Hey there peeps! Welcome back to the fanfiction, 'Let's Play Hangman'!
Before I start, Let me say thank you to everyone who review, followed or favorited this story!
Now, I am very excited to introduce our guest, Erza Scarlet!
Erza: So, let's get down to business. You want me to do the disclaimer and try to make it interesting, correct?
IW: Err, yeah I guess…
Erza: Before I begin, could I ask one question?
IW: Yes, what is it?
Erza: Where is my strawberry cheesecake that you promised me?
IW: *scratches head nervously* A-ano, Natsu and Happy came by and burnt it.
Erza: Okay, I shall do the disclaimer quickly before I go and SMASH THAT BAKA IN THE WAL!
Erza: *saying it super fast* Isolated Wilderness does not own Fairy Tail. *Promptly leaves running*
IW: Okay, that was not unexpected, I must say! *Takes out a plate of cheesecake from behind the back and grins evilly* Let's begin!
Chapter 5- The Fifth Wave
"Luuuuucccy!? Where are you? C'mon!" Natsu yelled for the trillionth time in one hour.
"Natsu, just because you shout she won't come running back. Even you with your rock head must know that, huh?" Happy said, sighing.
"Yeah, but there's no other way to find Luce, is there?" Natsu said, scratching his head uninterestedly.
"Uh, Natsu, your nose? Track her smell? You know, your Dragon Slayer and developed senses and stuff?" Happy replied.
"Oh yeah! I forgot about that!" Natsu said grinning.
They continued looking around Magnolia, searching blindly for Lucy. There was no way that they could have known that a lead was right before them. If only they had thought to look in the cliché dark alleyway that was right before them…
A cloaked person smirked sinisterly from under their hood.
#WHAT'S WITH THIS LINE BREAK?!-
Lucy walked, as if she was hypnotized, to where the voice was calling her. It was as if a person was whispering in her consciousness, telling her and directing her where to go. She knocked over a pot that was randomly placed on the side of the road, making if fall and shatter into pieces. She didn't react to it, instead walking past as if she didn't see or hear it.
Lucy blinked and right eye turned gray, a stormy gray. It was as if it was alive, a separate organism that existed within Lucy. She grinned, a smile that didn't belong to Lucy.
Lucy arrived at the threshold of an old, run-down and crumbling house. She knocked and entered.
Meanwhile, at the guild, Makarov was still holed up in his office, not joining in as he usually did with the drinking and fighting. He was barely able to be seen, because of an enormous stack of thick books that covered his desk and made a teetering pile. Some titles read: Shades of gray, Celestial Magic, the Fifth Wave and so on. Makarov was currently leafing through another book, muttering as he went.
"No, no, and no, nope, not this, not this one either…" Before his eyes lighted up happily, "Ah, yes! Here it is! I finally found it!" Makarov moaned, and prominent dark circles could be seen under his eyes.
Again, meanwhile, Natsu and Happy were still going around Magnolia in search of Lucy.
"Damn, I thought we had it there when we caught Lucy's scent. It really sucked when it turned out that it was when she went to an ice cream shop… she could've going with us, you know?" Natsu said.
"That's what you're hung up about?" Happy said.
"Duh. I mean, how could she bear to go without me?" Natsu exclaimed, not noticing the little slip up about saying 'me' not 'us'.
"You lllliiiikkkkeee her!" Happy rolled his tongue, saying his 'line'.
"Oi! Shut up!" Natsu yelled at the blue Exceed.
"Denying! First stage of love! Accept it Natsu, you lllliiiikkkkeee her!" Happy said laughing. Happy then noticed Natsu wasn't there. At the same moment, he felt a creepy and frightening aura looming up behind him.
"Nats…u?" Happy trailed off. The aura was revealed. Natsu had a scrunched up face, probably attempting an angry face.
"HAHAHAHA! Natsu, was that supposed to be an angry face?"
"Whatever. Let's find Lucy." Natsu shot back at Happy, who was now rolling on the floor laughing his guts out. Natsu stomped off, with Happy following behind him.
"Wait… I think I smell Lucy around here. Recent, too." Natsu sniffed the air, attracting many looks from the people around them. He crawled to an old, run-down and crumbling house. (A/N: Do you guys see what I'm getting at? Anyone?)
#I WONDER WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT LINE BREAK-
Makarov opened up the hard found book and his sleepy eyes roamed the thick volumes of the thick book. The title of this particular book was 'The era of the Gray'. Makarov's eyes drooped and hen he slumped on his table, knocking a few stacks of books down, eliciting a large thump! From it.
When his eyes closed, a figure slipped in without a sound and snatched two books: The era of the Gray and The Fifth Wave. The figure then left, leaving everything undisturbed. All was quiet.
What the guild, Makarov and Natsu didn't know was that Lucy's very identity, her very existence and life was being chipped away, bit by bit…
So who thinks this chapter was awesome and deserved a review? C'mon people give me a review! I'm starving for them! (That was most definitely not me guilt tripping you! Nope, definitely not at all.)
