A/N: As promised, here's another chapter for Shattered. It's a Lisanna centered chapter this time because for the upcoming big happenings in this story she is in a big role so it's time to bring her back. Also, this chapter happens at the same time as chapter 9.

And as always, Fairy Tail and the characters you recognize are Hiro Mashima's creations. I only own the OCs, and the storyline.

Chapter 10: Bloody Day Of The White Sadness

That day at the Capa Magic Mental Hospital was a typical day for anyone who worked there. Workers got up early and made sure that all patients were helped the best way possible. Then they would eat lunch, and continue in taking care of the patients. It was, indeed, a very calm day for a change. None of the patients were difficult when it came to their treatments or eating. That's why the unexpected events later that day would be complete surprise.

For Lisanna Strauss, however, it was a different day. It was her third anniversary in this facility today, and she couldn't forget the things she had done all those years ago. It didn't even matter if Mirajane had said how Natsu didn't hate her. Lisanna was pretty sure that he did. After all, she forced him to take that stupid potion that made him forget Lucy.

No, I shouldn't cry anymore, she thought as she got ready for another day at her job. Lisanna was a nurse in the Memory Loss Section of the hospital. She had been given this job because she refused to leave. Lisanna was afraid that the darkness would take her soul again if she did so. That's why she had negotiated with the leader of the facility and he had agreed to give her a job. Lisanna didn't really mind it. She felt better when she was able to help other patients.

Lisanna looked into the mirror. She was wearing a white nurse outfit. She took her name plate from the table and put it on. Then she turned around and walked out of her room. She had decorated it to look more cozy. Mirajane and Elfman had also brought some things to her on their monthly visits ever since Lisanna checked in to this hospital three years ago.

Alright, time for another day at this job, Lisanna thought in the corridor while she locked up her room so nobody could go in. She made sure that the door was locked and then headed towards the dining hall, where everyone ate breakfast.

After breakfast it was time to start working. As a nurse, Lisanna made sure that patients were all treated well and kindly. Some of them were more challenging at that part than others but she didn't complain. She had agreed to do this, and she definitely would. And she enjoyed this job very much. However, she did sometimes wonder why the Head Shaman didn't give her the spell that could cure her but at the same time she really didn't care about it. At least not anymore.

"When are you going to accept it, Lisanna? You want to steal that spell", said a voice inside her head so suddenly that Lisanna dropped the glass in her hand on the floor. "Be careful, my little tool of darkness. You don't want them to start suspecting you."

Lisanna closed her eyes. Dark sorceress didn't just talk to her, did she? No, definitely not. It was only imagination of hers running wild again as usual. Dark sorceress was busy destroying North Fiore. Why would she care about Lisanna anymore? She had done everything that woman had wanted her to do! They had a deal! Lisanna would be freed once dark sorceress was done with her plans... and she would also have Lucy. Lisanna still couldn't believe she had sold Lucy to darkness like that! All because of Natsu!

I really hate myself sometimes, Lisanna thought as she picked up the broken pieces of her glass.

"Hate? Why would you hate yourself when you did the right thing?" voice whispered again.

It's words were poisonous and Lisanna wasn't going to let it get to her head. Not this time! Dark sorceress laughed in her mind for a moment before it disappeared completely. Lisanna couldn't believe that after all these years that woman had the nerve to contact her like this! She was the reason Lisanna couldn't go back home yet! Lisanna had never hated anyone in her life more than this woman.

"Are you alright, Lisanna?" asked the nurse who was pushing a trolley of drinks in the living room. "You looked horrified for a moment there."

"I just thought those old voices in my head were back but it was just my imagination", Lisanna lied. It was better to stay silent of these voices because Lisanna might end up getting shut up into that one room again like every night during the first two weeks of her stay in this hospital. Back then she had given in to the darkness in her soul way too easily and started a rebellion. She was so happy she got over that. But the fact that dark sorceress knew where she was, and that she could contact Lisanna was proof that the connection between the two was still there.

"Oh, alright", other nurse said. She offered a new glass of water to white haired girl, "Be careful with this one, Lisanna."

"I will be. I'm sorry", Lisanna said and took the glass.

She then turned around and walked back to her patient who had asked for water in the first place. She offered the glass to the pale looking old woman. Nobody knew who she was. Only think they knew was that she had been in the facility for 40 years now. She was one of the oldest patients. Nobody knew her story because she was mute. After she had drank the water, she gave the glass back.

Lisanna smiled to her and turned around to leave with it but woman grasped her wrist. Lisanna turned around to look and wished she hasn't – it was the dark sorceress!

"How did you –? Let me go!" Lisanna yelled.

"Lisanna? What is this?!" yelled one of the nurses.

Then she and many others began to scream in pain and horror as the dark creatures appeared out of nowhere. Panic was imminent.

"We had a deal, woman. You take Lucy and I'll be free!" Lisanna told the dark sorceress.

"Well, I think our little deal is off now. Weren't you aware that I'm the Queen of Darkness? I won't keep my promises, Lisanna. You are still useful to me, therefore I will take you with me."

"No!" Lisanna yelled and pulled her arm out of her hand. "I will not let you take me this time!"

"But you will", dark sorceress said. "I know what your plan is. And I will let you finish your mission. You will bring Pure Light's Bless to me, or I will turn everyone in this facility into Soulless."

"What are you gonna do with it?" Lisanna asked.

"That will be revealed to everyone in a few days", dark sorceress said, smiling. "Now, go. Complete your little betrayal, my little tool of darkness."

She snapped her fingers and darkness filled Lisanna's sight.

Once the darkness was gone, Lisanna found herself standing on the main street of Capa. She was horrified when she saw many buildings being engulfed in flames. And dark creatures chasing around all humans who were outside. Lisanna felt even more scared when she saw how those dark creatures – Soulless – turned everyone into one of them by ripping their souls out of their bodies. Screams of pain were too much to bare. Lisanna felt a sting of pain in her heart because she knew the only way to stop it was to betray Shamans. She felt tears in her eyes.

I'm horrible human being, Lisanna thought as she began walking towards the library as the dark sorceress laughed silently in her head.

Once Lisanna found her way to the library, she didn't believe she was actually going to do this. When she stepped into the stony building, she found a group of people standing in the round shaped main hall where the corridors to other sections of the building began.

"You! You made her appear here again!" yelled someone – probably a security guard – and the rest of the group turned around to look at Lisanna who noticed they were getting to their defensive positions. They weren't going to let Lisanna through.

"Step aside", she told them.

"Never! We know exactly what she's after and we know you want it too! We aren't going to give it to you!" another person said, who was holding a sword and wearing a soldier uniform.

"Step aside", Lisanna repeated, while she began to get annoyed by their attitude.

Everyone outside were dying and these people were just standing there guarding Pure Light's Bless.

"I already said no!" guard said and attacked her.

Lisanna was able to block the attack – with a group of four dark Javelins?!

"Ha, there's the proof that you're that woman's minion!" guard yelled. "I will defeat you!"

"Not if I can help it", Lisanna said and teleported right behind him and sliced him in two with her sharp weapon. She felt a huge surge of power inside her – the darkness she had been trying to get rid of.

And right at that very moment, familiar feelings of hatred took over her whole being.

Just like last time.

She snapped her fingers and more Javelins appeared into the air. All she did was to wave her hand and weapons killed every last person in the hall.

Blood, screams of pain and horror filled the hall at once.

Dark sorceress smiled when she felt it. Her little tool of darkness was finally giving in to her darkness once again. Now she would soon have all the pieces of her little spell she had been preparing for for three years. She couldn't believe that it was going to happen soon. Everyone was thinking that she only wanted Reana to rise again, but it was only a small part of what she wanted – a complete, unstoppable chaos. To cause this she needed a person who had fallen to darkness, and a person who was pure light who's soul was shattered.

And even if you are able to put Lucy's soul back together, you will still be too late, dark sorceress thought as she walked through the corridors of Magic Mental Hospital.

There were blood, bodies and other destroyed equipment everywhere. Faint screams of horror and pain were heard before Soulless ripped souls out of their victims.

This is the perfect punishment for this island for refusing my invitation to rejoin my kingdom, dark sorceress thought as she heard explosions from the city. If you don't join me, you will be annihilated. I will not need you in the place where I'm going to.

"You monsters!" someone yelled. "Get out of her – Gaah!" man felt how a Soulless pulled his soul out of his body.

Dark sorceress smiled. Her army did good work at bringing chaos to this wretched land.

"Keep on turning Shamans into Soulless, my children", she said. "Spare no one but Lisanna Strauss."

"You're not going to touch my sister, you monster!" yelled a new voice. Dark sorceress looked at her opponent. It was Lisanna's older sister, Mirajane.

"What an coincidence", dark sorceress said. "I just told your sister to get me something from the library."

"I don't care what it is. I'm going to destroy you for ruining Lisanna's life!" Mirajane said, and she did look admirably angry. To dark sorceress it meant a good fight.

"Well then, Mirajane Strauss", she said. "Show me everything you got."

Lisanna sat on the floor of the hall in the library. She couldn't believe she had done this! She couldn't believe she had just cold heartedly massacred Shamans! People who had helped her to get over this darkness in her soul. And this was the way she paid back to them?! She definitely was no good person. It was now clear. It was also clear why the Head Shaman had thought that Lisanna wasn't trust worthy yet. Because she wasn't!

Will I ever be saved...? she wondered as she stood up. She knew she couldn't get out of the town anymore. Dark sorceress would call her Soulless to catch her. She had no way out of this issue. There never was.

I... I can't go back to the way I was anymore. It's pointless, she thought as she headed to the Archives where the spell she came for was located. As she walked through the long corridor, she couldn't close her ears from the explosions in the city. It was probably dark sorceress' main objective. She probably wanted to make the island unable to take action in case Fiore needed it. After all, the island wasn't really under the control of Fiore. It was a independent region of the kingdom.

She eventually reached the Archives. It was a dimly lit room with documents that were all considered to be gone in other parts of the world. There were lots and lots of shelves on the both sides of the path Lisanna took. What she was looking for was standing on a pedestal on the other end of the room. She hurried towards it in hopes that if she gave this to the dark sorceress, she might spare the rest of this city. She hurried also because the explosions were starting to get closer and closer – library building already shook from their effect pretty hard and Lisanna had no plans to get buried underneath it all. She was not going to die here!

"I'm sorry everyone, but I have to give this to her. Otherwise you will all die", Lisanna mumbled as she took little while roll of parchment from the pedestal.

"Alright, time to go back and end this betrayal", Lisanna said.

She was getting really worried of those closing explosions. It was like someone was trying to destroy the whole city to the ground no matter what the cost was. Once Lisanna reached the entrance hall, she felt so disgusted at the massacre that she had caused after losing control of herself only a half an hour ago.

She made her way outside as fast as she could. There she saw how every building nearby was either in ruins or on fire. There were more Soulless present than when she went to the library. Was there anyone alive in this city now?

"Lisanna!" yelled a voice from the sky.

Lisanna looked up and saw Wendy there.

"You need to leave, Wendy. It's not safe here for anyone!" Lisanna told her as the young dragon slayer came down with Carla.

"We are aware of this. We were in the city when this attack began", Wendy told her. "We decided to find you and leave as soon as possible. Come with me."

Lisanna backed off. "I... I can't..."

"Nobody cares about what happened anymore, Lisanna!" Wendy said. "We all forgave you a long time ago already."

"I have done something so horrible that I can't come with you and pretend that I'm a Fairy Tail mage", Lisanna said. "I cannot be saved."

"What are you talking about?" Carla asked, looking suspicious.

Damn, I forgot this Exceed can see glimpses of the future, Lisanna thought, unable to look at her.

"Whatever it is, we won't hate you for it", Wendy said. "Now, you must come with us. Mira can keep the dark sorceress busy until we are somewhere safe."

"I can't come with you, Wendy!" Lisanna said.

"You betrayed them!" Carla said, looking horrified. "You're...!"

"I'm afraid I can't let you save Lisanna just yet", said a cold voice. "Also, Fairy Tail's mages are relatably weak. Not even the Demon could destroy me."

She snapped her fingers and unconcious bodies of Mirajane appeared from a swirl of black smoke. "Now, Sky Goddess, I must ask you to leave. I will kindly let you live but I will take Lisanna with me."

"Lisanna, what have you done...?" Wendy asked.

"I'm so sorry..." Lisanna said and offered the roll of parchment to dark sorceress who smiled. Both Wendy and Carla were horrified at the sight. Lisanna knew at once why they were on the island in the first place – their mission was to get the parchment roll. What they didn't know was that the attack on Capa was Lisanna's fault.

"You betrayed Shamans, Lisanna?" Wendy asked in a small voice.

"I thought I could save them!" Lisanna tried to defend herself.

"No need to save them", dark sorceress said. "By tomorrow morning they will all be a part of my Soulless army. The age of Shamans ends tonight."

And with that she put her arm around Lisanna's shoulders and black smoke swirl covered them both.

"Lisanna!" Wendy and Carla yelled in unison.

But Lisanna was unable to do anything because darkness covered everything.

When Lisanna finally came back to conciousness, she was laying on the floor of a room that was pure white. She noticed there was nothing else in this room – except for the blonde girl on the other side, who just sat there on the floor and looked liveless. Her hair covered her face. Her clothes were dirty and looked like she had wore them for years. She really wanted to help this blonde and then escape – she then remembered what she had done in Capa and felt tears form into her eyes. She remembered that she was beyond help now. Nobody except Wendy and Carla knew what was going on, and to them Lisanna probably was a villain now!

I can't tell anyone that I messed up again, she thought and calmed down. It was time to figure out who this other prisoner was.

Lisanna got up and decided to look closer. When she reached her, she noticed the pink mark on her right hand – Fairy Tail's insignia! Lisanna kneeled on the floor. She brushed blonde's hair out of her face.

"Lucy...?"

Girl opened her eyes at once. Lisanna saw a weird golden mark on them for a second but it disappeared as soon as it had appeared so Lisanna couldn't figure out what it was.

"Do you remember me?" she asked from the blonde.

"Yes", came the answer from Lucy Heartfilia's mouth.

-.-.-.-

Dark sorceress smiled as she stood on the balcony of her flying fortress. She was able to see the flaming ruins of the Isla of Shamans in the distance. It was a great sacrifice for the spell she was going to use soon. It was time to get ready for her plan.

Soon everyone would face her wrath.

Nobody would be spared.

"The One Who Has Fallen To Darkness, The One Who Is Embraced By Pure Light, Pure Light's Bless, blood sacrifice of a entire race and a City of the Kings", dark sorceress chuckled. "This is truly a great day. Fortress, move."

The fortress began to turn around and set the course towards Crocus.

A/N: There it is. Originally I wanted to write Guild Alliance's meeting here but decided to write this first because what happens next requires Lisanna's presence. Also, Lisanna's story in this epic tale of mine begins with this chapter. She will spend most of her time fighting against the darkness that threatens to destroy her completely. However, I am not planning to kill her. I just want to write her journey from a bad guy back to the good guy.

And if you want to catch the right feeling of this chapter, listen Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness on repeat. It's from her Born To Die album. Such a beautiful song and perfect for this chapter. Lyrics may not have any connection to this chapter but it's the sad feeling this song has that helped me to write this chapter.
