Chapter 3:
(Lucy's POV)
Walking into the guild I was surprised at how quiet it was. Even at this early time usually it would be teaming with teams going out for jobs or Natsu and Gray would be fighting. "Hey Mira, why is it so quiet today?" sitting down at the bar I leant against it as I looked out at the place that had become my home.
"Don't know but Natsu hasn't been in today," as she sent me my usual drink I almost missed it as I spined back around and started fiddling with the charm around my neck. "Hey, what's that?" as I showed her the necklace she started to smirk.
"What?" as I tucked it under my shirt I felt my face start to flush.
"It was a gift from Natsu wasn't it?" as my face started going even pinker I felt a sudden rush of energy from behind me.
"What was a gift from me?" looking behind me Natsu was leaning against the bar beside me.
"Nothing was a gift from you," turning to face him I gave him a push and as I watched him stumble I watched him bump straight into Gajeel.
"Hey watch where you're goin' flame-brain," as Gajeel stood up and pushed Natsu back I started to smile.
"It wasn't me Lucy…"
"Don't go blaming Lucy you pink-haired-freak!" turning my head Gray punched Natsu squarely in the face. Again he had lost his clothes and Juvia was pink in the face.
"Damn you ice-brain!" as Natsu got up I noticed that he had knocked Cana and her beer. As more and more people got involved in the fight the guild starting sounding more like it usually would.
"You did that on purpose, didn't you Lucy?" leaning back against the bar I smiled at Mirajane. Looking around I tried to find master to ask him about the charm. When I found him laughing from a-top his desk I got up and walked over to him.
(Makarov's POV)
Sitting a-top my desk I looked out as the guild hall exploded into a frenzy. Smiling to myself I was about to stop them when I saw Lucy pushing her way through the crowd to arrive, exhausted before me. "What is it Lucy?" as I watched her catch her breath I felt a strange magic energy coming from her.
"I wanted to ask you to look at this for me," as she put her hand down her shirt she pulled out what looked like a simple necklace but at the end of it was a caged heart. Ushering her closer to me I placed my fingers around it but as soon as I gave it the slightest of tugs the strongest gush of magic energy rushed from Lucy, knocking me backward off my desk. "Master, are you alright?" as she came to help me up I noticed that her eyes were glowing. Not wanting to say anything I shooed her help off and was soon back on my desk.
"Lucy, I want you to find Natsu and go straight home, I will look into this," as she nodded her head at me she stopped as soon as she turned around. "Is something wrong?" jumping down from my desk I saw why she had stopped. Erza was standing on top of all of the members of the guild that had been fighting. Placing my hand to my head I again thought about resigning, this job was going to kill me. But soon a light sound came from next to me. It was Lucy, she was laughing.
"Thanks master," as she waved good bye I watched her go straight into the fray to try and find Natsu.
(Lucy's POV)
After finding Natsu I tried to calm him down about being beaten so badly by Erza but my mind kept travelling to what had happened to master today. When we finally reached my apartment I was about to tell Natsu to leave when I saw something fly straight into my apartment. "What is it Lucy?" not bothering to answer him I opened my door to find a little pixie like thing sitting on my bed.
"What are you?" walking over to it, I watched as it hoped up and started flying around the room.
"So you're the one, your prettier than I thought you'd be," as it stopped right in front of my face I saw that it wasn't wearing anything but instead a thing of air was covering it and little wings kept it in the air.
"Um, Lucy, who are you talking to?" turning around Natsu was standing behind me, looking at me with a look of utter confusion on his face. How didn't he see this thing, I guess it was small but it wasn't that hard to miss.
"Lucy huh, nice name," turning back to thing Natsu placed a hand on my shoulder which seemed to stir the thing up. "Don't touch her!" placing my hands over my ears, the sweet little voice of thing from before turned into something that sounded like a raging storm and Natsu was sent flying.
"Natsu!" rushing over to him he was just unconscious and nothing seemed to be broken. "Why did you do that?" having trouble keeping my anger in check I wanted terribly to rip those wings from the back of that little thing.
"Because he was going to hurt you," even though its voice had returned to the smooth style it still scared me that this little thing could throw Natsu back.
"No he wasn't and what are you anyway?" watching the little thing float down to the ground I saw the look of sadness cross its face.
"I am Nia, leader of the Spirits of the Wind and I am sorry, I thought he was going to hurt you," as Nia landed on the ground she grew to a slightly easier size to see. Her hair was pure white and a white dress now covered her pale features.
"It's okay Nia but why couldn't he see you?" as I went to sit closer to her I tried to think of reasons why he couldn't see her but nothing seemed to work.
"Because only you can, you are the bridge between worlds," as she smiled at me I continued to stare at her with confusion. As I was about to ask her something else she started to vanish.
"Wait, where are you going?" as I placed my hand on her slowly vanishing ones I tried to make her stay but her energy just continued to slip away.
"I am sorry but I can't stay any longer but if you ever need any of use, look inside and call our name and if our element is close, we will come to your aid. And I am sorry for hurting your friend," as my hands slipped through her's I was left with lots of questions but before I could do anything Natsu began moving behind me. Shaking my head, I put all worries to the back of mind.
"Natsu, are you okay?" leaning over him I was so close to his face that I could almost kiss him but when he opened his eyes and moved his face closer to mine and our lips brushed briefly and I pulled back instantly, trying to hide my blushing face.
(Natsu's POV)
Looking at Lucy I remembered that she had been talking to someone that I couldn't see but by the way she was sitting I thought it would be best to leave it for a later date. "Um, I'm fine. Um, I'm going to head home now, are you alright?" when she just nodded her head slightly a thought struck me. "Lucy," when she looked up at me I kissed her quickly on the nose before running to the window and jumping.
(Lucy's POV)
Placing my hand on my nose I realised that Natsu had just kissed me. Feeling heat rushing up to my face I ran to the window to see Natsu rushing off back to the guild. Sinking onto my bed I realised that I still had a whole day left to spend. Pulling out my keys I decided to do some research on this bridge between worlds that Nia said I was.
