It's been awhile since Team Natsu failed a mission by a force greater than themselves, well by themselves by deception and lies.
A/N gonna try this one out for a spin if I'm lucky I'll have new updates every Friday at the latest or Monday as the earliest. I'm aware my editing skills suck but please bear with me.
She awoke in darkness, her head throbbing in agony. Sitting down chained to a chair. Her body covered in wounds and dried blood. Her eyes still adjusting to the harsh light of the still around she saw nearly next to nothing. The walls were white, the floor was white and the ceiling was white. There was only two objects other than the chair she was bound to. A chair identical to hers but without the chains and a small solid oak table. Placed on that small oak table was her keys and a rather small pill.
She struggled for a bit seeing that her chair wasn't bolted down. Inch by inch she got closer at the expense of the spikes on the chains driving deeper into her skin. Crimson blood staining her white and blue outfit. Suddenly she accidently made the wrong move that caused the chair to tip over. A pool of warm blood cuddling her tear full eyes and staining her blonde hair ever so much. She was only a few feet away from her keys. In her mind she could hear the names of the trusty celestial spirits she was going to call. Taurus, or Loke heh even Scorpio she heard a door; she had not remembered there being a door of any kind within the white room. She heard the voice of her captor; a young man, not much older than herself.
"Aw what a shame, dear, to spill such pretty red liquid.. don't you know that it stains? Oh well; that's not what brings me here today dear Lucy," he said in a rather playful tone, tipping the blonde's chair up, returning it to its original spot.
"I don't care! They will find me and they will save me.", Lucy muttered, clenching her teeth to keep from forgetting where she came from..that she'll never give in.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk.. Lucy my dear you simply don't get it, do you? they are not coming anytime soon; they abandoned you..you are dead to them," he whispered, his lips curling into a dastardly evil grin.
"No! They are just getting help! Yeah, that's what they're doing right now, you'll see!" Lucy said knowing her comrades better than to think they would just up and abandon her.
"heh yeah right they think you're weak they know you're useless there is nothing or no one to save you now my dear Lucy," he said now with an evil laugh.
"Weak? No, you ambushed us," Lucy said; suddenly a flashback came to the forefront of her mind.
She was walking into the guildhall all happy like, saying hi to everyone. Her smile would instantly bring even the most angry and sad members back to being their cheery had went to go say hi to Natsu and Gray..who were, of all things, fighting each other. They were also arguing over who was better: Lucy or Juvia.
Lucy had opened her mouth to say hi, until she overheard Gray, his words dripping with venom.
"Face facts Natsu! Lucy is a pathetic weakling.. She needs to 'use' her spirits to fight her battles! At least Juvia can defend herself in battle," Gray snarled.
"But but… . Ugh, I hate that you're right," Natsu said.
It brought Lucy so much agony to remember the rest... Her captor snapped Lucy out of her flashback. He was now sitting in the chair, and it appeared that quite some time had passed; he seemed to be in the early stages of falling asleep. He seemed to be growing impatient as the time dragged on. Lucy wiggled until she felt most comfortable in the metal chair. She painfully brought her eyes to meet his pleading for him to loosen the chains if anything at all. He just shook his head no.
"What do you want from me if I'm so damn weak?" Lucy brought herself to say; the words cut her like a hot dagger through butter.
"Oh? I thought you'd never ask, my dear Lucy. I see a hidden potential in you, my dear. One that would make you far greater than any S class wizard," He smirked, waiting for the most obvious reply.
"What's the offer and what's the catch, you asshole?!", Lucy replied, not wanting to hear his reply; it may become her only way out at this rate.
"Oh cute, you think it's wise to curse me out right now. Happy! Well, here's the offer: I'm going to give you a brand new magic at the cost of your loyalty, your memories and... let's say I'll spare your guild when it's all over," he smirked as he glanced over to the small pill.
"Can I have a moment to think about it first?" Lucy replied, about to call him asshole again. She figured it was not a wise thing to be calling him at this exact moment.
"Indeed, how rude of me to expect a swift answer to a excellent bargain involving one's life. I shall go grab you a glass of water for when you decide to accept the offer my dear Lucy," he said before leaving out the same door he came in.
The exit door blended in so well with the wall it seemed to vanish. Lucy began to wonder if there was a window also hidden somewhere in this accursed white room. With what little time she had that thought didn't linger for she thought it's either take the pill and lose my free will to become a slave of some sort just for some new magic...or rot in this white box forever left to wonder what his plans are. Forgive me my family; forgive me Fairy Tail...I must accept.
Soon the door opened again, he walked in carrying a cold glass of water and sat once again in his chair. He looked at Lucy for a moment or two his small smirk stretching ear to ear now.
"So what will it be my dear Lucy?" He asked, awaiting Lucy's reply.
Lucy was silent for a moment but she said with a slight sigh, "OK.. OK you win. I accept. Do your worst to me, but don't hurt my family."
Meanwhile at Fairy Tail
A few months had passed.. Lucy had been missing nearly a year as it nears Christmastime, but there's not much cheer left...
All was silent for once at the guildhall Natsu and Gray had not fought a good fight in what seemed to be ages. Erza had stopped eating as she just stared out the window with Happy by her side. The news of Lucy's death spread quickly within the guild. They missed her cheery good morning greetings to the bright chocolate eyes and magical grin. Mirajane even noticed Cana had stopped drinking and watched as her father's attempts to cheer her up fail. She sighed she had never seen the guild this upset. To make things worse Erza had not gone with them on the regrettably horrible request. Erza was with Mirajane the whole time on a request of their own.
Master Makarov had just returned to the guildhall not being destroyed as he predicted would happen. He was at a council meeting that dragged on a very long time. They had decided to take a recess until the new silence and rather odd behavior scared the old man, hell even Laxus was being caring for once in his life.
The master walked up to the bar sitting in his usual spot. He turned to Mirajane who wasn't even arranging and decorating for Christmas. He tilted his head ever so slightly confused.
"What's the matter MJ?", Master Makarov said seeing she was about to cry.
"you haven't heard yet Huh Master. Lucy is no longer with us, she's in a better place"Mirajane said thinking she would be able to keep from bursting into a river of tears. She had to stay strong for everyone.
A/N sorry if the paragraph spacing is off I wrote this using the google docs on my phone and for some odd reason won't let me transfer from there to fanfiction easily. So I uploaded on my laptop. Sorry I rambled on but oh well. :/
I will try to upload new content at least every Monday or Friday if lfe decides not to be a douche
