Zeref's POV

Shivering, I sat in our house, wanting nothing more than to hold her in my arms and let all my problems wash away. But, I couldn't; due to my idiotic actions she was gone, taken away from me forever. I curled up into a ball and laid on the bed, fighting back the urge to go on a rampage and find her myself, but the consequences for that would be devastating to both myself and the guild she loved so dearly. Though, I couldn't, or rather, wouldn't, just sit around and do nothing; bringing a rather depressing aura along with me, I dragged myself to the guild, a place once full of life and happiness, reduced to a place of despair and doubt. I slumped down next to Natsu, Lucy and Mira, who were all staring at a lacrima. "Hey guys, what are you looking at?" I asked, peering over Natsu's shoulder at the lacrima. Without looking up, he answered,

"Check out what Mira found.." Curious, I began reading the page Mira had up, it was an auction website..

"Some sick bastards are selling a girl?" I asked in disgust. These guys were selling off a teen girl like it was nothing! Mira looked up,

"There's an image attached, take a look." She clicked on the image link and pulled up a picture of a girl. She was slumped against a wall, obviously unconscious, gagged and bound and the wrists and ankles. As described, she was skinny and had pretty, long blonde hair; it made me sick just looking at the image. Then, I noticed it. On the sides of her head were little angel wing ornaments, identical to hers. Rage bubbled up inside me and I slammed my fists on the table,

"I'LL KILL THEM. HOW DARE THEY TOUCH HER!" The bastards had taken her and were trying to sell her?! I stood up and stormed out of the guild, now I knew why she was taken, I knew her general whereabouts, and I was going to save her. "Mavis.. I swear I'll find you.. " I vowed, before venturing out of Magnolia's gates, headed for the mountains.
