(Natsu's P.O.V.)

Two days. Two days Lucy's been asleep. We so far haven't found any clues to where she is. Even with the help of Aria's grand library, it doesn't explain anything about the causes and after effect of the Light Goddess's magic. Two days Lucy's spirit has been wandering wherever she is and has the possibility of never finding her physical form which concludes of never waking up. So far this mission hasn't been going quite well...

The only time I left Lucy's side was when we went to the library, other than that Teral and I have been sitting in her bedroom watching over her. There were moments when she would hold in her breath which scared mostly me and Teral out before she would let out a light gasp.
It must be hard for Teral. I don't know him that much, but what Lucy said about them having an invisible bond holding them like a rope, I can see that it's true.

Adroath and Wendy visited awhile ago checking up on her pulses and other medical stuff that doesn't make any sense. So far everything seems alright, but this is her physical body...what about her spirit?

"I thought the same thing Natsu... That's the one thing that's truly terrifying..." Teral began speaking as if I said it out loud for him to hear. "There's the chance that she's already lost and to never be found..." Teral glanced away from Lucy's peaceful face. It really looks like she's just sleeping. "We need to have hope Teral. Lucy is one of Fairy Tail's strongest wizards. Whatever she faces I know she'll be strong enough to endure it." I smiled at the little guy to cheer him up, but he just shook his head.

"That's not what she thinks...Lucy-nee thinks that she's a burden to Fairy Tail and Team Natsu. She also thinks she isn't a powerful wizard combined to the rest of you. In fact she's actually a little jealous seeing powerful mages not needing to be rescued all the time. Lucy-nee thinks a lot about that stuff..."
My head shot from looking back to Lucy then back to Teral. "Lucy doesn't think she's strong?" Teral nodded his head while looking down at the bed. My stomach turned upside-down from hearing this.

'Why would you think like that Lucy? You're one of the most-"

I was interrupted by a agonizing scream in the bedroom. It was Lucy shaking her head with tears in her eyes. "LUCY" I jumped off my chair to stop Lucy from hurting herself. She was swinging her arms around with her legs kicking the bed. "I'LL GO GET HELP NATSU!" Teral grew his wings and flew out of the balcony. "HURRY TERAL!" Lucy was wailing with pain in her voice while red liquid appeared around her body.

It was her blood.

"Lucy! Lucy I'm here! Where are you Lucy!" I tore my vest and started to wrap the scratches and bruises that were forming on her body, but what I was worried about was her stomach spilling blood on her.

"PLEASE!!! HELP ME!!! NATSU~!!!"

Her cries for help was breaking me inside out. I was terrified seeing her being inflicted with this pain that I can't stop. "I'm here Lucy! Where are you!" Her screaming and sobbing didn't stop even with my bandages. Where the hell is Wendy?

"MAKE IT STOP! MAKE 'HER' STOP!!"

'THERE'S SOMEONE WITH HER!?' It makes much more sense now! Lucy is being tortured right before my eyes! Lucy was still frantically moving making her blood fly all over the room. I couldn't stop my tears falling from seeing my nakama in great suffering. The only thing I could do was hold her while she fights 'her'.

The door shot open with a winded Wendy with Teral dropping Adroath gently on he floor. Both of them rushed over to heal Lucy. "Natsu!.. W-what happened?!" Wendy asked while healing the many injuries on her comrade. Adroath put his palm on her forehead and a glimmer of light was shine from his hand. "I-I don't...know."

Lucy's mourn for help gradually became softer and softer to where she was back in her peaceful state. Only to have her blood cover her body and bed with the injuries still appearing. Adroath put his hand on Lucy's stomach. "Enough with this! You've abused her enough!" A flash of light exploded in the room making all of us go blind.

There was a ringing sound when I opened my eyes. I was out only for a moment to see Wendy and Teral on the ground as well, but Adroath was kneeling and was holding himself up from the bed. It took all of my power to pick my body up. The sound was disappearing starting to hear Lucy gasping for air and Adroath coughing. "Wh-what did you do?" Before he could answer, the door shot open again with the rest of my nakamas witnessing a not so pretty sight.

"WENDY!" Carla flew to her little master to inspect if she was injured. "You foolish child. I was going to fly you here..." Erza and Gray went over to help Adroath stand. "Are you alright sir?" Erza questioned to the old man. "I'm fine... I just wasn't ready to perform the spell I used, but I stopped the torment she was in." Happy hover over me to see if I needed help. "Nat-zu...are you okay?" I sighed with weariness but nodded to show I'm fine.

Erza and Gray noticed Lucy. "How did this... What... Who did this?" Gray was shock to find the right sentence making three into one. "Did someone do this to her? Did you see the person Natsu, Teral?" I was about to speak until Adroath spoke. "No Erza, Gray. This was someone who is with her spiritually, trying to collapse her spirit ." Carla helped Wendy up. "But Adroath...who would do such a thing?" Wendy wobbled for a moment before she resumed healing Lucy again. "Don't push yourself child..." Wendy remained quiet to continue her treatment. "I saw a glimpse of what the poor girl has gone through."

Heads shot over to Adroath who spoke. "Lucy...is in pain. The aftermath of the torture was her on the ground howling in pain begging to be released." Adroath's pupils were tinier than dots showing nothing but fear in them. "Released? What are you saying Adroath?" Erza mumbled with alarm for her friend. "She's trap. Lucy is being caged by the person controlling the area. It was created to make sure Lucy never escapes..."

I noticed that Teral was studying the floor with his head down. "Teral..." Teral looked back up with watery eyes. "Do you know where Lucy is?" I walked over hoping he would answer my question. Teral slowly nodded. "Teral...where is she?" Teral sniffed and came over to whisper in my ear. "What's the one place that she was trying to avoid. That she was too scared to even talk about?" I thought about his question for a moment.

Then it hit me.

I turned back to Teral to see if I'm right. "Do you think she's there?" Gray stomped over to us. "OI! Flame Breath not only you should talk to him! We want to help as well!" Wendy nodded in agreement with Erza as well. I stood up to meet their faces. "We think we know where she is..."

"Well where is she!" Gray yelled with impatience. Teral silently cried while hugging my leg. "She's in her nightmare...In another Realm..."
