DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL.

Date Uploaded: September 4, 2017- Monday.

Note: Advanced apologies for the OOC's.

This is my first Fairy Tail fanfic, beware of OOC's, I always put this in fics I write to warn everyone. I'm not the real author so of course it's bound to happen. If you have problems with OOCs then.

CHAPTER ONE:
~ NIGHTMARE ~

"No please stop! Don't hurt her! She's not a Dragon Slayer! You've mistaken!"

He was frustrated, hurting, almost pleading for them to stop hurting her. But the girl kept on screaming which means that the pain continued even with his plead.

His face and his figure was a bit blurry, his voice was hazy and so was the girl. The location was a dark place, probably a cavern or an underground location. There are sparks of blue and orange or that's just what I see.

I tried to look closer and somehow the figure of the boy changed or has it only been clearer? I see a boy with black hair, topless and in his chest he bears a guild mark. No can't it be! I tried to look closer but the more I look closer, the figure begins to change again. This time, the guild mark was gone, or was I imagining it in the first place?

"Carla!"

Gasping for air, Carla was covered in sweat as she awakened from her sleep, the dream, no, the prediction cut off. But either way she's been wary of what it was about or when it will happen.

"Carla, are you okay?" Happy asked, worried. Carla remembered that Natsu and Wendy took on a quest together since Natsu offered to help her out and now they're on their way back but got lost on the way so they camped in the forest.

When she still couldn't speak, Happy was all the more worried of what her dream was about.

"Carla..."

The silence was filled with a loud laugh from Natsu and Wendy. Wendy was riding on Natsu by his shoulders. Wendy was carrying a pile of fruits different from each other while Natsu was making sure Wendy doesn't fall.

"Natsu! Where have you two been?!" Happy exclaimed, worried that when he woke up the two were gone.

"Some big bird got us and when we woke up we were on top of a tree!"

"But don't worry Carla, Happy, Natsu got us both out safely!" Wendy added to keep the two Exceeds from worrying. "We found some fruits on the way too."

"How did you find your way back?" Happy asked.

"Did you have to ask? I could never forget your scent Happy!"

While Natsu and Happy were talking, Wendy noticed that Carla was awfully quiet. It wasn't rare that Carla isn't as noisy as Happy was but Wendy knew already that something was up with Carla that time.

Little did Wendy know, Carla was actually thinking, trying to find out who the people are in her dream. Her first suspect as the victim was Wendy but judging from the male voie that screamed, he claimed that the girl was not a Dragon Slayer, in which, Wendy is, so she's crossed off the list. However, there's a possibility that he could be lying as well.

Even if Wendy was crossed off the list, there are a couple more suspects to be the victim since Fairy Tail is a big guild after all. Furthermore, it could also be that its someone not from Fairy Tail. With that said, possibilities are endless.

Carla has hints with who the male one is though. If she can find who it is then she can connect the dots to trace who the victim is. What she wasn't sure of is that the figures keep on changing. She only awakened from her train of thought when Natsu screamed so loud that it rang in her ears. She realized that Wendy was carrying her in her arms while still riding on Natsu. Happy on the other hand was flying by Natsu's side.

"We're here at last!" Natsu shouts in joy.

"You're really amazing, Natsu!" Wendy says, smiling at him. His nose is really good to use when they're lost.

Meanwhile, in Fairy Tail, it was the usual crowd, drinking and chatting and making trouble. Droy entered the guild and was looking for Mirajane.

"Mira, did you you see Levy?" he asked. The girl shook her head. "Jet told me she'd head here to get some medicine for him but it's been
hours and she isn't back yet."

"Hmm, now that you mentioned it. I think I remember seeing her at the Request Board, looking for some easy quests."

"Oh Droy, you're here alone too?" Macao interjected in their conversation. "Is Shadow Gear falling apart?"

"He's looking for Levy. It seems that she left Jet for hours and haven't returned yet." Mira explained to Macao.

"Jet's sick, Levy looked after him while I was away since I promised to help Max and Warren out with the sales. I got back and Jet was worried because she's not back yet." Droy elaborated and Macao nodded then he turns to Wakaba.

"We saw her staring at the Request Board. She got a hold of a quest that Wendy happens to also want to take." Macao answered.

"Yeah, Natsu tagged along to keep them safe." Wakaba added. "Even if the quest was just to deliver a mail."

"I see... if it's Natsu, I guess it's no surprise that it'd take them this long to finish a quest." Droy felt relieved hearing so. However Natsu arrived with a bang, Wendy, Carla and Happy with him but not Levy.

"I'm famished! I want to eat!" Natsu says very loud and ran to the
counter with Wendy by his side.

"Aye sir!"

"Wanna eat as well!" Wendy followed his lead. Only Carla was not blending in with them.

"Oh look he's here." Macao says but Droy already rushed to talk to them. Macao grinned. "Youngsters these days." he muttered as he drank.

"Welcome back, Natsu, Wendy, Happy, Carla." Mira greeted as she got back to the counter to give them something to eat. Her usual friendly smile was on.

"It's good to be back!" Natsu says.

"Natsu." Droy rushed to his side.

"Ah Droy, want to fight?" he asked but Droy ignored his question. He's not interested to do such thing at the moment.

"I heard you tagged along with Wendy and Levy's quest, but seeing you two right now, she's not here." he says, worried why she didn't arrive
with them.

"Levy-san gave me the quest." Wendy explained for Natsu's sake. "She said she remembered she had other things to do."

"Yeah. I even told her its okay to join us without you guys. I know she always takes on quests with you and Jet." Natsu added. Droy can see that their stories were straight but he's bothered that in between taking the quest and giving it to Wendy, something happened to her that resulted to her being missing. "By the way, I haven't seen Lucy around. Where is she?"

"Lucy went on a quest with Gray, Juvia and Erza." Mira answered and Natsu froze for a moment there. "Natsu?"

"No way! Lucy going on a quest without me that's unfair!" all fired up, he turned to Happy, "come on Happy, let's go find Lucy!"

"Aye sir!" Happy fled by Natsu's side and the two exited the guild with style. Wendy wanted to come as well but she really wanted to rest and at the same time ask Carla what was wrong with her. Droy on the other hand seemed troubled. Carla, was having this nagging feeling the girl could be Levy. But then again it could also be just a coincidence.

"Mission success!" a voice echoed in the entire guild as Lucy, Gray, Erza and Juvia entered. All of them carrying trophies for some reason.

"Welcome back." Mira greeted them just as she greeted the rest.

"Whoa, what's with those trophies?" Elfman asked when he saw each trophy differed from each other. Lucy happily raised hers, a celestial key-shaped trophy.

"The village is skilled in crafting them. To thank us for our hardwork, they gave us trophies to our own liking!" Lucy explained happily. "I could've requested that they make a trophy of myself but that'd be embarrassing."

"Well Juvia didn't seem embarassed when she requested a trophy of Gray." Cana joked as she saw Juvia hugging her Gray-shaped trophy
tightly.

Then they look at Gray and Erza's trophy, one was a jacket while the other was a cake.

"Oh by the way, Natsu went after you guys." Macao said when he remembered seeing Natsu and Happy stormed off to find them.

"Yeah, he was jealous that we had trophies." Gray teased as he proudly showed off his trophy. "We told him the direction where we got the trophies and I guess he rushed to get one."

"Geez, as if they'd give him a free one." Lucy says.

In their surprise, Natsu arrives carrying a slightly injured Levy in his arms. "I found Levy instead!" he exclaims and Levy shyly asks him to put her down.

"Levy!" Droy ran towards them to be her aid. "Where have you been?! Jet and I have been worried!" he said afterwards.

She scratched the back of her head as she showed Droy some herbs she got. "It wasn't available on any store nearby. I didn't have enough
money to travel or buy anything expensive." she explained. "Natsu helped me pick them up."

"You're welcome!"

"Natsu AND Happy!" Happy corrected.

"Was Jet's sickness really that bad?" Wakaba asked, wondering why she had to find such rare herbs to treat him.

"He couldn't run much, let alone walk. I was worried so I did a little research and discovered hese herbs are good for him." she tells them.

But while they talk and catch up, Carla, was relieved to know that she was wrong. However, there's a view on her left that makes her worried again.

"Gray's trophy is a jacket? I guess that means they want you to stop stripping." Cana commented.

"Eh?! No!"

Carla remembered seeing the boy without a shirt and his guild mark was exactly to where Gray's guild mark is. Then again, the figure changed when she tried to focus on it. But if it's possible... then was Juvia the victim then?
