There will be a torture scene at the end of the chapter. When you see the Celestial Spirit Realm the torture will be from that point on. Enjoy!!!
Hours turn to days and days to weeks as he continues to walk, following his dragon's direction. Stopping only to rest and eat: snatching at the fruits and mushrooms that he comes across. Picking up needed essentials from other travelers or from small homes at the edge of the woods.
Weeks after leaving Cobra freezes, bonfire and cinnamon hitting his senses. A loud crash comes from his right. Turning, that way, he strolls into the male shift camp site. The blue fur ball notices him first, emitting a loud yelp as he falls off his perch. The pink haired mage turns to look, eyes widening in surprise before he fully turns around.
"What are you doing here Cobra?" The mage asks his voice deeper than Cobra remembers.
"Where's Jugs?"
"Who?"
Taking a deep breath Cobra releases a small growl, his dragon shifting from foot to foot in agitation. "Lucy, where is she?"
The other mage's eyes narrow, his face shrouded in suspicion. "What do you want with her?"
"Is she with you or not Pinky?"
'Erza...'
"I left Erza with Jellal a month ago. She thought Lucy was with you."
"Damn it!" Natsu roars fists balled in anger. "Then she's with Gray or Wendy."
Huffing in annoyance Cobra turns around to head back the way his dragon was pointing him. "You really don't know anything, do you? Fucking stripper is on a mission from Erza, he even fucking ditched the water girl. Little one is the only Fairy to join Blue Pegasus." Snarling at the dumbstruck dragon slayer Cobra storms off, setting a quicker pace. 'Please don't let someone try to kidnap you before I get there.'
Natsu_
'She was left alone, how could they leave her alone?' Natsu lets out a growl grabbing his bag steam coming off his body, his dragon spitting fire. Turning to his blue companion he takes a deep breath, trying to calm down.
"Let's go Happy," his voice comes out deeper smoke slipping from his lips. "We have a friend to find."
"Yes sir!" Happy states grabbing onto Natsu's back flying up. "Which way?"
Closing his eyes he lets his dragon through, red scales appearing over his body. Pupils silted and surrounded by burning gold, he takes a deep breath.
"North," his dragon growls through his lips. Happy simply speeds off, worry painted across his face. 'We're coming Luce.'
A month prior with Lucy:
Brown eyes narrow as the two mages clash in the field, water flying. Juvia jumps back from the other water mage taking a deep breath as Cristoff grins at her. In an instant Cristoff launches himself at her, a beam of moonlight sailing at her midsection. Juvia throws herself sideways, making her body water as the light slices through. Cris pivots just as she turns to him, his fist flying into her side. She falls to the ground, chest rising and falling rapidly. Lucy strides over kneeling by Juvia's head, placing it in her lap.
"Juvia gives," Juvia rasps still attempting to gain air. Cris nods before kneeling next to her, his hands glowing as he checks her over.
"No broken bones, just bruising that will last for a while." Cris grins down at her sitting back on his heels.
"Juvia made her bones water, Juvia knew she couldn't turn into water again."
"Smart move, you'll have to teach me!" A light voice calls, they all look up. Aquamarine orbs sparkle with laughter from the face of a young woman, raven locks swaying behind her. Stopping a few feet from them she clasps her hands behind her, smiling down at them. Cris jumps up, sweeping her into a large hug.
"Xally!!" He laughs spinning her around, at her screech of laughter and slapping of her hand he places her back down. Dark blue eyes turn back to Lucy and Juvia. "This is my youngest sibling Xally."
Standing up Lucy helps Juvia up, she turns back to the siblings with a smile that quickly falls off her face. Lucy's bottom lip slightly poked out, her arms crossed.
"Even your sister is tall!" She whines, large doe eyes pinning Cris.
"Oh come on Lucy, she is 5'7". That's the shortest we come! I can't help that."
Laughter slips from the women at his pleading, a smile pulls at his lips at the sound. Willing her eyes Lucy giggles before meeting Xally's gaze.
"It's nice to finally meet you! I'm Lucy Heartfilia, this is Juvia Lockser."
Xally smiles stepping to them and placing a kiss on each of their cheeks. "Nice to meet you both!"
"Nice to meet you too!" Lucy grins stepping back. "No one mentioned you were coming into town."
"It was a surprise, I finished my finals early and decided to pop in," Xally giggles. "It seems I've missed everything though!"
"Of course you have," a deep baritone comes from behind the small huddle. Turning they find Beck striding over, piercing green eyes trained on Juvia. He stands towering behind her, fingers tracing small paths on her back. "It seems your dear brother Bixlow never told anyone outside of his group who he was related to, his guild disbanded and he got brought home. Lucy, who was part of his old guild, found her way over here with Zen."
Wide blue orbs glance at the blonde who is pouting up at the beast master. "Sounds like I may need to hear your story Lucy!" Xally laughs.
"It'll have to wait little sis, she has a training session with Bix I'm to bring her to." Vander materializes from the shadows at their feet, leaning against the short blonde.
A vicious grin crawls onto Lucy's face as she jams her elbow at Vander, he tilts his side away. "If you'll excuse us, I've got a shadow mage to catch."
With laughter trailing behind them Lucy chases after Vander who keeps stepping into the shadows. Strong arms wrap around Lucy lifting her off the ground. Her magic reacts; Taurus' symbol glows just as she throws herself forward. The person behind her flies over her head, Glowing orange eyes find smirking red and a rolled out tongue.
"You're lucky I didn't head butt you!" Lucy snaps stalking around Bix in a circle, his body weaving through the air as he watches her.
"Nothin' bout luck Lucy!" Bix back flips as her whip slashes through the air he occupied. Twisting she dodges a strike from his babies, calling out Aludra. His body towering next to her, glowing eyes following the totems flying around.
"Keep him distracted please," she whispers fingers threading through his fur. With out a beat Aludra leaps at the mage and his totems. Chasing them around the field, pouncing onto a few totems before being knocked to the ground and starting the chase again.
Honey orbs watch the group, the sound of chains clinking fills the space next to her. "Another training session Lucy?" Andromeda asks her chains sinking into the ground, "What is the goal?"
"Isn't it always the same?" Lucy laughs grinning up at the spirit. A large flash of green draws their attention, Aludra howls as he disappears back to the spirit realm.
"Call Lupus," Andromeda states her chains flying out of the ground, snagging each totem and Bix. Dragging the mage down to the ground as mist flows out from Lucy's left, as it thins out it shows Lupus standing tall next to the celestial mage.
"Lupus, can you help?" The spirit huffs before walking over to the squirming mage, glowing gold eyes stare down into red. Mist curling out from the large spirit's body, dancing around Bix's prone form. Slowly his breathing slows, eyes dropping before a loud snore comes from him. "Yes!" Lucy cheers running to the wolf throwing her arms around it's neck, fingers threading through the thick fur. Her body shaking from the deep almost purr of the wolf.
"Good job Lucy," Andromeda states her chains trailing behind her. "We should go before your reserves get too low. Draco wants to do some training with you later as well."
Bowing Andromeda disappears in a flash of light, Lupus following suit. Smiling softly Lucy sits down next to Bix lifting his head to lay in her lap. His hair had grown out from the tri-hawk he was going for before, her fingers begin playing with the ends absentmindedly. Softly humming she lets her mind wonder. So much had changed, her whole life was turned up side down and then righted again all because she had found her way out of her home country.
"If you think too hard your face will get stuck like that Cosplayer," a groggy voice states from her lap. Glowing red eyes gaze up at her. "What's going on in that head of yours?"
"Just thinking about all that's changed. Coming here, finding out about the Star Keys, getting the star keys. Finding all of you again, it's been insane."
"Good insane right?"
Her head falls back as laughter rips from her, shoulders shaking. "The best kind!"
"Awesome!" He lets his eyes close again, listening to her soft giggles. "I'm glad for it all."
"Everything?" Her voice lowers, eyes trained on his face.
"Yeah, I never would have come home. It had been so long and I couldn't find time to visit. Now I'm finally back after all those years, surrounded by family." Bright happy eyes shine up at her, "What more could I ask for?"
"Vander!" A familiar voice hollers. Turning, the shadow mage is meet by steel eyes boring into him.
"What's wrong Presca, didn't find someone to share pleasure with?" A grin stretches across his face as Presca's eyes narrow in warning.
"We've got a job from the Steel Council," his voice lowers as a group of mages run pass laughing. "I've already let your brothers know. We need to leave now."
Nodding Vander stands fluidly red eyes landing on the blonde still sitting with his brother. Grabbing a hold of Presca he pulls them into the shadows. Shinning gold locks dancing in the wind still playing in his mind.
Celestial Spirit World_
Clanging fills the air as the lion spirit steps out of a wooden door, hands filled with a bloody rag. Green eyes narrow in on the water spirit standing on the other side of the hall.
"He may still be out," Leo states casually burning the rag. "I would wash him off before trying anything else. He seems unable to hold his bladder after Lucifer visited him with Lilith."
"Hmm," Aquarius murmurs eyes trained on the door.
"Why did you wait till now?"
Burning blue meets green, a cruel smile crawling across her face. "Because now his fluids are all around him." Without another word she enters the room, lighting the torches around the room.
Black, brown and dark red cover the floor and some parts of the walls. The smell of urine saturates the air. Cold blue eyes fall onto the mage curled into a ball, his shirt laying on the floor next to him showing old and new cuts layering his skin. Reaching out she squeezes her fist, the mage's eyes fly open a silent yell leaving his mouth.
"Hello Hestor," Aquarius coos bending down to hold his wide gaze. "Please, don't get up on my account."
Her wrist jerks up, his body flying to his feet as a whimper falls from his mouth. Slowly the liquid covering him, the blood and urine, slowly slinks back up his body.
"You've made such a mess of this room," her voice curls down at the end as her other hand lifts. All of the liquid begins to crawl back to him, rising up to attach to his bare feet. His eyes widen in fear before a scream rips from his throat, his body contorting. The liquid mixes together before traveling back into his body, tears stream down his face washing some of the blood away.
"None of that," her fingers twitch. The salt water starts moving to his mouth, the screams still echoing. The sound turning to a gurgle, his body thrashes, head twisting to get away from the water. Fresh tears leak from his eyes joining the others. A wide grin spreads across her face as his pulse slowly ebbs. Just as his heart stutters she releases him, his body crumpled to the stone floor with a crack.
Approaching him she flips him over staring him down. "You'll regret having even thought of touching her by the time I'm done with you," she snarls. Turning she strides from the room. The last thing Hestor sees is long blue hair framing burning blue eyes before he passes out.

I'm so sorry that this chapter is a week late. Work has been crazy and I lost my muse for a while. I knew where I wanted the chapter to go but I couldn't reach it till today. Hopefully y'all enjoy Hestor's little scene there at the end.
Let me know what you think!! Thanks!!! :)
