HEY GUYS. I posted this later than I ment to. PLEASE REVIEW. Or favorite. either one. BTW this is Book 3 of the Atlas Nightmare series. The first one is Hide and Seek written by Hannah, book 2 is Lost and Found written by Me (Natalie/ Nerdy Nat) and this one is written by both of us.

Erza and Jellal followed Happy to Lucy's apartment.

"You ready?" Jellal asked.

"Yes. She's my friend. She can't stay locked up forever, how else would she find him?" Erza said.

"Guys come on, we have to go in and help Lucy," Happy said, with the now forever presence of sadness.

Erza reached up and knocked. "Lucy, it's me, Jellal, and Happy. Can we come in?"

There was only silence.

Erza tried turning the nob and found it was unlocked. When they entered the house they were met by darkness, and the sound of crying.

"Lucy?" Jellal called out.

Happy, able to tell where the sound was coming from, flew over to Lucy and snuggled up with her.

"H-Happy," Lucy said.

"It's okay Lucy, we will find him."

"H-Has Master or Erza told anyone we were dating? I-I don't want anyone to know y-yet."

"No we haven't Lucy, we always would respect your wishes, but as your friend it's my job to help you. I know what it's like to lose a loved one, and you know that. And I understand he's not dead, so we have to go find him. He's out there. I know it. Think of what he would want you to do," Erza said.

"H-he'd want me to," she stopped to wipe away her tears and to stand up. "He'd want me to stand tall, and help the guild. He wouldn't want me to stay here and cry. He'd want me to be strong and find him, like he would find me!"

Your absolutely right, Lucy," Erza said. "He'd want you to find him. He wouldn't want you to cry like this. So come on, and help us find Natsu."

"Yeah, I'm coming, thanks guys," Lucy said standing up and wiping her tears.

"Now, we have to go see the master. He said he wants to speak with you," Erza said.

"Ok, I'm ready," Lucy said.

~when they found Macarov~

"Erza, Jellal, Happy, I must speak with Lucy privately," Macarov said.

Erza, Jellal, and Happy left the room.

"Lucy, you said Zeref said Natsu is E.N.D.?" Master said.

"Yeah. Zeref said that. He also said Natsu is his brother," Lucy answered.

"That would make sence then, between that information and the information we were given by the dragons, the dragon slayers would be over 400 years old. Also why they couldn't get through the barrier during Laxus's Fantasia insident. Anyway,Natsu is a member of Fairy Tail and all members of Fairy Tail are our family. Including Natsu. He will always be our family and we must find him, and that's why I'm putting you in charge of the search team."

Lucy smiled, I'll finnally see him again.


A/N so how was that? I wrote the top half and Hannah wrote the bottom half. Please review, we'd really appreciate it. Thanks for reading this far.

Now I'm done with this, I'm gonna go browse this website for other fanfics for Nalu XD.
