Lucy opened her eyes slowly as light was shone on them. The blazing light from the sun shone right in her fully opened eyes making her close them again out of blinding light. Wait...when did she have window's in her apartment room?

She didn't.

That's when she felt the warm breath of someone on her neck, and an arm around her stomach. How she didn't notice that sooner? The sun distracts all. Lucy tried to turn around to see who this person was, he/she was holding her too tight though.

It felt...secure at the same time though.

She could feel that she was wearing pajama's, the fluffy ones which are the most comfortable that she has. Her back was pressed up against someones chest, because of her own shirt she couldn't tell if he/she was wearing one. She was able to figure out that he/she was a he.

She sighed thinking that it might've been Zancrow, until she remembered the previous night.

Flashback

"HE DID WHAT?" Erza yelled after Lucy had explained what had happened with Zancrow. Apparently Erza didn't listen to Zancrow's conversation and could just feel the tension in the air so she smacked him with a lead pipe.

Go figure.

"I don't really want to repeat myself.." Lucy said sitting in Erza's couch. They had drove over to her house, because she happened to have awesome strawberry cake, after the Mcdonalds incident. Lucy was surprised to hear those people cheering.

Did they not like Zancrow?

Lucy knew he wasn't the greatest guy but what has he been doing to this town?

And for some reason whatever he was doing to this town, she felt responsible. Even though she shouldn't.

"I'M GOING TO GO KILL THAT B^STARD!" Erza screamed and started to walk out the door but Gray grabbed her shoulder. She turned her head and glared daggers into his body.

"Lucy said no." Gray said quietly. He wanted to kill him too, but Lucy said no and he had to respect her wishes not matter how much it hurt him on the inside. He glanced over at Natsu who had a dark expression on his face and was sitting next to Lucy silently.

Natsu was never silent.

He was must be pissed then.

Gray had learned that much from his friend, when he was quiet he was mad. Or he was thinking but that was a rare case. Natsu never thinks, he flies straight into action. Gray has already predicted that that is how his friend will die.

Gray's an amazing friend isn't he?

"Damn it Grimoire Heart I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" Erza swore to herself. Gray knew she didn't mean it. Erza wasn't a killer, even when she's mad. Zancrow was apart of Grimoire Heart though, and he abused Lucy. Almost abused at least. It only shows the more evil Grimoire Heart can be and that's why this town was afraid of them. Afraid of their power. They didn't believe they could fight for themselves.

That's why Fairy Tail is here.

Fairy Tail is here is to show them that they don't have to be afraid, they can fight back.

They don't have to follow in Grimoire Heart's rule. They aren't kings or presidents. They were just people who enjoyed to be feared.

They were like bullies in high school. Except more extreme.

B^stards..

"Well anyways I don't think Lucy should stay at her own apartment until we get rid of these jerks." Erza stated, when she said "get rid of" she meant as in jail. Like before, she's not a killer. Even if they reallyyyy deserve it. Which these guys do.

They steal.

They murder.

They kidnap.

They cheat.

They fight.

And well they rape..

But if they killed them, it would make Fairy Tail no better then Grimoire Heart. A little lead pipe to the stomach ain't so bad though..

"I vote she stays at my place." Erza announced "It's the only logical solution, we are both girls, we are friends from school, and I am capable of protecting her if she needs it."

Lucy sat there quietly. She wanted to say she could protect herself. She wanted to so much, but she didn't want to lie at the same time. Sure she's taken self defense classes so she knew how to fight, but not against Zancrow. Even if she could, she doesn't have enough confidence to beat him if she needs too.

Lucy doesn't know much about Zancrow's status in Grimoire Heart, heck she didn't even know Grimoire Heart was a bad gang. Zancrow had lied to her so much. That's what Natsu said.

But what if Natsu is the one lying?

What if she was wrong about Zancrow?

No...Zancrow was going to rape her, Natsu wasn't.

Or would he?

Lucy had trusted Zancrow at one point in time, the same way she trusts Natsu.

Everything was so confusing.

Why couldn't anything just be simple?

"I think Luce should stay with Gray and I." Natsu countered. Lucy glanced over at him. Worried. What if he's like Zancrow? Then what?

Then she loses all hope in this world.

Then she loses everything, she's confused and doesn't even know why she's on this planet anymore.

Natsu was the only reason she was still here.

Here in this world.

She didn't know why though. She just...felt it.

"Why is that Natsu?" Erza asked a bit ticked. It was obvious she wanted Lucy to stay with her. It's not that she didn't trust Natsu and Gray but...she didn't trust. Okay it's exactly that she didn't trust Natsu and Gray. It's not that they were bad people they were just guys.

And Erza didn't know if Lucy would be okay with it.

"Because I'm not leaving Luce alone again and two protectors are better then one!" Natsu said grabbing Lucy's hand. Not in a romantic way but in a way Natsu does it. Because Natsu is so special he get's to make his own way.

"I guess it's Lucy's decision though right?" Erza asked looking over at Lucy who didn't hold Natsu's hand back nor pull it away. Lucy didn't know what to do. His hand felt warm against her cold skin so it was nice. Then again he was holding her hand because it was oblivious to what other's might think of this.

Natsu was so dense sometimes.

"I..I want to stay with Natsu." Lucy blurted out. She meant to say Erza but it came out Natsu. Lucy didn't object though which made it even more confusing, it was like her mouth had a mind of it's own.

Erza sighed heavily but nodded.

"If that's what you want Lucy but first, if you're still interested I'll bring you to Fairy Tail."

Flashback over

That night Lucy saw Cana,Levy, Juvia again. She also saw Loke who flirted with Lucy once again. Levy kept going on about a guy named Gajeel who wasn't at the bar that Erza brought Lucy to at the moment.

It was amazing. Everyone was having the time of their lives.

Not in the way Grimoire Heart does it. Everyone at Fairy Tail was just enjoying each others company.

Afterwards Lucy must've fallen asleep or something because here she was in Natsu's bed.

At least she assumed it was Natsu's bed because the person behind her kept snoring loudly and talking about fire breathing dragons in his sleep. If it wasn't Natsu it was his twin.

Who just happened to kidnap Lucy and sleep in the same bed as her.

Totally logical.

Lucy was surprised that Natsu brought her to his bed instead of the couch, until she heard him mumble a few words in his sleep.

"I'll protect you Lushii...alllwayyss."

His warm arm was around her stomach keeping her close to him. His whole body was warm really, he had a weird body temperature.

Lucy felt secure in his hold.

She felt safe.

For the first time in a few years.

She might've felt...love.

:OOOO. If you haven't guessed this may or may not be a filler chapter ;D. I'm having a bit of writers block for this but don't worry I'm okay! I'll, I'll get over it :').

I on the other hand started playing Sims 3 and made Lucy and Natsu Sims where they started out as housemates to best friends to Lucy dating Mortimer Goth to Mortimer cheating on Lucy and Natsu beating Mortimer up to Lucy and Natsu kissing to their marriage to having two children named Gajeel and Gray...

She had two boys and I had no idea what to name them.

I want her to have a girl so I can name it Nashi DX.

Anyways see yeah later to those of you who read this uselessly long authors note.
