Hey guys, I'm Chany, this is my first Fic and I know it is a crack pairing but I seriously love these two, at the start Sting will be his normal ass hole self...

Tell me how I went and don't forget to follow or favourite! Thanks..I may have a few grammer mistakes because I was super excited to uplaod it but I will be sure to go over it all!

After the undignifying battle with Minerva, not only did Lucy's physical injuries appear apparent but her loss of confidence in her own skill; feebly sitting within Honey Bone Inn her hands resting upon her face, Lucy couldn't resist the urge to cry, feeling that she was letting her teammates down.

Bring her hands together Lucy clasped them as hard as she could just being able to see a tinge of blood where her finger nails dug into her skin, the negative thoughts swirling inside her mind were suffocating. I won't let this get me down, I'll get stronger….for Natsu…Erza, Gray, Wendy and the rest of the guild. Keeping my face down won't help anything. Abruptly standing up Lucy rose her head; unclenching her hands. The mascara that covered her eye lashes now had stricken down her face; going towards the mirror Lucy wiped away the mascara freeing her face from the make-up. Unfortunately that wasn't the only thing that stained her face, the injuries she had sustained were expediential and her arms and legs were covered in bandages, her eyes were reddened and swollen from constant crying while her lips were tainted with a dark red.

Shaking her head Lucy put on a smile, she wasn't going to let that get her down, she would rise back up to face the others, even though she let them down she knew that they would accept her mistakes, even her celestial spirits would forgive her, even though Lucy was still filled with guilt and doubt.

Turning away from the mirror Lucy walked out Fairy Tail's room in Honey Bone Inn where they all slept, none of them currently being inside the room because they were cheering on the other battles that were taking place; they knew that she needed time to reflect.

Stepping out of the Inn and into Crocus' warm sun Lucy stretched her arms like it was a new day, "Arhhh" Moaning as her arm stretched high up towards the sky; bringing it back down she walked down the couple of steps that led her towards the street but her feet fell short, her eyes widened with fear and disgust, the smirking Sting Eucliffe stood in front of her.

He smugly leaned against a building with his distasteful eyes staring at her, Lucy was tempted to turn around but that would be a bigger show of weakness; one that she was not yet ready to accept. He pushed himself off the building and walked towards her.

"What a nice pathetic face that is..."

Examining her red swollen face, he closed the distance between them, his breathe was warm against her neck, she knew he was taunting her, swallowing and putting on a strong face Lucy kept her calm.

"What do you want Sting?"

Standing back up straight Sting glared at Lucy

"Mhmm..Feisty are we? Minerva really messed you up didn't she? That's what you get for… Being... weak!"

Lucy flared her eyes, she knew herself that she wasn't in her strongest state and she kept telling herself that, but hearing it from him really angered her. Once again clenching her fists Lucy didn't say anything, she wasn't in the mood to argue with him.

"Hmmhp, see Lector, Blondie knows it as well. You even had your friends come and claim you afterwards, how pathetic."

Lucy saw the stir near Sting's feet, it was no doubt the Exceed that was always with the bastard, she wanted to quickly get out of the situation, her body wasn't coping well and her heart started beating faster, the adrenaline kicking in; with a sweat drop come down Lucy's face she finally spoke up.

"Even if I may be weak at least my guild stays true to their honour, you cheating fiends."

Lucy caught her breathe knowing she struck a nerve, being openly accused of cheating was nothing less than infuriating even if they actually did commit that crime.

The white dragon slayer stiffened and lifted his hand near Lucy's face, he was emitting a killing aura.

"You're lucky Blondie; that we are in broad day light..."

He clenched his fist around her hair and squeezed it, his eyes being menacingly evil.

"I'll get you back making sure to finish off what Minerva started."

Sting let go of her, pushing her slightly and walked away with Lector not that far behind, speaking words of calm to Sting.

Letting out a sigh Lucy fell to her knees, she wasn't ready for a confrontation like that yet, her emotional state wasn't at what it usually was. He utmost frightened Lucy, the way he stared at her and referred to her guild as weak and scum, it angered her. What surprised Lucy though was why Sting was at the Inn in the first place, she wasn't quite sure but Lucy knew that he would be back.

Clasping her chest as she slowly calmed down, Lucy raised her hands up as if to challenge the gods,

"RIGHT, I'm not giving up yet!"

Standing up from the steps and mildly coughing at the same time Lucy thought that a stroll around these streets would be a fine way of relieving her from that awful experience before coming back inside for the night. She had hope that her friends were doing well in the Grand Magic Games; she would have gone to support them but she would have just been ushered back into her bed where she could rest, there was no point to going there when instead she could look for a new book to indulge herself in.

Lucy noted that there were only a small amount of people present in the street; despite the fact that the city was gigantic Lucy was sure that everyone in the city would be watching the Grand Magic Games, which is understandable…. Except of course Sting Eucliffe, who had been at their Inn. She still couldn't wrap her head around what had happened, moving her hand towards her chin Lucy thought about for a moment before a book store appeared from the corner of her eye, fully looking up Lucy could see that it was a run down and small shop that would contain, by the looks of it, a few old and historical books that would spark Lucy's interest.

Smiling at what she saw Lucy cheerfully bounded over to the store and went inside, the door chimed by a bell when she entered and she heard an old lady say 'good afternoon' to her, smiling towards the Old Lady, Lucy made her way to the back shelves of the book store where the dust covered the tops of the books, the bindings hiding behind mounds of dust and dirt; merely holding her hand out and randomly grabbing one of the books Lucy shook the dust free off the book and moved it out onto a table. Opening it and reading the context.

*A couple hours later*

"Haaaaa, it's already dark. I guess I got distracted." Putting her hand behind her head Lucy laughed to herself, her mind had finally relaxed from the endeavours of the week and she was ready for bed. Getting up and placing the book back in its rightful place Lucy said her thankyou's to the Old Lady and exited the book store, the bell chiming. It really had gotten dark.

Looking around Lucy saw no one in the solemn street and shivered as the cold was setting in; being only in one of her many dresses that Fairy Tail supplied. Not looking around any longer Lucy walked towards the Inn, it was a couple streets away but that wasn't worrying for Lucy. Well she thought so anyway.

She had the feeling that there were a pair of eyes focusing on her, not that she could see much anyway, but as a sound noised behind her, it was certain that her fears were true. She slowed and stopped walking completely, frightened of the fact that she had no magic power left to defend herself with.

Frantically looking around Lucy shook her head and paced her steps, the night was seemingly foreboding. She could hear the crickets sounding and light footsteps coming from somewhere, she was completely unaware of the fact that someone was creeping up behind her. At the very last minute when their hands were out to grab her Lucy turned around, only to be caught by what seemed to be male hands.

"AHHHHHH, LET GO, LET GO." She screamed as the hands were trying to get a grip on her. Lucy tried feebly to squirm out of the figure's grasp but it was becoming futile as she was losing strength, with a last desperate attempt Lucy moved her fingers towards her keys but they were quickly taken off her belt.

"HEY, STOP IT. THEY'RE MINE. WHAT THE HELL. STOP!" She kicked and screamed but her hands were bound together and a gag was placed over her mouth. Lucy could feel her heart beating through her chest, she was frightened but she calmed at the fact that she knew that Natsu and the others would save her…if she wasn't killed first.

Still struggling to free herself, the male had tightened his grip around her waist and back, making it impossible to move. She was pressed up to his body, her head on his chest but then felt the man move closer to her face; being face on to the attacker. She could feel his breathing on her cheeks and at first she thought he was a perverted old man but the reality struck.

"I would have liked revenge in a different manner…. But masters orders..."

The voice; Lucy had known it too well; it was all vivid in her mind now, what had happened earlier that day.

"Hmm... did you miss me Blondie?"
