Secrets and Sacrifices(NaLu Fanfiction)

Chapter 17

***Hey people...

I'm not really in the mood to write anything but I want to give you people an update.

Shit happened and I need some support.

======================================================

Silence.

Something that you would think impossible for a guild as rambunctious as Fairytail.

Each sat on their own stools and table, seemingly lost in their own whirlwind of thoughts, thinking of what they could do.

With all the stillness, one with a burning heart fueled by desperation and anger, stood from his seat forcefully that the chair toppled backwards with a loud crash, startling the guild out of its reverie.

"I'm going out! I'll find her on my own!" He was a few steps away from his original place when an elderly yet commanding voice boomed, halting his steps.

"Natsu! Calm down and think. Sit and we'll think of a plan." Natsu gritted his teeth and fisted his hands, reluctant to obey the old man for he wanted...no...needed to find her.

Resuming his seat, Erza gave him a pointed look to warn him to listen and behave himself which made him cringe in fear. Gray scowled at nothing in particular while Levy and Wendy both had despaired looks on their faces.

"Now, that we're all settled. Anyone have ideas?" Master Makarov stood in the center of the table, giving him the spotlight of attention.

"Maybe we should check the place Lucy and I first saw him?" Lissana, who was in between her siblings, staying close to Mira, spoke in a hoarse voice. I mean, who wouldn't have a hoarse voice when you spent an hour and a half crying your eyes out?

The old man pondered at the thought, his brows furrowing in concentration, making his weathered face wrinkle at the edges of his eyes and forehead.

A bright light surrounded the room. All gasped and shielded their eyes until the light subsided into nothingness.

There stood man with auburn hair, cat ears, glasses and dressed in a suit.

"Loke!?"

"We need help," was all the celestial spirit said. He noticed the bewildered look his former guildmates were giving and sighed in annoyance. "I can force open my gate when I want to but I need your help right now. Lucy is in danger. I know where she is."

"WHERE?!" The dragon slayer, Natsu, didn't pay attention to all else except when Lucy's name popped out in the open.

"Lissana was right. In the mountains beside that town is a shrine. Where, currently, Lovino and Lucy are residing." Loke simply explained.

"How did you know of this Loke?" With narrowed eyes, Erza asked the mage, curious and suspicious.

To this, the Leo smirked, his glasses reflecting the light that it shined and covered his eyes.

"Because I was the one who took her."Black energy engulfed his form. Startling the guild and rendering them off-guard. Many backed away, fear inching its way into the depths of their very souls.

"What the hell is this Loke?!" Gray inquired through gritted teeth as his magic began to make the area chilly.

"That's not Loke!" Scowling, tge Titania requiped to her Thunder Empress armor, ready for battle.

"Bingo! You won the prize!" The man in the shadows sang in a sickening sweet tone as she emerged. And behold, the man who caused the blonde endless tortures and nightmares, stood in the midst of the guild, smirking darkly.
