Chapter Ten The Trap
"Lucy stop glaring at me like that. Here is the other key." Lucifer said holding his second in command's keys, Havoc and Rage.
"Give it," Lucy's distorted voice growled.
"Of course," he said.
"Lucy don't do this! You don't know what will happen. You've said you wouldn't hurt your spirits because we're your friends! If you do this not only will I be hurt but so will you and I won't be able to protect you. Please Lucy drop the key!" Damned pleaded.
"Lu-chan," Levy said as Lucy snatched the keys looking them over as she pulled the other Demon keys off her waist. She looked at all of them with a crazy glow about her.
"You know what to do. You feel the power. Just do it," Lucifer whispered to Lucy.
"No Lucy!" yelled Damned.
"Lucy stop this right now!" ordered Loki. Lucy looked at them and turned back to the stone pedestal. She placed the key she had found on the pedestal into the stone like it was a lock. The stone glowed black and there seemed to be any light in the room. She then proceeded to do the same with the other keys and as she did the demons appeared. They were then thrown back into one of the six rocks and chained down but some unseen force.
"Lucy please," Damned said as Lucy held his key. She looked at him and for a moment the light seemed to illuminate her face but it was gone as quick as it came. She then placed the key in the stone and Damned was tossed onto a rock like the other demons and chained. She then pushed all the keys down farther into the stone until the stone seemed to eat them. Then the last demon Death appeared before being thrown into a rock. He growled and snarled scaring Levy but it had no effect on Lucy she was being controlled but whatever darkness hidden within the keys.
"Yes!" Lucifer said happily. Lucy then screamed as the black mass around her dissipated. She collapsed and Loki went at Lucifer as Levy rushed to Lucy. Loki was about to punch him when Lucy's magic started disappearing. He was centimeters away when he dissipated due to a lack of magic energy to sustain himself with. Lucifer laughed cruelly as Lucy moaned in pain.
"What are you doing to her?" Levy asked getting up and preparing to fight Lucifer herself.
"I'm doing nothing. I wasn't expecting you to be here but it'll work better now. I have two of pure hearts for the sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?" Levy asked.
"Yes. Lucy's magic and her very soul will be consumed by the demon's power in order to call forth Anconglia's sister and control her. You will fuel the magic after she dies." Lucifer said.
"What? Lu-chan…"
"It will be as if neither of you ever existed."
"No!" Levy cried. Lucy woke still moaning in pain. Levy sat next to her crying. "Lu-chan…"
"Levy…" Lucy said tearing up as well. Neither one knew if they'd be able to find a way out of this mess. They were doomed and the Dragon Slayers wouldn't hear about it until it was too late. No one knew it was a trap. No one would be coming to their rescue.
"Lu-chan what can we do?" Levy asked. Lucifer stood watching full of pride in his accomplishment.
"Levy you have to get help." Lucy groaned. "It's draining me. I don't know how long I can last. You have to tell Erza. Find Natsu and Happy. I'll last as long as I can just go." Lucy said. Levy was crying holding onto Lucy.
"I won't leave you. Lu-chan…" Levy said.
"You can't help me here." Lucy tried to say. "I'm sorry about all of this. It's my fault. I wasn't strong enough to fight it. I tried and now looked at Damned," she cried. "It's my fault. I'm still not strong enough."
"No Lu-chan this isn't your fault. It's Lucifer's. He's at fault not you." Levy said. Lucy nodded before groaning in more pain. "Fine I'll go. You just hold on unto we're back." Lucy nodded as Levy started to prepare to run off but Lucifer was listening even though they were trying to be quiet. He walked over and grabbed Levy's wrist.
She screamed thrashing at him he just laughed as Lucy managed to get up despite her pain. She rushed at Lucifer knocking him down with her. He let go of Levy who stared stunned as Lucifer tossed Lucy easily off him. Lucifer came at Levy but she had already scripted iron to drop on him. Levy then turned and started running. She ran not caring where she went until she found an exit. She ended up tripping out of the doors.
It was pouring and lighting illuminated the dark sky. The wind whipped at her clothes as she ran forwards. She didn't know where she was. She had lost the map and she could barley think straight. She looked around seeing nothing she could remember in the dark.
She then slipped down a small hill towards a rushing river screaming the whole while. She fell into the river the river taking her away downstream. She lost consciousness not long after and she disappeared into the night.
