2 Days earlier

Lucy was walking along the canal, Plue following behind her sticking out his arms to mimic how his master was helping herself balance on the ledge. "Be careful not to fall in Miss!", "I won't don't worry!" she yelled back, as usual the men on the boats were worried about her, she'd not fallen in yet and she'd seen them so often, had she not proven to them she could balance herself?!

Just as she neared the end of the wall her cocky streak failed her, she felt the air around her somehow buzz and all of a sudden she was flailing her arms around trying to regain the balance she'd been so proud of but to no avail, she could hear Plue behind her but knew he wouldn't have the strength to help her.

Just as she started swaying towards the icy water a hand grabbed her wrist and as she was pulled back to the street an arm snaked around her waist pulling her away from the water and gripping her tightly, had Natsu followed her home again? No, the chest she was being pressed to was much larger than Natsu and nowhere near as toasty as her best friend...so who was her saviour?

Lucy looked up and was soon shocked when she saw Laxus smirking down at her eyes narrow as he dipped down to whisper in her ear, "now then Blondie, I reckon as I just saved you that earns me a reward wouldn't you say?" And with that his arm that had been round her waist dropped lower and grabbed her ass.

"LAXUS! W-what do you...I iii mean what are you...whyyy...get your hands OFF OF ME!" Finally getting her words out Lucy managed to pull her wrist free from his grasp and then started trying to push Laxus off but his chest was an unmovable object even with her best attempts at pushing him he didn't budge an inch. Plue was throwing his tiny fists against Laxus' leg which got him a mild scoff from the lightning dragon and a swift kick making Plue tumble down the street and then vanish in a shimmer. "PLUE!" Lucy screamed for her spirit as he had tried to valiantly save her even with his size.

"Shhh now, no one can save you now, you can struggle all you want Blondie but you will be mine mmmmm..." Laxus had swiped one hand over Lucy's mouth to stop her screaming and leaned down to sniff her neck deeply before letting out an animalistic growl, he leaned back and used his hand round Lucy's mouth to hook his thumb under her chin and tilt her to bring her vision up to look at him, her chocolate eyes widened as theirs eyes locked. It was only then she'd noticed his eyes were filled with pure lightning, she couldn't remember his eyes being like this before, had they always sparked? Well she knew for sure they never used to be pure black, or at least she was mostly sure they hadn't been but she hadn't really spent much time with him before she reasoned so maybe they had been.

And then he broke the eye contact and started sniffing the air a grimace filling his face, "Damn, he always has to interfere. Never mind Blondie, I was going to take longer about this but it seems we don't have the time for that now. No matter, this'll be fun either way", he grinned evilly his eyes sparking more than before. Suddenly Lucy felt Laxus lift the hand that was still on her ass to lift the back of her shirt and press his palm to her back, then she felt a jolt from his hand that travelled up her spine and then her body went limp. Her feeble attempts at pushing him away completely vanished as her arms stilled against his chest, she would have dropped to the floor had it not been for the arm around her crushing her to him.

No longer needing to silence her as she couldn't scream if she wanted to Laxus moved his hand to sweep her golden locks over her shoulder leaving her neck completely exposed and then gripping the back of her head by her golden hair to keep her in place. He growled and dipped his head to the skin he'd just exposed, inhaling her sweet vanilla scent deeply before biting down hard on her shoulder. Really hard, tears started streaming down Lucy's face even without control of her body the pain from his bite had made it through to the blonde. Releasing his teeth from her neck Laxus then licked the wound each lick sending electric shocks through her body which started to regain some feeling and movement.

"I'll be back for you Blondie, you'll be begging for me to come back" he whispered against her ear, she could feel his smirk against her ear.

"NEVER! I'll never beg for you to come back Laxus, now get away from me!" This time when Lucy pushed against him Laxus let her escape knowing that soon it wouldn't matter and she would soon be willingly at his mercy. She stumbled away from him, he could tell she hadn't quite regained all feeling as she stumbled once or twice before she turned the corner away from him.

It won't be long now, we shall claim the celestial mage...yes she shall fall to our control, we shall soon have the power of the stars...
