Chapter 20: Where is she?

-Laxus' POV-

We had finished it. We had finally defeated the enemy and were well on our way back home. I couldn't wait to see Lucy and wrap my arms around her small but beautiful figure. Kiss those sweet lips. Touch her skin. I had missed her so much. More than words could even describe. I think the others could see I was a little love sick as well. I wasn't as brash as I used to be. They knew Lucy had changed me. For the better too. I didn't spend my days planning out how I was going to take over the guild anymore. Instead I spent them solely focusing on Lucy and my lovely child that was on the way. I couldn't wait for that little bundle of joy to come in the world. I did know however that Lucy was going to be in a lot of pain for the next few weeks. I also knew that I was going to be right there with her through it all.

The train slowly came to a halt and we all exited the platform and made our way towards the guild. I started to get this strange feeling in my stomach but I quickly dismissed it at the thought of seeing Lucy. My thoughts carried me to the guild doors in a hurry. Natsu jumped in front of me and burst through the doors. Everyone quickly turned to look towards us and they all had sad looks in their eyes. I glanced around and something wasn't right. Lucy wasn't here. I stepped in front of Natsu and confronted everybody.

"Guys what's going on? Have any of you seen Lucy?"

If felt like everybody was avoiding my question entirely. Gramps came downstairs and stood in front of me. 'Maybe he can give me an answer.'

"Laxus my boy. It appears as if Lucy has been abducted. Levy went to her house about three days ago and heard screaming when she got to Lucy's house. When Levy went in Lucy was nowhere to be seen. Levy and Gajeel is out looking for her right now."

My eyes widened as I heard my grandfather's words. Erza came up behind me and put her hand on my shoulder. I turned slightly to look at her and tears filled my eyes. I shrugged her off and ran out of the guild, ignoring them yelling my name behind me. I ran down the streets of Magnolia. I had to find her. I didn't have another choice. I started contemplating of anywhere she could have been taken.

"Lucy? Where are you? Please give me some sort of sign."

( I KNOW IT'S SHORT BUT YOU GUYS DESERVED SOMETHING. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING SO PATIENT. I HAVE JUST HAD A LOT GOING ON. )
