Chapter 2: Lucy's Disappearance
Lucy's POV
I woke up when I heard the train whistle go off, signaling that we had arrived at our destination. We grabbed our stuff and walked off the train. Natsu had woken up by the time we got there and was ecstatic to know that the 'devil train' as he called it, had come to a stop.
As soon as we got off the train, we headed towards the dark guild and prepared for the fight of our lives. I still had the bad feeling inside me. I just hope, that for once, my gut is wrong.
Natsu burst inside the front doors and began attacking some of the minions. We had left Erza up to dealing with the boss of the guild, as Natsu, Gray and I, took care of the lackeys. I called out Taurus and used my Taurus transformation. I used my celestial whip as well and took out a lot of the lackey's. I suddenly sensed something dark watching me. I turned around and found no one there.
"Wow, you can actually sense my presence. Good job." A mysterious voice told me. I whipped around and saw a man in a black hood floating above me. I got into my fighting stance and prepared to fight. As I charged at the man, I noticed that he was holding a staff. His staff began to glow.
"Lucy! Look out!" my teammates called out to me. A large beam of magic power shot out from the staff. I was able to dodge the beam, or at least I thought I did.
"Lucy! Below you! Below you!" Natsu yelled out to me. I looked below and saw a black hole, quickly forming below me. I didn't have enough time to escape and fell through the hole. I suddenly fell unconscious as I was eternally falling in the abyss.
Natsu's POV
"Lucy! Look out!" I yelled towards the blonde. I ran as fast as I could towards her, luckily she dodged it in time. Although, I couldn't stay calm for long, as the man's staff began to glow again. He shot another black beam at the ground, underneath Lucy. I noticed a black hole forming underneath her.
"Lucy! Below you! Below you!" I yelled at her, hoping that she would get out of the way in time. I tried to get to her, but there were too many lackey's preventing me from reaching her. I saw her fall into the hole. I reached the gaping hole in the ground, but it was too late. She was gone. The hole disappeared. Lucy was gone. She vanished.
"No…" I fell onto my knees and punched the ground. How could I have let this happen. I should've protected her. Anger started boiling within me. I couldn't hold it in any longer.
"That's one Fairy down. Now for the rest of th-" I grabbed the man and pinned him to the wall, throwing away his staff.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!" I yelled at the man. "WHERE IS SHE!"
"He. You won't be able to find her again. I've transported her to another world." The man evilly grinned.
"Tch." I punched the man in the face, causing him to go unconscious.
"Let's go tell Master what happened." Erza said. "Maybe he knows how to find Lucy."
"Fine." I shrugged. I walked outside with my head hanging down. I prayed that Lucy was ok.
~ With Lucy ~
"Hey, she's starting to wake up!"
"Where did she come from?"
"How did she get on our ship?"
"Who exactly is she?"
Questions from voices I didn't recognize filled my head. I slowly opened my eyes and found myself surrounded by strangers. I sat up quickly, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest. A small reindeer came over and put his hooves on my shoulder and laid me back down.
"You shouldn't be getting up right now. You were just unconscious in the water. You should be resting for now."
I looked around and saw many strange looking people, staring at me. I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, and I fell into a deep sleep.
