Chapter Two: Strange
Lucy PoV*
It's been three days since I join Fairy Tail and it felt like I was already at home, Lisanna introduce me to her brother and sister, Elfman and Mirajane. Mirajane wasn't very happy to meet me, So I might have a problem with her in the future and Elfman was a odd character, but he was nicer than Mirajane. Erza and Gray were the other people that seem rather nice to meet. Expect for Ezra intimidating behavior and Gray's stripping habit, but they were good people. I also, met Levy and the Shadow Gear team, Droy and Jet were very weird and protective of Levy. But none the less I made a new friend, she is a cheery friend and she loves books just as much as I do. Then there is Cana, I won't say she was weird because of her drinking habit, but for the past three days. I would catch her looking at me funny and come to find out her magic is Card Magic and she can a person future, past and present. That's when my heart sunk down to my stomach. She must know what happen to me in the past and I am very frightened about that.
But so far, she has not otter a word to me or anyone us, So I guess my secret is safe for now. I was currently at the quest board looking through papers wondering which one to pick. " Lucy!" I turn over my shoulder seeing happy flying behind me. " Are you going on a mission?" He asked laying on top of my head. I look up at him and smiled softly. " Yeah, I am deciding which one I want to go," I said looking through, till I found one about getting a book for a lot of jewels and also said that I need to dress up as a maid. I bit my lip as I stare at the paper. " Can I go with you, Luce?" I looked up at him giving a confused look. " Don't you have to ask Natsu if you can go?" He nods his head and flew up to the second floor where Natsu sat.
I walked over to Lisanna and hand her the quest. " I will be going on this one." I said, she gave a worried look. " by yourself? Why don't you take someone with you." I shook my head and smiled at her. "I will be ok, Happy is coming with me if it's ok with Natsu." My eyes blinked as I watch Lisanna eyes grow big and she looks speechless. " What did I do?" I asked nervously Before Lisanna can say anything. A loud thud was heard behind me, I looked over seeing Natsu next to me with a blank face. " I am going with her, let's go." He said in a demanding tone, The guild went quiet. I looked around the area to see everyone looking right at me with a shocked expression, I felt very uncomfortable at their gazes till Natsu called out. " Are you coming, woman?" I snapped out of my nervous daze grabbing the now signed quest and quickly left the quiet place with Natsu and Happy behind me.

Once Natsu and Lucy left the guild, everyone turned towards me with a questioning expression. " Master, will Lucy be alright with Natsu? " Lisanna asked sadly. I closed my eyes remembering the conversation I had with Lucy and Natsu. They were the same in their sorts of way, The girl need someone there to protect her and Natsu needs mental help from his raging dragon killer instinct. They were perfect and hopefully one day they will see that their own scars will make them who they are. ' I do hope so' I thought as I open myself looking at everyone in the room who had either a worried expression or sad expression on their faces. " She is in much better hands, I can assure you that." I finally said. ' Mavis, I do hope I am right.' I stared at the door one last time before I went to my office to get everything ready for my meeting.

'It's strange. Everyone behavior towards Natsu is not normal. It's like they are afraid of him or something? I Need to find out why the guild is afraid.' I thought as I followed Natsu out of Magnolia, down a path through the woods. I glance up at as he walked in front of me, Happy was flying beside him and they look like they are having a conversation. 'Probably about me.' I thought sadly as I wrap my arms around my waist tightly as we continue our journey.
It's been 2 hours and we arrived at a stuffy mansion. Where the client is staying, we went up the stairs and into a room, once we got inside we noticed that a man and female were sitting on the couch looking very worried. I frown a little, but I walked over and sat down on the couch with Happy beside me. Natsu decided to stand behind the couch we sat and looked at our clients with a blank gaze, causing them to become quite nervous. " Hello My name is Lucy, and this is Natsu and Happy. We are from Fairy Tail, What is it that you want us to do?" I said politely.
" My name is Kaby Melon and this is my wife. I want you to get in the Everlue Mansion and get a particular book called Daybreak." He said as he folds his hands together rather tightly. " You want us to steal it?" I asked and come to my surprised to Kaby tone. " No, I want you to destroy it." He said in a dark tone, I frown a little and bit my lip. " Alright, we will do it," I said as I stood up, picking up Happy when he gave me his pleading eyes. Then we walked out of the mansion heading towards Everlue Mansion.
We arrived at the mansion within 10 minutes, Natsu was leaning on a tree looking at the building. Like he is studying the inside of the building to locate the book or something. I walked over beside him and quietly asked. " You got a plan to get inside?" I looked at the square looking building. It was an ugly color, it reminded me of my uncle's place, but it was much bigger and there was a lot of security. " We will go on the roof, Happy can fly you up there." He said as he turns around. " What about you?" I asked as he walked away. " I can take care of myself." He said and that was our conversation.
Happy place me on the roof gently, we looked around the roof to see if anyone is up here. I turn around to give the close is clear, but then I felt the hot wind blowing against my face, I blinked a couple of times instead of looking out in the woods, all I saw was blank clothing. I looked up seeing Natsu raising an eyebrow at me with amusement. I blushed in embarrassment and mumble as I step away from him. " Let's go get the stupid book." Natsu walks over to a window, he places his hand on the glass and it began to melt making a perfect circle. He reaches his arm through the hole and unlocks the window, opening the window slowly. He turns his head to listen for anyone in the area. "Let's go." He said jumping through the window and landing perfectly, I sighed as I felt myself being picked up by Happy and flew us down to the floor beside Natsu. " Now we need to find a Library in this spuare fucking manison," I mumbled grumpy, as I follow Natsu with a giggling Happy beside me.
Before we got further into the mansion." Intruders!" A group maids appeared in front of us, all of them except one had a weapon. " Damn it all," Natsu growled in irritation as he knocks out all the maids. I looked at the unconscious maids and back up at Natsu who still had an annoyed look on his face. I bit my lip " I really don't want to know what you will look like when you're mad." I said openly to him, He nods his head at me. "Good, now let's get this damn book." He mumbled as he storms off with an intense aura around him.
We looked in every room in this god forsaken mansion and no sign of a library, Natsu was getting more and more annoyed of this place. Every time we open up a room and it's not the library he would growl, Louder and louder each time we open any door. His once dark eyes were now yellow one word from either from me or Happy he would snap and go on a killing spree. We stood at the last room with a double door that had golden handles on it, I reach for the door and open it. My hopes lifted we have finally reached the library. Natsu walked in first still irritated with the game of finding the library. Than we beginning our search for the book called Daybreak.
It didn't take long for us to find it, even though this guy had millions of books that was only there to collect dust. I would never understand people that have these many books and not read them. Also, why in the world would anyone get big ass shelves is beyond my understand. But whatever floats their boats. Happy called out " Hey guys! I found it!" I looked down at Happy who was on the bottom shelves, I smiled at the blue cat and climb down the ladder. Natsu walked over to happy to look at the title and nods his head. " Good job Happy." He said making Happy blush in delight at his praise. I walked over to them and frown. " Wait? I never heard of this book by Zemu Zaelon" I said taking the book from Happy. " Who gives a crap? The client wants it gone." Natsu said lifting up his fist lighting up his black and blue flames, he steps forward to fire the book. But something in my gut told me not to and it was very important. " Now hold on Natsu," I said in a pleading tone as I took a step away from him.
Now this is when things get complicated, I knew Natsu was pissed off earlier. But now, he was beyond pissed off. He gave me a dark glare and his eyes were glowing, his teeth were razor sharp like a dragon and he growled deep and loudly . What do you expect from the child of The Black Dragon? " I knew that you won't get the job done. Hand over the book woman." He hissed out smoke as he glared at me. Let me tell you something, I am beyond scared. My body trembles at his intimidating glare and his flames were not helping.
Before anything could happen, the double doors swung open hitting the walls, at the doorway stood a short fat man in a black suit with a red rose on the pocket and his hair style was not impressing at all, clearly this guy thinks that shaving the side of your head to nothing and have long hair that looks like a fucking happy duck mouth were supposed to impressed someone. His mustache was no better, it was like a small elf decided to crawl up his big nose and dangle it's legs on both sides of this guy's troll nostrils. And I am sorry, but this guy's eyes looked way too small like peas size small on his face. I blame the nose on that part.
" I never would've thought to have any intruders in my home. So I wanted to see what you are looking for before I end your miserable lives." He said with a cocky grin as he plays with his mustache. I gripped the book tightly and I noticed that Natsu was focusing on Everlue. Maybe, a fight will help blow off some steam for him. " Look Natsu, I know you are pretty pissed off at me at the moment. But can you stall for a few minutes, This book is hiding something." I said, I didn't get an answer for a while, I guess he was pretty mad at me. Great, there goes my chances on being friends with a dragon. I turn around and was about to take off when Natsu spoke. " You better be careful." He said firmly, I looked over at him shocked that he spoke to me, but also he was looking at me with his normal dark eyes. " Go. I will deal with him." He demands. I nod my head and ran out the room without looking back.
Natsu Pov*
Damn that old man. Damn that woman. Damn this whole mission. If I was by myself I would've got this mission done in seven fucking different ways. But she was right, I could sense magic around that book for some reason and she was the only one that could probably decode the mystery of that book.
I got in my fighting stand when Everlue chuckled. " A mystery huh? Maybe is a lost treasure or something to sell. Hehe, Do not worry. I have something special for your vermin." He said snapping his fingers and two figures appear behind him. " Say hello to the Vanish Brothers." He said as he gave out a laugh. " You two deal with this pest, I am going after the girl." He said as he disappears using his Diver Magic, by drilling into the floors.
Without taking my eyes off my opponents I spoke in a demanding tone. " Happy go help Lucy. She might need your help, I will be there when I am done with these guys." The blue cat nods his head " Aye!" Then he follows the fat old man through the tunnel. The two figure glared at me and gotten in there fighting stands. " I hope you guys are worth it, Because I really don't want a shitty fight," I comment clearly pissing the Vanish Brothers off.
'Damn this mission to hell, Once this is done. We are going to have a heart to heart conversation Woman.' I thought to myself as I lung towards the Brothers in full force.
As you can tell I didn't do much on this chapter, because I like how it went. I know that I didn't get it down like I said I was. A lot has been going on and I need to focus on that. Thank you for your support and I will get the next chapter up as quickly as I can.
