When a fairy has fallen #wattys2015

TWELVE

“Were here” Lucy called out smiling at the shining sun ignoring the glances Erza has been throwing at her.

“Finally” Natsu jumped up energized following Lucy and the others out of the train.

“So his is Arious” Lisanna sighed in content looking over the village bellow.  The wind here was strong but bearable and it also carried an amazing tempting smell before it disappeared.  Shaking it off team Nastu began towards the village.

“We should get going” Erza spoke before everyone agreed and they made there was towards an inn nearby.

“So where do we even start looking” Happy huffed looking over at the map before looking at the scenery out the window.

Lisanna looked over the map that was copied for them analyzing the features nearby before looking out the window. “It looks like it’s in the forest.” She pointed towards the number of trees out the window.

“I guess but where in the forest” Lucy said thoughtfully.

“It’s hot in here” Happy complained while Nastu just waved him off.

“Open the window then” Happy just shrugged opening the window making a nice breeze come in along with the tempting smell they smelled before that seems to hypnotize them.

They snapped out of it as it disappeared. “Well that was weird” Erza muttered blinking along with the others.

“Anyway, maybe we can explore the village and see if we can find any clues” Lucy suggested while everyone agreed.

---------------

Split into two groups with Happy, Nastu and Lucy and along with Erza and Lisanna.

Nastu glanced awkwardly at Lucy as they walked together. He hasn’t been alone ever since she woke up and he’s not sure how he feels about her losing her memory.

Not remembering anything of the way he and the others treated her and the pain she must have went through. The guild is eating him alive by not only making her suffer but also lying of it.

Lucy catches his stare before smiling lightly. “Is something wrong Nastu?”

“No, nothing is wrong” other than everything. He sighed looking ahead finding it weir of the few villagers walking around who seem on edge.

 Nastu caught the smell once again and seems to be hypnotized before it disappeared once again making him snap out of it. “What the hell is with that smell” He called out catching one of the villager’s attention.

“Excuse me child but did you say something about a scent?” The old lady approached them cautiously.

“Uh yeah this sweet smell keeps coming around making me feel weird…..” Natsu trailed off remembering the urge to follow it.

“Whatever you do you must pay no mind to the scent, never follow” The old woman spoke quickly in a whisper looking around nervously.

“Why not?” Lucy asked.

“Many villagers could not resist the scent and followed it only to never return” The old man spoke in warning towards Lisanna and Erza.

“Does anyone know why?” Lisanna asked confused.

“Many have tried to only to meet the same fate-“The old man spoke gravely.

“Which is why no one barely comes out in fear to get enthralled by this mysterious smell and meet the same fate” The old woman finished.

“The spirit of dark temptation”

“Huh what?” Natsu turned towards Lucy straining his ears.

“Nothing” She smiled reassuringly while Natsu just shrugged indifferently and Happy stared at her weirdly as he swore her eyes changed color.

‘She probably really wants fish’ he concluded and was about to give her one from his pack when they both began walking away.

“Natsu Lushee wait” He flew after them while the woman looked worriedly after them specifically after Lucy who made eye contact with her before smirking her eyes flashing red.

The old lady shook her head in denial “Damn smell getting to me” She muttered walking home.

---------

“So we both got the same information” Erza sighed as everyone nodded in agreement.

“Do you think the smell and the villagers disappearance is related to the key we are looking for?” Lucy said thoughtfully.

“Most likely, I mean the old man said villagers disappeared inside the forest nearby and the key is somewhere in that forest it has to be connected.” Lisanna agreed before smiling at Lucy who smiled back.

“I guess we should check it out tomorrow but for now we should get some rest” Erza yawned.

---------------

“So how are we supposed to find the key” Lisanna asked staring at the forest that seems to have gotten creepier.

“Follow the smell” Happy shrugged resting on Natsu’s shoulder.

“That seems good enough.” Natsu shrugged sniffing the air and catching the scent before following it everyone else following his lead.

“Master!” Levy barged in master Makahov’s office panting holding a book in her arms.

“Levy” Master looked up from his paper work in surprise “what’s wrong shouldn’t you be still resting”

Levy smiled sheepishly “I couldn’t stand not doing anything” Master nodded in understanding before going around his desk to stand before her.

“What is it you came here for?” Instantly Levy grew serious.

“I decided to do some research based on what Lucy’s told us and-“She paused breathing sharply.

“There’s much more to it.
