"Speaking"
"Sir, a lot of the guild members are wondering why it is you've called off the search for Lucy." A woman asked approaching the guild master.
"I want her powers to grow. She'll have to train if she wishes to keep that brat of hers safe." The master replied, "I want her to get stronger, but more importantly I want her to believe that I have given up."
"You want her to let her guard down." The woman smirked. The master was all about playing mind games, he got off on it.
"Exactly, once I have her back I'll punish her by killing the runt in front of her." He shrugged not caring that he was talking about his own child as well.
Lucy was too weak for their purposes at the moment, and her being free was the perfect way for her to reach the level required for him to get what he wants. "Feel free to explain my plans to the rest of the guild."
"Yes Master." She bowed leaving his office.
AN: Sorry its so short, but this is really only meant as a little filler chapter to introduce the nameless Dark Guild that Lucy is running from.
Next chapter Natsu and Lucy go on a date! As well as other surprises! :D
