Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for the support to my last story, "Scarred on the inside", yes, this is the sequel, I hope you all enjoy it =)

Lucy POV

I sat in the bar, conversing with Cana. The card-user was half-drunk, but I didn't mind; she was really funny. Loud, booming laughter echoed across the hall and I grinned in the direction of the voice. My own feeling of happiness unable to keep itself off of my face. "Hey, L-Lucy?" Cana hiccupped, and I turned to her.

"Yeah?"

"Have you and Sting...y'know...done it?" She slurred, drunkly smiling at me and raising an eyebrow suggestively. I frowned in confusion.

"Done what?"

"You know, that. The great deed." My face turned bright red as I realized what she was implying.

"W-what? Why would you want to know that?" I couldn't meet her eyes and she laughed drunkly, almost falling off her chair.

"Oho! So you have! About time! You guys have been in this guild for like, a month." She swayed on her seat slightly and pointed a beer-holding fist at me triumphantly.

"N-no! We haven't!" My voice came out higher than usual from embarrassment. Cana opened her mouth to reply, but was rudely interrupted when the huge oak doors to the guild were flung open. Normally, I wouldn't have taken much notice of this, as people opened the doors like most of the time, scratch that, all of the time, but it was the people who walked in that caught my attention; there was a big group of them, all male from what I could tell. They were wearing armour and their faces were grim, almost angry. A man - their leader I assumed, because of his different, fancier uniform and demanding air - stepped forward, and cleared his throat loudly.

"Where is Lucy Heartfilia?!" He thundered. I stared at him. What? He wanted me? Why? Shakily, I stepped forward. Was I in trouble? His eyes locked on me as I walked forward.

"I'm here." I was proud that my voice didn't shake; it sounded much braver than I felt.

"You are under arrest, on charges of the mass-murder of every man, woman and child that lived in the village of Oduesp. Any resistance will be viewed as an immediate threat and we will be forced to take extreme measures in order to assure your compliance." His dry voice filled every inch of the vast room. Silence pressed in unbearably around the guild, and I felt shock well up in me. Mass-murder? Jail? What? A low, angry murmuring buzzed in the guild, before people began to yell out in protest. I heard Sting's voice among everyone, but I couldn't move. How could they think this? That's when the leader's voice rang out, silencing all others.

"SILENCE!" Two soldiers stepped forward and roughly gripped my upper arms. They then began to drag me towards the guild doors. Finally, panic snapped me out of my shock.

"W-wait. Stop it! Let me go, I didn't do anything! You must have gotten it wrong!" I was seriously panicking now. They were going to throw me in jail! But they had to understand, I never did anything! I fought against the soldiers instinctually, but their grip only tightened, and I was sure I would get bruises later.

"Wait! No! You can't arrest her! She's innocent!" I heard the desperate voice of Sting and looked up frantically into his wide brown orbs. At the sight of him, I fought even harder, trying to get to him, but I couldn't shake off the soldiers. My breathing was coming hard and I could feel a burn behind my eyes. They were going to take me away from my home! NO!

xXx

"Quiet! We are leaving now. Any who try to stop us will be killed on the spot." The Leader's dry voice rang out and the soldiers jerked me roughly away from Fairy Tail, even as I tried to get one last glimpse of them.

"LUCY!" I saw Sting bolt after me, only to be intercepted and held back by Laxus and Gajeel. Gajeel whispered something in his ear, and Sting fell limp to his knees, tears streaming down his cheeks. It broke my heart. He was in so much pain. I wanted to stay with him. I loved him.

"STING!" I yelled desperately, still trying to turn around and see his face, even as the soldiers marched me away. "Sting! I never did that, I promise! I love-" I cut off as the guild doors slammed shut, blocking my view of everyone. Finally, I stopped resisting, and let the soldiers drag me away to whatever hell they had lying in wait for me.

Sting POV

"LUCY!" The scream tore from my throat savagely, and before I knew what I was doing, my feet were pounding after her. Innocent. She was innocent. I couldn't think of anyone less likely to murder than her. They couldn't take her. They couldn't take Lucy away from me! I felt a tug on my arms and vaquely recognized Gajeel and Laxus. Struggling, I almost managed to throw Gajeel off, but then he leaned forward and hissed in my ear.

"Idiot, stop! If you go after Lucy now, you'll die, and that will break her. Besides, we will rescue her; just not now." I stopped struggling as the truth of his words hit me, and slumped forward, falling to my knees. I barely noticed the tears running down my cheeks. How could they take her away? Lucy. I would save her. Somehow.

"STING!" My head whipped up at the sound of Lucy's pain-filled voice. "Sting! I never did that, I promise! I love-" Slam. The echo of the doors resounded throughout the guild, cutting Lucy off. She was gone. Arrested. No. No! I hated this helplessness. Not being able to do anything. Clenching my fists, I bashed them into the floor.

"DAMNIT!" Raw emotion coursed through me, and I felt something small touch my leg. Turning, I looked into the tearing eyes of Lector.

"S-Sting-kun." Seeing that he needed me, I wiped my eyes and picked him up, though that didn't stop my tears. He sobbed into my shoulder, and I made my way over to where Rogue and Fro were sitting. Looking at Rogue, I spoke.

"I will get her back." He nodded his head in determination, and Fro timidly mirrored his action. I was glad to have such good friends like them. Turning away from them, I quietly muttered to myself. "Just wait for me, Lucy."
