Its chapter 10 already! I am so happy, this has gotten this far thank you all for the support (again) but the thing is I don't really know how to thank you… will Lucy and Natsu finally meet? Maybe, maybe not. In this chapter there will be Lucy's, Natsu's and Aisse's perspective.

Chapter 10 cave

Lucy's PVO

We walked until the sun went down, we followed the train rails. When we finally stopped I let out a gulp of air, my legs were about to give out, even though Aisse had trained me to bear with almost any type of pain, she still pushed me to a point where m body felt it was about to collapse. We built a fire and sat around it, the night had suddenly gotten colder, so I put my hands close to the fire, to warm them up, Aisse threw a blanket my way, I grabbed it and covered myself with it. Aisse took out two loafs of bread for each of us, cheese and some grapes. I used Orgon to let me contain a small flame and toast the bread, when it was golden, I put the flame out and made a sandwich with the cheese, it smelled delicious, probably it was the hunger fooling my mind. I took a bite out of it, "delicious!" I thought, while I was savoring my sandwich, Aisse said between bites:

"If we were so hungry, imagine the guild people, they must be starving and they won't find any food around here"

I looked at my sandwich, suddenly I felt a bit bad, even though I did not know those people, they could be starving and freezing while I was here wrapped in a comfy, wool blanket and eating a sandwich.

"We should go look for them" I said in a small voice

Aisse looked at me with a look that said "are you insane?" then she suddenly understood what I meant and said

"It's pointless, if they have gotten far into the woods, finding them now would be impossible; besides if they are mages they probably know how to take care of themselves, so don't worry"

"Still…."

"Lucy going now, would be a rick for us too, if we went we would be helpless to and we should start looking for a place to sleep"

"I am sorry, I guess I am still too weak" I stood up and picked up some stuff when Aisse said:

"You are not weak, you are compassionate and that is a rare quality in humans, don't lose it, but don't take it to the extreme either" she picked up the rest of the stuff and we started walking. We found a small cave and decided to sleep in it. Then we decided who would take the first watch, even though there wasn't much danger for Aisse and me, we still didn't know what took the trains and it could be out there….

Aisse took the first watch, when I close my eyes I immediately fell asleep, I was too tired from walking that day, as I drifted away I heard Aisse say: "get a good rest because tomorrow will be tougher".

Aisse's PVO

I watched Lucy fall asleep, how long had it been since I had shared so much time with another human being? I looked up at the moon, it was shining in its full potential, and it illuminated everything, so I could make out every detail of the trees out there. The sturdy branches were full of moss and small phosphorescent mushrooms, it looked like magic. "I need to show this to Lucy next time" I thought, but I shoved it away, I couldn't get too close, not after "that" happened, I didn't deserve to have a friend. I looked up at the sky again and remembered the time when Loke and I met

Flashback

I was walking through my castle, when I heard footsteps, very light, but they were close, I quickly hid in the shadows and waited for the mysterious figure to pass, it was one of Lucy's spirits, the lion. I had seen him before when I met Lucy in the field, he was hiding probably to protect her, so I decided to toy with him, I waited till he moved farther away and started following, it didn't take long till he noticed me, but I was faster so I slipped past him without noticing and when he looked back I was already in front of him.

I was a bit mad at Lucy, she came here on her own but she did not trust me, strange girl.

I wanted to clear my doubt so I said: "what are you doing here?"

He did not answer, he just stood there and stared at me, he was staring in complete disbelief, and he was probably still processing how I passed him, without him noticing.

I smiled and said: "well aren't you going to answer"

He snapped out of his trance and said "I am looking around to see if this place is safe for Lucy"

I smiled again, so it wasn't Lucy who didn't trust me but her spirits, I wanted to assure him that Lucy was safe here, after all I did not intend to do her any harm, so I said: "aren't you a good spirit, taking care of your master. But I can assure you Lucy is safe here!"

I could feel the tension in his voice, when he answered me, he did not trust me one bit. Such a strange creature, he was so powerful and yet he was scared of me, no he was scared of what I could do to Lucy; I wanted to test him, how far would he go?

I walked forward, closing the gap between us. When I got close enough so that our noses touched, I stared at him, his breathing accelerated and he stepped back. I was about to burst out laughing, but I controlled myself, after all I wanted to see his aura, to see if he was speaking the truth.

When I couldn't help myself anymore, I stepped back and started laughing, the tension suddenly disappeared, and we chatted for a while. Yet he never came to talk to me again, and whenever he looked at me it was as if he knew what I had done in the past, I wanted to ask him but his eyes were only judging me so I decided to wait until he felt at ease.

I sighted even today with Lucy around, he still managed to ignore me, and "I am beginning to think that he actually knows something" I whispered. I decided to shove those thoughts away and concentrate in the trees around me; the deep green of the moss, the crispy red of the flowers hanging from the branches, the small owl nest on the top, the strange pink object that was moving. I stopped for a second: "strange pink object?" I decided to go see if it was dangerous or just a strange animal, but I did not wake Lucy up after all she needed to sleep. I went closer hiding between the shadows, very silent, the figure moved and I followed it, keeping an eye on our cave.

I walked, trying carefully not to step in dry leaves. The figure finally stopped and picked up a fallen branch then it blew fire onto it. "Could it be a dragon?" I thought alarmed, but then my question was immediately answered, when the figure walked to a small clearing where three other figures were sitting, and they were all clearly human. I almost let out a gasp when I saw their guild marks, they were mages from fairytail, I could never let them spot Lucy or me, but on my sudden panic attack I accidentally stepped on a dried branch, making a loud notice

"Who is there?" said a feminine voice

"Show yourself coward!" said another voice, which was a bit boyish.

I decided to run away but instead of running in the direction of the cave, I lead them the opposite direction. I wanted them as far away as possible form Lucy.

I stepped onto the clearing and started to run, like if my life depended on it.

Natsu's PVO

When we arrived at the train station the manager immediately accepted, without asking for our guild marks or anything. He showed us the rail that the trains that disappeared followed, so we decided to followed to, in case we could witness one of those mysterious attacks.

The whole way whenever Lisanna suggested something Gray and Erza would ignore it; once Lisanna fell down but neither did Erza or Gray help her out, they just continued walking.

Angrily I screamed at them:

"What's wrong with you guys? Isn't she our team mate?"

They ignored me and continued walking, I lifted Lisanna up, and put her on my shoulders

"Its fine Natsu you don't have to"

"Let him do it Lisanna, he is already used to it"

"Is he?"

"Yeah, he used to carry Lucy…"

I interrupted him and said "Happy not now, let's go"

"Aye" said happy in a low voice, he missed Lucy a lot and he could not get over the fact that talking about her was a taboo.

"I ran until I was in front of Erza and Gray.

"What's wrong with you guys, she is hurt"

"Then let her go back"

"What! She is our friend you know"

"I am fine Natsu really"

"Flame brain, she says she is fine so let her walk back to the guild"

"Hey!" I was about to say something back when Erza interrupted me,

"Natsu, Gray stop, I am sorry I have been behaving like a child, but Natsu is right we can't keep on going like this"

"What?" said Gray disappointed

I smirked and said: "see told you"

Erza hit my head and said: "if we want to finish this mission we will have to cooperate, all of us" and she looked at Lisanna then at Gray and me.

Gray tried to protest but Erza gave him a look that made him shut up, we walked in silence until nightfall, the weather was getting colder and we decided to stop for the day.

The others sat around a fire and I went to look for wood, Happy stayed because he wanted to eat the fish Erza was going to hunt.

So what did you guys think? I hope you liked it! If you have any suggestions please tell me! Also for Next chapter it will continue from Natsu's perspective and there will be a bit of Gray's. There could also be some of Lisanna's perspective to see what she is scheming but maybe not.
