CHAPTER 5
Thanks to the beta reader DeyoChan to make my fanfic better.
Lucy POV
The darkness wrapped everything and I couldn't hear or feel everything.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was the same as having them closed. Since there was no ray of light I sneaked into the depths of the wet cave.
I wondered what was I doing here and what happened to me. But I didn't have the answers.
There was no any breeze in the air, and I couldn't think of nothing more than to quit that dark labyrinth.
I only felt the putrid smell of the mud and water that my bare feet stomp when I walked in search of some exit of the cavern.
"Lucy ..." I heard a deep voice babble my name. Whoever it was who called knew why I was here. I get curious and I started to follow the voice.
"This is your way ... " I started to talk until I realized that the voice was in my head. Frightened, I attempt to control the breath and the increasing beats of my heart.
"Who are you?" I thought.
"You'd have to ask yourself rather than ask me." The anonymous voice responded with a hoarse tone followed by a sinister laughter.
Okay, now I am very scared. There was no trace of the camp nor the forest or the mountains, not even a sight of Laxus. In addition to my displeasure Laxus was strong and capable to defeat whoever creature was that. However, I also can take care of me sometimes; I am not always the damsel in distress.
How I had arrived in that cave I didn't know, but I started to feel the loneliness that sometimes my past brings to my memories. I got back to feel completely alone at the mercy of events, like when I was at my house with my father. When he looks at me like I was an evil demon with Layla's Heartfilia face. Kids never wanted to play with me and I didn't have friends to trust. I still remember that day, when I brought him a birthday gift, done by myself, with the help of the chef of my house. I never had felt so sad in my entire life. My father threw my pancake to the floor and tore it. I had decorated the pancake with a kind smile; nevertheless my present became nothing more than a piece of trash. I only wanted to be taken care of and loved. I did the gift with the hope to get my father's attention. Now I thought there is nothing wrong with telling from time to time to your own daughter's words such as "I am very proud of you, Lucy" and I would have loved him to hug me or care for me. There's nothing wrong to be jealous or selfish for wanting that, right?
My former house was so big that I could get loose in the huge white walls covered in paintings and portraits. The garden was four times bigger than the whole city of Magnolia, but I didn't care about that now. The saying goes "money can't buy happiness." I see that very clear now and that is one of the reasons why I left my former house. I stop being sad and lonely when I travel over the kingdom of Fiore.
I feel loved by who I am when I joined the FairyTail guild. But happiness always tends to vanish when you less expected.
What will happen to me now again? Do I deserve the cruelty with which my father did to me? Did I do something wrong? I fear the betrayal of my friends, because I never have friends before. I didn't want to get hurt again. What is precious to me, I don't want to lose it. That was what I fear. The loneliness that are following me wherever I go.
"Your fears will guide you to the darkness..."
I started to feel bad and alone at my luck. What is happening to me? I am always the positive kind of girl. Is that creature made me feel that depressive on purpose?
This is bad. There is no one here who can help me. Neither were my friends, or the stupid and arrogant Laxus Dreyar nor my beloved spirits.
Wait a minute; I have my keys that I always carry with me. I look at my waist and I see that I wear combat clothing and I have my belt with my keys and a whip, but who changed for me into combat clothes? Virgo?
I put my fears behind my mind and stand angrily waiting in a defense position. Whoever what this subject is, I will fight against it. I picked up one of my keys, but horrified note that my magic key vanished in the air. Suddenly my early confidence in my abilities disappeared. Now I am completely alone, so much that I can feel the darkness surrounding me.
"Show yourself! I'm not afraid of you!" I yell with all the air in my lungs to de dark cave.
"No need to do that, Blondie." The voice in my mind said.
"What? Are you Laxus!?" My heart shattered at the thought he was the cause of all of this. But he is my Nakama, he won't do that to me, right?
"I'm not Laxus, but your worst nightmare."
I trembled with fear, but sighed in relief at the thought that a FairyTail Mage, even if it was that arrogant jerk wasn't the cause of that situation. Like I said I fear my Nakama betrayal. That was the last thing I want.
"I can smell the darkness and the fear in your throbbing heart... Lucy." I hear the voice in my head closer. Although the voice was in my mind, I felt that the creature was getting more near me.
Breath Lucy, you will be fine. But, when I saw what I was against with I tear apart. I will never forget that image and I fear that it will be etched in my mind for a long time.
There were no human parts in that creature. It had thick black fur that covered his whole body and he had four paws finished in sharp metallic grey claws. The creature also had a long tail with black fur, but the worst of all was his face. I could see in his sharp green eyes the call of "death". The white bloody fangs didn't help me to stop shivering. I made a few steps back to get away as much as possible from that death monster.
"What do…you want with me?" I manage to say the full sentence somehow. I hold my breath, when the black enormous wolf approached closer towards me.
"I want you celestial mage. What else would I want? Your magic is rare but powerful." The lycanthrope snickered evilly.
"You won't get my magic Monster!" I yelled in frustration.
"Not now, but soon I will do." The black wolf looked at me with his sharp green eyes and I gulped.
The wolf was one head taller than me and was huge. 'What sadistic death, I will have' I say to myself ironically. 'What will Natsu do in this situation? Of course, he will try to beat the hell off of this monster, this wolf. But I'm not as strong as my pink-haired best friend.
"You know that I can read your mind, stupid human?" The black wolf said to me.
"I don't care what you are. I'm not going to give up. I will fight."
"So...Natsu, eh? He gives you the strength to fight. Maybe I will come for him, too."
"You wouldn't dare." I hissed.
"So your weak spot is the people you care about, right?"
"Stop." I said.
The black wolf released a booming dark laugh.
"Your fears in your heart will end you to the darkness. I will leave you for now, but I will come back for you."
The wolf vanished and the cave disappears and after that moment everything turned black again.

Laxus POV
In my dream I was with my grandfather at the Fantasia parade, the place where he always promised me to take. How many years had already passed? I don't care about that right now; I hate to remember those days. Well, I actually hate a lot of things. But why these memories appeared now? TSH*.
That happened a long time ago and now I grew up and stop these stupid emotions nonsense, like always had to be. My father was right when he says that we must care only about power, because without it you're nothing.
Jeh. Later, my father introduced me that lacrima. I'm now much more powerful, grandfather. Someday I will surpass you.
I still remember what we talked about that day at the Fantasy Paradade:
Third POV
Flashback
"Jiji! Jiji!" A blond 5 year-old child shouted. "Jiji. Are you going to take part in Fantasia?" Laxus said with an ear to ear smile when he reached his grandfather.
"I promised the two of us would watch it together this year, didn't I?" Master Makarov said.
"Oh, right...!" The little Laxus jump up and down in excitement.
Laxus started to run in the street, while saying:
"Aaaaaah. I want to join FairyTail soon..." Laxus said grinning.
"Not yet, not yet" His grandfather sighed.
The two of them arrived in a crowded street where there were the floats, but Laxus could not see anything because of the crowd of people.
"I can't see!" The little blond boy complained, while he tries to jump to see what he had always wanted to.
"I can't see it, too..." His grandfather said.
Laxus gave up and he looked down, depressed, but suddenly someone grabbed him and rose to his backs. After that, Laxus was unable to see the floats. His grandfather, who had placed the little boy on his back, transformed into a giant man to allow his grandson to watch the floats.
"What…" Laxus said when he was lifted off the ground.
"¡WHOOOOA!" The little blonde boy exclaimed with fun when he could see the parade.
"How's it Laxus?" Asked Master Makarov.
"These are Mages of FairyTail! Wo-ow...!" Laxus said with his eyes shining with emotion. "This is amazing Jiji! You're the greatest master ever!"
The grandfather smiled at him and the two enjoyed the festival.
End of the flasback

Laxus POV
TSH. Damn emotions. Cursed Gramps. He only worsened things by letting weakly people to join my guild. I will have to do something when I return from the mission with the busty blonde. Cursed dream, because it could not be otherwise, right?
I'm the strongest Mage in FairyTail. I don't need the emotional things about my old man, which are getting on my nerves.
I will believe now that Fairytail is great for its busty sexy woman. Bullshit. Fairytail wizards must be known for their strength and powers. Weak Mages are unnecessary to my guild.
Cursed dream.
Suddenly the memories were distorted and I appeared in the middle of a black forest. I felt confused, but thanks to my great magical power I knew that this was not only a common dream. It resembled me the illusion magic of Mystogan, but it was not that sure.
Although I had fought many SS-class mages, I always had won those fights. Nor Mira Jane, with her Satan Soul, was able to beat me in battle mode, but the SS-Class mages were the only mages that they didn't deserve to be called weak. But now that the barmaid wasn't able to use her powers anymore, she is nothing more than a busty slut.
The bluennete bookworm, the busty newbie blonde, the drunken brunette and other members of my guild didn't deserve to be in FairyTail. However, I may let a place for sexy women only if they indulged me. However, for the moment I have only that gorgeous blonde as proof of this.
I turned back to focus on my surroundings. I was in a dead forest, because there was no way a single life in that deadly forest. Setting my jacket, which had fur around it, on my shoulders and cross my arms in front of my chest I waited for the enemy.
A creature of the shadows shows not long after I stand in a battle position, but I could only feel his voice, because the darkness prevented me to give a better look at the intruder.
"I have to admit that you have seemed to be more powerful than that young blonde Mage." The monster said in my head with a sinister laughter. His white tusks were bathed in blood, when I finally could see what I was against with.
I scowled and observe the huge black wolf that stood in front of me. I would have lied if I wasn't impressed by the intimidating creature. However, I have been in more dangerous situations than to deal with a big wolf. That was not going to be different now.
But when the wolf mentioned Blondie, I didn't know what to say. She was with me in the tent. Where the fuck is she right now? If this is a dream, there is no danger. The illusions cannot harm people, at least not physically. Her body is too perfect to get scarred.
"I don't know what you want with that busty blonde, but you're not taking her from me so easily." I answered in my mind.
"Oh? Are you her boyfriend or something? Then you are late. You can't save her."
My body got tense and I released a thunderous directed towards the black-haired monster.
I was not her boyfriend and I never would be. I am not a romantic. I hate that stupid king of stuff. What I love is to have a good quick sex without them having to worry about if the woman liked it or not. What matters to me is to satisfy my needs as a man. Women are supposed to serve men and obey them.
"You can't do anything to help her, because her fate is sealed." The huge black wolf said. After he said that, the lycanthrope vanished under a cloud of black smoke.
What the fuck he meant by that. But everything went black and I woke up in the store.
...
Third POV
It was still dark when Laxus awoke from his sleep.
The SS-class mage sat with his elbows resting on the floor of the store and tried to scratch his mind. 'Who the fuck was that thing and what does he want with Blondie? It was not a mere dream, that's for sure. I am the most powerful mage in FairyTail and I also have much experience in SS-Class missions. I have to be smart. I'm not only building of muscles.' The SS-Class thought.
Laxus turned his head and found Blondie still asleep, but there were traces of sweat in her neck and she was shivering.
"Nightmares...or she got cold at night?" He grinned mischievously.
Laxus looked outside the tent and saw that was almost dawn. He usually was an early person, so he eventually wakes up before dawn. Well, if he hadn't drunk the night before.
He looked at the sleepy gorgeous woman and he thought that she was sleeping too far from him. Then he approached his body to hers and passed one arm over her waist and the other under her ribs to hug her from behind. He put his head in the crook of her neck and inhaled her scent of strawberry with a mint of vanilla.
'She got cold in the night. Stupid busty blonde I told you that I could keep you warm' He fell sleep with a pervert smile in his lips and he almost forgot about that weird dream.
When the sun was already high, Lucy woke up. She opened her eyes and waited them to become accustomed to the soft sunlight that the fabric of the tent let in. That nightmare has scared the hell out of her and she refuses to close her eyes again.
She began to stir up when she snuggled into a hard muscled chest. She thought it was Natsu, because he usually snicked into her bed. The excuse was that her bed was fluffy and comfortable, but entering someone else's house without being invited wasn't right. She was a girl and Natsu a boy. 'What will people think when they find out about that? I will have Sorcerer Weekly over me' Lucy thought scared.
"Oi...Natsu...wake up. How... Many times I've told you about not to sneak into my bed?" Lucy said. She felt a warm arm hugging her from behind, but it was not as hot when Natsu was around her. 'Then who would be?'
Suddenly whoever was hugging her released the celestial Mage and went outside the tent.
"What the fuck" Lucy sat up with her elbows resting on the floor. Then she remembered the three month mission with the vulgar jerk lightning Mage and she noticed that was him who hugged her.
"What a perv..." He tightened her fist in fury. She stood up and called Virgo to change her clothes.
"Good morning, Hime. Did you sleep well? We sense your distress during the night." Virgo arrived from the Spirit World with Lucy's backpack.
"Good morning to you, Virgo. Don't worry, I'm fine," She sent a fake smile. "Can you change me into mountain and trekking clothes? I have a feeling that this day is going to be a long one and that Thunder Butt and me are going to walk to Shirotsume."
"Ok, Hime. Let me help you to change into those clothes." Virgo took some black mountain long trousers and a white long shirt. Then she took a grey winter jacket.
Virgo took out Lucy's pyjamas and she stood in the tent with nothing but her black lingerie underwear.
...
Laxus POV
I woke up hours later when the sunlight entered through the thin fabric of the tent I buy months ago. I look at the sleeping girl in my arms and I grinned with a perv smile.
'You see flame brain. I'm going to fuck your girl until she only screams my name' The thought of fucking her hard if there was no tomorrow made my manhood stiffened.
I snuggled my head deeper into her neck and licked a spot on her crook. 'So good...I wonder how it will feel when I entered her wet cave.' Laxus thought lustfully. Fortunately, she was still asleep.
When I feel that she was waking up I was about to release her, because I didn't want to get kicked again. But, I was too weak for seeing her reaction.
Blondie began to stir up and he snuggled unconsciously into my chest. I growled in pleasure when I felt her warm body pressed closer to my body, but I stood there unmoving and I watch what she was doing.
Laxus watched that Blondie was trying to find out where she was. He thought she was thinking, because she stopped moving and there was silence. He felt after that, his distress and he smirked evilly. 'I told you; you have to be mine' He thought. Of course, he was playing with her. He didn't want that bullshit of relationships. After he gets bored, he will drop her, but there was a thing with that girl that he wants to figure out. Her stubbornness and courage attracted him. 'It's funny how a weak girl like her could be a pain in the neck every time.'
But when she speaks those words he stops in his tracks.
"Oi...Natsu...wake up. Ho... many times I've told you not to sneak into my bed?" Blondie said.
I stood there shocked for a moment. 'WHAT THE FUCK THAT FLAMED SHIT BRAIN!' I thought in anger. 'How he dare snicks into Blondie's bed!'
I stand up with a deadly fuming mood and storm out the tent, not after putting my leopard shirt on.
Outside I punched a tree with uncontrolled anger and it exploded, because my sparks turned it into ashes.
But I feel a little hurt about her calling me Natsu. 'What has that stupid Salamander for being better than me? I'm the best!' He screamed inside him.
When I calmed myself down I spotted the tent and walk there to wake up the blonde Mage if she hadn't awake yet. 'We have to walk already to Shirotsume. If that troublesome woman haven't waken up in five minutes I'm going to zap her' He grinned with his arrogant smile, forgetting for a moment what have happened in the morning.
...
Lucy POV
Virgo takes out some mountain clothes of my backpack and I nodded at her good taste in clothes. She takes for me a pair of black long trousers and a white long winter shirt.
'That vulgar dickhead has storm out like a coward. When I see him I'm going to kick the hell out of him.' Lucy thought remembering how her morning has started.
Virgo watched her angered master and said:
"Hime, there is something that is angering you? Are these clothes not right? It's punishment time?"
"No, Virgo. The clothes are fine." Lucy said smiling.
Virgo nodded, returning my smile and helped me to take out my pajama. Then, I was wearing nothing but my black underwear.
"Oi, blondie wake up!" Someone entered brutally into the tent.
Third POV
Laxus stood there wide eyed at the gorgeous barely naked busty blonde.
Lucy turned her head and saw a very lustful Laxus Dreyar looking up and down her body. She realizes then that she was only in underwear.
"YOU JERK! TURN OUT!" Lucy covered herself with a blanket.
Laxus grunted in response, but he stormed out the tent.
The blond male had been with a lot of gorgeous women. Blondie was not different. But after he saw how her body looks like, he didn't want to let that woman escape from him.
Lucy was like a tomato when she caught Laxus looking up and down her body with a lustful look. She covered herself with a blanket Virgo gave her and shouts at the blonde Mage to turn out.
She then finished dressing up and she exits the tent with Virgo still behind her.
"Hey Virgo, can you bring me a map of this zone? So, I can find a faster way to go to Shirotsume." Virgo nodded and faded to the Spirit World.
Lucy looks at the camp, they built last night. She wanted to find that vulgar jerk and tell him a piece of her mind.
"Oi, blondie. Bring you weak-ass here and start to disassemble the camp." Laxus spat out a few steps further where Lucy was.
"You can't tell me what I have to do, jerk. And how could you enter into the tent when I was changing my clothes!?" Lucy said beyond angering.
Laxus look at her and smirked.
"How I would have known that you were changing your clothes, Blondie. It's my tent after all. Be lucky I share it with you." Laxus laughed.
Lucy sends him a murderous glare and turned to Virgo who give her a map.
"Thank you Virgo."
"I'm going now, Hime. So, you don't have to use more magic. I have already cleaned up the tent."
"Bye, Virgo." Lucy send a charming smiled at her spirit changing her gloomy mood for a happy one.
'Is she bipolar or something' Laxus thought, who was watching the busty woman talking with her spirit-maid.
"Why do you have a map, Blondie?" Laxus asked, while he was disassembling the tent.
"So we can find a way to go faster to Shirotsume. If you didn't know maps are important when you are travelling. Not because of finding a shortcut, but if we get lost a map is very helpful." Lucy said obvious.
Laxus grunted, but he finished soon disassembling the camp, while Lucy was cleaning the campfire.
Lucy grabbed some fruit that Virgo gave her that morning and she gave to Laxus his part of the breakfast.
Laxus grabbed the fruits and start eating.
"Where did you get that?" Laxus grunted.
"If you are not that hungry, you don't have to eat your breakfast." Lucy said, while grabbing a small bag for the walk to Shirotsume. The bag was equipped with some things like a small first aid kit, some medicinal pills from Porlyusica and other stuff. After eating her breakfast, she began to walk.
Laxus followed behind her in a gloomy mood. 'What the hell that woman thinks she is? If there's one who has been follow it's me, not the other way round.'
Lucy was unaware of Laxu's gloomy mood because she had other thoughts in mind.
'What's the meaning of that weird dream?' Lucy thought uneasily.
