"Lucy Heartfilia?" I shivered in my boots, terrified. How the hell does this guy know my name? Be smart, don't be dumb. I opened my mouth to speak, but words refused to materialize.

"Lucy Heartfilia?" the voice asked again, much more force emulating from it. Think, think, think. OK, if I tell him my name, he might shoot me because that's who he's looking for, but if say that's not my name he might shoot me for being a witness. Think, THINK! My eyes shot around looking for something that I could use to help me. I glanced down into his other hand, noticing a syringe. Syringe, it's probably a sleeping inducing drug. That mean if he's looking for me, he might have been told to put me to sleep. I don't know how I'm gonna get out of this, but sleep's better than dieing. I stood up straight, forcing myself to keep my composure. I took a deep breath in.

"Yes, what's it to you?" It took all of my strength to have the word sound loud enough from him to hear. I could almost feel him smiling from behind the cloak, as quickly pulled the gun back from my forehead, placing the syringe on my hip. He quickly pushed the top of the syringe in, producing a small, yet sharp pain in my side. Thank god. All of a sudden my muscles begin to relax. I can't move. My eyes slowly droop as my senses stop taking in information. The moment before my eyes are fully closed, I hear third parties footsteps. Then before I fall to the ground, I hear a voice.

"LUCY!" a familiar voice cries out. My body flops onto the ground but I'm to numb to feel anything.

My eyes are awakened by the bright unfamiliar feeling of light. My eyes are fuzzy for a few minutes, but after a few blinks I'm able to recognize surrounding area. Home. I push myself off of the comfortable brown couch so I'm sitting up and look around. Next to me I find a familiar pink haired friend, knelt by my bedside.

"Natsu...what happened?" I groan out in what's barely a whisper. He pushes my forehead down, and I compliant with his hands command, and begin rest my head of the pillow placed on the arm of the couch.

"Who was that?" he asks. He didn't answer my question.

"I don't know," I answered lamely. He looked away from me, concentrating on something. "What happened," I push again. He sighs, finally listening to me.

Natsu's POV

"LUCY!' I yelled as raced towards the man in the cloak. Her body fell onto the ground and the man in the cloak glanced over at me, and I could tell that under that cloak he was giving me a dirty look. I decided to return the favor.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER!" I exclaimed as he scoffed,

"She's not dead, only asleep, however you will not have the same luxury," his voice was dark and coarse. I gritted my teeth and I rushed up to him, as he slowly lifted his gun. This is worse the bringing a knife to a gunfight. His finger closes on the trigger as I continue running up to him. BANG! I jerk myself over to the side, avoiding the bullet. Under the shield of his confusion, I race up to him, twisting his hand so that the gun is in my possession, pointing straight at his chin upward.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll leave now," I scoff as he laughs. My blood boiled in my veins. I can't kill him. I swiftly pulled the gun from his chin, shooting him in the foot. He winced in pain, reaching for his foot. I quickly point the gun out to him, and grab my phone from by pocket, calling the cops.

Never soon enough, they arrived, and I explained everything to them, and the man was taken into custody, but not before saying,

"He wants Lucy, he will have Lucy." I tried to ignore what he said and picked up Lucy and brought her back to her house.

Lucy's POV

"Wow...how'd you know I was gone? And how long was I out?" I asked, tilting my head to the side in confusion. He did that much for me. He shrugged,

"Just a hunch, and you were out for a few hours," he explained. I shot straight up. Mira and Levy! Oh no...

"Pass me my phone," I ordered, eyeing my phone on the coffee table in front of the table. Natsu passed it to me, and I quickly fumbled around with it, trying to get to messages.

"I already told Mira and Levy," he stated plainly. Questions began forming in my head.

"How'd you get into my phone, there's a passcode, and how'd you know I was going to see them?" I questioned, nearly furious at the idea of him going through my phone. Though he did save from them thinking I ditched them.

"I saw you put it in when you were awake once, and they started texting you about five minutes after I had gotten you home." Makes sense.

"Thanks Natsu," I smiled.

I felt a cold circle traced on my forehead and a syringe placed on my hip. Not again. I searched around the room for something to focus on, to direct my attention away from him, but my eyes eventually landed on the man in the cloak. I stared at him, trying to make out his features. All I could see was a familiar blond mustache shining in the light not shaded my his hood. Why does he feel familiar.

"It's time Lucy, just a few more hours and it'll be time," the familiar voice was coarse. Wait, no. The hood fell off of his face revealing his wrinkled skin and blond hair. No, no, NO!

"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" I screamed. An evil grin tugged at the lips which eventually formed the creepiest of smiles. I stepped back when a forced tightened on my hip and forehead.

"Don't make any sudden movements," he commanded as he played with the trigger on the gun and lightly tapped the top of the syringe. I flinched and my eyes widened at the sight. He's in control of my life. What do I do? Out of panic I kicked him, loosening the tight push of the gun and moving the sharp point of the needle away from my hip. "Wrong move, Lucy. Remember to say 'Hi' to Mommy for me," he grinned, all of his teeth showing. He quickly pushed down on the trigger and a loud bang sounded. Suddenly, my sight faded into black.

I shot straight up out of bed, heavily breathing in and out.

"Luce, you OK?" I half awake Natsu asked from the couch diagonal of mine. I hesitantly nodded as he raised his eyebrow. "You sure?" he questioned again and again received the same answer, except this time the nod came faster. "Ok," he shrugged, placing his head back on the arm of the couch. I did the same. Again the voice spoke in my head, Only a few more hours. I flinched a bit, searching the room of the beholder of the voice. Once I realized it was my imagination, I sighed, placing my head back down. "No problem, now rest, you need it."

(A/N: Nearly to the dance, but what the hell is that weird voice in her head? *Shrugs* WHY YOU LOOKIN' AT ME?! I DON'T KNOW EITHER! Or do I? *Bam bum BAM* Anyway, hope your day is going good, and if it's not then I hope I could cheer you up with this update! And if it doesn't cheer you up...well...I tried... CYA GUYS! BOI!)
