I sat against the hallway wall waiting for someone to tell me what was going on. How did this even happen? I tried to remember back the other day when Natsu had saved me. He had told me that I was lying on the floor while flames engulfed my apartment. My land lady was completely pissed about that but Natsu had said he would repay everything in his own pocket, which was really nice.

Come to think about it I didn't even remember coming back from our mission that day. Erza, Wendy and the Master came out of the infirmary.

"My dear let me talk with you in my office real quick." The master said walking towards his office as Erza and Wendy went to the Guild Hall. He sat on top of his desk as I sat in a chair right in front of it.

It was silent for a few minutes until the Master finally let out a sigh and began talking. "Lucy, I am sorry to say but we don't know the exact cause of Natsu's condition. Let alone what it's going to do. Wendy has lessened the pain for him a bit but what ever is going on inside him is still at work. I will have to have a talk with Porlyusica tomorrow to see what she can do. For now though you can stay by his side he is stable, for now." Master said

"Thank you Master." I said not letting tears come to my eyes just staring at my feet.

"It will be alright young one. Now go see him." He said as he walked over to the door to let me out. I walked out and towards the infirmary. Before opening the door I took a deep breath to clear my head, I turned the door knob and walked into the room. Natsu was lying in a bed sleeping, his face was covered in sweat and a wet towel was on his forehead. There was a chair next to his bed and I went over and sat on it watching him sleep. The sunlight from the window shined on his face as he slept.

How could I let this happen to him. I laid my head in my hands, on the bed and cried, I couldn't watch Natsu suffer anymore like he did. And yet here he was suffering because he was trying to protect me. I laid there thinking about him and any possible explanation that would bring him so much pain.

I thought back to the mission we went on, about the crooks we caught the other day. They were wanted for burglary and attempt at murder, but the weird thing is I couldn't remember finishing the mission. They didn't even use magic to try to fight us to escape, they just let us capture them, without putting up a good fight. After Natsu tied them up I couldn't remember what we did next, until I woke up in Natsu's arms a few hours later. My house completely burned in every nook and cranny.

I stood up and walked out to the guild hall where everyone was sitting being silent as ever. No one dared to talk, or even fight for that matter. I saw the master sitting on the bar table again rubbing his chin while drinking.

"Master." I said running up to him and standing by his side. "I think I might know what happened to Natsu!" Everyone stopped to look at me like I was crazy and the master opened one eye to look at me.

"Oh? Well speak up!" He said taking another drink.

"Well, I don't particularly know the specifics. And actually there is a problem because I can't remember." I said babbling on and the master just looked at me confused.

"You see after me and Natsu finished our mission the other day while he was tying up the bad guys I was waiting for him to finish. And that's when I can't remember how I got home, well more or less I don't even remember anything happening till I woke up in my charred apartment building with Natsu, Erza and Gray." I said rubbing my neck embarrassed to say that.

"That is quite interesting indeed." He said rubbing his beard. "Are you suggesting that we look into your memories to see if we can unlock what happened?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying! I might of picked up something, anything to save Natsu! Please master you must help us!" I begged.

"Wendy, Erza, Grey, Gajeel and Elfman I need your help come with me. You to Lucy." he said hopping off the bar and walking down the hallway. We all followed and he went into another infirmary room.

"Erza go stick these in Natsu's ears until were finished and come back here when your finished." He gave her these white cotton bolls and came back a few seconds later with out them. Master instructed grey to move the bed to the middle of the room and stood on a stool in the corner.

"Are you sure you want to go through this Lucy, you will feel pain and you may suffer a bit in the process?" The mater said, I just looked at him and nodded. "Alright lay on the bed, Erza, Grey, Elfman, Gajeel you each grab onto a leg or an arm and do not let go until I instruct you to. Wendy you know what you need to do correct?" He asked and she nodded. I laid on the bed and all four members grabbed onto one of my limbs and Wendy onto my head.

"Forgive me Lucy-san" Wendy said as she closed her eyes and concentrated. At first I didn't feel anything then her cold hands on forehead. But next thing I know I feel this intense piercing pain in my head, like a major migraine. Pain started shooting out into each limb of my body and I struggled trying to get free but each person help tightly to me not letting me go. I bit my lip trying not to scream feeling blood trickle down the side of my mouth. Another more stronger wave of pain shot through out my entire body and I couldn't help but let out a blood curtailing scream. After a few minutes another even more intense wave came through making me scream and struggle to get free. I couldn't believe the pain that was being caused from such a simple task.

The next thing I know my body froze as I looked up at the white ceiling. I felt like I was looking into my soul and I didn't dare blink. I felt my body disappear and felt myself looking at a memory. Natsu was tying up the three guys we caught on our mission.

"That was too easy huh Luce? You barely did anything huh?" Natsu said tying an breakable dragon slayer knot.

"Ya! I couldn't believe how easy that was, they barely put up a fight." I said. I went up and got a bit closer to them as by standards came to see what the commotion was about. I felt a hand on my ankle and I looked down at one of the guys staring up at me. His dark green eyes looking straight up at mine with an evil grin across his face. Next thing I know I feel like my soul escaping out as I breathed out. I didn't feel the same, I wasn't in control of my own body or thoughts. They guy who had grabbed onto my ankle passed out and the other guys just started to smile as Natsu grabbed onto them and dragged them to the police station.

"Luce are you okay?" He asked as he started walking and I didn't.

"Yea, I am totally fine." I said clenching my fist and walking right behind him. I had been possessed by the murder. The memory shifted to my apartment, I was standing in the middle of it taking out a small bottle snake poison. I grabbed a box of matches off my desk and doused the snake poison on top of them letting them soak in it for a few minutes I started lighting each one on by one and throwing them all over the apartment. I took out another bottle from my pocket which was a sleeping potion and drank it. I felt the soul of the man who had possessed me leave my body before the potion set in.

His ghost figure stood right in front of me as I regained my sense of self.

"What did you do to me?" I asked him clenching to my stomach.

"I am bringing down the best team in Fairy Tail may you burn and die in hell." He said as he floated out the window making sure it was sealed tight.

"You will never get away with…." I said as I collapsed on the floor looking straight up at the ceiling. I took short gasps of air feeling like they were my last.

"Natsu…." I gasped as I lost consciousness. Moments passed as I heard the crackling of the flames in my head. I thought about how I was going to die there either by this potion or by the poisoned flames. The next thing I remember hearing was Natsu screaming my name, He started eating the fire and screaming at Erza and Grey to help him wake me up. I remember feeling his warm soft lips on mine and waking up to his wonderful face looking down at mine.

I came back to reality, as I gasped for air and screamed as my another string of pain rushed through my body. I started coughing and chocking on the air and the Master told Wendy to stop and for everyone to let go of me. I grabbed my throat and turned off the side of the bed onto the floor. I sat up grabbing onto the side of the bed regaining my voice.

"Poison…. The bastard poisoned it." I said as I laid my head on the edge of the bed and shut my eyes. I was tired but I wouldn't let myself fall unconscious yet not until we found a cure.
