* I do not own Fairy Tail or Vampire Knight, but I would love to live in their worlds for a day or two!

Lucy POV

We were having difficulty with this fight, much more than we expected. Natsu, Happy, Wendy, Carla and I were doing everything we could to take down the mage that had been terrorizing the mountain town we were near but she was too fast for Wendy, too smart for me, and too strong for Natsu. I really wished that we had brought along Gray or Erza as well, but it was too late for that.

The woman was toying with us, I could tell since she didn't seem to be using much magic. She was laughing as she jumped from one spot to another with such speed and precision that it was almost impossible to follow her with the naked eye.

"Stay still and fight me!" Natsu yelled as he roared at the spot where the mage was, only to miss when she disappeared again.

The woman laughed. "How amusing, you expect me to simply stand still so you can attack me? What sort of idiot do you take me for?" Faster that I could see, the woman was suddenly in front of Natsu, her long black hair flowing with her movements as she punched him under the chin.

It barely fazed him. "Fire Dragon Claw," Natsu yelled as he struck out with a flaming foot, catching the woman in the stomach. That was the first real hit that any of us had gotten on her. That's when I noticed how much that hit affected her; she was coughing up blood as she stumbled away.

That's when I got an idea. I pulled out Capricorn's key with a plan quickly forming in my head. "Open, Gate of the Seagoat, Capricorn!" The tall goat spirit appeared instantly in front of me; ready to do everything he could to protect me and my friends.

"How can I help you, my lahahdy?"

"I need you to dampen her magic and boost Natsu's. Wendy, do you still have enough magic to increase their speed?" I asked the sky dragon slayer.

"I can try," she said with determination as a blue magic circle appeared around her. "Fleet-footed wind galloping across the sky… VERNIER!"

Natsu and Caprico started glowing with power before both of them started moving so fast that it was hard to keep track of them. Not sure of what else I could do to help, I pulled my whip to stand guard over Wendy. I was on guard for any movement. Natsu and Caprico were glowing from Wendy's spell, so if I saw any other movement I would suspect it to be the mage and attack.

It happened twice. The woman would stop as if she was attempting to catch her breath and I would wrap my whip around her long enough to slow her down some more so Natsu and Caprico could get some hits on her. This seemed to piss her off and she would try to come after me, but she couldn't get close to us before she was stopped and beaten back.

The end came a lot sooner that I had thought. One moment, everyone was a blur as they ran back and forth between the trees, and then there was a crash to my left as the woman was thrown to the grown hard enough to make an indentation. Her breathing was labored and I could hear a wet sound with every breath she took. Natsu and Caprico were standing over her in case she was faking it or tried to get away.

"Do you surrender?" Natsu asked as he stood over the woman.

We couldn't see her face. Her black hair was covering her, but I just knew that those piercing green eyes were looking at us. I stayed on guard for Wendy's sake; I wasn't going to let my friend be hurt.

"I can't surrender… you've already… killed me," the woman rasped out.

Behind me, I heard Wendy gasp and rush forward to heal the mage. I went with her. Just as Wendy was about to reach for the woman, I saw the glint of her green eyes through her hair. I don't know how I knew, but in that second I knew that the mage was faking it to try and get an advantage to win or escape… and that advantage was going to be Wendy.

Without even thinking, I pushed Wendy away just as the woman made a grab for the girl and ended up grabbing me instead. I screamed as the world rushed around me and the mage had her back to a tree and was using me as a human shield between her and my team. I struggled to free myself from her grip, but she had my arm twisted behind my back in a way that made it impossible for me to move.

"You're not the one that I was hoping to procure, but you will still do nicely," she whispered in my ear before turning her attention back to my team. "I would keep a distance if I were you," she told them. "You may have weakened me, but I still have enough magic to make this one's worse nightmares become reality."

Natsu was growling as his fists ignited. "Let her go!"

"Why? So you can capture me and have me arrested?" I felt her low chuckle reverberate against my back. Suddenly, I felt very scared. "No, I do not believe that I will be going with you. What is going to happen is you are going to let me go. I will be taking this woman as insurance to make sure that I am not followed. I will release her unharmed when I believe that I am safe."

I was angry. Her words made me angry. She thought I was nothing but a human shield that she could use as a bargaining chip and a hostage. That had happened too often and I was sick of it! I knew that Natsu could take her out if I gave him an opening. I didn't care if I got hurt either since Wendy was there and could easily heal me. So I did something that I knew would hurt, but convinced myself that it was the best way to beat her. I slammed my head back into her face at the same time I stomped on her foot, hoping that she would release me or throw me away from her.

She did neither; instead, she gripped my arm tighter and twisted it harder. I couldn't help but cry out when it felt like my shoulder pop as it dislocated. Natsu and Caprico tried to take advantage of the distraction, but she was too fast. She took me deeper into the woods, but I tried to stay calm knowing that she wouldn't escape Natsu, Wendy and their noses.

The mage kept ahold of me as she ran, eventually, she almost collapsed from exhaustion but her grip was still firm on my damaged arm.

"You little trouble maker. You are the reason I am about to be captured," she sneered at me as she twisted my arm even more. I couldn't help but cry out again from the pain. "It's time to make you pay for what you've done to me."

Lifting her hand in front of my face, it started to glow an eerie green color before touching my forehead. Right away, it felt like hot needles were stabbing the soft tissue of my brain. I wanted to scream but the pain was too much to do anything. Then there were images filtering through my head; no, my nightmares were filtering through my head. I could feel my entire body begin to shake with fear as my worst nightmare came one after another until they stopped on an image that was so terrifying to my memory that I felt tears fall from my eyes.

The woman chuckled again. "So, your greatest fear is being bled dry by vampires? I think I can make that happen. You've cost me my freedom, it's only fair if I cost you your life." She began chanting behind me, the words were spoken too quickly for me to follow as I felt the magic spike around me.

I could hear Natsu calling out my name as they came closer. Just as they came into view, the mage chuckled again, her voice much weaker than before. "They're too late. Have fun with the blood suckers. You'll be lucky if you last a week."

She pushed at my back as she released my injured arm, I fell forward into a black hole of magic and I kept falling. I heard Natsu, Wendy, Caprico, Happy and Carla all call out for me, but it was too late. As the magic surrounded me and I felt myself being pulled away from my friends, I lost consciousness; but I hoped with everything I had that when I woke up, all that had happened would be nothing but a bad dream.

Natsu POV

I saw Luce fall into a circle of magic. I jumped to follow her but the magic circle kept me back. When the circle disappeared, she was gone. It wasn't just that I couldn't see her; I couldn't smell her or hear her heart beat. What made it even worse was that Capricorn disappeared from beside me. That would only happen if something really bad had happened to Luce.

That's when I lost it. I jumped onto the woman and started hitting her until she was all bloody and bruised. If Wendy and Happy hadn't pulled me off of her, I might not have stopped. What made it worse was that the woman kept laughing through the pain.

"What are you laughing at?" I yelled at her. I wanted to burn her and make her suffer for hurting Luce and taking her away from me, but I couldn't. Not only was it against everything it means to be a Fairy Tail mage to kill someone, but she would know how to bring Luce back.

"Congratulations, you've captured me," she smiled at us. "But I'll tell you this; you want to let me go otherwise you will never see that blonde girl again. I just sent her to a world where her worst nightmares are living, breathing beings and they will tear her to pieces."

My body was shaking from rage at this woman and fear for Lucy.

"My guess is, she might last up to a week," the mage continued as she kept smiling at us. "Mages don't exist in that world so she might or might not be able to use her magic. But either way, the magic in her blood will make her quite the delicacy, the beasts of that world will want to eat. Her. Up."

I lunged at her again and pinned her against a tree by her throat. I didn't know what to do, I wanted to make her suffer but I wanted Luce back.

"Natsu, you have to stop," Wendy said as she pulled at my arm. "I know how you feel but we can't hurt her anymore. We have to take her to the Magic Council and report to Master what happened. Then maybe we can figure out a way to get Lucy back."

I knew she was right, that that was the best way to go, but that didn't stop me from hitting the mage one last time to knock her unconscious. As the woman fell to the ground, it took several deep breaths to calm myself down enough to step away and let Wendy tie her up with magic cancelling ropes. When the sky dragon slayer didn't immediately start healing the woman, but instead stepped away so Happy could carry her, I knew that she was really upset too.

Wendy used a communication lacrima to tell Master Makarov what had happened. I wasn't paying attention to anything they said. Instead I was concentrating on my breathing, something Luce had taught me to do when I needed to calm down. I couldn't stand that I wasn't with her. I told myself that I had tried, but I had failed to protect her. She was my partner and my best friend, if anything happened to her I would never forgive myself.

A/N: This is the first crossover story I have ever done, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it will turn out. Really want to hear from all of you since I am writing and posting at the same time, usually I write the entire story then post it, so readers will have more interaction with what happens to Lucy.

A/N 2: Lucy will be having a romantic relationship with one of the characters from Vampire Knight, but I'm not sure who yet. Let me know who you would like to see her with by review or the poll that I'm setting up on my page!
