this is my first fanfiction, so if you could i would love reviews and any helpful criticisms.

thank you 3

depending on the reviews i get on this story, and if people want me to i might start adding more chapters to this story.

The darkness was creeping closer, suffocating and chocking, it doesn't matter how far or how fast I run, I can't escape it, my breath now comes in short painful bursts, my knees begin to feel tired and start to buckle..… I begin to fall..…. Within in seconds of fainting I hear a scream…my last thought is wondering who was it that screamed…...My head hits the cold ground..… my eyelids begin to close….. Is someone is standing over me?... my mind collapses and I see nothing but a dark redness before I'm consumed by darkness.

I woke up gasping for breath, shivering under my blanket from cold sweat, I slowly sit up in bed, balling up my fists and covering my eyes "Haha, come on Lucy, snap out of it, there's nothing to be afraid of…." but I couldn't convince myself, I couldn't understand what I was soo afraid of

In an instant something warm touches my right shoulder, I'm shocked and frightened by the sudden contact, but only to have it disappear quickly "Hey Luce", my fear soon evaporates as I look up only to see a pink haired boy, I try not notice how he was looking at me strangely with his black coloured eyes, why?, why do I feel the sudden need to blush?

~His voice…. Why does it make me feel…. As everything will be okay?~

I return his same goofy grin with a smile of my own.

"What are you doing?" this wouldn't be the first time he broke into my house while I slept, exactly how many Lucy kicks it will take for him to learn?

"ahhaha, come on Luce" wrapping a very warm arm around my shoulder,

"Don't be so mad, we came by to tell you we have another mission, all we have to do is take out a few groups of bandits and we get to stay at a resort during and after the mission, the notice said we'll get paid $2500000 jewels and a three day holiday there getting to do whatever we want during and after the mission!" he seemed genially pleased with himself as he continued to grin down at me.

~His smile could brighten up the darkest of worlds~

I look back up at him as my mind is quickly erased by all worry and fears, and I give him one of my biggest smiles yet "so, when do we begin?"

"Lucy, you should eat some fish if you're constipated" a smirking blue cat appeared out of nowhere above Natsu

"SHUT UP YOU DAMN CAT!" are you kidding me! Why does Happy have to embarrass me like that!

"HAHAhahahahahahahahahaha, looks like the mission is already starting out great huh guys!" Natsu was laughing as Happy would hide behind Natsu, and I'd pretend to try and catch him.
