"Z-Zeref.." Lucy trailed off, unable to make words. Once it finally clicked in her mind, she scooted back in an attempt to escape him. She stopped when her back slammed against a tree, and she curled her thin body into a tight ball.

"Just l-leave me alone!" She cried, hoping to earn the mans sympathy. Her body began to shake with anger and fear. The hot tears still streamed down her pale face, and her throat dry from all the screaming and crying.

"I'm not going to do that Lucy." He chuckled, making Lucy's blood run cold.

Without thinking, Lucy shot up and ran. Her legs still burned and ached from earlier, but she wanted to get away from Zeref. He has done terrible things, like killing innocent people for his own gain, and Lucy doesn't want to be his next victim.

Lucy doesn't look back as she runs. She keeps going.

Lucy slams into something, then falls back. A gasp escapes her lips when she sees the man she's trying to escape standing above her, an evil grin adorning his face.

"Come on Lucy, don't be difficult. Come with me." Were the last words Lucy heard before everything went black.
