It was an odd sensation, feeling him on top of me. There were times that I would dream about it, but it's something totally different to actually feel it. And there he was, looking down at me with those dark eyes of his through a fringe of his pink hair with a look that only a man can have. I wasn't sure what all I was supposed to do in this situation, but I know for a fact that I want to feel him all over me. From the moment his lips touched my bare skin I felt a thrill go through me. From the top of my head all the way down to my toes it traveled, and it was the most amazing thing ever.

He started out soft and slow, knowing that we were both new at this. That was perfectly fine with me, it felt more intimate anyway. He kissed me softly down my neck to my shoulder and then down my chest and my stomach. When he reached my lower stomach, it gave a little jolt that I couldn't help. It felt like my insides were dancing at his touch there. I reached down and placed a hand on the top of his head to run my fingers through his hair and he raised his eyes to meet mine. His look was questioning, asking me if I wanted him to go on, I didn't need to saw anything at that point. I simply reached down and slip the last of my clothing off for him, receiving a dark smile from him that sent more thrills down my body.

I knew this day was coming, for the last few months. From the first time I knew that I loved him to the moment that he said three words to me that light up my entire being like the noon day sun, and then to the moment he asked me a question that I was ready for. And now, here we were. We belonged together, now and forever. I am not Lucy Heartfillia anymore, I'm Lucy Dragneel now. And on this night, the first time that I allowed myself to be with him not just in spirit, but also in body was the most incredible and sensual….

"GROSS!" I cried out, slamming the diary closed and throwing it across the room where it hit a boy about my age in the head. He shouted and held a hand to his head then turned his angry gaze to me.

"Dammit Nashi, if that thing pisses you off so much why in the hell are you still reading it?" He growled at me as he stomped away.

Because it's all I have of them. I said it in my head. It was true, my mother's diary was the only thing I had of hers right now so I wanted to read it as much as I could and learn everything I could about her.

If you are reading this and you saw that last thought, you probably think that my mother is dead. She's not, she's alive and well in Fiore with her husband and their guild doing whatever it is that they do in that world. I was born there, as well as the rest of my friends here. But then before we all turned two years old some dick bag stole all of us from them.

The guy that got hit with my mom's diary? His name is Silver, him and his twin sister Lynne were taken on the same day I was. Simon was taken almost a month before anyone else, along with his younger sister Elena.

There was ten of us total and our lives have in in chaos. We didn't meet each other until a few months ago, and none of knew if our parents missed us. You see, when we were taken from our parents we were placed in the bubble things that are just outside the world that we were all born in. We had no idea how to get out of these bubbles, and no idea if there was another way in. We didn't even know if anyone else knew if we were even here. On top of that, found out the hard way that time moved differently there. For us, it's been years. For example I just turned fifteen, but we learned recently that it's only been six months or so for our parents. Did they miss us? Did they still want us back? Better question…would they want us back knowing that we were so much older and all the hell that we went through?

Natsu

When I woke up this morning I didn't think that I would be breaking my back to dig up stupid weeds. But when Lucy decided that she wanted a garden, and after everything that happened in the last year, she got a garden. While she sat on a stool and worked on her little garden map of where everything was going to go I was busting my ass with the stupid rake and hoe digging out the weeds and making the path that the seeds were going to go. I made sure that I didn't complain, she smiled for the first time in months when she told me about the garden.

"Hey, Natsu?" she called out to me. I stood up and stretched my back out as I turned over to her.

"What's up?" I asked, begging her to keep talking. I hoped that it kept on, I don't think I could take her silence again.

"What do you think about an apple tree up there close to the road?" she had her face in her note book, so she didn't see me grimace.

"I don't think that's a good idea. If you want an apple tree it would probably do better in the back of the house, it would get more sun."

She looked up at me and flashed that smile that I loved so much. "Oh that's perfect! Thank you!" then she bent back down and started to scribble more.

I sighed and touched the top of the hoe handle to my forehead. Yes, I would give anything…everything, to keep that smile on her face. Because I knew that I never wanted to hear her scream like she did that night, ever again.

Six months ago

We were dead asleep, it was probably somewhere around three or four in the morning when I felt the bed shift as Lucy got up. I could hear our Nashi crying from her crib that was next to our bed. I didn't bother to get up, she was hungry and there was nothing I could do about it. Lucy lifted our daughter from her bed and took her out of the room to feed her. I closed my eyes again and let myself drift back off, knowing that those two were just fine.

I don't know how much time had passed before the most horrible sound ripped me from my dreams. It was a scream, and I knew it was Lucy, but it was unlike anything I had ever heard. From two rooms away I could hear and feel the pain, the terror, and the heartache in that scream. I scrambled out of the bed and ran to the living room where my wife was and saw her standing in the middle of the room. She had Nashi's blanket clutched to her chest and was screaming over and over again. I didn't need to ask what happened. The guild had already been through nine abductions over the last eighteen months. I just never thought it would happen to us. Not now, not after we finally had our chance to be happy. Our child, our Nashi, who was just two months old, was now gone from us. If it was like any of the others, the chances of us finding her were very slim.

Present

I shook the thoughts out of my mind and looked back to my wife. We looked, of course. We all did. We were still looking. Almost every other guild in Fiore were helping us look, but so far there had been nothing. It was driving all of us crazy.

Some of us were starting to move on though. For instance, Laxus and Mira just announced that they were expecting again. I think the entire guild wanted to run up to them and hold her mouth shut. No one wanted to say it, but we were all terrified that this next child would be taken as well. I think there was now an unspoken rule that when this child was born everyone was going to stay at the guild hall until the kid was old enough to do magic and fight.

As I stared at my wife an idea crept into my head. It was a crazy idea, but it was also one that kept making its way into my thought for the last several months. Now that she was smiling again, maybe I could just pull it off. So, with my shoulders squared up in determination, I tossed the hoe to the ground and strode up to Lucy with a purpose. She heard me, but only when I was almost right on top of her. She looked up at me with a startled expression and tried to say something but I forced the words out of her mouth when I slipped one hand behind her head and the other around her back and crashed my lips onto hers.

She gave a started sound and tried to fight me, but soon enough she was moving her lips in time with mine. The second I let my lips open, she pushed her tongue through and let it dance with mine.

It had been far too long since I felt this. This passion and warmth from the woman I loved. It was enough to send me over the edge, but I was careful and made myself pull back just enough.

I removed my hand from the back of her head and moved it down and I took hold of the back of her thigh while my other hand did the same. Hands in position, I lifted her and her legs wrapped around my waist. The second she did that all of the blood drained from the top of my body down to my lower limbs. I gave her a low growl that vibrated my chest against hers and she moaned lightly into my mouth. Yes, it had been far too long for the both of us.

I thought about walking us back into the house, but there was an urgency in the way Lucy kissed me that said she didn't want to wait that long. I made it as far as the edge of the garden and to a pile of weeds that I had pulled out of the ground before I set her down.

I sat back on my heels and looked down at her. Her legs were still around my waist and her butt was just at the edge of my knees, making her lower back lift off the ground slightly. The angle made her top slip up to reveal her taut stomach that didn't even look like she had a child eight months ago. Even if it did, I would still find her beautiful. I let my hands run up her side with my thumbs making invisible line on her stomach until I hit her breasts. Once there, I stopped. She was always so sensitive about her breasts. I'm not saying that she didn't want me to touch them, it's the opposite actually. Her skin was super sensitive there, especially since the pregnancy, so it drove her absolutely wild any time I touched her there.

She slid her top over her head and tossed it behind her, leaving me kneeling there with my hands on her, thumbs just under her glorious chest, with her eyes on mine and a look that I hadn't seen in months. It was a look that said I need you and it made the need in myself build up even more.

As much as I wanted to drag it out, I knew that my body wouldn't last that long. I needed her, I needed the feel of her. Her bare skin under mine, and the feeling of her body writhing and pulsating around me. I needed it just as much as she needed me.

The sun was setting when Lucy and I sat down with Happy to eat our dinner. I was always happy to eat at the guild, but since Lucy and I got married she preferred to cook herself and made sure that I didn't go to the guild for food. I couldn't complain, she was a pretty damn good cook.

I gave up trying to help her in the kitchen that first time, so now I am content to sit my ass at the table and watch her with a stupid grin on my face while I watcher my wife cook. Before she was taken from us, Lucy used to hum while she cooked. After, she stopped humming. She stopped doing a lot of things really. But today, it was there again. My grin today was there because as she moved around the kitchen she hummed a song. It took me a while to figure out what song it was, but then I realized it was the first song we danced to at our wedding.

Happy noticed this too. He had his own smile in place while he watched her. All too soon I was pulled out of my wonderful new bliss when something hit the window by the door. Lucy looked up, but I motioned for her to stay there and I went to check it out.

I opened the door carefully and looked out, keeping all of my senses open and searching for any and all signs of trouble. I was about to close the door back, annoyed at getting worked up over nothing, when I noticed an envelope on the ground. It was addressed to Lucy and I, but had no other writing on it. I picked it up and walked back inside more confused than ever.

When Lucy saw me, she put her spoon down and came up to me. "What's that?" she asked, seeing the envelope in my hand.

"I have no idea. It was just lying out there under the window." I handed it over to her and she turned it over in her hands. There was nothing written on the back, but there was a wax seal that sealed the envelope shut that had the image of some kind of bird in flight. Lucy stuck a finger under the seal and with a quick flick broke it and lifted the flap up.

The paper inside was thick, and heavy, and there were only five words written on it.

I know where they are
