Chapter 27

A Night of Worries
Lucy shoved Loke out the door. "No! You are not coming in here with me."
"Aww, but Lucy..."
"I'm not falling for your tricks, Loke. Go flirt up some other girl. I'm dating Natsu now."
That...felt odd to say. Really odd. It made her blush a second later, but by then she had closed her apartment door, so Loke could not see her. She placed her hands to her cheeks.
"Dating, huh?" she muttered to herself. "Sheesh, I can't believe that idiot proposed to me. I mean, seriously? He couldn't wait until we have one official date? He rushes into anything in life, I guess."
She fixed herself some herbal tea to warm herself up after the night chill. She had already showered, but after making love to Natsu—Did we really just have sex is a frigging dungeon?—she needed to wash up again. She sipped her tea while soaking in the bathtub, blushing from time to time as she thought about that night of passion and Natsu's words.
I'm not going to formally ask you, because...well, because Gajeel said he thinks I might go fully feral before this ceremony thing is over. I don't want to leave you with a lot of expectations. Still, think about it. If I live through this...would you want to marry me?
"That idiot," she sighed, blaming the heat in her cheeks on the hot bath. "Like I can tell him no."

Down in the guild dungeon, Natsu curled on his side, trying to get some sleep, but his mind was filled with too many thoughts, as well as plenty of worries.
He could die. Or even worse, he could lose the last vestiges of his humanity and become some murdering, cannibalistic beast that would kill his own friends. The thought of death was not something new. He had nearly died plenty of times. However, now he had something to truly live for.
He brought Lucy's panties up to his nose. Her smell soothed him. His mind calmed down when he thought of her smile.
He had to live through this. He had to survive and make Lucy happy. He would court her properly, and one day he would buy that carrot ring...whatever the hell it was. Then he would marry her and take her home with him. He wanted children with Lucy, to be a father, to see her holding his babies. As he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, he saw Lucy pregnant, with a pink-haired little girl in her arms and a blond boy holding onto her kitchen apron.
Having a family with the woman he loved...
It was truly something to live for!

In a guest room of the guild, Rogue sat with his fingers peaked together, rubbing his nose across the tips. Sting stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, his blond hair rumpled from roughing it up with a towel to dry it off.
"Trouble?" he asked.
"Thinking," Rogue muttered, staring forward with a creased brow. "Something seems wrong about all this, but I can't figure out what."
"Wrong about what? The ceremony? You didn't teach me wrong, did you?"
"No, that should be easy. I mean about this feral. That blonde girl, what's her name...Lucy? She was attacked, right?"
"The hot chick? Yeah. Sounds like she was one of the first victims."
"Exactly. The beast also didn't just kill her. I mean, it probably would have eventually, but it was playing with her first, according to what Gajeel told us about the whole incident." His eyes narrowed in thought. "Playing with her. It marked her, bit her neck and her breast. Why would it mark her if it meant to kill her? Unless it smelled Natsu on her, and the marking was a taunt to him. Whether if she died or not, Natsu would have seen the marks. But could she have merely been a taunt? Erza mentioned that just before they left to hunt down Natsu, the feral delivered a blonde head to Lucy's door."
"Like a cat bringing a present," Sting muttered, drying off and searching for his underwear.
"My same thoughts," Rogue nodded, glancing briefly at Sting's body. He had a few minor cuts from his fight with Erza and Mira that morning, as well as bruises to his back and shoulders from his fight with Natsu, and Sting kept rubbing out his head where a rock from Balaur had knocked him unconscious during that scuffle in the woods. It had been a rough day for Sting. "Why a blonde and female head, though? If it was a mere present, wouldn't any head suffice? Blondes aren't too common in Magnolia."
"Are you checking out the local girls?" Sting teased, tugging his boxers up.
Rogue ignored that. "Why would the feral bother Lucy a second time, and leave a present rather than attack her? Or an even better question is, why didn't it finish her off? Even if she was in a hospital, that place isn't guarded all that closely, and certainly not from aerial intruders. Normally when a killer decides upon a target, it'll keep at the target until the job is done, especially if it has every opportunity to return to Lucy and finish her, either in the hospital when she was unconscious, or after she was released and back at home." Rogue tapped his fingers together. "Something changed. Something about her. It's killed other women before, so it's not like it wants a mate."
"Maybe the human kid inside fell for Lucy. I mean, she is hot. That could've affected the feral beast, especially since it's a facet of his emotions."
"That's one possibility," Rogue nodded. "We know for sure, feral slayers react on darker emotions, and lust would be one of those. However, we don't know exactly how conscious a fully feral person is. Gajeel only got close, and he lost all human consciousness. With Laxus and Wendy, they don't remember anything at all. Tonight, just before we left, Gajeel said Natsu was somewhat aware of conversations that happened while the beast was in control. Dual consciousness could be possible as a person's psyche merges and becomes suppressed by the secondary personality. However, it's just as likely that as time passes, the human consciousness would sink, separating the two personalities once more. The window of opportunity in which human and feral consciousnesses would blend is probably very narrow. Natsu is at that point, but this Earth Dragon Slayer is likely past that. He's way too far gone. So why did the feral not kill Lucy? Why did it give her a present? Why did it play with her, mark her, let her live...? Too many questions. Something isn't adding up."
"Maybe it didn't kill her because of Natsu."
Rogue froze the drumming fingers and slid his gaze over to the half-naked blond. "What?"
"Well, maybe it was waiting for him. He was out of town, right? Maybe it wanted a good fight, so it kept harassing Lucy so she would bring Natsu back into town."
Rogue considered that. "Lucy said she saw red eyes at her window the same night Natsu likely made his first transformation. So the smell of Natsu going through the change would have been at her house. When the feral arrived days later, it would have smelled that and assumed she was Natsu's woman. It would want to steal property from another feral. That would explain the marks, tagging her as its property. Then Natsu left Magnolia. It could be the feral wanted him back to fight him, so it harassed Lucy, like you said. In that case, now that Natsu is back in town..."
"It would harass Lucy again," Sting realized. "Natsu's locked up. The feral would use Lucy to draw him out."
"Shit," Rogue sneered, and he rose quickly, grabbing a cloak as he marched to the doors.
"What are you going to do?" Sting shouted after him, yanking his pajama pants up. "We don't know where Lucy lives."
"Someone else in the guild must know."
Rogue stomped down the stairs and to the main dining hall. It was long after midnight, and the only people around were Kinana at the bar and a few stragglers around the tables, most too drunk to see straight.
"Does anyone know where the Celestial Spirit Mage lives?" Rogue shouted urgently. The others looked over at him, some shrugged, and they looked away. "It's important," he insisted, but they still did not seem that interested.
Kinana came up, and the short-haired bartender smiled daintily. "Do you mean Lucy Heartfilia?"
Rogue nodded, figuring there must be only one Lucy and one Celestial Spirit Mage in the guild. "I think she might be in danger."
"Sorry, I'm not sure where she lives. Lucy left hours ago. She had her Lion Spirit with her. If she's in trouble, he'll protect her. I don't know Loke well, that was before my time, but I hear he's really strong."
Rogue glanced toward the door. From the windows, he could see it was late and foggy. The fog would mess up his sense of smell, plus the stench of the feral was all over this city. Tracking it would be impossible by smell alone.
"Could you wake someone who does know?"
Kinana looked panicky. "I...I'm not sure who would, other than her teammates. You could maybe ask Natsu, but it's best not to make him worry too much."
"No, if he finds out Lucy might be in danger, the shock could turn him fully. Do you know where Lucy's teammates live?"
"Only Erza, and I only know that she lives in Fairy Hills. Men aren't allowed in there, and it's past curfew, so the landlady wouldn't let me in even if I tried. I...I could maybe wake up Master if it's really an emergency."
Just then, Sting came down the stairs wearing only his pajama pants and no shirt. Kinana blushed as she ogled his sculpted muscles and the Sabertooth crest on his sleek skin.
"We don't want to make trouble for Makarov off of a suspicion," Sting warned, and one could see the respect he felt for the older guild leader. "If Lucy's got Celestial Spirits, she'll be fine." The blond dragon slayer patted the shoulder of his darker companion. "You know how strong Yukino is, and Lucy has even more keys, including Leo and Taurus. If there is any danger, they'll fight their hardest to keep her safe."
"I really hope that's enough," Rogue muttered.
"The feral is injured. I doubt it'll attack now. We can have someone check on Lucy in the morning." He smiled to Kinana. "Don't worry about it, cutey." Then he dragged Rogue back upstairs, complaining about how Rogue always played such a melodramatic role, rushing off when a woman's life was in danger, and if he just loosened up, he would be popular with the girls.
Rogue ignored Sting's jaunty remarks. He dressed for bed. Sting was out quickly, snoring happily away, but Rogue sat up by the window, gazing out at the foggy city. He had a bad feeling that lingered all that night.

Lucy was having a bizarre dream. In it, she was pregnant. She never had a dream like that before. Not only was her belly huge, but she had a two-year-old in her arms, a cute girl with sakura pink hair.
Children! But who was the father?
"Mama?"
She felt a tug on her apron, and she looked down to see a little boy, not more than five years old, with golden hair like her own and narrow eyes. She knew those eyes. Although they were brown like hers, the squint in them...
A door slammed shut. "Lucy, I'm home."
Lucy looked up with a leap in her throat. "Welcome home, dear," she greeted cheerfully, feeling happiness at hearing that voice.
She heard footsteps approaching and looked at the kitchen doorway, waiting to see the man she loved, the father of these children...her husband...
Instead, a black-skinned creature rounded the entryway, with red eyes glowing and white fangs grinning menacingly. Large wings spread out, completely blocking the doorway. The toddler in her arms began to cry, and the little boy jumped in front of Lucy, ready to fight for her.
"Oh God," Lucy gasped. "No...no!" She grabbed her son protectively and trembled as she tried to back away.
"Lucccccy...mine!"

The hissing growl jolted her awake, only to see the same shadow in her window. Dark brown wings spread out against the foggy night sky, and red eyes shined at her.
"You is called Lucccccy," the creature hissed. "I claimed you, marked you."
Lucy jolted up in bed and grabbed her keys in a panic. The pounding in her chest hurt; she breathed so hard it made her fingers cold and numb. The grip on the keys shook violently. It was happening all over again, just like that first night. Only this time, she had her keys at hand. She should feel safer, but facing this murdering beast once more terrified her far worse than it had the first time. Now she knew what she was deal with. She knew this creature not only killed, but it ate its victims.
And she knew, if left alone, Natsu would turn into a beast like this.
"Stay back," she warned. She had Loke's key ready in her hand.
The feral tilted its head in wry amusement at her defensive stance. "Want fight? Is not the fight I want. I want better fight. Want other feral. You smell like him. Fuck him? Lucky fucker. I want him now. Want fight him. Want kill him. Want him to watch as I fuck you and kill you. Best fights are over women. Best fights are revenge. You will make him fight best. Other feral ran. You chased. He took you away from me. Is bad. All...is bad. All...must die. I kill you. I kill him. Then I kill all in this rotting town. All. Kill all. But first, I kill you...Luccccccy."
It hopped off the windowsill and strode slowly into her room.
"Scream," it smiled sadistic. "Scream for him. Bring him here. I won't kill you until he comes, but..." Those red gazed up and down her body. "...might rough you up a bit." It hunched forward with a snarling, predatory grin. "Scream!"
