When they woke up, they met up with Rufus and Yukino to get to the mission that they could've started yesterday. They had to catch a guy who had been robbing a bank. Once they found the guy who was responsible, it didn't take more than a couple minutes to get him in custody. While Rufus talked with Sting and Rogue, Yukino was trying to drag Lucy off to go shopping for the rest of the day. She looked at the boys with a face that just screamed 'save me' but the boys just smiled at her. Before they got to the door, Loki showed up and looked at her unpleased.

"Lucy, your mission is over so now you have more time to train."

"Can I meet with you later?"

"It's either come with me now or face the wrath of Tarurs and his workout."

"Do you mind if Sting and Rogue come today."

"If they start distracting you they will have to leave."

Lucy nodded then apologized to Yukino before turning to walk up to the guys.

"Sorry to interrupt, would you like to go to training with me today?"

"We would love to, I kinda wanna see myself how hard it is to jump from tree to tree." Rogue said.

They followed Lucy who followed Loki to where they where training today. The boys stopped and starred at the huge tree that didn't even have branches to help climb up till the top half. Capricorn appeared and looked at Lucy who look tired just looking at it. He gave her a nod telling her to start and so she did. She grabbed onto the tree and made it almost half way before falling down. Like always Loki caught her and set her down gently.

"Lucy, why do you hesitate when you get to the branches. The branches will help you if you allow them to. When we practice meditation you become one with your surroundings sitting down. Now I'm asking you to become one with the surroundings while touching them." Capricorn said.

"So you want me to meditate while doing this exercise?"

"It will help, but when you get to the top stop and clear your mind completely or you will fall during the jump."

"Loki you had better catch me if I fall."

"I haven't let you fall yet have I?"

She shook her head and looked over at Sting and Rogue who where smiling at her showing their support. She gripped onto the tree and began to climb making sure to feel the tree and the breeze as it flows through the leaves and branches. She finally made it to the top of the tree and looked down. She sat on the branch and began to empty her mind while still feeling the tree and breeze. She stood up and ran to the end of the branch to jump but stopped as she felt Natsu starring at her. She began to fall as she screamed for Loki. Sting and Rogue was suddenly on their feet watching her fall. She was engulfed in flames before disappearing all together.

"Natsu you bastard, give her back." Sting yelled.

"She is mine for the short time she has left. I hope you enjoyed her confession last night because that was the last time for you to enjoy yourselves."

They couldn't see or smell him, Loki looked beyond pissed and Capricorn suddenly had dissaperard. Virgo came holding her side starring at Loki.

"He wouldn't, even he isn't that low." Loki said starring at Virgo.

"What's wrong with her, why is she holding her side?" Rogue asked.

Just then Virgo screamed and collapsed on the ground doubled over in pain.

"Virgo is linked to Lucy and can feel everything that she feels. It appears Natsu has greatly injured Lucy in the side."

"We need to find her, you're the big one up there, can you tell us where she is?" Sting asked.

"I can't unless she tries to call for me, I need to pick up her presence. Sorry but I can't help you right now."

When Lucy woke up, she was chained to a wall in a big room filled with fire. She looked up to see Natsu leaning against the wall looking at her.

"Let me go Natsu, you know I'm no match for you."

"You know I can't do that till you come to me. You knew that I loved you and yet you chose two guys from a different guild that you know I can't stand."

"What happened to you, you used to be so nice and now you've turned to the dark."

"If you won't come to me willingly then I can force. They didn't mark you so there is still hope for me to claim you. You can either come to me and begin a new life or I can kill you and you will have no happiness."

"If I go to you, will you swear to leave Sting and Rogue alone?"

"You have my word that I will not harm them."

"Give me time to think, you know that I used to like you till you stopped hanging out with me because Lisana came back. But I've been confused since that night and I still don't know how I feel about you."

"Take all the time you need, I'll be back to check on you here after a while."

While she was sitting there, she couldn't think of anything but wanting to be near Sting and Rogue. She sat there for what seemed like forever while waiting to see Natsu again. She had totally forgot that she wasn't alone and tried calling for any of her spirits by name since she couldn't get to her keys. She got Cancer to come through and asked him to pick the locks on here wrist then to go get Rogue and Sting. Once her hands where free, she got up and started looking around the room for a way to escape but noticed she was stuck. When Natsu showed up, he was that she had broken loose and was looking for a way out. He wasn't sure how she got out but knew that if she got out then she would die by his hands.

"You should know by now that there is no way to get out. So have you made up your mind?"

"Yes I have, I'm sorry to say this but I will never be yours."

"We will see. Get ready to be marked then to die."
