I wasn't going to update this for a few days, but I couldn't put it off. All day long this chapter was rushing threw my head, so I caved and wrote it. It's a little longer than I had anticipated so I will break it into two chapters.

I hope you all enjoy it.

Disclaimer... I do not own Fairy Tail.

Chapter 2

AN POV (Just after Lucy Left)

The guild has been quiet now for what seems like an eternity. No one spoke, no one dared to ask why Lucy left. For they all knew that each and everyone of them had played some part in her departure. How could they understand what she must have felt when she couldn't take the loneliness any longer and left. Most cried and cried, until one person spoke up.

"Gramps, what do you mean Lucy left? when did this happen?" blonde headed mage Laxus asked.

"She came crying to me earlier today, begging me to let her leave. So I had no choice but to allow her to go!" Master said with a tear in his eye.

"You're loosing it old man. We've been here all morning and other than that black haired chick, no one has entered your office," Laxus said with a low growl.

"IDIOTS! all of you are dammed idiots. Lucy has been with us for a few years now and NOT ONE of you recognized her earlier. No wonder she felt so lonely here and wanted to leave," Master said angrily, as his eyes looked around the guild. "And you Dragon Slayers are the worst... all those enhanced senses and you never recognized your own Nakama," he said as he stared at Laxus in particular.

"WOW, that was Bunny Girl in black, I never would have guessed... Just a second now, she never had her keys or whip with her and we know Lucy never goes anywhere without them," Gajeel said as he looked towards the floor with embarrassment.

"I'm sure she never took them because she didn't think she would need them, because today is her Birthday. She was probably expecting her friends to throw a party. Imagine the horror, Fairy Tail, who will have a party for anything, at anytime and you all forget such a special day for your Nakama... I'm so disappointed in you brats. Think about what you've done," Master said as he walked back to his office and slammed the door.

The guild was quiet again, except for a few scattered people who were crying.

AN POV (Later That Afternoon)

Everyone was still trying to figure out what had just happened, when two figures appeared at the center of the guild with a puff of smoke.

"I'm Layla and this is my husband Jude Heartfillia. We need to see Lucy..." said the female.

The guild remained quiet, not because two strangers just appeared out of nowhere, but because not one person in the guild could answer their question. A few moments passed in silence...

The tall blonde elegant woman spoke again, "Where is Lucy," she asked as she looked to be upset. "Do not make me ask again."

"We know she's here... recently we heard news that some Fairy Tail members, who were stuck on that island and thought lost, were now rescued," said the tall blonde man with a beard. "My wife just asked a question, WHERE IS OUR DAUGHTER?" he shouted.

Master came running out of his office yelling, "WHAT IS IT NOW?" He stopped and noticed the two figures standing at the center of the guild.

"Who are you and what business do you have here?" Master demanded.

"We are Lucy's parents. We need to speak with her right away," the blonde woman said. "My patience is wearing thin little man."

"I don't understand, Lucy's mother died in x777 and her father passed away just a few months before we were rescued from the island. So explain who you are, RIGHT NOW," Master frustratingly said as started to grow in size.

The Blonde female turned to the male by her side and said, "Emrys! we don't have time for any more of this foolishness. We only have nine hours till midnight and we need answers... NOW!" She said as smoke surrounded and encased her and Emrys.

When the smoke cleared it revealed two totally different people. The blond female was no more. Her now curly auburn hair reached down to the back of her knees and she wore a long dark brown cloak that hung just above the floor. Gone was the refined elegant blonde that once stood before them. Now standing before them was a dark menacing looking woman with eyes as black as coal. Her arm was outstretched and she was now holding a long wooden staff with a red dragon emblem at the top. The eyes of the dragon staff glowed a bright red, which lightly pulsated.

Standing beside her was a now shorter man with long white hair. He still had a beard but now it was all white like his hair and the same length, that reached down to his chest. He had on a similar cloak as the female except his cloak was black and was somewhat tattered. His brown eyes glistened in the light as he stared out over the guild. He too held a staff, but his staff looked totally different than the females. His staff was as long as the others staff, but it was wrapped by several branches that wove itself down to the base. At the top of his staff was several wooden fingers that held and enclosed a large blue glowing gem that also pulsated.

"I agree Morgana, let's speed this up. Master Macao, where is our daughter, Lucy," Emrys said as he looked at Macao sitting, who was sitting at a table with Romeo and Wakaba.

"I-I don't k-know wh-ere she is-s," he stuttered as he looked at the strangers and then up to Master as if to ask for his help.

"I'm the MASTER here," Makarov growled. "Direct your questions to me."

"Stay out of this little man, you are trying my patience," Morgana said with an evil stare. "Do not make me repeat myself!"

"Now Macao, this is the seventh year that we have shown up here on this very day. Did we not tell you many times before to keep Lucy here on this day," Morgana said with an authoritative voice. "Did we not have this conversation before? So I ask you one final time... WHERE IS LUCY?"

"I'm s-so SORRY, it slipped my mind, with everything that has been going on since they returned," he said with a hint of tears in his eyes. He knew he messed up on this one.

"Enough excuses, we've asked several times where Lucy is and thus far no one has answered... this is on your heads," Emrys said as he pointed his staff at Macao. A blinding flash of light hit Macao and when the light died down Macao was encased in stone.

"NOW! WHERE THE HELL IS MY DAUGHTER," Emrys roared as he pointed his staff at Romeo and Wakaba. "Answer quickly or we lay waste to this place and all who reside here."

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MACAO," demanded Master as steam came out of his nostrils.

Morgana raised her staff and pointed it at Makarov, who in turn looked at Freed and nodded. Freed removed his sword and chanted a spell, creating a set of runes that surrounded the two strangers. The runes were in the shape of a square box with a repeating pattern.

"Now I ask the questions?" smirked Makarov.

"What manner of joke is this supposed to be," asked Morgana. "You have no idea who we are, do you?" she laughed as she looked down at the runes on the floor.

"I don't know who you are... but that is a very powerful trap that only Freed has the power to remove," Master said as he laughed back at Morgana.

"Is that so! please Freed, read me the incantation," Morgana said as she laughed.

"Sure if you like, but it won't help you escape. Only I know the counter spell," Freed smirked. "The spell is as follows... I Freed Justine call upon the Goddess Matrona to lend me your power to bind these beings."

"HAHAHA!" they both doubled over and burst out laughing.

"Morgana, this really is a den of fools," Emrys said as he stopped laughing and stared back at Freed. "You, young man... you are AN idiot."

"HUH! What?" said Freed as he took a step back. "What do you mean?"

"Like we said before, you have no idea who we are, DO YOU?" Emrys said as he looked at Morgana and she nodded.

"You think to hold me by creating this trap... not only is it a weak trap," she laughingly said as she stepped over the runes to the other side followed by Emrys, "but, you called upon MY POWERS to trap us, such ignorance or is it just plain stupidity."

Morgana looked around the guild, while pointing her staff as she looked. She came to a stop at Romeo and Wakaba. Then a blinding green light appeared around Romeo and Wakaba and when it dissipated, they were both encased in a large green crystal.

Everyone gasped as their Nakama were gone. Fear ran through the guild as everyone panicked and looked to their Master for help.

"Now! Freed, would you like to try that again," Morgana smirked and stared at Freed, who shook his head, no. "Good! Now I will ask one last time and there will be no more warnings... WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER, LUCY?"

That was so much fun writing... I guess the proverbial S# t hit the fan. You'll have to wait till the next chapter to see how this turns out. HEHEHE.

BTW, this will have a Lucy and someone pairing but it won't be Natsu. Sorry to the Natsu fans, but my other story has a Natsu and Lucy Pairing. It will either be Lucy and Sting or Lucy and Laxus (my favorite pairing BTW). I still haven't quite decided yet, but I know where I'm leaning. LOL

Please let me know what you think of my story so far.
