Aquamarine Arrow: Hey everyone! So I heard that Zerlu/Zercy is actually a thing? Well still a crackship but some people do dig it. I'm not completely sure myself, but I kinda like this plot idea so... Here you go!
Enjoy!
Aquamarine Arrow does NOT own Fairy Tail
Everyone was holding hands, including Lucy. Although she was absolutely terrified at first, she wasn't know. If they really were to die, she'd rather die with her nakama. The warmth of their hands, and the brave smile gracing their lips. This is Fairy Tail.
"Mama... I'm coming." Lucy thought, and closed her eyes to brace herself as Acnologia finally gave its ultimate attack.
"..."
"What...?"
There was no pain. She couldn't feel anything. Instead, the blonde was in some sort of container. It felt warm and familiar...
"Lucy, are you okay?"
It's Horologium!
"I-I'm fine. Are you okay?" Lucy asked, extremely worried for her spirit as she walked out.
It seems that Horologium was severely injured, scratches and bits of wood damaged. It brought the celestial mage to tears. Their suffering is her suffering after all.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. I sensed danger impending, so I came right on time to protect you!"
And with that, the spirit faded away with a smile. Lucy looked around the rubble, only to see that her friends were gone. Her family...
"Minna?" Lucy whimpered softly. Her throat hurt, and she knelt down to sob. The cries were so quiet, yet painful. Like glass breaking in a stranded land. All alone. Lucy almost would rather she'd die, but she knew what everyone else would say. What Natsu would say.
"Hey Luce! You go on more adventures, I promise we'll catch up!"
Lucy's vision was blurry, a little swollen from crying so hard. Perfect, now she's delusional.
"B-but you promised we'd go together..."
Still, she knew that she couldn't stay in Tenroujima forever. Lucy had to go get help, or do something useful. If the mage could survive being alone when she was running away from her father, then she should be able to figure something out.
"Of all people, I have to be the one that lives..." Lucy sighed, and walked away from the large crater.
Little did she know, the Fairy Tail mage will soon meet a wizard. A very powerful one at that.
~30 minutes later~
"Aghh! It's been forever! I need food and water..." Lucy loudly complained. She was completely out of magic, so she couldn't call for Virgo. Loke was resting too, so he can't come over either. When Lucy thought her luck couldn't get any worse, she heard a rustling noise. It came from the bush nearby.
"W-who is i-it?"
A raven haired young man, around her age, appeared. He didn't seem to be part of Fairy Tail, but to see another person brought a fresh set of tears to Lucy's chocolate brown eyes.
"Omigosh another person!" she squealed, and promptly jumped on the wizard to give him a hug.
At the sudden contact, Zeref stiffened. "S-Stay away from me you fool!"
Lucy was startled and walked away, "Ah sorry! It's just I've been wandering around here for a while... My friends were attacked by A-... Acnolo-... I mean, a dragon."
"Well I'm very sorry for that miss, however I must leave."
Zeref was about to run away before causing more harm when Lucy grabbed his wrist. This completely startled him, and Zeref expected that he'd end up losing control of his Dark Magic.
"P-please! Don't go. Can I stay with you? I'm begging you, I'll do anything!"
She was absolutely frightened at the idea of being alone once again, and her eyes were sincere. Dark black eyes met soft brown ones. Nothing was happening. No death wave.
"But I'll hurt you..."
Lucy smiled, despite the droplets of tears still upon her face, "You don't seem like a person that would hurt me though! I understand we only just met, but I trust you."
The words rang through Zeref's head. Trust... No one ever gave him trust in a very long time. It felt warm and fuzzy in his chest, something very unknown to him.
"I... rather like this feeling..." Zeref thought to himself.
"Alright. I suppose you may stay with me for now... However, I do need my own privacy though."
Lucy beamed brightly, like an angel, "I understand! Oh, my name's Lucy by the way."
"My name's Zack." Zeref smoothly lied. Chances are, she heard've him. Especially since she's a mage, as the dark wizard had already noticed her golden keys around her waist.
"So, Zack-san, is there a good place to rest? I think it might rain today." Lucy asked, looking up at the cloudy sky. She was right. It looks like there's a storm brewing up.
"Yes, come with me."
The two mages walked along the forest silently. Although Zeref could tell that Lucy was a bit nervous, she'd have to get used to it.
"So she's a Fairy Tail mage... I wonder if I can use her..." Zeref wondered, his eyes were turning crimson before he could realize he was plotting more evil plans.
He stopped in his tracks, "No! I mustn't hurt her! I've already destroyed so much innocence in this world..."
"Is something wrong?" Lucy asked, her head tilting. She was a little too close to Zeref's face for his taste, as he jumped back with a light blush on his face. Just being around the blonde seemed to affect him.
"N-nothing, Lucy-san." he stammered.
Lucy giggled, "You can just call me Lucy."
Zeref nodded, and continued their walk. After a couple of minutes, they finally arrived a formidable cave.
"Ah... If only there was a hotel... Master should've had one made." Lucy murmured, and entered the dark and damp area.
"Master?" Zeref inquired.
"Oh! I'm part of a guild called Fairy Tail. Our Master is Makarov." Lucy happily answered, even showing the pink insignia on her right hand.
Zeref held back a scowl, and returned a small smile. He won't let Lucy know who he is or his hatred for the guild. Lucy, on the other hand, had a look of shock on her face.
"Is something wrong?"
"A-ah no nothing's wrong. It's just... You should smile a lot more often Zeref-san! Y-you super handsome." Lucy answered, and the clasped her mouth.
"Shoot I spoke too much!" Lucy thought to herself in alarm.
Zeref only chuckled and leaned close to touch the celestial mage's now blushing cheek,
"Why thank you. And do just call me Zack." he purred lowly, only making the blonde's face redden even more.
"O-Okay, Z-Zack."
Zeref stepped back, returning back from his devious side, "I shall go get some food and wood okay? Just stay here, and don't move."
Lucy nodded obediently, and Zeref walked away.
"What is wrong with me..." the wizard wondered aloud. He never ever seduced any woman before. No, most of them are too scared, quivering in fear at just the sound of his name.
Also, he hasn't killed anything alive in his surrounding. It was very odd, and just to test out, Zeref walked towards a pretty yellow buttercup and lightly touched it. The plant, upon contact, withered and died. This was no surprise, though it still disappointed him immensely.
"I have to die." Zeref was determined, "But Natsu wasn't able to get rid of me... So who shall now?"
It's been hundreds of years, and not a single wizard was able to even lay a finger on him. In a way, he was death itself. And it was torturing him.
"Lucy..."
That's when the idea hit him. When the wizard was with her, he couldn't kill anything. Now that she's so willing to stay with him, the mage may as well train her.
"I'll train her to kill."
This plan, was of course, quite evil. Though it's also for the benefit of the world and him. The sacrifice of her innocence shall be unfortunate, but perhaps Lucy will be able to kill him. Zeref picked a ripe juicy mango that was in reach. The golden hue of it soon faded away, and the fruit immediately dried.
Zeref sighed in annoyance, "I hope she likes dried mangos."
Aquamarine Arrow: XD Sorry I had to add the dried mango scene if though it ruined the whole 'intense' moment. And yeah I know my writing sucks, don't rub it in my face kay? I'll work on the next chapter, if you guys want it of course! I'll post the next one if I get... 5 reviews.
Until then, see you! :)
