I don't know what I'm doing. What the hell am I thinking, trying to start a new series when I can't even keep up with the one I'm doing. But this idea's been fucking STUCK in my brain and I can't get it out. So here it is. I hope you guys think I'm a fucking idiot and tell me to stop, because I know what will happen.

BTW: It's a GraLu.

CHAPTER 1

Tingling every step I turn
My body keeps going evermore
Goosebumps chill my unresting soul
As I search for my
Euphoria

And her eyes flew open.

What the hell was that all about?

Lucy Heartfilia's heart pounded as she breathed heavily in her bed. It was just a dream. Or was it a nightmare? She couldn't even comprehend what she had just dreamed. Or heard. Or saw. She didn't really know what the fuck that was all about. That poem has been haunting her for days now, echoing around her head in confusion. Was she turning crazy? She hoped she wasn't, but the poem drove her on until the point of madness. She would find herself shaking and curled up in a corner of the guild hall, just thinking about those words.

That wasn't euphoria. That was plain insanity.

As she got went into the bathroom to fix herself up, she heard the familiar stomp around the apartment and the loud voice of the fire dragon slayer.

"LUCE~! WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU!" Natsu yelled. Of course it was him, and Happy, Gray, and Erza along with him. Lucy sighed, praying that maybe, just maybe, she could think in peace. That dream, poem, something, was still resounding in her ears and she just wanted to have some peace and quiet. Just her and her thoughts and-

The door was kicked open and there was the rest of Team Natsu.

"There you are! What are you doing in the bathroom?" Happy asked. Lucy sighed.

"I was going to use the BATHROOM until you guys STORMED IN," Lucy yelled. Ouch. That wasn't good for her head.

"Well, we just wanted to tell you that you left your book at the guild. We came here to bring it to you," Gray said.

"That isn't exactly newsworthy for you to INTERRUPT ME AS I USE THE BATHROOM!" Lucy said. She shoved everyone out the door, shut it, and locked it, panting. She held her head in her hands as she tried to calm down. She was sweating and her heart was pounding as if she were sick. When she got up and looked at her reflection, she could see that she was flushed, not because they almost saw her with no panties on, but because the amount of energy inside of her had decreased dramatically. She splashed water on her face, trying to keep her cool and deciding that the guild may not be the place to think in peace. Emphasis on peace.

When she opened the door, they were still standing outside, the book in Happy's paws.

"GET OUT!" Lucy screamed. They scrambled out the window, not wanting to get Lucy angry again. Lucy sighed as she looked at the book Happy dropped.

Or more like a completely blank journal.

It wasn't hers, but she didn't mind keeping it. If no one claimed it by now, it was rightfully hers. Finders keepers, losers weepers, no? She flopped on her bed and took a pen she kept under her pillow. As she opened the journal, words flooded through the pages as if they were always there.

Tingling every step I turn
My body keeps going evermore
Goosebumps chill my unresting soul
As I search for my
Euphoria

"What...the hell...?" Lucy said softly. She couldn't even scream. She was paralyzed with shock and with fear. What the hell is that poem and that book? Could it possibly be...connected? Her eyes were wide as she got up. She through the book away from her as far as possible. Which wasn't really far.

Was she cursed? Lucy needed answers fast, and that meant going to the Fairy Tail archives.

x.X.x

The Fairy Tail archives isn't exactly the most comfy place, but it was one of the most silent places. Mainly because Natsu never came down there. Lucy took in the silence and looked through the archives not exactly knowing what to find. There was no title, no author, no publisher. But there was one hint which was "Euphoria". Euphoria. Lucy knew it meant something about ecstasy, but right now, all it meant to her was pain.

Her hands flipped through the E section of the library, holding the book inbetween her legs when the book started to glow. She took the book out of her legs and stared at it. Gold dust suddenly came out of the book and created a trail, which Lucy had to follow. It led her to the book all the way at the end of the section, which looked equally as old as the book. Her hand shook as she reached to grab it.

It read "Euphoria: The Quest of Insanity". She slowly turned to the first page where words came and was magically written onto the book.

"If you are reading this," Lucy read out loud, "You must have found Rapture. Rapture is a curse, where you will be haunted by insane moments of euphoria that will lead you to do reckless things you may have never wanted to do in your life. Only way to break the spell is to freeze the lacrima that is bound to the book which is found only in deep in the Waas Forest. Be prepared and good luck." Freeze.

She needed Gray. Freeze the crystal and get on with life. She opened the notebook once more and saw that another poem was written.

Questing for my own sanity
I turn to the ice, so cool so true
It may help to chill my shivering soul
As I search to stop thy
Euphemistic madness.
