Natsu's POV

Erza, Gray and I got back to Magnolia about 30 minutes ago and Lucy is still not here yet. We start walking back thinking maybe she went back to the guild before us, but that isn't like her to just leave even though she told us to wait.
To be honest, she hasn't really been the same Lucy since she came back. She's just more.......distant.

"Natsu we're back." Erza said.

"Ok let's go in." I said as I started walking towards the guild door. But as Erza is opening it she stops for a minute.

"Erza whats wrong? Open the door." Gray pushed past Erza and started to open the door but before he could even touch the handle Erza stopped him.

"Wait. How are we going to tell Mira and Elfman that their sister, who just came back not too long ago, disappeared again? They're going to be devastated. Don't you remember how they reacted when they thought she died last time?" I was shocked at Erza's words. She's right. I've just been thinking of Lucy only and I've completely forgot that Lisanna has been kidnapped.

Gray scratched his head and let out a frustrated sigh. "Even so, we cant lie to them. They have the right to know their sister was taken, and who knows, maybe they can even help find her." I knew Erza could see he was right.

Zeref's Castle

Lucy's POV

The once light  and sweet kiss had turned into a full blown make-out session and before I knew it my attention had been completely focused on Zeref and our kiss. I felt Zeref start pushing me backwards so I started stepping back and before I knew what happened I hit a wall.

I love Zeref. He saved me and helped me so much during the past year. I want to stay with him for the rest of my never-ending life, but to be honest, in my head I know this isn't the time for any of this to be happening.

I raise my hands to his chest and push him back a bit, just far enough from me so we could talk.

"Lucy, what's wrong? Are you ok princess?" He walks up to me and hugs me again.

I turn my head up and look at him in seriously in the eyes. "I'm sorry Zeref, I really want to continue this but-"

"-But your revenge comes first." He finishes my sentence. I look back down, feeling bad, but nod quietly. I hear him let out a big sigh as he talks again. "Ok I get it. You don't want to do anything else until we get your revenge." I stay quiet not denying any of it.

"But-" He swiftly pushes me back onto the wall with one hand on the side of my face and the other lifting my chin up before he dives in for a quick peck on my lips. "Does that mean once your revenge is over you will have no more excuses?" He smirks as his hand stays on my chin forcing me to face him.

I blush madly and try to avoid looking in his eyes. "No I won't." His smirk turns into a smile as he is satisfied with my answer.

"Well then let's hurry up and get your revenge over with." He says before let's go of me.

"Lets..." I say as I teleport to Magnolia.

Back at the Guild Hall

3rd Persons POV

Lucy steps into the guild hall and notice that the other teams are back from getting their assigned items.
She waves at the other groups but they all just respond to her with a depressed face but Natsu, Gray and Erza were too busy  to respond because they were trying to comfort a crying Mira after they told her about the disappearance of her beloved sister.

Lucy could only guess why Mira was crying. She didn't care about what happened Lisanna but figured it was only right to apologise because it would earn their trust even more.

Lucy saw and walked up to them at the bar area. "Mira." Mira looks towards Lucy and so do the other 3. As soon as they did Lucy bowed apologetically. "Mira I'm so sorry about Lisanna, it's all my fault, if only I wasn't so weak then I could've protected her better. Instead I was weak and I let one of my precious friends get taken.
Mira I sincerely apologise and I promise I'll get her back. I caused this to happen so I'm gonna fix it."

"Thank you for helping Lucy." Mira stands up from sitting and walks over to Lucy, grabbing her hands. "Lucy, trust me you're not weak. You're one of the strongest and kindest wizards I know. Don't ever call yourself weak again." Mira pulls Lucy in for a hug.

Though Lucy didn't want to admit it, what Mira said really touched her a bit. But a little thing like this will never make Lucy forgive what they did to her one year ago so Lucy just ignored what Mira said.

"Everyone!!" Mira and Lucy let go of one another and look towards the guild door to see Levy running into the guild in a panic. "Everyone. There's something wrong about the memory spell. I went and tried to do more research and tried to look for more memory spells if ever the spell we have right now didn't work. But instead I found out that there is no such thing as a memory spell.
Memories isn't a physical object and so it can't just appear back with a spell. In other words, this spell is fake, and it's nothing more than rearranged words making it look like a memory spell. Now I definitely know that someone put this in our guild library knowing we would need a memory spell and find this book."

Everyone in Fairy Tail were shocked by the sudden information Levy found out. Well everyone except for one. But at the same time we can't say Lucy wasn't shocked, she was just surprised at something else.

Lucy didn't expect any of them to find out the truth about memory spells this early and Lucy realised them finding out now would ruin the entire plan of revenge. She had to go back to Zeref and talk about how to fix this problem.

Luckily, thanks to Levy's announcement, a riot within the guild occurred and Lucy used this opportunity to teleport back to Zeref unnoticed.

Lucy's POV

I storm around the castle room to room looking for Zeref. 'Where is he?! For once it's an extremely important problem and he decides to disappear NOW?!' I stop moving when I hear a voice that I knew belonged to Zeref.

"Are you sure you really want to continue with this plan?" I look around where I was looking for where the source of the voice came from. And I realised it came from the lab with the pod was. I walk to the door and, to my luck, it was just opened enough for me to peek through. Although, I was only able to see Zeref from where they were standing.

"Of course I do. I was the one who made the very first move causing all this to happen. So why not finish it."

As an unfamiliar voice shows up I try to open the door a tiny bit more for me to see who Zeref was talking to. Although, the old wooden door makes a creaking noise causing both of them to focus their attention to the door.

I hid on the wall next to me to stay in the shadows, keeping quiet like my life depended on it.

"Hmm.... Zeref is your little girlfriend back from that stupid guild?" I hear the mysterious voice ask as if he was mocking me.

"No, she isn't. She's doing her job like we planned."

"She better be. I mean it would be tragic for her to find out the truth about everything."

"Yes it would. That's why I hope she will never have to discover anything more." Truth? What truth? Is Zeref lying to me about something? What's going on?
