"All right losers get out of here before I throw you out. Don't forget to study for the final 2 days from now, we won't be seeing each other tomorrow. So don't bother me!" He shouted the last part as we were all leaving. Professor Scorpio isn't know for being friendly, he's cool but not that friendly. It's the second semester of my 3rd year at CU and it's hell, no one told me I'd have thousands of presentations and only 2 days to prepare or even tests that pop up from nowhere. Natsu and I haven't talked in a month mostly because of all of my work and studying. I miss him obviously and I still make dinners for him when I have time we just can't really talk, I also quit the cafe this year because everyone told me to focus on my studying but I plan to work over the summer. We have two weeks before summer and all these finals are piling up, 'Why didn't I drop one of my majors, it wasn't necessary' 'I just want to die.' I'm just glad this was the last class today and I only have one tomorrow even though it's 3 hours. I looked at my watch, and yes it's my watch from 3 years ago, Natsu buys me stuff and I buy him stuff but I really like this watch, it has our anniversary engraved on it. *Ring-Ring* I pulled out my phone and found a text from Erza.

Hey Lucy I have finals tomorrow, can we meet up with a group of people to study? -Erza

Yeah, no problem I need to study too. -Lucy

Ok thanks, these classes are killing me, see you around 5 -Erza

It was only 3 so I had enough time to go home and nap because I want to cry from all this work. I got in my baby-blue, 2007 Ford Mustang and made my way home, and without falling asleep at the wheel. I parked in the driveway and got out to head into my precious home, and precious pup and to my one and only true love, my bed. 'Of course I love Natsu and he's wonderful and all but I've been with this bed more years than me and him' 'Speaking of which, our anniversary is soon' 'I'll check when I wake up.' I took off my watch and tossed the blankets over me and drifted into oblivion.

*Bizz-Bizz**Ping-ping* I woke up to someone calling me and texting me repeatedly. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and stretched while sitting up. I squinted to see the time on the alarm clock at my side table, 5:56pm, 'Hm, wasn't there something planned today?' 'OH SHIT!!' 'The study group, Erza's going to kill me for being late.' I pulled the covers back and jumped out of bed and slipped a pair to black TOM's on and grabbed my keys, phone and bag of notes and books. I sent Erza a text that said I was sorry and on my way, and since the study group was at a friends house a couple streets over I was just going to walk. One reason why I loved late Spring and Early summer was because of the sun it was never dark until around 7:00 so it always seems daytime.

I was rounding a corner that had a convenience story on one side of the street and a little bookstore across the way. As I passed by a single dark alleyway, I heard some noises come from deep in the dark and I started to speed walk not looking back to see if anything came out or not. I turned on to the next street and a man jumped out in front of me, I went to scream and he put his hand on my mouth and the other around my waist and dragged me into another alleyway. I was kicking and struggling to get out of his grasp but he was just a bit stronger than I was.

"This her boss? The girl you were talking about." The man holding me captive asked another dark figure in the back of the alley.

"Yeah how'd you catch her?" Another voice came, most likely from the figure in the back, but the voice sounded strangely familiar, but I couldn't place it.
