3 months have passed and still no sign of the missing children, the village is still being replaced but the only place that is not being re-made is the Heartfilia resident's. "Natsu get away from there it could collapse" Igneel said towards his son.

"But dad I need to find it"

"Find what?"

"Lucy's favourite doll" At that moment Igneel looked at his son brushed his hand through his hair and scratched the back of his head, "Look son she... Lucy is never coming back"

"You're lying she is coming back because ... Because I'm gunner find her" Natsu was so hurt that his best friend was gone but he always thought about her as if she never disappeared. Igneel simply just sighed and walked over to his son put his hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eyes, Natsu broke, tears were coming all down his face he was so alone that his only friend was gone because everyone in the village called him a freak because of his hyper attitude but not Lucy, Lucy would just laugh and say 'You silly little dragon'

Every night Lucy would look up at the stars and always wish that she and her new friends could find a way home, but it never worked Lucy was still the same cell, in the same trampy basement with same rats eating their food. "Hey Elf man what are we doing next?" Erza said

"We are doing the tunnels, and keep your voice down or you will wake the guard" he whispered back.

"who cares" Erza said but a little louder, Then the door unlocked and they all jumped but it was just some one bringing in a punished boy, "Put him with his group" The guard just looked at them in disgust and spat at them. "Loki you're okay" Levy said they got close from being in the same group, it has been 3 months and Levy, Lucy, Erza, Elf man and Loki along with other people, were put in a group.

"Nothing to it" Loki said

"You have to be more careful or you're gunner get you're self killed" Little Erza with no emotion

"You should know" Elf man said hoping she didn't hear but she did, all she did was shoot him a glare. Lucy was minding her own business looking out of the excuse of a window (it was basically a wall with 2 or 3 bricks missing), "Hey Luce, why are you so... spacious?" Erza said trying to find the right words.

"I..." She was about to say something when and guard came in telling them all to wake up. Every morning was the same to start they would get 3 whips each to wake them up, 1 handful of bread and another 3 whips (but that was only if they didn't like the look of you).

"NATSU WHAT ARE YOU DOING" Igneel shouted as he watched his son throw daggers at a tree, "Training, training so I can find Lucy and the others" He said trying to reach the dagger he just thrown. Igneel just sighed walked up to the tree grabbed the dagger and bent down with a stare to say 'really, you're really doing this'

"Son listen to me..."

"NO, all you have been telling me is that Lucy is gone, well I'm gunner find her and the others and bring them back!" Natsu had fury in his eyes, he put his mind t it he was gunner stick to it and Igneel knew once he had something he was gunner stick to it, "Okay"

"I don't care that you don't...wait what"

"I said okay" He handed the dagger back and turned to walk away, "But learn to use the dagger properly" and with that he was gone. Natsu looked at the dagger in his hand and just smiled like if he got a new toy or something. "I Natsu swear on this dagger that I will bring back every child" He cut his have and held it up to the sky; he was not giving up not matter what.

"Put the blonde in first" Lucy was shoved down a tunnel and was made to dig the rest out but it was like impossible to keep digging if it kept collapsing all the time.

It was dark and muddy and smelt of toilet business down there, every child was shoved down a tunnel and was made to dig. Most of the tunnels collapsed and the kids didn't make it so it made Levy really scared, fear rose in her eyes and tears started to come out,

"No don't cry, if they see you cry they will hang you up on the wall, or they will stick you down the tunnel and shake it to wind you up" Erza was right they would take any scared soul and make the scare turn into fear, they know that because of Loki. Levy soon calmed down, but as for Lucy she was already down the tunnel digging away whilst Loki and Erza was made to build the walls of the building but they had to climb it on their own. Elf man was making the bricks and shaping the rocks to make the walls with, yet no one knew why they were fixing the castle wrens all they knew was that had t do what they was told before dawn because if not enough work was done they would tie you up and throw stones at you (Erza told them that).

"HURRY UP YOU LITTLE BRAT" said the guard

"I'm almost there" Lucy replied

"Did you just talk back to me?"

"No sir, I just..." but it was too late Lucy was dragged out and put in to a room where there was only a chair; he strapped her into it and flicked a switch.

"Now let's try this again shall we" Lucy just nodded at that comment because she knew where she was, it was the electric chair that they used on kids if they disobeyed.

Natsu just strolled through town trying to find a teacher to teach him how to use this dagger. An old man was sitting by himself when he noticed Natsu and his dagger and in an instant threw a dagger his way, "Kid where did you get that dagger?" Too scared to move because of a dagger was thrown at him and landed inches away from his nose. "Speak us son I can't hear you"

"I got it from the floor"

"So you're saying you stole it"

"NO! It was by the bunt down weapon shop and I just happened to pick it up and where did you learn to throw like that" Natsu had excitement in his eyes and glided towards the old guy hoping he would tell him so he could find a teacher. "Where I learnt to throw is none of your business, I just want to know you intention" And all that excitement just went down the drain, "Why should I tell why I have it?"

"Because I'll tell the police" the old man said with such bluntness

"Okay, okay, I need it to say my friend and all the other kids" Natsu rushed saying this so he wouldn't tell the police. "Any way, what's your name old man?"

"The names Makarov, but you can call me gramps"

"AAAAHHHHHHHH" Lucy screamed from all the bolts that were burning her.

"And again, if I say are you done yet you will say?"

Already huffing and puffing "I will say no sir"

"See that wasn't so hard now was it, HHHMMM"

"Go to hell" she raised her head and glared at him with rage after she said the right thing 10 times before he decided to stop.

"Tch, Looks like someone hasn't learned their lesson" And with that another scream came crying out nearly the whole place heard her scream but Lucy wasn't going to give up, not now , not ever.
