Take Me Home

Terror

The room that Lucy was in was dark and cold. She was shackled up to the wall by her ankles and wrists. She didn't know anything yet because she was still out cold. Lucy was trapped in her own mind. Abused by her own nightmare.

"No," she whispered. "No, no, no, no!"

She was struggling and shaking when she'd finished screaming. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"Natsu. Gray! Come back!" she yelled. "You can't be dead!"

In Lucy's head (this may be gruesome to some readers)
All Lucy could see was Gray lying on the ground with an iced lance pierced  through his chest, lying in a pool of his own blood. Then Lucy saw Natsu hanging, suspended by his scarf. His neck was bloody. Blood slowly soaked his scarf and dripped onto the floor. Lucy's hands were covered in blood. Both Natsu's and Gray's blood. She'd tried to save them before they were killed, and after, she tried to bring them back. She was too late. They were already dead. Lucy was alone. No one by her side in this time of sorrow. Then she heard a voice. "I can help you bring your friends back to life," the voice said. "You just have to help me. Give me the key of Leo, the lion."

"Even though I don't know how I'm going to live with myself after this, I'll never let you have one if my keys!" Lucy said angrily. "Besides, the dead should never be brought back to life!"

The voice paused before speaking. "Well then, I'll just have to force it away from you!" 

Lucy couldn't bare the madness. She yelled so loud that she woke herself up. She awoke with a sigh, knowing that what happened was just a dream. Though she knew this, she was still crying. Why would they want Loke? she thought over and over. The words filled her head. Lucy was so focused in why they wanted one of her keys that she didn't even realize she was in shackles. When she realized this, she could've cared less. All she cared about was that her friends were alive and well.

With Natsu and the others
"I wonder where Lucy is," Happy said.

"Maybe she's still sleeping at her place," replied Natsu. "We should go get her and tell her we found the perfect job and master's reaction."

"Aye," Happy said.

The two ran over to Lucy's place. When they got there, she wasn't in her bed. They decided to check her bathroom, but she wasn't there either. They finally decided that they would leave and tell the group that Lucy wasn't home. Happy and Natsu went out the window when Happy noticed something shiney on the ground in front of the front door.

"Hey, Natsu, what's that." Happy said pointing to the shiney thing.

"I don't know," Natsu said. "Let's check it out."

They went down to check it out. They found Lucy's gate keys.

Thanks so much for reading this, again. I appreciate it a lot. I will try to publish daily.
