'What's that smell? Its sweet... makes me really drowsy...?' Natsu thought. Right now Natsu was in his little cabin in the woods. Laying in his hammock with Happy sleeping above him. "sweet like... its something familiar..." Natsu's eyes shot open. Standing above him were two men. One was small built with blonde hair and a face completely covered by scars. The second male was more tough built, almost like Elfman after training for the Grand magic Games. He had ginger hair and had a smirk on his face.

"Awww... you woke up. We were hoping to do this the easy way and just knock you out with sleeping gas for a few hours... With your nose and all, maybe a few days." The man sprayed more of gas in Natsu's face and his vision blurred.

"Who... are you..?" Natsu asked before falling unconscious. when he woke again he was chained to a wall. He fought with all his might but they wouldn't budge. When he finally got super upset he tried to use his magic but it quickly vanished. Leaving behind a exhausted Natsu. Magic restraining cuffs... great whoever kidnapped Natsu meant business. Whoever they were didn't seem like they were letting him leave anytime soon.

'A year, 2 months, and 3 weeks had passed since Natsu disappeared. Where are you now, Natsu?' Lucy thought. She was sitting in her usual spot at the guild since Natsu left. The corner in the back suited her for some reason. It gave her time to think and she could also watch the door, waiting for the day the pyromaniac would burst through yelling "I'm home" with that stupidly cute signature grin of his. At first Gray, Erza, Happy, and her searched all day, all night. They looked everywhere for Natsu. But never even found a hint of him. It was like he never existed. Even his scarf was gone. Lucy remembers the day well. The day the guild had found out about Natsu's disappearance.

Lucy was sitting at the bar laughing with Mira and Lisanna when the doors to Fairy Tail burst open. This wasn't an uncommon thing to happen at the guild but Lucy always turned to look. Happy was in the door way with tears pouring down his face. Immediately worried, Lucy ran to the blue exceed. "Happy! What's wrong?!"

Happy's speech was barley understandable but Lucy spending as much time as she did with Natsu and Happy understood every word. "Gone...Natsu... Cant find... disappeared.. Lushi!" He wailed.

Lucy quickly pulled Happy into a hug and spoke small comforting words to him "I'm sure he isn't gone. We'll find him, he probably went fishing or something. He's got to be around here somewhere."

Lucy never knew how wrong she was. To this day they still cant find their lost dragon slayer.

Lucy sighed. "Where are you?" Even after others gave up and said Natsu was either dead or never coming back Lucy kept hope. No matter what happened, Gray, Erza, Happy, Lucy, and even Romeo never gave up, and it would stay like that until the day they came across his cold dead body.
