Author's Note: This story was written after having a particularly bad nightmare and talking with a friend about it. They suggested that I do this to help work through the nightmare and my phobias. One is lepidopterophobia or the fear of butterflies. And the other is Mottephobia or the fears of Moths. These are only two. And like any fear, there is a legit reason for it, one I do not care to share.

Author's Note 2: This chapter gets a bit more serious in places. And details some darker things and aspects without going into too much detail. (I Hope) As I am not wanting to break the ToS, have the Cultist, or communities who think it is their right to harass people and get their stuff and/or accounts deleted. But this is your warning, it gets darker and serious, hence the M Rating to begin with. (Which if you read what is here and on the FFN App are two different things and contradictory.)

She stared at Lu'arna with narrowed eyes. Her mind was working in overdrive. It had been niggling at her for the last three weeks she had been in this world. Lucy was observant, extremely so. Had to be with the crazy shit her team got up to. And she had noticed quite a bit about her jailer, or rather babysitter. While everyone was either a species of butterfly or moth, totally beautiful in their appearance, even if they thought the same about her. She noted that he seemed to always anticipate everything was she was concerned. Of course, this was a double-edged sword.

In fact, having conversations with her spirits had helped her realize that there was just something off about the man, or male as they called themselves. He didn't speak much but said so much at the same time. Al'tana often smiled when they shared a look. Seemed to communicate without words. But that had been explained off as that she'd been with him since he emerged from his first pupa chrysalis. Though Lucy's gut told her it was more, much more than that. Which was proving true as she watched his face, the way his lips twitched at the corners at her.

Slowly her mind made connections. Her fight in Tartaros with Demon King Mard Geer Tartaros himself. Letting her own smile curled her lips as she watched him lift an eyebrow at her smile. Focusing Lucy began to picture ridiculous things at first. Observing him carefully for any changes. When she pictured a few of the guards in Pink frilly tutu's pirouetting she saw a barely there crinkle at the edges of his large multi-hued eyes. Then she conjured up the image of his leader Rei'Neria being bent over having one of their long sweet fruits called Spulenia, that had plenty of spines on the skin, being shoved up the man's ass slowly and moaning from the pleasure it happened. Lu'arna burst out laughing, doubling over in his mirth.

It was the only indicator she needed. And it sorta hurt her feelings and pissed her off that this whole time he had been spying on her with mental powers. Making her feel like she was being led like an animal on a leash. Being placated for the sake of whatever reason that dipshit man-child-bug leader had demanded of him. Though she knew full well from conversations with Al'tana that there was no love between the two. And extremely bad blood to boot. Though nothing more than that was said.

"I was not spying on you," Lu'arna told her, trying to reign in his laughter.

Not sure if she wanted to believe him, Lucy put up some mental walls. But she shoved another image at him. This time Rei'neria was wearing a purple bodysuit with pink polka dots and flapping his arms and mooing. Causing Lu'arna to burst out in laughter again, toppling to the side as his eyes closed.

"I don't care. You were not honest with me. Being able to read a person's thoughts whether surface or the subconscious of the mind is still betrayal and invasion of one's privacy. If I was really a criminal Lu'arna I would be more understanding. I trust you…" she said, her voice going soft and trailing off.

This had him going still and quiet in an instant. When he sat up and looked at her, Lucy slammed up more barriers keeping him fully from her mind. This had his eyes going as wide as possible. And for his people, his eyes were the closest in nature to her own. So, it made his own face looking rather comical in nature.

"I am sorry. My gifts, I do not think about them. Besides, I am limited to what I can do," He said, his voice showing a bit of the bitterness he hid so well. "This head ornament is not just for show, it is a dampening device. And if I or anyone take it off I am in pain and they die. So, I can understand how you felt. I was betrayed when it was put on me and sealed in place."

Frowning Lucy slouched where she sat and looked at the ground. Her mind going a thousand and one miles an hour as they sorted through all that he just said. Filing it after breaking it down and placing it in order of what it deemed importance. Already in this world, she realized that it was best to pay attention to what was not being said, to what was said. Huffing as she wrinkled her nose at her train of thought, she jumped at the feel of something slender and soft touching her chin. Just to have her head lifted up.

Heat flushed her face at how close Lu'arna was to her. Causing her body to go stiff as she tried to control the way her thoughts scattered. He had this effect on her. And she knew it was not intentional. Nope, not at all. He was a pretty straightforward and honest guy. Though quite all the time, she knew had to be put in place. Sucking her bottom lip to keep from sighing, she just met his constantly shifting eyes. Letting them suck her into their depths.

"Please do not hide from me. I actually think it is fascinating how your mind works. It is like an archive. So organizing and able to jump from one topic to another, finding the connections with ease. It is proof of how smart you are, Lucy," He said to her, his voice soft and earnest with a low rumble to it.

Her mind blanked for all of ten seconds as she felt her face get hotter. The heat spreading to her ears and down her neck. This was ten kinds of not fair. A voice like that was a sin. A guilty pleasure she could only dream about. A small part of her mind said it was a dream and she'd wake up… eventually. While the rational part of her mind said this was a reality and she had to make the best of it.

"Lucy… Lucy! Hey, are you okay? Did you take ill? Your body's temperature just skyrocketed!" Lu'arna said panicking and drawing her back to the present. "Al'tana I need you. I think she is sick!"

Blinking Lucy could only blush darker and hotter at his misconceived notion. And she didn't have the balls of steel to tell him what was going on. So, as Al'tana came into the room, catching her eyes after seeing how close they were and that Lu'arna had her chin in his fingers. Lucy silently pleaded with the woman to not laugh. The knowing smile on her face was all the reassurance that Lucy needed.

Pisces and Libra stared at the blurry image of Leo. Who was running his hands through his hair and pacing agitatedly? The shared look the three spirits shared was very telling. But none of them smiled at his predicament. With the reflecting pool showing the image of what just happened on its surface. Each was well aware that Leo held Lucy in high esteem and loved her dearly. But to see her react to another guy like that and having to feel it would be even a bit much for them. Hell, they all got lucky when Yukino mated to both Sting and Rogue. It had been confused and crazy, but the two slayers both had an investment. That them sharing her was the simplest solution or try and kill each other.

"Dammit! Why… that is not… no no no no no no!" Leo muttered as he stopped and glanced back into the reflecting pool.

There is shown that another of the strange people was ushering the one who had touched his owner and set her off on a whirlwind of emotions being shouted away. While Lucy slumped. They adored Lucy. She had helped Yukino find her strength, refused them when their owner had tried to give them to Lucy. Not that they'd have minded too much. Then with Yukino had given each of them a special day to come out and have one wish granted to their abilities. It was magical. The blond Celestial mage had a huge heart. One that they knew was closed off to romance for the most part.

"Big brother, you need to calm yourself. These people, they are not from Earth Land. So, it is natural that her guard would be down. That her heart would react if something like this happened," Virgo stated.

Pisces and Libra looked at the pink haired spirit nothing, even through the haze, that she was smirking in amusement at Leo. She made no qualms about harassing their leader. Torturing him with little comments. Virgo was beyond loyal to Lucy. Even if Lucy didn't understand the need Virgo had to be punished. Each of them had their own significant quirk. Still, this was a concerning mess that had happened to Lucy. They were waiting for Draco to talk with the other outlying constellations to see if they could pinpoint where Lucy was. While Crux was working overtime to get more information from what they could glean through their link with Lucy. Still, it was odd that the Celestial King was not interfering in his favorite mages behalf.

Rei'neira listened to the report that the guard was giving him. Eyes widening and narrowing as he gave a small, hard smile. This was a good thing. If she felt betrayed that his nephew hadn't told her about his ability. That could be an in for him to cause her to distrust Lu'arna. Quickly an idea formed in his mind. One that he loved. It would be perfect. Because breaking her in a normal manner was not working. Though he was concerned that she had suddenly fallen ill.

"I want you to inform Lu'arna that he may take Lucy to the gardens and bath house. That she can wander through the servants quarters with only his servant as a watcher," he told the guard, who looked surprised for a few seconds before nodding and vanishing.

Grinning, Rei'Neira hoped that by giving her more of a leash via command. That it would give him more opportunities to watch her. Learn her. And interact with her without his nephew nearby. That way he could slowly poison her with words against him. Then be that shoulder she would turn too. All females were the same. Give them a shoulder to cry on when they were hurt and truly betrayed, they'd cling to you.

When he looked up, he saw a few of his concubines enter the room to clean. Growling low as he felt himself swell with need. A by-product of the blond haired woman. Standing up he marched over to one of his new favorites. She was shorter than normal, her pale yellow wings drawing him to her as her mottled brown and yellow hair moved against her back as she cleaned. Not pausing he grasped a fist full of that hair and frowned. It was coarse, not soft. And pushed her up against the wall.

With a few quick movements, he had her shift on the floor and was inside her. Hands traveling up and down her body. Hitting spots he knew would make her reciprocate his need. Glad to hear the soft hisses from her as her ass pushed back against him. Driving his cock deeper into her soaking folds. Smiling as he pulled back and slammed into, pressing her thin body into the wall as he let his hand come up to cup at the small mounds of her chest. Rubbing and pinching them.

HIs mind was imagining what Lucy would feel like and her responses to his expert administrations. Leaning down, he buried his face into the crook of her neck and began to thrust his hips with intent. The smell of buttercups was not the same as that ethereal smell off the blond angel that had come to this world. But for the moment, this woman in his hands was a purpose served. Grunting as her ass ground back against his pelvis harder, demanding he not be gentle. Rei'Neira grinned into her shoulder and bit down. Making the woman cry out as he felt her sex pulse around him.

Dropping his hand down he toyed with the soft flesh of her sex while slamming himself into her so hard he could hear her skin make a sickening sound against the stone of the wall. He hoped that once he got Lucy under him so he could lay her, place his mark on her as his wife and property, that she could handle him being rough. With a few more thrusts and the scent of blood, Rei'Neira pulled out and emptied his seed on the ground. Noting that he had broken her flesh on the wall.

"Clean that and get yourself taken care of," he said as he walked out of the room, fixing his loose kilt around his hips.

He looked at the messenger from his contact on the Magic Council. Eyes narrowed in displeasure at what he was hearing. There would be a blackout period while everyone in Era was being interrogated. All because he had escaped without any alarm being set off. This was not a good thing. He relied on that information. But the Mage was adept at mind-altering in not just others, but themselves. It was perfect. His trust in that person was not misfounded.

"Calder? Sir?" the boy said.

Smiling an inviting smile at the boy, he curled a finger at him. Beckoning him closer. When the lad smiled and came closer, his green eyes brightening at the honor he was getting. Calder reached out and ran his hand over the boy's head, letting it tangle into his hair. His contact knew just what he liked. Though it didn't matter if it was male or female, as long as it was old enough he could fuck it, life would be good.

"You did good, boy. Is there something you want as a reward?" he asked. Letting his secondary magic rise to the surface as he maintained eye contact.

The way the boy's pink lips parted, a low whimper escaping them. As those green eyes went wide and glazed. Only shook his head and let his pale hands fall to Calder's lap and squeeze invitingly on his knees.

"You… I want you, sire," the boy said, with a breathy trembling tone.

Smiling as he leaned in, Calder captured the boy's lips in a dominating kiss. Enjoying how those fingers curled almost painfully into his legs. Spreading them quickly, throwing the boy off balance and dropping his body into his chest. Calder broke the kiss and saw the haze of his Lust Magic take the boy over. Who was more than willing without the magic? But he watched as the boy undid his belt and ties. Long fingers pulling his already turgid flesh from his trousers. Before smiling at him and angling his head and taking him into his small, hot mouth.

Leaning back and letting his hand rest on the red locks of the boy. He enjoyed the expert way the boy licked, nipped, and sucked at him. Just to moan deeply as the boy kept his mouth working before using both, now free, hand to work the ties the rest of the way open and fondle his balls. Calder was very pleased with how well trained the youth was. With a quick guess, he figured the boy was at least fifteen to sixteen.

Rolling his hips, thrusting his dick deeper into the boy's mouth, hitting the back of his throat, Calder wanted to cackle at the fact the boy didn't even flinch or gag. Fisting his hand through the red locks, Calder lifted the boy's head. Watching as the boy went lax, peeking at him through his bangs, pleading for him to do it. Then he slammed the boy down with force, feeling as he hit the back of the boy's throat and slipping down it. Just to have the boy moan as if in ecstasy. He knew that he'd be taking a lot of pleasure for the next few hours from not just this delectable mouth, but his body as well.

Erza sat there at the bar, pushing her strawberry cheesecake around the plate. Another month had gone by. Still no update on Lucy. Or how to get her back. It was weighing her down. Jellal had checked in. What he said had given a small bit of hope and now they had to wait once more. It just wasn't fair. Lucy was alive, well from what Yukino could tell them. Her spirits were still not able to talk with Lucy's, even if they could see and hear them. This was taking a toll on not just her, but the boys as well.

Lifting her eyes from the plate, she looked out to the guild. Seeing both Natsu and Gray sitting side by side. Neither talking as they just sat. Gray looking at his hands on the table. Natsu petting Happy, who was so despondent about losing Lucy, he had not even look at Charle once. Which was scaring the white exceed greatly? There was no hiding she did like Happy, a lot. Though she denied him at every chance. A sick little game if Erza ever saw one. But then again it was the same as what Jellal did to her each time she asked him about 'them'.

"Hey, Red! Earth to red!"

At the softly whispered voice in her right ear, Erza whipped around to look at the only person in the guild who called her that. Seeing those stormy gray-blue eyes look at her with worry. Erza tried to smile and just couldn't. She was at her breaking point. Sick with worry over a friend and sister figure. Feeling her bottom lip trembled as she looked at her longtime friend, she stood up suddenly and ran. There was no way she would just break down and cry in front of the whole guild. No. Fucking. Way. In. Hell. She had a reputation as the guilds strongest to uphold.

When she finally slowed down, Erza looked around her, tears burning along the edges of her eyes. She was in the forest just outside of the town. Reaching a handout, she leaned against a tree and just let it out. This was not fair. She wanted her team and family back to the way it was. There was just not much she could do. Leaving her feeling helpless, powerless. A feeling she hated, detested. Having worked so hard to get where she was. And it hurt her even more.

Soon, strong arms wrapped around her from behind. Tensing up, she lifted her head, readying herself for a fight. Only to see Laxus staring down at her. His face clouded over as he looked at her. That worry was still there, now there was something else. Slowly she relaxed and turned in his arms. Glad he was not bear hugging her to death.

"Hey, Erza, it is alright, you can cry on me. I want to be here for you. Let me be your pillar to take strength from," he whispered to her.

Shock coursed through her. With a small nod, she rested her head against his chest and just let go. She sobbed loudly, hands coming up and grasping his purple shirt and fisting it. Letting her body shook as she spent herself. Glad that he was there for her. His face told her that he too was worried for Lucy. But as the assistant guild leader, he like Master put on a brave face and continued on. He truly was a pillar of strength and in her mind, he'd make a great guild leader when Master stepped down.
