A/N: So sorry for the numbers

Please enjoy?

It had been 3 months since Lucy had been kidnapped like that. It had been 3 months since Erza and the rest of Fairy Tail tried to find her. No such luck. But Erza will not rest. Fairy Tail will not rest.

Lucy was their friend, their family, someone who could not be replaced. They knew that Lucy's waiting for them. They knew that Lucy has hope that they would find her. And they will...they must.

Right now, they are at their guild, looking over their findings, their map of where they had searched. There were pins that marked 'cleared', meaning that Lucy was not there. There were over 200 pins marked onto the map...It served as a reminder that they had failed to find her. As much of a failure it seems, Fairy Tail will keep moving.

"Cana, can you use your card magic to track her again?" Mira asked as she was walking to members to members.

Cana sighed. "Every time I use it, there is something that is blocking me from tracking her. But I can try again, though."

"Do it." Erza boomed from behind Cana, making the latter jump.

"Jeez, don't jump me like that!" Cana exclaimed.

"If you can't find Lucy directly, then find someone who does know her...or try to find the closest thing to Lucy." Erza offered.

Cana scratched the back of her head. "Hmm...that could work...Let me see what I can do." Soon, Cana was looking at her cards.

"You're taking this extremely well, Erza." Mia said as she approached her.

Erza made a grunted noise as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not. But I need to be calm in order to correctly find her. Plus, Lucy will not like it if I go too extreme like Natsu or Grey."

Mira smiled. "So thoughtful, aren't you?"

"And I advise you to stop talking about this." Erza growled, glaring at the barmaid.

"I found something!" Cana exclaimed.

Erza was already at her side, anxious to find what she knows. "Tell me." Erza ordered.

"I didn't find Lucy, but I found someone who's connected to her." Cana explained.

"Where?" Erza demanded, ready to bolt out of the room.

Cana was silent for a few moments. "Outside of our guild."

Soon, the entire guild was quiet when Cana had said that. Erza was the first to move, bolting out of the guild to find the man responsible. Only one question remained in Erza's mind: Was the man spying on us?

The entire guild followed Erza outside of the guild to find the man. It wasn't that hard to find him to be honest. Cana used her card to pinpoint to where exactly the man was...Erza was already there before Cana could point out who.

Erza sees a man casually powerwalking away with haste. With quick thinking, Erza summoned a sword and threw it to where it wedged itself in front of the man, causing him to stop and turn around.

The man made a nervous chuckle as the entire guild moved in behind Erza with an angry look. But Erza was angrier, filled with rage and a need to rescue Lucy.

"Do you know Lucy Heartfilia?" Erza spoke up, eliminating the hostile silence in the area.

"Lucy? You mean the blonde celestial mage?"

"That would be her."

"Nope. Never heard of her."

Erza sighed, closing her eyes before opening them again with even more anger and rage in them. "Then I'll beat them out of you. I will have you tell me where Lucy is."

The man was obviously afraid of them, but, something made him stay. Something made him stay anchored to the ground, like he had a purpose.

Erza lunged forward, intent on cutting the man down, but the man was fast, managing to dodge Erza's sword.

Faster than lightning, Erza swung the back of her sword and pinned the man down to the ground, harshly enough to create a crater beneath the man.

"You will tell me." Erza spat, looking down on the man beneath her with venom.

The man whimpered, but stayed quiet.

"Tell me where Lucy is!" Erza yelled, positing a sword under the man's chin.

The man was still quiet.

"Tch." Erza was getting impatient. She pushed the sword a little toward the man, slightly piercing his skin. "You will tell me, or I will kill you."

"If you kill him, then you won't know where to find your...beloved Lucy." An ominous voice boomed, tensed most of the mages.

Erza slowly turned to see another man with a smirk. Narrowing her eyes, she stood up, grabbing the man beneath her and kept the sword to his neck.

"If you want him to live, you will tell me." Erza yelled.

The man standing in front of Erza only smirked wider. "While I would love to humor you on where Lucy is, I have a mission right now, and so does that man you're holding."

The man that Erza was holding with a sword to his neck suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke, soon appearing next to the man.

"And I must thank you. You provided us...the most important part of the mission." The man continued.

With that, the two men disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving most of the guild more confused and more...angrier if that wasn't possible before.

"What just happened?"

"What did he mean by that?"

"Mission...was this planned?"

Countless questions bickered amongst the members of Fairy Tail. Erza was becoming more desperate and hysterical. She turned to Natsu with insanity in her eyes.

"Natsu, sniff him out. Follow him. Gray and I will follow you." Erza demanded before turning to the rest of the guild, "Continue what you were doing. But don't stop."

When the guild agreed, Erza turned to see that Natsu had already disappeared. "That damn..." Erza gritted her teeth, cursing under her breath.

"Erza. Let go and catch up with him." Gray said, trying to calm her down.

"U-Um...can I go with you guys?"

Erza and Gray turned to see Wendy fidgeting with her clothes.

"The more the merrier. Plus I doubt Natsu will think straight." Carla added as she walked next to Wendy.

Erza sighed. "Alright. Then let's go, otherwise we'll lose Natsu as well."

After catching up to Natsu, Erza, Gray, Happy, and Carla did everything they could to sniff out those men. It was harder than they had thought.

They searched for a month, and that was when they heard the news. News that there was a bloodshed at a particular guild. A Dark Guild called Whitebreaker.

Although it was just a rumor, Erza found it odd. A Dark Guild and a bloodshed...She decided to check it out, just to be safe. She ordered her teammates to follow and investigate the area.

It took them an hour to reach the Dark Guild's location. They were couple blocks away, and they could already see the damage done to its building. People were cowering away from the building. There were policemen surrounding the building, keeping spectators away.

Erza forced her way through the spectators and demanded what happened. As expected, she was denied any information, so she forced the information out of them.

Apparently, it all happened in one night. All the members of the Dark Guild were killed by a single person. Gender was unknown. Magic was unknown.

Erza allowed herself in, followed by her teammates. Horror filled their eyes as they saw the blood...everywhere.

"She was here." Natsu blurted out with wide eyes.

The mages turned to face Natsu.

"Lucy?" Erza was in Natsu's face.

"She was here." Natsu repeated.

Erza wondered if it was Lucy that killed these guys. But the Lucy she knew was not that type of person. She hated violence, much less killing another human being.

"Spread out, see if she is still here." Erza ordered, already walking in one direction, leaving no room for protests.

To Erza's horror, there were so many body limbs everywhere, so much blood painted the floor and walls.

Soon she heard a cough and instinctively followed the source and soon finds a man, a familiar man that she had seen. The same man from a month ago that sprouted something about a mission. The same man appeared and disappeared. Now here he was, coughing up blood, surely dying.

"Heh. Looks like you're at death's door." Erza said as she neared the man.

The man turned to see a familiar redhead. "If you're looking for your beloved Lucy. She's long gone."

Erza summoned a sword and pointed it at him. "What do you mean by that?"

"Lucy...that damn blondie...I never knew she had that much power in her..." The man mumbled, occasionally coughing up blood.

Erza lowered her sword ever so slightly in confusion by what the man had just said. "Power?"

The man glared at Erza. "Look around you. All these...blood...people that used to be people...my friends...they were killed by your damn beloved!" Then yelled before going into a fit of coughing.

Erza lowered her sword and looked around. Lucy...did this? Taking a deep breath, she turned back to the man and repeated her question. "Then where is she?"

The man only chuckled. "My guess is that she ran away. I do not know...where...she's..."

Erza waited for the man to continue...but she knew that the man was dead now. The man died...leaving Erza with more questions than answers.

She knows that Lucy would never do this. She needed to find her before something else happens.

"Erza!"

Erza turned to see Natsu running to her. "What?"

"Lucy was definitely here. But she's not here anymore."

Erza sighed. "I know. Can you sniff her out?"

Natsu nodded with a grin.

"Get the others. We must go immediately." Erza ordered, to which Natsu eagerly complied.

Don't worry Lucy. I'll find you and make sure that you're safe this time. Please...be safe.
