Chapter 1:
-Flashback: 7 years ago
Lucy's POV:
I walked with my team, consisting of Natsu, Erza, Happy and Gray. We were walking in a forest to try and find a monster that the mayor had asked us to find for 700,000 Jewels.
"I wonder how big the monster will be." I asked my team waiting for a reply. I was walking in front of them because the rest were lagging behind.
"Hey, Natsu, Gray , Erza were are you going? You need to tell Lucy so she doesn't get lost!" I heard Happy say running after 3 figures walking away from me.
'What's going on? Were are they going?' I asked my self as tears began to stream down my face.
"They think your weak." Said an emotionless voice behind me. There was a man with black hair and red eyes.
"Who are you? How would you know what they were thinking?" I asked the man.
"I know what they think. I can help you grow stronger and take revenge for abandoning you in a dark forest." Said the man, still emotionless. I didn't know if I could believe him or not but I put out a hand as if to say 'Come with me'.
"Please introduce yourself and then I might think about it." I told him strictly. A smile soon crept up on his face.
"My name is Zeref, Lucy." He told me now the smile turned into an evil grin. I began to grow really tired and fainted. Soon feeling someone catch me. Then I faded into the darkness of my sleep.
-End of flashback: 7 years later
Natsu's POV:
It's been 7 years since I saw Lucy. At first everyone were mad at what we did especially Levy. Then Gajeel joined in telling us what we did was wrong. I don't think he would have cared if Levy didn't. Also Happy was mad and 2 days since we abandoned Lucy, Happy never even looked at me beside talk to me. A few weeks later, Lisanna was the replacement for Lucy. Soon everyone began to forget about Lucy except from me, Erza, Gray and Happy.
I sat on a barstool next to Gajeel and Levy talking about something. All of a sudden the guild doors smashed open and everyone took a look to see who it was. A light pink exceed with one blue eye and one with a green eye. She walked in and I noticed Happy stare at her and blush.
"Hmm… She's not here either other wise this place would have been destroyed by now." She told herself to the whole guild.
Happy's POV:
The pink exceed stood and I began to blush when she looked around the room and looked at me. I thought I should get to know her a bit more. I thought it was love at first sight. I went over to her.
"Hello, I'm Happy. Who are you?" I asked her looking in to her blue and green eyes. I noticed her draw slightly drop. 'Do I have some fish left on my face since early?' I asked my self nervously. But before I could wipe my mouth, she began to talk.
"The Happy? The one who's the exceed of Natsu, the fire Dragon Slayer?" She asked shocked. I smiled to myself. 'She already knows me I must be popular!' I screamed inside of me.
"I was… Please can you tell me your name?" I asked her politely trying to sound casual to my fans.
"Oh my! You're the only one from team Natsu my master said was nice! You tried to get them back so they don't abandon Lucy? Oh yeah, my names Rea (A/N: Pronounced Lea in English)!" She jumped up and down then hugged me, "Thank you for trying to save my master Lucy." She whispered in my ear.
Footsteps ran to the guilds entrance and a cloaked figure stood in the doorway. The figure ran in and shouted, "Rea, Your alright!"
Running halfway the figures hood fell off and blonde her trailed behind her. She had an eye patch over her right eye and her other eye was a chocolate brown.
"Lucy! Who knows if one of these people could be from a dark guild? If they found you, you would be kidnapped and be held with your life at risk! With the power you have, who knows if they want to use it for there own!" Shouted a worried Rea. 'Lucy?' I asked myself, 'Lucy's ok?'
Everyone in the guild stood up seeing Lucy was ok.
"Sorry, Rea." She said innocently and pulled her hood back up. She smiled under the darkness of her cloak.
"LUCY!" The whole guild shouted and running to Lucy giving her hugs as well as me. I noticed Natsu, Erza and Gray looked shocked. I knew they weren't happy about this.
"Lucy, Isn't .Z. waiting for us? If we're late you will never be able to control the power you have." Rea smiled at Lucy. Lucy nodded and waved good-bye to everyone and told them she'll come back tomorrow. The guild door's shut and everyone was chatting and smiling. I realised Natsu, Erza and Gray sneek out to follow Lucy.
Natsu's POV
We were following Lucy, wondering why she had an exceed.
"Lucy, didn't you say you were looking for someone? Weren't you looking for your old team for a battle to get revenge?" Rea asked Lucy as they were wondering through a forest.
"That's not the only reason I keep doing this." Lucy told her flying exceed. Rea stopped and stared at Lucy.
"Ooh, Tell me, Tell me!" Rea shouted jumping up and down.
"I kind of thinking I'm falling for .Z." Lucy told her carrying on walking. Something started hurting in me chest all a sudden. 'Why does my heart ache when she said that?' I asked myself.
