I don't own Fairy Tail. Even though I wish I did.
Chapter 1: Into the Darkness
"Lucy!" Happy screamed. I dropped my head in exhaustion and groaned. Why couldn't that cat leave me alone! We had just gotten off the train from our latest job, and I had expected Natsu and Happy to go back to the guild. I sighed. All I wanted to do was give my landlady the rent money i owed her, and go to bed. But, I guess I shouldn't have expected peace so soon.
"Yes, Happy?" I questioned the cat. I turned around and expected to see Natsu behind him, but there was no pink hair to be seen. That was strange. I thought Natsu had been with the blue feline.
"I just wanted to remind you that me and Natsu are coming over for breakfast tomorrow! Remember? You promised me fish!" He said with a smile. Groaning again, I remembered that I had told the pair I would make them breakfast the morning after we had gotten home from our job. I must have said it so they would stop bothering me. Even though I loved them both dearly, they could seriously get on my nerves sometimes. I suppose I had to do it for them then. Wouldn't want to see them disappointed.
I decided to go with a small lie. "Of course, Happy. I'll start making the food once you two wake me up tomorrow. Please, don't come over early. I'm tired after the trip." The cat looked at me like I was an idiot. I obviously was since I agreed to this shit.
"Why would you tell me that, Lucy? My memory is terrible!" He turned around with a flick of this tail and started flying away, "I'll tell Natsu when I get home! See ya tomorrow!" I stared long after the cat had left. He wouldn't tell Natsu, simply just to bother me. They would be over at the crack of dawn expecting food immediately. Interally, I screamed. I'll never get any peace!
Waking with sleep in my eyes, I assumed Natsu had crashed into my house, causing me to wake up. I sat dumbfounded in my bed, one arm positioned to keep me in a sitting position, while the other arm rubbed at my eye. My apartment sat in silent darkness. I didn't here Natsu's heavy breathing, or the sound of Happy chattering to himself about fish. I heard nothing. What had caused me to wake up? An eerie chill went down my back. A shuffling noise made my eyes widen, my heart start to beat faster, and my body to go completely still. Someone was in my house.
A creak came from the front enterance, freaking me out more than I already was. My door was locked! It was probably just Natsu and Happy, trying to scare the living shit me. Sighing, I got out of my bed, grabbed my keys (just incase), and quietly exited my room. I crept into my living room and to my shock, found nothing there.
I searched around as well as I could, but found nothing out of then ordinary. I was tiptoeing back to my bedroom when I heard quiet whispers.
"I scented that bastard, Natsu. He must live in this apartment. Attack the stupid Fairy that lives here while he is sleeping, not me!" Said a hushed voice. Oh my God. Someone was about to attack me, thinking it was Natsu. That idiot got me into too much trouble!
Standing up straight, I quietly walked back into the living room, getting ready to tell the intruders that I wasn't Natsu. I found no one. I gasped in shock. There had just been someone talking in here! I had heard no noise of them trying to escape, so how did they vanish!?
"Shit. I was wrong. It isn't that bastard," an annoyed sigh,"I guess this Fairy will have to do. Have fun, man." The words made my spine shoot straight. The menacing voice came from behind me. Slowly, I crept around. God dammit! There was no one!
"Haahaahaa... Luuuuuuucyyyyyy..." The dark, chilling voice continued,"How do you expect to win?... If you can't even find me!" In the darkness, I saw two evil glowing eyes and a flash of deep midnight hair. My hand shot for my keys. But which of my spirits would be able to help me! I couldn't even find the villain!
"I don't know who you are, and you're seriously creeping me out. Show yourself to me or leave, now!" Even though I had tried to sound tough, my words came out wobbly. A strange sense of fear had settled into me. Laughter came from the man.
"Now, why would I do that?... When this is much more fun?!" I was hit from behind. I crashed into the floor. The blood on the carpet was from the rug burn I had just received. Before I could call upon any of my spirits, I was lifted by my ankle to face a dark shadow. The hand that grabbed me burned. I still hadn't seen my opponent clearly, or been given a chance to land an attack, but then again, he hadn't given me an opportunity to fight. A punch came straight to my gut, winding me badly. "Tsk Tsk. I thought you were stronger than this," came the voice. He took hold of my other ankle, slowly lifting me up higher, until his claws were digging deep into the backs of my thighs, making blood run. I tried not to scream, even though the pain wasn't bearable. The creature sighed, then I was thrown against a wall, the force hard enough to crack my skull. Reality started to drift away from me, and I went into the darkness. Just before I was fully consumed, the voice appeared again,"I suppose I will have to find fun somewhere else. Until next time, Lucy." The Dragon Slayer of Shadows walked away.
So... Uhhh..? How was it? Does anyone want me to continue? If not, thanks for reading! ~ Fox
