Chapter 1: Lucy where are you?

A/N: Oh good god... This is my first Fairy tail Fanfic so go easy on me kay? But constructive critisism is very welcome! Sorry for bad grammar... Too lazy to proofread this thing XP Well, enjoy!

Everything was peaceful in Magnolia as everything was just like normal, especially in the guild known as Fairy Tail in the middle of the grand city. Natsu was as usual fighting with gray over some stupid reason, and soon the entire guild was engulfed in the showdown, and Mirajane stood on the sideline cheering for everyone. When Erza had broken Natsu and Gray apart, Natsu noticed that something was missing... But he didn't know what... So he took a look around the guild and quickly found out what was missing, Lucy. His teammate and one of his best friends, she was not in the guild, which was strange, since she was almost always there, laughing and crying with everyone. So he set out to the only other place she could possibly be, her house.

As usual he didn't bother using the door and so he had his partner Happy carry him up to her window, which he opened with ease and crawled in. He took a quick glance around the room, lucy wasn't here. He searched the rest of her apartment, but there was no sign of her. Natsu was starting to get worried, but then he realized there was one more place Lucy could be... The library, that's the thing about Lucy, she LOVES books. She was even writing a novel, but she would never let him read it... Something about it being unfinished and she had promised Levy or something...

And so he headed for the library, and much to his surprise, she wasn't there either! Ok, Natsu was starting to get really worried, he tried thinking about other places she might be when something tugged at his sleeve, he looked down, spotting a very sad Happy, his eyes were brimmed with tears "Natsu, is Lucy gone?" he mewled softly, obviously worried about their companion. Natsu shook his head and grinned, trying to calm the small blue cat down, even though he was just as worried as Happy was he said "I'm sure she's around here somewhere! Lucy would never leave!" or at least he hoped she wouldn't... When he couldn't find her or her scent anywhere he decided to head back to the guild, his worry only growing as there was no sign of Lucy anywhere...

The moon was slowly rising as the train arrived at Magnolia station, Lucy quickly got off, carrying a lot of bags in her hands, in fact she was carrying so much her arms got tired from walking the short distance to her house, but she smiled contently to herself, apparently happy with whatever she had brought. When she had finally gotten up the stairs and managed to put the bags beside her bed, she immediately dreaded the next day's arrival. Since then she would have to carry the bags all the way to the guild. The other's were probably worried- Never mind, they were probably so busy fighting they didn't even notice she was gone in the first place! And so she contently went to sleep, tired after the long day.

Natsu was sitting at his usual table in the guild, still no sign of Lucy... Where was she? The rest of the guild was worried too... He wanted to get up and search for her again, but he could faintly catch a familliar scent that slowly got closer and closer until the door to Fairy tail went up and Lucy walked in, a look of strain on her face. Her hands full of bags with something that smelled good. Everyone's eyes landed on her, and at the same time they all got up practically flinging ourself at her shouting "Lucy! You're home! You're home!" which seemed to surprise her as the entire guild fell to the ground in a heap of arms and legs. She smiled at us "Was i gone for that long?" everyone shouted a big Yes! some were even crying. Lucy apologized and laughed, getting up and putting her bags at a nearby table. She opened the bag, softly smiling as she picked up something that reminded Natsu of an apple, only it was rainbow colored and smelled divine. "Romla apples!" she grinned "They only grow in the Romla region, a family friend lets me take as many as i want each and every time they grow!" she grinned, and then continued "And so i thought i would share some with the guild!" she handed each and everyone two or three each and everyone began eating.

Natsu looked at the Romla apple, before taking a bite. It seemed to melt on his tongue, tasting like a mixture of freshly picked fruit and something else... But it was absolutely delicious, everyone enjoyed them and everyone had fun. Erza had to scold Lucy though, telling her to never go away like that without telling her first. "But i wanted to surpirse everyone..." she whined, Natsu grinned "Yeah, you did... And so by scaring us shitless... I couldn't find you anywhere..." Lucy looked down to the ground, guilt filling her face. Natsu smiled and patted her shoulder "I'll forgive you, if you buy me dinner..." Lucy lit up, smiling back at Natsu "How about i make you dinner?" Natsu didn't even hesitate with his answer "Even better! Now lets go!" Natsu pulled Lucy out of the guild "Natsu!" Lucy started "I have to buy ingredients!" Natsu stopped, turning around and grinned "Even more reason to hurry! Come on Lucy! I'm starting to get reaaal hungry here!" Natsu whined. Lucy gave a small laugh "You just ate idiot!" she chuckled, Natsu pouted "Two or three apples ain't gonna make me full, so hurry up cook!" he cheered, Lucy sighed "Even so... You have to give me some time to prepare!" Natsu smiled in defeat "Fine..." he muttered.

Natsu was waiting patiently for his food, he could smell something good all the way from the kitchen. Soon after, Lucy returned with a pot full of boiling soup "Hope you like it!" she said. She took some in a bowl an handed it to Natsu and a little for Happy, Natsu picked up the spoon and nearly poured half the bowl in to his mouth at once "Holy cow! This is delicious!" he said, diving face first in to the bowl, "AYE!" happy chimed. When Natsu was finished he handed the bowl to Lucy "Seconds please!" he reminder her more of a child really, food covering half his face. Lucy smiled "Sure thing!". After another five bowls Natsu was stuffed, he thanked Lucy for the meal and headed home, but as soon as he left Lucy's house, he got a sickening feeling, like something was wrong, he figured it was just from eating too much, and walked home, Happy hovering by his side.

But as Natsu lay his sleepy tired head on his soft welcoming pillow, a stinging feeling filled his entire body, and he didn't like it. Something was wrong, but he didn't know what. But the more he thought of what it may be, the sleepier he got, and soon enough he fell asleep, with Happy snoring loudly in a smaller bed beside his. Unaware of the threat that was slowly creeping towards one of the things he held the dearest.

Lucy was sleeping uneasily, she groaned, and turned.

Everything was black... Nothing but darkness surrouning her... There were voices, whispering to her, calling her, dragging her down into the cold nothingness... The cold feeling of despair was slowly filling her, until all of the voices were shut out by the surrounding darkness, and then, there was a small, cold light. "I found you..." A dark, bonechilling voice echoed in the darkness, making a shiver run up her spine. A picture was shown to her, filled with the ruins of a place time had long forgotten. A heart wrenching scream cut through the darkness like a sharpened sword through flesh and bones, the voice was familliar, but she couldn't place it. Another picture was shown to her, it looked like a key, but it was rusty and old, as if it would fall apart if anyone would touch it, the disturbing part about this picture, was the bloodied hand clenching the key like a lifeline.

Lucy's eyes shot open and she gasped, what the hell was that? A nightmare? A vision? But only Carla got visions of the future! Lucy sighed, probably just a bad dream then... "Lucy..." a small voice called out, she stiffened, trying to make something out of the darkness in her room. The moonlight illuminated parts of it, but not enough to see more than a hand infront of her. "Lucy!" the voice called again, no... There was more than one voice, she was sure of it. She should have been scared, but the voices didn't at all sound threatening, they sounded worried... And familliar...

"LUCY!? Are you there? Are you allright!?" she could clearly make out the voices now... And a smile found it's way to her lips...
