I backed away from the door when I heard Lucy begin to cry I headed back into my room sitting on the bed. I sighed she had told Loke about our mission I wasn't mad at her for what she did, I knew at one point she would break and tell someone. I just didn't know it was going to be today or any time soon.

I laid back on the bed I closed my eyes I decided to try to take a nap right as I felt myself begin to drift off the image of levy dying in my arms my eyes shot open as I sat up in bed. I sighed as I rubbed my eyes. this was going to be hard to get any sleep around here with the never ending dream about Lucy, and now this. I got up off the bed and headed for the door I was about to open it when I heard a knock at the door

"Gajeel?" Lucy asked in a muffled voice. I opened the door to see Lucy standing at the door hands at her sides. Her eyes were red and her voice was scratchy.

"hey" I scratched the back of my head, I didn't really know what to do in these situations, "so where's Loke?"

"He left. I convinced him to tell Natsu he couldn't find me."

"oh" I stood there kind of awkwardly

"are you hungry? I was going to make food"

"yeah"

"ok, any suggestions?"

I shook my head as Lucy turned around toward the kitchen

"I'm going to go to that stream and wash up

"alright. do you know where it is?"

"yeah."

"alright well food should be done when ou get back"

I grabbed my bag and headed out the door.

Lucy Pov

I finished making supper, I had made Chicken Penne. It looked amazing, I didn't realize how hungry I was until I saw it. Gajeel still wasn't back so I began eating without him. I finished eating and Gajeel still wasn't back. I was getting a little worried I decided to give him a little longer as I cleaned up the dishes. That was it I grabbed my keys and headed out the door. It was dark but the moon was bright enough that I could see my surroundings,

I walked toward the stream "Gajeel!" I called, I waited for an answer but there was none. Where the hell was this Idiot.

"bunnygirl!" I turned around startled. bunnygirl? Gajeel hadn't called me that in almost a week.

"what?"

"What are you doing out here?" Gajeel asked

"What do you mean what am I doing out here? I'm looking for you!" I yelled "by the way why did you call me bunnygirl?"

"what are you talking about?" Gajeel asked frustrated

"you called me bunnygirl"

"yeah"

I stared at him. Why the hell did he call me that. I mean even when Gajeel was angry he never called me bunnygirl any more it was always just Lucy...Unless

"Your not Gajeel."

Gajeel just stared at me, Then he smiled evilly, and started clapping

"Bravo. I was wondering if you would figure me out sooner or later" the fake Gajeel laughed, then suddenly began getting different features. his hair turned blonde and short, he became shorter, and then his clothes changed. He wore a button down shirt that was open showing off his muscular torso and was wearing a pair of multi-colored swim trunks. this surprised me it didn't really fit with his whole image

"who the hell are you?" I asked

"Names Kal. You already know of me I assume, considering you figured me out so fast."

I glared at him "where's Gajeel?"

"Gajeel? oh I have no idea, I just thought it would be fun to mess around with you"

"so I'm guessing your the guardian of the celestial key"

Kal smiled "you know when I first saw you I had no idea that you were a celestial wizard" Kal began walking toward me

"you looked just to.. whats the word. innocent" I glared at him as I walked back away from him my hand on my keys.

"but when I saw those fears of yours. I couldn't help myself, I mean the one with that Jason guy was priceless, you know you don't really know your fears until they come true. Or in my case until I show you."

an image of Natsu dying pop into my head. Then watching as all my friends died, Erza, Grey, Happy each one of there deaths. "stop!" I yelled as I grabbed my head

Kal laughed "had enough already? I haven't even started"

Drowning, Natsu leaving me, Me being kicked out of the guild, the next fear was one I had never even saw coming, It was me dead.

I gasped as I fell to my knees. but Kal wasn't done, Fear after fear. they just kept coming

"STOP IT!" I yelled

finally they stopped as I looked up I saw Natsu kneeled down in front of me a frown on his face

"Natsu?" I asked as tears began to fall

"yeah Luce. It's me."

I got upon my knees , I looked him up and down from his salmon pink hair to, his fairy tail mark.

I leapt into his arms as I cried

"listen we don't have a lot of time"

"what do you mean?"

"Luce your unconscious."

"what?"

Natsu smiled, "I'm only in your head. All your fears over whelmed you and you lost consciousness."

"but your here. I can touch you"

"I'm not here Lucy. I'm sorry."

"but. then why are you here?"

"I'm here to tell you how to get through this."

"what do you mean?"

"What is the best way for you to conquer your fears?"

"Natsu what are you talking about?"

"were out of time. think Lucy"

"Natsu wait-" I went to reach for him but he stated getting farther away. I felt myself begin to wake up

"no Natsu! please!" Natsu disappeared and I felt my eyes fly open

I was laying down in the woods Gajeel was shaking me awake

I punched him in the face and backed away "stay away from me!"

"what the hell Lucy!"

"I already know who you are Kal!"

"who the hell is Kal? What are you doing out here?"

"Gajeel?" I asked as I moved a little closer

"yeah what the hell is going on?" Gajeel asked as he rubbed his jaw where I hit him

"where did Kal go?"

"who the hell is Kal?" Gajeel asked

"he's the guardian of the key."

Gajeel's face turned to one of anger "what?"

I didn't say anymore as Gajeel got up to his feet "where is he?"

"I was going to tell you, I found out where the temple is."

"where is it?"

"Gajeel.." I started

"Lucy where is it" Gajeel practically growled

"I can't exactly tell you, but I can show you."

"good. Lets go"

"Gajeel wait! I need to nest for a moment ok?"

"fine. I'll go get some water"

I sighed as Gajeel walked into the forest, Angry Gajeel I can deal with but scary vengeful Gajeel not so much. As Gajeel was gone I kept thinking about what Natsu said, how was I going to defeat Kal when he could see all my fears, all my weaknesses. I rubbed my temples as I began to get a head ache, I felt very drowsy all of a sudden, I could barely keep my eyes open. I laid down in the grass and looked up at the stars.

"Lucy?" Gajeel walked up to me

"som-somethings wrong" I whispered I couldn't raise my voice any higher then that

"here drink this" Gajeel placed a bottle against my lips and I drank the water

"Gaje-" I closed my eyes as I let sleep over take me.

I woke up and the sun was shining in my eyes I sat up quickly. I was in bed at the house. I got up off the bed and headed to the kitchen where gajeel was sitting at the table

"what happened? how did I get here?"

"well you passed out or something so I took you home. I'm guessing that Kal guy injected some kind of drug into your system"

"what? Why?"

"your the only one who knows where the temple is. I tried to wake you up but you were out cold"

I placed my hand on my head, I had a wicked head ache. "god damn it"

"well I guess its better this way. Now you can actually see where your going"

"ok well what are we waiting for lets go get him"

Gajeel stood up "alright lead the way"

It took about an hour before we got to the temple and right there sitting on the stone stairs was Kal

"what took you so long?" Kal laughed "well if it isn't Gajeel. Did you like my little trick? you should have seen the look on your face when your girlfriend died."

Gajeel's face turned to one of confusion to anger "what did you say?" he he basically growled

"Gajeel don't listen to him." but it was too late Gajeel ran at Kal about to throw everything he had in him but he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Kal was smiling darkly at him, and I knew he was showing Gajeel his fears. This was my chance to get him

"gate of the bull I open thee Taurus!"

"moooo Lucy-sama you look absolutely beautiful today!"

I smiled at his comment "go get Kal Taurus!"

"of course anything for you Lucy-sama" Taurus turned around but Kal was gone. Instead he was in front of me smiling

"now I don't like to hit girls but-" Kal hit me in the stomach sending me backwards into the stone temple, the back of my head his the stone I tried to focus my vision but before I could some thing had grabbed me by the throat I grabbed his hands trying to pry them from my neck as I was raised into the air

"I really did like you Lucy but I have a job and that's protecting the key" Kal threw me back towards the trees I landed on my side rolling once before I stopped on my back I stared up at the sky I coughed as I turned back on my side trying to get air. Why was it that I was always getting drowned or strangled? I got up off the ground standing unsteadily on my feet.

Kal wasn't far from me when Taurus attacked swinging his ax around, he missed but the end of the ax clipped Kal on the side of the head making him stagger backwards. That was just enough as Gajeel attacked sending Kal flying into a tree.

Kal got back up on his feet and laughed "Gajeel these are some pretty horrible fears you got. but none seem to be of you. the one I like the most is the fear that Lucy will find out about the whole Natsu thing."

Gajeel's anger rose as he walked toward Kal "you better shut the fuck up before I snap your neck like a twig."

"Gajeel what the hell is he talking about?"

Gajeel spun to look at me with a death glare. I involuntarily backed away from him. Gajeel tuned back towards Kal "now you. bring us to the key."

Kal smiled but it was forced. I could tell how absolutely terrified he was.

"I can't do that. I am the guardian of the key. I will fight to the death if I must to protect it."

Gajeel punched him in the face

"Gajeel!" I yelled Gajeel put his hand out telling me to stop

"then if you cant bring it to us. Tell me where it is."

"I can't"

"Gajeel its obviously in the temple. I can find it. Remember I can sense it."

Gajeel turned toward me "right." Gajeel's arm turned into iron and he punched Kal. Kal lay on the ground out cold

"what was that for?" I asked

"so he can't attack us again."

I opened my mouth to argue but Gajeel did have a point "we could have tied him up"

"this ways easier. now lets go get this key.
