Strength
This chapter is a little bit...well...its rated M for a reason, not very descriptive, just on case ;) I do not own Fairy Tail.
Chapter 2
Normal pov
Lucy is at a complete loss of where to go, or what to do. After her confrontation at the guild she packed her belongings, and moved out of her apartment, leaving only her furniture and a few knickknacks. She decided to walk through the forest to the next town over so she wouldn't have to spend any money on the train ride there, only to find that it was a lot harder than it looked, and now, she was lost.
"This is the same tree that I just FUCKING passed an hour ago! Ughh!" Lucy yelled as she kicked the poor tree. After calming down a bit, she decides to sit and take a rest for a while. Taking out a drink of water, and a sandwich she packed for the walk, she starts to eat, only to be interrupted by the sound of a bush rattling.
"Hey there good lookin! How are you doin this fine night?" A man with black hair and brown eyes said as he walked out of the bush.
"It's not every day we see a hot blond in our part of the forest" Says a man with blond hair with bright orange eyes filled with lust.
"I...II...I'm going to...ugh..." Lucy mumbles, as she drops her sandwich on the ground and picks up her bag to make a run for it. Before she could get away though, the man with blond hair grabbed her wrist and brought her towards his chest. "Why don't you stay a bit longer with us hm? We could have a bit of fun playing around with you"
"Yea, I'd love to see what's under this shirt of yours Blondie." The black haired man said as he reached for her breast.
Lucy screamed and thrashed around, trying to fight the two men off on her own without her spirits, but once they managed to rip off her shirt, and her belt, she had no way of fighting back. Her whip was of no use in close combat, and she couldn't get to her keys because they were on her belt. Her eyes widened in realization that there was no getting out of this. She screamed and cried out random names that came to mind, hoping that someone would hear her in time, but of course, no one did.
Back at the guild
The guild looked around each other with shocked faces. Did they lose one of their own? Just because they didn't think she had enough power?
"What...what is wrong with us. How could we have been so cruel to Lu-chan?" Levy said out load
"After the Grand Magic Games everyone was so disappointed, we forgot to take into account our own family members feelings." Mirajane said in a guilty voice, looking down at the glass she was cleaning.
"Don't worry minna! She will come back! She always does!" Says Lisanna, trying to keep everyone in high spirits. "Who knows, maybe she will grow stronger from this!"
"Yea! Luce will always return! She loves us." Says Natsu with a fist pump in the air
"I don't know guys...I have a bad feeling about this" says Levy as she fiddles with the pages of her book worriedly
"If she doesn't come back within the hour, I will go fetch her myself!" says Erza in a determined voice
"I don't know Erza, I have never seen her so serious" Says Gray as he talks a little louder for the guild to hear. "We should give her till tomorrow at least, let her calm down. Besides, we owe her a huge apology. "
For the rest of the day, the guild didn't have their regular banters and what not; instead they stuck to talking in groups, trying to figure out how they could make it up to their favorite blond mage...all except a certain white haired mage who frowned through it all.
With Lucy, Lucy's pov
I can't feel my body anymore. I feel so numb and empty, why couldn't someone save me? Why can't I have a family? A home? Someone to love me for who I am? Is this the end for me? Who am I to hope for more? I'm only a weak mage who has just walked out on her family only because they have stated the truth. I am weak, and I have let my guild down time and time again, why should I be on this earth if all I do is disappoint people? I'm a complete failure.
The men left me to bleed to death, with a gash in my arm, stomach, and leg, and bruises and scratches all along my body. I've been floating in and out of consciousness for the past while, and I just noticed my keys. I reach out my right hand, noticing the gash along the back on my hand, where my guild mark is. That will forever leave a scar. I let tears slip down my cheeks as I grab my keys and hug them close to me. Only to bring a bright light, meaning Loke has come to my rescue once again.
He looked the same as he always does, suit and tie looking all nice and groomed. He appears with a smile on his face, only for it to turn into complete horror when he sets his eyes on me.
"Lucy...what...what happened?!" He says franticly as he kneels down beside me, taking in my appearance, before blushing and putting his coat around me.
"Two men...please...let me die" I choke out, tears running down my face as I sob. There is no reason for me to be on this earth. No one loves me. No one cares about me, why should I stay and be a burden to everyone?
He picks me up without a word, and runs back towards magnolia. I don't have any strength to fight anymore so instead I voice out "Please don't take me back there. I'm no longer wanted, please leave me be. There is no place for me now."
He looks down at me with fierce eyes "Lucy! Don't you ever think that! You wouldn't allow me to leave this earth, so why should I let you!? You won't be able to heal quick enough if I don't take you to Wendy, please hang on a little longer, if not for fairy tail, do it for your spirits. They love you Lucy, please continue to be our master." He finishes with a pleading tone
"I'm sorry Loke, how selfish of me. I'm sorry; I'll try and hang on, for my spirits." I say, as I try and keep my eyes open. The last thing I hear though is a banging of a door opening.
