Natsu's POV
"What? Luce told you that?"
Aria nodded "She told me that she needed to get back to the world of the living because the people there needed her help."
I was stunned "She was trying to get back?"
"Yes, I have no idea if she made it or not but I do know that she's not here."
I nodded slowly "Thank you."
She smiled "I'll send you all back." She waved her hand and there was a flash of green light and before our eyes the rest of our team was standing there looking quite surprised.
I looked at them and back to her with a smile "Thank you, Aria."
She nodded "You're welcome Natsu, I'll send you all home now." one by one they dissapered, my vision grew dark but right before it went black I heard Aria's voice. "Natsu you're world is not safe anymore, there is danger and darkness around every corner, before Lucy dissapered she told me that someone important to her guild is not who they seem, please I know Lucy wants you and her friends to be safe. Be careful."
My eyes shot open and I was staring up at the guilds infirmary ceiling.
"Natsu!"
I looked over and saw Wendy with Mavis both of their eyes were wide.
I smiled at them "Hey."
Mavis stepped towards us "How did you all get back?"
I looked next to me and saw the confusion in everyone's eyes except Gray's. "We met a sprite and she told us that Luce wasn't there anymore."
"Not there...?" Mavis trailed off "How is that possible?"
I smiled and shrugged "I don't know."
I looked over at Gray "She didn't say she Just sent us back."
Mavis nodded "Alright, then I guess we will have to find another way to get her back."
I brought my gaze back to her "We'll bring her back." I got off the bed and left the infirmary. With Gray and everyone else close behind me.
"Natsu, why didn't you tell her the whole story?"
I shook my head and continued walking. "Not here, meet me at Lucy's apartment."
I quickly left them all at the hall and started wandering around the streets. If what that sprite Aria told me is true then I can't trust anyone at the guild besides the people who went with me. I found my way to Lucy's apartment and let myself inside. I was the first one there, it still had Lucy's beautiful sent everywhere. There was a step behind me.
"Alright Natsu, what's going on?"
I turned around to see that everyone was here. "Well Erza, there's something going in our world and someone in our guild is involved."
The red head sighed "What are you talking about Natsu?"
Gray stepped forward "It's true." it took us awhile to tell everyone what happened.
"So what happened to Lu?" Levy had tears in her eyes.
I shook my head "We don't know."
Erza stood up from Lucy's bed "We'll see her again, but right now we need to figure out who we can trust and who's involved."
"Erza!" Juvia cried "We should focus on Lucy!"
I felt my heart ache, I knew I had to do the Right thing. "No."
Everyone whipped their heads around to stare at me. "Natsu, what are you-"
"Levy I know you miss her, I do too but if what aria said is true? We need to figure out what's going on before anything else."
Erza nodded with tears in her eyes.
"But, Lucy..."
I smiled "Lucy told me that we would see her again, I have to believe that."
