Chapter 8 : It Hurts
At the guild Nobody's POV
It had been months since the guild saw Lucy and Lissanna, they were depressed and mad at the same time. If you were to go inside the guild you could even smell the negativity in the air. The master was furiously working in his office trying to figure out where the stellar star mage would be. it was silent on the main floor and it had been that way for a month already. A month since the two girls went missing. No one wanted to go on missions or quests heck even Gajeel was sulking in the corner. He felt as if she was her little sister like Laxus and Gray was. Gajeel swore to himself that he would make it up to the girl if she came back. If.
Laxus and Gray were sitting at a table with red eyes from the crying. They felt so useless and guilty. How could they do this to Lucy? Why didn't they trust her back then? Juvia was beside Gray trying to comfort him but you could tell that she was sad too. The rain was pouring so hard it was like a bass drum in a song. Laxus was like Juvia in a way, that was said because every now and then, the rain would be accompanied by a loud roar of thunder and lighting in the sky.
Natsu was sitting at the bar where Lucy always sat complaining about her rent being due soon. Natsu smiled with sad eyes just remembering. The dragon slayer had the small bag of cookies that he realized Lucy made for him. He did not eat them because he only ate one to realize that they were delicious and wanted to savor each and every one of them. Mirajane looked at him with worried eyes, she was disappointed in her own sister, she and her brother was so mad the first day that they went home and broke all the things they owned out of rage. She was very worried for Natsu, he hadn't been acting like himself for the past month. He did not eat and the dark circles underneath his eyes indicated that he did not sleep as well. She sighed as she walked in the kitchen to prepare some food for the entire the guild. If they weren't going to eat, they couldn't search for Lucy. Natsu let a tear roll down his face as he took a bite of the cookie.
The door to the guild opened and a figure of a girl could be seen. The entire guild all stood up and stared at the shadow expecting it to be Lucy but was disappointed as the girl walked into the guild and took off the hood to her cloak to uncover the girl that they had been wanting to kill so badly for what they have done. Lissanna.
Mirajane walked to the girl only to slap her face so hard the guild was shocked.
"Y-You, how could you? What did she ever do to you? She is missing you know and I don't even think that she has the intention of coming back!" Mirajane screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Kill me." Was all that came out of the youngest take-over mage's mouth.
Lucy was starved and beaten like the first day for the past month and looked like she was on the verge of dying. Most of her bones were broken including her spine and was getting to skinny for her clothes. It was like she was a size XXS but was wearing a XXL. The days were the same for her. She would get a piece of bread and a bowl of soup every morning, beaten with her very own whip, electrocuted, burned, stripped to nothing as she was put inside a human freezer, and stabbed and sliced with the poisonous knives that he owned. But what made Lucy heartbroken and loose hope was her keys. They were black as you couldn't feel any magical power from them. The blonde lost hope each and every day was she waited for her guild to come and get her but what happened before everything told her that there was no way that she was going to be coming out alive after this. Her body was cold everyday and the only thing that you could feel would be her bones. She looked like a skeleton with skin wrapped around it. The mage wasn't going to last long and she knew but she really just wanted to see her second family smile at her again.
It was the first day of the second month and Yuri was done with playing, he had enough fun and decided that today was going to be the last but most fun day of all. He had prepared all of the things he would need and left to go get Lucy. Yuri walked to the cellar that held Lucy and dragged her by the hair to the forest which was a two minute walk. Her legs were on fire since they were dragged through the ground, they reached a small part of the forest where there was a lot of equipment.
Lucy's POV
I felt like a weakling, how could Yuri turn into this? I was being dragged to this place as I heard him whistling. How could he? My train of thought was interrupted as Yuri threw me at a tree causing my back to bleed since it was already cracked. They next five hours of my life had never been so brutal. I was stabbed, shocked with magic and also kicked in stomach so hard that I was chocking up blood. He lifted his hand at me as a black circle appeared. It shot out a large amount of magic at her and her scream could probably be heard all the way from the city. Yuri laughed as he finished her off by stepping on her throat hard.
"I am done with you. Why don't you just die here and rot Lucy." Yuri said with venom at her name.
"Na-tsu." Was all that came out of my mouth before my world went black.
