Natsu slammed his hands down on the table, he was upset, angry pissed off. Lucy was kidnapped, by Daren's friends. And he couldn't do anything about it. No one knew where they took her. The only thing they did know was when she went missing. Natsu's currently sitting with his friends in the cafeteria discussing, what they should do. Natsu was getting impatient he stood up slamming his fists on the table once again startling the group. They looked up to him seeing how pissed off he was.

" I can't take it anymore! Loke you must know where they went!"

" Why me?" Loke asked confused.

" I don't know. Erza?"

Erza shrugged, " Sorry Natsu, I don't know."

" Maybe you should calm down, I'm sure we'll find her. We'll do all we can to find some information. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get some today." Lisanna said.

" I can't wait, Lucy needs us!" Natsu complained.

" We'll complaining isn't going to get us anywhere." Erza said.

" Thats why I said we should just find them, walk up to them and then beat them to a pulp!"

" And we're gonna do that how? Must I repeat that we don't know where she is or any of Daren's friends are?"

Natsu growled. Turned around and stormed out of the cafeteria. He didn't know where he was going, just that he needed to go somewhere, anywhere, so that he might run into Daren or Zancrow so he can beat them up. He headed to the front of the school and waited there. Thinking. Yes, thinking, for once Natsu was trying to think, but about how he should beat them, how he was going to violently hack them to pieces, burn them to a crisp and then feed their ashes to some dog. Yes he was going insane. It's only been less than a day since Lucy disappeared, and Natsu woke up in the hospital. He paced around the school yard only ending back where he came from. Then Loke came walking behind him.

" Natsu. I think I may have some info on the whereabouts of Lucy."

" What! Really? Where? Where is she?"

Loke shook his finger at him, " Nah uh, If I tell you you'll just run after her without thinking. We need a plan first."

" To hell with the plan, Lucy's in danger and I need to help her!"

" Yeah well, if you just rush in without thinking, hows that going to help her? Sure you'll help her get killed..."

" Oh shut up Loke and tell me what you know."

" How can I you told me to shut up."

" Yet you didn't shut up. So spill it."

" ugh, fine, so we found a video tape from the schools security camera's-"

" There's security camera's here? I didn't know that..."

" Yeah well, from what I saw, it was Zancrow. Lucy was standing in the hall looking out the window when he snuck up behind her. He grabbed her dragged her out. Thats all I know right now. Everyone else is searching. Maybe if we found Zancrow we'll know where she is."

" But their all a long gone by now. What are we going to do I can't stand this!"

" Oh my gosh Natsu will you just shut up for once?" Gray yelled, walking up to them.

" Oh no I can't what if it was Juvia that was kidnapped what would you do? " Gray said nothing, " Well?"

" I would... uh... help her."

Natsu rolled his eyes, " Duh. That's what I'm trying to do, but some people just don't understand!"

" Well maybe if you calmed down for once, we'll get somewhere. " Natsu stopped talking, " Besides, Erza thinks she knows where they are." Natsu brightened up.

" Really?"

Gray nodded, " But we're coming with you know, we're not going to let you screw up."

They headed to the opposite side of the school to find Erza and the others. They were all standing in groups, with their cars ready to go. Natsu got in with Loke and Erza. Gray went with Juvia, Gajeel and Levy. The others Mira, Elfman and Lisanna, Jet and Droy stayed behind to inform the teachers. They drove off.

" So where exactly are they?" Natsu asked.

" Near the outskirts of town. In an old abandoned home. I found one guy that was part of Daren's gang, and followed him. Its not far from here." Erza answered.

The car stopped, Lucy found her self standing in front of a old torn up building. She didn't know where they were only that she was in Daren's territory now. Zancrow yanked her by the arm and dragged her to the door. It was dark inside. Webs hanging off the door, shelves and cabinets. It was like a haunted mansion, just not as creepy. They arrived in a room, Daren was sitting on the couch, somehow, he wasn't as hurt as she thought he'd be. He looked up seeing her shocked face.

" Ah, I see you must be wondering why I'm not in the hospital. It seems I wasn't as hurt as they thought. Though I do feel sore all over." He said rubbing his arm.

" What do you want."

" Want? Oh. You see, you should already know. I'm sure you do don't you." She said nothing, " Well then, its you, and not you. I want you for myself but I want to beat Natsu personally."

" You won't, he's better than you. He'll come, and beat you."

" Oh? And why do you trust him so much?"

" Because I... becauseIlovehim." She said in a rush.

" I'm sorry? What did you say? Speak up."

" I said I love him. And I hate you, you hurt people for your own petty reasons!"

The room went completely silent, Daren was grinning, Lucy's face was flushed with anger. She wanted to get out. She really didn't want Natsu to get here and get hurt again. She didn't want any of her friends to get her. And dear lord did she just say she loves Natsu out loud?

" Well that was interesting. Sorry princess but I can't let you leave. Not today. We'll meet your dad, get married and be happy couple. Then we can go kill your precious little friends huh deal?"

" Your insane. " She spat.

Daren chuckled, " That's one way to put it. If you only came with me the first time. Think of all that we could have avoided."

" Well its to late to change it right, but I can still change what's going to come, and I'm not coming with you. I'm not going to see my father and I'm defiantly not getting married to you."

Daren reached out towards her, then stopped and smiled.

" Zancrow, take off her clothes,"

Lucy stepped away from Zancrow who reached towards her.

" Wait." Zancrow stopped, " We'll teach her a lesson first." He said grabbing his belt. She stared at him wide eyed. Tears forming. Instinctively she grabbed the closest thing to her a lamp, and smashed it over Zancrow's head. He dropped to the floor unconscious.

" Get away," She said grabbing a chair, " I have a chair and I'm not afraid to use it!"

" Ooo I'm scared whatcha gonna do hit me?" She swung it at him, he moved to the right lashing out with the belt hitting her side. She dropped the chair and ran to the door, tried to opened it, but it was somehow jammed. Daren was behind her, lashing out again with the belt, Lucy ducked trying to cover her face. She felt it whip across her arms, hard enough, that it started bleeding.

" Natsu..."

The door beside her slammed open, seven figures standing by the opening.

" Hey you bastard, if your looking for a fight, here we are." Natsu said stepping in. Gray, Loke, Erza, Gajeel, Juvia and Levy stepped in behind.

" Everyone..."

" Well it seems my honored guests are here just in time, I didn't even need to go out looking for you." Daren said smiling.

" We won't forgive you for hurting Lucy, I will show you no mercy." Erza said.

Daren was out numbered. It was seven against one. But he seemed confident enough.

" Guys, be careful."

" Don't worry, we got this." Gray said.

Okay I hope you like this chapter. It seems it didn't take long for them to find her huh?
