Lucy sat on one of the chairs in the medical room not sure what to think. Jet and Droy, two guys she had barely known were attacked because of her. And one her friends were kidnapped.

Because of her.

The worst part was that it wasn't one of those things where it would've happened anyways. No...she could've prevented this. She could've done something. If...if she had just turned back the other night.

If she had gone back to Zancrow then none of this would've happened.

"Jet, you're awake?" a little girl with blue hair named Wendy asked. Apparently she and another little boy were apart of this gang too, she was skilled in the medical section while he was skilled with fire.

Lucy pondered the fact that the bar had a medical room, but she didn't think about it too matter how hard she tried to change the subject in her head it wouldn't work. She felt so responsible.

Guilty.

"You!" the orange haired boy said pointing at Lucy. He had multiple stitches on his bare arms and quite a few cuts on his cheeks. Not to forget all the bruises that were scattered along his bare chest.

"It's your fault! They wanted you but you weren't there!" he yelled at her. Lucy looked away not sure how to respond. She wanted to apologize, but she knew it would do nothing.

Natsu, who had been standing beside her leaning against the wall, stood up properly.

"Shut the h^ll up, Jet! This isn't Lucy's fault at all!" Natsu said defending her. Lucy didn't hear a word he said. Well she heard it but she wouldn't listen to it. Natsu was only trying to make her feel better. But Lucy didn't want to be lied to.

She knew this was her fault and she was going to do something about it.

"It is! She didn't have to get involved in our lives! She didn't have to get involved in your life Natsu." Jet said still pointing at Lucy. Lucy blinked back tears.

She had done nothing but bring pain to them. She should've never replied back to Natsu that day.

At least then Levy would be safe.

Natsu opened his mouth to say something but Gajeel, who had been sitting in the corner quietly, spoke up.

"Levy would've slapped you already for blaming one of her best friends." Gajeel stated not even looking in Jet's direction. Jet stopped talking immediately though.

"And it doesn't matter anyways we're getting her back then I'm going to kill them. Each and every one of them." Gajeel said pure anger in his voice. Lucy didn't make eye contact with him when he talked. She didn't want to make eye contact with anybody. It doesn't matter if Natsu stood up for her, or if anyone else disagreed with Jet. He was still right.

"We're not killing anyone." Erza said just walking into the medical room. Gajeel didn't say anything knowing he couldn't beat Erza, but his hand was shaking uncontrollably. He was definitely mad.

"It wouldn't make us any better then them...however we will beat their asses to a crisp." Erza said threatening. Natsu smirked at her confidence. Lucy couldn't help but feel that they might get hurt because of her.

All because of her.

"Where are you going?" Natsu asked noticing that Lucy had gotten up and was currently headed towards the door.

"To get some fresh air," Lucy lied. Natsu wrapped the back of her in a hug.

"It's not your fault.." Natsu whispered sweetly into her ear. She squirmed out of his hug and left the medical room without another word.

"Damn it...I shouldn't have said those things..." Jet mumbled before lying back on the bed. He felt guilty for Lucy's 'breath of fresh air', he was just mad but that didn't excuse the way he acted.

"I'm going to keep an eye on her." Natsu stated ignoring Jet as he started to walk out of the room. Erza grabbed Natsu's shoulder stopping him from going.

"No we need someone who has a natural talent for blending in," Erza said then looked over towards the silver haired girl who had been standing there quietly "Mirajane?"

"On it," and with that she followed Lucy.

000

Lucy blinked back more tears as she walked through the streets. It had started to rain not too long ago, it felt fitting. Lucy may die today, she may live, but she knew something bad was going to happen to her. She was going to be punished for running away.

Whether that meant physically or emotionally, she didn't know. Maybe a bit of both. Zancrow liked torture.

But whatever the cost is, she'll do it. To save her friends, she'll do anything.

Lucy stared at the sign, welcoming her to the bar. Of course they would be here, it's where they always went. And obviously they would want a place that Lucy knows of so she could get there.

She could hear the squishes from her wet clothes as she raised her arm and opened the door.

Inside the bar was Zancrow, Ultear, Meredy, Rusty Rose, Azuma, and a very pale very big white guy. They were in the middle while Levy was tied up in a chair. Lucy also noticed that the bar was packed, no one seemed to care about the bloody blue haired girl tied on a chair.

No one cares...

"It's about time you showed up, though not without your friends?" Zancrow asked noticing that Lucy was alone.

"It's just me," Lucy stated and walked into the bar. Zancrow frowned.

"I was hoping it would be a bit more of a challenge but oh well." Zancrow said then wrapped his arms around Levy who was still unconscious.

"What should I do with her~?" Zancrow smirked, his hands trailing Levy's body.

"Let her go! That's why I came here!" Lucy yelled at him. Zancrow raised an eyebrow at her new found confidence. Lucy never talked back to him before, and when he met her at her house she had stabbed him. These people..were giving her confidence, confidence that he had to take away.

"I don't know, I'm not really in the mood for it anymore...maybe we should have a threesome~?" Zancrow smirked of his hands started to go underneath Levy's dress.

"No, stop! I'll, I'll do anything, just leave her alone!" Lucy said stepping forward, her wet clothes dripping water onto the water. Zancrow smirked at her and before Lucy knew it, he was in front of her grabbing her wrist.

"Anything? Would you object if I stripped you naked then let the customers here have their way with you?" Zancrow asked still smirking. Lucy looked away as a few tears escaped her eyes, noticing most of the customers were male, and happened to smile at his idea. She shook her head.

"Good but that's not what I'm going to do with you...I need something worst...something that'll make you scream for mercy." Zancrow said, his tight grip still on Lucy.

"But I don't think I can do that without hurting your friends...what about that pink haired one? Has he told you he's loved you yet?" Zancrow asked, his face getting closer to hers. Lucy didn't answer.

"He has, hasn't he? You know he's lying right? No one can ever actually love a bitch like you, only I can." Zancrow said. Lucy shook her head, disagreeing with him. She...she trusts Natsu. Natsu wouldn't lie to her about that.

But there was this little part of her mind telling her that he was right. That Natsu wouldn't love her, that he couldn't.

"That's it." A voice said, the voice was high but low at the same time. It was almost like it was growling. It also sounded too familiar.

"I can't watch you harass my friend any longer," the voice hissed and Mirajane stepped out of the shadows. Lucy stared at her wondering how long she had been there. She had also noticed that Mirajane had called Lucy friend.

Friend.

They've barely known each other and she still called Lucy that? It made her heart warm up a little bit.

Mirajane tore off her dress, it flew backwards, as Lucy watched in awe. Underneath her dress, Mirajane had long black heeled boots, black tights, and a black half top that went up to her neck, there was red lettering on the shirt where her breasts were, it said "Demon."

"Mirajane?" Lucy said looking over at the girl. Lucy had believed that Mirajane was innocent, oh so innocent. But by the look on her face, she was a demon. Just like her shirt said.

Suddenly one of the customers jumped out of their seats and attacked Mirajane. Apparently Mirajane wasn't just named the 'Demon' for looks, instantly her leg went up as the guy charged, hitting him in the groin. He fell backwards.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked, confused why a customer would attack.

"These aren't just regular customers, they're actually disciples of ours." Zancrow explained his hand still on Lucy's wrist, everyone else's eyes were on Mirajane though.

"I brought them here, expecting a fight. You see, half of the plan was to get you back but I had to do something for the others. Well Fairy Tail's been on our case lately so I figured capturing this pretty little girl here," Zancrow gestured towards Levy "would get you and your 'friends' mad so a fight would start. Apparently I was wrong."

Lucy wanted to scream at Zancrow, to hit him, to do anything. But she couldn't. Not while Levy was being held hostage.

Suddenly a piercing scream was heard. Lucy turned to the side to see a bloody guy on the ground, Mirajane's nails were full of blood now. Lucy didn't think he was dead, Mirajane had just scratched him.

Mirajane looked over at Zancrow, her face had darkened...she was scary. Extremely scary, maybe even more scary then Erza.

"I've contacted the others." Her eyes widened as the tips of her eyebrows went down, making her look even more scary, "You'll get you're war, but you don't even have a chance to win."

Oooooooooooh I'm soooooooo cruel. So uh I had another dance today and uh...I totally didn't dance with myself! I didn't! I danced with Diablo! Which is me with a fake mustache...

Someone did ask me to dance with them though, by the way he was smiling he was playing a joke. So uh that was kind of mean...he was my friend too...

Well see yeah later guys.
