"Happy Birthday to you!" Levy's mother Janet, and her father's second, wife sang as she blew out the seventeen candles on her small cake. Usually Levy's birthday was just looked over. But this birthday was different. Not only was she seventeen, but she was also engaged to Precht Gaebolg. A well respected man of the church of Zeref and a good friend of their leader Acnologia. She was to be his fourth and most favorite wife. But Levy was disgusted by this. she was only seventeen and he was in his fifties. Her father was unbearably excited that he could have "such an attractive young child carrier" as a daughter.

Levy forced a smile on her face to hide her pain and said to her father, "Nothing would make me happier to please you and my husband." She didn't dare look at her mother, for fear that her face would only show pain and sorrow.

Her father smiles and softly kissed her cheek. "You will be my prized daughter dear little Levy. But its a shame that you did not catch the heart of our beloved Acnologia. He would have made you such a wonderful bride.

Levy and her mother both look down before Janet spoke, "I will try for a more beautiful daughter." She told her husband with empty words. Levy was never hurt when her mother spoke down to her. She new her words were hollow and meaningless. It was her mother that showed her books when they weren't allowed. Her father had only showed her hate and abuse. But he had done that to most his children. The only ones he showed love to were his first wife and her six children. The other four wives and the children they bore were often looked down wives always seemed to have it worse. They were often viewed as mistresses and sex objects. Janet was no exception. She was the second wife of a very pitiful man who had managed to obtain five wives and over fifteen children and counting. The woman he married were considered the bottom of the barrel. Janet had been too mouthy for most men and she was only five foot four, passing her height along to her three children and soon to be fourth.

"Mother?" Levy's younger brother, Thomas, asked while sitting on his big sisters lap. "Will i ever get to marry a girl like sister Levy?" He beamed. Most of the younger children adored her and the stories she would tell them. Granted those stories would often land her a beating from her father or the other sister mothers if they heard, she still loved telling them all these stories where two people fall in love and live happily ever after.

Janet smiled and softly kissed his hair, "Zeref I hope so." She whispered.

"Janet!" Her father yelled. "come in here and clean up Issac's room! It's a disaster!"

"I'm coming my dear Derek." She whimpered as she ran to go clean up the room of a child she has never spoken to.

Levy let out a small sigh as her oldest half-blooded brother, Jellal wrapped his arms around her shoulder and whispered, "If he dares lay a hand on you, I'll cut it off." Levy smiled and leaned on him. Jellal cared so much for all of his sibling and was nothing like his mother, the first wife. In all honesty, Levy had no clue what her name was. The only time Levy actually ever met her was when she was eleven and went to say hello, only to be told that she was a useless child who would only be some mans, and she quotes, "cum dump". After that, Levy just stopped trying to be nice and ignored her all together.

"So this is my lovely new wife~" She heard a voice at the back door say. Levy froze and tried to smile.

"Hello my dear Ha- Precht" Levy said very quietly. She had always heard rumors about how he treated his wives and was terrified of becoming the next one.

He walks over to the other end of the table and looks down to her with an evil smirk. "I still cannot understand why such a beautiful lady as yourself is still a virgin." He takes her by the wrist and picker her up out of her small chair and across the table and into his arms. "Nothing would make me happier than to bed you right here on this table~" He whispered in her ear, a shiver running down her spine. He caressed her bare thigh and smirks. "I will certainly enjoy marking these as my own~" He purred before dropping her a good foot onto the floor. "I'll see you next week my dear wife." He said before leaving. That was the first time she ever met her husband Precht (Hades) Gaebolg.
