A full punch hit came into Sting's face. His body was thrown in the air and fell on the floor, his head fatally landed on the exterior glass single door of the courtyard and crashed the glass. A lot of blood drops from his head as he slowly sits on the floor and holds his dizzy head.
"What the f—" is all that came from Sting's mouth while jerking on the pain.
"How dare you touch Lucy!" Natsu yelled and Erza came running behind him.
Lucy ran behind Natsu and she cried. Sting was surprised. He really thought that she would protect him after what happened to them earlier.
"What did you do to Lucy?" Erza had her deadly eyes on Sting.
"I didn't do anything. She's kissed me." the blonde slowly stood up and half of his face was already covered with blood.
"NO!" Lucy yelled from her cried more and held her face with both of her hand. "He forced me to kiss him." All of them were shocked, especially the innocent Sting.
"You Perv!" Natsu snarled, gritting his teeth in anger.
"I didn't!" Sting protested while wincing at the pain on his head.
Natsu threw another punch on Sting. He once again fell on the floor, but this time, his nape was plunged on the small pieces of glass that was stucked at the lower frame of the door. Blood came out of his mouth and his blood began flowing on the wound behind his neck.
"Tch… Lay still!" Erza ran beside him and tried to aid him.
Natsu stepped back while realizing what he has done due to his anger. Behind him, Lucy kept on covering her crying face with her both hands. Her comrades didn't saw a small sneaky smirk that formed on her mouth. Sting was still on shocked and not to moving. His eye sight was slightly blurring.
"Natsu! Help me lift him." the red-haired mage commanded.
The tensed dragon slayer walked towards his victim while trembling and knelt before him.
"Lucy, get my medical kit upstairs!" Erza firmly ordered her but she didn't move an inch.
She glared at her blonde friend, but noticed something different about her. She stood up slowly and hides her eyes. Natsu worriedly looked at Erza while supporting Sting's back.
"You… Where the hell is the real Lucy!?" Erza yelled.
"I-it's me Erza, what are you talking abou—?" Lucy stuttered and cut off.
"Don't play with me. You don't even know how to act like Lucy!" she furiously yelled at Lucy.
Sting just widens his eyes when he heard Erza. Natsu's mind was about to explode on what's going on. He got his emotion mixed up and so confused with everything but he stopped thinking when he heard Lucy laughed. She laughed harder when she looked at their faces' expressions.
"How did you know I'm not the bimbo blonde?" the fake Lucy crossed her arms and smirked.
"Hey! Don't talk about her like that!" Natsu growled.
"Lucy's insignia is pink, not red! Plus your acting sucks!" Erza scowled at her.
A small wicked chuckle came out from the fake blonde as she lifted up her right hand in front of her, facing the back of her hand in front of the Fairies. The red insignia changed into pink.
"I love red. Red is the color of fiery passion. I love using fresh blood to do make-up for those ugly women's corpse. The more flamboyant a woman is, the more she's as beautiful as a poisonous flower, right?" she slowly walked towards Erza.
The ambiance around them has turned into a twilight zone as she walks in slow motion. Everything was shaded with crimson red. Lucy's whole body started to warp and change while lifting a few strands of Erza's scarlet hair.
"I do love your hair." a different voice came out of the fake Lucy. "Too bad, I'm not here for you." She tosses Erza's hair away, she was taken aback on the floor. Erza was confused.
The morphing was completed. He is now a very tall dark entity with a very long dark red hair. She cannot move on his presence, neither was Natsu who was gritting in anger. The dark entity's red eyes dropped on the wounded blonde by the door, Sting caught his eyes and shocked as he recognized that it was the one who was haunting him. The black and red aura becomes stronger while the ghastly figure revealed his death scythed hovering beside him and put up a malevolent grin, showing his frightfully sharp teeth.
"Where is Lucy!?" Natsu interrupted while trembling in anger.
"Oh, it will be such a waste to destroy a pretty face." the ghastly figure ignored Natsu.
He is now showing his full dark ghastly body. He wore an opened red vest and a black high-heeled boots. The black and red that was aura is coming out from his open red vest, it was creating a small tiny screams of different voices. The background got dimmer when he touched the large scythe.
Everyone felt that something horrible will happened, especially Sting who was strained because of the glasses attached on his nape. A single tapping sound has changed the whole scene. Everything went inaudible. The tap on the wooden floor of the veranda was made by the unknown creature in front of the frightened wizards.
The glass on the top frame of the door has slid down in slow motion. Natsu and Erza shifted their gaze when they heard the cracking sound of the glasses. Sting eyes widens and tried his best to move but it was no use. Natsu wants to snatch Sting out of it but he can't move as well. The sliding broken glass meets Sting's neck and cut it cleanly. Natsu's and Erza's heart stopped while watching his head bounced back inside corridor and rolled while the blood from the head was tracking its way. The dark creature licked the corner of his mouth at the sight of the flowing blood from the headless body. He started to laugh viciously as he walks away.
"My work here is done." he stared at the Fairies behind with his malicious grin. He slowly vanished with the black and red aura around him.
Everything has started to get back into a normal cloudy morning. The hues of white snow and vintage veranda have changed back. The fairytail wizards are now free to move and can breathe freely.
Sting's head stopped rolling in front of the sleeping Celestial Wizard while sitting on her feet in the middle of the corridor. She slowly lifted her eyes and had a blurry sight of the dimmed floor. She was confused as to why she's in that place. Her sight becomes clearer and cursed that it got better. She saw her new friend's head, lying before her. She saw the expression that was left on Sting's decapitated head, he was terrified, eyes and mouth was opened wide. Tears started to flow on her flustered cheeks as she screamed at the top of her lungs. Natsu and Erza heard her and were surprised and half glad that she's back. Natsu jumped on the hole of the door and rushed to Lucy. Erza was left on Sting's body, feeling guilty that she didn't do anything. Lucy's loud cry made Natsu hugged her. It was really contagious, it made them cry as well.
This mission has gone horribly wrong. None of this was supposed to happen. Both of their guilds must know on what was happening here. They should really get out of this place. That idea went on and on inside Erza's mind. It was her fault that she brought her friends here. She chose the mission herself, but there is something bothering her more. It's something that her comrades will never think of.
