MISSING IN THE DARK - Realisation
Meanwhile back at the Guild…
Natsu and the others where sitting at a table thinking about what they had done. Natsu decided it was the time to show the others what he had found in Lucy's. He gave them each their notes from Lucy and then he took out the piece of paper from Lucy's diary... They all read it... that made everyone feel even worse. They were looking at each other in disbelief…. Suddenly Gildarts came out and blurted out" Lucy has temporarily left fairy tail and will be gone for at least one or two years"
Everyone's eyes widened especially team Natsu. This broke the uncomfortable silence that had been in the room already.
" oh " they replied together.
"But may I talk to team Natsu it is very urgent" insisted guildarts
Gildarts began slowly…."Lucy has a curse but not an ordinary curse it is a possession curse and it is slowly taking her body into the dark side."
Every one fell silent, Natsu was the one to break the silence as he said
"How do you know about the CURSE?" snapped Natsu
"Makarov informed me" mumbled Guildarts
"MAKAROV" Team Natsu replied puzzled
" we need to find her NOW!" ordered Natsu urgently
"YOU Can't I was not told where she is? I was warned not go looking for her and they refused to tell me why"
They did not listen they wished to have Lucy back.
" it is our fault in the first place so we will help!, we made her feel weak when she is not, we made her feel like we had replaced her so it is our fault!" they agreed together
"well just KEEP OUT of TROUBLE" insisted Gildarts sternly
As everyone got up and started to leave the room Lisanna entered and approached them.
" what ya doing? She asked Natsu
"Going somewhere" grumbled Natsu
"can I come?"
Before Natsu could say a word in reply to her request Erza kicked him to give him a hint…
" well sorry but it is only a job for team Natsu but I will tell you all about it when I get back k"
"ok" replied Lisanna in a state of shock Not knowing how else to reply to Natsu's statement!
Sometime later…
Team Natsu set off to find their friend. They thought it would best to start tracking Lucy by her scent. However, a month passed and they were still unable to catch up with her trail.
Erza said apprehensively one day "I fear Lucy may have begun to travel…. which means she is getting further away from us us with each step we take…."
Erza was correct in her prediction…. Lucy had begun to travel…but team Natsu were closer than they thought….
Subsequently Lucy was walking towards a town called "Mount Outlook" so she could replenish her weapons. which got its name from the fact that it was overlooking a town called "Ghost Hill Pass" which was extremely close and the villages here protected those in the town below. "Ghost Hill Pass" got its name because the forest at the base of the town was haunted, and was a neglected run down town due to its violent hideous past… Little did Lucy know team Natsu had made as far as this town.
"vanilla and strawberry's" Natsu yelled enthusiastically
"Lucy is CLOSE!"
"We need to find her" remarked Gray
As Natsu, Gray and Ezra ran to find Lucy, she was nowhere to be seen… So they headed to "Mount Outlook" to continue their search for their friend. But unknowingly to them Lucy had just left. Lucy was finished replenishing her magic weapon's. They nervously continued on their search…
As Lucy advanced on her journey….….Angelina resumed her conversation with her.
"If you pass your test on how to handle your spirits attitude I will give you this celestial dagger!" Angelina boldly declared.
The dagger had a black and silver handle with a precious golden blade with small opaque pearl swirls in the middle of the blade.
"It's amazing!" the Blondie replied as her face brightens up in awe "But how did you get it?" She asked puzzled but feeling completely overwhelmed at the sheer beauty of the dagger.
"ehhh…. just be grateful" mumbled Angelina.
After they returned back Angelina ordered Lucy to summon Aquarius.
" but" said the Blondie cautiously
"Just do if you want to stop her attitude " said the black hair girl
So Lucy summoned her and she warned Lucy to be aware that she would be in a bad mood. Angelina threw a small pebble at Lucy to remind her of what she was meant to-do. Then Lucy focused with pure determination.
"ok Aquarius sto-stop with the att-attitude "Lucy said trembling
"oh well guess what maggot you can't so that I am going to see my boy..."
"ye ye I know" said the blondie
With that Aquarius left and an eerie silence descended…
"Now for archery followed by learning how to collect more magical energy but not too much after that incident." Announced Angelina
After training Angelina and Lucy ventured to the nearest town which was at least 5 miles away the town was called " Hill of Light". Before entering the town, a woman approached them at great speed and she let a piercing scream. As Lucy watched she noticed she was limping and had a sphere in her chest! Lucy ran over to help her. Blood stained her white silk dress and her hands as she helped the woman.
"RUN!" screeched the woman
Suddenly people were running from every direction. Lucy looked up and saw a terrifying creature with red wings and a feathered body. The feathers where red with black running through them. As a man ran past, the feathered creature threw a spear at the man. It hit him in the leg. He fell to the ground and just as he fell another one pierced his left hand, he screamed in pain.
Lucy summoned Leo and Virgo. Virgo dug a hole and made a tunnel outside the town, the people started to crowded around the hole trying to escape the demon like creature. Another person screamed as a building collapsed on her. To everyone's horror people just started falling, he was killing them for fun! Leo then started fighting the creature. He hit the creature with tremendous force and forced it to spread its wings and fly off. Leaving buildings on fire and people dead. Lucy was covered in blood.
Virgo approached Lucy and whispered to her "here is some clothes from the celestial world miss"
"thank you Virgo" said the Blondie with gratitude
Virgo and Leo left just as quickly as they had appeared. The robes he gave Lucy where blue, black and gold. It had a frilly collar that was pink and sleeves that where tight at the top and loose at the bottom the dress was blue with black flowers the dress went down to her knees.
"it's beautiful but I need to help the injured people!" Lucy replied urgently.
