Chapter 1
Whispers
"Hello Fairy Tail Guild! Team Natsu is back!" yelled the hyper Fire Dragon Slayer. "Now who dares to fight me?"
"Welcome back guys!" The sweet voice of the polite Mirajane was heard from the back of the bar. "You must be hungry. Would you like me to make you something?" she asked with a smile.
"Crispy salmon fishy, please!" Happy cheered with excitement. Mira only nodded and went straight to work.
"Gray!" a certain blue haired water mage emerged from the crowd
and ran towards the said ice-make wizard. "I missed you so much my love!" She leaped into the air, planning one embracing him, but with one swoop, he was out of her range and she plummeted to the ground. Not paying any attention, Gray continued to head over to a table and grabbed a seat. Not giving up, Juvia rushed after him.
"Lucy!" A friendly voice yelled in the near distance. I turned my attention in that direction only to see Levy running towards me. "I missed you!"
"I missed you too, Levy, but I wasn't gone that long." The second I finished my sentence her petite arms were around me, squeezing with all her might.
"It doesn't matter." with one last squeeze, she released me. "I've had major writer's block and I need your help, Lucy!"
"Oh, well I can help you with that."I reassured her. Before I could even react, Levy was pushing me down to the ground. "What the-."
"Gajeel! Come and fight me!" Natsu yelled. He apparently threw a chair that was heading in our direction. When I raised my head, the chair was in pieces before Gajeel.
"Bring it, Salamander." As usual, the boys went all out in their little brawl.
"Unbelievable." I said while I picked myself off the ground. "To think they would have anything better to do." I sighed.
"Don't worry Lucy. At least you still have your head." she laughed. "Now come on, I want to hear about your mission. Maybe it will inspire me and get rid of my writer's block." She grabbed my hand and lead me to the table that she was sitting at not too long ago. "So, what happened?" she asked with curiosity.
"We completed the mission with no problems whatsoever. See, we had to-."
"You got the whole reward!" Levy interrupted me.
"Um- yeah."
"Didn't you guys destroy or mess up the mission?"
"No. Why would you ask that?" I was rather hurt, but I knew Levy didn't mean it in a harsh way.
"No, I'm just that saying because, knowing the usual group pairing and the usual outcome of your missions, something must have gone wrong. But hey, you did great! I'm glad!"
"Yeah, there were some close calls, but everything turned out fine."
"I bet it was all Natsu's fault." Both of us looked up and saw Elfman standing next to us. "If Lucy wasn't there, it would have probably been a failure. If he wasn't a real man, then he wouldn't be losing control."
"Oh-no, its not entirely his fault. I think we're just growing into a stronger team." I tried to save the situation. Butt before I could, a roar of aggravation filled the already noisy room.
"Elfman! Do you want a piece of me too?" Natsu yelled.
"A real man would accept." And with that, he joined in the battle.
"Honestly, don't they have something better to do?" I asked in frustration, but Levy only laughed. Maybe it was from all the commotion, or all of the noise, but my head started hurting again. I started getting a little woozy, it felt like I was about to pass out. "Hey, Levy. I'm not feeling so hot. Can we do this another time?"
Levy looked at me with concern "Yeah, sure Lucy. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just a slight head ache. I'll be fine." I said while getting up from my chair.
"Get well soon, Lucy." She yelled as I exited the Guild Hall doors.
The minute I was outside, I knew that walking home by myself had "bad idea" written all over it, but being who I am, I didn't want people to worry about me. I dragged my feet on the pavement of the street with my head raised down, and I had only reached the the market place in town. In the rate I was going at, it was most probable I wouldn't have even reached my apartment. But, even to my amazement, I did, even though it took a longer time than it usually did to reach my home. I inserted the key in the keyhole and twisted. The doors felt like they weighed a ton. When I finally managed to open the doors, I closed them shut and headed immediately for my bed. Before even reaching the fluffy, comfortable goodness, a high pitched ring screeched in my head followed by a sharp pain. "I don't… ughhh.. understand." I stated while grabbing my head, slightly massaging it to relieve some of the pain. Just like before, whispers took over as the screeching sounds started to fade.
"Sun hidden in the Earth" a familiar voice faintly said, but just enough for me to understand it. Even though it was familiar, I could not figure out who it was.
After a few more minutes, the whispers and pain had died down. I opened my eyes and found myself kneeling on the floor next to my bed. I let out a loud sigh and tilted my head down, relieved it was all over. Once I looked down, horror surged through me. One of the wood panels on my floor had carvings of some sort of ancient script, blood covering all of it. Pain returned, but it came from my hand. I looked to my right and saw the tip of my fingers bleeding. "Did I do this?" I whispered. Freaked out I race to my communication lacrima and called the person I knew would be able to help me.
"Yeah what is it, Lucy?" Levy asked with a yawn.
"Levy! Levy, please, I need your help!" I frantically said.
"Lu, its three in the morning… what happened." I froze. I left the Guild at around eight or nine. I knew I took a little longer to get home but not six hours. I remembered I catching a glimpse of my clock before I lost it and it read nine twenty-five. Could it be- "Lu? Are you okay." I snapped out of it and looked at my friend who had a deathly worried face plastered on.
"Get here as fast as possible."
