Hello my peoples, I hope you enjoy this story I will try to update as soon as possible. I'm not very good at that kind of thing, but I WILL try. I have rated this story T for some swearing. Oh, by the way I just got back to school from a trip, so I have some catching up to do meaning I won't have a lot of time to work on this.

The guild hall is very empty. The only remaining people are Natsu's team and Mira.

"We need to take a job! I need rent money!" Lucy screeches out over the silence.

"That sounds like a fine`idea, Lucy." Erza grumbled through a piece of strawberry cake.

"Really! You mean it!" Lucy jumped up in surprise. Erza simply nodded and followed Lucy to the request board. Lucy and Erza were soon joined by a familiar pinkette and Gray. The group scoured the board for a good job with enough money to split between them.

"How 'bout this one?" Natsu said prying off the request board.

"Let's see," Lucy grabbed the flyer away from Natsu and examined it thoroughly,"Please get rid of Empty Thoughts, a local dark guild, and the reward is… HOLY SHIT! 5,000,000 jewels for one dark guild I haven't even heard of." The group gathered around the request now joined by Happy, Carla and Wendy. The seemed to silently agree on this job seeming that it wasn't too hard with a giant reward. They made sure to verify with Mira before agreeing to meet at the train station in an hour. Much to Natsu's dismay.

1 Hour Later

The group gathered at the station and boarded the train with an already-passed-out Natsu. The trip was a mere 2 hours and the group got off (dragging Natsu of course). Still be earlier morning the group strolled towards the client's house (the mayor was the client). They all came to an abrupt halt when the mayor came waddling out from around a corner.

"Help! Help! They took my daughter!" he shouted. The group ran up to him.

"We're Fairy Tail. We have accepted your request and in doing so we will rescue your son." Erza declared

"Thank you so much! They went north!" The mayor shrieked. Erza, Lucy, Natsu, Gray and Wendy took off going north. Soon being followed by the exceeds. They soon came upon a woman in black clothing holding a baby not 3 months old. The woman soon dashed through the trees and through the forest seeing the small child in such a state of distress Lucy was the first to start after her. Lucy finally followed her out of the dense forest and out onto a cliff. The rest of the group soon followed. The woman was nowhere to be seen. The group went to the edge and looked over thinking maybe she jumped. To their surprise all, but Natsu were teleported into the hands of members of the Empty Thoughts guild.

"Finally the chance to kill the Salamander has arised" the woman in black from earlier hissed. Lucy was furious, but glad the woman still had the baby. Only to get the baby back, of course. Lucy was ripped out of her thoughts when the woman in black raised a gun and fired it at Natsu. The next seconds passed by in a blur as Lucy dashed out and pushed Natsu out of the way. Pain erupted in Lucy's torso. Dark red fluids pump out of her as she stumbled back and disappeared over the the cliff. The last thing she heard before she blacked out was a pinkette's familiar call.

"LUCY!"
