Eruption (Ch. 3)
Yukino along with Sting, Rogue, Minerva, Lector, and Frosch stared at Lucy in absolute horror as she told – in tears – what happened in Magnolia less than seventy-two hours ago.
It was deadly silent when Lucy finished, except for her sobs that echoed through the sickbay. When it was finally broken, Sting sighed, rubbing his temples that throbbed with the stressing news.
"Alright," the new Sabertooth guild master spoke, "where's the Lumen Historie now, Yukino?"
"Right here," The Celestial Spirit wizard picked up Lucy's backpack that was sitting at next to the bed. "It's in here."
"Keep it safe here and stay with Lucy," The White Dragon Slayer stood up, making his way toward the door with Lector following, "Rogue and Minerva, you and I are heading to what's left of Magnolia to see if there were some survivors. We'll bring Rufus and Orga with us."
"No!" Lucy shouted, wiping her tears away, shoving the sheets back, and swinging her feet to the side of the bed. "Take me with you! I wanna go!"
"Woah! Lucy!" Minerva shook her head, "you can't! You're still recovering and-"
Lucy stood up, straight and without wobbling. She looked over at Sting and gave him a convincing look of confidence. "I wanna go with you guys! I have a right too!"
Everybody looked at Sting as he sighed, giving in, "alright fine. Yukino, you can come too, but I want Lector and Frosch to stay here with the Lumen Historie."
"You can count on us, Sting!" Lector took the backpack, smiling.
"Fro thinks so too!"
"We'll be leaving shortly," Sting looked as Lucy. "Are you sure you want to come? They…might not…"
"Yes," Lucy nodded. "If my friends didn't survive, I'd know even if I didn't go anyway because you'd have to come back and tell me. I just want to see for myself."
Sting nodded.

Natsu pushed the door open so hard and so fast that when it hit the wall, it put a large dent in it. He stomped down the hotel hallway toward the front doors with eyes that were wild and determined and nothing was stopping him. However, he was only able to get a couple of feet away.
"Natsu!" Erza shouted, "stop! Come back!"
"No!"
"Natsu!" Makarov growled angrily, following him into the hall. The old man internally groaned at the damage done to the wall, knowing that he would have to pay for it later. The hotel owners were kind enough to give all of Fairy Tail free rooms for as long as they wanted as they licked their wounds. Natsu was all better now and his mind was fixed on the person he loved most. "I know you want to find her, but you can't-"
"No!" Natsu spun on his heels, looking Gramps in the eyes, "don't tell me what I can't do! I'm going after her!"
"Natsu," Gramps sighed; just like the rest of Fairy Tail, he too shipped Natsu and Lucy. When he witnessed the kiss and Lucy's confession, the look in Natsu's eyes said it all. "I know you want to find her," he repeated, "but now is not the time. I know you're healed, but some of us still need medical attention and we stick together."
"I don't care!" Natsu shouted. "I can't just sit here doing nothing when I know she's out there wandering around! She probably thinks we're all dead!"
"And most of us think she is too."
Natsu opened his mouth to shout back, but as Makarov's words processed into his brain, his words died on his lips. How can the guild just think Lucy's dead?
"I don't believe she's dead," Makarov says. "If she was, the Lumen Historie would've gone off."
Natsu's eyes hardened, "that's not why I believe she's still alive. If she was dead, I'd feel my heart break, even if I didn't witness it, I'd just know."
He smiled gently, "I know. Natsu, I know you want to find her, but we should all heal and then look together. We'll cover more ground that way. Lucy will be fine for the time being."
Natsu looked down at the ground, his breath suddenly came out in pants and he shook his head, "I…I just wanna see her."
"I know."
Natsu shook his head harder before turning around, "I'm sorry, Gramps."
"Natsu!"
The dragon slayer was gone, out the door and out of sight.
It was dark out, nighttime, but Natsu was able to see perfectly thanks to the moonlight and his enhanced dragon eyes. He was running toward the train station; he knew Lucy wasn't in Hargeon right now. If she was, she would have been with them when the nurses were running around healing them. The next town over was Onibas and that was where he was going first.
"Natsu! Wait!"
That was undoubtedly Happy's voice, but Natsu didn't stop or turn around; he just kept running. "Don't try to stop me, Happy!"
"I'm not trying to stop you! I'm coming with you!"
Natsu smiled, "well hurry up then, would ya?!"
"Aye sir!"
On the train, Natsu was so focused on finding Lucy, he wasn't as motion sick as he normally should be.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
It was barely dawn by the time the train stopped at Onibas and it didn't take long for the motion sickness to pass. Natsu was on his feet again, ready to find Lucy.
"Happy, look from the skies," he ordered before taking off in a run.
"Aye!"
When Happy disappeared into the sky, Natsu sniffed the air, trying to get even the tiniest hint of his favorite person's scent.
Dang it! There were too many people around!
He relied on his eyes instead, looking around for blonde hair. There were a lot of blonde women at the train station, but Natsu left that to Happy. It would be a waste of time going to each and every one of them when he could be looking somewhere else. He ran off toward a different part of town.
"If I was Lucy, where would I be?" He muttered to himself. "…the library."
He turned to run before stopping and hitting himself in the head. Lucy wouldn't be at the library after a volcano eruption. She would be at the market. Master Makarov didn't pack any food when he handed her that backpack; all that was in there was Fairy Heart. She was probably starving and buying food.
Turning, he was in the marketplace in less than a minute. He called out Lucy's name, drawing many people's attention to him, but he didn't care. Lucy didn't reply. She either didn't hear him or she wasn't there.
He began running around again, sniffing the air, calling her name, and looking for blonde.
"Excuse me, sir? Are you looking for someone?"
There was an old man running one of the market stalls that had vegetables with him. Natsu hadn't eaten in a while and he didn't notice how hungry he was until he saw the food, but he didn't ask to buy. Even if he did, he didn't have any money.
"Yeah, have you seen a girl named Lucy?" Natsu asked. "She's a Fairy Tail wizard and has celestial keys with her. She's tall, blonde, seventeen, brown eyes…gorgeous…"
Sadly, the old man shook his head, "no, I'm sorry, I haven't seen her, but if I do, I'll contact Fairy Tail immediately."
"Thank you, I appreciate it," Natsu tossed him a smile before running off again. "I'm going to find you, Luce…where are you?"

Halfway through this, I realized I put a "Lost" quote in here. XD My mom and I are on season four and I'm still angry at the writers for killing off Charlie. He was one of my favorite characters…anyway, I have this brilliant idea of a series I got from the latest manga chapter (516) and I'm going to post a teaser trailer for it. It's going to be called, "Where is END?" OH GOSH, I LOVE IT! I CAN'T WAIT TO WRITE IT! After the teaser trailer, my brother wants me to post a chapter of "Bloody Child" and I promised my friend I would post a chapter of "Little Red Riding Hood". After that, you'll get the second chapter of "Beauty and the Beast"…and from there on, I don't know. XD
