"What the hell did you do to my friends!?" - Mai

Situation : This takes place in a alternative universe, where few teenagers, adults along with children have special abilities. Teams have been formed, but of course there is always a villain and that is the masked group who kill or take the abilities of others. Natsu and Lucy have joined a group called Fairy Tail after Lucy's father dies and their former team goes separate ways. Natsu's ability is the fire element, while Lucy can see and hear spirits of the celestial world, when someone is close to death she screams. During this one-shot, Natsu has gone missing after his team is attacked while scouting the area. So Lucy and Mai ( OC ) go looking for clues on where he could be.

Missing

      Lucy walked beside Mai, her hand clutched the key tightly. They were trying to locate Natsu, he had been missing for 1 day already when he was on a mission with Lisanna and Happy. They had found Lisanna tied to a tree beaten to the pulp, happy was barely breathing when they found him a mile away from where Lisanna had been found. At the moment the two were in critical condition, Lucy couldn't ignore the whispers around her. Being a Banshee wasn't the greatest thing when her friend was missing.

She was losing her mind without him. Mai had offered to help her look for Natsu and the two went out to where they had found Lisanna and Happy, perhaps there were clues to help them on their search. She then noticed a river up ahead, a branch over it as if it were covering something.

"That's strange, no one said there was a river over here." Mai commented. Lucy heard the whispering grow louder and she shook her head trying to ignore them. "You ok Lucy?" The brown haired girl asked her friend.

"Yeah I'm fine, Let's go back the river is growing higher and it's going to take that makeshift bridge with it." Lucy answered turning around to head back. Mai nodded and started to walk back to their camp.

The blonde haired girl stopped abruptly, paused in her tracks. It was as if an invisible barrier refused to let turn back, it was like something was preventing her from turning away from the river and the bridge. A wind blew across the forest and caused Lucy's hair to blow on her face. Her gaze drifted towards the direction the wind blew in, it was towards the river.

Her eyebrows drew together and her lips parted, a light buzz purred against her ears. Lucy's vision grew blurry and everything was spinning. Her heart pounded rapidly against her chest and she stumbled backwards. Mai turned around noticing her friend's strange behavior.

"Lucy are you ok?" She asked, worry was laced in her tone. Her blood ran cold and her fingers twitched, she knew this feeling all to well. It had come to her on many occasions, when Igneel, the master and her father had died. Though this one seemed more disturbing than the others.

A lonesome tear fell down her cheek slowly. The emotions that Lucy had bottled up for the time Natsu had been missing were now being released. She was scared and didn't know why, the screams were threatened to let lose.

"I care about you Luce and if you were to ever get hurt, I would go out of my freaking mind."

"I promise I will never leave you." With that the pink haired boy grasped her hands and looked into her brown orbs. "Ok Luce, I'll come back don't worry." The girl nodded quietly not trusting her voice to answer back.

The sound of the wind bringing in the clouds caused the girl to fall on her knees, Mai quickly ran over to the girl. She had no idea what to do in this situation, usually Natsu always knew what to do in situations like these.

"Do you love him?" Erza asked the blonde haired girl as she broke down after hearing what had happened. Lucy had looked up at her and looked down once again." When he looks at you all I see is pure admiration and love." Lucy felt her heart shatter and the tears threatened to come out. She truly knew how her dad felt when her mother had died.

Lucy pulled herself to her feet and stumbled down the path to the river, forcing herself to sprint towards it.  Her brown eyes drifted to the tree branch, the blonde haired girl gulped and walked across gently. She then noticed a blood trail, her heart pounded more loudly and behind her she heard Mai gasp from shock. She slowly followed the trail and she then saw something that made her sick from her stomach. Tied down covered in blood was none other than Natsu Dragneel.

A scream passed her lips, the sound was louder than the wind blowing and echoed across the forest. It was the loudest she had screamed and she screamed until she no longer had any breath left.

   Damon was looking at a map trying to pinpoint a direction his friend could be in, Gray was beside him trying to look over the map as well. That was until they heard a loud scream from the forest, Damon immediately knew who it was and jumped up from his chair running towards the forest.

   Mai felt a lump form in her throat as she saw her friend kneel down beside Natsu and then she heard a sound coming from her left side. She quickly dodged a bullet, she looked up to see a masked figure covered in a red cloak. Beside them stood two others, one was dressed in black while the other was clothed in a white cloak covered in blood.

"We were waiting child, the scream of the wailing women, how intriguing." Mai quickly stood in front of Lucy and held her hands out. Her blue eyes looked at the one in the white, her eyes narrowed and her heart jumped in anger.

"What the hell did you do to my friends?" She asked angrily. They simply laughed and the one clothed in red pulled down their hood revealing white curly hair sticking up from the mask. It was a women, Mai could tell automatically.

"We had no need for him, nor did we for the other two." She answered coldly. The one dressed in the blue cloak chuckled pulling down their hood and mask revealing a boy with striking red eyes and white hair.

"I must admit the pink haired one put up a fight." With that Mai snapped her hand open revealing a red flame, the boy smirked and raised his hand. Water drifted from the river and surrounded Mai, swallowing her whole. Mai struggled inside, her eyes shut tightly.

"Mai!" Lucy screamed standing up, the one clothed in black stood in front of her raising his hand. Lucy froze, her heart feeling cold.

"Make one move and I'll kill you." He told the blonde haired girl. Lucy balled her fists feeling pathetic and weak. Mai's eyes snapped open and she screamed, ignoring the water filling her lungs. The water bubble broke and the red flames absorbed the droplets that came from it causing it to turn into blue flames that surrounded Mai.

"Mai! Lucy!" Damon ran towards them and he quickly noticed the three strangers, seeing Natsu the boy quickly grew enraged. His eyes snapped towards the black hooded figure in front of Lucy. He raised his hand and the figure fell to the floor, crimpling in pain.

"What fun, a banshee, a fire element and a blood element." The boy clothed in the blue cloak mused, the women beside him chuckled lightly. "Don't you think this is a interesting team sister?" He asked the women beside him.

"Indeed it is brother." With that the two disappeared leaving the dead one alone. Mai quickly fell to her knees tired from using her energy. Damon was about to run over but she shook her head pointing at Natsu. Damon ran over to the pink haired boy and Lucy who was trying to stop his bleeding. Damon settled his hand on Natsu side, where the bleeding was happening.

"He should've been dead by now." Damon whispered. "He's a fighter though, so he should be ok." He told Lucy who was gripping his hand tightly. Mai slowly walked over and set her hand on Damon's shoulder. Damon glanced at her and she smiled softly.

"Luce?" The three friends looked down to see Natsu slowly opening his eyes. Lucy smiled through her tears and hugged him gently. "You didn't think I would die that quickly did ya?"

"I love you Natsu." Lucy spoke up still hugging him, the pink haired boy's eyes widened. Damon and Mai simply watched the two.

"I love you too Luce." He answered back.

"Ha you owe me 20 dollars Damon!" The four teenagers turned to see Gray and Juvia coming from the forest.
