Where we left off:

When lunch was over I went back to my locker and when I opened it a piece of paper fell out. When I read it I went rigid. First day and hate mail in my locker. Well, more like an open ended threat.

I know who you are. If you don't want your secret revealed...

All you have to do is meet me in front of the school when you get out of class.

If you do not. I will share this intelligence with everyone that the crybaby, Lucy is CelestialStar.

~Anon

I quickly crumpled up the paper and grabbed my books before heading to English.


LUCY

I walked to English, well, more like ran. I was feeling a little sick and I just wanted to day to be done with. I was emotionally drained and I needed to take a break. I hated being reminded of home and family. Both foreign concepts to me. I sat down at the open desk in the front of the room right next to Levy. She didn't notice anything was wrong with me yet, but I was slowly falling apart. She didn't say anything as her nose was shoved in a book and shortly so was mine as I was told to red up to chapter 6 in a very large book. All the while taking notes.

Finally a paper was assigned and the rest of the class we got the chance to work on whatever we wanted. That was when Levy looked up and smiled, "Hey, Lu! Are you feeling any better?" She asked softly like she was trying to keep me from crying again.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine. It's just not a good day for me. Too much work probably.." I answered, my heart was racing though. I needed to find out who wrote that letter and get them to not out me. I don't want that extra attention. It didn't help that Natsu was constantly swarmed, but I would not be able to handle that. I wasn't good in crowds. Never was and never will be.

Levy nodded, "It's understandable. You have to catch up with everyone else. If you ever need help with anything please ask us. We are all very willing." She smiled and then turned back to her book. I was kind of glad she looked away because I was about to go insane.

I eventually just spaced out with a panicked look on my face. Was it always this hard to breath? When I realized what was going on it was too late because I was already in a full blown panic attack with people swarming me to try to get me to snap out of it. I wasn't hearing anything besides a low hum though. I felt a comforting hand on my back at one point and looked up to see Levy with a worried face. She was talking, but I couldn't hear anything as my vision tunneled. I shut my eyes as she rubbed my back and I tried to focus on breathing. I had to say it helped a little bit.

Soon I was back in a stable place and I decided I was going to spend the rest of the class in the nurses office and little did I know Levy ended up telling everyone what happened. When I woke up from an hour long nap Everyone was looking down at me and I felt self conscious as I held my breath. I was secretly hoping the light would fall and kill me or maybe I'd be crushed by the ceiling. They were going crazy and Gray was the first to talk, "Lucy, are you alright? Erza has your history notes by the way and Music Theory is next, but I'm not sure you should go if you actually had a panic attack in English."

I blinked at him and tilted my head. I had no memory of having the panic attack and now I felt fine. I grabbed my head and sat up, "I'm fine. Promise. Besides, I gotta go to class." I said like something was pushing me and then I felt the lump in my pocket heavier. After music theory I would be meeting the person who wrote that letter. I groaned and then stood up and Natsu was in front of me giving me a worried look.

"No, Lucy. You don't have to go to class if you aren't feeling good." He muttered and then lowered me back to the bed, "We'll get you when class ends." The pink hair boy said.

I shook my head and forced my way back up, "I said I'm going to class, Natsu. You aren't stopping me, understand?" I almost looked desperate and everyone just gave me a confused look. The girl who was so sad earlier was so irritable now. I just wanted to be left alone. I eventually left the nurses office and felt all of them looking back at me with dazed expressions.


As the day progressed I eventually got more and more irritable. A single touch from one person would trigger an onslaught of anger and me telling the other person off. Maybe this was my defense mechanism, scaring other people away. I wouldn't really know since I've never been in a situation like this. In music theory Gray knew I was upset, but still talked to me which was nice considering I wanted to rip head off of bodies and march around the school with them on sticks, "So, Lucy, You like music that much, huh?"

The topic took me by surprise and calmed me down a bit, "Uh, yeah, I guess you could say. Music is the one way I can express myself clearly sometimes." I said looking down at the sheet music I was reading for a song that I had planned on singing for my audience, "It's complicated." I wasn't about to say how her mother had taught her everything she knew because the wound was all too fresh, "Not that it matters though right?"

Gray leaned back in his seat and shrugged, "It's important if you want it to be. I take an art class because it's the only way I can express myself. My adoptive mother taught me everything I know, but she died when I was young." He looked at the paper in front of him and sighed, "I'd say it was my fault, but you seem like the type of girl who would tell me it wasn't."

"You aren't wrong, but it's seriously wouldn't have been your fault. Besides, I feel responsible for my mother's death too. She died in a car accident when I was younger." I looked at my sheet music and bit my lip, "So, I understand trust me."

"Your mom died in a car accident? So did Ur. I will never forget the look on her face as she told me she was trapped." He looked sad, but I clasped my hands together and looked down, "It was my fault. If I hadn't been fooling around in the back seat no one would be dead."

I looked up at Gray, "Did the person in the other car die? Was it in Crocus on the bridge?" I needed to know, not because I wanted to know who I crashed into that day, but it seemed like they would have that kind of luck.

"Uh, yeah and I guess it was. Why?" He said and then when he saw the look on my face he froze, "oh... Lucy. I'm so sorry. I.. I'm so so sorry." He apologized and then awkwardly looked away.

"Yeah, the person Ur crashed into was my mother." I looked down and then at Gray, "I wasn't in the car, but I feel like if I had kept her at home that day it wouldn't have happened." I sighed and then smiled, "It's not your fault, Gray. I promise. At least we both kept the things important to us near." I wasn't going to blame him for this. It wasn't his fault.

"Yeah, there is that." He smiled back, glad that she could at least settle his heart a little about it, "Let's not talk about this anymore." He sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

I nodded, "Sounds like a great plan to me. So, now you know why I have sheet music on me all the time." I said and then laughed, "Sorry for running into you earlier, by the way. I was in a little bit of a hurry to be alone."

"No problem. You were stressed out and wanted to get away. It's fine." He said as the bell rang, "I gotta go meet up with Juvia before she gets super jealous again. Apparently she saw me run into you earlier and got a little bit of the wrong idea. You can come with and meet her if you want to." He offered and we packed up our stuff.

"Actually, I have to meet someone in front of the school anyways, so sure. I'll come along." I smiled and then stood up.

"Oh really, who? Someone special?" He asked like I was secretly dating someone, but I wouldn't tell him about the letter, so I just nodded and he smirked, "Nice."

"Well, let's uh go." I mumbled glad he didn't ask further about who it was. For all he knew it was probably Natsu. I could tell he knew that I liked him. I sighed and we walked to the front of the school silently. He could see me getting a little nervous, but didn't say anything. He just thought it was because I was meeting up with a guy.


So, Juvia was a beautifully shy looking girl who lit up as soon as she saw Gray walking down the sidewalk to her and she ran to him and gripped his arm painfully tight, "Hey, Juvia, I would like to to meet the new girl, Lucy." He introduced me, "Lucy, Juvia."

"Hello." I muttered and I could tell that I was about to get an earful from this girl, "I'm Lucy. Nice t-"

"LOVE RIVAL!" She hissed loudly at me and my eyes shot wide open. Since when did I become a love rival in all this. I shook my head.

"No, no, no. I'm not interested in Gray like that. Promise. He's safe. We are friends, that's it." I quickly tried to defend myself as someone tackled me to the ground and I was so confused, but so was Gray and Juvia. I didn't want to look at the face. All I could tell was it was a male. Bora. I could tell by the lowlife stink of him. I had met bora at my mother's funeral. One could say he was my uncle of sorts, "God dammit, Bora. Leave now!" I yelled at him.

"Hey, don't yell at me like that. I'm sorry about that note by the way." He shrugged, "You know the one I left you at the funeral?"

Gray watched as I visibly stiffened underneath the man and then watched as I scrammbled to get to my feet, "Hey, Lucy. Are you alright."

I nodded, "Fine, thanks." I gave him a smile and then I looked back at Bora, "I thought I told you to never bring that up! EVER!" I shouted at him. I wasn't expecting it, but someone came up behind me and tapped my shoulder. Yet I was so full of anxiety at this point I grabbed the hand and nearly flipped a boy with orange hair over my shoulder. In fact, when I was brought back to reality he was on the ground in front of me and Bora looked horrified.

"Okay, I think there was a misunderstanding beautiful." The guy on the ground said, rubbing his back.

"No, I think I was right to flip you. Can't believe I'm even alive right now." I groaned and then turned angrily around and left both boys on the ground. Bora smirking and Loke confused off his ass. Gray and Juvia followed after Lucy to make sure she was okay only to see someone pulling her towards the back of the building.

"Well, Juvia we should go. She seems like she is going to be okay after all." Gray said, turning back to his girlfriend and then pulled her along.

I should've known that Bora wrote that note. He probably had some sort of spy slip it in my locker. I was being led away by none other than Erza, who had seen me flip my tables on the two men and then she stopped behind the building and leaned against the wall, "What was that?"

"Nothing, one of them put a threat in my locker and well, I flipped. It's why I had a panic attack and why I flipped that seemingly innocent boy." I said, looking at my feet, "I'm not used to people, but that sure as hell is not the way I wanted my first day to go." I felt like crying and I just really wanted to go back to my room, "Hey, Erza? Can I trust you with a secret?"

"I see. No one wants their first day around people to be like that. I probably have had worse though." Erza sighed and then smiled and nodded, "Of course I can keep a secret. I will keep anything you want me too." She said with confidence, "I won't let you down, Lucy."

I sighed, "Alright, but it's really hard for me to admit. I uh... I may or may not be a famous youtuber? Like you know... One that one of your friends asked to collab with? May or may not have been Natsu." I said awkwardly, "I wasn't expecting to meet him here and well now he doesn't know it's me and I kind of don't want him to, not yet anyways." Why was it so hard to get my thoughts across without stummbling over my words.

"You are... CelestialStar? Lucy, He's been going crazy over you. Mira has wanted to meet you forever now. Hell, even I've been into your stuff for a while now. I won't tell anybody, but you are going to have to out yourself eventually."

"I will. Eventually." I said scratching my cheek, "I just.. you know.. I kind of have an anxiety thing where I don't want people to judge me for what I am, but who I am?" I shrugged, "It makes sense to me if it doesn't to you."

"No problem, Lucy. I understand. I really do. Hey, but how are you going to respond to Natsu? I mean, he wants to collab with you right? How are you going to do that when you don't want him to know who you are." She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, I was thinking we just... uh... crap you are right." I muttered and then looked down, "Maybe I just won't. He already thinks I'm weird as hell from the panic attack and the fainting on him earlier. Maybe he's already figured it out. Maybe he doesn't like me anymore." I started panicking and then I felt a hand on my shoulder and it caused me to stop.

"Lucy... He likes you. He more like loves you. As soon as you left us during lunch he wouldn't stop asking if you were okay. He sent Levy to make sure you were okay. Hell, he even asked me to get your history notes which are right here, by the way." She stated pulling notes out of her bag.

"That makes this even weirder and thanks for the notes, Erza. Means a lot." I muttered and then sighed, "I don't know what is going on right now and I promise. I'll tell him eventually, but just not now. I have to go back to my room and take a nap. I'm exhausted." I smiled and then walked off like nothing was bothering me. However, when I rounded the corner I had a bag pulled over my head and I struggled against four manly feeling hands. I was terrified and I would've screamed if they hadn't shoved something in my mouth.

I was shoved into a car and tied up. I ended up smacking my head hard enough to make myself pass out which only helped them.


When I woke up I was sitting in a chair with a bag over my head and my feet and hands tied to a chair. I was still clothed, so at least there was that. I didn't move. I didn't even try to struggle because I was shaking. All I could think about was how I wanted someone to save me, but this wasn't some fairy tale. There was no prince coming to save me.

I was trapped and being held captive. They were going to keep me blindfolded. When I was sure everything in the room was quiet I worked to get the hood off of my head, which required a lot of squriming, so of course it didn't work. I groaned and then I heard a door open and I went stiff, "Lucy Heartfilia, huh?" I couldn't recognize the voice. I could tell they were getting closer to me and I shut my eyes, "You are probably wondering who I am aren't you?" The male asked.

I couldn't really say anything considering my mouth was gagged, but hey if he wanted an answer I was going to give it to him, "Hm!" I groaned out.

"Well, too bad, Miss Heartfilia. Too bad indeed because you will be my captive for quite a while until you share all your families secrets." He said, his hand on my arm made me go stiff, "Your choice."

I didn't know anything about my family. My father never shared anything with me after my mother died and my mother only shared her gift of music with me when I was a young child. That and the keys that I tended to keep in a drawer in my desk. I tried to talk, but it wouldn't work, "NEmmmMEM! Hmm H-!" I was cut off but a quick grab to my jaw.

"You will do your best to be quiet, Heartfilia." He muttered as he violently tossed my head back. I wasn't going to be able to eat and I sure as hell was not going to be able to get out of here alone, "I know your secret and I'm so sorry that a family friend had to tell me."

I went stiff, Bora told this mad man about me? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My eyes were wide. I shut my eyes and then tried to hold back my tears, "You don't mind if I make a video right? Your friends will probably know you are gone by now." What did he mean? How long was she out? What was happening? I shook my head and then screamed, "I'll take that as a yes."

I could hear the beeping of the camera, the zoom of the lens and then I started screaming more and violently squirming in the chair though I screamed even louder when the duct tap was ripped off of my mouth, "NO! I won't tell you anything!"

"Don't try to be a hero Lucy. I know you hate your father and you hate yourself even more." The man said, "Now just tell me who you really are."

"I won't! Let me go!" I clenched my fists and then squirmed harder. The rope burns I could deal with, the blood that was now leaking to the floor. I cried, "Just please let me go."

"It was your fault wasn't it? Your father won't talk to you because it's your fault." He said with a evil grin on his face as I started to hyperventilate.

"N-no... Please stop! No. It wasn't my fault. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please just let me go." I started saying between breathes.

"I can't do that, Lucy. You are stuck here until you share." He said to me. He was happy that I was in emotional pain. He was happy I was suffering.

"I can't... someone help me! P-please!" I squirmed harder and then went into a full panic as the man touched me, "I don't want to be here. I don't want t-" I was cut off the same way I was before, "You have forty eight hours, or you are going to get hurt."

"Please don't... I have nothing to share!" I cried and then my head was thrown back again and I ended up passing out again.

"Stupid girl. I don't plan on letting you go for free. If any of you want to see your precious CelestialStar ever again you will come to her." He said on video, "Otherwise, this shooting star is going to be gone. Message me if you have any information on her." He turned the video off and then uploaded it to Lucy's channel, sending it to public, "Let's see who tries to save the last star now." He smirked and left the room.


A/N: Hello readers. Okay. I know this took a dark turn, but my mind wandered in this direction while I was waiting for my English class to start. I apologize. I promise you that there isn't going to be some huge torture scene unless you literally tell me to write one out.

Anyways, Will anyone save her? Will Natsu find out what's going on? Find out in the next chapter, maybe. All depends what you guys want and no Lucy really isn't hiding anything. She really doesn't know what this guy wants.
