Natsu POV
There was blood everywhere. I didn't know someone could have so much blood.
I felt the tears streaming down my face and I could hear the cry's from Happy who was across the room, staring at an emotionless Lucy.
Just like Curtis said, Lucy's blood was being sacrificed to the now red vines that wrapped around Lucy's wrists and ankles. Her stomach had a huge gash with blood bursting out of it. And if Curtis was correct then Lucy would disappear in thin air, once the vines were done eating at her blood.
I burst in flames; I just wanted to kill the guy then and there. Curtis was the one who did this to Lucy, I had to do something soon or Lucy really was going to disappear or even die. This was all my fault, if only I came with her to this huge castle she would be by my side, safe and sound. I still remember how this all started, a memory that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
/Flashback/
"All right listen up, Brats" Gramps yelled at the once loud room. "The Magic Council has asked us to help with a problem that has been causing trouble all over Fiore. This problem is named Curtis Grant and he is a dark mage, one of the most powerful demon mages ever known.", "Demon mage?" Erza asked, looking from her cake at the master. "Yes, a demon mage is a mage that uses a demons magic, it is a lost and forbidden dark magic. This type of magic is used to sacrifice a person's blood, but only if the blood is sweet and pure. Killing the person in the process." Makarov explained
"Why in the world would the Magic Council ask us for help? They are strong enough to do it on their own." Gray yelled, staring at Makarov. The master sighed and said "Well it seems that this mage is much more powerful than the Council, so they asked Fairy Tail to help them bring this mage to justice. I was going to decline because we have more things to worry about, but they told me they would drop all the bills that I owed." Makarov had hearts in his eyes, "So I agreed" Everyone fell silent. If Curtis is this powerful how can Fairy Tail bring him down? Even the Magic Council is scared of the guy.
Natsu was the one who broke the silence "I'm all fired up!"
