Lucy's POV

"Oh, man. Why must this be so hard?" I asked myself while looking at the two pairs of clothes in front of me, trying to decide which one I should wear. But after a while I just gave up and picked one at random. But just when I got ready to leave a strange noise came from my bedroom. So I grabbed my keys, ready to fight whoever it could be. A dark figure could be seen, standing in front of the open window.

"Who are you?" I asked and took a few steps closer.

"What? Don't tell me you've already forgotten me Luce?" That voice. I quickly turned on the light in the room and froze.

"Natsu" Tears built up in my eyes and I ran towards him with open arms. But then the most unexpected thing happened. Just before I reached him I got hit on the cheek by his 'Fire dragon iron fist' and flew right into the wall.

"Why did you-?" I touched the spot where he hit me and looked up at him. But instead his happy grin he had a evil look on his face.

"What's the matter? Does it hurt? Like I thought, your just as weak as before. I regret taking pity on you and pairing up with you. I got hurt so many times to protect you, you know. How are you going to make up it?" He asked and my eyes widened. I was speechless.

"I-I don't know"

"You don't know? Then let me help you, let's see… I know. How about we kick you out off the team?" I felt tears starting to build up and my eyesight became blurry.

"Please, don't. I'm sorry" I begged, not the team. My guildmates is all I have left after my father died and Aquarius sacrificed herself. But he just grinned, an evil grin.

"Why not? It's not like the others will care" *Crack "No one likes you anyway" *Crack "Your only a weak, useless, burden" The picture cracked into pieces. Like broken glass, and I was surrounded by nothing but darkness.

"Oy! Wake up!" I shot straight up into a sitting position and my body was sweating like crazy. My eyes were red and my eyesight blurry after crying. Jackal sat beside me on the prison floor and he tried to talk to me. But I couldn't make out what he was saying, I heard almost nothing. The only thing I heard was my beating heart. But when my hearing slowly returned I heard that he kept asking me things like: "Are you okay?" And "What happened?". But I couldn't answer him. I was terrified after what I had just seen. So without thinking I threw my arms around him and cried against his chest.

Jackal's POV

I wonder what she dreamed about. One second she was smiling and the next crying, and when I woke her up she panicked. I looked down at her, she was still crying against my chest. She may have been my enemy but I just can't push her away when she's like this. So I put my arms around her and held her until she calmed down.

"Are you okay now?" I asked.

"Yeah" Lucy said with a shaky voice.

"It was only a nightmare, you're safe" I assured her. She nodded and looked around.

"Weren't we in the woods? And what happened to Kain?"

"Don't worry, the council's captured him. And you fell asleep on the way here" I explained.

"Did you encounter Mest on the way here?" I stiffened, remembering what happened earlier.

-Flashback-

"Why are you suddenly so obedient? Have you maybe fallen for Lucy?" I stopped dead in my tracks.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm acting like a lovesick puppy?"

"No, but you have really changed since you met Lucy. For example, before you destroyed the hole magic council without hesitation and you killed every human that came close to you. But now, you've been outside twice and haven't even tried to escape even once. On top of that you seem to have developed feelings for Lucy, you're giving her a piggyback ride right now you know?" Mest said. I didn't know what to say, it's true. I could have left but I didn't, and when I heard her scream back at the forest I rushed to her rescue without thinking.

"So what, maybe I'm just taking advantage of her before killing her and break out of this stupid prison" I said while smirking. But Mest didn't glare at me like I thought he would. Instead he looked at Lucy with sad eyes.

"I hope you're not. She trusts you. Her life broke down after Fairy Tail disbanded and when her landlady told me she had started with self abuse I asked the council to let her take the job as your guard. I hoped that she would change you for the better and finally get rid off the loneliness in her heart. But if that's how what you say your intention then let's test it out. I'll give you a choice. Keep your life as it is now and stay in prison with Lucy as your guard. Or be free, leave Fiore, and never see her again" My heart stopped. Did he seriously just ask me that? To be honest I didn't know what to choose. Why can't I just leave her? This is my chance to freedom, yet. I looked at Lucy's sleeping face that's on my shoulder. Something's telling me to stay by her side. I rested my head towards hers and looked over at Mest. Hoping he'd understand what I meant.

"So you wish to stay then?" I nodded and started heading towards my cell.

-End of flashback-

"Yeah, I did"

"What did he say" Lucy asked.

"Stuff" I told her and she started pouting.

"Oh come on, tell me"

"Nop-" Before I could finish she tackled me and sat on top off me.

"Tell me or else" She threatened, but I just flipped us over so I was on top.

"Or else what?" I teased her, but she just crossed her arms and mumbled a quiet "Whatever". I smirked and bent down my face to her ear.

"How does it feel being dominated by an evil demon? You scared?" I asked her, and put one of my hands against her hip. But she just smiled at me.

"I don't know, since you're not evil. And that's why I'm not scared, because I know you won't do anything" I smiled as well.

"You're interesting, you know?" I said before getting off her and sitting beside her instead.

"It seems like I did the right choice" I said to myself.

"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked as she sat up as well.

"Nothing you have to worry about"

"Hey! Come on, tell me!"

"Nope"

"Don't you 'Nope' me again! I wanna know!" She threw her arms around my neck and hung onto me like I would leave and never return.

"It's nothing for you to worry about" I said which made her pout again. Yeah, this is how I want life to be right now. I want to stay by her side. Lucy stopped pouting and stared at me with confusion in her eyes.

"What's wrong" I put my forehead against hers, and gave her a happy grin instead of my sadistic one.

"Nothing, just thinking" Her eyes lit up and she gave me a happy smile in return.

"If you say so" This is the start off a new life. Filled with new people, new dreams, and of course new adventures.

The end!

Just kidding! Who would end it like THAT? Anyways bye! Love you all! ;)
