Lucy stared at Laxus and he waited for her to do anything. His guards were up and she could sense his lightning magic bottle up inside him so she just kept quiet and stood up, dusting herself off. Laxus followed her actions and gripped on her shirt, much to Ana and Atha's distaste. The brown eyed woman held his hands and glared into his eyes.

"I asked, who the hell are you?" He sneered.

Lucy kicked his stomach and the grip on her shirt loosened, making her fall to the floor gracefully. Before Laxus could attack her, Atha held his shoulder and made the blonde pushing her off. Ana caught her lover before she could fall on her back and scolded Laxus.

"What the hell? We saved you from those Teras but you're actually trying to hurt us?"

Laxus turned to glare at the red headed woman.

"I didn't ask for your help." He spat harshly.

"Well, maybe I should've left there, killing your own grandfather." Lucy fought back.

Laxus snapped his head at her and stared at her in pure shock. His face paled remembering the hallucination, it was too horrific. He didn't understand why it had to be so... specific. Why his grandfather? Why Makarov? Why not his past girlfriends, his own father? Shoving a knife into the old man's body made him sick, he felt like puking out his own guts.

"How would you know it was my old man." He asked with an eerily low voice.

Lucy sighed and wanted to tell him she only guessed. But that's a suspicious answer, suspicious enough to make him pull down the stupid hood of hers. She decided it was finally time to face her past family but then they heard a bloodcurling scream that made all of their heads snap to their East. Lucy froze and recognised that voice immediately, Juvia.

Gritting her teeth, she quickly ran towards the scream. Laxus and her friends following her from behind. Lucy went into the forest and cursed, there was one more? How couldn't they sense it? How did this teras slipped under their nose. She found something moving on her left and ran towards it, the scent of blood growing stronger as she went closer.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at the scene before her in shock. Gajeel was lying on the ground in a pool of blood and Juvia hovering above him. Behind them, there was the man. Astreaus. It was only him as the odd one out but why was he smiling so sadistically at them? That's when Lucy realised he was manipulating Juvia as she saw the blue haired woman raising a sword made out of water above Gajeel's chest.

"JUVIA STOP!" Lucy screamed and rammed into Juvia, making them both fall far away from Gajeel's bleeding body.

Astreaus grimaced as he watched Lucy knocking Juvia out. He then looked at Gajeel in insterest. Lucy caught him looking at Gajeel,

"Don't you dare." She told him with a low threatening tone.

"What makes you think you can stop me?" Astreaus asked her.

Rustling was heard by Lucy and she looked past Astreaus, seeing Laxus, Ana and Atha finally arriving at the scene. Lucy glared at Ana and eye signaled her to Laxus and Gajeel. Ana nodded and held Laxus back, telling Atha to take Gajeel's body. Astreaus turned around to stop them but then Lucy called out to him.

"Astéri mou."

The ghost quickly snapped his head to her and looked at Lucy when she took out a dagger. He narrowed his eyes at her threateningly.

"This was your dagger that you gave to your precious Delia, right?" She smirked.

"You dare call me by that name, you wench. You dare having possession of my dagger!" He bellowed.

Lucy's smirk got bigger and she took out another dagger that made the spirit's anger grow bigger than before, the dark smoke around him tainting the air between them both. Lucy walked closer to Astreaus and stared at him bravely.

"Tell me, Astéri mou, have you missed the feeling of having this dagger stabbing your heart?"

Astreaus growled under his breath and Lucy's smirk fell, staring into his dead eyes coldly.

"Leave, we'll discuss this at our last stage."

Astreaus' figure quickly disappeared, leaving behind his black smoke as a sign he was there. Lucy suddenly felt the urge to cough so she pulled down her mask, kneeling on the floor as black smoke came out from her mouth. Her last words before blacking out were,

"Well, screw you too."

Ana let Laxus go and ran towards Lucy in panic.

"LUCY!" She screamed, terrified.

Laxus stared at two women in front of him in shock. He then recognised the blonde one in her friend's arms as Lucy Heartfillia, the celestial mage that betrayed his guild. Atha stopped attanding to Gajeel's injury for a second to look at her lover and her friend, but then continued to help the iron dagon slayer, knowing that he was in grave danger. She glanced at Juvia's body who was lying unconcious, feet away from all of them and she called out for Laxus.

"Hey spiky, go and help that girl over there. The one with the blue hair, and try to wake her up. I'm afraid she's hallucinating like you were too."

Laxus looked at Atha with doubt but then realising that she was trying to help Gajeel with his injury. He quickly walked up to Juvia and crouched down. The blue haired woman was sweating and mumbling someone's name under her breath frantically, making Laxus wonder if he was like that too when he was hallucinating killing his old man with a stab to the heart.

"Juvia, can hear me? Hey, you gotta wake up. It's all just hallucination, it's not real." He shook her and lightly slapped her for a number of times.

Juvia opened her eyes and blinked. He saw Laxus looking down at her and she groggily sat up from her lying position. Laxus held her back cautiously and looked at Juvia if she's really okay.

"Are you fully awake now?" He asked her.

Juvia was in a daze for a second and then stared at Laxus' face. Behind Laxus, just a little bit further away from them both, she saw a pool of blood. She checked her own body to see if there was any injuries but then she remembered what she had done. Tears spilled out from her eyes and Laxus flinched, wondering why she was suddenly crying.

"Juvia have hurt Gajeel. Juvia tried to kill him, Mr. Laxus." She sobbed.

Ana, who was carring Lucy in her arms heard what Juvia was sobbing about and looked at the pool of blood. She looked at Juvia in pity and told Laxus to stand up. Juvia was still crying and Ana sighed.

"Hey, stop crying. It wasn't your fault that he got hurt."

"But Juvia made Gajeel bleed!" She cried out more.

"Uh, Juvia, was it? The things you did to Gajeel wasn't fully your fault, you were manipulated by an evil spirit known as Astreaus. He... you can say he doesn't really like people like you." Ana tried to explain.

"People... People like me?"

"Yeah, people like you. Those who are from Fiore blood lineage. Astreaus wants you to hurt your own friend because he was killed by his. In short, he's a vengeful spirit that's hungry for his own selfish desires, having nobody that he loves..."

"Juvia isn't like him! Juvia swears! Juvia has someone that Juvia loves! Juvia is in love with Gray!" Juvia quickly shook her head.

"Well, that's good. Now, Juvia wants to meet Gray right?" Ana asked with a good heart.

Juvia nodded, her tears finally stopping for once. Ana let out a small smile as Juvia resembles Lucy when the blonde one used to be sad over her lost families.

"Then dry your tears and stand up. Gray might get worried if we stay here for too long."

Juvia nodded again and Ana turned around to walk out from the forest to meet up with the rest of her traitors. Laxus helped Atha carrying Gajeel but then Juvia offered to replace Atha out of guilt. Atha complied and let the rain woman help her own friend. Atha too hoped that Juvia's guilt would lessen, because she knew many people still feeling guilty for hurting their loved ones.

lllll

"Laxus!" His team yelled out when they saw their beloved member walked out from the woods.

"Gajeel! Juvia! What the hell happened to him?" Natsu stood up from sitting when he saw his fellow dragon slayer soaked in blood.

Juvia and Laxus lied Gajeel down and Wendy quickly crouched down. She saw where Gajeel's biggest injury is and wasted no time on healing him. The three male traitors were waiting anxiously for their female friends and ran to towards them when they saw the three girls arriving. Their hearts dropped when they saw Ana carrying Lucy, who seemed to be sickly pale.

"Lucy!" Loy yelled in panic.

The Fairy Tail mages snapped their heads towards the six figures and couldn't believe their eyes on what they were seeing. Lucy was limp, carried by a red haired woman who was looking concerned for the blonde beauty in her arms. Berin was checking his sister, shocked at the amount of blood she was covered in. When she told her older brother that it wasn't her blood, he let out a sigh of relief, but then turning his attention to Lucy.

"What happened to her?" Leon worriedly asked.

"She faced Astreaus and he somehow hurt her. He disappeared and she began to cough up black smoke." Ana answered, lying down her blonde friend.

"Astreaus can't hurt people. He's a ghost!" Loy raised his voice, as he looked a Lucy's complexion gettin paler and paler.

"But he can curse people! We all are here killing Teras with a mark on our bodies because of his curse! Atha, do you know anything that can undo this?" Leon frantically asked the ebony haired woman next to him.

"I can try. Here, Ana, let me hold both of her hands."

Atha gripped both of her friend's hand and began chanting something. She repeated the chant for three times, then Lucy's face returned to a lively color.

"Oh thank god." Loy dropped his head and hugged Lucy's body tightly.

He felt her stirring under him so he let her go. Lucy stirred more and more and she finally opened her eyes.

"Aloysius?" She called out.

Loy breaked out with his brightest smile yet and hugged her tightly. Lucy was surprised at first, but then returning his warm embrace.

"Idiot, you shouldn't have made us worried." Ana sighed, a tear streaming down her right cheek.

"Didn't mean to, I'm sorry." Lucy apologized and patted Loy's shoulder.

"Lucy?" A blue cat flew above her.

Lucy looked up and saw a confused looking Happy.
