?'s POV:

I watch as he passes me smiling idiotically about visiting Lucy. His white scarf fluttering around his neck as he runs past. Yes. That's right. Smile whilst you can... Tonight you'll feel my suffering.

Lucy's POV:

"That is odd. I've never heard of someone feeling pain in their sleep. And this dark aura, can you describe it in any other way other than dark?" I spoke to happy as I walked over to my bookshelf there has to be something on this...

"I don't know how else to describe it. It was dark and evil, like a monster that was coming to eat me. I was so scared..." Happy trailed off as tears started forming in his eyes. "I never thought I would be that scared of Natsu..."

"Don't worry Happy. I'm sure its nothing, look I'll call Levy on this lacrima to see if she knows anything. It'll be fine, trust me." I stroked Happy's head and spoke in a reassuring tone. He nodded, but kept his head low. To be honest if I was him, I would be scared too. I hope Levy knows something.

"Hello?" Levy's face appeared on the lacrima I was holding in my spare hand. "Oh Luce, What's up, Is your book ready yet?" She asked in a hopeful tone.

"Sorry Levy." I sighed dramatically "No story yet-"

"Awww Luuucceee, you need to hurry up with your story, I really wanna read it..." Levy said pouting.

"Yeah well it will be done soon. Anyway I called you to see if you know anything about cases of people feeling pain in their sleep..." I said to her, I'm getting more serious now.

"Pains whilst your sleeping are quite common, they're often caused by overexerting yourself in the day, and aching muscles, you should know this Luce, its pretty simple stuff..." Levy replied whilst frowning.

"No I mean real pain, like burning in your sleep. Oh, and a... dark? A dark aura around the person." I spoke slowly so that I didn't mess up what I was saying. I had to show Happy that Natsu was fine. And myself...

"Burning? And a dark aura? Let me just check, I'll be back in a moment." Levy's face disappeared off of the lacrima, but I knew she was still there as I could hear shuffling in the background. It was probably going to take her ages to find a book about what Happy descri-

"Ok, this is what I found." Levy's face appeared back on the lacrima, and made me jump. Levy read the book she had in her hands with her wind-reader glasses, her brows furrowed as she read. Suddenly she shut the book she was reading abruptly and looked at me, through the lacrima.

"Lu-chan, can you tell me the symptoms again?" Levy spoke with a solemn look on her face.

"Ummm, sure, feeling a burning sensation in your sleep and being surrounded by a dark aura." I spoke slowly again so that Levy could find out what was wrong. It wasn't bad was it? Natsu isn't in trouble, is he?

"Lu-chan, you don't know anyone who is experiencing those symptoms do you?" Levy spoke very seriously.

"I do, that's why I'm asking you, Happy wants to know too. Its nothing bad is it?" I noticed a hint of fear in my voice and mentally cursed myself, as I hear Happy begin to sniffle behind me.

"Lu-chan, who?" Levy was frowning again and she sounded... was that sympathy? "Lu-chan, who?" she repeated herself.

"Natsu." The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them and a horrified expression crossed Levy's face. "What Levy? What is it?" she was beginning to scare me.

"ok, Lu-chan I'm on my way, get him to lie down on your sofa or something." Levy spoke rapidly and it took me a moment to process what she was saying.

"What do you mean get him to lie down? Levy tell me what's wrong?" I was panicking openly now. There was no need to hide it Happy was already crying now.

"Trust me Lu, don't let him out of your sight, I'm leaving now." Levy had shoved her coat on and was heading to her door. "I'll be there in a sec-"

"Natsu isn't here Levy." After I said it, it felt like time stopped.

Levy froze in her steps and stared at me through the lacrima "Lu-chan now isn't the time to joke." When I didn't reply her brows furrowed further "Where is he? Lucy where is Natsu?"

"He went out to buy me ice cream! I don't know where he went..." Oh god what's wrong. I'm scared. I looked up at the sky and prayed to whatever is up there, that he's ok.

"This is very bad..." Levy's last words made me shiver to the bone

Makarov's POV:

I was just going through the property damage fines from the council when Levy's face appeared on the lacrima that sits at my desk.

"Master I have really bad news. Happy and Lucy told me about Natsu's symptoms and I'm not completely sure yet, but I know something bad is happening to him." Levy was speaking rapidly and she was completely breathless.

"What do you think is wrong with him, child." I tried to keep my composure but I couldn't bear it if something bad happened to one of my children.

"I think he's contracted some kind of magic disease. Worst case scenario, he dies..." Tears were forming in her eyes and she looked so small and helpless.

"Where is he? I'll help out as much as I can, child, you don't need to worry." What else should I say in my situation. One of my children could die.

"That's why I'm calling you, Master, we can't find him."

Erza's POV:

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Natsu all day. What's wrong with him? He seemed fine when I went and checked on him, so what had Happy in such a pickle. The Master called everyone's attention to him as he stood on top the second floor balcony.

"Listen up, Levy has just called me on my lacrima and has told me that Natsu has gone missing. She is with Lucy and Happy and." He stopped and took a deep breath in "They believe he has a magic disease and that his life is in danger."

Everyone in the guild hall erupted into noise and shouts could be heard of 'Natsu wouldn't let a disease pull him down' and 'His life is in danger?' here and there.

"Master, I checked on Natsu this morning and he seemed fine." I spoke up in front of everyone and the noise died down considerately.

"I don't know all of the details but Levy said he could collapse at any time." Master was cut off again by all of the noise in the guild hall. I turned to Mirajane and she looked back at me, worry clear on her face.

"Poor Natsu, I really hope that he's ok." She directed her gaze to the floor and clasped her hands together in a silent prayer.

"That's why I am ordering every member of Fairy Tail on a search for Natsu. As soon as anyone finds him contact me on my lacrima, and bring him to the guild hall straight away." Master isn't messing around. I push my chair back and stand up.

"I suggest splitting into groups of two and searching, that way no one will pass over him if he has passed out. Plus its safer as night is nearly here." I say to the guild hall. In return I get a crowd of nodding heads.

"Ok, its settled." Makarov spoke "Let's go and find Natsu!"

Gray's POV:

Wow, Flame brain went and got himself lost... at least that's what I'm telling myself. I really hope that Natsu isn't in any big trouble. I was partnered with Erza to go looking for him and I can tell she feels anxious. Not only is she like Natsu's older sister but I can tell she blames herself for not acting on her instinct when she saw him earlier. I feel like I should speak to her...

"Erza, you don't have to blame yourself for this. You couldn't have known what was wrong with him at the time and I doubt he knew himself. So don't beat yourself up over it." I spoke to her in my calmest voice, trying to comfort her.

She sighed "I know. I know I probably couldn't have prevented this 'disease' but if I had persevered with him earlier he wouldn't be missing right now." She sighed and looked at the sunset from where we were standing. I was about to speak when-

"the sunset is pretty." She murmured to herself "Sunset." She mumbled again "night. Night. NIGHT!" a frightened look crossed her features "We need to call Master. NOW!" she was looking left and right extremely quickly.

"Erza slow down. Why do we need to call Master?" I spoke as to stop her shifting around.

"On my way to Natsu's earlier Happy was speaking to me about Natsu's dream and he told me how he was saying 'it wasn't fair' but he also said 'we're coming tonight' Gray the sun is on its last legs. Natsu is in danger!" My eyes widened, as she reached for the lacrima.

Natsu's POV:

Ouch. I was going to get Lucy her ice cream but I ended up going underground instead. How I got there? I don't even know, all I know is that I fell and hit my head down there, and now it feels like a train rammed into me.

I climb out of the sewers one step at a time and burst out into the open air. Wow how long was I out? It's night already, Lucy's probably worried about me. Oh and Happy. Though I don't seem to remember when he left me...

I get distracted walking past a shop window which is lit up by the lamp placed beside me. I stand looking at my reflection. Something's not right here.

"Hello Natsu. Your time's up. Now it's my turn."

After I heard that everything went black.
