Lucy's POV

I woke up but I couldn't see a thing. I tried to remember what had happened before I passed out. Than it all came back to me. Natsu was at the guild and had taken down all of my friends. After that he had put some sort of spell on me to let me fall asleep.

My heart started to ache. The reason being how much I loved Natsu and the being in this situation. I was going to confess my feelings to him, but the night I wanted to do so he disappeared. Now he had come back with only one thing in mind and that thing was me. It just isn't the Natsu he used to be. Although I can't deny that I still loved him with all my heart. I had still hope that somewhere deep inside was the Natsu that I love.

Trying not to think about it too much I focused on finding out where I was. It felt like I was being carried, thrown over someone's shoulder. I also felt something covering my eyes. He had blindfolded me. Suddenly I heard someone chuckle, it was Natsu.

"I know you're awake" He laughed

"Why am I blindfolded?" I asked him.

"You didn't think I would take you to my hideout without a blindfold, right?" he laughed.

"Why not?" I asked him.

"Because you will escape."

"I wouldn't even dare. Even if I tried to you would catch me right away."

When Natsu didn't answered, I continued "Natsu, please put me down and take of the blindfold. I promise I won't run."

He sighed "Ok, but if you try it anyway I will catch you and when that happens I won't be as nice."

After he had said that, he put me down gently and undid the blindfold. When he did, I had to blink a few times to adjust my eyes to the sunlight although the sun was already starting to set. I looked up at Natsu. Just that moment he looked like the Natsu I knew apart from the horns and stuff. I reached my hand up to cares his cheek. He looked into my eyes and reached up his hand to hold mine.

"I missed you." He said.

"I missed you too." I answered.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of my hand touching his cheek.

I continued "Natsu, you don't have to do this. We can go to the guild and look for a solution with the help of our friends. We will find a way-"

Natsu interrupted me "I can't Lucy, you don't understand."

As he said that he let go of my hand and turned around.

I reached out to him with tears starting to emerge and said "Then make me understand, Natsu."

He turned around fast and growled "Enough!"

As he saw how I backed away from him, his anger immediately disappeared.

As I started to cry he pulled me into his arms and hugged me tight.

"I'm so sorry, Lucy. I'm so very sorry" Natsu said, his voice braking.

I knew that Natsu was crying as well. So, we stood there hugging each other for a while knowing that we both needed this.

"I don't know what's happening to me, Lucy. I don't want to do all this, I hate it, but I just can't help it. Every time it feels like something just takes over and I can't help it. I'm so sorry, Lucy. I don't want to lose you." Natsu cried with his head in the crook of my neck.

"Don't worry, Natsu. I won't leave you. We'll figure something out. Everything will be ok, I promise." I tried to comfort him.

Natsu POV
After my little breakdown, we continued walking towards my hideout.

"Natsu?" Lucy asked me.

I answered a simple "hmm?"

"Will there be other people?"

"Yes, there will be my men who will protect us from intruders and Zeref will be there too."

After I said that she stopped dead in her tracks and looked down.

I turned around and asked concerned "Lucy, what's wrong?"

She answered me quietly "Can you hold my hand, please? I'm… scared."

She didn't even need to ask me. I would do anything for Lucy. I held out my hand to her and gave her a reassuring smile. She immediately took hold of it and got close to me as we started walking.

"Don't worry, Lucy. I won't let anyone touch you." I told her.

After a few minutes, we arrived at my hideout. It was a mansion in the middle of the forest.

It was build out of wood and was surrounded by trees. From the backyard, you could see the balcony that was attached to a cosy bedroom. That room, was my room. As Lucy saw how cosy the mansion looked, she seemed to relax a bit.

We walked inside where my men were waiting for us.

"Welcome back, Natsu." They all said.

"Is this the Heartfilia girl you've been talking about?" One of the men asked.

"What will you do with her, Natsu?" Another one asked.

"Can we play with her too?" Yet another one asked.

I didn't like how they talked about Lucy. Just as I wanted to say that Lucy was off-limits a figure appeared from behind the men.

"Silence!" The figure yelled at the men.

The figure was Zeref. I protectively pushed Lucy behind my back.

"Welcome back, brother." Zeref said.

"I'm not your brother." I answered coldly.

"Well well, look at what we've got here. If it isn't Lucy Heartfilia. So, that's why you've been gone." Zeref said ignoring my comment as he looked at the girl standing behind me.

I didn't answer him just as I didn't move from my protective stance.

"So that's how it's going to be? Bow down to me!" Zeref said coldly.

As he said that my body started to move on its own and before I knew it, I was bowing down before Zeref.

Lucy's POV

I looked at Natsu in shock. It seemed as if his limbs started moving on their own. I could see from Natsu's face that he was doing this against his will. Was Zeref controlling him?

"You know what will happen if you don't listen to me. So, you will do as I say or I will make you do it against your will. Either way it will happen so don't be so stubborn." Zeref said coldly.

"What are you doing to him?" I asked Zeref.

Zeref than looked at me and answered simply "I was the one who created Natsu thus I can let him do as I say."

I knew that this wasn't Natsu! Even if Natsu is END, he's still the same Natsu. Zeref is just the reason why he's behaving like this. He's controlling Natsu, making him do bad things.

"That isn't right! You can't take away someone's free will!" I protested.

Zeref seemed amused "You dare challenge me little girl?"

After that I started feeling an immense pain in my stomach which brought me to my knees. I cried out from the pain as I fell to the ground. Tears started emerging from my eyes. It felt like someone kept stabbing me in my belly. It felt like I was going to die. After that everything turned black as I passed out from the pain.

Natsu's POV

"Stop it!" I yelled at Zeref as I saw Lucy squirming in pain.

When Lucy fainted, he stopped.

"Keep her in check because I won't be as indulgent next time." After that Zeref turned around and walked away.

I immediately ran towards Lucy who was lying motionless on the ground.

I picked her up bridal style and spoke to the remaining men "She's off-limits. No one of you will touch her. Understand?"

They all nodded and walked away. After that, I carried Lucy upstairs to our bedroom.

I laid her down in bed and laid down beside her. I held her tightly in my arms and kissed her forhead.

"I'm so sorry Lucy."
