Natsu's POV:
I get distracted walking past a shop window which is lit up by the lamp placed beside me. I stand looking at my reflection. Something's not right here.
"Hello Natsu. Your time's up. Now it's my turn."
After I heard that everything went black.
Lucy's POV:
I'm scared. I'm genuinely scared. The sun set about an hour ago and no one can find him, Natsu where are you? Just before the sun set an hour ago, the master called me on my lacrima. Apparently something bad was going to happen at night... Oh God. I need to stop thinking about this.
"Hey, Happy, Where can I buy a delicious meal, for a cheap and affordable price?" I ask the furry blue feline, who is currently floating in a trance-like state.
"..." I wait for a reply. "...Aye" He continues to stare ahead, his eyes are still red and puffy from where he's been crying. I frown.
"How about I give you a nice big, delicious fish? Would you like that?" I ask in a hopeful tone. Even in this mood he can't turn down fish... Can he?
He raised his paw to his forehead in a salute. "Aye, sir" His voice lacked the usual enthusiasm, and his slumped posture also showed his mood.
This was going to be one long night...
Makarov's POV:
I keep getting calls left, right and centre. I answer every single one, for the fact it could be someone saying they've found Natsu. But due t this my eyes are beginning to feel heavy.
"I have the whole guild looking. And no one can FIND HIM!" I speak to myself and sigh. It must be my old age finally kicking in. I'm going crazy.
"Makarov..." a raspy voice fills the room. "...Makarov..." The voice continues.
"What? Who's there?" My voice echoes around the room. There's nowhere to hide in here. The only things in my office are my photos, my desk, lacrimas and my mirror.
"Makarov... You should be scared... We have Natsu" The voice says in a threatening way. I recognise that voice! And what did he just say? They have Natsu.
"What do you mean?" No reply "WHERE IS NATSU!" I yell, beginning to get angry. The silence is sickening. If I could just remember that voice...
"...I'm not telling you... Makarov..." What is he on about and why does he keep saying my-
The voice interrupts in a maniacal laughter "...Makarov..." The voice continues. Seriously Why-
Now I know where I recognise that voice. How could I not have realised. For that voice is...
...Mine
Erza's POV:
I can't breathe. Where is he? I've been running in circles, haven't I? I turn around to see Gray running after me. I sit by the fountain I stopped at and sigh loudly. I place my head in my hands.
"It's all my fault..." I say. I know Gray can hear me as I can hear him panting heavily beside me.
"...Don't...say...that..." He says in between breaths.
"Tell me how it isn't." My hands are cold against my face.
"Erza, I've already told you. Besides you can't always be the hero."
"Why?" Why am I hopeless now of all times "Why?" I look up at Gray and I can feel the hot tears fall from my eyes and trickle down my face. I realise I'm smiling. A self-deprecating smile. Why wouldn't I be I've failed...
Gray's POV:
Oh God, She's crying now. Her scarlet hair is sticking to her face as her tears dry, from the wind. Yet she's smiling. I don't know what that's about-
'This is your fault too you know' a voice speaks out of no where.
"What?" I growl an search my surroundings.
"What is it?" Erza look up at me with her big brown orbs.
"Oh nothing, just thought I heard something." She frowned but then put her head back in her hands.
What was that? I'm sure I heard someone... I think it's my sub conscious. In a way I guess I do blame myself for what happened to Natsu. I had noticed something was off with him for the past week. He wasn't really... there. If I had only told someone or confronted him about it.
I sigh and sit next to Erza. If only...
Footsteps could be heard coming from my left so I looked up, so did Erza. Someone was stood in front of us wearing a long green cloak. Erza and I both jumped to our feet and took defensive stances.
"Who are you?" I asked and then "are you behind Natsu's disappearance?" I growl at the figure and they raise their hands.
"It's just me" the figure keeps their hands in the air and Erza gasps...
"Jellal?"
Lucy's POV:
Happy just wasn't cheering up, no matter what I did. He just continued to look... blank. If we don't find Natsu soon Happy is going to completely snap. The moon is casting eerie shadows down the streets and the lampposts aren't helping.
"Natsu..." Happy murmured. I smiled sympathetically at him, not that he would notice. "Natsu..." That poor cat, I bet even Carla wouldn't stand a chance at cheering him up. That's when "NATSU!" Happy yelled and shot off down the street at an incredible speed.
That's when I saw Something slumped against the wall in the shadows of the alley way. Only a hand lay unmoving in the yellow light of the lamppost beside it. As I walked closer I could distinguish a mop of cherry pink hair... That could only belong to one person...
"NATSU!"
Makarov's POV:
I was right I'm losing it. I've even gone as far as having a whole conversation with myself and thinking it was someone else. I laugh nervously when my lacrima lights up with Lucy's face. She's panting heavily.
"We...found...him..." She stopped to catch her breath.
"That's great child, how is he?" My voice is hopeful, I curse myself for letting that slip through my voice.
"He's unresponsive, Master, we found him slumped in an alley... Call Levy and a doctor right away, Happy will be there with him any minute now." Her eyes brimmed with tears as she spoke.
"I will child, don't worry, and hurry back as quickly as you can, OK?" I say in a reassuring tone.
"I will Master, thank you." Her face disappeared from my lacrima and I grabbed it to tell the whole guild to hurry back.
Levy's POV:
Great. That's how my day has been going so far. I really hope Natsu is Ok and I hope we can find him soon so that I can assess him and make sure nothing's wrong.
"Levy?" A vice interrupted my thoughts and I grabbed my lacrima from my bag.
"Yes, Master, What is it?" I spoke to the master's face on my lacrima.
"Lucy and Happy found Natsu." I sigh a deep sigh of relief. "But he was passed out and he is currently unresponsive" His words made the horror flood back into my body. "He will be back here any minute and I want you to assess his condition. I hope to see you in a few minutes." After he spoke his face disappeared from the lacrima.
I stayed still for several moments it was almost as if I was frozen in time. I realised my mouth was gaping so I shut it.
Don't worry Lu-chan,
Happy,
Master,
Everyone,
I'm on my way, and I will save Natsu...
