I'm back with a new Nalu story. Before I say anything else though, all rights to Hiro Mashima the amazing creator of fairy tail. This is my third fairy tail story that's probably going to be kind of long so I hope you enjoy. It will probably take me forever to update though...Anyway, please favorite, follow, and review. And if you haven't please consider reading some of my other stories.

The first day

It was currently raining in Magnolia and it wasn't a certain rain woman's fault. Everything was just gloomy. Nothing exciting was going on. Not even the rowdiest guild Fairy Tail was being as loud as usual. Most of the world didn't know, but one of their most important members had gone on a job, but never returned. That member was Lucy Heartfillia, the light of Fairy Tail. Only the members of that guild knew of her disappearance. They had of course searched for her, but that turned up nothing. The last day they saw her was on a Tuesday. She was smiling cheerfully as usual, and had told her team that she was going on a solo job. Her team was against it of course, especially Natsu, but she refused to back down. She said she needed to prove to herself that she wasn't a burden to her teammates. Natsu had reluctantly let her go, but told himself if she wasn't back in three days, he would go look for her.

The mission Lucy took was a simple one. All she had to do was find a rare gem in a forest. It wasn't a dangerous forest, actually it was far from that. It was actually one of the most peaceful forests. The worst thing that happened there before was touching poison ivy and having your body itch for a few days, at most a week. Lucy's teammates probably only allowed her to go just because nothing usually happened in that forest, until now.

Natsu had promised himself that he would wait three days before searching for Lucy, but he just didn't have the patience. It was only after one that he went to find her. He, of course, decided to walk all the way there that way he wouldn't have to suffer from motion sickness. That was probably a bad thing to do since it took him four days to walk that distance. If he had suffered through the motion sickness, maybe he could have gotten to Lucy before she disappeared.

When he arrived at the forest, her scent was completely gone. He asked the client of the mission but the old man said she never appeared. That only made Natsu's worry grow. Had the train she rode been attacked? Natsu knew that his best friend could take care of herself, but he couldn't help but worry. He was just that type of person. After three days of searching, he went back to the guild to tell them the bad news. Lucy was gone and there was no trace of her.

The guild was distraught. There stellar mage had disappeared on a job that was supposed to be easy. They didn't know where she could have possibly gone. For all they knew, she could've been kidnapped. Team Natsu had continued the search, but even they were beginning to lose hope. They had no idea where she was. It had already been a week and there was no sign that she was still alive, or that she was coming back. That was when the demon started to surface within Natsu. It was small though. It needed more fear and worry to completely envelop Natsu's mind. While it waited, it hid in the darkest corner of Natsu's mind, where it would never be found.

Lucy's p.o.v

It was dark. I couldn't see a thing in front of me. Chains stopped me from moving my arms and legs. It was impossible to move. I could make out the silhouette of a table. There were things on it, but I couldn't tell what. I didn't really want to know either. I heard a door creak open but I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. Footsteps followed the sound, getting closer and closer. I felt two arms wrap around my waist. I couldn't make out who's body it was though. The person's head laid lightly on my shoulder. Their hair tickled my skin, making a shiver go up my back.

"Lucy." A voice whispered. It was a male. Their voice wasn't very deep but it was low enough I could instantly tell it was a man. Their head shifted and I saw red eyes staring up at me. Those eyes were so familiar, but I couldn't remember where they were from. "I missed you." He hugged me harder, I could feel my ribs shift a little bit underneath my flesh.

"You were supposed to be mine from the beginning, but then you ran away. Don't you know how much that hurt me...you're beloved fiancee." I racked my brain to remember who this person was. Suddenly I got it. Before I ran away and found fairy tail, I was betrothed to a man my father picked out for me. That was one of the main reasons I ran away from home. I didn't love this person. They didn't love me. I didn't want to be in a loveless relationship.

I tried to recall this persons name. It was something weird. I didn't know how I could've forgotten it.

"My darling Lucy. I'm sure you don't even remember my name. If you had taken the time to learn my name, maybe you could have remembered it. I did very extensive research on you. You're simply perfect. I don't know how I even let you go." The man released me from his hold and clapped twice. Lights turned on instantly. I squinted and I finally saw who it was that kidnapped me. I can't say that I was happy to see him.

I could finally see what was on that table. There were an assortment of knives, whips, hammers and nails. I didn't even want to begin to imagine what he was going to do to me. He saw my eyes on the table. "You have to be punished for escaping me. I won't let you ever leave me again. No one will take you away. Not even your guild. I'll destroy that first. Everything precious to you will be demolished by me. I think we'll actually start right now." The man walked up to a table and picked up a knife. He walked back toward me smiling like a maniac.

Without warning, the knife came down and slashed open my cheek. I let out a yelp of pain. "If that hurt, just wait 'till we get to the more fun things darling~" He licked my blood off the knife. I couldn't do anything but hope that soon, somebody would save me.
