Allo, everyone! Sorry for another short chapter! I just can't seem to write any long ones, right now! I hope you like it!

Natsu's eyes shot open. He heard screaming. Someone was screaming. Lucy.

Her eyes were squeezed shut, tears escaping at the corners. Her pale face contorted into a look of pure and utter terror which sent shivers down Natsu's spine. After few seconds, she let out another blood-curdling scream, chilling him to the bone. Her eyes shot open, but he could tell she was still asleep. Her chocolate eyes were stained deep purple and painted with an exotic design. He had to wake her up. He had to.

He began shaking her violently, shouting in her ear, "Lucy! Wake up! Lucy!"

Her eyes flew open, revealing absolutely horrified brown orbs. Her pupils zoomed around the room, scanning it for any possible trace of her dream.

"N-Natsu?" She had just watched him die, was he the real thing?

"Lucy!" He grabbed her shoulders. "Lucy, is this the first time you've had these dreams?"

She shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

"How long?" his eyes were full of concern.

She managed to choke out a feeble "Three."

"Three what? Times? Days? Weeks?"

Lucy nodded her head.

His eyes widened. "You've had this dream for three weeks!? Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I-I didn't want to w-worry you," she whispered.

"Luce, too late. I'm worried. We have to get you to the guild. Right now," he scooped her up in his arms and rushed her to Fairy Tail.

She didn't protest, burying her face in his chest. Just his warmth, his smell, was enough to brighten her mood. She knew that he was here, alive and breathing, right next to her.

"Gramps, Mira, I need to you take a look at Lucy!" Natsu knew that they would be the only two still there at this time of night.

Surprisingly, Gray and Erza were there, too, along with Levy, Wendy, Carla, and Happy.

"Natsu?" They all said at once.

"Lucy needs help!" He rushed her to the infirmary, closely followed by the group.

Once she was safely on the bed, he realized that she was asleep again.

"No, Luce! You need to stay awake! Come on!" he shook her, forcing her eyelids open.

She gazed around at the crowd before her. How did she get here?

"Lucy's been having nightmares, and I stayed with her tonight, but when she opened her eyes in the middle of the dream, her eyes were all purple-y and weird. She said she's been having the same nightmare for three weeks," Natsu quickly explained.

"Why didn't you tell any of us?" Erza asked.

All Lucy could do was shake her head.

"Lucy," Makarov spoke. "What was your nightmare about? I need you to be as specific as possible."

Slowly and quietly, Lucy relayed every detail she could remember from her dream. It shattered her very soul, but she continued. She told them how they were all brutally murdered in front of her, and how she had been held captive. She explained that she was harshly beaten, but forced to live on without her friends.

With each word, everyone's eyes seemed to grow bigger and bigger.

"Mm." it was Makarov who broke the silence. "Lucy, I believe you are under a spell."
