Lucy P.O.V

I woke up at the crack of dawn the next morning. I don't know why, but I just couldn't sleep after yesterday. I try to get up, but Natsu was all over me, and I didn't want to wake him up. Using my Blood Magic, I was able to move him with the movement of my hands. I slowly got up, wincing at the pain of my back. My stomach had grown a little, but not too much. But it did feel like I had just eaten a bowling ball. I looked to my right to see the twins sleeping side my side, huddled in a wool blanket. Awww, I thought in my head. I stepped outside, and a warm rush of wind all over my body. I took a deep breathe, and the smell of cherry blossoms filled my nose. The sun barley peaked over the horizon, making the sky the shades of blue, orange, and purple.

It was all......peaceful.

Too peaceful.

I took a single step from the mini stairs outside of the shrine, and I suddenly heard a crack. I turned and gasped. 

Behind me was a man in a black hood, his face not seen.

"Lucy Dragneel." He said.

My heart stopped. "H-How do you know my name?"

I could hear him snicker under his hood. "Because your my target."

"W-Wha?" Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and I was suddenlybeing squeezed. I gasped for air, but my lungs were being squeeed to tight. "P...Plea....se! S...top!" I gasped.

"Now why would I do that?" He asked. He walked up to me and grabed my face. "You sure are a cutie, aren't you? How about we have a little fun before I kill you."

I took my chance and bit his hand with all my might. He yelled with pain, recoiling to the ground. His magic was suddenly eliminated. Using my Water Magic, I controlled the trees through water and made them wrap him around. I squeezed his tightly and asked, "Who are you?" 

He smirked. "The last thing you'll ever see." I could suddenly feel his magic growing emensely, and he broke my trees into several pieces. His cape suddenly flew away with the wind, and I gapsed at the sight of what he looked like.

He had grey eyes, pale skin, and was very muscular. But that wasn't what scared me.

It was the fact that he had wings.

Black feathered wings.

"What the hell are you?" I asked with fear.

He smirked and suddenly came at me, using super speed. He grabbed my neck and began to choke me. I gasped and tried to scream, my he was choking me too hard. I tried to scratch his hands off, even tried biting it again, but it was no use.

I was done for.

"Get the hell away from my wife!" A familiar voice roared.

"Natsu!" I gasped. I could see Natsu running for a punch at the mystery man. The man swung me to the front. "You wouldn't want to hurt your wife, would you?"

Natsu ceased his running, his face filled with fury. "Well, aren't you a good Dragon boy." The man smirked.

"Just shut the hell up and let go of my wife!" Natsu yelled.

"Hmmm. I don't think so." The man's hand suddenly turned into a knife and he pressed it against my kneck. It's cold feeling made me want to scream. "Natsu.." I whimpered, tears falling down my face. "LET HER GO!" Natsu roared, his face turning red.

"But if I do, the Princess will be mad." He pouted.

"The Princess!" I exclaimed. How the hell did she find me? This place isn't even charted on the maps! There's no way she could've found me!

Natsu P.O.V

Seeing a blade against Lucy's neck made me go wild.

I was staring at my wife, who was pregnant, in the arms of a dangerous man with a blade to the neck. The man was smiling like a complete maniac, and Lucy was crying with fear. "So  your here with orders from Princess Anastasia." I sneered.

"That's right. The name's Shadow." He introduced.

"I don't want to know your name. I want you to let my wife go." 

"I'm afraid I can't do that." Shadow winked. He pressed the blade against Lucy's neck, and Lucy sqeaked in fear. Blood began to trickle down her throat. "STOP IT!" I roared.

Shadow began to laugh. "My job is to make sure both your wife and your kids are dead. I think for a bonus, I'll kill you, too."

He waved his hands, and suddenly, I couldn't breathe. My lungs couldn't operate. I choked for air, but nothing entered my lungs. "NATSU!" Lucy screamed.

"AHAHAHAHA! EVERYONE WILL DIE!" Shadow roared.

"No one will die." A familiar voice said. Shadow enetered his attention on the person behind me, which allowed me to breathe again. I gasped for air, taking deep and heavy breathes. I turned to see who it was, and I gasped, not for air, but from shock.

It was Louise.

"Louise! GO back inside!" I yelled.

"We can't do that, Natsu-San." Elliot suddenly appeared from the door.

"Who the hell are these brats?" Shadow asked.

"Please! Run away!" Lucy begged. Elliot and Louise looked at eachother and nodded. They began to hold eachother's hand. The wind began to pick up, and I suddenly felt a large amount of magic from them. "What the-?"

"Universal Magic: Black Hole!" The twins said in unison. Suddenly, a giant black vortex appeared from behhind Shadow and Lucy. It began to suck everything in it's path. 

Including Lucy.

"Lucy!" I yelled.

"Louise, now!"Elliot yelled. 

"Got it!" Louise yelled back. She ran past me dove straight into the black hole. 

Then, black hole closed.

"NO!" I roared. Tears fell down my face.

Then anger.

"What the hell did you do!" I yelled at Elliot.

"Louise is kind of slow at this. Wait for it." Elliot said calmly. I didn't know what he was talking about until a minute later, when a black hole appeared on the ground. Louise came jumping up from it, carrying Lucy. She gently laid Lucy on the ground, who was unconscious and Elliot came rushing by her side. "How's her neck?" He asked.

"It's not that deep, but I think I can do something to it." Louise said. She placed her hand on Lucy's wound and said, "Time Magic: Time Reverse." Suddenly, Lucy's blood began to trickly backwords towards the wound. Then, the wound closed up. Lucy gasped with air, awakening. I crawled to her side. "Thank God! Your alright!" I cried, holding on to her tightly.

"Natsu!" Lucy cried, burying her face into my chest. Lucy looked up and faced the twins, who were giving us a sad smile. "Thank God, your alright." Louise smiled, a tear falling from her face.

"We were worried." Elliot said as well.

Lucy gave them a slight smile. "What happened to Shadow?"

Louise placed her finger on her chin. "He's either suffocating in a black whole and his body burning up, or he's in a different dimension. Which one, Elliot?"

"The first one." He sighed.

"If you don't mind me asking....What are you?" I asked nervously. Louise eyes widened, then looked at Elliot. Elliot shook his head. "We can't tell them now."

"But they just saw us!" Louise pointed out.

"Doesn't mean we should tell them now!" Elliot yelled back.

"Tell us what!" I yelled. Tears began to fall down Louise's face, and she ran back into the shrine. The sound of her wailing was heard from outside. Elliot's face looked ashened. "I'm sorry. We can't tell you yet."

"And why not?" Lucy asked.

"Because....We just can't." Elliot said.

"Then how can we trust you?" I asked.

Elliot's eyes looked hurt. "You just...have to." He ran back into the shrine, leaving his hurt emotions with us. I sighed. I looked down at Lucy, who was crying. "Why are you crying?" I asked.

"Because," She whispered, "I hate seeing them like this."

"I know you do." I sighed. "I hate it too."

Anastasia P.O.V

I know he's dead.

I shouldn've known than to trust that fool.

But luckily, becuase of my "magic," I know where he faced Lucy.

Meaning I know where Lucy is.

"Guards!" I yelled. Two guards of which I didn't know there names came rushing in. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Gather the Royal Army! You are going on a mission!" I ordered.

"A mission?" One of the guards asked.

"What kind?" The other asked.

I smiled. "A kidnap mission."

"And where shall we travel."

I smiled and looked up at the ceiling. On it were the artworks of several artists, paintings of my family tree. All of which were beauty. They all died with honor, which how I want to die.

Not young.

I faced them and and gave them a sinister smile. "To the land of Hinamizawa."
