"Aww why~?!" Natsu, and Happy whined.

"I'm sorry guys." She told rubbing the top of the blue exceeds head apologetically. The two friends pouted with unhappiness still curious as to why the blonde refused to go on a mission with them. She'd done it a few times now. Lucy sighed as, once again, she left Fairy Tail. A while ago Levy had asked Lucy if she was feeling well, and now Lucy felt as if everyone around her began to notice. No one saw through her before, and now that it was beginning to she felt spooked. She held her arms as if she felt cold, and exited Fairy Tail silently. Everyone giving her questioning looks. It was hot outside, not to mention Lucy would come, and leave in a jiffy.

Long time had past since that day Lucy walked out. Long days, so many long days. Lucy had kept a distance from Fairy Tail, and put a wall between her dearest guild, and herself, just to keep them from worrying. She sat in her bed, cross legged, hacking violently as she held her ankles. She bent forward hoping for it to stop, grasping her ankles tensely. Nausea seeped into her chest rising up her throat. She gulped it down before coughing harshly again. She then felt extreme pain on her temple, and felt dizzy. She stood holding her chest with one hand, and her temple with the other hoping to get to the kitchen to get medicine only to find herself meeting the floor.

"Where the hell is she..." Erza muttered with her hands on her hips. Cana chugged another barrel of beer as Juvia sat silently next to her, worrisome.

"Maybe she went on a job...?" Gray said with uncertainty, hoping maybe that was the conclusion.

"She never told me she was going on a job." Mira commented as Wendy held Carla with fear. The whole guild stood in thought, what had happened to Lucy?

"Do you think Lushe... Got into any trouble?" Asked Happy with sad features covering his cute face. Where the blonde celestial wizard had been for the three days she hadn't returned? Max rubbed the back of his neck, Evergreen covering her mouth, and Romeo tapping his foot in distress.

"Have we even searched for her yet?" Warren questioned.

"We should at least check Lucy's home before jumping to conclusions." Lisanna told trying to reassure the guild that Lucy was just at home safe, and alive. Everyone nodded in agreement hoping Lucy was alright.

A pack of wizards from the small guild hurried out quickly Levy in lead, and Macao following in last checking to see if the group was exited. Natsu sat in the guild, his pink hair covering his face.

"You aren't coming, Natsu...?" Macao questioned holding the door open. Natsu kept silent, giving off a freakish vibe as if he was flaming with emotion, "Come on, Natsu, you're her best-"

"I can't smell her scent." Natsu said with a crack in his voice. Macao closed the door as he approached Natsu with confusion, "I'm scared Macao! What if something happened to Luce!" Natsu's voice raised with panic.

"You'll have to sniff her out with us then." Macao grasped Natsu's wrist pulling him forcefully, pulling him through the doors, and rushing my catching up to their guild mates.

They all gathered around the entrance of Lucy's place. It was dark inside, and lonely, creaking as they walked up the steps to her room as Levy nervously grasped the handle of the door. Gray knocking gently on her door.

"Lucy? You home?" He spoke as Levy opened the door. It wasn't locked?? Some of the others looked around the building, around inside other than her own home, basically anywhere else to find her. When Levy, Gray, Erza, and Natsu had entered her room it was dim, and spooky. The four looked uneasy as they saw the pale dead like guild mate lay uncomfortably on the floor beside her bed. Her body looking pretzel like, sweat beaming from her forehead while she coughed as soft as a mumble. Natsu, with fear, and panic, rushed to Lucy's side.

"L-Luce?! Luce! Get up Luce! Wake up! Luce!" Natsu held her shoulders gently nudging her to open her brown eyes. Lucy groaned releasing more hacks.

"Natsu stop shaking her like that!" Levy screamed feeling petrified to see her friend in such a state.

"Quit it you idiot!" Gray shouted. Natsu, now angrily in flames held Lucy tighter.

"Luce-e w-what happened to you?!" He asked as his jawline tightened. Gray laid his hand on Lucy's forehead.

"Natsu-u... You're... H-Here..." She coughed up.

"She's burning up," Gray pulled Lucy to his own lap, and kept his hand on her forehead, cooling her down with his ice maker magic. She kept coughing as blood slept from the corners of her mouth.
