~Freed p.o.v~

It's been two weeks since I rescued Lucy, and she seems to not have awakened, but there is one thing that concernsme the most and that's what Laxus said a day after I brought Lucy to the the guild after rescuing her.

~flashback~(Laxus P.O.V)

It's been two days since Blondie was rescued, but for some reason her scent has changed and I don't belive it's in a good way. The way her scent has changed, is that she now has a lingering smell of Natsu mixed in with her own and that's not what's making me worry it's what Wendy told me. She told me that when Lucy was carried into the guild by Freed, and that Natsu said "what...have...I...done" just when Freed entered. By him saying that I'm lead to believe that Natsu was the one who beat her and also raped her. Then I understood why Wendy and Gajeel were a pissed off, and why Gajeel went running with smurfett over his shoulder.

(Lucy P.O.V in her mind)

Darkness is all I can see, but it is warm yet also cold at the same time. I don't know how long I have been in it but it's been torture. Memories of my painful past are constantly racing through me, making me relive the most painful moments in my life. From loosing my mom, my dad dying, the Phantom Lord incident, Michelle, and worst of all Natsu's betrayal tome. I...I...just want to die.

~Freeds P.O.V ~

I don't know what to do, I can't eat sleep or do anything without worryingthat Natsu will attack lucy again...if only I was there to protect her when it happened. Suddenly I am brought out of my thoughts by an ear piercing scream filled with only pain. Quickly as possible I run towards the scream and I know who made it...Lucy. I see Lucy's back arched and her eyes open...'WAIT HER EYES ARE OPEN!' I scream internally. I run to her side and try to hold her down so she won't hurt herself but it is harder that one might think. So I do one thing that might calm her I hug her.

~Lucy's P.O.V~

As I am floating in my self created void I suddenly feel something in my chest, then everything goes from black to bright white as I let out a scream of pure and utter agony. All my senses are dulled except my sense of pain it's all I can feel. My body feels like it's being stabbed a million times then put in a meat grinder.

Then it happened, suddenly all of the pain and agony just stops as I feel a comforting warmth around my waist. My vision is becoming clear and I close my eyesonly to reopen them to adjust to my visible surroundings. I then see the cause of the warmth.

'Freed Justine is hugging me?,' I glance around and see I'm in the infirmary. I turn my head so I may glance at the green haired teddy bear (¿). Isee his features soften and his eyes spring open as I stare into his soft gentle gaze. Slowly I lift my hand to touch his face. Running my hand across his jawline as I say thank you. As those words left my mouth I welcomed the presence of the warm comforting darkness that I recently learned to appreciate because I know I have someone at my side now. As I slip into the darkness I say something that I didn't know I said aloud. "I may be down, but when I'm up my power shall seek revenge on the one who took my purity and took the light in my gaze"
