We arrived later that day at Tartaros Corporation. Mard Geer held my hand as we walked inside where everyone was gathered. It was a weird feeling to come back here now, remembering my past. My eyes met Gildarts who looked rather confused. Maybe it happened sooner that he anticipated. Just looking at him made me angry, as I was holding him responsible for what were happening. People were shouting as, cheering for us. Mard held his hands above his head, wanting everyone to be quiet.

"Today we will celebrate!" I was about to step away as Mard pushed me in front of him, making everyone's eyes fall on me. "For my beloved fiancée have captured Natsu Dragneel!" I looked up at Mard surprised. What the fuck is he doing? They chanted my name as I had done something marvelous. "She gutted him and now he is our prisoner!" I looked up at Mard, giving him a furious look, before I stormed off. I walked past Gildarts who were trying to stop me in my path. He was the last person I wanted to talk to now, so I pushed him fiercely out of my way, getting people's attention.

"A man could not ask for a better gift from his fiancée, therefore the wedding will take place in 3 days!" Mard's voice got fainter for the second. "Tonight, lets drink!"

I headed for what I once called my room in this big ass hotel. With guards covering my door apparently. Confused I approached the two guys standing in front of my room.

"Excuse me?"

"Mard Geer's orders." Annoyed I pressed myself between them so I could get inside my own door. But when I saw what my roomed looked like, was not how I left it. Someone had transformed it into Mard's Geer room. My curiosity got the better of me, as I wanted to explore what he had done to it. Maybe there was stashed weapons here somewhere. The door opened and caught me of guard. A relived sigh escaped my lips as it was not Mard. I wasn't ready to face him, to fulfill my promise to him. It was Gildarts.

"Get out, you old bastard." Continuing to look for hidden compartments.

"Lucy, we need to talk."

"I have nothing to say to you." To this man who tricked me to come with him here, he made me lose my memories and I lost Natsu thanks to him. This is all his fault.

"Yes, you do." He suddenly grabbed me by the arm, with a stern look. "Why does Mard have Natsu?"

"I followed Natsu to finish my mission… to kill him. You heard what Mard said, what I did to him." Not wanting to say it out loud. "Then Fairy Tail captured me and Natsu was weak. He exploited the situation. Mard was going to kill Natsu and everybody else if I didn't become his." Holding back a sob, not wanting to think of what I am soon about to do. "Completely."

"Gildarts, what are you doing in my chambers?" I had not noticed Mard had entered the room.

"I wanted to hear it from Lucy herself, the great victory for Tartaros Corporation." Mard kept his hungry eyes at me, not interested in Gildarts.

"I want a moment with my fiancée, so please excuse us." Waving him off with his hand. Gildarts sent me a last look, before he left me with the monster. Mard approached me. My body stiffened the closer he was to me. He strokes my hair gently. A warm sensation fell down my cheek. Tears. Mard grabbed a hold of my hair, pulling me closer to his face. "What you did in front of my crew is unacceptable. You do as I say."

"Y—yes." Trying to pull my emotions together.

"Now go and wash yourself up and change into the lingering I picked out for you." With a swift motion, had Mard let me go.

I walked towards the bathroom, closing the door behind me. Undressing myself before I stepped into the shower, turning on the cold water. My body was paralyzed at the touch closing my eyes feeling the water caressing my face. The thought of Mard made me panic. He was waiting for me to get ready, so I would fulfill my promise to him. My knees were weak, giving in beneath me. With my back pressed up against the wall, tears were pushing against my eyelid. I do not want to go through with this. But if I don't, they will all die. I buried my head in my hands, letting the water from the shower drown out my cries. What are they doing to him at this moment? Will they torture him? Will he get the help that he needs? All this is my fault.

"Lucy." Mard's Stern voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "What is taking so long?" Anxious of how he will react, I move around quickly. Holding up the clothes he had requested me to wear. Suddenly I was more scared, Looking at it over and over. With a mesh bra and panty, matching to a two pieced leather harness. Putting everything on, trembling with fear. Looking in the mirror to see my own reflection. The tight harness highlighted every inch of my body. Even my nipples, with a small metal ring from the harness were holding them perfectly in place over the mesh lingering. I wiped away a few tears and breathed in heavily, to calm myself down. You can do this Lucy. You´re doing it for them. It is all an act, just use your sex appeal. With a harsh movement, opened I the door.

"Exactly how I imagined it." By Mard's comment felt I exposed and vulnerable, with the urge to cover myself up. Knowing Mard would disapprove, held I my head high. That is when it hit me. If I played my part, maybe he would tell me more about Natsu and make sure he was safe. Pressing his buttons.

"Is this what you want?" Moving over to the man before, lying comfortably at the end of the bed.

"I want you to dance for me." Turning on some slow music for me to dance to. Awkwardly I started to sway my hips to the music, watching him follow my every movement. The harness was tight and hard to move to comfortably in. When I locked eyes with Mard my heart skipped a beat. It was something about his eyes. I recalled the moment we danced together at the ball. With a lump growing bigger in my throat thinking about it. Feeling his gaze piercing trough me, had I to turn away from him. Closing my eyes while I lifted my hands above my head, as I moved down sensually. At the ball I even thought there was something intriguing about him. But now, my worst nightmare. Mard came up behind me, sliding his hands down my arms. Shivering from his touch.

"Face me." Nervously I turned around to face him. Keeping my eyes fasted to the ground. "Look at me." Humiliated I didn't want too. Harshly he grabbed my chin, bringing me up to his face. "I said, look at me."

"Yes." He was so close now.

Meeting Mard's dark intimidating gaze had I to close my eyes, to think of Natsu who had a similar color on his eyes, picturing his face. He is the one I want to be with. The only one for me. Always.

Slowly his lips were touching mine. My body stiffened and soon were trembling out of sorrow. He was biting my underlip, wanting to taste me further. Unable to move, Mard bitt even harder showing his dissatisfaction. I let out a cry of pain, pushing him away from me. Tasting the blood in my mouth.

"I hate it when you cry." Realizing my cheeks were wet. "You need to forget him, you belong to me now."

"I don't belong to anyone."

"Actually, you do. Have you forgot our agreement?" Mard unbuttoned his shirt. "If you want him to live, you need to do as I say."

"How will I know if Natsu is safe? Are you even willing to let him go after we're married?"

"You will have to wait and see." Saying it with a devilish smile. If that bastard lies to me, one day I would be able to kill him. With his strong hands, Mard grabbed me by the arm and tossed me onto the bed. Using his weight to hold me down. Struggling to free myself, held he even harder onto me. "You see, after I'm finished with you. He won't even touch you, ever again."

"Ngh!" Swiftly had Mard a firm hold around my breast. A squeal escaped my lips as he bites down on my nipple. Moving his hand down my waist, before he slide it between my thighs. Clenching my teeth while I'm holding my breath waiting for what's next.

"Excuse me, Mard!" The door slammed suddenly open, it was Gildarts.

"I'm busy, get out!" Mard snapped back at Gildarts who kept looking back and forth between us.

"It's urgent, it's Fairy Tail Industries."

"Just get someone to fix it."

"They are vandalizing the new hotel."

"What?!" Mard was quickly back on his feet, finally removing his hands from me. "I expect you to wear that when I'll be back." Rushing out of the door. I looked stunned at Gildarts. Did he know what Mard were going to do? Was he doing this for me? He gave me a weak smile before he followed Mard. He looked somehow relived to see me. I was suddenly left all alone. Was I supposed to just lie hair waiting for Mard to come back, what then? Or maybe this was my chance. To find Natsu. Mard will probably take a lot of the men with him. and most important of all, he will not be here.

I didn't waste any time to leave this prison and find my love. I grabbed a silk robe, hanging close to the bed, wrapping it around me. Phasing a few minutes back and forth, to be sure I wouldn't stumble into Mard.

When I thought the cost was clear, was I fast out the door. I stumbled slightly backwards as I bumped into the guards outside. Great, of course were them here.

"Oh, sorry, didn't see you there." Smiling widely up at him.

"You are not allowed to leave." Blocking the way for me.

"But you see, I need something." Looking at me with a stone face, not convinced at all. "I-I need to get something from the… kitchen, yes! Kitchen!"

"Then I'll ask one of the kitchen staff bring what you need."

"You see, Mard Geer want me to get a tool we can use, later when he returns." If I had the opportunity to drag him in the dirt I would. "You know something I can use on him."

"Fine, fine. Just be quick."

"Of course, thank you." Tiptoeing away from the uncomfortable man.

Tartaros Corporation have something very close to what Fairy Tail Industries has, an interrogation room if you will call it that. I have spent a lot of time there with... well, people. I have been here for two years after all. So Natsu had to be held down there, in a cell. I walked unseen towards the elevator, but on my way down stepped Kyôka in.

"What are you doing here?" Eying me up and down. She was the punisher who tortured people Tartaros had captured.

"Mard had to leave for some Fairy Tail trouble, so I wanted to get some air before we could continue were we left off." We passed the ground level and she looked at me with curious eyes. She is in love with Mard, so telling him every fucking detail were no strange territory for her. She is a bitch.

"You don't say?"

"Mind your own business." Luckily, she stopped on another floor. But Mard would figure it out why I was down here. The moment you step out of the elevator is a checkpoint. You need to get authority to get through. I just hope there is no one who works close to Mard.

"Lucy?" I cursed under my breath as Jackal stood on the other side of the fence. "Mard was right." He probably knew I would look for him down here if I got the chance.

"I just need to check up on him." Jackal stood with his arms crossed, looking at me arrogantly. The cat is out of the bag. Literally, as this dude is always wearing cat ears.

"Mard told me to let you trough." I didn't wait for him to tell me twice. "But he said there will be consequences." Walking past him, ignoring his remark. It's too late now anyways.

Walking down a corridor, covered with tainted glass. The kind you can see down at the police station. I walked past several of them, leading into different rooms. I stopped in my tracks when I saw a man covered in blood, lying on a table. I knew what Tartaros Corporation was capable of, but I had faith In Mard for keeping his promise.

Looking trough every glass, trying to find Natsu. Getting nervous for every time I saw someone else. Was he even alive? Then I saw Natsu's pink hair. He was starring into the glass, with blood dripping from his mouth and with fresh cuts on his face. Sitting in front of a table, cuffed to it. Joy overwhelmed me for a second happy he was alive, forgetting that he was badly injured. Storming in to see him. He immediately rose from his chair, pulling the chain with an angry look on his face. The moment our eyes locked, Natsu's face softened.

"What are you doing here?" Grabbing his face in my hands, kissing him passionately, forcing him to shut up. My emotions acting on their own. Seating myself on the table before him, enough for him to grab my thigh. I could taste his blood on my lips. Pulling away abruptly, afraid I might hurt him.

"I had to see if you were…", but not able to finish my sentence.

"Alive?" I only nodded to confirm what he was saying. "Don't worry about me." Still at this time he acted so confident.

"You need a doctor."

"I'll be fine." Giving me a on off Natsu's signature smirks. Acting like nothing were happening.

"You're not fine!" I felt the silk slide down my shoulder, clearly catching Natsu's attention, suddenly his eyes darkened. Grabbing a hold of the harness who were hugging my body, pulling me closer towards him.

"What are you wearing?" I had forgot for a moment what Mard had asked of me, and Natsu could clearly tell what he had wanted from me. Natsu never really liked other men to look at me like that, but him. My body froze. Natsu would never understand. All I did was for him, to save Natsu. Tightening his hold on me.

"Are you actually going trough with this?" Seeking my eyes. There was no way I could look at him now. "Answer me." His voice was stern and disapproving.

"I have no other choice." Trying to pull away from him.

"Don't go through with it. He will kill me anyway"

"No, Mard promised."

"You can't trust that murderer!" The tone of his voice suddenly rose.

"And you're not?"

"You know what I mean Lucy!" Agitated he loses his grip on me. Taking the opportunity to get away from him. Pulling at the cuffs that were holding him back, angrier now. "I would rather die then for you to be with another man. Just get out of here."

"I'm going to save you no matter what you say."

"No, Lucy!", trying to get free from the cuffs holding him. Pulling harder as the metal were scraping his skin. "Fuck!" Hearing Natsu curse as I stormed off, slamming the table with his fists.
