A/N: I know, I should be updating ''Our memories'', but I'm waiting for a reply and I don't want to post the next chapter until then.

The idea for this story is just stuck in my head. I just really wanted to write this. So thanks to everyone that's reading this! I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1

"Natsu, we need to go on a mission. My rent's due next week," Lucy sighed, looking at the pink/salmon haired dragon slayer.

"Sure Luce, your turn to pick a job," was all Lucy was able to understand of Natsu's reply, as he clearly didn't have good enough manners to not talk with food in his mouth.

Sighing once more, Lucy walked over to the board. Almost all the good jobs that would pay her rent was taken. There was one, fighting some monsters somewhere for 500 000 Jewels. Sure, she didn't necessarily enjoy the more dangerous jobs like that, but it would hopefully pay her rent. Of course, there was a chance Natsu would destroy everything. Accidents happen.

"Hey, Mira? Me and Natsu will be taking this job," Lucy hurriedly gave Mira the request, before running over to Natsu. He seemed a bit too happy with her choice, until he discovered the location.

"I'm never riding a train again," he complained, laying flat on the ground after a 10 hour long train ride.

"You say that every time," Lucy mumbled, looking at the small village. She dragged Natsu with her, wishing Happy hadn't gone on a mission with Pantherlily, Carla and Wendy.

The client was a pretty girl, probably in her twenties, with a flowing purple dress.

"A few weeks ago, a few demons were spotted living in the forest. They didn't bother us at the time, so we let them be. But, a few days later a boy of 6 disappeared without any trace. The next day, his younger sister was gone. A few days later another child was nowhere to be found. We suspect the demons have abducted the kids. The other townspeople were against sending for help, but I had to take action. Only one child remain, and I can't let her disappear like the others," the girl explained.

"Of course we will help you," Lucy reassured the woman, quickly leaving, Natsu, back on his feet, following soon after her. Lucy was glad he followed her, something about the way the client had looked at him…

"Hey, Natsu, how are we going to find the demons?"

"I could burn the forest down..."

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Fine." The two mages entered the forest, hoping this wouldn't take to long.

The demons was much stronger than Lucy had expected. There was three of them, but every time they beat one, it would gather itself and fight them again. Made out of rocks and dust, the demons was dealing punches on the stellar mage and fire dragon, and they were both starting to feel it. If Juvia was here, then she could probably have dealt with them. The client had informed them that one of the demons had been observed dying in a lake nearby. Sadly, they didn't have any sources of water that was close enough for them to take advantage of.

Too late, Lucy saw one of the demons rebuilding itself next to Natsu, it's hand now a jagged edge, ready to stab him. She started moving, reaching out for her best friend, but it was pointless. She wouldn't make it in time.

Someone screamed his name. Looking up, Natsu saw something sharp coming towards him. His muscles felt like lead, as he tried moving away. Luce…

She had to move faster. Natsu couldn't die. Not like this. Not yet. What about all the adventures they were supposed to go on together.

She watched, in slow motion, as the sword-like hand closed in on her partners chest. It was too late. She was too late.

"Water dragon, roar!"

A/N: So, what do my readers think? I know, it was short, a horrible cliff hanger and stuff like that, but what do you think of it? Was it okay that I added the water dragon? I wanted a water dragon. I would like to know if anyone is interested in me writing this story, 'cause I won't bother continuing it no one likes it. So, if anyone enjoys it, please tell me in a review!

And if you haven't, I would be really happy if you could try my other story ''Our Memories''. It's kinda cliche, but I tried adding a twist of my own.

Hope you have fun in life!
