Hellooo guys. OMG I can't believe that it's been almost one year since my last update. I want to say that I'm sorry but I don't want to repeat myself. I also don't really want to promise that I will update every day or week but I will at least try. The good thing is that I really want to finish this fanfiction and write mooore, so you don't have to worry about it. I know from personal experience that it totally sucks when you like some fanfic and then the author cuts the story and says that because of various reasons they won't be able to finish. It hurts: *cries* I won't be like that, I can promise THAT. Btw do you like my name? :3 Damn, all the fluffy foods were taken so I had to put something else in between xD. So here is the next chapter, it's not really long but as a start after so many absent months.

It was dark at first, when Lucy opened her eyes, but they slowly adjusted and she could see her surroundings. It seemed that she and Wendy were in some kind of cave, thrown on the hard ground. It kind of reminded Lucy of the days in the Tower, when they slept on the soil, the dirt getting everywhere on them and little rocks tamping their tiny bodies.

"Lucy-san, you are awake" called happily Wendy beside her.

"Wendy, thanks God you are ok, do you know where are we?"

"You are in our hideout, now shut up" yelled annoyed the white haired celestial mage.

It was just then that Lucy noticed that the Oracion Seis' members were all around the place, she shrank back to the corner looking wearily at each of them.

"I've got some tasks for you that have to be done as fast as possible." said Brain and started giving orders. Cobra on the other hand couldn't hear what he was saying, for the first time he couldn't hear anything besides his own thoughts and those of Lucy's. He could say that she was scared, millions of possibilities ran through her head, God, that girl had some serious imagination. Then again, after the things she's been through, it's normal to imagine the worst case scenario. He continued staring at her intensely which made her more uncomfortable.

He started approaching her slowly and knelt down next to her. Before he opened his mouth to say something, Lucy interrupted him.

"What are you doing here?" It was a simple question yet he couldn't find the answer. Why was he here indeed? "Stop staring stupidly and answer my question Erik" yelled the frustrated blonde but when everyone turned their looks to her she shrank even more and hugged her knees embarrassed.

"Lucy look, I..." he still couldn't find the answer to this, maybe later on when he clear his head. "...I will go and finish my task, until then just stay here and don't do anything stupid."

"What? How can you tell me to just sit here while you guys are going against my friends?"

"Just do what I tell you damnit" screamed Cobra. The others in the room either chuckled slightly or looked annoyed at what was happening. If the others thought that he was pissed or peeved, Lucy saw right through it. She saw that he was worried He indeed was, because if he knew her very well, even thought she is easily scared and shy, she could be pretty stubborn sometimes and if she has something on her mind, she has to fulfill it no matter what. And if she thinks of something ridiculous such as trying to fight or escape, she would definitely get hurt and this is the last thing he wants happening in the already messed up situation.

Cobra slowly turned away from her stunned face and took off.

"What are we going to do now huh? Lucy, Wendy and Happy disappeared. They were taken from those Oracion Seis bastards." screamed angrily Natsu.

"Calm down douchebag and use your nose to track them." gritted Gray

"What did you call me you piece of shit?"

"Now is not the time for that, get yourself together." yelled Jura while the boys flinched and retracted because of his deep voice.

After they separated in groups, everyone went different way. Natsu was travelling with Carla, Gray, for his utter horror, and with Erza, for their utter horror. The pinkhead managed to catch a faint scent of chocolate and strawberries, of course, Lucy. She drinks so much chocolate milkshake and bathes with strawberry shower gel that he would absolutely never forget that addictive smell.

The other two were trailing behind him quietly, thinking of different strategies when they heard a rustling sound. They quickly turned around and were shocked to see no other than ...

"LUCE!"

"LUCY?"

"LUCY!"

She smiled weakly, her legs trembled as she fell on the ground. The trio ran to her and helped her stand.

"Lucy, what happened? Are you alright?" asked worriedly Erza as she was examining her injuries and bruises.

"Before asking her those obvious questions you should ask her where is Wendy." angrily yelled Carla.

"I'm really sorry Carla, but we got separated."

"What exactly happened back there, how did you even escape?"

"The leader, Brain, he sent everyone to do some tasks, he himself went to take care of something. He left the girl, Angel, guard us. Me and Wendy were positive that we will manage to at least dizzy her and make path for us to escape and indeed we did. We started running but then she emerged once again and with Wendy decided to go different ways to confuse her. We were supposed to meet at the center of the forest." Explained quickly the blonde while panting "we have to quickly get there. What if Wendy goes but doesn't find me and Angel is after her?"

"You are right, let's go everyone."

"Wendy. Wendy where are you?" screamed continuously the white cat while flying around hysterically.

"Maybe she will appear soon." suggested Erza.

"Not to disappoint you but she ain't showing up anytime soon." said Lucy

"What? But Luce, you said that you two... "

"Lucy? You mean the little blonde girl trembling in the cave? You must be really dumb." laughed weirdly the blonde, then white smoke appeared and two little blue creatures popped up in the place of the girl.

"Damn, we got fooled." gritted Gray as everyone got in stances.

"Oh no, we wouldn't do that if we were you piri piri" creepily murmured the creatures as a purple gas emerged from the trees and bushes.

"Everyone, cover your noses." yelled the knight

"Piri piri, that won't work, even if you hold your breath the poison is special, it can penetrate through the eyes, the ears, the skin. There is no escaping it."

And true to their words, the world around the four got fogged with each second until the last thing they saw were the two creatures and a pair of feet.

I really hope that you liked it and I hope that you fell for the plot twist haha. I'm trying to change the plot line and yet keep it straight as much as possible... if that even sounds good to you xD Anyway, please read and review, let me know what you think, if you have advices go ahead I'm always open.
