Lucy was sitting outside next to a tree staring up at the clouds in the sky. She was thinking about what Natsu said to her, about how deep inside she still loves her dad even if she says she hates him. She still doesn't understand, but she guessed that was why she kept believing he would talk to her again like he use to when she was little. She hoped that maybe her father would come to his senses, call of the wedding and want her back. But that was something she knew wasn't going to happen. The day is windy, and Lucy liked sitting outside to feel the breeze. It was relaxing, and calmed her, which was perfect since she was thinking about her father. She remembered how she spent most of her time with her mom. Her dad smiled back then. She wished it was still like that. She was surprised that she still remembered him smiling, since its been so long and the only facial expression she got from him was a frown and a glare. After her mom died he spent his time working, and never spoke to her not even on her birthday. She spent her birthday alone with her maids.

Lucy sat there a little longer before deciding to head back inside. Once she stood up she banged her head against somebody else's. She looked up to say sorry, but stopped when she saw who it was. Daren. He was grinning at her and it wasn't cute. He looked like some maniac who wanted to kill someone. Did he, by chance, want to kill her? She tried to smile, but it didn't come, for some reason staring into Daren's eyes made her scared. He use to be so nice to her, but seeing him today and seeing him before changed how she looked at him. She didn't see him as a friend anymore, more like a threat, someone she needed to watch out for. She stood up straight and tried looking normal, she waved her hand in greeting.

" Hey Daren."

" Lucy." He nodded still smiling.

Lucy turned to head back but he caught her by the arm. He wasn't smiling anymore, he went completely serious. He pulled her closer. His touch shocked her, she tried backing away but he only held on tighter. She saw something shine in his hand. Lucy was completely scared by now.

" I- I knew something was wrong with you. Ever since... my friends..." She paused staring at him, this time he gave her a happy smile. Like the look your boyfriend gives you. He took out the shiny thing he was holding and held it in front of her.

" How do you know their your friends?" He said holding a silver chain with a locket shaped as a heart in front of her face.

" Because, I trust them, they trust me. We all created this bond. But of course you'll never know."

" You do know they could be lying to you. What if their just jealous that your hanging out with me? They want you to get away from me."

" You know how hard it is to believe that? I saw you send them after Natsu. I was right there in case you forgot."

" Oh I did send them but its not what you think. You see Rustyrose got a text saying one of our comrades was getting bullied by your little pink haired friend. I sent them to help, and your little friend beat them up."

" I didn't see him get a text. I was watching you guys."

" Just because you didn't see doesn't mean it didn't happen." He grabbed her closed fists and opened them dropping the locket in her hand." Maybe you'll change your mind about us."

She watched him walk away, making sure he was gone, she opened the locket. Inside was two small things. A picture of him, and a note that had his phone number saying ' call me' . She threw it to the tree and left it there, walking back to the dorms. She couldn't trust him anymore. After hurting her friends, he ruined their friendship. As she made it to the girls dorm room she saw Natsu walking down the hall, towards the cafeteria. She ran up to him.

" Natsu!" She grabbed onto him and hugged him, which surprised him.

" Oh. Hey Lucy." He blushed. She let go, and smiled at him.

" Can I ask you something? About the fight?"

" Sure. What is it?"

" Well, um, before you started fighting with Midnight and Zancrow, did you fight anyone else?"

" Uh, I don't think so."

" You don't remember?"

" No, Well I'm pretty sure I didn't fight anyone else." He said looking at her with confusion,," Why?"

" Its nothing. I'll see you tomorrow?"

Natsu grinned, " Yeah!" Lucy left again to the girls dorm. She was foolish to actually think that Natsu would beat up someone, and without any reasons. Daren was trying to get her. She knew this time she wasn't ever going to trust him again, he ruined his last chance of trust.


The next day Lucy was sitting by the same tree, the locket she threw down was no longer there. A student perhaps probably took it. She stared up at the clouds once again, and again someone interrupted her. And again it was Daren. Who again was staring at her like a maniac who wants to kill. She got ready to leave, but he walked in front of her blocking her way. Finally she gave in and stared at him in the eye.

" What is it Daren?"

He laughed," Well, I've never seen you angry before," He held up the locket, the same one," I think someone forgot this yesterday."

" I didn't forget it." Lucy said flatly.

" I didn't think so," He sighed," I didn't want to do this but I guess I'll have too." He pulled out a knife and pointed it at her. She backed away slowly, " You see the only thing I wanted was you, and the only things I wanted to do, I wanted to do with you, I even convinced your daddy that I'm good enough for you, that I'm the only one. And then you! You had to reject me for some stupid pink haired idiot who deserves to go to hell for stealing my girlfriend!" He yelled walking faster towards her.

" I-I wasn't your girlfriend." Lucy said turning around to run. He was psycho! Running after her with a freaking knife! 'He doesn't even know what he's doing does he?' She thought. She was now running into the building, trying not to push anyone to hard. He was chasing her throughout the entire school building when she ran into Natsu, literally. He fell down, Lucy landed on top. Daren was not far behind, so she stood up fast and grabbed Natsu pulled him making him run with her. He looked at her like she was crazy, she was terrified.

" Lucy? What are you running from?" Lucy motioned behind her, Natsu looked behind seeing Daren running behind knife pointing wildly in front of him. " That idiot!" Natsu growled. He would gone back and punch him to oblivion but then another boy came out from the right corner holding freaking gun! Natsu grabbed Lucy and turned to the left as the guy started shooting aimlessly at them.

" Who brings a damn gun to school!" Lucy shouted.

" That guy obviously!" Natsu answered. The ran out of the school building. Rustyrose was in front of them blocking the way. He had a knife also. Natsu turned once again dragging Lucy behind him, now three guys with dangerous weapons were after them, and the only place Natsu could think of to get away was to leave school grounds. He ran across the street with Lucy, he stopped when she screamed and quickly moved to his right. Daren was behind them slashing out with the knife. They were all standing in the middle of the street, well except for Rustyrose and the other guy. But the guy with the gun was still aiming at them, he didn't shoot because he knew he was a terrible aim.

" Your crazy." Natsu pointed out, " Why are you trying to hurt Lucy? She didn't do anything to you!"

" Oh she did, she broke my heart."

" I don't think you had a heart to begin with." Natsu said. He heard the sound of a car's horn, he looked to his right seeing a huge truck speeding towards them, driving over the speed limit. Natsu ran across the street with Lucy at the last second. They heard a screech and looked up to see Daren getting flung back thirty feet up and across. Landing hard on the pavement. They all ran over to him, even though he was the enemy, the guy got of the truck, Zancrow he ran to Daren too. Daren's face contorted in pain, he was still alive.

" You idiot!" Daren gasped.

" Sorry." Was all he said, but then he leaned closer to Daren and the whispered to each other. Natsu saw the guy with the gun aim at him, pulling the trigger, he felt a sting on the side of his neck. It wasn't a bullet thought to Natsu's relief, it was some needle, and it made him tired, way too tired than a normal sleeping pill or something. And everything went black for Natsu, he fell to the ground, headfirst hard. Lucy was too shocked to do anything, and then she heard teachers running out of the school building towards them. When they made it to them five teachers tackled the boys down, one was calling for the ambulance.

After at lest a twenty minute wait the ambulance arrived, grabbing Daren on a stretcher and carried him to the car. They took Natsu too just in case he wasn't okay. The boy with the gun wouldn't say what was in it. And they all got expelled for having weapons on campus, but Zancrow wasn't. They all said he didn't do anything wrong, just speeding over the speed limit, but no one said that, they all said it was Daren's fault he was chasing Lucy all over the school until they ended up in the street.


It was two days since what happened to Lucy and Natsu. The good thing was Daren and his gang, except Zancrow was expelled, The bad thing was, Natsu still wasn't awake. Everyone was worried about him. He wasn't in his usual slumber, it was a forced one, from the drug. The doctors said he would be awake soon, but even they didn't know when, since they didn't know how much was shot at him. Lucy visited him for the past two days, spending the morning there with all her friends just to check on him. She was just there, but now she was standing in the hallway, it was quiet, everyone was in class, except for her. She told the teacher she was going to the nurses because she was getting a headache, but all she wanted was fresh air. She stood looking out the window. Lucy turned around when she heard footsteps coming her way.

Zancrow was now standing before her, his face expressionless. He reached out for her arms but she turned away and tried to run. But his arms were around her. His hand covered her mouth so she couldn't scream, and his other arm grabbing her, dragging her through the hall. She was kicking, and her screams were muffled by his hand. When they reached outside, he dumped her in a car and got in sitting next to her.

" What do you want from me?"

He grinned," Its not you we want."


Natsu woke up to the bright light out his window. His body was sore, so when he sat up straight he had to grit his teeth from the pain. He was going to stand up when someone slammed the door open to the room. Mira was standing there along with Elfman, both trying to catch their breath, both with a terrified look.

" Whats wrong?" Natsu asked.

" Its Lucy she's gone!" Mira shouted.

" What do you mean she's gone?"

" I mean she disappeared, vanished into thin air, we can't find her!" Natsu jumped out of the bed, anger boiling up inside him.

" I'm going to find her."

" You don't know where she is."

" Then I'll find someone who does."
