Chapter 7: The mind remembers no pain

Lucy pushed on, she kept on falling but she got back up and kept running, because otherwise in her mind if she stopped she would be lost and her friends would leave her behind. Lucy struggled to support her weight even though she weighed next to nothing, she hadn't been able too move while she was chained up so this was all new to her.

" Lucy we can take a break if you need to you don't look to good!" Gray stated. Lucy just looked past him her eyes blank, her face expressionless. Retaliate 'poofed' out of nowhere.

" I don't think it's a good idea to talk to her mind is far away she can't hear you." Retaliate said blankly.( Not even the author knows where her mind is...)

" What, how do you know that?" Gray asked

" I'm contracted to her spirits and demons alike can sense almost everything about their master so ask any of us and we would say the same thing." Retaliate said in a matter-of-fact tone.

" Well can you bring her back demon!" Gray hissed demon ( did Gray forget that he is technically half) demon like it was poison on his tongue.

" No... If I do I'm afraid she'll...what's the word...breakdown."

" Like hell I'll believe you JUST DO IT!" Gray shouted (heh Shia Le Buff)
"Fiiiiiiine... BUT when if she starts screaming its on you!" Retaliate decided

'snap' "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lucy screamed

"Told you so." Retaliate said half smugly half amused.

" L-Lucy it's ok we're here, It's me Natsu you know your partner, your best friend, please come back to me!" Natsu pleaded.

" N-Natsu where are we?" Lucy quizzed

" Somewhere in the east wood you've been traveling with us for days and it's almost nightfall." Natsu answered

"O-ok so we're near magnolia?" Lucy still a bit puzzled. I don't remember anything except running, darkness and... Pain lots of it! Thought Lucy as she inwardly sighed and knew she would have to ask the two densest idiots in the west.

" Natsu Gray why do I only remember Running the word Retaliate and Lots of pain?" Lucy asked blandly

"heh..." Natsu and Gray started to sweatdrop.

" I'll explain everything to you once we get you back to your guild, master...err...gomen I mean Lucy still getting used to having a caring master and all." ( Err does this douche not listen she doesn't remember him I would take it out but I want write his reaction)

" Erm not to be rude and all but who are you and why are you calling me master I definitely don't have a spirit like you, and what do you mean you'll explain I didn't ask you so butt out of our conversion, Gray Natsu why do we have a random stranger I mean I know you guys are weird and all but this is messed up plus he's acting like he knows me and I've never seen him in entire life, like seriously who the fuck is he?!" Lucy questioned.

" Lucy since when did you swear!" Gray exclaimed.

" Since I had amnesia and I don't know what the hell happened, I mean you guys would freak if you lost two weeks of your memory!" Lucy yelled.

" Wait you only remember two weeks...two weeks since what exactly?" Gray quizzed his eyes full anger and despair.

" Erm two weeks since Natsu asked me to...to leave the guild.

" Lucy you've been missing for a Year!" Retaliate explained.

" Again who are you?" Lucy asked more kindly this time.

( Timeskip after explanation soz I'm lazy)

Lucy hugged Retaliate.

" I'm so sorry if I had remembered you I would of never talked to you like or anyone else for that matter, But awful greetings aside I'm so glad that I have you, Devastation and Despair on my team it's great to have new friends!" Lucy said cheerfully.

" Wait...your bot bothered about the whole you be tortured by your dad and us" Retaliate asked.

" Nope my dad has always been a asshole and I only really remember the journey and him telling me not to jump off a cliff and about how he wanted to torture me bot the pain." Lucy replied.

" Wait you was going to jump off a cliff?" Natsu roared

" Well I was sad and I had just lost my family so yeah." Lucy said in a matter-of-fact tone.

" We were brainwashed by your dad!" Natsu growled. Lucy giggled the action kinda scared the guys because in no way was this a laughing matter.

After seeing their confused looks on their faces Lucy explained how seeing Natsu all pouting and sulking like a child while trying to act tough looked and was funny. This made them all laugh, and just like that it seemed like old times when they were out on a mission or when they would all spend time together and now the only person missing was Erza. Gray thought and at this he smiled a genuine smile something he hadn't done for a year.
