The Flame In The Night
On this crisp, fall morning Natsu and Happy made their way way to the guild hall as they strolled through the forest.
"Natsu..." Happy said.
"Yeah, what's up Happy?", Natsu replied.
"Do you think Lucy is okay?".
"What do you mean Happy?", Natsu said while he looked at Happy in a confused way.
"Well haven't you noticed that she has been feeling off since... you know...", Happy said in a timid tone.
"Actually, come to think of it, Lucy hasn't gone on a job in two weeks now... And she is not spending a lot if time at the guild also...", Natsu
said as he pondered the idea.
"I hope she is ok...", Happy said with a worried voice. Natsu only shrugged and shook his head in agreement. But without anymore thought the two walked up to the wooden doors of Fairy Tail's guild hall and walked through.
Like usual the guild was filled with the screams and shouts of people cheering on with the on going fights that erupted out of nowhere. And the noise of beer mugs clinking together.
Immediately Happy flew over to the other fellow mages and Exceeds, greeting them with smiles and following conversations. Natsu looked around for the blonde haired celestial wizard. But there was no sign of her. So sluggishly Natsu walked over to the bar counter and sat near Mirajane who was cleaning the glasses.
"Mira..", Natsu said softly.
"Yes Natsu is there something you need?", she replied with a warm smile.
"Yeah..um..have you seen Lucy today?", he said in a whisper.
And in her nice, loving voice she said, "Actually yes."
"Woah really?!", and his heart started beating a little faster.
"Yeah she came in early to do a job, and she should be back anytime now...", Mira cheered.
Natsu got up and thanked Mira for her help and ran to Lucy's house and left his fellow mages and partner in the dust.
