The Starry Night

NightMare Realm

Nobody's POV

"Every been to the NightMare Realm? I heard it has all your nightmare!" Lucy had snarled to Aamon, before saying goodbye to her brothers. Lucy was now seriously regretting it. Aamon had been killed by his very own sanity. He had snapped his neck and ended his own nightmare. Lucy had faced so many nightmares, she could feel her own sanity disappearing by the minute. She had faced nightmares so bad she couldn't believe her sanity was still intact. She could see a portal up ahead. 'I'm coming. I won't abandon my family.' Lucy whispered to herself. Suddenly darkness clouded her vision. 'Another nightmare! Please Kami! Help me.' Lucy prayed silently. 

Fairy Tail Guild

"Lucy isn't dead! She wouldn't give up that easily." Cobra said angrily. It had been 13 years since Lucy disappeared into the Realm. But one day in the Realm equaled one year in Earthland. "Give up Cobra. Just accept that she made a good sacrifice to save us all." Erza said gently hugging Cobra. "NO SHE AIN'T DEAD!!! I KNOW LULU AND SHE AIN'T DEAD!" Jellal joined in. "MY NEE-SAN NEVER GIVES UP! SHE WILL COME BACK TO US! I KNOW IT IN MY HEART!" Zeref cried. "Whatever. Let them wallow in their pity. They'll learn eventually that Lucy is gone." Gray said quietly. "She's isn't gone Ice Prick." Cobra said, his voice deathly level. "She's dead. No one has seen her in 13 years. That is too long for someone to be alive." Gray said, growing irritated. "I know she isn't dead I would know. I'm her mate." Cobra said evenly. "Whatever. You'll have to accept it one way or another." Gray said curtly. Suddenly there was a black circle that opened and a barely conscious Lucy fell through. "LUCY!!" Gray shouted as he caught Lucy. "Gr-gr-gray?" Lucy whispered before going unconscious. "WENDY!!! PORLYUSCIA!!!" Gray shouted. Wendy looked at Gray and covered her mouth. "lucy?" she whispered. "No time child. Help me heal Lucy." Porlyuscia said, determination filling her voice. "O-of course." Wendy said, healing Lucy. 

*LE TIME SKIP (BROUGHT TO YOU BY AUTHOR CHAN'S LAZINESS*

"Is she okay?" Zeref asked for the millionth time. "WE'LL LET YOU KNOW IF SHE'S OKAY!" a very exasperated Wendy exclaimed. "Okay." Zeref said, shrinking away. Wendy walked back to Lucy's bed where Lucy's eyes begun to flutter. "She's waking up if you want to see-" Porlyuscia didn't finish her sentence because Jellal and Zeref rushed into her room and stared at Lucy who just woke up. "LUCY!" they shouted. Blue Black... PAIN FEAR!!! Thoughts ran through Lucy's head as she screamed and disappeared into the guild. "Luce?" Natsu said, as she hid behind him shaking. "I'm ok, I'm fine." Lucy kept muttering. "Nee-San?" Zeref said, appearing next to Lucy. Lucy screamed bloody murder and disappeared behind Erza. "Lucy?" Erza whispered soothingly. But Erza was wearing blue gloves which caused Lucy's to go wide as she screamed and hid under a table, shaking in fear. "Lu-Chan. Please calm down." Levy tried, only to be met with Lucy curling up into a ball and shaking in fear. "Let me try." Mira said. "Lucy, please come out. It's okay." Mira said stroking Lucy's hair gently. Lucy relaxed a little a grabbed Mira's hand tentatively. Lucy was okay until she saw Gajeel's black hair. Lucy screamed and ran from the guild hall. 'Pain Fear.. Torture' ran through Lucy's mind. "What's with Lucy?" Natsu said, concern filling his voice.  "It seems Lucy was affected by the NightMare Realm." Cobra said. Lucy was running and running until she ran into Sting Eucliffe. "Hey Blondie, Watch it." he muttered. Her eyes held true fear as Sting looked at her. "Blondie you okay?" he asked. "I'm fine, I'm fine." Lucy kept muttering her eyes holding so much pain, so much fear. "Sting?" Rogue said appearing out of nowhere. Lucy stared wide-eyed at Rogue before stumbling backwards screaming loudly. "Miss Lucy?" Rogue said, his outstretched hand coming towards her. Lucy screamed and hid behind Sting, trembling in fear. "Luce??" Natsu worried voice rang out. "Oi Natsu over here!!" Sting's panicked voice rang. "Sting! Thank Kami you found Lucy! She's been traumatized." Natsu explained. "I noticed. Why is Lucy afraid of me?" Rogue said, gesturing to the trembling figure behind Sting. "Something happened after her battle. She fought this guy named Aamon and for 13 years she was stuck in the NightMare Realm. Something obviously happened for this to happen." Natsu explained. "The NightMare Realm?" Rogue asked, looking back at Lucy who still trembled. "Lucy?" Rogue tried to grab Lucys shoulder which resulted in Lucy looking at Rogue with true fear, screaming, before disappearing again. "Oh Jeez! I gotta find Luce! Wanna help me?" Natsu said, sighing. "Sure. Rogue, why don't you stay in the shadows, so Lucy doesn't scream and disappear again." Natsu said. Rogue nodded, feeling confused. 'Lucy was never afraid. What exactly happened 13 years ago?' Rogue thought. "I found her scent!" Natsu said, following his nose. 

*At SaberTooth's Guild*

Lucy appeared in the middle of Sabertooth shaking in fear. "LuLu?" Minerva said, questioning. Lucy screamed before hiding behind Rufus who said, "Memory Make: Slumber." as Lucy collapsed into his arms. The guild doors busted open to reveal Natsu, Sting, and Rogue who all saw the sleeping Lucy. Her face was contorted in pain, as she screamed in her sleep, her wails echoing off the guild walls. Natsu ran to her and hugged her, stroking her hair softly, shushing her wails. (Authors Note: KAWAII!!! >O<!!!!) "What happened to Miss Lucy?" Rufus asked Natsu. "She fought this dude named Aamon, and to save Fairy Tail, she took him to the NightMare Realm, where she was there for 13 years and now she's like this." Natsu explained. "She does not like the colors, black or blue." Natsu added. "That might explain why she screamed when she saw Rogue." Sting said, thoughtfully. "And that might explain when she screamed when she saw Mi'Lady." Orga added. "Rufus, can you use your magic and see what happened?" Minerva asked. "I can try Mi'Lady." Rufus said. "Oh, Luce what happened to you? What did you do to deserve this pain?" Natsu whispered quietly.
