Natsu's POV

Dammit. I wasn't paying attention to Luce. "Natsu? Are you ok?" Asked Happy with concern in his voice. I nodded. "I smell Lucy!" I heard Nash shout. I clenched my fists. I was about to look at Nash to tell me where she was but then I too, smelled her scent.

We started going west from the village. "Lucy's scent is getting stron-! I smell blood!" As soon as I said that Happy started going Max speed and Nash started to skip trees. Hang in there Luce.

Lucy's POV

I opened my eyes. "Where am I?". Then I remembered. I got caught by a Griffin. I got up to see other people lying down. I saw only women and I also noticed that I was bleeding on my arms. "I see you're awake." A voice said in the shadows. "Who are you?!" I asked. "My name is Nathan and I am the one who told the Griffins to capture the women." He replied with a harsh voice. I was scared. Natsu where are you? I looked back at him and noticed something. He had a weak but dark aura, dark blue like the place you think you are all alone and all black clothing.

"You better let her go!" I heard three voices say. My head whipped around so fast my head got dizzy a bit. It was Natsu, Nash and Happy! "My my. Another woman eh?" Nathan smirked. I was about to run to them but Nathan grabbed my bleeding arms and pulled me. "KYA!" I screamed in pain. I tried to struggle but he tightened his grip on my arms.

Nash's POV

I saw Lucy struggling and I was about to help her until I saw Nathan pull out a knife across her neck. Nathan smirked. "You better stop moving or else I have to cut your pretty little head off." Dammit! I was about to attack him but then Natsu held me back. I looked at him dumbfounded. He shook his head and pointed behind Nathan and Lucy. I saw Loke creeping behind him with his Regulus Impact forming on his hands. He sprinted and hit him on the back. He fell and lost the knife but he was still holding Lucy by her shirt. He threw her against the wall of the cave and Lucy fell on the ground. Natsu and I looked at each other and nodded. Together we sprinted and and started attacking him. He dodged some of our attacks but eventually he got knocked out by Natsu. We turned to see Lucy being helped by Happy.

We all helped the other women and they thanked us. We got our reward and left.

I was about to enter the train until I got pulled by Lucy. "Hey Nash? Can I ask you a favour?"
