Chapter 4

"What did you say?" Gray grabbed Natsu by his scarf. "She is alone?"

"Calm down Gray! Shut up!" Erza said

"What if something happens? Huh? I can't forgive myself!"

"I said shut up!" Erza's face began to dim. "It's not like we don't have a choice!"

"But Erza! Her father is dangerous!"

"Gray, I understand you…." Natsu was about to say something when Gray punched him. He was knocked down.

"How can you let this happen? Huh? I thought you were good friends?"

"Gray!" Natsu shouted.

Erza slapped Gray. He's now back to his senses. His fists were clenched and he's sweating heavily. He then sat down and stroke his hair.

"We're not capable entering her private life!"

"Erza!..." He bit his lip. Natsu stood up and looked at him. For a moment, there's a big pause.

"Let's go!"

Both ran out from the guild while Erza thought to herself "such useless idiots. Going there without even thinking! I'm outta here too!"

"Ne..Gray-sama really loves Lucy." Juvia sat down at the counter as tears flow down her cheeks. Mirajane comforted her.

"Juvia, you'll find a man that is better than Gray, I assure you."

(back at the Heartfilia mansion)

Anna and Elizabeth, Lucy's personal maids were at her door.

"Mistress! You need to eat!" They called Lucy and knocked.

There's no answer..

"What're we going to do?" Anna is confused. Lucy's been inside the room for almost 2 days. She have not eaten anything.

"I don't know Anna..I really understand her situation."

"Ugh, enough of it. You're melodramatic. You're reading lotsa romantic books and that's what you get."

"But it's true. It must be nice to be rich, but there are perks."

"Like what?"

"Like being forced to marry someone you don't like for money."

The two maids looked at each other and pitied Lucy.

They were interrupted by Jared and asked them to leave.

He entered her room without even knocking using his magic. He found her lying on the floor with her keys in her hand.

"I told you princess you can't summon anyone here when you're inside. You see I put a barrier so you can't use magic. "

Lucy lifted her head and just grinned at him. Her eyes met Jared's eyes. She couldn't move her body.

"You're killing yourself my dear wife."

"I-I'm not your future wife you moron!"

Lucy passed out. She's exhausted due to the barrier. She was carried by Jared to her bed. He looked at her with obsession in his eyes.

"You left me Lucy. For that loser guild! I can't forgive them for stealing you from me! You're mine!"

(spirit world)

"shit! I can't come Lucy! Why can't I open the gate!" Loke's having a hard time opening the gate. He entirely knew what was happening. He can't do anything. He tried many times but failed to do so. He pitied himself.

"That bastard's going to pay! Lucy! Just wait for me! I'm going to save you!" he again tried one more time. He's now at his limit and he fell down on his knees. He punched the ground and covered his face with his hand. Such weakness!

"I fathom myself! I'm so weak!" his teeth gritted.

"I promised, I would be there whenever you're in trouble! I'm so useless!"

"DAMN IT!"

(Lucy POV)

What's wrong Lucy? Afraid again? Feel like running away again? It's dark! Where am I!

Her father appeared. "Lucy, you're not going to see them anymore."

LUCYYYYY! She opened her eyes. She's perspiring heavily. Her body is numb and she can't get up. Tik tok tik tok. Where's that sound? Where am i? am I dead? Is it all a dream?

(while inside the train)

"Geez Natsu you're pathetic!" Happy said.

"It's not my fault uhnn that I-I can't ughhh" Natsu was about to vomit.

Erza punched him and put him to sleep. "You idiot."

Gray was not in the mood to laugh at Happy and Natsu pun, nor Erza punching Natsu. His thoughts were far away. He thought of Lucy. He thought about how happy he was back then when Lucy joined Fairytail.

"I'm coming Luce."

(Siegrain's room)

"Master, it seems that the fairies were on their way to Heartfilia Mansion. Shall I disguise as Zalty?"

"Do as you please Ultear."

"Yes master!"

(back at the guild)

"Master Makarov!" Mirajane said as the little old man sat down on the counter.

"It's silent here. I wonder why." He looked around but he found no trace of Natsu, Happy, Gray, Lucy and Erza.

"They went to get back Lucy."

"Such reckless idiots, youths of these days, they're not thinking enough!"

"Master misses his youthful days eh?" Mirajane smiled

"I wish I am young. " he nodded and smiled back.
