Fairy Tail - Fanfiction: Chapter 12; "Lucy..."
Erza: "Look - There's a note!" *points to it*
Levy: *Nods, crying* "I know . . ." *cries harder and leans on Gajeel*
Gajeel: *Puts his arms around her to try to comfort her*
Wendy: "W-What's the note say . . .?"
Gajeel: *Hands Natsu the keys with the note on them* "We read it, but Levy dropped it, crying her little head off. Can't say I blame her . . . The note seems like it was meant for Natsu, though . . ."
Natsu: *Takes the note off the keys and reads it*
Erza: *Waits*
Natsu: *Suddenly tenses*
Happy: "What's wrong, Natsu?"
Erza: *Takes note from Natsu*
Natsu: *Doesn't budge as Erza takes the note*
{Starting with Erza, the rest of the group reads the note}
Wendy: *Shaking* "H-How c-could they . . .?"
Carla: "They must be stopped at once!"
Erza: "Those fools! They're going to regret doing this to Lucy!"
Natsu: "Lucy . . ."
Happy: "Natsu . . . ?"
Natsu: "Lucy . . . I WON'T LET THEM HURT YOU!"
Erza: *Grabs Natsu before he runs off without thinking* "Natsu! Wait!"
Natsu: "WAIT!? Lucy's in danger!"
Erza: "It's obviously a trap! Think before you act!"
Carla: "I agree, though what they intend to do is outrageous! They must be stopped, but let's think our strategy through first!"
Wendy: "Yeah . . . I mean, the note said that we had until noon tomorrow before . . . . . . before . . . ."
Carla: "It's okay, Wendy . . . You said enough . . ."
Erza: "Happy! Grab hold of Natsu and keep him in the air so he can't run off!"
Happy: "Aye, sir!" *grabs Natsu and flies up a few feet*
Natsu: "Happy, let me go! I have to go save Lucy!"
Happy: "No can do, Natsu." *Natsu fights to get down* "Ehh! Natsuuuuu!"
Erza: "Carla, go help Happy keep Natsu still!"
Carla: "You don't have to tell me twice!" *flies up to help Happy*
Wendy: "Natsu, this is for your own good! Please keep still."
Natsu: I better stop struggling . . . I guess they're right. We need to think of a plan first, so Lucy has more of a chance of coming home safely - and the rest of us, too. *sighs and stops moving*
Erza: "Good. Gajeel, you and Levy go tell the others that we know where Lucy supposedly is, but that there is trouble!"
Gajeel: "Right!" *lets go of Levy and leads her back to the school*
Erza: "Carla, I suppose you and Happy can let Natsu down now. Go with Wendy to tell the others who aren't at the school the same thing as Gajeel and Levy are saying. Hurry!"
Wendy & Carla: "Alright; let's go!" *both leave quickly*
Erza: "Natsu and Happy, come with me; stay quiet!"
Happy: "Where are we going?"
Erza: "Just stay quiet!" *glares at them*
Natsu & Happy: "Aye, sir!"
Erza: ". . . We're going to find Lucy."
