Well here's the next short chapter. Sorry for the wait.

Lucy felt groggy; her head was pounding against her skull which made her flinch. She attempted to put her hands to her head and heard the clanging of chains. Lucy stopped moving her hands and glanced at them. Nothing was binding her wrists.

Why did I hear chains? She thought to herself as she moved her arms again. There was the same sound. This time she shook her arms, trying to find out exactly if the sound was coming from her arms. Hearing once again the same sound Lucy gritted her teeth and put her hands to where she imagined chains to be. As she set one hand down on her wrist she saw a shimmer glaze across and reveal a small bracelet holding a large chain.

"Magic chains" she whispered. Lucy stood up; slightly unsteady on her feet as the drug or whatever it was was still in her system. Putting both hands on where the invisible chain was, she saw the shimmer again and began sliding her hands along. When she came to the end of the chain her mouth began to hang open. The end of the chain wasn't attached to anything. Confused Lucy grabbed the end and held it up to her eye, trying to see if there was something else there. Seeing nothing she turned to the door of the room and began to walk toward it. She didn't get far before she heard the growling. It was a low rumble at first so she didn't notice it, but as she got closer to the door the growl began to get louder to the point that Lucy stopped moving and glanced in its direction. Knowing what she thought she might see Lucy looked across the room to the creature that now sat up in full attention, eyes fixated on her. Lucy felt a small shaft of fear roll over her body at the sight of the creature. Not knowing quite what to do she glanced longingly at the door.

Can I make it to the door in time? She wondered. She glanced back at the creature to gauge the distance between her and it. Then a thought hit her and she moved a hand down to where her keys were usually held. Feeling nothing Lucy felt a sense of panic. If she didn't have her keys then it was pretty much impossible to get to the door before the creature was on her. Taking a deep breath Lucy decided to try anyway.

I need to get out of here, she told herself, determined now to get to the door. Sending one more glance at the creature she made a move to look as though she would move away from the door. Seeing the creature relax a bit she took her chance and burst towards the door. She had only taken a few steps before she felt the yank on her wrists. Shocked that the chains were pulling her she glanced over to where the end of the chain had been laying but didn't really have to look before she spotted the creature pulling on it with his mouth.

"Dammit" Lucy whispered as she saw the creature pull back, pulling her with it. Lucy dug in her heals and began to pull, trying once again to get to the door. Pulling as hard as she could against the chains she moved a few steps to the door. Suddenly the chain was released by the creature and Lucy felt herself falling backwards. Lucy braced herself for the impact and let out a groan as she hit the floor hard. Her head began to sting where it had connected with the floor and she breathed in a quick breath. She quickly tried to get to her feet but didn't have time before the creature was on her, its jaws snapping at her as she put her chain clad hands up to protect herself. This was when she began to panic again; the creature was large and heavy, almost impossible to keep back. Struggling for what felt like forever Lucy began to get tired. She couldn't keep the thing away from her for much longer. Taking in a deep breath she pushed hard on the creature's chest, managing to move it away from her a little bit. The creature quickly began to come at her again and Lucy could no longer hold her arms up to fend it off. Right before the creature could clamp its jaws around her throat Lucy heard a loud whistle. Relief began to enter through her body before she remembered where exactly she was. Her head turned sharply toward the sound of the whistle and the creature moved off her. Lucy felt her throat go dry as she saw the man that had saved her. He was clad all in black and had a devilish grin plastered to his face. A scar ran along his jaw and his eyes seemed to pierce through her. A shadow moved on the ground toward her and Lucy quickly scooted away from it, not wanting it to touch her.

"Easy now young lady, the shadow won't hurt you" he told her in a steady voice.

"What do you want?" Lucy asked, her voice shaking. She noticed the man's face fall as he looked at her, she swore it was disappointment on his face.

"I was hoping you would have asked a better question. It's always the same, who are you? What do you want? Yada yada ya" he let out a small laugh after he said that, as if it amused him. Lucy frowned and moved to stand, her feet once again unsteady as she faced him square on. She could see the man's eyes roll over her body and she felt a shiver of disgust at his blatant staring.

"I'm not very original and stop staring at me, it's creepy" she told him angrily. The man just laughed and motioned with his hands for her to move toward a chair. Lucy refused to move and stayed standing where she was.

"Where am I? What interest do you have in me?" she asked, dreading what he might say.

"You Lucy Heartfilia are in a room, and the only interest I have in you would be your boyfriend. However, your body's not that bad either" he said. Lucy felt another shiver of disgust before she squared her shoulders and sent a glare at him.

"What do you want with Natsu?" she asked him, trying to hide her concern for the pink haired mage. The man just waved his hand again.

"I want to play. Just like old times" he said, a small smile returning to his face. Lucy looked at him puzzled.

"Play…. Weird sort of game you're playing. Pretty sick too" she told him angrily. Once again his face fell.

"Yes well, it is my game after all. Once Natsu gets here I'm hoping to have moved the game to the next level although I'm not exactly needed for that" he said. That caught Lucy's attention.

"Next level?" she asked. He smirked.

"I think there's someone who wants to meet you. You see he's the creator of all this. The mutations, the kidnappings, and he seemed to have taken a liking to you. I forbade him of touching you however but I could be lenient" he answered as he turned toward the door.

"I'll be back Miss Lucy. Don't go trying to leave the room again however" he said smugly as he let out another whistle. The same creature lumbered toward her and sat down. Its eyes staring at her. Watching, hoping for her to make a move toward the door so it could attack. Lucy shivered as she remembered its fangs. The man had begun walking out the door when Lucy called out to him.

"You know my name but I don't know yours" she told him. He glanced back.

"There's no need for you to know my name" he replied before closing the door behind him with a final click. Lucy glanced nervously at the creature before she began pacing the room, careful not to move toward the door. She hoped that Natsu was careful and not being too reckless for her sake.

"How can I get out of here? I need to find my keys too, before anything" she spoke to herself, trying to come up with a plan but coming up empty. Unfortunately she didn't even have time to form a plan when the door opened again. This time it wasn't the same man. This guy was dressed in a navy blue shirt with black pants. He was shorter than the other man and looked more ragged, like he had just been woken up from a nap. His hair was tussled from sleep and his eyes were half closed.

Definitely just woke up, she thought. The man looked over at the creature before smiling at it and patting his leg. The creature, like an obedient dog went to him its tail wagging behind it in happiness. He then turned to Lucy and she felt disgusted at the look in his eyes.

"Don't come any closer to me" she told him. The man gave a chuckle.

"Are you going to stop me?" he asked as he took another step toward her, creature by his side.

"Would you prefer me? Or my friend here I wonder. Let's see if my guess is right" he said. Lucy had no time to react before he and the creature were on her. Lucy's scream filled the air and reverberated throughout the halls. In another room, all the shadow man did was smile as he awaited Natsu…..

Okay what the hell. o.o what is that weird creepy horrible guy doing to Lucy? ummm ya I'm not gonna tell you C: you'll have to wait and find out. Once again I'm sorry for the long wait and I'm having real troubles with the story and the speech, who should say what and yada yada. Feel free to hate me because I don't know when I'll update next. Also sorry this is so short. Until next time~~
