Guys...I am so sorry.

This chapter sucks so much. I dont know why I cant seem to get this chapter right.

Please dont give me hate for this one. I dont understand it either. I just keep getting worse and worse.

I'll try to make the next chapters better.

Im sorry ;~;

I do not own Fairy Tail.

'Natsu.'

Lucy jolted awake at the thought of him. She looked around. She was in the infirmary. What was she doing?!She should be out looking for Natsu! Lucy shouldn't be laying around doing nothing. 'Lazy bum!' She yelled at herself. Immediately she threw off the covers and ran downstairs to the main room.

Lucy stumbled a little on the stairs, but she made it down safely. Her legs were still a little upset with her. 'Sorry' She apologized inside her mind. Natsu was important though. Her legs should understand! Everyone was gathered around a table with Happy sitting in the middle of it.

"Lucy, I'm glad to see you're awake and well." Erza smiled at her. But Lucy didn't answer. It was quite rude of her, She admitted that, but she had only one thing on her mind at the moment. She pushed through the crowd so she could see Happy. The little blue cat had his head down. Lucy noticed that the gash on his forehead was now gone, and it looked like they had cleaned him up a little. He didn't look as dirty. She leaned forward putting her hands on her knees.

"Happy, where's Natsu?" He opened his mouth but he wasn't the one who spoke next.

"He's already told us where he is. We're about to set off." The Master said from behind. Lucy sighed with relief. She turned back towards Happy and held out her arms. The blue exceed flew over to her and snuggled against her chest. The celestial mage in turn wrapped part of the scarf around him too. They were in the same boat.

"We'll have in back in no time." She giggled feeling giddy. After so long, she could see her best friend again. Her hero.

"We still dont know how many people we're up against." Gray pointed out.

"It doesn't matter." Makarov stood on the table where happy was sitting just a moment ago. Lucy nodded already knowing what he was going to say. "Fairy Tail can take on any enemy." He eyed every single one of them. "Numbers mean nothing when you're up against family. Nothing is impossible for Nakama.

"Well then." Lucy spoke, switching her gaze from Happy to Master and then to Erza. The redhead drew her sword, gripping in tight in her hand. Gray who stood next to her only smirked as he stripped. "Lets go get our pink haired idiot back!"

Natsu felt something pound against his ribs. It was familiar. He'd recognized it as the feeling he had when he was around his friends; his family. In the recent days, or week, or months (Natsu still didn't know how long.) he hadn't felt this at all. But why was he feeling it now?Fairy Tail was nowhere in sight. But there is was, right where his heart was; the drumming. Maybe it was a false alarm, or maybe it was just hunger.

Sudden footsteps made him perk up his head, almost like a dog. They were coming closer, but Natsu was sure it wasn't time to eat. At least he thought so. But What was really weird was the scent. It wasn't the usual girl that came down here. No, She smelled like black berries and pomegranate. This one smelled...Like the man who captured him and Happy. Burnt words,lost knowledge, and hate. He reeked of it. Natsu growled as he approached.

He stopped right in front of Natsu's cell. His eyes were so adjusted to the dark he could see everything, even his eye color. they were a very light blue, looking icy in texture. Which was weird cause eyes didn't have texture. He had dark blue hair that curled messily. He looked like he didn't bother to brush it. He was lean, and just as muscular as Natsu. The man wore a blue and white vest that only covered half his torso. It was decorated with gold patterns on the sleeves. His pants were like Natsu's except they were a deep blue with beige beads holding the bottom of the legs to his calves. His belt consisted of three ribbons; blue, Gold, and white, all tied to one side. Black sandals and a white cape finished his off his outfit.

"So." He spoke in a deep gravely voice. Yep, this was the guy. He'd never forget his tone. "It seems your friend escaped yesterday." Natsu's eyes grew wide, and then a crooked grin took up the side of his face. Happy was a cunning cat, it was only a matter of time before he figured something out. Natsu chuckled, and he heard how harsh it sounded. After all he hadn't spoken in forever.

"I wouldn't laugh so soon. Saki was able to put a spell on him before he could get out of reach. It slowly and painfully takes away ones energy till they die." Natsu grit his teeth. "He's probably lying dead in the street."

"Shut up." He barked. "Happy inst dead. He's stronger than that!" The dragon slayer refused to believe it. If he got to Wendy in time she would be able to heal him. He had faith in his partner.

"I can assure you," He smiled evilly. "He's dead." Again Natsu gnashed his teeth together. He was going to tear this man apart. hopefully he'd get out of these chains so he'd get that chance.

"I can assure you, he's not." A voice said from down the hall. It mocked his tone. Natsu knew that voice.

A sudden yellow blur rushed forward and attacked.

"Lucy Kick!" Natsu felt a tug at his stomach. Lucy, She was here! He noticed his scarf around her neck, and he couldn't help but smile. She'd kept it safe for him.

The man put his arms up and blocked. Happy flew forward and pulled Lucy away from him. So Happy was okay. He laughed again. He shouldn't have doubted the little guy.

"Ha! You think you can defeat me with your wimpy magic?" He teased. Hey who was this guy calling wimpy? Nobody made fun of Lucy. He opened his mouth involuntarily, ready to defend his friend.

But she only smiled, and a sudden battle cry sounded from down the Hallway. Their roar shook the mossy walls around him, and he was sure they were going to cave in. They were here, All of them.

Fairy tail.

They charged him, and he cursed. He was strong but, he couldn't defend against a whole guild. He was soooo dead. The boy spared one more glance at him, and he bared his teeth.

"I'll be back for you later, dragneel! Saki!" He yelled, and suddenly a girl appeared behind him, grabbed his shoulder and disappeared again. He was gone. Oh, but he would come back for him. Just like he said, Natsu didn't doubt that.

"Coward!" The redhead cursed gritting her teeth, slicing the air angrily with her sword where he once stood. Natsu watched her expression turn soft as she switched her attention back to him. She smiled when they made eye contact. Erza was so bipolar. She could be happy one second, then a monster the next. Lucy as well. Sometimes she kicked him so hard. Were all girls like that? Were they all demons? The world may never know. Also how many licks does it take to get to the..Wait what?

Erza turned toward his cell and busted it open with her heavens wheel armor, but Lucy was the first to rush in with Happy at her side. She embraced him, her arms flying around his neck and squeezed Natsu like a bear. He trembled. human contact; It felt nice after so long. And Lucy of all people. Her soft skin clashed against his. She smelled nice too. Lucy wailed into his shoulder and he felt the tears fall on him.

"Natsu we were so worried!" His little Blue exceed bawled on his head, and in mere seconds his long hair was drenched in the tears. "I thought I'd never see you again." He grinned. Happy had only been out one day and he was already worrying about Natsu.

He look up at his family. All of them; they were crying. Wendy's hands were held tightly together as she shook, but she had a smiled on her face. Gajeel looked as if he'd known all along he wasn't dead, and Romeo hugged his dad, crying into his side.

Mira had just changed out of her Satan soul, and was holding lisanna who was sobbing just as hard as Lucy. Their brother was right behind them, and even though he wasn't speaking he could tell what Elfman was thinking 'Natsu! you're a man!' the dragon slayer snickered.

Juvia had a couple tears in her eyes, and Gray looked the same as Gajeel. They both didn't want to reveal their true feelings. He rolled his eyes, although he knew exactly how it was. Levy was jumping up and down with Jet and Droy behind her cheering with flags waving and everything.

His guild; His friends, They really had missed him. Sometimes he forgot how much he was loved. It was disgraceful of him to do so, but he wouldn't ever again. Not after this.

Erza broke his chains both at his hands and his feet, and his arms flopped down. He groaned in relief. I felt so good not to be fastened to the ceiling. He wanted to hug Lucy back but he couldn't lift his arms. They'd been hung up there for so long. He just couldn't do it.

"Hi Lucy." He smiled. His voice sounded so weak and pathetic to him.

"I knew it," She said between sobs. "I knew you weren't dead." He felt her body shake along with his.

"Of course. What do you take me for?" He scoffed. She didn't answer, but she continued to cry. And he really hated that he could move his arms. After a few seconds Lucy pulled away and put his arm around her, being his support.

"Here Natsu, can you walk?" She asked in a soft voice.

"Psh! Of course I can walk." He took a step forward, and he felt himself fall. He cursed in his mind. Lucy took most of his weight but she was being pulled down with him. That's when Gray rushed forward, taking his other side.

"You're such a wimp squinty eyes." Gray egged him on. Nastu wanted to bash his skull against his. He hadn't had a good fight in a long time. But he was to weak right now. If he couldn't hug Lucy, or even walk, how was he supposed to beat up the popsicle?

"You just wait droopy eyes." He didn't put a lot of feeling into that, and he was breathing heavy unable to get enough air.

"Natsu!" He looked over to the celestial mage carrying him. She was looking at him worriedly. He tried to smile telling her he was okay, but it only seemed to make it worse. From the expression she was giving him, Natsu bet he looked awful.

"Don't worry Lucy, I...just need...some..." The fire mage felt lightheaded, and his eyes were forced closed. He was aware of Lucy calling his name as he fell asleep.

Yeah...like I said. Its pretty bad.

I looked over this about 20 times, and I just was like...'I dont know what to do with this...Its awful.'

Keep in mind I'm still a novice!

Just cut me some slack please!
