Previously:
Lucy's P.O.V
I hear Rouge scream. I couldn't make out what he was saying. I hurt. Everywhere. I hate this pain so much. With my last bit of strength I whisper the boy who I trust the most and couldn't live without's name, "Rouge..." My voice sounds so broken. Glancing around, but not moving my head due to pain, I couldn't see him. The last thing I hear before the darkness took hold of me again was Rouge's soft breathless voice saying my name, "Lucy.."
Chapter 4: Flashback pain
Rouge's P.O.V
The crowd cleared as I slowly made my way towards arms showed the scars and fresh wounds from her using too much magic at once. I feel my eye's brim with tears as I look at her knowing she is in pain. "Goddamn it Lucy.."
I feel my tears finally start falling as I reach her. I look up to the man holding her, reaching my arms out to take her from his lap, i feel his grip slightly tighten on her shoulders. My tears stop as my pupils turn to slits, I let out a deep threatening growl. His eye's widened as he let go of her in shock, I honestly didn't mean to frighten him, but I am a dragon slayer. I have dragon instincts.
Snatching Lucy into my arms, I felt tears slide down my my face once more. I held her close inhaling her scent, he makes a move to take her back, is he really that dense? "Don't..Touch...Her..." what was meant to be a whispered warning came out a sentence broken because of my growl.
As I stroked her hair and rocked back and forth, I started to feel the shadows gathering around, sensing my weakened state. I can feel my will power disappearing. I'm about to give in when "Rouge," hearing my name come from Lucy in a breathy whisper, I look down, her beautiful brown eye's looked into mine, her smile painful and tired. "Don't give in to them, if you do I will kick your ass."
Her voice only having a ghost of the bubbly happy way she would talk was painfully weak. Even under that I could tell she ment it. "As if you could." I managed to choke out. Upon hearing small soft footsteps approaching I look up and see a small mage with brown eyes and dark blue hair looking at Lucy with concern.
When her next words left her mouth I felt the shadows retreat in such a fast pace I knew my hope was overwhelming. The four words that saved my sanity. As the girl looked me in the eye she said calmly, "I can heal her." Picking up Lucy I closed the gap between us looking at her seriously I whispered two words. "Do it." after pausing a moment I added, "please."
Wendy's P.O.V
The man looked so lost, broken. I felt so bad. Inspecting the girl carefully I realized that even though she is near death I could heal her. Rallying up all my courage I walked slowly as not to alarm the man called 'Rouge'. Stopping 7 feet away he looked up at me with a tortured gaze staring at me with a tear streaked face. So I said the four words that would give him hope, " I can heal her." He stood up and carefully carried the girl, 'Lucy', towards me, "Do it," his voice paused, "please."
Lucy's P.O.V
Darkness. It was everywhere. I feel no pain, even though I was sure I was dying. The memories of today's events suddenly cloud my mind, oh god, Rouge...Shit Rouge! My eyes flew open and I sat straight up only to knock heads with someone. I see that it is not Rouge, Sting, or Michelle so I do what I always do in a sticky situation, using my equip magic grabbing my two Katana's out of the air and attacking.
I sliced parried, and swiped, but somehow he managed to get me defenseless and pinned me to the wall. Both my wrists are above my head, and his body is pressed to me. I feel my eye's glaze over as a sudden memory pushes to the front of my mind. Oh god no. I dont want to see this...
~Lucy's flashback~
Normal P.O.V (A/N this is a sad part)
It was 3 months after 8 year old Lucy's mother died. He father has been neglecting her. When a maid suddenly comes into Lucy's room saying her father wishes to see her, she was ecstatic to finally get daddy's attention. Lucy was then led to a room she didn't know they had the manor. She walks in excitedly, she can't wait to play with daddy again.
But thats not what happened. No. When she walked into the room the door was slammed shut, Lucy got scared and attempted to blast the door down only to find they were in a magic concealing room. Suddenly Lucy's hair was grabbed from behind and she was dragged to a corner where she was thrown whimpering in pain.
Looking up to her attacker Lucy was highly surprised to see 'daddy' standing there holding a whip. Looking down on his daughter Jude Heartfillia smirked and then started screaming at the frightened child, "YOU WORTHLESS BITCH, ITS YOUR FAULT LAYLA'S GONE! YOUR FAULT! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE! YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER!" He screamed many profanations as he hits his defenseless daughter with the whip.
Over time Jude began to change his use of weapons. Using blades, bats, pole's anything that could cause her pain really. As Lucy aged and trained her magic, she just couldn't escape her fathers wrath. One day when Lucy turned 18 he dragged her to the no magic room, Lucy expecting her normal beating was shocked when the door closed and she was pinned to the wall (A/N exactly the way Natsu pins her in present time) and starts whispering things to Lucy like, "You look so much like Layla, you should've expected this."
She struggled and fought but just as she was younger it had no affect. As the man she once called father took out a knife and ripped away her shirt, Lucy felt a surge of power. Not even the magic depleting room could hold her back, Loke opening his own gate gate attacked Jude rescuing Lucy. That was the night Lucy said good-bye to her trainers and ran away.
~End Of Lucy's Flashback~
Natsu's P.O.V
I leaned over the girl smelling her confusion. What is she confused about? I leaned over until our foreheads where almost touching trying to see what was wrong when suddenly her eyes flew open and she jumped up knocking heads with me in the process.
She recovered quickly, then she attacked me! What did I do?! I couldn't think of a way to get her to stop trying to slice me with her swords so I slipped under her defense grabbed her wrists disarming her in the process, putting her against the wall pinning her with my body and holding her wrists above her head. Suddenly a look of fear washed over her face and she froze.
Rouge's P.O.V
"Let me see her." I commanded for the umpteenth time. "Answer my questions." The short old man my patience I commanded stronger, "Let me see her." "Answer my questions and you can." "Let me see her." "Answer my questions."
"Damn it old man. I don't have time to explain everything and its not my choice its hers. So I repeat. Let..Me..See...Her." I said through clenched teeth. No soon had the words left my mouth there was a girly shriek of pain I felt Lucy's magical energy activate followed by a series of thumps and grunts. I felt tears pool in my eye's. I felt broken. I dropped to one knee and whispered my final plea "Please let me go in.."
I looked up into the mans eye's. I realized I had won.
Lucy's P.O.V
The memory's bubbled up and I couldn't suppress them. Here I was defenseless and terrified. But somehow I found my voice, as I sucked in a huge breath of air to scream, the boys eye's widen and he placed a callused hand over my mouth quickly.
I felt unshed tears begin to pool in my eye's I kept seeing that awful man I called father in my mind. I feel so helpless. Using telepathy I shouted for Rouge, "Rouge? Rouge? Help me please!"
I do way to many cliff hangers. Anyways. Lucy happens to have a sibling in the guild..Hehe betcha no-one can guess correctly XD
