Chapter 8

Lucy was unconscious as the bandits thumped through the woods her eyes slowly opened revealing the used - to - be vibrant, chocolate brown eyes, her mind a haze and a dead sickening feeling burst through her stomach She was being carried on one of the bandits back, her spine bounced on his giving a slight jolt to the back, every bounce made her view clearer. She was being carried through the lush green forest wild shrubs popped everywhere though it was also different in this part of the forest. Vines hung on the branches of the wooden trees decorating the top half making it look like if it was a green sky and yellow light bursting through the cracks. If you looked closely you could see small pink rose budded flowers blooming on the vines, giving a sweet aroma in the air. She still did not know where the princess Kimora was she yearned to see her kind face that brought Joy and Hope to her broken Heart

As time went on Lucy could see the clearing up ahead. She could see a large gray stone structure bursting forth of a hill is this the temple? she thought the building was old the structure, two ancient pillars were the roots of the Temple climbing all the way to the top, quartz stone were furnished beautifully but it still looks very... Old, ancient, creepy. The band went through the door less entrance of the Temple strange inscriptions we re on the walls they were written in... she knew what language it was but she couldn't put her finger on it. As she thought about what the writing was she didn't realize or feel the slumber that crushed her like a weight and slowly pour into her mind like sand and she fell asleep almost immediately

The day before...

"Natsu... Natsu...Natsu!" Natsu snapped out of his thoughts as he heard Mirajane "Natsu... your sandwich..." she said pointing to a plate with 2 sandwiches "Thanks Mira" he replied gloomily A dark gloomy aura came from him. "Natsu is something wrong" Mirajane asked concerned "No... nothing... at all" he said biting the sandwich Something is wrong and he's not telling me Mirajane thought "What's wrong birdbrain did something burn you up?" Mirajane looked up to see Gray leaning on the table This isn't going to end well... thought Mirajane and as if on queue Natsu suddenly got up causing the chair he was sitting in to crash to the ground "I said I'm fine! Don't you get it?! Just leave me alone!" he said glaring at Gray, pure rage was flowing out of him, and ran out the hall

Gray's smirk instantly vanished from his face "Something's definitely wrong with flame head" "I know that too, Gray I know that too" replied Mirajane.

Natsu had stormed out the guild hall, angrily he looked as if a demon had possessed him Damn you Gray! How dare you piss me off even more when I'm already frickin pissed off! you damn!... you damn! then he stopped and looked around he was too busy ranting in his head that he didn't even notice where he was and what he was doing

He just realized that he was in the town's square beating up a poor wall that did no harm as if the wall was Gray himself Ah well... seems like gramps has to pay another bill he thought running his fingers through his hair. Then something clicked in his mind. No not clicked... told, like a gear fell in place, a 6th sense or a... conscience. Go... it said Go... it repeated GO!... it yelled he stumbled forward at the volume of the voice bonking into someone's shoulder "Move man!" the man said but it sounded soo far away.

The voice... sounded soo familiar pictures, images flowed passed his eyes each picture flickered in each picture was him when he was little when he was with... when he was with... Igneel. Igneel! the voice was Igneel's! Go it repeated But where?... he immediately thought Where do you think... it said annoyed as if he was supposed to know I don't know... he responded back Where did you want be... What did you want to do in the first place... What should have you done... Igneel thundered with questions

Stop speakin' in riddles old man! he thought frustrated I never knew you were soo dense, Natsu Igneel replied as if he was smacking his head Well! that's because you left me all by myself! with nothing but that scarf you gave me! he screamed in his mind This is no time to blame who's fault it is and what is right because what I am going to say is more important so listen up! he roared Yeah, Yeah whatever continue he thought agitated The only 3 words Igneel said was Go find Lucy

And with that before he could object he went spiraling down space and time.

He opened his eyes slowly not knowing what happened his face hot... er... hotter than usual his vision a blur, his senses just awakening, he felt something on his forehead like a papery-fabric something covered his feet, his body not the head then the thing he was feeling became clearer It's a blanket but at that exact moment his forehead burned, his body ached.

Pain... was what he thought Then finally his vision became clearer I'm in the... he was laying in a cot with a chair near the bed Guild... and he passed out

He had a nightmare a masked person with a large sword was holding Lucy by the hair, sword by her neck she was screaming and kicking in pain, he was running towards her reaching out to her with his arms but the more he ran the farther they were and the man sliced her throat her head rolling to the ground, her blood spilling "Natsu" she said and he woke up screaming

Mirajane's P.O.V

He woke up screaming as If someone died his hands covering his eyes. Me and Gray found him laying on the ground beside a shattered wall and blood pouring out of him his hands were caked with cement and blisters as if he destroyed something

"Natsu! Natsu! Oh my god! are you okay?" I pulled his hands away from his eyes Now he was crying wide eyed and tears running he said "Lucy"
