirked.

"Where's Lucy?!" Natsu roared.

The man brings out his hand, and Lucy's key could be seen. "Too bad for you, what you followed was the scent of Lucy's that still lingered on this key. We took the liberty of covering the scent of Lucy so you won't follow her."

Natsu never been so angry in his life. "You will tell me where she is. Or I will turn you to ashes."

"Sounds fun." The man laughed. "I would love to play with you. But I have matters to attend to. You may have this." The man throws the key in Natsu's direction, landing ungracefully at his feet.

Natsu picks the keys up and glares at the man. "Don't think I will let you go." He encased his fist in fire and lunged at the man.

Before he could get hit, the man disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Like I said. I would to stay and play. But I have matters to attend to." The man said, now on top of a branch.

Natsu turned coldly to where the man was. "Who the hell are you!?"

"For the sake of Zeref, we will do anything." The man declared before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Natsu lunged at him before he completely disappeared. "Damn it! I can't smell him anymore!" Natsu was angry now. He held the keys of the celestial spirits that belonged to Lucy close to his chest. He will find Lucy, he swore under his breath that he will find Lucy with the rest of the guild.

Now...how can Natsu deliver the news to Erza...?

...

Meanwhile, Lucy had just woken from a pain in her stomach. Regaining more of her bearings, Lucy finds that she was tied, with her hands behind her back.

She looks down, where her pain was the worst and sees her stomach bandaged across her stomach, completely soaked in blood. And she wondered what had happened.

She tried to move, but soon opted to stay still. It hurt too much to move. She started to look around for her keys, but couldn't find them.

"Glad to see that you're still alive." A voice boomed.

It was too dark for Lucy to see who the voice belonged to. "Who's there?"

"I'm Incas Noxx, and I'm your worst nightmare." The man in a low tone.

Lucy shivered. She really needed her keys right now.

"Just joking. You're worst nightmare will be that you will watch your friends die in front of you."

Lucy stared off to where the voice was coming from. "Where's my keys?"

"We gave them back to your friends. You don't need them anymore." Incas explained.

Lucy smiled inwardly, thinking how stupid they were. Natsu can track her down and save her, using the scent on my keys, along with Erza. Hopefully Erza isn't going on a rampage.

"We changed your smell, so your dragon slayer won't be able to find you." Incas added, knowing exactly what Lucy was thinking about.

Lucy paled. She wanted this man to be lying. Hopefully Natsu can pick up her scent and find her. But if this man is telling the truth, then she needed to find her own way out.

"Why do you need me for?" Lucy asked, staring off into the darkness, where Incas stood. "And show yourself!"

Incas complied and stepped forward where Lucy can see him. "Lucy Heartfilia. We will need your celestial magic to revive Zeref."

"Zeref? What does my celestial magic has anything to do with Zeref?"

"All in due time, Miss Lucy." Incas smiled.

Lucy clenched her jaw. "Let me go!"

Incas frowned at her attitude. "For now on, you will be working with us. Your Fairy Tail friends are not coming."

"They will." Lucy growled.

Incas smirked. "Well then. Let see how long you can keep believing in that so called 'hope'." With that, Incas turned, leaving Lucy by herself.

Lucy cursed under her breath. She need to get out of this place, back to her home, her friends, and her girlfriend.

...

When Erza had received the news, she tried to leave, tried to run to find where Lucy was, tried to ignore the throbbing pain throughout her body, tried to ignore the calls of her friends tried to ignore the fact that she was being held in place. She needed to find her, she must be scared, being tortured, and alone...she needed to save her...Then she felt something prick her skin before promptly blacking out into darkness.

Natsu caught Erza before she fell ungracefully unto the floor. "Geez, this woman. That hurt." Natsu rubbed his head where there was a large scratch when Erza was trying to push him away.

"Put her back on the bed." Mira instructed.

Natsu complied and laid Erza gently back on the bed. Mira moved Natsu away so she can tie Erza tightly to the bed so she won't try to leave again. "We need to get some magic repressor so Erza won't use her magic to escape." Mira said, talking to whoever was in the room.

Natsu, Happy, Wendy, Carla, and Gray stood in the room with a desperate look on their face, wishing that they were there to prevent Lucy from being kidnapped.

"I'm going to continue to look for Lucy." Natsu declared.

"I'm going with you." Gray volunteered.

"I'll stay and make sure Erza-Chan is fine." Wendy offered. She wanted to go with them and find Lucy. But she would only be in the way, she believed that it was her fault that Lucy was kidnapped...if only she was not unconscious at the time.

Natsu, Happy, and Gray ran out of the room, in hopes of finding Lucy.

...

When Erza woke up again, she found herself to be tied to a bed, restricting her from moving.

"You're awake."

Erza turned and sees Mira standing near her with a fake smile, she knew that it was a fake smile. She had known Mira long enough to know it was a fake smile.

"Mira, Let me go this instance." Erza demanded.

"You're injured. You cannot leave. Doctor's orders. Natsu, Happy, and Gray are looking for them as we speak."

Erza clenched her jaws. "Knowing them, they will start fighting and forget their objective."

"Perhaps. But they have a common goal. I'm sure that they will work together to find Lucy." Mira hoped that she was right, hoped that the boys will not forget.

Erza sighed. "Fine. Can you release me now?"

Mira smiled with pity. "I'm afraid that I can't." Mira soon left the room before screams was all that could be heard.
