Chapter 13
Lucy was trying to figure out a way to get out of the cell she was in. She couldn't call on her spirits due to the magic canceling handcuffs. I wonder if I could make him mad enough to were he will let me out of the handcuffs and try to fight me. She knew that Laxus and the others would be searching for her, and she needed to find a way to figure out where she was and try and get them a message.
"Loke! Loke, can you hear me?"
"Princess! Are you okay?"
"I'm okay for now Loke. Can you open you own gate and give Laxus a message for me? Let him know that I'm okay. I'm going to try to get out of here."
"I will give him the message. Princess, please be careful!"
"Hey Alatar! Why are you keeping me chained up? Afraid I would kick your ass if I wasn't bound?"
Alatar growled as he walked over to Lucy, and kicked her in the ribs. He heard a couple of them crunch from the force of the kick. Lucy groaned in pain, and then laughed at him.
"You must be weak if you can only beat me when I'm chained up. Even when I was tortured by others, none of them had me chained up like this." He picked his foot up and brought it down on her other side.
"Shut up! I am stronger than you could ever hope to be. I am one of the strongest mages out there." He growled.
"If that is true, then fight me, and lets see how strong you are." He laughed and kicked her in the stomach, making her cough up some blood.
"I'm not dumb, I know you would try to make a break for it as soon as you were free. I can't have that, I want my pay when I hand you over to Alastair. But I can make your stay more comfortable." He said with a grin. Before Lucy could say anything he walked away. After a few minutes he came back and he tied her legs together with a rope and then undid the chains. He dragged her out of the cell by her hair and then pulled her up until she was standing. In the middle of the room was a hook hanging from the ceiling, he dragged her too in and the handcuffs over the hook. He then went over to a lever on the wall, and raised the chain to make her dangle in the air.
"You won't get anything from Alastair if I'm harmed." Lucy said.
He laughed. "Oh, on the contrary, he said he didn't mind if you were a little broken when he got you. I just can't have sex with you."
"You are still pathetic, having to keep me tied up." She said. He snarled, walking up to her and punching her across the face. Her vision went blurry.
"I'll show you pathetic, Miss Heartfilia." He walked over to a table that he had different tools on. He grabbed a sludge hammer, and walked back over to her. Lucy's eyes widened when she seen what he was holding. He quickly swung the sledge hammer, smashing it into her right leg, shattering the bone right below the knee. She screamed.
-With the Thunder Legion-
"I think we should go to the Heartfilia konzern. Not sure if he would go there, but it's the only other place I can think of right now." Laxus said. The others nodded in agreement.
"Boss, where is the Heartfilia konzern?" Bickslow asked.
"Shit, I have no clue. But I know a group that does. Let me call them and have them meet us at our hotel." Laxus pulled out his lacrima, and called Erza.
"Laxus have you found Lucy?" Erza said when she answered the call.
"No, but I want team Natsu to meet up with the Thunder Legion in Acalypha Town, at the hotel. We have already searched the konzern of the man responsible, and he wasn't there. Next place we want to check is the Heartfilia konzern, but we don't know where it is. Your team has been there before."
"Alright we will be there in a couple hours. Then we will go search Lucy's old home." Erza said, and Laxus ended the call.
"Let's go back to the hotel and wait for team Natsu to get here." They nodded their heads and followed Laxus. Lucy you better be okay.
When they got to their hotel room, a golden flash revealed Loke. "My Princess wanted me to let you know that she is okay. She doesn't know where she is, other than some type of dungeon. She was trying to find a way to get free, but all she did was make the mage holding her mad. I am afraid he has been torturing her. She can't call us out to help, and we can't open our gates where she is due to barriers set up to just cancel celestial magic."
"How do you know she is being tortured by the asshole holding her." We can feel her pain through our connection. I'm sorry I can't be of anymore help. I will try to keep you updated on her condition. I came through of my own magic and with help from the Spirit King."
"Thank you Loke. Let her know we are coming for her. The whole guild is searching." Loke nodded as he disappeared back to the spirit world.
"I can't wait to get my hands on the guy that kidnapped her and on Alastair. They will pay for hurting my mate." He growled. He sat on the couch, waiting for team Natsu to get there so they could continue their search.
-With team Natsu-
When they reached the train station they ran into Crime Sorciere. Erza explained that they were going to meet up with Thunder Legion.
"Erza, does the Thunder Legion have a lead?" Jellal asked.
"No, but they already searched the konzern of the man responsible and he wasn't there. They want to search Lucy's family konzern."
"We will come with you. That way we can split up and search faster." Jellal said. Erza nodded and they all boarded the train.
"If Bright Eyes is there, I'll be able to hear her soul. It will also help to have three dragon slayers searching together because of our heightened senses." Erik said.
-With Lucy-
Lucy was trying her hardest not to scream, as Alatar repeatedly cut her stomach over and over. Her shirt lay in shreds on the floor. He decided that he was bored using the knife on her. He went and picked up a candlestick and lit it. He walked back over to her and held the flame of the candle to her left thigh. Lucy let out a scream as the candle burned her skin. She could feel the blisters form and pop. He held the candle to her leg until he heard the skin sizzle and she passed out from the pain.
"I guess I can give you a small break. I am no where near done with you though Lucy." He decided he should call Alastair and give him an update.
"Are you keeping my Lucy comfortable?" Alastair asked.
"Of course. You may want to make sure you have some healers on stand by when you get her. Wouldn't want her to have any scars."
"Keep the torture to a minimum! I am the one that will completely break Miss Heartfilia."
"Of course." Alatar said and ended the call. Maybe I should take the money he owes me, kill him, and keep her for myself. She is proving to be a hard one to break. He went and grabbed a bucket of cold water and threw it on Lucy waking her up. She gasped for air as best she could with how bad it hurt to breath.
"Are you ready for some more fun. We still have three days before I have to give you to Alastair. Unless I decide to kill him and keep you for myself. Hmm, or I could give you to Alastair, get my payment and let your guild take care of him, and then come back for you. Decisions, decisions." He grabbed a whip and started whipping her back, once most of her back was covered in marks and blood, he moved to the front and whipped across her stomach and breasts. He relished in her screams. Once he was bored with the whip, he decided that one broken leg was enough. He picked up the sludge hammer and smashed her left knee cap. Lucy screamed, tears streaming down her face and barely holding onto consciousness.
"Now, now it won't be any fun if you lose consciousness on me now. What can we do to make you stay awake?" Alatar grinned, and grabbed the candle holding it to her side. She screamed and tried to move away from the flame, all that did was cause more pain because of her legs. Please Laxus, find me soon. I'm trying to stay strong.
-With the Thunder Legion-
Laxus was pacing around the hotel room waiting for team Natsu. It had been almost two hours since he contacted them. Before he could open his mouth and ask why they weren't there, a knock came on the hotel room door. He quickly opened the door to see team Natsu and Crime Sorciere.
"We wan into them at the train station, and they decided to come and help us search for Lucy." Erza said.
"The more people we have to search the better. Lets get going, we need to get to the Heartfilia konzern and search it. I will get a hold of gramps on the way and get an update from his end." Everyone nodded and left to head to the konzern. On the way there, they decided to split into two groups. They would be able to cover more ground that way, and if one group found something they would contact the other team on the lacrima.
"Bright Eyes is your mate Spark Plug?" Erik asked. Everyone but the Thunder Legion looked shocked at the news. He just nodded his head and continued to follow team Natsu to the konzern. Once they got there, they split into two teams. Thunder Legion with Erik, Meredy and Midnight, and team Natsu with Jellal, Richard and Sorano. Thunder Legion went into the konzern to start the search, while team Natsu started to search the grounds.
"Erik can you hear any other souls, besides ours?" Freed asked.
"No, but I will say I can't wait until we catch the man responsible for kidnapping her. They may live but Laxus will cause them severe pain, and I can't wait to see that." He grinned.
-At Fairy Tail-
"Laxus, my boy, have you guys found anything that could lead to Lucy's were abouts?"
"No, we are still searching the konzern. Crime Sorciere is here helping us, along with team Natsu. Have you heard anything?"
"No everyone that has reported back, has come back empty. I have already contacted the magic council and they are on stand by."
"Alright Gramps, we will keep you updated." Laxus ended the call. Makarov sighed, he hoped they would find Lucy soon. Lucy, please don't lose your light.
