Chapter 1

*huff huff*

Come on Lucy you can do it, you can catch him! I told myself. You are not as weak as you were!

Natsu and I were doing a job running after these guys who had apparently been kidnapping girls. Natsu couldn't wait to get started, it pissed him of that someone was doing shit like that, but he didn't come close to the energy I had about this job. This wasn't just business, this was personal.

I was running down the alleyways of Hargeon trying to catch this bastard, when he made a turn I hadn't seen coming. I rush around the corner and... Fuck! Were did he go?

I started to walk down the alleyway looking for this asshole. I was looking behind a dumpster when the hairs on the back on my neck started to tingle.

Shit. "Who's there?" I commanded as I spun around to face my assailant, but he wasn't there. "Show yourself!" Silence was the only answer I received. "That's it! Open Gate of the Lion! Leo!" As Loke materialized from golden light he looked at me with his Charm-the-Ladies smile.

"Yes my love what can I do for you?"

"There is a kidnapper hiding somewhere in this alleyway! I need your help to find him and flush him out!"

His gaze darkened at the news. "Of course Lucy. I cannot allow such a hideous man to remain."

As Loke was about to launch his attack Lucy heard something get knocked over in the alleyway. "Wait." she said holding up her hand. "I heard something. Hide."

They both dived behind various debris waiting for the kidnapper to show himself. The longer they waited the louder the ruckus became and the heavier the footsteps. Coming closer and closer, the mage and her spirit waited for the perfect opportunity to strike. Just when the culprit's head came into view Lucy shouted "NOW LOKE!"

" Regulas-"

"GAAHH!" It was a blur of pink as Natsu dodged Loke's attack.

"What do you think you doing Lucy?!"

"OH! Sorry Natsu!"

"Natsu!" said Loke in surprise, "I'm sorry. We thought you were the target."

"Me?! I was coming to find you Lucy! After you took off like that after the guy I lost track of you. I was just tracking your scent!"

"I'm sorry Natsu! It's just that the target went down that way!"

"He did? Maybe that was the weird scent I smelled..."

"Natsu you dummy! What were you thinking? Don't let him get away!" She yelled at him while they started to run, following the dragon's nose.

"Sorry Luce. I was just worried about you that's all." Natsu explained sheepishly.

She blushed at his comment. Stupid! she scolded herself. Focus on the task at hand!

As they were running Salamander caught whiff of a fresh scent."Come on! The bastard went this way!" he exclaimed excitedly as he took off leaving Lucy behind.

*huff huff* Dammit Natsu! Wait for me!

She stood alone at the end of the alleyway catching her breath. She had sent Loke after the fiasco before, so she was truly alone.

Dammit! Why do I always get left behind? She thought angrily.

Little did she know that while she was catching her breath feet silent has velvet were creeping up to her. As she stood up straight a cloth came over her mouth and she was pulled back into the shadows. She screamed through the cloth and with sleepy eyes look in the eyes of her assailant... and recognized them. As her eyes grew big with fear, her captor laughed and whispered in her ear, "The Boss is going to be VERRRY happy to see you again! He missed you Lucy. We all missed our Little Heart."

No. Natsu! was the last thing she thought before every thing went dark...

*whip! Whip! Whip!* "AAAAAHHHH!"

"oh yes! Scream for me baby!" He groaned in pleasure. "Louder baby! Makes it more fun that way!" He said holding my hips against his naked pelvis while one of his goons whipped me.

*Whip!* AAAAHHHHHH! I cried out in pain as I tried to get away. " LET ME GOOOO! Please!" I screamed before I see white. As my vision return's all I see is His face and his raised hand. Instead of anger he had a look of joy to his face. He smiled broadly and sneered "I like you. My little Lucy Heartfillia. You are my favorite. You have such a spirit about you." He grabbed her face and brought hers down to his smiling one. "I can't wait to break you."...

"NNNOOOOOOOOOO!" She woke screaming. She opened her eyes but found no relief. Looking around she saw her living hell. She was still in the same place as her nightmares. The only thing that was different was...

"Welcome back my little Heart. I missed your screaming..."

"WHAT!?" Bellowed the mage who's hair now matched her mood. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"

"I kn-"

"What the hell Natsu!" Exclaimed the icy mage whose voice matched his craft. "How could you lose Lucy? You were supposed to look after her!"

"I Kno-"

"She's Nakama!"

"I KNOW!" The pink haired mage flamed, his shout echoing through the entire guild hall bringing it to silence. "I know..." Natsu admitted dejectedly, clenching his fists. Noticing his worry Erza calmed herself and asked quietly "What happened?"

The Dragon-Slayer sighed, "Lucy and I were in Haregeon doing a job. We had to get these guys who were kidnapping girls. I was pretty fired up for it but nothing like Lucy. It was the most serious I've seen her. Anyway she took off running after this guy, and she was running so fast she left me behind. I started tracking her sent but past a weird one on the way there when she and Loke suddenly attacked me thinkin' I was the guy. Well we took off running towards the funny smell. And then when I thought I caught the bastards scent I sprinted off after him. Turns out there was more than one asshole kidnapper in town and I ended up catching him but when I turned around... Lucy wasn't there." Natsu looked defeated.

The armored mage pinched the bridge of her nose, sighed, and then called forth several maps she always kept with her, setting them down on the table. "Okay, well, let's look at the surrounding area and try to figure out were they might have gone. And were they might have taken Lucy. You said they had a funny smell? Do you think you would recognize it?" Erza asked, all business.

"Of course!" Nastu said proudly.

"Then walk me through everywhere you went. Then we will scour the area."

"Alright! Let's find Lucy! I'm all fired up!"

Natsu and the guild, still full of hope and reassurance that Lucy would be home within a few hours, carried out their plans, unaware that Lucy was already halfway across Fiore, being dragged back to her own personal hell...

Hey guys so I just combined the first two chapter. There was no reason for them to be separate. They were both kinda short and it looked like people were having trouble getting past them so there ya go! Let me know what you guys think! Please remember to review! Until next chapter.
