Natsu's POV

Stay the night? I thought for a moment.

"Y-you want me to stay the night?" I stammered looking into her longing eyes.

I could see how scared she was to stay alone. I know what its like to be alone. I looked to the floor a little embarrassed.

I quickly brushed it off and lifted my head. I'm so nervous.

"Of course I'll stay." I replied.

Lucy's worried and anxious look faded and she gave me a gentle smirk.

We talked about the stupidest things, like missions and people at the guild. I could see the old Lucy coming back. I was so enlightened by her happy face, I started saying random stuff just so I could see her smile.

She started to look tired and I stopped mid sentence. Her eyes seemed to lose their spark.

I got off the bed, leaving a confused Lucy sitting there alone.

"Luce, you should probably get to bed now." I stated, her eyes falling to the floor. She looked up with an embarrassed grin.

"I guess you're right." She agreed yawning restlessly.

"I'm just going to go sleep on the couch." I informed her, grabbing a blanket off the chair near the door. She nodded and pulled the covers over her body.

"Goodnight Natsu." she sputtered, quickly looking away from me. I smiled at her cuteness and went to go blow out the candle that illuminated the room.

"Goodnight." I replied taking my place in the other room on the couch.

Lucy's POV

Where am I? I questioned myself.

The room was cold and dark. I didn't know where I was but it wasn't home with Natsu. I adjusted myself on the cold stone floor and tried to look for something to brighten the room, but all that was in here were rocks.

I could see a tiny crack of light.

A door? I quickly crawled to it. I felt around for the door handle. When I finally found it I tried to open the heavy metal door.

The door swiftly swung open. The light was abit overwhelming at first, but I soon adjusted. I looked around to see 8, no... 10 men sitting on hard wood benches.

I was taken aback. What is this place?

In an attempt to escape I quickly ran passed them as fast as I could.

Not fast enough.

Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into there lap. The grotesque man was fat and had the smell of beer embedded in his skin.

"Comme onn babby, letts play." He slurred, spitting onto my face. I pushed him away with all my might. To no avail I reached for my keys.

What?

My keys? Their gone!

I frantically reached for them but all I was grabbing was pieces of my skirt. All the men were surrounding me now. Some were ripping at my clothes, others peeking up my skirt.

I was in such restraint, I had no power. One of them had started touching me inappropriately and I tried to swat them away, but with my arms restrained there was nothing I was able to do.

I was mortified, I started to cry but there was no one there to care.

They threw me on the floor and dragged my skirt off. I didn't know what to do, I was weak, useless and afraid.

So afraid.

I screamed as loud as I could hoping someone would hear me. Anyone.

Natsu's POV

Screaming.

That's all I heard. I was groggy from just waking up.

When it dawned on me that there was screaming coming from Lucys room.

my eyes shot open.

I was awake now.

I sprinted into Lucy's room, ready for a fight. I quickly opened the door, only to find Lucy on the floor screaming her head off. I ran up to her, her face tear stained and distraught. Her eyes were squeezed shut and she had her hands around her body, holding herself.

"Luce its just a bad dream!" I shook her until her eyes burst open.

It was as if time froze. She stopped and stared into my eyes, the tears emotionlessly streaming down her face until pure sadness and fear filled her eyes. She was a little lost for a moment. She looked around and then back at me.

She burst into tears and sat up, collapsing into my chest. Her tears were dripping down my chest, but I didn't care. I held her on my chest, rubbing small circles into her back in attempt to calm her.

I finally grabbed her wrists and made her look into my eyes. The tears kept streaming down her face.

"Luce what happened?!" I shot, freaked out by this whole incident. She looked deeper into my eyes and quivered.

"I..I couldn't fight back Natsu, I w-was trapped, a-and they wouldn't let m-me go." She quivered taking small sharp breaths.

"Who wouldn't let you go? And why were you trapped?" I asked her. I was beyond confused by her outburst and continued to look into her eyes.

She gently pulled away from my grasp and got up.

I-I need to go clean myself off." She retorted unsteadily, walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.

Flabbergasted, I looked back at the door and then down at the floor.

What just happened?

Don't hate me! I know this chapter was confusing and Natsu was a bit OOC but PLEASE KNOW that I do plan to clear things up in the next chapter. Please Review!

Lucy: What?! What kind of dream was that?

willowtree102: I HAVE MY REASONS!

Lucy: Does this have anything to do with that guy?!

willowtree102: I guess you'll have to wait and find out :P

Lucy: -_-
