Hi guys! It's AznMelody5678~ So I've decided to try this out, 'cause I've never done a story like this before. Not sure how this will go 0_0; But yeah...Give it a try? So..yeah...enjoy?

Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Fairy Tail. Hiro does.

Summary: A shadowy figure has appeared at the guild and for an unknown reason, is going after Lucy. What will Fairy Tail do?

"Oi Luce, are you alright?" Natsu asked worriedly.

"I-I'm fine."

"Stay away from Lucy!" Natsu roared as he charged towards them.


It was any normal day in Magnolia. Well, normal for others at least. In the guild of Fairy Tail, there isn't really a "normal" day.

Lucy Heartfelia was sitting in her home like any other day…from someone else's point of view. However, Lucy was feeling very stressed at the moment. She wasn't feeling her best today.

"Come on. Gotta think of something." She muttered to herself. She held the side of her head as she felt a sudden pain.

"Ow. Maybe I'm over thinking this." She mumbled laying her head in her arms as if she were thinking intently, which she was. Natsu appeared as always but was actually quiet when he came in. He saw Lucy and grinned mischievously. He tiptoed behind her, getting ready to scare her. Lucy suddenly put up her hand scaring the crap out of him, causing him to fall backwards.

"Not. Now. Natsu." Lucy muttered darkly. Natsu was baffled. How did Lucy know he was there? He'd been so quiet this time!

"Damn…That was scary." Natsu muttered. Natsu furrowed his brows seeing Lucy's distress.

"Oi Luce, are you alright?" Natsu asked worriedly, getting up from his place on the floor. Lucy sat up and sighed.

"I'm fine just…a little stressed." Lucy said massaging her temples. She looked around the room. "Where's Happy?" Natsu frowned.

"At the guild, I think. Why are you stressed?"

Lucy smiled gently at her pink haired best friend. "Just have some writer's block for my story. No big deal." Lucy said. Natsu eyed her skeptically not fully believing her. "Really I'm fine. Let's go to the guild, shall we?" Lucy asked pushing her teammate out the door with her following.

"W-Wait Lucy! You look tired, let's just rest a little." Natsu started, not believing that his best friend was actually feeling well.

"I told you Natsu, I'm fine." Lucy said as they walked towards their beloved guild. As they walked, Lucy tried brain storming for an idea while Natsu cautiously watched her in case something happened. Lucy felt his stare and sweat-dropped.

"Oi Natsu, would you stop that? You're kind of creeping me out." Lucy said, but they arrived at the guild. Lucy turned to Natsu. "Don't worry, Natsu. I'm fine." Lucy reassured with a smile. Lucy then greeted everyone and walked over to talk with Levy, leaving Natsu at the entrance.

Natsu scanned to room for his other teammates and saw Erza and Gray talking by the bar. He quickly walked over there while trying to keep his gaze on Lucy. While doing this, he wasn't exactly looking where he was going. So being Natsu, he ran into Gray.

"Hey! Watch it Flame Brain!" Gray shouted itching to start a fight. Natsu just waved him off and sat down in the stool beside Erza, still watching Lucy.

"Whatever. Sorry." He muttered. Gray's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Natsu was apologizing to him. That, is not normal. Erza, who was beside Natsu, froze and the piece of strawberry cake on her fork dropped onto the plate. She was baffled. Normally, she would have to break up the two after they started a fight. And Natsu was usually the one who started it.

"Oi did you get hit in the head or something?" Gray asked.

"Sorta. I guess." Natsu replied not taking his eyes off Lucy. "I fell on the floor if that counts." He mumbled.

"Okay there is something totally wrong with you today. Who are you and what have you done with Natsu?" Gray asked accusingly. Natsu gave an annoyed growl.

"Shut up, Popsicle. I'm trying to concentrate." Natsu grunted. Erza watched in amusement as Gray continued to pester Natsu.


"And it's hard to come up with it at this part." Lucy explained. Levy nodded.

"I get it. But I know you can do it Lu-chan. Your story is amazing!" Levy gushed. Lucy blushed.

"T-Thanks. But it's not that great." Lucy said embarrassed. Levy started to complain to Lucy how she always thought her own stories weren't great. Lucy smiled at the blunette. She suddenly got hit with a wave of dizziness. Lucy grabbed the table for a little support as she blinked away the dizziness.

"…so stop saying it's not great." Levy finished. She noticed Lucy looking a little hazy and frowned. "Lu-chan, are you alright? You look a little dazed." Levy asked worriedly. Lucy gave a small smile.

"I-I'm fine." Lucy said. However, everything was becoming a blur and was starting to sound distant. Levy narrowed her eyes in suspicion at her best friend as her eyes lost their gleam.


Natsu sat at the bar, stunned. He was staring at Lucy and suddenly saw her eyes get hazy, her body slightly swaying.

"…Are you even listening to me Hot Head?" Gray shouted. Natsu gave no response which Erza and Gray noticed. They also noticed that Natsu got a little paler.

"Natsu, are you okay?" Erza asked with concern. No reply. The two followed his gaze which was fixed on Lucy.

"Natsu, is something wrong with Lucy?" Erza asked seriously. She watched Natsu as he went from fear to anger. They glanced at Lucy but saw nothing and gave the dragon slayer confused stares. Natsu growled.

"Stay away from Lucy!" He roared charging at the two bookworms. The two beside him jumped at his sudden burst of anger.


"Lu-chan! Are you okay? Lu-chan!" Levy asked trying to get Lucy to react. Levy froze as fear took over her, a shadowy figure seen behind Lucy. Her limbs went numb. Her hands went to her mouth.

"W-Who..?" She saw a hand reaching out for Lucy. Levy shook with fear as her mind went blank.

"Stay away from Lucy!" Natsu roared as he charged towards them. Levy let out an ear piercing scream that definitely caught the guild's attention, especially that of a certain dragon slayer.


Natsu tried to smash the shadowy figure, but it disappeared causing him to miss. Once it did, Lucy swayed dangerously and passed out. Natsu caught her before she fell onto the ground. He looked up at a trembling Levy.

"You saw it too, right Levy?" Natsu asked seriously. Levy dropped down beside them, still trembling, giving a barely noticeable nod to Natsu. Gajeel appeared beside her in a heartbeat.

"Oi Shrimp! What's wrong? What the fuck was that for Salamander?" Gajeel growled. He turned back to Levy and held her trembling form. She looked more scared than she did in the past, which was a look he never wanted to see on her again. "Calm down, Levy. Everythin'll be alright." Gajeel murmured. Levy brought her hands to her head.

"W-What was t-that?" Levy whispered so softly that only Gajeel and Natsu could hear.

"Whaddaya mean?" Gajeel asked.

"S-Something was there…B-Behind Lu-chan, like a shadow…And a hand…was reaching out for her…" Levy stuttered in absolute terror. Gajeel gave her a confused stare while Natsu was furious. Erza and Gray had run up as well as other members of the guild, worried about the two bookworms.

"Lucy! Levy! What's wrong?" Erza asked in panic as she kneeled down beside Natsu and the unconscious Lucy.

"What the hell happened?" Gray asked in concern kneeling beside Levy and Gajeel. The two turned to Natsu for an explanation but were speechless at Natsu's seeping anger. Natsu's fist was clenched tightly, his knuckles white.

"No way in hell am I letting this bastard get away." Natsu muttered dangerously as his fist lit up in flames.


So what did you think? Should I continue this? Review on what you think of it. Thanks for giving it a chance! ^_^
