In the dark hallway of the small mansion, eight year old Lucy watched as her master laid on the tile floor, blood spreading around his body in a large pool. The light of the moon illuminated the red blood making it look silver. The notorious Mard Geer chuckled as he whipped his bloody hand on a clothe. The man's looks were almost as malice and cold as the man standing next to him. The man's red hair and dark eyes shone in the lighting of the room, but that wasn't the sight Lucy was terrified of. Dragon wings folded up on the man's back, horns curled backwards, and red scaled that patched parts of his skin. Lucy new all too well the men were demons.

The sight of her fallen master brought tears to her light brown eyes. Though he was not the best man in the world, he still gave her food and a place to work.

"Still at this pointless game Mard Geer?" The man with red hair asked.

"Ha ha." Mard Geer chuckled. "Igneel your too soft. Dragons are supposed to be heartless and cruel like us demons." Mard's eyes shifted from the bloody body to the dragon king.

Igneel scoffed and kicked the body of the man his partner just killed.

"Don't forget that I'm still a king and if I wished I would kill you, I have only one reason for allowing you to speak to me like that. My son is going to rule both demons and dragon, and I will not start a war for him to deal with, besides I have no pleasure in killing randomly without sport. I prefer hunting."

Lucy took a step back from the door, only to trip over her own feet and fall back, slamming agent the cold floor. Igneel's head snapped around to face the door were Lucy hid behind. With incredible speed he crossed the room and opened the door to reveal Lucy's trembling body hiding in the shadows.

Mard walked over and looked over Igneels's shoulder, smirking.

"Looks like there's one last human to deal with." He chuckled.

Lucy never looked away from Igneel's eyes, her own eyes were wide in fear. her body shook, unable to do anything else. The dragon only scoffed and reached out his hand and grabbed the girl's shirt color, pulling her forward.

"I believe this was the lord's slave girl. I herd he had one, but I was told she was a loyal servant...maybe she'd make for a birthday present for my son."

Mard started to laugh hysterically.

"You thing that little brat will please his lordship E.N.D?"

"I do."

Mard stopped his laughter. His eyes hardened as he looked at Lucy with disgust. His gaze shifted to the dragon king. Scoffing he turned around and started to walk to the broken window in which he'd come through.

"Do as you wish Igneel, but human's don't last long, so don't get angry with me if his highness despises the damn brat."

"Oh, he'll like her." The dragon smiled. "Natsu's always wanted a human pet."

The words echoed through Lucy's head. She was unable to move, unable to fight, she only wished to be back home with her parents, but she had no place to go, her family was gone, murdered when she was just six. An orphan wouldn't survive in the harsh world. Demons and dragons had taken control. The world now was under their rule. If she fought, she'd die, if she ran, she'd die. Lucy could only submit to her fate, and lower her head in surrender.

The demon disappeared out the shattered window, and the dragon followed, holding her captive in his arms as he spread out his wings and took off into the night sky.
