The Power of Emotion**On Hold**

Haku

"You do!?" Natsu exclaimed Lucy nodded and continued.

"Kiona gave me the knowledge once I woke up.. The Dark Guilds are coming together as one. The dark guild Defabilo is the leader of them all he plans on using the bracelet to wipe out all of the Official Guilds. There is this Machine East of Magnolia in the city of Haku."

"That's about 3 hours away" Gray interrupted.

"Yep! Well anyway there's a machine that the bracelet is going to be hooked up too once we find it we need to unhook the bracelet then destroy the machine." Lucy sucked in another breathe "We need to make sure we remove the bracelet first or things could go wrong.." Everyone just nodded there heads new information processing in there heads but Natsu had his same blank expression.

"Eh Luce, can you explain that again?"

Everyone groaned then laughed.

"Lucy-nee!" Bre shouted tuggin Lucy's arm as they went down the street toward her apartment. "Hurry upppp" Bre dragged out her words. Lucy felt drained again but with Bre constantly tugging her arm she didn't notice it.

"Ughn I'm coming I'm coming" Lucy said once they arrived home, Lucy made sure Bre ate and got her in her pajamas then took care of herself. The guilt piled on top of her a huge amass that wouldn't go away. She lied to her friends. She didn't want to tell them that she might would have to kill herself. They would flip. Exhausted, She flopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling getting lost in her thoughts.

"Lucy" Kiona spoke out.

"Oi, I'm here Kiona" Lucy replied

"Lucy! You didn't tell your friends the most important part!"

"I know I'm sorry I just couldn't Kiona they wouldn't let the entire mission happen"

"Hmph what time are you leaving?"

"8am Bres coming with because she refuses to stay at the guild."

"Children.. We'll anyway I have great news!" Kiona exclaimed excitedly.

"What is it?" Lucy murmured.

"You can still use the four powers of emotions! Since the magic was latched onto your magic I managed to make it work even without the bracelet but same rules apply: You get one week to retrieve the bracelet or else all your magic will run out! So not a second late you got it missy!"

Lucy chuckled "Yes Ma'am!"

Lucy shot her eyes open and looked at the alarm clock. 7:30am. Shit. Bre was already awake rubbing her eyes still trying to shake off the morning when she saw Lucy rummaging through clothes while brushing her hair out. "Lucy-nee is it time to go?" Bre asked Lucy just nodded and waved her off. Bre jumped up excited for the mission she got dressed washed her face and brushed her teeth then got something to eat. Lucy was racing downstairs two suitcases in her one of her hands and grabbed Bres arm running out the door.

"We're here!" Lucy shouted.

Gray,Erza,Gajeel,Levy,Lily,Carla, and Wendy were already here.

"Where's Natsu?" Lucy asked everyone pointed to the hill in the distance. A blue exceed carrying a Pink haired dragon slayer were rushing over. Lucy mentally face palmed as the train came. Natsu and Happy finally arrived as everyone was boarding the train. Once it started moving Natsu and Gajeel instantly got motion sickness.

"So we have to listen to these two idiots whine for three hours?" Gray asked Erza. Erza shrugged and continued reading her magazine. Natsu and Gajeel gave a dirty look but then groaned again the motion sickness worsening.

Lucy was lost in thought. She was terrified actually. She didn't want it to come down to her having to kill herself. But she also didn't want all the official guilds to die out. She played with Natsu's pink messy hair trying to soothe him he eventually fell asleep which relieved Lucy, Natsu's head was placed in her lap he drooled all over her legs. Bre was on her other side sleeping on her shoulder. Lucy smiled One happy family.

They were now in the town of Haku. Haku wasn't the nicest city. The city people didn't really welcome new people too there town they thought of them as 'Outsiders'. But eventually they found a hotel that they weren't shunned from. Erza planned out the sleeping arrangements. Gray Erza and Wendy Plus Carla, Levy and Gajeel plus Lily, Natsu Lucy and Bre plus Happy. Arriving at her room Lucy let out a long sigh and landed on the bed. She knew she needed to ask where the machine was but she didn't know how. As on cue she started drifting asleep and hearing the sound of Kiona's voice.

Natsu turned his back for one second then turned around he sighed.. "She already fell asleep it's not even 7pm!" He thought to himself he grabbed a blanket and laid it over her. Bre stood there smiling.

"AWHH!" She scream-whispered. A light blush was forming on his cheeks.

"Oi, I just thought she might get cold or something." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Happy for help. He just laughed "You liiiiiikeeee her" Natsu huffed again turning his back to the two.

"Awh c'mon Natsu we was just playin!" Bre teased Natsu turned around and picked Bre off her feet tickling her. This reminds me of when my daddy did this to me. Snapping out of her thoughts she begged for mercy. He stopped. The three of them heard a moan escape the blondes lips then her eyes start to flutter open.

"Oh no Natsu! We have awoken the beast!" Happy yelled a pillow hitting him down.

"Stupid Cat!" Lucy shouted back. "Eh, Well anyways tomorrow I know where we need to go Kiona told me in my dream it's a little far from this hotel but we need to go through the forest then.. To these ruins that have hidden tunnels" She winced for a second she had a major headache it must be because of Kiona but she continued "The hidden tunnels have traps but they lead us to the machine" She winced again holding her head.

"You okay Luce?" Natsu asked concerned.

"I-I'm fine it's just a headache but we need to leave early in the morning tomorrow.." Another ping went to her head it was Kiona's voice

"You need to split up"

"We also need to split up I'll explain tomorrow can y-you get Bre ready for bed and get her d-dinner I'm just gonna t-try to get some sleep." She tried to stop herself from shaking but it wasn't working Natsu sat on the bed with her staring into her light brown eyes.

"You don't look so good are you sure your okay?"

Lucy took his hand in hers making it shake a bit but she nodded her head laying down."J-just fine Natsu, Just t-tired goodnight" As soon as she laid down she drifted to sleep but not a peaceful one. A sleep full of nightmares. A sleep full on demons.
