MISSING IN THE DARK - Nightmares

Before natsu ran out he caught sight of some ripped pieces of paper in the bin. He carefully sorted through the paper and gradually pieced it together only to discover it was a note in Lucy's handwriting. When Natsu finally had it pieced together he started reading it. It said

"Today was sooo bad Lisanna asked me if she could go on another job with team Natsu I was sooo angry! but I said yes anyway. Even though I really wanted to say NOWAY! When I wanted to talk to my team she would interfere not all the time though. I don't think she means it but still I will go and train to get stronger. If it is still the same when I come back I will leave fairy tail forever and not stand in her way. I know it is a bit much but I love my team and I care for them so if I am being replaced I will leave for good"

Natsu gathered up all the notes and brought them with him. He ran all the way to the guild without drawing a breath. As he started to catch his breath and thoughts he handed the notes to everyone, Levy was the first to cry. Lisanna entered the room and headed straight over to Natsu and proceeded to asked if he wanted to go on a job again! Natsu turned abruptly to face Lisanna and said sharply

"stop asking... can you not get the point... NO!"

"But" replied Lisanna in disbelief at Natsu's harshness towards her

"NO sorry but NO" Natsu firmly answered

"oh ok" Lisanna walked off in shock at the outcome of their conversation

mean while

Lucy managed with sheer determination to get herself up.

She told Angelina "that there was no way she was going to wait a week."

"I wish to start NOW I am ready" insisted Lucy. Even though she was still feeling rather dizzy from her fall but she found the strength to hide that from Angelina.

"If YOU ARE READY...then we shall begin" commanded Angelina. Angelina would not tell Lucy exactly what she had instore for her…

So they started first with hand to hand combat. Angelina made sure though not hit Lucy's head. She didn't want to set her back anymore.

" first we will start with a dagger OK!" exclaimed Angelina with a hint of excitement in her voice.

"ok" said Lucy… "Let's begin"

Days passed and the intensity of dagger training increased. Lucy lost track of the days passing and turning into nights until a week had passed. She finally had mastered all the styles of dagger combat needed.

Angelina turned round and exclaimed "you thought that was intense…... now for swords!". To be sure Lucy made the transition from dagger to sword use flawlessly Angelina made Lucy start with a wooden one.

"No No No you hold the sword like this" said Angelina sternly

"like this?"

"No"

It took Lucy a further 3 days to learn how to use a sword. She picked up the skills rather quickly so after two weeks of mastering the use of a bow, dagger and sword Lucy began to grow eager to work with her spirits. Her confidence was outstanding.

"when will I learn how to get stronger with my spirits?" Asked the blondie

"ehhh next week " advised Angelina cautiously

"ok" excepted the blondie

That night Angelina thought long and hard about moving on to strength with spirit….and she decided it was time the blondie was ready…. "now for morning" whispered Angelina to herself

So the next day Angelina woke Lucy at seven in the morning.

"why so early" the Blondie moans

"Because you need to learn how to become stronger and make your magic last longer when you are fighting and we need to get a head start"

Said the black haired girl which is Angelina … "we need to be on our way now so we have time to reach the distant forest" commanded the black haired one

So Lucy and Angelina started on their way to the distant forest. Once they were in the forest they had to make their way to the deepest part of the forest to a hidden cave. At last they reach the center of the cave, it was full of magic crystals. Angelina came to a standstill and told the Blondie to close her eyes and concentrate on her power and breathe slowly.

As Lucy began to do this she could feel a lot of power flow into her body. Then to Angelina's amazement she started glowing. As quickly as it started the glowing stopped after a few minutes of thinking about what had just happened Lucy began to slowly open her eyes.

" did it work?" Said the blondie

"..."

" you started glowing, you should only start glowing in the second stage this is called resurrecting your magic this stage brings in or try's to bring in magic that in not being used meaning if you keep doing every day you will be able to summon your spirits for longer."

"cool" replied the blondie

"no" snapped Angelina abruptly

"why" said Lucy sounding confused

"Do you know you're the first one who has got to this stage and if you keep going like this you would get so strong... all you would need to do is mention the word die and the person would die...

"You MUST BE WISE" warned Angelina

"I think you need to take a break from the magic training and practice your hand to hand combat"

Ok"

said the blondie with a quiver in her voice

Little did Lucy know that a demon was looking over her and planning the right time to attack...

Lucy was sleeping one night when she had a dream she was at her guild Natsu went over and said they were replacing her with Lisanna. Then a tall dark figure with wings appeared out of the darkness and dragged her by her hair into a forest... it was dark darker than dark it was pitch black and she was lost! Everyone in fairy tail celebrated that she was missing...then a piercing pain hit her. It was her side she was stabbed not once but twice. Blood STAINED the ground. She woke with a blood curdling scream and bolted upright in the bed and she glanced down the bed was wet with BLOOD! Fear struck her immediately. Angelina came running in to the room with Virgo

"are you ok princess?" trembled Virgo

Before Lucy could say anything she fainted with the horrendous pain in her side. When she came to Leo, Virgo and Angelina was there. Watching over her they all looked very worried.

" you have skipped stage three and gone to stage 4 if you get to stage 5 before stage 3 you could be taken to the DARK SIDE" answered Leo with a sound of dread in his voice

" what do you mean?"

"the DDDarkside?" panicked Lucy

" It means you will go missing in the dark side forever!" Leo replied

" I do not want that to happen"

said the blondie

"we NEED Makarov"

That night Lucy was warned if you die in your sleep you might die in real life.

But that night brought more terror to the Blondie in the form of another intense dream. This time Lucy saw Natsu with Lisanna. She got so angry she walked over to them and got a dagger out of thin air and stabbed Lisanna! Then Natsu walks over to her, grabs her by the neck and starts to choke her. Lisanna gets back up with a knife and starts walking over to her. As this is happening Lucy kicks Natsu. He falls to the ground with a thud and Erza appears. She starts kicking Lucy in a terrible rage. The only way out of this is acting…... so Lucy pretends to faint. Once Erza lets her guard down Lucy takes the opportunity to get up and run. Just as before she woke up coughing and trembling… SHE DOES NOT WANT THAT DREAM AGAIN.

"I must talk to the others" ….
