XOXOX

"What!?" Lucy shouted not believing what she just heard. "Why does he have to go with me?!"

"Would you rather go by yourself?" Cana smirked, taking another swig of her alcohol already knowing the answer. She watched as the blonde huffed a breath and crossed her arms over her large chest.

"I'd rather not go at all." Lucy protested, not understanding why out of all the people here she was volunteered to go. An arm wrapped around her shoulder, bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Come on Luce!" It was Natsu being as cheerful as ever, his signature grin planted on his lips. "It's always more fun when we're together, right?"

Lucy growled lowly at his comment, knowing he was using his words to sway her decision. Thinking rationally, the blonde knew she was outnumbered in this and no matter what Natsu was going in there, undoubtedly going to drag her in there anyway. She sighed in defeat, feeling the pride radiating off of Cana.

"Yeah yeah, lets go already." Lucy voice shook, not going unnoticed by Natsu. Though she was just focusing on the fear she felt, all of it washed away when a warm hand slipped into hers. Lucy looked down, seeing that the mysterious heat was coming from Natsu. Looking up, she seen Natsu slightly turned away from her, scarf hiding the blush on his cheeks.

"If you're that scared, just don't let go of my hand, okay?" He spoke in a gentle voice, making Lucy's cheeks heat up. She squeezed his hand slightly.

"Okay."

"Aww, how cute." Cana commented, smirking at the two teens. "Just remember, if you two have sex you're probably gonna die."

"We're not doing that!" Natsu and Lucy shouted in unison at the drunk. They heard Gajeel scoff at the scene.

"Yeah, Salamander doesn't even know where to touch a girl at."

"SHUT UP LUG NUT!" Natsu yelled ready to pounce on Gajeel when he felt Lucy tug him away from the teasing group.

"Come on, let's get this over with." She reasoned with him. Natsu let out a growl and an angry glare at the dark haired male before following Lucy.

"You guys have to stay in there at least ten minutes!" Cana told them.

"Have fun Lu-chan!" Lucy heard Levy call out to them as her and Natsu made it into the abandoned cabin.

XOXOX

"Wow, guess this place wasn't called abandoned for nothin'." Natsu pointed out as he opened the creaky door for himself and Lucy. Walking inside, the two shined their flashlights in the dark cabin, knowing exactly why this place was uninhabited. Cots were overturned everywhere, broken toys and glass scattered all over the floor, bookshelves were knocked over as well as stains on the floor.

Lucy felt goosebumps running up her arms. "I-I don't like this Natsu."

"Relax Luce! Nothing bad is going to happen-" Lucy screamed when the door slammed behind the two, enclosing them inside the cabin. Natsu used his free hand to rub the back on his head nervously, even though it did spook him a bit.

"Lucy, it was just the wind chill."

"Natsu the wind isn't even blowing!" Lucy replied, feeling tears build up in the back of her eyes.

He squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Luce, come on. As if I'd let someone else bad happen to you tonight."

The blonde looked over at him, pointing her flashlight in a direction that enabled her to see his face. As usual, the comforting smile and trusting aura were clad on him. She bit her lower lip.

"O-Okay."

The two walked further into the darkness, relying on their flashlights to see everything. Shining his flashlight in every direction, Natsu's eyes spotted something on the ground. He was about to walk over to it when he remembered that Lucy's hand was tightly intertwined with his. "Luce, let go of my hand for a minute."

Lucy's eyes went wide. "Why?!"

"I think I found something cool!" He reasoned. "I'll be right back, promise!"

Hesitantly, Lucy let go on the males hand not moving a muscle. She watched as she walked over to an overturned cot, seeing the item he was talking about.

It made her blood run cold.

It was an ax. A bloody ax at that. Lucy's stomach churned as she seen the dried blood caked on the item.

"Shit…" She heard as Natsu inspected the item. "Makes Cana's story seem true."

As if on cue, there was banging throughout the house. Making Lucy squat down with her hands on her head and scream, the tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Lucy!" Natsu ran over to her, forgetting his own fear as he watched the blonde hunch over in fear. He bent down, throwing his arms around her as the banging on the walls continued. "Calm down! Its just Cana, Gajeel and Levy!"

"How do you know?!"

"Because those idiots will go at any lengths to scare us." Natsu commented as the banging finally died down. He felt Lucy still shaking in his arms so he decided to rub his hand up and down her back in a comforting manner. "Come on Luce, we're almost done."

"I'm staying right here until these ten minutes are up." Lucy stubbornly said, standing up once again still hugging herself.

Natsu sighed getting up. "Fine, suit yourself. I'm going to explore this place more."

"You already found a murder weapon, what else could their possibly be?"

"Theres so much more to be seen." Lucy screeched, nearly jumping out of her skin as she felt the cold rush of wind accompanied by the whispered voice.

Natsu looked at her questionably. "Whats wrong Lucy?!"

"You d-didn't hear that?"

"Hear what?

"That voice… I heard a voice tell me there's so much more to be seen. And it just got… real cold all of a sudden." Suddenly, Lucy's flashlight lost power, making her screech once again.

"Hey Luce it's okay! Your batteries were probably bad or somethin'."

"They were new batteries Natsu. How can they go bad in less than a half an hour?!"

"You have a wild imagination Luce. First the voice and now this? Maybe that's why you're gonna be an author."

"Natsu, I'm being serious!" She shouted, mildly hurt that he didn't believe her.

"Lucy come on, I bet if there was a voice I would have heard it too."

"Do you hear my voice now?" The two teens stiffened with fear. Lucy recognized the voice didn't rush by her like it had the last time, it actually had a source. Body trembling, she looked to the back of the cabin. Her heart stopped at the sight.

"Who the hell is there?!" Natsu shouted, sounding as brave as he could with his shaking form. He heard the whisper this time, feeling guilty for not believing Lucy in the first place. "Gajeel, this isn't funny!"

"N-Natsu… l-look…"

He heard Lucy's stuttering voice through his ears. Using his flashlight, he seen the direction she was looking in. His body twisted, sights set on the back of the cabin.

His eyes widened.

His heart rate accelerated.

There standing was what looked like a man. He was clothed in all black, blending in with the shadows of the night. He had the worn out ax in his clutches.

Natsu's flashlight began to dim until it was fully pitch black in the cabin.

A cold wind rushed by the teens along with the same demonic whisper.

"Two more children to add to my collection."

XOXOX
