Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter | One

01|  FAIRY TAIL

Wendy Marvell and her white exceed, Carla, were the first members of Fairy Tail Natsu and Happy had managed to find in their own personal mission to revive the Fairy Tail guild. The two had been part of Lamia Scale, who then pieced together what had happened when Natsu and Happy had left. She told them no one knew they had gone to train, that Lucy hadn't said anything when Master Makarov disband the guild.

"No one really knew why he did what he did, but at the same time no one argued his choice." Wendy had told him. "Everyone had suddenly went their separate ways, probably for the best to comprehend what happened in battle and sort out through their own losses."

It made sense, Natsu knew he didn't exactly have the right to judge or get completely upset because it was the same exact thing he did for the past year. He left without a word, just a note to his celestial mage and was gone. Telling Wendy about Happy and his plan to bring the guild back together, had made the sky dragon slayer a bit emotional about leaving the guild who took her in when she had no one else.

Yet after an emotional talk with her sky sister,  Cheila, Wendy made the choice to go and help bring her family back together with Carla and said her temporary goodbyes to the members of Lamia Scale she had come to enjoy the presence of.

The four then embarked on a journey to find Lucy, who Wendy had the address of due to the fact they had sent letters back and forth every now and then. Only Wendy had admitted to the fact that Lucy hadn't responded back in a while and wasn't even sure if Lucy was even still at that address in the heart of Crocus.

Natsu and company were then led to an apartment complex that was empty. Getting into Lucy's new apartment had been easy enough, but both dragon slayers could tell it had been a while since Lucy had actually been in her own apartment with the lack of a strong scent. In fact, her sent was faded on the furniture and living area.

It hadn't kept the fire dragon slayer from snooping through Lucy's belongings to look for clue to where she could have possibly went, despite Wendy's attempts to stop him before she caved to help her fellow dragon slayer with Happy and Carla.

"Natsu." Wendy called from the room Natsu could tell had been Lucy's, it was the strongest point of the house that carried her faded scent.

Looking around the room, Natsu wasn't surprised to find it nearly immaculately clean. Even in Magnolia she had been nagging about how their team always made a mess and to clean up, although over time she gave up trying to make that happen when they were around. With how neat the bed was made and the layer of dust coating the furniture, it was clear Lucy had not been home for a while now.

Which unsettled both dragon slayers. 

Shifting his onyx eyes towards where Wendy stood, his gaze fell onto the wall the air dragon slayer was looking over. Slowly his eyes widen, seeing the red lines and article clippings next to pictures of their guild members- even his own picture with Happy. 

"She was tracking everyone she could from the guild." Carla spoke up, looking over the little sticky notes that littered the wall. "Latest sightings and what they were doing. They date back three months ago."

"Three months ago." Wendy muttered, letting her finger trace the picture of her and Carla marked down at Lamia Scale. "She put so much time in tracking us. Do you think she went to track more?"

Carla glanced at Wendy and then back at the wall, "No child, she got these notes from articles. Didn't you say Lucy mentioned she now worked for Sorcerer Weekly?"
