**************************************************************************************************************************

We left the inn the next morning and continued our journey to Tenzanamu. I still couldn't forget what I did to Lucy last night. I could still feel my hands fondling her breasts, making my face burn up. As we walked on the road, I see something strange about Lucy. Her blue florescent hood was over her head, and it looked like she was staring at something.

Or someone.

I walked closer to Lucy and asked, "Are you alright?" She was silent for a minute, not saying anything to me. "Hello? Lucy?"

"Huh? Oh! What did you say?" She asked, kind of dazed out.

"Oi, are you alright?" I asked once more.

"Yeah...I'm alright," She whispered. She still looked a little uneasy, kind of swaying back and forth. "Is  there something on your mind, Luce?"

"...No, not really." I didn't believe her. But for now, I'd let it slide. We continued in silence. Finally, we see a sign that says, "WELCOME TO TENZANAMU!" I sighed with relief. "We're finally here."

"FINALLY!" Artemis exclaimed. "I'm starving!"

"I know somewhere we can eat," Lucy told us. As we walked to the around town, I noticed how....unique it was. It reminded  me of a town that belonged to a ceramic doll; each building so white and glossy. The citizens were dressed in beautiful gowns and suits. It made me feel uncomfortable wearing just black shorts, a vest, and a cape. "You guys seriously went here?" I whispered to Lucy.

"I lived a similar lifestyle, remember?" Lucy chuckled softly. I smiled, forgetting that she practically lived a Victorian lifestyle for the first seventeen years of her life. We stopped at a cafe and rested. We sat in little white chairs that looked like they were meant for dolls and waited for our waitress. I could take a glance of people giving us strange looks. "I'm not to comfortable here," I whispered to Lucy.

"It's probably because of me," she whispered back.

"You?" 

"Well, who else? I'm the daughter of the Heartfilia Trade Company, once so respected now in the dark, and part of a kidnapping crime unsolved. It's like I'm a...burden," She whispered, her voice falling low. I could see her face filled with dismay, which brought negativity. I gently placed my hand on hers and told her, "You're not a burden, Lucy."

"But others do, Natsu....Others do..." Now I know she wasn't telling me something. I was about to say something until we were interrupted by the waitress. "Would you customers like some sweets?"

"Sweets? You mean like cookies and candy?" Lisanna laughed.

"No, dumb-ass," Lucy hissed, her emotion a little venomous than usual. She shook her head and ordered. "Can I have a chocolate mille crepe with some honey tea please."

"I'll have......oh, a bettenberg cake with hot chocolate!" Artemis exclaimed. I didn't know what on earth they were talking about, and the waitress looked impatient. "I'll...just have what she's having," I ordered, pointing to Lucy.

"I'll have.....ugh, just give me a cookie with some coffee." Lisanna groaned. After the waitress left, we just sat there in silence. Lucy was staring at Lisanna, her eyes looking like it literally fueled with anger. Lisanna was just fondling with her cell phone, probably texting someone from the guide. "Liora?" Someone suddenly called out. We all looked over to see a tall, cream colored man with spiky blond hair. Unlike the rest of the citizens, he just wore skinny jeans and a blue buttoned shirt. "No...your Lucy, right?"

"L...Lucas?" Lucy asked. Lucas smiled and suddenly gave Lucy a giant bear hug. My anger suddenly went from level 0 to level infinity. Lucy laughed nervously. "It's been like what, seven years, right!"

"Seven years too long!" Lucas laughed. Annoyed, I cleared my voice voice loud enough for Lucy to hear. Lucas notices me to, his face turning serious. "And who might you be?" Lucy pushed Lucas away and walked back to me. "Lucas, this is Natsu, my-"

"I'm her boyfriend." I finished for her. She looked up, her face showing a hint of pink. I could hear Lucas chuckle. "Didn't even know you were up for sale, Heartfila. Maybe I should've 'handled the price' a long time ago."

"I wouldn't talk to her like that in front of me if I were you," I growled.

"Or what?" Lucas asked, practically threatening me. I was about to go all dragon on him when Lucy grabbed my hand and pulled me back. "This is not the time to fight!" She cried. She walked up to Lucas and asked, "When was the last time you saw Liora?"

"Why should I tell you?" He laughed. Suddenly, she pulls out her staff and jabs it on his neck. He begins to shake with fear. "I'm not the passive girl you knew years ago. You don't want to see what I've become now."

Lucas gulped. "Last time I saw her was at your birthday party, just like everyone else! I swear!" Lucy stared at him for a while, then released him from her scepter. He fell to the ground, scared out of his mind. "I never liked you, Lucas."

"How can you not like him?" Lisanna asked.

"You wouldn't understand," Lucy mumbled.

"Probably not. Your family does sound a little freaky. I mean, isn't it your fault also that she's gone? You did kind of forget about her, and when you finally remembered her, you leave her for another five years. Some sister you are."

Lucy snapped. She then jumped on Lisanna, punching her in the face. Lisanna screamed out of pain. I quickly pulled Lucy off of Lisanna. "What the hell is was that!" I yelled. She was breathing heavily, looking back from her to me. Suddenly, she ran off, sprinting the fastest I've ever seen her run. "Hey! Lucy!"

"What the hell is wrong with her!" Lisanna shrieked. But instead of checking on her, I chased after Lucy.After running for almost three minutes, I finally caught up to her by a small creek. I grabbed her arm and yelled, "What the hell happened back there!"

"It's...none..of your concern," She whispered.

"None of my concern! You just attacked Lisanna out of nowhere!" I yelled.

"IT"S STILL NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!" Lucy screamed.

"...Are you hiding something from me?" I asked.

W-What?" She asked. I had to know the truth  now. Something about Lucy wasn't right to me. She didn't feel like....Lucy. I sighed. "I'm going to ask again, Lucy. Are you hiding something?" I began to see tears stream down her face. She was about to open her mouth, when her eyes were no longer looking at mine. "Natsu!" She suddenly screams.

But before I could react, I was hit by a blunt object, and the world turned black.

When I woke up, I found myself in a daze. The world kept on spinning and spinning, and I was getting dizzy. "Natsu? Natsu!" I heard Lucy cry out. I open my eyes to see Lucy next to me, her body tied up to some kind of stone. Tears were streaming down her face, and her eyes were filled with fear. "What...what happened?"

"Someone attacked us! They put amulets around our necks to conceal our magic!" Lucy cried. Then, I began to realize what she was talking about. We were no longer in Tenzanamu. We were in a cavern, tied up on stalagmites. I could see Lucy's scepter deep below a pool of water. I attempted to break free, but were tied up with some kind of metal. "Natsu...I'm scared."

"Don't worry, I'm gonna get us out of here," I assured her.

"I doubt that, actually," a voice suddenly echoed. 

"Who's out there!" I yelled. Suddenly, there was a tune playing. A tune from some sort of pipe. I followed the noise to the ceiling, where I saw a man just standing there, defying gravity.

"My oh my, Lucy. Your boyfriend can sure sleep a lot," the man whistled. He played on what looked like his flute once again, and he began to descend from above. I examined him thoroughly. He was a girlish man with brown tights under his green shorts and a puffy white shirt. His hair was shaggy and brown. "So, wonder boy," the guy sang, "how does it feel to be tied up?"

"Just you wait until you get your sorry ass kicked!" I roared, trying to break loose of my prison.

"Ah ah ah! I wouldn't do that if I were you," He sang maliciously.

"And why not?" I asked. He smiled maliciously, and began to play a tune. An eerie tune. Out of no where, a swarm of spiders crawled out of rocks and onto Lucy. I didn't know what was happening, since Lucy wasn't afraid of spiders.

But that was before she began to scream.

"NO! NO! NO! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!" She screamed with fear. Tears were falling down her face, and slowly mine as well. Sure, I've seen her scared, just not this scared. "Stop it!" I roared. "I'll do anything, just stop tormenting her!"

"Perfect choice," he sang. He played a tune in reverse , and the spiders disappeared from Lucy's body. She was shaking with fear, as if she was about loose her mental state. "Lucy, are you alright?"

"Spiders....spiders......spiders..." Lucy muttered.

"Sounds familiar, doesn't it Lucy?" He sang.

"Just who think you are!" I yelled.

"Ah, how rude! The name's Pan!" He continued to sing. He plays his flute again, and suddenly begins to float towards Lucy. "Do I look familiar, Lucy-chan?"

"What the hell are you talking about!" I yelled, still trying to break free. I look at Lucy, who looked dazed into his eyes. "No...this can't be...why do you look like her?"

"Lucy, calm down," I told her. "Who does he look like."

"Oh, you wouldn't know," he told me. "only she has seen her true form."

"A....A...A" Lucy muttered.

"Yes, say her name. Say the name of my sister; the one you killed many years ago!" He laughed maliciously.

"A...Arachnolia!" Lucy screamed. She continued to scream, her shrill voice shaking the cave. Arachnolia? Why did that name sound so familiar. Then, it hit me.

Aditi.

Yue Village.

Oh my God, I began to remember. Lucy told us about killing her when me and Lisanna were.....preoccupied. 

But I never knew she had a brother!

"My sister didn't mean to do anything wrong. No, not at all! She was just doing as she was told, just like all little sisters!" Pan screamed, punching Lucy in the gut. She cried out in pain, making me more and more angry. He grabbed Lucy's chin and tilted it upwords. "Should I give your sister the same fate as mine?"

Lucy's eyes went wide. "Where is Liora!"

"Ho, ho, ho! Blondy is feisty. I like that," He snickered, licking his lips. "Maybe I should just keep you to myself. You know, to fool around," He began to stoke Lucy's neck, making her shiver. At that moment, Lucy spit in his face, which made him angry. "Who the hell said you could do that!" He began to punch Lucy, making her scream with pain. 

And what was worse. She was screaming my name.

Pleading for my help.

"Just tell us what the hell you want!" I screamed, not being able to take  more of this. Pan floated to me, examining my face. "I'll tell you what I want: I want the girl. I want your blood in my hands.  I want to avenge my sister."

"Well too bad, because that ain't gonna happen!" I yelled.

"Actually, it will. While I take this young beauty to out location, you'll be drowning as I release all the water from within these rocks. And believe me, there's a lot of water," he winked. He floated to Lucy and began to untie her. "Natsu....help..." She whispered.

No.

I'm not disappointing her again.

"LET......HER....GO!!!!!!" I screamed. At that moment, I felt immense power surging through inside me. My body was glowing a red light, which began to burn through the metal rod.  When it broke, gravity didn't take it's course. I was floating in the air. I felt something on my back. Something abnormal. I touched my back and gasped.

I had wings.

"So, the little boy got some new toys," Pan sang. 

"Na..tsu?" Lucy whispered. I didn't know what was happening or what the whole situation was, in fact. But I had one top  priority on my mind.

Saving my girl.

"Let her go, pretty boy," I growled.

"You wanna fight, rebel," He laughed. He whipped out his wooden flute in a split second, givingme a malice smile. "I'll give you a fight."
