Lucy's P.O.V
Ok Lucy you're tired and drained of power...but you two are all alone...confession time?!...hmm...Do I really like him that much?! I mean we've only been together for a couple of weeks now...?Think Lucy think! I thought back to the first time we trained together.
*Flashback *
He pointed at the big boulder blocking the entrance to a cave inside the mountain. "Carry it and run around the mountain 50 times" he said rather bluntly, pointing at the pathway snaking around the length of the mountain and finally stopping at the top. I looked at the boulder dumbfounded...then to Laxus...boulder...Laxus...boulder...Laxus...boulder!
"Why would I?!" I replied back at him he answered back by grabbing my arm and dragging me to the boulder easily as if I was just a sack of potatoes. I tried all kinds of methods to get his gigantic hand away from my bruised arm but it was no use. With each passing second I got closer to the dreaded boulder (hey that rhymes lol)he pushed me to the boulder and sat down on the ground watching my every move. I gave up and tried to lift the boulder, its weight giving me no help at all. After a couple 30 minutes had passed from trying to lift the boulder I finally succeeded to lift it above my head. I proceeded to run around the mountain and hadn't even got a metre around until my arms gave out and the boulder came down on me. I closed my eyes tired from lifting the heavy boulder and was about to get squished to a pulp until Laxus decided to show off and blow it to smithereens. I suddenly felt sleepy, my arms slowly turning numb while my eyes closing ever so slowly but before I succumbed into a deep slumber I heard Laxus say something.
" Tch, stupid Blondie making me worry" I smiled when I felt his hot breath fanning my face and when he kissed me gently on the cheek...What?!...Why did he do that?!...He does not like you Lucy! you're being silly! there must be a logical reason as to why he did that!... he must have thought I fainted or something and tried to wake me up...by teasing me...That's it! I get it now! After a few minutes I fell asleep, while thinking one last thing. He cared for me!
* End of Flashback *
I smiled to myself... I guess I do. I walked over to Laxus shyly and managed to stutter a sentence out. " L-Laxus i-im s-sorry f-for m-mira!" I bowed apologetically to him which was not a common thing for me to do.
Laxus's P.O.V.
Lucy came over to me and started to talk...she seems really nervous...is she okay?!
" L-Laxus i-im s-sorry f-for m-mira!" she bowed in front of me which left me breathless...Lucy! she's bowing down...to ME! I thought I'd never get to see this day!...wait a minute...is...is that an apology?!...wait a minute is she going to start avoiding me now?!...I knew it... I should have just went for it...this is embarrassing... what should I do?!
" You should really tell the she-devil that we are not dating and we don't like each other...at all!... she might get the wrong idea. As if I'd like a little weakling like you...ha that would never happen in a million years! you couldn't even lift that stinking boulder! She should now by now that I DON'T date weaklings." I replied back my eyes darting everywhere but her face, I stared past her as if she was just a ghost...weak and ignored. When I finally looked her in the eye all I could see were tears...her eyes were filled with hurt and shock, every tear that cascaded down her face stabbed my cold and empty heart. I'm going soft now aren't I? Why does my heart hurt?! Why is it that she hurts me with only her tears...her pain and yet it's more painful than getting mortally wounded. Every painful thing I've gone through doesn't compare to what I'm feeling now...why?! I immediately regretted my words and was about to take them back.
Lucy's P.O.V
" You should really tell the she-devil that we are not dating and we don't like each other...at all!... she might get the wrong idea. As if I'd like a little weakling like you...ha that would never happen in a million years! you couldn't even lift that stinking boulder! She should now by now that I DON'T date weaklings." Just when I thought my heart couldn't break any further... it just did...Love...it's a painful feeling...but it's also a wonderful feeling as well...so why can't I find the right guy that won't break my heart any more than it is now?! Why does fate have to be so cruel. Tears started pooling in my eyes which soon slid down my heart-broken face one by one. I'm crying again?! Why am I so weak?! I'm just wasted space aren't I?! I don't belong here... I don't belong any where...not even Fairy Tail...
" Y-you don't need to rub it it... I already know I'm weak" were my final words that escaped my already tear-stained lips before I ran past him and into the forest. Trees...branches were all that I could see for miles and miles ahead of me, I didn't know where I was going... my goal was just to get somewhere far...far away from Laxus. After a few hours of falling and stumbling I finally escaped the clutches of the gigantic forest and landed right into the mountains surrounding Crocus. (a/n: I don't really know if there is a forest near Crocus but I do know that there are mountains near Crocus) After a few minutes of deciding which route I should take either the mountains or back into the forest I had finally came to the conclusion that I should take the forest, if I had taken the mountains I would have probably died after a few minutes of climbing it but if I took the forest then not only will I escape death but I might be able to stumble upon another city near Crocus and start a new life... It's me against the world... I raced back into the forest and sped towards the sun. meaning North.
After a few hours of wandering aimlessly around the impossibly huge forest the shone had gone back down into the ground meaning my "compass" was now out of use. The moon had risen just after a few minutes lighting up the darkened world with its moonlight, I had climbed up a nearby tree and rested on a large and sturdy branch that supported my weight very well. Seeing as how there were no caves I could occupy for the night I just randomly chosen the nearest tree I could find in desperate need of shelter. I pushed my back up against the tree, its leaves covering my body just below my neck while the branches leaves just above me barely managed to cover the top of my head providing every part of my body excluding my face was well covered with leaves providing me much needed warmth as well as camouflage from Laxus though due to his heightened abilities he should find me easily. I put the thought of Laxus finding me in the back of my head ignoring it completely, my eyes drooped lower and lower tired from all the running.That was the first time I've ever felt so attuned to nature. Before I fell asleep pain suddenly rocketed through my body it's source coming from my heart, I clutched my heart as if it would ease the pain away but it did nothing of the sort. I screamed and writhed in pain before the pain slowly subsided leaving me breathless. What happened?!
Laxus's P.O.V
Everything happened in a flash and the next thing I knew she disappeared deeper into the forest. Surprisingly my heart ached for her, her hair, her lips, her chocolate brown eyes...everything...Look what you've done now Laxus! You BAKA! why did you have to do that?! Now...now you've lost her...maybe even forever. I felt pain again, the thought of losing her made my heart burn. She makes me feel special...she makes me feel like the only person alive in the world... I'm protective around her... I yearn for her presence when she's gone...she leaves me breathless just by the mere sight of her...could it be...that she's my mate?!...! Suddenly everything made sense, all the sensations she made me feel that were unexplainable...all of it made sense now. Now I've gone and lost her...that's just like me... stupid Laxus... I chuckled, " you better be safe Lucy...or else I'll never forgive you..." I smiled then followed her scent speeding off as fast as a bolt of lighting. Wait for me...
Demon's P.O.V
My smile grew exposing my sharp and bloody teeth, " we'll meet soon...Lucy...in the meantime just stay there..." I laughed and disappeared into the alleyways of Magnolia discreetly, my blood red rune markings glowing brighter and brighter by the second in anticipation. I cackled my laugh echoing through the deserted alleyways, I sped off to Crocus and according to my calculations I should arrive there in a days time. After all I am faster then a train in this accursed body...this is just one of the few advantages given to me in this form...soon blood will be shed...and I will reclaim my kingdom... I deserved it!...yet...SHE took it all away from me... my daddy...my kingdom to take over...she took it all away from me...now she will repay me by me killing her own flesh and blood... I grinned maliciously my intentions as dark as the night sky... soon everything will be mine again...I'll get to finally meet you again...daddy!
Lucy's P.O.V
Light pierced through my closed eyes shocking me into consciousness which led to me falling of off the tree, I landed face first on the dirty bug-filled soil. I stood up immediately brushing off the bugs crawling all over my skin while squeamishly screaming and complaining about the dirty ground. I looked around me becoming more alert of my surroundings and gave a sigh of relief when Laxus wasn't found. I started walking again but this time in search of food and water, all that running made me so dehydrated! just like yesterday I ended up walking aimlessly around already lost sight of the sun thanks to the trees and nearby foliage blooming back to life. Don't get me wrong they looked absolutely gorgeous but unfortunately they covered the sun from my sight especially the trees there's just so many of them around!
After 6 hours! Time: 12:45
" Waahhh! This is taking forever!" I complained. I turned around only to find Laxus not there... I suddenly grew lonely and sad. You should really tell the she-devil that we are not dating and we don't like each other...at all!... she might get the wrong idea. As if I'd like a little weakling like you...ha that would never happen in a million years! you couldn't even lift that stinking boulder! She should now by now that I DON'T date weaklings! The same phrase repeated itself in my head until I could feel tears down my cheeks...I'm so weak! He was right...that's why he'll never date me nonetheless like me! No Lucy! Stop crying! It will not help you in any way...it will only show that you're weak...Stay strong and keep your head up high no matter what other people say! I nodded to myself and soon after a few minutes I found a beautiful but small meadow that contained a small watering hole and rose bushes surrounding the meadow which stops directly beside an entrance to what seemed like a large cavern locate on the back of a small mountain. Without even thinking I hastily ran to the watering hole and scooped out water with my hand and drank it until I was rehydrated again. When I was content I laid back into the grass and smiled thinking that this would be the perfect spot for shelter, suddenly I was on full alert when I heard an echoing sound coming from the cavern. The echoing sound came closer and closer until finally I realised it was directly headed towards me, before I could even move out of the way a loud blast shot from the cave at full speed and knocked me backwards and into the rose bushes which unfortunately had thorns in it. Blood spurted out of the cuts from the thorns causing me to scream in pain while the thorns which were still in my skin punctured even deeper into my arms, back and legs.
I heard the same echoing sound again acknowledging it as an attack, I braced for the attack and when it hit me I immediately lost consciousness
Laxus's P.O.V
I heard a scream not far from where I was and immediately recognised it as Lucy, my heart sank while I desperately raced to her. Lucy! Just hang on! I'm nearly there! just...please hang on!
Demon's P.O.V
Her pain-filled scream filled my ears filling me with joy and disappointment. I should have been the first one to torture her! Never mind I'll just finish the attacker off as well as her! talk about hitting two birds with one stone! I guess I'm lucky today!
? P.O.V
I made my way cautiously outside, after I had sensed the presence of an intruder I immediately launched an attack. When I was sure that I had knocked out the intruder I made my way outside, what I saw gave me the shock of a life time. " L-Lucy-sama" I rushed over to her and picked her up by my snout led her into the cavern though not the too deep into the cavern. I laid her down gently on the ground and grabbed some nearby herbs for the wounds I had caused her. I hope she will forgive me for what I have done... the others will surely kill me for what I did to you. I chuckled, I left the unconscious girl lying down on the floor while I ventured deeper into the cavern in search for more effective medicine. What I didn't know was that my action would make me an even greater enemy to... " The Corrupted One"
Laxus's P.O.V
I felt the presence of death coming closer and closer to me, I just ignored it and kept my mind focused on saving Lucy from her attacker. What I didn't notice was a dark shadow was catching up to me and soon passing me and disappearing in the distance. I was getting tired but I would do anything to save Lucy...anything.
Demon's P.O.V
I wasn't expecting to encounter other people here...is it possible that...that's her mate?!... I wonder if he heard her scream...obviously he should have...he is a dragon slayer after all...hmm...ha they haven't even done the mating ritual yet!Pathetic idiots! well this should be fun... I would love to see his face when I tear Lucy apart...right in front of him hahaha... I smirked and went faster overtaking him and getting nearer and nearer to my destination. Soon I had arrived there, I walked in the meadow and looked around cautiously. I smelt Lucy and the unmistakable scent of her blood on some of the rose bushes. I walked nearer to the cavern and found that her scent intensified as I came closer, soon I had found her lying down on the cold hard ground unconscious I would have loved to have torn you apart while you were still awake but this'll have to do. I gathered a lot of dark magic and focused it all into a huge ball in between my outstretched palms. When I had gathered enough I held it high above her head, "DIE!" my eyes flashed with the anticipation of murder but before I could fully deliver the blow to her I was blown back by a huge amount or force which seemed all too familiar. I lost consciousness soon afterwards.
? P.O.V
I made it just in time! she nearly killed he! and just when I had found her! that was too close! I need to get out of here before she awakens! I carried the unconscious girl in my back and went outside. I stood opposite the "Corrupted One" and stood facing the watering hole. I closed my eyes and prepared to open the gate when suddenly a blonde-haired dragon slayer came and interrupted my ritual.
Laxus's P.O.V
I had finally arrived to where Lucy was and was enraged to what I saw, a dragon as tall as Mercurius stood in just a few metres away its golden scales sparkling as sun rays bounced off of it, its eyes were the colour of blood which made it the colour stand out from the rest of its body but what I saw that made me enraged was not the dragon...it was Lucy on the back of the dragon knocked out. My first conclusion was that the dragon knocked out Lucy and is saving her as dinner later on, that made me go completely blind with fury. How dare that...thing hurt Lucy! don't worry Lucy I'll kill it and save you! my feelings controlled my actions as I lunged ready to slay the monstrous beast.
? P.O.V
Hmm...he's a lightning dragon slayer...Elektra would like him! He lunged at me and tried to electrify me with a bolt of lightning. Nice try kid! you'd have to do better than that! I have gone against Elektra and won you think you can beat me?! He made a grab for Lucy but I moved out of the way. Is this Lucy-sama's mate?! But why... why can't I sense her mark?!ohh they haven't realised it yet...dense idiots... I'm running out of time! " Enough! look boy I'm trying to get Lucy-sama to safety and if you won't protect her from that demon then you are not worthy of being called her mate!" I knew that was a little rough but I needed to go before she wakes up!
" what are you saying?1 you're the only threat to her here!" he shouted back at me snarling a bit...I stand corrected he is perfect for her!
" I haven't got time for this! Look she's waking up!" I pointed at the demon just a few metres away from us beginning to stir a little. The boy looked at the demon then started to come closer to me I knew then that he was on my side... I can't explain how though. I once again closed my eyes and performed the ritual and suddenly a bright light appeared just above the watering hole. I started to fly and soon entered the blinding white light that was the portal with Lucy's mate grabbing on my tail just in the nick of time. Just when the portal closed I heard "The Corrupted One" scream my name.
Demon's P.O.V
I woke up just to see the portal to the Dragon Realm closing...my home! as well as any chances of killing Lucy along with it. I screamed one last thing before it fully sealed shut, " CELESTIA!"
