Sorry for the late update, I had to work today! Thankyou guys for the more reviews..SERIOUSLY YOU ARE ALL AMAZING! Hehe. (^_-)

This was quite a long chapter, I had to think long and hard about how I wanted the characters to portray their emotions because they hadn't shown them sides in the manga or anime so that is how I thought they might react! ^-^

Now that this has happened I can finally move on to my Sticy moments..I really wanted the first chapters out of the way so I could start on the moments, but I told myself not to rush to much!

PLEASE FAVE, REVIEW OR FOLLOW! XD IT IS SUPER APPRECIATED!

There was a trail of melted brick path; smouldering with heat from the extent of the fire. A deep curve had been ridden into the ground, causing a disturbance to all the other laden bricks. The mixture of anger and hatred had protruded into a physical form around Sting, his flames being explosively strong; the reasons for taking Lector from his side…. was for that Blonde trash!

He couldn't believe that Jiemma had taken him to that level, to that extent of distrust, but why was it that Sting was still furiously walking towards the Blonde's cell.

He faltered for a moment, thinking of what he was doing, but it was quickly overcome by his surfacing emotions. It didn't matter WHY he was travelling there, it didn't matter where he went, or maybe it did? Sting didn't know anymore. The face that Lector was showing when he was locked away and the dedicated eyes that the Blonde had presented him… it all swirled around his thoughts. He had no reason to care for the Blonde, he held no sympathy for her, nothing but a slight admiration or gratitude. That was all. Sting kept telling himself that as he paced down the street, still emitting his white flames from his body.

It wasn't like him to be wavered, he was so confident of himself but when the walls around him collapsed he was overturned and vulnerable; not weak and cracked but surely different. He couldn't clearly remember what had happened after the Guild Masters last words, he had been consumed by anger and walked out of the room, OUT OF THE INN and before he knew his surroundings he was walking down the streets leaving his trailing ashen mark behind him.

He could even sense that he had taken the longest route possible to get to that damned house, but it didn't matter to him only that he arrived there.

"I CAN'T GET HER SMELL!"

Natsu lifted his head, breathing his flaming red fire from his mouth; he was obviously distressed from the turn of events that happened that morning.

"Natsu…. If you don't find her…" Erza had transformed into her Heaven's Wheel Armour, turning her head she glared at Natsu who was feebly trying to catch onto Lucy's scent.

"GRAHHH! Why CAN'T I GET IT!" The block headed dragon slayer didn't have the patience to calmly think over what could over happened to mask over their fellow teammates smell, but nor did he have the time.

The foe they were currently battling left near no time for rest, it was an unending battle. Another rippling amount of debris was thrown at Natsu and Erza, the collection of pieces dispersing and falling in numerous directions. Erza who had her Heaven's Wheel Armour on called for her swords that could slice through the material. Grabbing the swords through the air, Erza split the first piece of sharpened wood that came her way, splitting it evenly in half. More came her way, hundreds more, and she was able to deflect them all. Drawing her swords facedown towards the earth Erza's eyes pierced at Minerva.

Sabertooth had planned a random attack on the Fairy Tail A Team, with almost no time to prepare. If it wasn't for Erza's quick reactions from when they first attacked; Natsu's leg would have already been severed off his body. It seemed that Sabertooth, the ones that Fairy Tail suspected of having Lucy, were now after them, that is what Erza concluded.

There were a few things off though; their attack had been too straightforward, the Sabertooth fiends, Minerva and Rufus, had only attacked once Fairy Tail had left the safety of their Inn, there were no cunning schemes to their actions, but they clearly split everyone into two groups, Natsu and Erza, Gray and Wendy.

Erza admitted that due to them all having their guard down, it wasn't that difficult to split them all, but the magic caster used all of his power to do so. It had been the Maker Magic User Rufus; at the time Gray noticed his magic straight away, his eyes immediately found the enemy and directed his attacks at him, when Wendy, followed. The other two of the Fairy Tail group ran in the opposite direction and were currently battling with the menacing Minerva who had ruthlessly beaten Lucy until she could no longer move.

It had been three long days since Lucy had disappeared, at first there was no concern but that slowly grew smaller as time went on, and as their foes closed in. It wasn't illegal in the Grand Magic Games to attack one and other for personal reasons only if proven otherwise but they had no evidence against it. There was nothing of Lucy to track from; she had completely disappeared.

"What is it you want?"

Erza's words forming very slowly giving a more threatening affect.

"Oh? If I was to tell you the reasons behind my actions, there would be no point to this whole situation."

Minerva smiled at Erza, showing nothing more than calm. She had beforehand sent the pieces of debris their way with her sort of transporting magic power, it was still unclear the extents of what Minerva could achieve.

"Oh but I don't mind telling you, the last time I saw that weak Blonde Fairy was at the Battle Arena when I heard her screams echo throughout the stadium."

At her words that vibrated through both Erza's and Natsu's minds, there was a hard heartened reaction. In nothing less than a second Natsu had risen from his position and swept to Minerva, his hand already engulfed in flames positioned at her face.

"DON'T SPEAK OF LU- ARG"

Minerva hadn't even flinched, when Natsu's hand was just centimetres from her face she had only clicked her fingers for Natsu to disappear. Reappearing a few metres away and punching the air. There was a moment of confusion, looking around Natsu couldn't comprehend that he had just been teleported.

"Ahh..THERE YOU ARE!"

Running back fowards, Natsu screamed out with fury reaching his hand further to Minerva's face, but yet again with just the click of her fingers Natsu was teleported….This went on for quite some time seeing as Natsu never gives in, it was quite a naive act but that didn't stop him. What did though was the sudden retreat of Minerva; she teleported back onto a nearby building from their current location and looked at them from above.

"It seems our plan has succeeded for today. I will see you, at the Grand Magic Games."

Turning around Minerva teleported away; Natsu's anger had risen and his eyes had turned into mere slits

"GIVE LUCY BACKK!"

Lucy was jerked wide awake by the sound of the sudden opening of a door, her head snapped up immediately and her eyes opened. Looking around she couldn't see anything at first but after a second her eyes adjusted. She was looking right into one of her foes faces, Sting. His eyes looked straight into hers; she wasn't used to the closeness.

"HYAIIIIIIII. Ge-get a-away."

She felt a soft blush appear on her cheeks and in reaction she started kicking, much like when someone invaded her personal space or invaded her privacy. However, Sting did not withdraw, he didn't even seem phased. His brow was deep and looked to be in deep thought; he hadn't moved his eyes from hers.

Looking closely Lucy noticed his eyes were of a light shade of blue, above one of his eye lids there was even a small scar. Instinctively Lucy went to move her hand to his face but was caught by the binding, it made an abrupt noise which stopped Lucy and snapped Sting back into focus.

Now noticing that the female was awake Sting stepped back, not looking her in the eye.

What was he doing?

Lucy thought on what she should say to break the silence but voted against it, their last meeting was difficult enough. She had plans to turn into actions, not time for idle chats.

Breathing in a sharp breathe Lucy was caught partially and started coughing, the chokes restricting her passage way, it wasn't the first time that had happened to her while living in these quarters but this time, it was more forced.

Sting whom had turned away, still deep within his mind had completely come back to reality when he heard her coughs. Looking at her for a mere moment longer he stepped forward and undid her binds allowing for her to stop her coughing. It seemed that even though he was quiet his guard was still up, from the last time Lucy had tried to escape.

Thinking on it more, Sting's actions in them last minutes had been.. different, not only was he more reserved like he had just bottled up all his up kept emotions, but his reactions were.. Softer. Lucy wondered why that was and realised the fact that she was thinking that in the first place. She shouldn't be!

Sting whom finally undid the second binding stretched back up to his full height and examining her once more looked away, he couldn't understand the woman's importance.

"Hmmhp, you are nothing.." He said loudly to himself, Lucy raised her eyebrows ready to knock him out, it was clearly his final outcome to his thinking before.

Controlling herself Lucy thought that it would be an excellent time to start her reasoning's. Standing up, caressing her wrists Lucy stood atop the writing she had written beforehand.

"You call me nothing, but I am still trapped…here in this cell. For a reason that I don't know of, but I know your reasons for being here. And even if I am 'weak' like you have forth told me many times in these last days, I will not succumb to your taunting and fall into DOUBT!"

Sting had turned around, his eyes that were placid had turned to their usual emotionless state, he had fallen for Lucy's trap.

"What was that? You think that my taunting is for your mere 'doubt'? ….. No, you naive girl, it isn't, it is because it is reality."

Sting's anger was not one of arrogance but pure heart-wrenching pain, one he was suffering himself. He wanted to punch right through the wall behind her head just so he could have the satisfaction of not beholding these emotions again, but though he was easily angered it had subsided into surprise.

"I'm not giving up, not on leaving here, or saving my friends OR FROM SAVING YOUR PARTNER FROM THE DAMNED GUILD MASTER!"

His surprise lasted for long moments, even more it was shock. An enemy…at that a weak one, was going to save his partner. WHAT FOR? She had no reason to….. He was the one that put her in here; she should be seeking revenge, more and more of it, not compassion. He clenched his hands… She must be mocking me..that filthy trash… Sting was ready to this time end her life, but was astonished to see she was no longer in front of him.

Lucy's heart was beating out of her chest, her feet mildly shaking from finally exiting that horrid room. She searched the hallway just outside, looking for her fateful Celestial Keys. She could feel them calling her, urging her towards their presence.

Lucy never thought that escaping would be this frightening, knowing that this was her only chance to escape. Her means of escaping though weren't exactly like she planned it, but it never ever was. Shrugging her shoulders Lucy kept looking.

Her hands were moving over the surface of every object, lifting her head Lucy quickly looked around to see if anything resembled her Celestial Keys, but they didn't, so shakily she moved on from the hallway, her footsteps echoing throughout the narrow house and ringing through her mind.

Fervently seeing a room to the left of the hallway Lucy moved into it. It was dark and murky and was hard to see inside, due to the lack of light contained in the room, but she could just make out that there was nothing of importance in there.

Turning around, Lucy's heart still pounding, she exited the room. As fast as her head allowed her, Lucy looked for another room but before she could, she heard the soft creaking of wood followed by footsteps.

Lucy's dreams all went down in a matter of seconds, she drew in a breathe of anticipation, not wanting to turn around. To meet her fate; she had yet to save her friends and Lector, so Lucy waited, her back slightly arched in an attempt to protect her face. Her life could may as well end in a matter of seconds or perhaps she was going to get pinned down once again.. but that.. never happened.

The footsteps came to a stop and a deep sigh was emitted.

"Hey Blondie, your keys are here."

Swinging them slightly the keys all chimed together, Lucy knew that they were eagerly calling out to her, so getting one last ray of dignity, Lucy turned to face Sting, who had a smirk on his face. He had reclaimed his cocky self and Lucy wondered why that was, but eyeing at her keys she stepped forward.

Sting saw the look on the girl's face, she was ready to give away everything to get those keys and at that moment he knew that her words of promise before were real. Somehow it just clicked in his mind.

Throwing the keys up in the air he aimed them in Lucy's direction, passing them along to her.

"You think you can just easily save everyone; make those simple promises, do you know what you are getting into?"

Sting asked with a new found worry, he wanted to save Lector and the easiest way for that to happen was for the Blonde Trash to die, but even so, the girl had seen a way around that. Hell, he didn't even know how she found out about his partner, except that he admired her strength in resolve, that he had never seen in anyone before.

Lucy on the other hand still had her guard up, she knew the tricks that that Sabertooth bastard could play, even though he gave her, her keys and she was amazed at that fact, she wasn't going to easily trust.

"It shouldn't matter what it is I'm getting into, at the end of the day I have to protect someone.. a-and I'll easily sacrifice my life for my them."

Lucy was getting nervous, the weird behaviour prohibited from the dragon slayer was different, not the one that dragged her along the cobblestone ground or laughed while she was ruthlessly thrown around by Minerva. It was like a breath of fresh air.

Looking at the keys intently to see if anything had been done to them Lucy decided that he was freely giving them to her, without a price.

"You know, if you leave here, they will find you and, kill you."

Lucy gulped at that fact, she knew quite well that they would eventually find her but that was why she wasn't running away.

"I- I know! That is why I'm not really 'leaving' here. I have to finish a few promises first! If I save your Exceed then I believe that in the schemes of things, my friends will be saved as well!"

Sting scoffed at her, she was such an optimist, always believing in that bullshit crap about bonds and friendships, it made him sick, but her resolve was fastened even if he restrained her she would leave his grasps. If she could really save Lector then he was only to follow.

"Hmmmhp, Blondie, I won't let you escape that easily. If you leave, I'll be under constant watch!"

Lucy noticed that Sting almost stated that embarrassingly and she could easily decipher what he said underneath his words. Her eyes brightened and a smile appeared, she no longer had to do this alone. Without saying anything she quietly nodded.
