Natsu pov

I hadn't slept again last night, and when I did fall asleep I had nightmares mostly about Lucy. first it would start out good we would be walking to the guild like any other day. When we got to the guild she would disappear and I would run every where looking for her but I could never find her.

"Natsu?" I looked down happy had a spatula in his hand

"sorry what?"

"how many pancakes do you want?" happy asked with a smile,

"I'm not hungry right now Happy." Happy's smile faded

"you haven't eaten for two days" I watched as happy looked down at his feet, I could tell I was worrying him and everyone else at the guild. it was true I hadn't eaten in days, I guess it couldn't hurt if I had some food

"you know what i am a little hungry I'll take three" Happy perked up and walked off. I sighed as Happy walked into the kitchen I looked back down at my maps. I had been looking over the dark guilds in the area, and then cross checking them with places I had been with Lucy. It was a pretty long list. Erza, Grey, Levy and I were going to go out later today and check Crocus to see if anyone had seen Lucy or Gajeel.

I looked up and sniffed the air it smelled like something was burning. just then I heard Happy yell. I got up off my chair and ran to the kitchen. Happy had put out the fire before I got there

"Natsu my tail!" Happy yelled I looked down to see his tail was singed, the white tip of his tail was not black

"oh no I burned the pancakes!" Happy quickly put the pancakes on the plate.

"my pancakes!" Happy pouted

"what about your tail?" I asked

"so what my pancakes are burnt." happy began to cry I was shocked I stared at Happy

"it's ok buddy"

"no its not. Lucy would never have burnt the pancakes" Happy whispered. then it hit me I saw Lucy's cook book out and the cut of strawberries. Happy was trying to make Lucy's favorite pancakes. He was trying to make me feel better.

"Happy.."

"i just wanted you to smile again" Happy said as he wiped his eyes

"I've lost Lucy I cant lose you to Natsu" I got down on my knees

"Happy your not going to lose me. I know I'm making you worry, and im sorry for that I-I need to find Lucy, no matter what it takes I need to find her. do you understand that?"

"I do. I want to find her to Natsu but if you want to find her you need to take better care of your self" I looked down happy was right I did need to take better care of myself. I looked back up at happy

"listen I'll make you a deal I'll start taking care of myself, if you let me eat at the guild" Happy and I looked over at the pancakes happy smiled

"okay! deal!" I smiled at Happy

"ok well how about I clean up here and you go to the guild and get Mira to fix your tail." Happy grabbed his tail and frowned

"alright. I'll order you some food!" Happy summoned his wings and flew off

I began cleaning up Happy's pancake mess when a golden light appeared behind me

"Lucy why haven't-" Loke looked over at me "Natsu! where's Lucy I need to have a discussion with her, she has not summoned me for a month now" I stared at Loke

"you don't know?" I asked Loke looked confused "about what. and where is Lucy" Loke looked around the corner then back at me. I sighed and told Loke everything

Lucy pov

after about two hours of aimlessly walking around the forest I finally found the village I sighed as I walked toward me and Gajeel's tent but when I got there there wasn't anything there everything was gone I looked around the area but there was nothing it was like it never existed. I turned around and headed to get some food, I walked into a huge building it wasn't very busy, I spotted Gajeel at a table sitting silently, I walked slowly toward him. When I got to the table Gajeel looked up then back down. I sat in the seat across from him.

"so what you eating?" Gajeel looked don at his food before pushing it toward me, it looked like spaghetti so I grabbed a fork and began eating it.

" they moved us to another place, were in a house now they stocked it with food and stuff so we don't have to come in here and eat."

"I was wondering where my stuff went." Gajeel and I didn't talk for the rest of the day he showed me where we were staying then headed out. I sighed as I opened the fridge to see what we had. there was a lot of fruit and vegetables but not much of anything else. I shrugged as I looked around the place I found my bedroom it was right next to the bathroom Gajeel's was down the hall. after a little while of laying in bed reading a novel I decided to head out to the stream to get clean and this time I was bringing back up. Gajeel told me where to go, but i had to ask some of the locals where to go. I finally found it and it was beautiful there was even a little water fall. I smiled as I put my bag down I decided to bring out my back up.

"gate of the dragon I open thee: Katrina!"

just like before she appeared in a tornado of water

"hello Lucy"

"hey Kat!"

"do you need something?"

"yeah can you keep watch well I clean up I don't want any creeps to come along."

Kat smiled "I can do that."

I stripped my clothes and got in to the water I put my hair under the water and started grabbed the shampoo I stole from the hotel and massaged it into my hair

"what is that?" Kat asked as she inspected the bottle

"it's shampoo" I said as I started to get the shampoo out of my hair

"why is it in such a small bottle?"

"I took it from the hotel"

"huh" Kat tilted her head as she put the bottle back in the bag. Just as I was washing out the conditioner Kat stripped and jumped in the water splashing me

"hey!" Kat's head popped out of the water a huge smile on her face I slashed her back and just like that we were splashing each other and laughing

Me and Katrina dried off and headed back to the house when we got there I decided to keep her here a while longer since Gajeel wasn't there yet. Me and Kat were talking in the kitchen when Loke suddenly appeared

"princess why are-" Loke stopped when he saw me and Kat. and just like that Lokes attention was diverted to Kat

"and who are you?"

"I'm Kat"

"listen why don't me and you go out some time" I groaned

"Loke really you've been here for 30 seconds" Loke wasn't paying attention to me he leaned in closer to Katrina

"why is he so close to me?" Kat whispered to me I began to laugh

"so are you a mage as well?"

"no, I'm a dragon" Loke's eyes widened and he began to cough like he just choked on his own spit.

"wh-what?"

"a dragon" Loke looked over at me then back at Kat

"so Loke what are you doing here?" Loke continued to stare at Kat

"maybe I should go. see you later Lucy" then Kat disappeared just like before

"what was that?"

"oh she just went back to the celestial world," I picked up the glasses me and Kat used and began washing them

"celestial world?" I nodded Loke came up beside me leaning on the sink

"she's a celestial dragon" I handed Loke a cloth to dry the dishes and he took it as I drained the water

"a what?" I sighed

"it's a long story. anyway what are you doing here?" Loke placed the cup down I grabbed the cup and headed to the cupboard

"oh right well I went to your house and Natsu said you disappeared so here I am" I nearly dropped the cup on the floor

"you talked to Natsu?" Loke crossed his arms over his chest

"what's going on Lucy? and where are we?"

I was just about to answer when Gajeel walked in "Lucy we need to talk-" Gajeel stopped when his eyes made contact with Loke, Loke turned to Gajeel then back to me

"wait what?"

"I'll be in my room when your uhh done here" Gajeel slowly closed his door and soon it was just me and Loke

"wait Gajeel's with you! Lucy what the hell is going on?!"

"Loke please calm down"

"calm down?! everyone back at the guild is worried sick about you Natsu is a complete mess and your here with Gajeel!"

"Loke!" Loke's face looked over at me

"listen you can't ell anyone where we are. Me and Gajeel are-" I closed my mouth quickly I couldn't tell Loke about the mission I had no idea how to explain it to Loke, I tried to search my brain for an explanation but came up empty. I took a deep breath

"you and Gajeel what?"

"I cant tell you" Loke just stared at me for a long time

"it has something to do with that Katrina girl doesn't it?"

"no" Loke stared straight at me he

"that was very convincing"

"wh-what do you mean?" I asked in my most innocent voice

"Lucy come on I know when your lying" I quickly began to busy my self as i headed to my room to unpack some things. Loke of course followed me to the room

"Lucy come on" I quickly turned back around I couldn't take it anymore I hated lying

" me and Gajeel are on a mission to find celestial keys to kill Zeref!" Loke stared at me disbelief clear on his face I sat down on the bed

"that's what were doing but you cant tell Natsu or Levy please, they cant know"

Loke sat down on the bed next to me

"I'm sorry Lucy" I didn't realize that I had started to cry silent tears slid down my face

"I miss him Loke" I said Loke grabbed me and hugged me whispering soothing words into my ear as I cried on his shoulder
