Creed was standing over her.
"Ah, so Sleeping Beauty finally awakens." Lucy tried to leap at him, but she was bound hand and foot.
"What do you want Creed!?"
"Ah, but you should know Witch. You may be nothing more than a witch, but you are very powerful. And Train will come." Lucy gasped. She should have known. Creed would do anything to get at Train. But apparently he now wanted her to. She called upon the Gold Cat to help free her, but Creed's boot came down upon her shoulder. She screamed in pain and pulled back. Creed laughed viciously.
"You probably think that ability is some sort of gift huh? Well it's not. It's like Leon's wind, like Durham's connection with guns, its Tao." Lucy didn't know how to respond, so she just made her hair cover her face. Creed's cold hard laughter froze her blood, but what could she do in her current position. The healing wound from the Phantom Blade was bothering her, but she tried to ignore it.
After an hour, Train finally arrived.
"Train! You came!"
"Give Lucy back!" Train snarled, but then he saw that Lucy was standing beside Creed, her head hung. "Lucy….."
"I'm sorry Train."
"Enough chit-chat! Train, come, your destiny calls!" Creed held out his hand. Train's eyes were still locked on Lucy.
"No Creed. I will not. Now give me Lucy." Lucy looked up at him. Her eyes showed he needed to leave, she would get out on her own.
"Oh Train! How I have waited for those eyes!" Train, once again, had the eyes of a murderer.
"TRAIN! RUN!" Lucy shouted. Creed slapped her, but Train didn't see, he was too busy running away. All the Apostles of the Stars had gathered.
"You insolent girl!" Creed shouted at Lucy preparing to punch her when Leon jumped in the way.
"Creed-sama, don't hurt her. It'll be hard for her to get used to it here." Creed simply withdrew his punch and walked away. Lucy sighed in relief.
"Here, you can stay with me tonight!" Kyoko Kirisaki stood next to her.
"Uh, sure, I guess. Thanks. I'm Lucy."
"Hiya Lucy! I'm Kyoko! This here is Charden. Charden Flameberg! And I'm Kyoko Kirisaki!" Kyoko sure was a hyper girl. Lucy followed the girl to her room where Charden left them. Lucy stood awkwardly looking around the room. A bunk bed. Kyoko had taken over the top bunk. "Well come in Lucy! You get the bottom bunk, if that's OK."
"Ya, sure, it's fine. OK. Thanks again Kyoko." Lucy settled down on the bottom bunk, and allowed her mind to connect with Train's. His emotions were running high. He didn't know what to do. Sven and Eve tried to calm him, but they couldn't. Then Lucy's voice echoed through the little room. "Train, Sven, Eve, don't worry, I will come back. Go on until I can return. I will. Do not stay here." They all jumped.
"LUCY! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Train shouted into thin air. An image of Lucy appeared in front of him.
"Train, I am always with you. Our hearts are one. No matter where you go, you will know if I die. Do not fear Train." And then she was gone. Kyoko had shaken her awake.
"Lucy? You were mumbling, you OK?"
"Ya Kyoko, sorry, I do that sometimes." Lucy smiled up at the girl. Kyoko smiled back then flipped over and fell asleep again. Lucy however, was thinking of ways to escape. Creed would expect her to find Train, so that's exactly why she couldn't. She would escape, and get as far away from Train as possible. So she did. She managed to escape and run, she ran as far away as possible, only stopping because she passed out from exhaustion.
