Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail or Hunger Games

Lucy? Hey, Lucy.

Masa's many voices fell on deaf ears as Lucy was dragged out of the white room into a fully furnished dining car. Natsu pushed her towards the blue velvet couch then plopped himself down getting comfortable. Lucy still hadn't said anything. Her eyes widened a fraction in shock her mouth agape as she stared blankly at the wall while her mind was on a rampage.

What does he mean I won't last the first round? Is this mark a bad thing? Why would my mom give something to me that's gonna get me killed!?

LUCY! CALM DOWN!

Masa shouted loudly causing Lucy to break her daze. A dull throb pounded in her forehead. She lifted her head to rub it.

"That hurt, idiot." Lucy hissed.

"What hurt?"

Lucy turned and saw Natsu staring at her. She blushed and looked away.

"Nothing." She mumbled then took a look around the car. Its walls were made of light brown wood. Half of its floor was covered in blue plush carpet while the other was white marble. The glass table held extravagant mouth-watering food and expensive dining ware. In all of Lucy's life she was use to fine dining but nothing as classy as this. A snort captured her attention.

"Looks like the Fairy Key is nothing but a spoiled brat." Natsu spat the cold look back in his eyes. "Yo, Makarov, where are the sleeping cars?"

Makarov smiled as he guzzled down his drink. "Getting sick, Natsu?" He asked jokingly. Lucy tilted her head in confusion while Natsu grimaced. "Nah, not since Wendy gave me a cure." He said then followed behind Makarov as he led the way to their rooms. Lucy started to follow them but something caught her shoulder. She turned to see a beautiful woman with long bright green hair. Her dark brown eyes looked her over coolly.

"So you're it, huh?" She asked nonchalantly. Lucy gasped as she realized it was Karen Lilica. She was the only Holder strong enough to be a guard in the Grand Counsel. She was never called in for the Games, but in the mean time she practiced magic honing her skills so she could finally leave her broken down province.

Lucy, it's not nice to stare. Masa chided.

"Shut up, you're annoying the hell out of me." Lucy said then quickly covered her mouth at Karen's shocked face.

"Excuse me?" She asked her hands crossed over her chest. Lucy bowed from the waist.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Lilica, I did not mean to for you to hear that. I m-mean that was not intended for you." Lucy rushed her apology keeping her eyes on her feet. Karen began to laugh at her.

"What's with the 'Miss Lilica' kid? I can't be that much older than you." Karen stopped laughing and held out her hand expectantly. "Let me see your mark."

Lucy turned her right hand over so the palm was facing the floor. The mark had faded from a bright red to a light pink with gold dust and a small key in the fairy's belly. Karen grabbed her hand and studied the tattoo. Lucy heard Masa sigh.

What's wrong? Lucy asked mindful not to open her mouth.

I don't have a good feeling about this.

What's the worst that could…?

A sharp pain came across her face before she could finish her sentence. Lucy fell to the ground from the slap. She held her throbbing cheek and glared up and Karen.

"What the hell was that for?" Lucy shouted pushing herself up. Karen rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"If you can't even stand that little bit of pain there's no way you will survive this Game, Fairy Key."

Lucy let out a frustrated growl. "What is the Fairy Key!? That's all I've heard since my mom put this stupid mark on me!"

Masa whistled inside her head. Well, well, well, look who's got some back bone.

Lucy groaned and held her head. "And someone please tell me why there is a damn voice in my head!"

This time Karen gasped and grabbed both of Lucy's arms. She led her out of the dining car and in the direction Natsu and Makarov went.

"What are you doing?" Lucy asked frantically pulling against Karen's strong grip. The green haired woman stopped in front a metallic door and pressed her hand against it. She threw Lucy inside and shut the door behind her. Lucy fell face first into plush green carpet. She looked around and saw that everything was green.

"You wanna know what the Fairy Key is, kid? I'll tell you." Karen said capturing Lucy attention. Lucy stared at her expectantly. Karen gave a long sigh before saying.

"The Fairy pin is a beacon of hope. The one who carries the pin is hope itself." Karen held up her hand as Lucy's mouth opened. "I'm not finished." Lucy shut her mouth and listened intently. "Now, you say you hear a voice in your head?" Lucy nodded. "That voice or I should say voices are your guide and protector."

Lucy stood. Her hands balled in a fist. "If it's supposed to be protecting me then why am I here?" Lucy spat. Karen placed both of her hands on the frustrated teen. "Because Lucy Heartfilia, you are the Fairy Key. You are our hope."

"Our hope for what?" Lucy asked her face staring at the ground.

Simultaneously both Karen and Masa said, "FREEDOM."

Natsu sat crossed legged on his red bed. Makarov leaned against the door glaring down at the floor in concentration.

"Do you actually think she's the one, Master?"

"Hmmmm." Makarov turned to the figure standing in the corner of the room. "What do you think, Masa? Is the girl the real thing?"

Masa smirked. His bright blue eyes sparkling in mischief while he pushed his brown hair from his chiseled face. "Who knows?" He said casually. Natsu scoffed. "Well so much for you being helpful." Masa stared at the dragon slayer. "Tell me Natsu do you tire of these games?"

Natsu gritted his teeth and looked away. Masa stepped before him. A long black coat swung from side to side as he walked around. "Do you tire of killing the innocent? Answer me, Natsu!" Masa commanded.

"Yes." Natsu said solemnly. Masa crossed his arms and turned to Makarov with a triumphant smile. "The girl will help us to attain our goal." Makarov nodded while Natsu gave a dark laugh. "What goal could you possible meet with that brat? I bet you she'll be the first one the go after."

Masa tilted his head. "That is why I made sure you were her partner, Natsu. I know how long you waited to take down the Counsel and finally be done with these killings, but to do that we need 'that brat' as you call her."

Natsu sucked in a breath then slowly let it out. "Fine, i'll make peace with her." He said then hoped off the bed towards the door. "Oh, and Masa if you're wrong about her, I'll kill you both."

Masa smiled. "Now where have I heard that before I wonder?"

Natsu returned the smile then left the room. Masa's hands began to fade into sparkling white dust. "My time is up. I have to go."

"You sure we can do this?" Makarov asked bringing the bottle to his lips. Masa chuckled. "Master, you know our goal don't you." He paused as his body started to fade. "FREEDOM." He breathed before disappearing completely. Makarov sighed. "You didn't answer my question, Masa. But then again you never do."
