A/U: So this part is a little bit dark... Well... A lot bit dark, and short. I'm sorry for the lack of updating, I'm going to update more often. I've written out the plot and storyline, so it should be easier now. This part is definitely rated M. So if you're not at least 14-15, I wouldn't recommend reading this. Anywho... Here it is! Please leave a review with suggestions or whatevss.

"I think she'd better tell you herself... It isn't my place. Sorry, Natsu." Mira said.

"Can I go talk to her?" Natsu asked frantically.

"I think it'd be best..." Mira started. She sighed. The look on her face made me worrisome, more so than I had been all night. "...It'd be best for you to go and check on her."

I nodded gratefully and stepped up to the door. Mira stopped me and said, "Just... Don't be abrasive and don't push it."

"Thank you, Mira." I said.

I opened the door slowly and looked in to see Lucy hugging a pillow close to her body, with her head on top of it. She had been crying again, I could tell from her red, puffy eyes and her tear-stained cheeks. I knocked lightly on the door before venturing in. Lucy looked up slowly and gave a small, forced smile.

"Hey, Luce..." I said softly. I closed the door gently behind me and walked over to her bed, sitting on a chair that was next to her bed.

"Hi Natsu," Lucy whispered hoarsely. She reached over to her bedside table and grabbed her glass of water, then sipped at it a little before putting it back in its place. "I suppose you want to know what happened..."

"Of course I do... I just don't want to push you. If you aren't feeling up to talking about it right now-" I started.

"You deserve to know why I've put you and Mira through so much trouble." Lucy interrupted.

I sighed softly and nodded at her to continue, showing her I was ready to listen and comfort her if necessary.

"It started this morning, when I went to the guild to collect my mail. I took my mail and went to my house. When I got there, I saw my father's handwriting on a letter that was tied to a package. At first, I set it down on my desk, staring at it for maybe an hour, trying to bring myself to open it, but I couldn't. I made myself some tea and sat back down at my desk. I worked up the nerve to open the letter from my father and in the letter, he had said, "Dear Daughter, you are to come home on January 15th, I have important business to discuss with you. If you fail to by midnight that day, I will be forced to take desperate measures and perform actions you will most definitely not be pleased with, so I strongly advise you to proceed with my plans and heed my warning. I will not have any slip-ups this time in taking action to bring you home. The small package that arrived with this letter is for you. I expect you to have its contents with you when you make your journey back to our land. I shall see you when you arrive on January 15, assuming you wise up and take some responsibility for once in your pathetic life. Signed Jude Heartfilia." I looked to the package and opened it while I still had some adrenaline pumping through my veins from opening up the letter from my father. In the package I found a black and purple elegant ballgown with matching high heels, a small photo album that I didn't dare open, and a handwritten letter addressed to me, from my mother. I needed to clear my head so I went for a walk around Magnolia, avoiding Fairy Tail due to my lack of focus and because I didn't want to worry any of my friends."

*Flashback*

I was walking to clear my head from my father's letter and threats. I couldn't stop thinking about what might be in my mother's letter, but I was afraid of what I might find in her letter. Before I knew what was happening, I got pulled into an alleyway by some members of Naked Mummy and they held a knife to my throat, threatening me.

"If you scream or do anything to alert anyone of what is happening here, we will slit your throat with no hesitation." The first man said.

I was shaking, fearing for my life. I nodded slowly, trying not to cut myself on their blade. The man holding the knife up to my throat put the knife back into its holster-like thing. "Go watch and make sure our little... friend and I aren't to be disturbed." He hissed.

I whimpered and tried to get out of his strong grip, but it was no use. He smiled a very sinister smile and pushed that smile against my lips I resisted and tried pulling my head away, but there was nowhere to move so I bit his lip. He pulled back abruptly and slapped me.

"You had better not try that again, next time it's the knife." He said, wiping away the blood on his lip from my bite.

He slid his hand up my skirt, finding my panties. He went back to kissing me as one hand was making its way to my breasts and the other was working its way into my panties. I struggled and tried to get his hands away, but that only made him chuckle and slam his index and middle finger into me, making me cry out in pain. He smiled at my pain and licked my neck. He leaned in to my ear, nibbling on my earlobe as he kept slamming in and out of me with his fingers, "You're so tight, babe."

I winced with each movement and took a sharp breath in when he squeezed my left breast tightly. "HELP!" I screamed.

The man quickly reacted, pulling his hand out of me and grabbing his knife. He cut along my wrist, opening old scars. I gasped in pain, wishing I could just die, wishing he would kill me.

*Present*

"I... I just wanted to die.. that was one of the thoughts running through my mind..." I whispered, tears streaming down my face. I stopped telling the story after seeing the expression on Natsu's face. His aura grew darker and darker. I couldn't go into detail about what had happened. "They... They raped me... and just left me there."

Natsu had tears running down his cheeks, and he was seething in anger. "I'm going to find them. And I will kill them."

I started full on sobbing and Natsu sat on the bed next to me, pulling me into his chest. "I'm so sorry, Lucy. I will never let anyone harm you again." He lifted up my arm, which was sliced up from the attack, and he kissed every cut. "I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you, I'll always be there for you now, I am never leaving your side."
