Natsu's POV

Natsu waltzed into the guild without a care in the world. He was in a oddly cheerful mood compared to the rest of the guild, his attitude was noticed as he jearly placed himself at a table. Oblivious to everyone else's foul mood he kept on smiling and making a fool of himself.

Until someone yelled from the audience.
"Natsu, shut up! Cant you read a situation?!"

Natsu snapped up his head examining the room, trying to see what the voice was saying. It seemed the entire guild was glaring at him, but why? He didn't do anything, he hadn't even picked a fight with Grey yet!

"Natsu! How can you be so happy at a time like this?!" Grey spat at him.

"Wait, what did I miss?"

"Fairy Tail received a letter." Natsu looked up to see Master standing on the second floor railing in a boiling rage.

"Thats great and all, but has anyone seen Lucy?" He smiled again, ignoring gramps remark.

The only thing he received is shocked and utterly horrified faces. Was it something he said?

"L-Luc-cy." Erza stuttered as she held her head in her hands.

"Yeah, she promised me we would go on a mission today." He grinned.

"Natsu-san." A small, quiet voice chimed behind him. Turning he saw Wendy with a solemn expression. "Lucy-san, she is gone."

The entire earth crumbled around Natsu as he heard these words. Lucy was gone, where was she? Did she go on a mission with someone else after she had already promised him? No, Lucy wouldn't do something like that.

"Where is she, what happened?" He shouted to the entire crowd.

"Natsu, calm down and let Master explain!" Erza shouted.

"Since you seem to the last to know, come to my office." Gramps sighed.

Glumly Natsu shuffled up the flight of stair to the second level and into Masters office. This wasn't a typical office one would expect to see in a business building, it was much less big and fancy. It was a small room with a simple desk and a matching chair, a few drawers here and there that held books and magical documents. But other than that the room seemed empty.

"Natsu, listen. In the mail we found a letter with no return address."

"You mean your supposed to put your name on a letter?" Natsu asked, shocked at his new found knowledge.

"Yes, idiot. Now listen closely."

Master read Natsu the printed letter, his voice was clear and sad. As he read Natsu could only get more and more enraged, he put the pieces together and realized it was Lucy. These people had taken Lucy for their pleasure of a game! What kind of game involves the pain of others?!

"Natsu, I know this is a lot to take in. Just relax we will find Lucy in time before-"

"Before what?! What going to happen to her in the time we don't find her? We have to get her back now!" Natsu interrupted.

"Natsu, we will find her!" Master shouted, making him shrink back. But his anger didn't subside, he stomped out of the office and down to the bar. He sat there for a second then slammed his head down on the counter with exhaustion. If it was even possible, Natsu already missed Lucy. In times like this she would always be the one to comfort him and stick with him even when he was a jerk.

"Natsu, you look terrible. How about something to eat?" Mira smiled, trying to lighten his mood.

"Sure..." He sighed.

With a look of concern Mira trotted off to get his food, she already knew he wanted. But Natsu just sat there, his head on the counter, a thick emotion filled the surrounding air. Why was he just sitting there? He should be out looking for her, not laying around waiting for something to happen! All though he felt mentally weak and...lonely. He didnt get lonely very often, because there was always someone there next to him. Weather is was Happy, Grey to fight with, and mostly Lucy. But now he was empty and shallow inside, where had all his bubbly, happy self gone?
