Natsu had his arm wrapped around my shoulders as we sat and drank some water. He was trying to get that nasty medicine taste out of his mouth for the last few hours that Porlyusica had given him. It was around the evening now and the sun had gone behind the clouds. It looked like it was going to rain, a storm was coming that was for sure. Erza had been unconscious since I brought her back, her wounds were healing, thankfully.
"Has anyone seen happy around?" Natsu said looking around the guild hall for his blue little cat friend.
"I haven't seen him since Erza came in hours ago." Mira said from the bar. It was a little strange for happy not to be around Natsu. I wonder where he had went…
"maybe he went into town." Natsu said taking another sip of his drink, he cringed as the water washed away some of the taste in his mouth. "Disgusting medicine." He said.
"Natsu, I think I'm going to head home, I'm pretty worn out from today." I said. I hadn't slept all that well the other night and barely have eaten anything today. I was pretty tired from running around town looking for Erza and Grey today to.
"Let me walk you home at least." He said getting up.
"that's okay I should be fine on my own." I said smiling up at him.
"Luce." He said giving me a stern look. Ever since that night he had been pretty protective of me.
"Fine. You should keep your eye out for happy to. It's not like him to go off on his own for so long." I said as we said our goodnights to everyone and left the guild. As we walked back to my apartment the sky had started to turn darker and darker until thunder rolled through the sky. The streets started emptying as people packed up there shops and went inside.
"Luce, don't be alarmed but I think someone is following us." Natsu whispered into my ear as his grip around my waist tightened. It wasn't like him to avoid a fight, did something happen to him? "Don't look back." he said as I tried to get a glimpse of our follower.
We passed right by my apartment and continued on down the street. "What should we do?" I asked as I stole a glimpse of a dark figured women following us.
"This way." Natsu said spinning me slightly as we turned right onto a small walking bridge. My head started hurting a bit like a headache, but I knew it wasn't a headache, she was trying to pick my brain.
"Natsu, my head, she's trying to pick it." I said to him as we continued to walk a bit faster. I grabbed my head as it started pounding a bit. He looked down at me and I could tell in his eyes he was getting angry. We stopped walking a few feet from the edge of the bridge and he turned around leaving me behind him. The women stopped as she stood in the middle of the bridge, I could tell she left my head then.
The women was wearing a black winter jacket, blue jeans and black flat boots. Her long black wavy hair went down the front of her jacket and her eyes were a deep blue.
"What do you want?" Natsu yelled at her. She just stood there smiling at us. "What is your purpose here?" He yelled. I grabbed onto the back of his shirt as more thunder and lighting went across the sky.
"That's just a simple question, to bring our Dark Master Wishes to life!" She said cocking her head to the left a bit as she talked. It made her look completely demented and evil. Rain started drizzling down on us as we soon got soaked with in minutes.
"What is his wish? Who is this Dark Master of yours?" Natsu asked.
"Our Dark Masters wish is to bring down Fairy Tail to its knees and disintegrate every single one of its members. Our Dark Master is our god!" She said as she let out an evil laugh. I let go of him as he lunged forward towards her, his fist burning with flames.
When he was a few feet away from her he just completely disappeared into thin air. She looked at me and her smile grew bigger. Panic started rising through my chest and my eyes widened as I searched for Natsu but he wasn't anywhere to be seen.
"Natsu?! NATSU!" I yelled as I couldn't see him. Anger started filling my mind as I started running towards her. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM! WHERE IS NATSU!" I yelled as I started throwing punches at her and she dodged every one. She stuck out her leg as I threw another punch, I lost my balance and she stuck out her hand towards my stomach. An evil power surge came from her hand and hit my stomach point blank. I flew back a few feet and landed on my back, the rain continued to fall and lighting lit the sky here and there.
"He's gone." She said as I got up. Pain shot up my left ankle as I tried to stand on it, I must of sprained it when she tripped me.
"What do you mean he's gone?" I said panting.
"He's no longer with us in this world." She said as another evil laugh roared from her along with thunder and lighting, what an evil bitch. I decided I wasn't going to win this fight with just my fists, maybe Natsu could of but I know I'm not strong enough to.
"Open gate of the lion! Leo!" I yelled as I swiped Loke's key through the air in front of me. Loke appeared right in front of me as he pushed up his glasses and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Lucy. What's up?" He said standing in front of me.
"She made Natsu disappear to I don't know where. Her and her Dark Master are after our guild." I said as I pulled out my whip.
"Lucy your hurt, let me take care of her." He said as he got into a battle stance. "Regulus grant me strength." He said as his fist lit up and he charged towards the women. He went straight for her and she didn't move and inch. At impact he went straight through her like she was a hologram.
"What is going on?!" I said as I grabbed my left arm wincing in pain as I took pressure off my left foot again. Loke just looked at me and back at her.
"You will never be able to defeat me Lucy Heartfilia, I am untouchable!" She said as Loke took another swing at her head but it went straight through. The women turned to her side and grabbed Loke by the collar and swung him over her head and onto the ground again. How was this even possible?
"Lucy" Loke said to me as he got up analyzing the situation.
"Loke, I, don't know what to do…" I said as I put my hand on his shoulder. A purple aura started engulfing the women, her power surged around her as it grew stronger and stronger.
"LUCY!" I heard Natsu scream around me, but I couldn't pin point the exact location where it came from.
"Natsu?!" I screamed back, Loke looked at me and then above us in the sky as more lighting struck. The rain had gotten worse and worse as time passed.
"Lucy, I don't think this is reality…" Loke said as he stepped closer to me. "Something isn't right, I hadn't noticed it before but when you talked it sounded different. Like if you were in a close confined space, your voice should of carried through the buildings when you screamed but it didn't." He said as he looked at me with a look of confusion. The women came full charge right at Loke without warning she punched Loke full strength in his back. He wasn't even expecting it and screamed in pain.
"Sorry Lucy." He said as he disappeared in a shimmer of golden light.
"LOKE!" I screamed as I fell to me knees in front of her. It was true my scream didn't carry like if I was outside. "I must be stuck in an illusion or something!" I Said as I looked up at her. Her face was in complete horror as she looked up towards the sky. It started cracking bit by bit across the sky.
"NO! That idiot!" The women screamed.
"LUCY!" Natsu screamed again as strong blast went through the sky and another crack started again.
"NATSU!" I screamed again. Finally the sky cracked and the world around me shattered.
