Chapter 3
Normal P.O.V
"Fairy Tail. I believe I have something you want." A voice said. Natsu stood up abruptly.
"Lucy…." He said, afraid for his friend, and angry that anyone would try to do anything to her.
"Sounds like some of you are angry about this. Interesting. I propose a game! I do love games! Don't you?" The voice asked. Erza narrowed her eyes.
"Who are you?" She asked, her voice cold.
"Now that won't be fun! Ok. Here are the standings. I have about ten clues hidden on the way to where I am. Each clue heading to another till you finally get here. For every half hour it takes for you to get here, well, you don't want anything to happen to dear, dear Lucy, do you? You have 24 hours. Then I get bored, and do what I want with her." He said, still out of view.
"What happens every half hour?" Wendy asked in a quiet voice.
"Well, dear Wendy, I will probably do something like…..this." He said, using magic to make Lucy float. Her hair fell down in a waterfall, her face still peaceful in sleep. Then, suddenly, her eyes popped wide open, and she let out a blood-curdling scream.
"STOP!" Natsu yelled, jumping over a table. Lucy quieted, tears staining her face.
"N-ats-u-u." She whispered, her face still in pain.
"Now, you've gone and made me wake her up! Dillion! Fetch the tea!" The guy with Lucy said, still not appearing.
"I-I-I'm going to-!" Natsu spat out, shaking violently.
"Yes yes yes. We all know. Now, shall we start? Ok! The first clue is posted right outside of the guild hall, if you please. See you soon. Or not." He said with a smirk. The orb faded in a plume of smoke. The guild hall was quiet for a second. Natsu headed for the door.
"Natsu, your not going alone. We're coming." Erza said, clearly angered. Gray nodded, along with Wendy and Juvia. Natsu nodded, and pushed the doors open with a large woosh. There, floating in front of them, was the first clue. 'What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth, but never eats? D.T.'
"D.T.? That must be who has Lucy." Erza said as the clue vanished. Natsu and Gray stood there, looking confused.
"I don't know…" They both said at the same time. Wendy was mumbling the riddle to herself over and over. Erza sat on the ground, thinking. Juvia fauned over Gray and how hard he was thinking. Suddenly, the clock struck the hour, the gonging ringing through out the city. Natsu flinched. Half hour. Suddenly, Wendy laughed.
"I got it!" She said, turning toward the gates. They started out.
Lucy's P.O.V
The pain had me on fire. I screamed in agony as my blood started appearing. Then, as abrubtly as it had come, it disappeared.
"Please!" I sobbed, wondering what had brought this on. Damon smiled.
"I don't want to do this, but I have to keep with the rules of the game. You should have faith in your friends. Or not." He said, smiling cruelly.
"W-what are you going to do to me if-if they don't save me?" I asked in a small voice. He pondered this for a second.
"Not sure yet." He said smiling.
