Lucky or unlucky Lucy Heartfilia
Chapter 6
The next morning, Lucy had gotten changed and began making breakfast for the company she had now living inside her apartment, leaning over the kitchen side, memories of the night before flooded her mind. That couldn't have been.. Her mothers hand could it? But the ring… it was identical.
Giving out a small sigh, she turned the stove on and began starting breakfast.
Halfway threw, the smell wavered around the apartment, the red haired equip mage turned in her sleep and opened her eye's. "Something smells good" Lucy couldn't help but giggle, when that woman sleeps she's just like an ordinary person that isn't with a crazy arse guild.
" Breakfast won't be long Erza, why don't you wake up Natsu and Happy then go wash up before eating? I'll grab some coffee" spoke up the blonde. Sounds of shouting, arguing and fighting erupted from near her bed, Lucy figured this would happen. Natsu would normally wake up on his own accord.
Placing the breakfast on the table along with 2 coffee's and a tea for Natsu, Lucy wasn't having him being anymore hyperactive than he already was. Her eyes softened as the 3 guests made their way to the table, everything so far, could she take anymore of it before she finally went crazy?

Our hero and heroines walked into a very lively guild that morning, it was like the way it had been, but Erza looked around and the Master was no where to be seen.
"This is rather weird," spoke Erza, the blonde next to her nodded while Natsu sniffed out someone to fight with. Lucy wrapped and arm around her stomach, " I don't know I suddenly have a bad feeling about this,"
Mira looked up seeing Lucy and Erza at the door, " Oh Lucy, your finally here, the master asked me to send you upstairs to his office when you got here, he has some information for you." Stiffing up, Lucy looked to Erza and sighed, " I hate it when I'm right" Lucy began walking off in the direction of the stairs, " Would you like me to assist you Lucy?" spoke Erza, but she only turned around and smiled.
"Erza, why don't you go out and enjoy yourself today ok? I promise I wont leave the guild without Natsu," With that the blonde disappeared upstairs and down the hallway.
Mira looked to the redhaired who looked shocked, " I … don't know what to say?" Mira just laughed to her, " Erza, that's Lucy's way of saying go and have fun ok? If anything happens I'll send Lisanna or Elfman for you ok?" rubbing the back of her hair, the red head nodded, " I understand, alright I'll go." With that Erza left the guild, heading to one place she knew that might bring some answers.

Deep in the forest, was a man wearing a clock and hood, his head looking down to the ground when he heard clanking of armour heading his way, look up from under the hood, he gave out a small smile. " you've finally come." the woman in armour couldn't help but keep up a large smirk.
" yeah, I didn't want to be separate from Lucy with all this crisis, the master wished to speak to her about something in private so, she kind told me to go and enjoy myself but how can I? not while that man is still lose in town."
The clocked figure took down his hood revealing Jellal, " She is a kind person, but I also have some information for you about this man, and its not pretty." this caused Erza to look at Jellal, this is what she needed at the moment. To try and help protect her younger sister. " Does this have any connection to what I contacted you with last night?"
Jellal nodded and looked up to the sky, " I went to Magnolia's graveyard, and there was a large panic around one of the gravestones, I'm pretty sure you can guess who's," Erza's eye's widened. "Lalya Heartfilia's"

Back at the guild, Lucy was staring at the Master, " So…that was my mothers hand.. And wedding ring I saw in my sink last night.." the master nodded sadly, " someone's dug up your mothers grave, I had to go and confirm it. I do not know why the person has decided to disturb the resting place of your mother, or why they are doing this to you my child, but it's getting even more dangerous."
Lucy looked down to the ground, as she held her mothers wedding ring, After getting permission of Lucy last night, Natsu burned the hand but promised to keep the Ring unscaved. Lucy held the ring close to her chest, " I loved my mother so much…. I don't understand it really."
A knock on the door came and opened, revealing Levy with a small brown paper bag, "Lucy, this was left on the front of the guild door, this morning addressed to you." Lucy stared at the bag, as she sat in the chair, next to the Masters desk, she gave the master a look and then took the bag of her best friend. Opening it up, inside was a small parcel. Taking it she un did the neatly tied ribbon, and as she opened the lid, chocolate eye's widened as she let out a scream throwing the box down to the floor.
Natsu had heard the scream and was up into the office as fast as he could move, Lucy was gripping onto her best friend while on the floor laid an over turned box, but even to Natsu's nose it smelt unpleasant.
He walked closer along with the Master, and pulled the box up off the floor. There laid, half a human heart, it looked freshly cut out, but it smelt years old. On the bottom of the box was another note for Lucy.
Lucy,
Isn't this game wonderful and fun! I gave you your mothers hand and ring, and now I give you half of her heart, the other half will be delivered sometime later today. Do not sweat the details on how I managed to make it as real as possible. That is none of your concern.
Remember your little friends wont be around forever, an if I have to go to extreame lengths to finally get you alone again I will do, be warned!
Love, uncle
Natsu walked over and knelt down to Lucy bringing her into his arms, holding her tightly, "I've had just about enough of this person Lucy, I don't like seeing you scared and upset, I am going to make sure this guy pays. He will not harm you I promise." the blonde just clutched onto him.

Across town, Gray, Juvia and wendy wasn't having much look in looking for this person, and Gray was getting annoyed with Juvia, she isn't clingy a much as she use to be, the poor boy had finally developed feelings for the woman in front of him, who walked with her head down. Running a hand threw his rough spiky blue hair, he looked down to Wendy, she was with them to track down the scent of this man.
He was about to give up and try talking when Wendy shot to the right, " THIS WAY!" she sprinted off causing the two companions to run after her, according to Gray, Wendy is a fast runner for a rugrat.
"Wait up Wendy!" shouted the poor boy, Wendy though, didn't listen to him, she turned a sharp corner to the left, leading them down to the entrance to Magnolia. That's when he saw it, a person wearing a ragged cloak as the person in front of them ran, it blew up a little revealing wealthy rich shoes and trousers, this had to be the guy. Once leaving the town, Wendy turned right, following all the way down to the river bank.
Gray was getting fed up of this long chase that the man in front of them was putting them threw, he suddenly stopped and placed his hands together and twisted to the left a little, " ICE MAKE! FLOOR!" going from his feet all the way down to touching the river, the whole ground was covered in a thick layer of ice, causing both girls to slip from the unexpected turn, they would have argued but Gray ran forward in front of them where the guy was having trouble standing up after falling on the surprise icy fall.
"Now I've got you, you bastard!" he spoke, grabbing the man by his cloak, and brought him up off the ground, only to be upper cut in the chin, the man stood back on his feet, the hood still hiding his face.
"Well I wasn't expecting to be caught so easily by you fairy freaks!" the man spoke, indeed this was the man, raspy voice, Wendy and Juvia stood next to Gray, Wind, Ice and Water magic.
" so you are the one that hurt Lucy! Show us your face you coward!" spoke Gray, with deep anger in his voice, he got ready to launch another attack as he got back into his Ice making magic stance. " oh that blonde? Well at the moment I can imagine her being in a panic scared out of her wits, from the little gift I left her."
Juvia stepped up and sent a powerful blast of water to the man, only for it to be dodged, " Now, now take it easy, my work with that girl isn't finished yet and I don't intend to let you three interrupt me until it is finished!" he spoke, man this raspy voice was getting on gray's nerves.
"Why .. And what do you want with Lucy? What's she ever done to you?" spoke up Wendy, she was a nice little girl, main magic support and healing but when she got angry and wanted to fight, then her magic could be turned from healing to dealing the damage.
" Well, considering that she turned me down many times after her father tried to marry us off, then there is the case when you all disappeared for 7 years, her father got very annoying with it then. It wasn't hard to slip him some posion in a small drink of tea while he worked in his tent." spoke the mystery man, so this guy's been after Lucy for years!
" Enough chatter though, time for me to make my exit!" he raised his hands, and a bright light erupted but, the three fairy tail wizards wasn't going to allow him to leave that easily. They all sent an attack at him, he dodged Gray and Juvia's, but Wendy's Roar of the wind dragon hit him, he fell back hitting a tree, the hood fell down. "Well, I should have known it wouldn't have been easy escaping a dragon slayer."
Gray though, stood there in a stand still, no this couldn't be, why was it him? " Gray? Be on your guard he's going to try and attack again," spoke Juvia, she stood in front but when he didn't answer she turned to face him a little bit, Gray was in pure shock. But why? She then looked from Gray to the man, Apart from the slit throat and eye's this man looked almost identical to Gray.
This made Juvia mad, she stood in front of gray and sent out another water attack, causing the man to dodge and smirk, " What? Can't say anything Gray? Can't move? Good! Be easier to take down your friends!" the man placed his hands together and sent out sparks of dark lightning to Juvia, she didn't have time to dodge, she was flown back into Gray's arms. Since she was made with Water as well as being human, she was out for the count.
The man smirked as Wendy was still standing, " hmm you seem to be good enough for what I need" the young girls face frowned, " I don't like you, you hurt Lucy, and Juvia! And you've seemed to do something to Gray! I'm not afraid of you!" she ran off to the side and breathed in, " ROAR OF THE WIND-" she was cut off by the man going behind her at an alarming speed rate and send a jolt of black lighting threw her back, her screams filled the whole forest.
That was it, Gray had enough, " so… you've hurt my friends, you've come back from the grave to haunt me, I've had enough!" he charged forward "ICE MAKE! SWORDS!" in his hands formed the shapes of two large swords, and swung, the man holding Wendy moved to the side at ease, "Slow, too slow" Gray slashed to the side again, but stopped when the guy used Wendy's body as a shield.
" my my Gray, you seriously loose your temper easily, must be because of that salamander, you use to be such a patient young lad." Gray got even more pissed off, " you've been stalking us! You almost Killed Lucy! You don't have any right to comment anything about me you bastard!"
The man laughed his raspy voice really was beginning to get on Gray's nerves, he stood there, able to dodge most of gray's attacks apart from one on the upper right arm and lower left knee. "Oh this is getting very boring very fast, Gray, do me a favour and give a message to Lucy Heartfilia, if she ever wants to see this little dragon slayer again, to meet me, on her own. At the Heartfilia mansion in 3 days, otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill." he flew his hand out and a large dark magic circle appeared, Gray didn't have enough time to dodge, arrows of dark lightning flew out hitting him multiple times.
The man in front of them kept laughing, " Goodbye Gray, maybe we will meet again." he soon enough vanished. Causing Gray to struggle getting up, hitting his fist on the ground just as clanking of metal was heard, looking to his left as he struggled to get up on his knee's, red hair could be seen, with a flash of light blue.
"Erza…." the woman knelt down to Gray, "Gray what happened? We heard screaming and a fight, was it him?" spoke Erza with concern, Gray nodded " yeah, I wasn't strong enough, I wasn't prepared for it to be him, for him to come back. I lost control… I couldn't protect…. Wendy." Gray answered and Erza looked around Wendy was no where in sight.
"WHo was it gray? I need a name!" Erza spoke sharp snapping back to the boy, Gray held his head down, gritting his teeth together. "His name, is knight… my older brother." Both Jellal and Erza's eye's widened, they did not expect this turn of events, Gray's older brother?
