"hey lucy! Wanna go on a job tomorrow?" Natsu said as he sat down beside Lucy.

"what is the job about?" Lucy was really tired of going on jobs but she had to pay her rent.

" its to get back a magic box from this dark guild, the reward is 50,000,000 jewels." Natsu said happily, "We'll split the reward and you can probably keep up your rent for at leat a few years or more."

Lucy's eyes widened, 50,000,00 jewels? Just how important is this box and just how strong is this dark guild? The money is good but I just wish I could come back alive… No, I will be okay, I'm a mage and there's always Natsu there to protect me! "Sure! When do we meet up?"

"tomorrow morning at your house, see ya!" Natsu said as he got up.

"bye lucy!" said Happy.

"nhhgggg..!" Lucy yawned and stretched her body then got up ready to go home, yeah yeah gotta get plenty of rest for tomorrow's big trip, Lucy thought.

But the "big trip" wont go as she thinks it will, sure the dark guild was strong, but something more dangerous was waiting for her.

Second day

"OUI LUCY!"

Mhmm? Who is it this early? Lucy looked out her window only to see her whole team waiting for her, and Lisanna was there too.

"OH RIGHT! Gimme 10 minutes ill be there!" Lucy suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

As lucy brushed her teath and took a light bath she wondered why Lisanna was here. It's not weird to see her with Natsu since she just came back and Natsu sure missed her a lot but it just felt more than that.

It only took Lucy 7 minutes to get ready and she rushed to the door in her pink tank top along with a black mini skirt.

"Ne Lucy, you see Lisanna just came back and I thought it would be nice to bring her along too… You wouldn't mind… would you?" Natsu said awkwardly as he scratched his head.

"Ah? Ah, yeah sure I don't mind!" Lucy tried to squeeze out a smile as natural as she could. Why am I not happy? I should be happy about then getting along so well… mhmmm… weird.

The five mages plus Happy set out for the trip. The sky dragon wasn't able to come because she had her own job this time.

It took them about 2 days to almost reach their destination: Dark Forest. The name was creepy but the dark guild's hideout was here so the name was somewhat expected. The town Bioneechi seemed pretty normal. After all Dark Forest was still 15 miles away from here.

"we'll have to stay at a inn tonight and fully rest before we could take on the dark guild." Erza demanded.

Yes, Lucy definitely needed a bath and some rest. Something just wasn't right about this trip. She kept feeling murderous stares from someone but couldn't figure out who it was. Maybe it was just my imagination. Lucy thought. But it was more than that, even she herself knew, something bad was going to happen; but she had no idea what was going to happen. She slowly fell asleep in these thoughts.

The next day they set out for the dark guild.

"-tsk- ERZA HOW MUCH FURTHER DO WE STILL NEED TO WALK?" said Natsu in an impatient tone.

"You have 2 choices: one is to keep walking until we reach there, or two is ill throw you down that cliff." Erza pointed to her left, which was bottomless.

Jeez Natsu you know she really would throw you down. Lucy thought in a shiver.

Just at this moment, something flew towards them. "NATSU WATCH OUT!" Happy grabbed him just when the huge thing from the sky landed right on the spot.

"What the hel-" Gray stopped, he saw more and more of them coming. Probably hundreds, or even thousands of these gigantic flying 'birds'.

"AHAHAHHAHA ILL BURN THEM TO PIECES AND WE CAN HAVE A MEAL!" Natsu screamed as fire burst out of his mouth.

Just when he was about to burn everything into ashes, 4 magical circles appeared under Lisanna, Erza, Gray, Natsu and Happy's feet; sucking them into 4 different black holes.

"NATSUHAPPY!" they disappeared.

"ERZA! GRAY!" they disappeared.

"LISANNA!" weird but lisanna was spit out by the black hole.

"Ha I guess we got separated and they didn't think putting the weakest ones together was a big threat." Lisanna didn't seem to care that much; in contrast she kinda sounded happy.

"What the hell where'd they go we gotta fin-" Lucy screamed so loud as hundreds of those gigantic birds flew towards her.

"LUCY WE GOTTA FIGHT!" Lisanna yelled to her.

"AH YEAH." Lucy pulled out her keys. With a slash in the air, Virgo appeared.

"Yes princess? Will I receive punishment?" Said Virgo politely.

"No punishment for you Virgo but please do take care of these flying things."

"Oh no princess I cannot punish them as I do not have the ability to fly, maybe you can try calling brother to at least protect you." Virgo disappeared.

Lucy pulled out her second key but before she know it one of the birds grabbed all her keys and flew away.

"HEY YOU GIVE IT BACK!" Lucy yelled and screamed but the flying thing flew further and futher away.

Lucy still had her attention on the keys and didn't notice what was going on. "LUCY DUCK DOWN!" Lisanna screamed but it was too late.

The 'bird's' sharp beak cut the side of Lucy's waist. Blood was pouring out like a river. Lucy's face turned pale and started breathing very heavily.

Shit. Lisanna finished off the few birds in front of her and looking around to see they all left.

She slowly walked towards Lucy, with an evil grin on her face. She'd never think she will get to do this with Natsu around Lucy all the time. But this was the chance. The chance of getting rid of Lucy forever in front of her. Her heart was filled with jealousy. She couldn't stand the way Natsu always had his attention of Lucy but not herself. Bitch I'll get rid of you and Natsu will be mine again. I can say you got hit by the birds and fell of the cliff, no one is looking, no one can prove me wrong. They'll all believe this is a mere accident. Then after a few years when Natsu and I get married no one will remember you. Because you're a slut, a whore.

Lisanna slowly raised her hand towards Lucy.

"Lisanna, wh-what are you do-doing…?" Lucy barely have the energy left to talk.

"Im getting rid of you forever." Lisanna didn't stop.

"Wh-what? Why?" Lucy was so confused but she couldn't bother because she was struggling more from the pain.

"oh? Are you in pain? Then ill help you. Ill help you get rid of your pain and you give me back my Natsu." Lisanna pushed her towards the cliff.

Lucy's eyes widened, she realizes what Lisanna is trying to do to her, but all was too late.
