AN: Hello everyone! This is my first time writing anything to do with Fairy Tail. I recently fell in love with this Anime and wanted to give it a shot. I know there are major mistakes but I am writing everything on my phone so please to try overlook some things. I'm still getting used to this anime and I might get some things wrong so please if I make a mistake, correct me so I can make sure it does not happen again. Of course I do not own anything pertaining to fairy tail. All rights belong to Hiro Mashima This is just a little story that popped into my head. I'm not sure where it is going yet but it'll get there and I hope you choose to stick out the journey with me.
It feels so good to be home. Lucy thought to herself as she walked into her living room. She immediately went into the kitchen and started unloading her newly purchased groceries. Natsu and Lucy had just gotten back to Magnolia after a month long mission. Lochfair was a city about four hours away from Magnolia and it was very wealthy. When they had originally taken the job, they thought it would be a piece of cake with the entire team but Erza and Gray already had prior obligations so it was just Natsu, Happy, and Lucy going to Lochfair. Little did they know that when they returned home it would be a group of four instead of just three.
Flashback:
The mission was simple, stop a group of thieves that were running amuck in the city and causing mayhem. The task of capturing the thieves and finding stolen property didn't seem hard at all, especially given Natsu's heightened sense of smell. The first two weeks of the mission were uncharacteristically rough for the trio. It turned out that the crime group were also a "wannabe" dark guild called Crimson. The mages in Crimson were mere armatures but they still gave it their all for their so called cause. Defeating them should have been a breeze but they had one particular mage that made it rather difficult. Every time that Natsu would catch a guild member's scent they would follow it and ultimately come up with nothing. Ceclya Hino was the only decent mage in the entire guild. It didn't take them long to figure out why Natsu could not track the guild; Ceclya was using a type of runes to camouflage the entire guild. It was a brilliant idea to use runes in such a way.
Natsu and Lucy were eating breakfast at a small table at the inn where they lodged.
"If we don't find them this time, I don't what know what we should do. Their crimes are getting more severe each day but Ceclya is making it impossible to find them after the damage is done." Lucy looked down at her food and started picking at it.
"It'll be okay Luce, we'll find them; we can't just leave without completing the mission. Think about how bad it will make Fairy Tail look if we walk away, besides we've been here for almost a month and we won't have time for another job to pay for your rent in time." Natsu always had a way of putting things into perspective for Lucy even if he didn't realize it. He looked up at her and gave her one of his signature grins for reassurance.
"Since you put it that way, I'm all fired up."
"Hey, that's my line."
Right when they were about to leave the little blue Exceed came flying to their table.
"Natsu! Natsu, I have a question for you; what does Ceclya look like?" Happy was out of breath and talking so fast that Natsu could barely understand him.
"Oi! Happy calm down and let me think," Natsu looked up to his little Exceed with a worry filled expression. I wonder what's gotten into to him.
"Natsu what does she look like?" Happy still hadn't calmed down and he was beginning to flutter around the table.
"I don't remember, Happy." Natsu honesty could not remember what the girl looked like no matter how hard he racked his brain.
Finally Lucy decided to speak up; she was getting tired of listening to them. "She has long teal hair and blue eyes; the last time we saw her she was wearing a purple dress with cut outs around the stomach and down her back," she stated factually. "Why do you ask, Happy," She quizzically asked.
"She bought me a fish and I saw her guild mark. She is actually really nice; she doesn't seem evil at all. I was surprised that she was a part of Crimson."
"Where is she now?" Something didn't seem right to Lucy; something made her feel like they were going to walk into a trap.
"She was still in the market when I left to come and find you all." Happy had finally calmed down enough.
"Hell, what are we still waiting for then? Let's go see if we can find her and see what her deal is." Natsu grabbed ahold of Lucy's arm and started running towards the door.
"AYE! Wait for me." Happy yelled as he started flying to catch up with their retreating figures.
