Hiro Mashima owns FairyTail.
Lucy stood in the empty room.. everything was gone…
"Princess… I have packed and taken all your belongings to the spiritual world.. we will look after them until you need them."
"Thank you Virgo.."
With that.. Virgo bowed and left. She stood alone in the room. Her hand to her keys.. she spoke aloud.. for all of her spirits to hear..
"I know I don't have much time… and I made a promise.. I made a promise to find a way to live… so please.. lend me your strength.. We'll return.. all together… someday…"
Her window blew open.. and a gust of wind entered the room. A shadowy figure stepped inside through the windowsill. Lucy found herself staring at the person.. They were wearing a black cloak.. with the hoodie covering their face from sight..
"Why did you come back… Why don't you listen…" Lucy said facing the hooded figure.. tears began to fall down her face…
The hooded figure dashed towards Lucy.. gently placing a hand around her waist bringing her closer.. a hand was on the back of her head.. bringing her face towards his.
Warm lips met hers.
With wide-eyes.. tears fell down her face.. she didn't resist.. she didn't move.. Her eyes softened and closed.. and she let the kiss sink in.. and when she relaxed, he deepened the kiss.. she let him dominate.. it was passionate and hot..
When he finally needed a breath, he gently removed his lips from hers.. staring into her brown eyes.. her face was lit by the moonlight.. he rubbed her tears away with his thumb as he cupped her cheek.
She stared back into his eyes.. tears streaming down his own face.. dropping off his chin.. he smiled gently..
.

"Because I love you…."
She had felt it.. a foreign magical presence… whoever they were, they were strong.. and in the direction of Lucy's house. She smelled him too. It was faint but enough for Wendy to get alarmed.
"Wendy? What is going on?" Happy flew after Wendy and Carla.
Carla had a bad feeling.. something was happening.. something important.. they needed to find Lucy right now. Wendy just kept running.. Carla had told her in private of her vision right after Lucy had left… and now she knew Lucy was in danger.. she had to get her to safety.
Wendy ran following the scent.. Carla flying close by.. Happy whining all the way. They ran closer to the town exit.. her eyes widened and so did Carla's as they saw two hooded figures.. they slowly turned around...
She stopped running.. there was a few meter gap between the two parties..
"Lucy-san… where are you going?"
Carla landed next to Wendy.. her eyes wide and shocked… her vision.. the same exact coats..
One figure let their hood down… revealing Lucy.
"Lushy.. what.. what's going on?" Happy said landing and taking a step towards her.
"Sorry Wendy, Carla, Happy… I have some things to take care of.. and I'll be right back…"
"You're.. leaving? Lucy.. that person.. you can't! " Carla said softly..
The other hooded figure took a step in front of Lucy.. protectively.
Wendy took a battle stance pose.. "Who are you? And what do you want with Lucy-san."
"Wait.. Wendy.. please! We just need to go take care of things.. I promise.. I'll come back. He's not-" Lucy said pleading.
"I won't let you take Lucy-san.. if you take her now.. she'll be kicked out of FairyTail! I won't let you do that to her!"
The hooded figure stepped to the side and forcefully lifted up Lucy's right hand to them.. showing the bare back of her hand.
Wendy's eyes widened… so did Carla's and Happy's..
"NOO! LUCY-SAN!" Wendy started running towards Lucy…
But the cloaked figure stepped in front of Lucy again.. and began to exert their insane magic pressure. Lucy collapsed from the sudden strain of magic pressure on her…
Wendy collapsed on her knees… Carla and Happy passed out on the floor.. she tried her best to fight the magic strain… his power was immense and kept rising.. she knew this magic…. She struggled to open her eyes… she saw the hooded figure's cloak lifting and floating around in the air.. red flaming magic erupted in a pillar around the figure..
The hood fell back slowly.. the hair…
And she blacked out.
Everyone in the guild felt the presence of a great magic pressure… their bodies began to chill as they were overwhelmed by the sheer burning power..
Master Makarov's face darkened… and soon Master Mavis was seen arriving next to him.. Unaffected and unfazed by the magic presence.
Laxus rose from his seat and so did Gajeel… they rushed out the guild doors and soon the rest of guild follow after them.
They ran towards the source but as soon as they had left the guild, the pressure was gone.. but Laxus and Gajeel could smell someone familiar as they continued to run towards the direction of the intruder.
Closer and closer they ran.. they were shocked to see three bodies on the ground… Laxus saw Wendy and ran towards her side.. picking her up, he noticed no injuries.. Gajeel examined the two exceeds and found them uninjured as well.. But all three… were unconscious..
Whoever these three had met.. were extremely strong… strong enough to be S-class… maybe even on Gildarts level…
"Is she okay?" Mira asked coming up to Laxus.. he was carrying her small body in his arms.
"I think she just lost consciousness… We need to treat them now. But I'll go after who is responsible for this…" Laxus said as he tried to give Mira Wendy.
"No.. you will not go after them Laxus… you felt it.. and you know how powerful they are…" Mira said with a serious face. "We need you here to protect the guild in the case they plan to attack.. whoever they are.. we are no match for them facing them head on without knowing anything about them."
Laxus clenched his jaws and shut his eyes in frustration.. he walked past Mira with Wendy still in his arms.. and headed towards the guild. Gajeel carried both Happy and Carla in his arms.. wondering what Laxus was thinking as well..
The person's magic pressure.. felt oddly just like Natsu's.. but it was powerful.. much stronger than the Natsu they knew.. and Natsu couldn't be here.. he was off on a mission with Team Natsu.
They would have to wait for Wendy or the exceeds to wake up.. they would know who the mage was…
He walked through the forest.. Her asleep on his back…
"I'll protect you Luce.. I'll find a way… I won't let you leave me again.. not like this… not after I finally have a chance to make things right.."
It had been two days since the incident.. Carla and Happy had woken the day before and were worried sick.. everyone had asked them questions about who they had met… who the cloaked figure was.. why Lucy.. had gone away. They didn't even get a chance to see the cloaked figure beside Lucy.. and all the while.. Carla kept the vision to herself..
But Wendy… she sat on her infirmary bed.. Laxus, Gajeel, Mira, and Master Makarov around her..
"Wendy.. what happened? Please tell us…" Mira asked putting a hand on hers.
Wendy looked towards Mira.. she kept her mouth shut.. her eyes were puffy with tears..
How could she tell them… Carla had another vision of Lucy's tragic future.. that someone who had the same magic as Natsu had taken her away.. that she couldn't do anything to prevent her from leaving.. that her guild mark had disappeared…. That she had left FairyTail... that in the midst of this all.. that Lucy was really sick...
Tears streamed down her cheek…
"Oh Wendy.. please.. tell us so we can help you…"Mira said crying.. pleading with her..
"Did you see the person?" Laxus asked seriously.
"I….." Wendy said.
"We need to know what happened and who he is." Gajeel said coming up and sitting beside her.
"I…I'm sorry…" Wendy said as she brought the covers over her face.. she continued to cry.
"It's okay Wendy.. take your time.. I understand the tough situation we've put you in my child.. you can tell us when you are ready." Master Makarov said warmly as he tried to console her.
Wendy continued to cry under the covers.. she couldn't do anything for her…
Lucy-san looked so sad.. and the cloaked figure… she could vaguely remember that she saw the hoodie fall off… but she couldn't remember what she saw right before she blacked out..
"Lucy-san…." Wendy cried..
Laxus and Gajeel walked out of the room…. They walked in opposite directions down the hall.. each clenching their fists… eyes narrowed.. and utterly pissed off.
"Whoever you are.. when I find you… I'll make you pay… I'll make you pay thousand fold for Wendy's tears... for taking her away.." Laxus lightning flashed away.
"Whatever shadow you hide in.. I'll find you.. and when I do.. you'll wish that you were dead." Gajeel clenched his teeth in anger.
