Title: Fairy Tail - The Eight Pages

Disclaimer: Fairy Tail is not my property; also, all fictional characters, references, and locations are not my property. I will not reveal the extent of the crossovers and references yet as to ensure no spoilers. Enjoy!

Author's Note: Just a brief warning, this fan-fiction will contain a few things which come from scary origins. Search them at your own peril, you have been warned. Also, this fan-fiction will be a bit non-linear in story in that I plan to Tarantino it. (For all those who do not understand the reference, I suggest that you watch Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and/or Reservoir Dogs or indeed, anything by Quentin Tarantino in general. Be warned, these films are not for young people. Also, one of Tarantino's most infamous trademarks is non-linear storytelling. This is often coupled with interwoven stories, multiple crossovers, multiple pop culture references, and beginning stories In Medias Res, AKA "In the Middle of Things," which I am about to do. Enjoy!)

Chapter 1: 3:00 A.M., December 21, Location: Somewhere in the woods of Magnolia.

Lucy Heartfilia's day, or, considering the abundant darkness, should we say, night was going rather swimmingly. Well, that is if you define "swimmingly" as "OH MY GOD I AM BEING STALKED BY SOMEONE OR SOMETHING EVEN CREEPIER THAN JUVIA IN A DARKENED FOREST WITH A RAPIDLY DIMMING FLASHLIGHT AND SIX DISTURBING NOTES OF INCREASING IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE!" Well, regardless, as Lucy frantically ran forward, she thought, "This situation is absolutely NOT going to get any…" Let us pause for a second as the break in Lucy's thoughts were caused by Lucy's missteps in the darkness, which in turn caused a sudden trip and tumble down a conveniently located rocky hill into the wall of an equally conveniently located stone bathroom complex, all of which momentarily stunned Lucy's thought process, and the flow of the story, and indeed Lucy herself, but that is beside the point. Ah, Lucy's seems to be back to her senses. The exposition shall continue!

"OW!" was Lucy's philosophical reply as she picked herself off of the forest floor. Suddenly, something grabbed her attention. Lucy shifted the light of her dim flashlight to the bathroom wall with which her posterior had only just recently made the acquaintance of. On that wall was a piece of paper, with which a crude yet pertinent message was written in dark black ink. "HELP ME!" the paper read. Lucy sighed to herself, help me indeed, then Lucy did a quick glance to her sides as she plucked the paper off of the wall. "Well," she muttered as she tucked the paper into her pocket, "I think I gave it the slip." Suddenly, a thunderous booming filled her eyes. Violently jerking around, Lucy waved her dim flashlight around and weekly called out, "Hello? Who's there?" Sadly, Lucy obviously failed to observe Rule Three of the "Rules on how to survive a Horror Story" from Scream Series. Said rule reads, "You may not survive the story if you say "Hello?" or "Who's there?" to any strange noises or random occurrences." Regardless, Lucy figured out just fine what happened in about 20 seconds, as her flashlight faintly illuminated what looked to be an inordinately tall and thin man. One might say this man, as it most likely is a man considering that said figure was wearing a black dress suit with a corresponding black tie, was rather… slender. Considering that the figure in question was lacking a face with the only object on its head being what resembled a blank, white, and featureless mask, we can safely assume that Lucy was face to face with…

The tape ends there. Only days later did I happen to pass by said bathroom with its security cameras. This account above was pieced together with the surviving footage. Most of said footage was inordinately filled with static and interference, mostly occurring when a tall yet obscured figure was near or at the camera. The footage the pieces together this account ends with aforementioned ending. Yet, about 20 seconds later, a high pitched scream of KYAH! Along with a scampering noise is heard. The blurred static seems to show the image of a blonde girl who rapidly runs into the bathroom complex. This is followed by an even louder KYAH! The scream is coupled with additional static, and after this, the footages stops. Additional research will be complied…
