Sorry I haven't updated in a while guys; life has been a bit hectic recently. Aha. Anyway the long awaited endless nightmare update:


Once he reached the top of the stairs his hand reached for the door handle but he stopped. A flood of emotions crashed against him. His body shook. What if's began to soar through his mind. The voices the heart ache the burning desire to charge him held him still in stone. The spirit just watched silently. It was not his place to interfere with the emotions of a love sick child. Instead he just waiting. Natsu battled with his thoughts for what seemed like hours. Rushing voices tried to convince him of different things. The only thing that suddenly caught him off guard was the sudden heart ache feeling that reminisced in his mind. The feeling when he held onto Lucy as her life started to slip through his fingers, her final words to me. 'I love you' the words run in his ears like a stinging reality. A small smile tugged at his lips surprising the copy cat. He took one deep breath and sighed. He hand clasped the handle without hesitation. The handle turned smoothly as he swung the door open quietly almost silently. Natsu was followed by a the feline into the room.

A beautiful blond sat gazing out at the happy town as long golden locks flowed down her back. She wore a white silk dress falling gracefully on the stone floors. Small tears of joy trickled down her flawless ivory skin. She took a small sigh then turned to see a pink-haired boy in her bedroom. Her chocolare brown eyes watched his gaze intensly. "I've been waiting. You left me so long ago." she whispered transfering her gaze back into a distant look out the window.

"Luce..." Natsu whispered.

"I know Natsu," she replied coldly. "You were busy. It's okay becuase you're here now!" She laughed jumping up to have her chocolate brown eyes glowing happily at Natsu. His was completely lost. She was still as cheerful as always. "Everyone's been waiting for you to get here ya'no. We wanna do a mission. But team Natsu, It included you. Natsu!" She leapty happily over to the star struck boy. "Natsu are you okay you don't look well. Do you wanna go back to your room. Oh yerh! you havn't seen your room its right next to mine!" She giggled.

"Wow. Luce. You haven't changed!" He laughed.

"What do you mean?" she cocked her head to the side, confused.

"Well I came here expecting a strange...new Lucy. But nope your definatly the one. Your the real Lucy."

"Of corse I'm the real Lucy what else would I be?" She asked curious still at the confusing boy in her room. "You are strange Natsu." She laughed. Her funny little laugh twisted like a knot in his stomach.

"Luce-" He began. Lucy had swooped up his hand in hers and pulled him towards the window.

"Look Natsu. Everyones so happy. families, friends, lovers all getting along so well. You could say it was a dream for everyone to be this happy." Her gentle eyes watched over the lively town with a small smile on her lips. Her hands still held Natsu's. He watched Lucy's joy spilling in just a small smile. 'Would it be wrong to break her from this happiness...' Natsu thought to himself. She began to entwine there fingers together and laid her head gentle on his shoulder. Her admiration for the town began to scratch at Natsu's mind. Strawberries and Vanilla filled his nose, her hand was so soft. She was so happy. How could he possible rip her away from the joy she feels now. 'But this isn't real!' a voice snapped in his mind. But it was right. His hand squeezed Lucy's hand. He slowly shuffled round to be talking face to face with his blond mage. The dragon slayer didn't know where to start. His hand held firm and his eyes glared softly into her beautiful brown eyes. "Lucy..." He began and his face dropped. Lucy began to feel a worried pit in her stomach.

"What is it Natsu?" She asked instantly regretting her words.

"Do you remember how we met?" He asked it was a simple question he knew she would be able to answer in a instant.

"Yes, you saved me from a fake salamander who was using banned magic." She muttered still weary of the conversation.

"Do you remember that time when we beat the reborn oracion seis?"

"Yes, I almost got turned into a clock. Natsu what kind of trivial questioning is this?"

"I just need you to answer a few more questions so I can get to my point." He smiled sympathetically at the worried look Lucy had portrayed on her face. She nodded. "Do you remember that mission we took for Hiro Nasaki?"

"Yes... with Hiro's son who tried to put me in Dark abysses." Her voice was shaken and broke at the sentence.

"Do you know what happened after that?"

"I recovered and then we-" She stopped. Her words escaped her. A panic quickly flushed upon her face. "I recovered and...and..." She was searching around the room for memories. Memories for after she recovered. Natsu stood quietly watching her holding her hand tight.

She stopped and gazed up at Natsu's face. Her face dropped. "No...No..." She began to mutter. Natsu nodded her head. She tried to pull free of Natsu's grip, but he held tight. "No!" she wailed. "You're lying!" she cried pounding her free fist into his chest. He grabbed in gently by the wrist and Lucy dropped to the floor. Natsu sat with her; he pulled her close to him holding the crying mage quietly. It must of been hours before Lucy finally stopped crying. Natsu didn't move, didn't speak, didn't let go. When she finally stopped she sat up to look at the boy's face gazing gently upon her.

"I didn't recover did I?" She shook his head. She looked down at the floor. It was finally time for Natsu to explain.

"The spell Dark abysses changed in Dream abysses which would let all your dreams come through. You dreamed for everyones happiness Lucy. Dream abysses is a spell which would try to keep you here promising all your dreams to come through. After you used your magic to defeat nakoi you fell asleep and didn't wake up. No one could find a cure. It had been 3 months since then. Hiro came to visit. He finally gave us an answer to why you wouldn't wake up. You were trapped in this dream world. I travelled into your mind Lucy to rescue you. I made a promise; that i would go to the ends of the earth to save you...always." His hand reached for her delicate face gently brushinig a blond strand of hair behind her ear.

"Thankyou Natsu." She whispered.

"Your welcome Lucy, but we need to leave."

"Leave how?"

"Through the gate I came through, the gatekeeper will allow us back through Lucy but we don't have much time left." His voice became ergent but his gentle simle didn't fade. He leapt to his feet extending his hand out to thhe mage on the floor. "So. Will you accompany me home?" He smiled the gooffy smile that always turned Lucy's smile the right way up. She laughed and placed her hand in his. He pulled her up and they both left the room almost flying down the stairs.

Once they reached the bottom there was a angry mob of towns people and guild members. They watched carefully. "Where are you taking our Lucy!" A small towns child cried at him.

"I'm going home now, but don't worry I won't forget you." She ruffled the little boys hair and he leapt into her arms. Natsu watched Lucy as small tears trickled down her face embracing the small boy. But suddenly two strong arms caught Natsu's pulling his own arms behind his back. And one swooping the fake feline into a net. It was Erza and Gray pinning Natsu and Elfman tugging on the guide cat's collar. Natsu was pinned down with a thump onto the ground. Lucy turned to see what was going on.

"Natsu!" She yelled but before she knew it Mira jane and Levy were holding back Lucy. "Hey what are you doing!" She demanded.

"We can't let you leave Lucy. It's a monster don't believe anything it says." Levy and Mira pulled the struggling Lucy into the crowd as they swarmed around Natsu. Something hit Natsu in the head he could quiet recall what it was but it was a hard hit. Everything began to spin then it went dark.

When Natsu opened his eyes again he was in a brick cell with iron bars. A small blue feline had been trying to rouse Natsu from the unexpected slumber. "Natsu!" It whined. The dragon slayer made a small grumble at his throbbing headache.

"Where's Lucy?" He mummbled pushing himself up.

"They took her into the ajacent room." he whispered. His dark eyes looked over at the wooden door across from him. Quietly he listened in to hear whispering voices. It was Mira and she was talking to Lucy.

"Lucy it came here to steal you, it's lying abut everything. It's just a monster." She growled.

"A monster?" Lucy repeated.

"Yes Lu-chan. Don't believe anything it says it's aim is to confuse you into coming with you and steal your soal." Levy chirpped.

"A monster!" She growled. Natsu couldn't listen anymore.

"Cinnamon!" He screamed out in a echoing bellow. Suddenly a silence spread throught the room before a rustling of chairs. Lucy emerged from the room. Mira and Levy stood behind her.

"What did you say?" Mira growled.

"Cinnamon. The secret ingrediant was cinnamon!" He exclaimed looking hopefully at Lucy. Her face looked surprised at his words. "a monster wouldn't know that only I could know it!" he whimpered. Lucys heart thudded. It's true he's the only person who would know that. A small smiled appeared and disappear again as a confused levy cast a look at her friend.

"What are y-" Mira Lucy cut her off.

"Can I talk to it. Alone." She asked grufley. Mira looked at the sour gaze in Lucy's gaze. She smiled and her and levy back away up the stone stairs back up ot the guildhall.

"Come up stairs when your finished," They smiled leaving. Once they left Lucy smiled at the boy.

"Luce-" He begun.

"Be quiet!" She snapped. He was shocked. Could it be she didn't understand. But then she pointed up to the ceiling and mouthed to Natsu silentlly. "They're listening." He understood. It was a game of secret messages incripted in a dramatic scene he smiled.

"Why are you here?" Lucy growled.

"I came for you," He whimpered.

"What do you want from me?"

"I want you to come back from me."

"Yerh, but we need to leave in 2 hours." happy chirped ergantly. Natsu gasped. 'Only two hours left!' He thought in shock. Lucy saw the worry in his face. She needed to hurry this up. She pulled out etoile. Her hand drew back and whhip snapped against the cell floor next to Natsu's feet.

"Quiet insolent cat. I don't want to hear anymore excuses from the both of you anymore. You will stay emprisoned here till judgement is passed. " she called her foot tapped against a loose stone in the ground and a small echo replied. She sweapt out the room gracefully up to the stairs.

"Oh no we can get out the cell!" Happy exclaimed.

"I'll just knock it down," he tightened his fist and charged it full forced against the iron cross bars. "Iron fist of the fire dragon." He yelled as his fist collided against the metal.

"Wait Na-" it was too late Natsu held his injurded hand in his other palm. "You can't use your magic in Lucys mind." The guide whimpered. Natu shot a cold look at the cat. But then his eye was distracted by a shiny golden key. It was laid were Lucy's whip hit the ground. He scopped up the key a evaluated it carefully. Suddenly a white writting glowed on the key.

'Meet me at the end of the tunnel in a hour -Lucy'

'She was always good at hidden messages' Natsu chuckled at the thought. "Come on happs'" "He called to the feline who came running to his side. Natsu took the golden key and fit it into the lock outside the gate door. It turned easily and the door swung open. He tucked the key in his pocket and ran over to where Lucy was stood. His foot began to pat around looking for the loose stone. Until one stone wobbled under his foot. "Aha!" He whispered. The stone came undone easily. A small passage way. It was a dark tunnel. He instantly leaped down followed by the blue exceed. Natsu pulled the stone back over his head fitting it back in place.


Woop! Lucy's so smart!
