Hey peeps, welcome to Chapter 4 in Let's Play Hangman! Leave a review for this chapter and check out my other story, Turn Your Head- as usual. Okay, now I am going to do a disclaimer:

I most definitely do not own Fairy Tail! Definitely!

Chapter 4- Is this they what they call betrayal

Lucy uttered one last cry, hoping for somebody, anybody to respond.

"Natsu! Erza! Please!" No-one answered. Instead, the roaring got deafeningly loud.

Lucy's eyes gradually closed, her last image of Natsu grinning, her last sound of the crowd cheering, her last emotion of betrayal…

#LINE BREAKS ARE COOOOOLL! BY JASON, WEEKLY SORCERER-

Makarov strode towards the infirmary, deep in thought. He entered the room to see Lucy twitching and clawing at her neck. She was muttering words, too quiet for anyone to hear. Makarov saw beads of sweat forming on Lucy's forehead, and her breathing getting heavier. He sighed loudly. He was getting too old for this drama. Makarov sat down next to the twitching body of Lucy.

Natsu, meanwhile, was tracking the strange scent that had lingered in Lucy's house. He sniffed the air and motioned to Happy, who was accompanying him.

"This way, Happy!"

"Aye, sir!"

He ran in the direction where the smell had gone, but as he covered more distance, he noticed… that the scent was getting weaker. Soon it would fully disappear.

"Damn! I was just getting fired up!" Natsu stretched. He was disappointed that he couldn't catch the scum who hurt his Luce. Wait, what?! His Luce?

#YEESH, SO MANY LINE BREAKS!-

Lucy's eyes snapped open. She surveyed her surroundings. Where was she? Was she still… alive? She slapped her face and pinched her arm. Lucy nearly cried. She was alive, alright. Lucy found that she was in the infirmary of Fairy Tail. She sat up and saw that the door was open. Lucy slipped off the bed and hobbled to the exit. She crept through the guild hall silently and no-one noticed her due to the sound of the shouting and fighting.

Lucy was about to walk away when she felt a hand grab onto her arm. She looked up and saw Natsu.

"Luce! You're up! Are you okay? Do you remember anything? Do you know what happened?" Natsu bombarded her with questions.

Natsu had arrived back at the guild to inform Gramps of what had happened, when he saw Lucy come out. He instantly noticed that Lucy's eyes were dull and showed no emotion. He was worried, and rushed towards her and grasped her arm. Natsu saw that Lucy's eyes had briefly flared up in anger before they settled and turned dull again. Her eyes were nothing like the warm, vibrant cocoa eyes he once knew. They were the complete opposite, uninviting and cold. They held no warmth or kindness, but was imbued with contempt and disdain.

Natsu frowned. What was wrong with her?

"Let go of me. Do not touch me or speak to me." Lucy said. Natsu's eyes widened. Now he definitely knew something was off. She was addressing him as if she didn't know him, as if he was a stranger. Lucy glared at him, but that made him hold even tighter to her arm.

"Come on, Luce. Let's go to Gramps."

"What did I say about speaking to me? And do not give me a nickname." Lucy snatched her arm away and brushed him off. She looked him up and down condescendingly and stalked away. Natsu stood still in shock at the scene. He was too surprised to chase after her and instead opted to get to Gramps and tell him what happened.

"Gramps! Gramps!" Natsu yelled running through the doors of the guild hall. The usually rowdy and loud hall was quiet and reeked of sadness and tears. Natsu clenched his fists.

"Where's Gramps? I gotta speak to him!" Natsu shouted urgently. Mira pointed him towards Makarov's office. He pushed the doors open, and they banged against the wall.

Makarov looked up and saw Natsu.

"Oh, Natsu. What's wrong?"

"Lucy was acting weird. She was acting all regal and was like, hey, don't touch me!" Natsu pretended he was Lucy and had a fake voice.

"And her eyes, they were really cold and dull. It was like she didn't know me!" Natsu babbled. "She left, just like that."

"Wait, Lucy left?"

"Yeah that's what I said. I don't know where she went."

"Natsu. Go and chase after her. Now." Natsu saw that Gramps was trying to control himself from bursting, and he did not want to be in that same room when he did. He nodded and scampered off

"C'mon Happy! New objective! Find Lucy!"

"Aye, sir!"

So, how was it? Worthy of a review? Besides, even if I do say so myself, that was an interesting turn of events, wasn't it? I think…

Lucy brushes off Natsu and now Natsu is going after her? What will happen?
