A/N: Sorry for the delay

Please enjoy?

Lucy ran as fast as she could from that building that she was in. The building in which she was tortured in. She had to fight them, fight them, kill them, cut them, and destroy them in order to escape. 

She was confused, scared, angry, so many emotions in a storm raging in Lucy's mind. But the one thing that bothered Lucy the most was a mark on Lucy's right hand. A pink symbol that brought Lucy memories of when those people had tried to kill her...what was her name? Girl with red hair and armor, Lucy couldn't remember. Or why she was angry. Much less the people that were behind her.

She's too confused to think right now. Right now, Lucy just want to get away and actually be safe. To be safe from them...She remembered that she had tried to run away from them countless times...but she had failed many times.

What confused her the most was that Lucy remembered that she was waiting for someone to save her...but who?

Lucy leaned against a tree once she knew she was far enough to rest. She recounted what had just happened. And where had that power come from? It felt so...familiar.

Her body hurts. Her head hurts. Her back hurts. Everything hurts.

She remembers being tortured by them as she had been waiting for someone. Somebody to come for her, someone who never came. Why did this make her fell so betrayed? So angry? Scared? Lucy was almost killed by someone that she once knew, but she couldn't remember on who it was.

War of emotion and confusion was all that consumed Lucy as she leaned against the tree. She finally managed to escape...manage to get freedom from her tortures. But...at the same time, Lucy feels like she's missing something.

"I need to move." Lucy told herself, not wanting to accidently fall asleep in the open where she could undoubtedly be kidnapped or worst.

Lucy kept walking until she came across couple of people walking in the opposite direction. She decided to ask them some directions or where she was exactly.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" Lucy asked as she neared the group of people. There were two girls and three boys. All of them seemingly to be in the same age group...mid-twenties perhaps?

One of the men spoke up, stepping forward at the same time, "We're at the outskirts of Akane Beach, and-" The man paused for a second and pointed to the direction behind him, where he and his friends and just come from, "Magnolia Town is in that direction."

None of this was familiar to Lucy. All she remembered was a huge mansion...was she rich or something? Not wanting to be rude or something, she accepted her answer, "Thank you so much! Enjoy you're walk!" Lucy exclaimed with a forced smile before power walking in the direction of where Magnolia Town was, as she was told.

Lucy figured that this was better than being stuck in a forest. A town was better than a forest, right? She can only hope for the best.

...

"Lucy's scent is this way!" Natsu yelled as he sniffed the air.

Erza, Gray, Happy, Wendy, and Carla hastily followed Natsu through the wood at a really fast pace.

Erza never been so tensed and anxious, but excited to see her blonde girlfriend. Gray and Natsu was possibly scared of Erza who kept bonking them in the head for no reason, but they still wanted to find their blonde girlfriend, so they didn't complain. Wendy felt guilty and was really excited to see Lucy again.

Soon, the came across a group of five young people. Two girls and three boys.

Erza wasted no time to go to them and threatened them with questions.

"Where is she!?" Erza yelled.

"...Huh?" One of the man cowered from Erza.

"Lucy! Where is Lucy!?" Erza yelled.

"I-I don't know who you are talking about!" The man cowered more away from the screaming redhead.

Wendy decided to step forward with a sheepish smile. "U-Um...what she meant is that had you seen a young blonde girl walking past here recently..."

The man was silent before looking at his friends then back at Wendy. "Couple hours ago, there was a blonde girl...around your age I believe...she looked pretty beat up. She asked for some directions...and left before we could ask what happened."

"Where is she going!?" Erza cut in with a yell.

The man gulped loudly from Erza's glare. "Magnolia...I believe."

Not a second later, Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Happy was gone. Leaving Wendy and Carla behind with the group of people.

The man blinked couple of times before turning to Wendy. "Uhhh...what just happened?"

"Those brutes!" Carla complained while sweatdropping.

Wendy chuckled. "We're just looking for our missing friend. Thank you so much for sharing what you know."

"Wendy, we must go!" Carla said as she sprouted some wings and grabbed Wendy and flew toward Magnolia, ignoring the shocked expressions of the group of people.

Soon, Team Natsu was in Town of Magnolia, but no sight of Lucy as of yet.

"We'll split up and cover more ground." Erza spoke up.

"U-Um...Natsu and Gray aren't here anymore." Wendy said, drawing the attention of Erza.

Erza sighed. "I figured. Start your search. Preferably from the sky."

"That might work." Carla said.

"When you find her, you know what to do."

"Of course!" Wendy smiled with determination before Carla picked her up and flew into the sky.

Don't worry, Lucy. I'll find you. That was the only thing in Erza's mind as she ran past the streets in hopes of finding her friend.

Her first destination? Lucy's apartment. Erza was now in front of the said apartment. Nothing was out of place. Nothing changed...but a window was opened.

Erza's heart sped up as she opened the door to Lucy's apartment and searched each room...only to find a disappointed Natsu and Gray looking around.

Erza was immediately angry. These boys...these damned boys gave her hope...thinking that it was actually Lucy in the apartment. She wasted no moment to hit them in the head as hard as she could in rage.

"I said search! Not sit around!" Erza yelled.

"But I thought that if Lucy came back, then Lucy would come here." Natsu protested.

Erza wanted to say something else, but she knew Natsu was right.

"Maybe the guild?" Gray thought.

Erza and Natsu was silent for a moment before running out of the apartment, running straight to the guild, with Gray catching up to them with a scowl.

When they opened the large set of doors, seeing guild members lounging about, talking to each other, looking at maps and such.

Silence was soon heard as couple of minutes passed when they became more aware that Erza and the others were back.

"Did you find her?" Mira was the first to talk.

"We tracked her to be coming back here." Erza answered.

Mira was silent, letting what Erza had said sink in her brain. "Are you saying...that Lucy's in town?"

Erza only nodded, hoping that is was true.

...

She had no idea what she was doing. She was lost, she was confused and she was definitely scared. These streets were so familiar to Lucy. And when she saw the guild...The building that looked so much like the guild that had tried to kill her, she turned and ran.

The guild as she remembered...it was the same...Fairy Tail was it? The guild did try to kill her. She remembers it now. But she doesn't know why they wanted to kill...especially when she was a member herself.

She hated this. She hated this so much. She was scared and confused. Something inside of her tells her that Fairy Tail is her enemy. But something else tells her otherwise.

She then noticed how the sky looked. Lucy didn't have enough time to analyze what it was exactly before something shot straight down from the sky.

The last thing she remembered was being engulfed in a bright light and then everything turn dark.
