I ran through town, frantically toward the guild hall. As I burst through the doors, I started screaming like a madman.

"Help! Somebody, help!"

The first one to notice my frantic approach as a cry for help was Wendy. As she approached me, I met her half way, screaming and spewing nonsense I'm not even sure if I understand.

"Calm down, please Natsu! What's wrong?"

"Lucy's gone!"

Those two words were all I had to say to get everyone's attention. Suddenly, everyone started swarming.

"What do you mean?" Gray asked.

Just then, we heard a thud against the guild doors. Gale, Gajeel and Levy's daughter, ran to the door and threw it open. 

She froze, but only for a minute looking left and right. Then, something caught her attention. By this time, we had all made our way that way. Gale wiped her cheek. She looked at her hand for a minute before another drop of blood hit her hand. Her eyes widened as she slowly stepped outside, turned around, and looked up.

She let out an ear piercing scream. 

The rest of the guild ran outside, eyes widening, girls covering their mouths, screaming, the guys saying they couldn't believe it.

I was afraid to step outside, mostly when Gray and Gajeel looked at me terrified, but also with pitty.

I stepped outside.

I turned around.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

I would have killed to take back what I had seen.

The only thing I could hear in that moment...

Drip, drip, drip...

"Da...ddy...?"
