Chapter 4
"Zeref, what's wrong? I found you, so nothing should be wrong." Lucy said.
"It's bad because of the people who sent you here." Zeref said.
"What? There are other people here?" Lucy asked.
"Yes. They've known about me being on the island for a long time and they've tried almost everything to lure me into their hands. And, now they're-" Zeref began to say.
"Get down!" Lucy exclaimed, tackling him down to the ground.
Just as she did, multiple arrows of black light came from behind the trees they stood in front of. The arrows just barely went over Lucy's head, striking the other trees around them and killed the trees instantly. Lucy was able to sense them before they were shot at the two of them.
"Damn, that was close." Lucy said.
"It's them. They sent those out as warning shots to tell us that they're watching us." Zeref said. Lucy helped pulled him onto his feet.
"In that case, we'd better get moving. I can easily carry you off of the island with me." Lucy said. Zeref looked down with a sad look in his face.
"What is it?" asked Lucy.
"Lucy, the moment you landed on the island, you were trapped. No one but the people who are already on the island can go in and out as they please. They've put up a barrier around the island so that when you enter, you can't leave. That's why it's so dangerous here, because of that and them." explained Zeref. Lucy's eyes widen when she heard that. She looked down with an angered expression, but soon shook it off.
"Fine, then let's just find and take of them. That should be simple enough." said Lucy. Zeref was about to say something, but something interrupted him.
"That won't be as easy as you think." someone said.
Lucy looked around, but didn't see anything or anyone around but Zeref and herself. Suddenly, something jumped out from some nearby bushes and landed on near Lucy and Zeref. It was a man who appeared to be somewhere around Lucy's age, he had raven black hair with bangs that was covering one of his eyes, which were a bright gold color. He wore gray pants like Natsu's and a black long sleeve shirt that had a weird mark of an arrow piercing what looks like the symbol that Makarov wears for the wizard saints.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked.
"My name is Kai. And I'm sure you can guess who I'm with." he said. Lucy looked at him with anger and began to tightly clench her fists and grit her teeth.
"You're one of the people who are after Zeref?" Lucy growled.
"And now that you're hear, that will be easier to do and we'll be able to catch a bigger price as well." Kai said with a smirk. Lucy lunged at him and tried to punch him, but he suddenly vanished, causing her to the tree behind him, breaking it in half. She looked around the area, but couldn't pick up his scent or sense or see him.
"Damn. He got away." Lucy said under her breath.
"Lucy, this really isn't good. They're stronger than you think." Zeref said.
"That's not what I care about. They're after you and now me and since we're stuck here, they're dead." Lucy said, slamming her fist against the palm of her hand.
Zeref looked at Lucy with a blank expression, he hadn't thought that Lucy would go to such extremes for him. Not only that, but he noticed something that Lucy hasn't. On the tips of her fingertips, he could see them slowly, but gradually, turning pitch black. It started after that black mist appeared between them. He then had the feeling something bad was going to happen if that continued.
"Hey, Let's get going. We have to start finding them and do it soon." Lucy said, grabbing Zeref's wrists and pulling him behind her. As she was, Zeref noticed that the black on her fingers began to spread over her fingers even faster. Zeref looked sadly at this and then at the back of Lucy's head.
"I'm sorry...Lucy." Zeref thought.

On the same island, in an old stone structure, Kai was walking up to what looked like throne where someone was sitting. He got down on one knee in front of it.
"What did you find out?" the man on the throne said.
"She's here. And she seems determined to protect him." Kai said.
"Heh. We'll see how far she's willing to go." the man said with a smirk.
