Anyway, here's the chapter!
LUCY'S POV
Everyone was silent as they stared at Gray. He had just finished the explanation about what had happened on our job. I guess they were so shocked about it. After about a minute, Levy yelled "We need to bring Natsu back!" Then everyone cheered in agreement. My heart swelled with more hope as I heard everyone's determination to get Natsu back.
There was no way we would lose him at all. He will come back!
Gray got down from the stage. "Do you think they will let him go?" he asks sarcastically. I smiled through my tears, that have somehow broken free of the dam that I built since I heard. "No way" I said happily. "Ok! Time to get searching!" Someone yelled. I can't figure it out because after that, everyone started to speak to each other giving each other ideas and such.
"I think we may need to quiet down" Wendy voice through her quietness. No one heard her except Erza though, who took it upon herself to help little Wendy. "QUIET! LISTEN TO WENDY WHEN SHE SPEAKS!" Erza yelled, snapping. Everyone snaps their head into Wendy's direction, not wanting to face the she-devil. "Everyone needs to quiet down, so we can listen to each others ideas" Wendy explains.
Everyone looked as though a light bulb brightened above her head. "she's right!" "Lets listen!" "Wendy's smart" were heard throughout the guild. Then, as one, everyone quiets down. "Wow. Wendy managed the usually impossible... "Master sweat-dropped saying this.
"Ok! I think I'll go use my magic to track Natsu" Levy said, rushing off into a corner of the guild to work in peace. "I'll go help" Gajeel said following her. No one knew how he could help her use her own magic, but no one was going to bring that up. Lily flew over there with Gajeel and Levy, not wanting to be left alone. Levy looked up when she got to her corner. "Maybe everyone else should go searching through the town" she said thoughtfully. "That's a great idea!" Mira said and se used take-over for Satan Soul.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy. She sighed and started to explain "I might find them and have to use magic, so I want to be prepared. Plus, I move faster in this form."
I looked on in happiness. I can't believe everyone was this determined. Actually, this was Fairy Tail. If I really look at it, it seems like everyone is just as determined to do this as anything else they put their minds to. I walked over to Levy. "Do you want any help looking through books? Or should I go with everyone else?" I asked.
She looked up from her book she was going through. "Can you help? I'm searching for a certain tracking spell. It's called *Tsuiseki*" she said. I nodded and sat down.
Gajeel, Levy, and I sat there for hours on end looking for the spell. We looked through many books, thinking that at least one of them had to have them. Gajeel got up about 4 times to exchange the books for new ones.
Finally, after about 5 hours of reading and searching, Levy found it. She had screamed "FOUND IT" really loudly. I jumped away while Gajeel looked at her like she was crazy. "What''d ya find, Shrimp? the tracking spell?" Gajeel asked. She nodded. "It's right here" she said pointing at the spell.
We read off the page. "It says that in order to track someone down, you need something important from them" Levy read. She looks at me. "What's important to Natsu?" she asks. I thought about it. "His scarf...Happy if you count living things..." I said thinking hard about it.
Really, Natsu just kept the most important things nearby him or on him. "I don't think you'll find anything" I said sadly, knowing you can't use living things for this spell. Levy looks down sadly. "I guess I'll have to find some other spell" she said. I nodded and sat back down, only to yawn.
"You look tired, Lucy. You should go rest" Levy said looking at me with concern. I nodded. "I guess that would be a good idea" I said through a yawn. I got up and headed to the door. "Why don't you sleep in the infirmary?" Levy asks. "I want to sleep in my own bed. I'll be fine" I said, walking out of the door.
LEVY'S POV
I looked at Lucy with concern. "Why don't you sleep in the infirmary?" I ask. I didn't want her going out alone, especially in the state that she was in. "I want to sleep in my own bed. I'll be fine" Lucy answered me. I nodded. I guess she will be fine. I'm just overthinking it, like I usually do, right?
She walks out of the guild, leaving me behind, feeling slightly concerned about her wellbeing. "Do you really think she'll be fine?" Gajeel asked me, looking at me thoughtfully. I know, Gajeel, thoughtfully. Wow. Never thought I'd see those two words in the same sentence. Anyway, I didn't answer him, lost in my own thoughts. "Oi! Shrimp!" he called out. "Don't call me that!" I snap.
He sighs and gets up. "I'm going to go lay down in the infirmary. Come get me if you need any help" he says as he walks away.
I don't really need help, but I don't want him to leave me. Guess I just have to make that sacrifice just this once since we will need him when we find Natsu. He will help us get Natsu back.
"Ok" I agreed and he walks into the infirmary. Leaving me and Lily. "You can go with him if you want" I told Lily. He looks at me suspiciously. "You don't want to be alone, so I won't leave you alone" Lily said glancing over me. I smiled, my first real one since I have started searching for the spell. "Thanks" I mumble in happiness, glad one of them gets me.
NATSU'S POV
Lucy. They are threatening my Lucy. How dare they! I growled at the thought. They better not bring Lucy here or hurt her. It will be the last thing they do, if I had a say in it.
The Master had just left, saying that he was going to have Lucy brought here. All because of me. Because he didn't like my answers. It's my fault. I didn't know, but I couldn't lie because he would find out, and then he would have brought Lucy here anyway. That's really irritating to me.
How can he just determine that I know something when I say I don't? It's not like he stalks e or something...right?
I shake my head. He doesn't. If he did, he would know I wasn't lying. Ok, back to Lucy. How can I save her? Maybe give myself up for her. I guess that wouldn't work. They might ki- hurt her really bad if I did.
I wish I hadn't shouted that Lucy was m mate when they captured me. That's how they know she's my weakness. I started to shake with panic. What if they do get her? What if they do bring her here? How can I save her when I can't even save myself?
I gulp down the momentary panic. I can't panic right now. I have to think of a plan for Lucy and I.
I started to fall asleep thinking of plans and Lucy.
All about Lucy.
ROSE'S POV
Master had just shouted at us. "Bring Lucy Heartfilia here!" he shouted. I involuntarily gasp at this. I didn't want to, but I know what will happen, and I know that Natsu won't respond well. Everyone turns to me. "What's wrong Rose?" Kate asks me with a smirk. "We get another person to torture!" Cody cheers, alongs with everyone else. I feel disgusted that they are my team.
I feel disgusted that I'm on a team that likes to torture people.
I force an excited smile, not wanting them to know how I feel. "Nothing" I say. They all nod and turn. "Go get Lucy now!"Master orders. We all nod and walk off. "Who wants to go?" I ask, knowing we all don't need to go.
"Well, you should" Kate says. "I want to!" Will shouts excitedly. "Ok, we need one more" I say. "I'll go" Rob says. I nod. "Ok. We have our 3! Lets go now!" I say. Both nod and we leave. "Wait! Cody, can you come too, to you know, tranpost us and stuff" I reason with him. He realizes that he is the only one who could do that magic. "Yeah, sure" he says, and transports us near the Fairy Tail guild.
"Wow. Perfect timing!" Will says happily, as Lucy walks out of the guild tiredly. My eyes widened. I thought I could have stalled this a few more minutes, maybe an hour if I was lucky. Well, I was not lucky today.
I signal them to be silent, so she won't know we are here. "Lets follow her, until she gets inside her house and then we won't have to capture her in the middle of town" I say. They nodded, agreeing to my plan. Huh! Maybe I was a little lucky since I stalled it for a bit.
As Lucy walks to her apartment, we follow as silently as we could. This involved Rob face planting, Will cursing Rob out because he had tripped over Rob when Rob face planted, and Cody shouting "SHUT UP" at them when they were fighting. I'm surprised Lucy has not noticed us.
When Lucy got to her house, the boys smirked as I bit my lip. I didn't want to do this. I sighed, knowing that I had to though.
After Lucy closed her door, we check to see if she had kept it unlocked, which she had. She's an idiot I thought. Lucy had been in there for a full 5 minutes. Time to go in.
I opened the door, trying to be quiet. Needless to say it didn't work because the door squeaked. Oh well, she must know we are here I thought as I just sighed and fully opened the door. I step aside to let the boys run in after here. Not wanting to watch, I stayed by the door, in a different room. I heard a high pitch scream. I flinched, knowing it was Lucy. then cackling was heard and a loud thump. They knocked her out.
"Ok!" Cody said as he walked into the room I was in, with Will and Rob, who had Lucy over her shoulder, tied up. "Time to go!"
We all gathered around Cody. "Wait!" I yelled. They looked at me confused. I walked over to Rob and Lucy. "What?" Rob asked. I shook my head and glanced at Lucy's hip, knowing that's where Lucy kept her keys and whip. "You guys didn't disarm her" I said like I was speaking to idiots. They all gave me sheepish faces. "Uh, sorry?" Will said. "We were getting to the part" Cody argued. "Sure you were" I said as I took Lucy's keys and her whip.
"Next time, remember!" I snapped. They nodded, cowering away from me. We all gathered next to Cody again. "Ok! We sure we're good now?" Cody asks, looking over everyone. We all nod. "No one's forgetting anything" Cody asks. We shake our head. "No one had to go to the bathroom?" Cody asks. "Get on with it!" I snap at Cody. he nods quickly. "Getting on with it" he says and transports us back to our hideout.
We walked to Masters room, bringing Lucy. When we got inside, he looked up. He smirks as he says "Good! Lucy's here to play" evilly.
I'm sorry Lucy.
Stay safe.
Lucy.
