A/N: WARNING This chapter is entirely in Lucy's perspective, part two of this chapter is all Rissy...and this part has no mention of fudge whatsoever and is a very short chapter
Yeah..sorry about the whole 'taking forever to update' thing and I would blame it on school work however all I have been doing is procrastinating and applying for Uni so yeah...
enjoy...
She mentally cursed herself for placing her keys in such an accessible place for she was certain that whatever that man's name was (she was sure that is was something beginning with 'E') had stolen her keys, making it impossible for her to summon any of her celestial spirits.
Lucy slowly sat up, narrowing her eyes to help her see in the dark room that she was placed in however her attempts where in vain as in every direction she looked there was complete and utter darkness.
She slowly stood up, her legs a little wobbly from sitting on the cold floor for some time and she started to walk towards what she thought was a wall. Placing her hands on the wall she used it to guide herself to the door; only to her misfortune it was locked.
She slammed her hands against the door in anger, mentally cursing the 'E man' that had taken her keys.
She sat down against the door in defeat, deciding that she wasn't leaving the room any time soon and released a loud sigh. Closing her eyes she started to conjure up a plan to escape, however a small sound brought her from her plans.
Whipping her head towards the direction where the sound came from she noticed a large blob of darkness making its way towards her. Before she could even decipher whether the figure was a friend or foe, she swiftly pulled off one of her boots ready to use it for her defence.
Once the figure was in throwing distance she let out a yell before releasing her boot from her grip causing it land on the figure with a loud thud.
"Hey...that actually hurt" the figure moaned as he walked towards Lucy.
Lucy suddenly felt a wave a heat in her face as the figure...or a man in his early twenties hand Lucy the boot that she had previously thrown at him. "You have a good arm..." He said with a smile and even in the dark lighting Lucy saw his grey eyes brighten.
"Lucy..." She said as she offered the man her hand, he instantly took it with another smile.
"Akio...and I already knew who you where I watched the GMG...perhaps you can help find a way out" He added with a smile.
"Sorry..." Lucy sighed "I just got here and the doors locked"
Akio nodded in understanding "Never mind...guess that means you have to spend more time with me" He added with a grin
Lucy giggled "Aw what a shame..."
Lucy noticed the small navy blue guild insignia on Akio's arm, it took the appearance of a large eye and didn't seem to be from one of the larger guilds, however what surprised her was that there was next to no magic energy radiating from him despite the fact that he was a mage.
The first search for Lucy had been uneventful, Rissy and Lavender walked around the town in circles and yet there was still no trace of the celestial mage.
"If you don't mind me asking what guild are you in?" Lucy asked, gesturing to the insignia on his arm.
Akio took a look down at his arm before raising his brows "Oh...Gorgons' Eye" He said as he started walking, leaving Lucy to follow along beside him.
Lucy sweat dropped "You've never heard of it...have you?" Akio asked as depressed anime lines appeared above his head.
Lucy shook her head sadly "No...But is it a new guild?" she asked
Akio nodded "Fairly, we formed just before the last GMG but hopefully we'll qualify for the next one" Akio declared
Lucy smiled "Yeah hopefully..." Lucy said as she turned to face him
"The others will be stoked to find an actual Fairy Tail mage here" Akio exclaimed
Lucy raised a brow "Others...you mean there's more than just us here?"
Akio nodded "Yeah...I just got here a day ago, but there was a whole bunch of people down here from the town" Akio explained, causing Lucy's eyes to widen.
Akio walked over to the centre of the room and Lucy watched him with curiosity "Hey guys there's a Fairy Tail mage here...come out!" Akio shouted
The room was silent save for Akio's echoing for a few moments before the faint sound of footsteps could be heard. Lucy's eyes widened as people stepped out from the shadows, her expression sadness once she noticed that one of the boys looked no older than Wendy stared at her with wide eyes.
The small crowd was now up to nine people as they gathered around both Lucy and Akio.
"You really from Fairy Tail?" one of the boys asked, his eyes narrowed at the celestial mage.
Lucy nodded before showing them her insignia, however she frowned once she realised that no one would be able to actually see it.
"Yes she is..." Akio stated as he ruffled the boy's hair, causing him to frown.
"How long have you all been down here?" Lucy asked
One of the older girls, around Wendy and Chelia's age started to mutter to herself whilst counting on her fingers "Not sure...maybe a couple of days?" She answered
Lucy gasped "So no one has thought to look for any of you?!" She exclaimed, very confused about the situation.
The children shook their heads "They forgot about us" One of the older boys stated matter of factly, causing all the other children to nod in agreement.
"How can all your parents forget about you?" Lucy asked confused
Akio placed a hand on Lucy's shoulder "Lucy, it's the water..."
Lucy frowned "W...what?"
The children sighed "The water...Akio said that when he came into the town that the water had magic in it" one of the boys stated
Akio nodded "it's true, once I entered the town there was a large fountain that radiated a large amount of magic energy...I just brushed it off...but I was wrong" Akio explained
"Are you saying that someone put a spell on the town's water supply?" Lucy asked
Akio shrugged his shoulders "Most likely, which explains why the townspeople are acting like everything is normal"
Lucy sighed "Then that means that we're trapped down...wherever this is" She groaned before taking a seat on the cold ground.
"Actually we're now in the basement of Lavender Town's museum..." The girl around Wendy's age pointed out.
Before Lucy could answer a large amount of light appeared in front of her and turning around she noticed that the door that had previously been locked was now open, revealing the cyan haired man who had previously taken her celestial keys and a curvaceous woman behind him with a similar appearance.
The cyan haired man raised his hands and magic circle, the same colour as his hair appeared and instantly Lucy felt all the magic energy leave her body as she struggled to not fall to the ground.
Struggling to even turn she noticed that all the children were on the ground in pain and even Akio was struggling to stand.
'So that's why I sensed no magic energy from them...they've been taking it' Lucy concluded once she had summed up the energy to sit upright
"You..." The cyan haired woman hissed as she walked towards her.
Lucy gulped and the children behind her all took a step back "Me..." she said
"Yes you..." She snarled as she knelt in front of Lucy, only a few inches away from her, causing Lucy to slowly shuffle backwards "That little pink haired bitch is going to ruin our plans...you are more trouble than you're worth" She spat
The cyan haired man placed a hand on the woman in front of him "Esther...you did say that you wanted to fight her" He pointed out
Esther sighed and Lucy spotted the teal coloured lacrima that she was holding and spotted a small image of Rissy and Lavender walking through the town.
"Perhaps we should slow her down..." The cyan haired man suggested, causing Esther to grin.
The cyan haired man scanned the group of children before his eyes landed on Akio "You...my friend have a very interesting magic" He stated, causing Akio to growl.
Akio slowly lifted his head "Go to he-"
However he was cut off by the sound of his own screams as a magic circle once again appeared and a navy blue light came from Akio's body before getting absorbed by the magic circle turning it navy blue.
Tears sprung to Lucy's eyes at the sight of Akio's motionless body and the sound of Esther's laughter caused her fists to clench in anger.
"Emmanuel, go after her" Esther said before standing up, Lucy swore she heard her mutter the word 'pathetic' before the sound of her heels clicking against the stone floor as she walked out.
And the door was slammed shut; and Lucy was left in complete darkness.
What did you think of that?
