The soft sound of lips encased to each other rang as if this was the only thing around. The sweet taste of meat and candy, guiding the two to slowly pull apart, satisfied with the occurance. Lucy, gave a small smile, slowly opening her eyes, she gasped. She expected to see a smiling, calm Natsu, but in reality, it was not him. His eyes were completely black to where she could see her own reflection, and his crooked grin. Before she could react, he grabbed her by the neck tightening with every second that passed. Weakly struggling, she started to cry when CRACK.

The sudden jump from her bed, caused her to turn to tears, crying until the morning.

~~Time skip~~

Lucy was back at the guild, dozing off, her hands placed gently onto her forehead, slowly shifting downward with weariness. Natsu, very confused, went to her and slapped her shoulder gently, causing her to jump up and yell, tears falling as she stared at him completely terrified.

"Are you okay? I didn't mean to freak you out but-" Natsu stopped as Lucy suddenly blacked out, falling into his arms, his voice becoming distant till it faded. Natsu picked her up and went with her to Porlyusica. Natsu set her on the table and did as the woman said, a bad feeling rising in his stomach.

"I-is she going to be okay?" Natsu asked worried, but as he asked she sighed.

"If you can stop the one that is doing this. If this continues, she won't be herself anymore, she won't be able to come back if you wait any longer." He showed Natsu some of her long blonde hair turned to a pitch black color. Lucy coughed a bit, but didn't open her eyes. Porlyusica quickly booted him out, "Hurry up, there isn't time!" She said sounding worried making Natsu head out on his quest to save Lucy.

~~Time Skip~~

Porlyusica quickly grabbed a syringe as Lucy struggled for air, her hair already almost completely changed, she was becoming "corrupted". She struck it toward Lucy, but it left her hand and shattered against the back wall behind her. Lucy was just gone, no trace left behind.
