I am scum, no worse than scum...though not entirely sure of what that maybe. I think maybe if I were Hades then I wouldn't as bad right now...What did I do to achieve this high level of suckiness?[Is that a word?]Well I don't really know myself...all I do know is I made Lucy cry!

When I woke up that morning I thought it would be a good time to go on a mission. We haven't been on one in sometime and knowing that I was running out of money for food and Lucy always could use money for rent.

I sent Happy to the guild while I went straight to Lucy. I gave him the job of searching for a high paying and suitable mission for the three of us.

Now here is where things get weird. When I got to Lucy's house her window was locked...you think this might be a normal response to me and as well as other guild member habit of breaking into her home, but no. Lucy never locked the window...at least not anymore[it was losing battle to try]. I allowed my fire magic to cover one of my hands as the other held for balance outside the second story window. Running my hands across the end I watched the flimsy metal melt from the frame. With a light push the window was open and I hoped inside.

Something weirder, Lucy was still in bed...it was already two in the afternoon and just how could she sleep in later than me! I climb on the bed squatting between her covered legs. Her head was turned to the side as she laid on her stomach. And though I couldn't see much of her face through her hair I still noticed the slight redness to the skin around her eyes and the unusual puffiness. I reached a hand out to brush away the hair and allow me a closer look, but as soon as my finger gazed her skin those hug brown eyes opened, wider than normal. She swapped my hand away as if I was poison and crept up till her back was pressed into the headboard. "Go away." Her eyes weren't looking at me and her hands were tightly grasped onto the front of her night shirt.

"Hmm, but I wanna go on a mission Luce." I said innocently.

"Go without me!" She snapped instantly. "...Or better yet go with Lisanna!"

That just made me more confused. I mean even before Lisanna had "died" I never went on missions with her. She was with Elfman and Mirajane for things like that and I never really cared even if it was just me and Happy.

"But we're a team." I tried to reach out only to get my hand slapped away again. This was getting annoying.

"Then we aren't anymore!"

As soon as those words left her lips I felt my entire body tense and an anger began to swell inside of me. I could see her body shaking and the smell of tears was filling the room, but I didn't care at that moment.

"FINE! Don't bothering asking me for help next time you're low on rent!" I screamed pushing myself out the window. I seethed all the way to the guild so much that I could feel the flames surrounding my body. Even as I stormed away in anger I could hear the sobs from her apartment.

The moment I pushed those double doors open the entire guild when silent. "Happy we're going home!" I yelled to the blue exceed. He was confused, but he didn't argue with me as he floated over to me and we left.

Now it is a week later...Lucy disappeared taking a mission solo that was five days ago...

I thought I'd still be angry with her, but I'm not. I just want her to come back safe.

I don't know why she was upset...well at least not the original upset that she was. The day before that fight she had been fine talking with the other female members of Fairy Tail. I was fighting with Gray and some of the others, so I never noticed her leave.

Did someone say something?

I glance over to where Lisanna and Mirajane are talking with Cana close by drinking from her barrel and adding a comment here and there.
I perked my ears up to hear what they were discussing, but turned my head away so they wouldn't notice my attention on them.

"Lucy's been missing for a long time." Mirajane spoke quietly.
"She was pretty upset after you told her that story Lisanna." Cana commented.
"I don't know why, she asked about when me and Natsu were younger. She was excited at first." Lisanna said.
"Maybe it was because you told her about the marriage idea you two had." Mirajane commented before squealing for some reason, but I didn't care.

I stopped listening rather I was now heading over there myself. "Lisanna!" I yelled turning their heads as well as the heads of other guild members. I held my anger down to lowest I could manage. "Why did you tell Lucy that!" I questioned.

"Hmm, it was just something from when we were little, I don't see a problem." Lisanna shrugged innocently. She was right about that, but it didn't change anything between me and Lucy.

I slammed my fist down on the bar table. "I know! But now Lucy's angry with me all because of it!" I yelled at her.

I expect Mirajane and Elfman to beat the living hell out of me for yelling at Lisanna like that, but neither did. Really I was wondering why till I scanned around and saw all the wide eyes focused on the guild entrance. I turned my head to see the reason for their reactions.

Loke or Leo stood, well leaned against one of the guild's open doors. He looked like a wreck, but even his condition was better than that of the blond female who he carried in his arms. "Help her..." He said in hushed voice that echoed through the silent guild. His body began to fade, but before the blond could drop to the floor Gramps caught her in his enlarged hand.
Panic broke out the next moment as Mirajane and Wendy rushed to tend her and Gray, Erza, and Gajeel were kicked out to get the Procoylia. Everyone elsee was listening to any order that was given to me, they all ran around in their panic states rushing to gather bandages and ointments. I remained rooted in place unable to tear my eyes away from the beaten face of the blond mage.
"Lucy..."

This is my first NaLu story, or Fairy Tail story for that matter. This is kinda of a prologue for the story.
I know I shouldn't start writing a new story considering I have enough stories that need updating, but I can't help that my fandom lead me back to Fairy tail. I originally began Fairy Tail before the anime was even made[though now I prefer watching the anime]...I was already a fan of NatsuxLucy/NaLu in the beginning.
I'm also working on a NaLu 100 sentence/paragraph list which I'll post the first ten sometime this weekend.
