Chapter 5: Death is Mercy
Lucy's P.O.V About a week ago (Shut up and stop singing)
As I stood outside the doors, I couldn't help but be nervous. Dragneel was in there, and from our previous encounters I didn't want anything to do with the bastard. I'm starting to wonder if he's stalking me… Taking a deep breath and after yelling "Damn it all!" I pushed open the door.
I was met with the smell of booze and smoke. As usual everyone was either drunk or getting drunk. And right in the middle of it all was Mr. Salamander Dragneel himself. He was seated on a red velvet cushion with a couple of girls sprawled all around him. One girl with short white hair was straddling him wearing an excessively short dress that put my mini skirts to shame. As well as exposing most of her breasts. She might as well of just come in the nude.
I watched in disgust as she practically threw herself on him and continued whispering; guessing from there faces probably something not PG appropriate. I myself was dressed in; much to my distaste a long pink gown which reminded me too much of my past. My hair was up in a high pony tail with two pieces framing my face. Virgo had to force me into my dress because honestly I rather had gone in the nude than have to wear a dress.
I shuddered remembering the gleaming look in Virgo's eyes. I caught sight of a mirror in an empty corridor and walked over to it. As I looked in my reflection, I saw my mother which calmed me down a bit. Out of habit I reached out and touched my reflection. It's almost as If she's here with me.
"Heartfilia in a dress, well isn't this a rare sight." I heard someone smirk from behind me. I froze, I recognized that voice. I turned looking at him with a fake smile as I shot back "Dragneel without any girls all over you. I'm rather shocked, did you send them away or did they finally realize what an asshole you are."
He laughed bitterly as he shot me a glare, warning me that I better keep my mouth shut. "Oh I'm sorry." I said feigning innocence. "Did I insult your royal highness? I thought nothing bothered the great almighty Salamander." The look he shot me after that made the smirk drop off my face faster than the speed of light.
I felt something warm on my cheeks and realized that tears had started to fall. Damn my weakness, I always cry at the worst possible moments. Now it was his turn to smirk. I turned my face away from him trying so desperately to cling on to what little dignity I had left. His hand reached out and caught my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes.
Now the tears were overflowing as he brought his lips to my ear and whispered harshly "If you so much as look at me ever again, I'll snap that pretty little neck of yours." My eyes widened with absolute terror. I tried to push him off of me but he grabbed both of my hands with the hand that wasn't holding my chin, and pinned them between our chests. He then backed a little to look at my face before asking "Is that clear?"
I couldn't speak, I felt my heart thudding against my chest violently and was surprised it hadn't exploded yet. When I didn't answer he slammed me against the wall and repeated his question "Is that clear?" Since I couldn't bring myself to talk I nodded.
When he saw my answer he smirked before letting me go. I fell to the ground and didn't even try to get up. When I didn't hear any footsteps I looked up to see him looming over me. His eyes darkened as he spoke through his teeth harshly "I thought I told you that if you ever looked at me," He then bent down to my level until his face was inches from mine "I'd snap that pretty little neck of yours." He finished with a cruel smile on his face.
I bit my lip to stop myself from whimpering before returning my gaze to the floor. I watched as the wooden floors got wet and felt his glare still on me. After a few moments longer I heard him sigh before getting up. He still didn't make any move to leave, instead he just continued standing there. Eventually he broke the silence when he said "The next time we meet Heartfilia, I will kill you."
After that he turned around and left. After a few more minutes I decided I better leave too. I got up shakily and found it hard to keep my balance. I used the wall for support and made my way out of there as fast as I could. Never in all the time had I known him had he ever sounded so furious.
The thing that confused me most is why he was already angry when he came to talk to me. Something must have happened because Dragneel doesn't do mercy. He doesn't kill you, he tortures you until you beg him to kill you. I continued walking down the trail until the only sound I heard was my shaky footsteps as I tried to make it back to my ship.
Hey guys, sorry if the Chapter isn't that good. I just really wanted to let you guys know more of why Lucy fears and despises Dragneel. I promise the next chapter will be better…hopefully. Anyway I got two chapters posted in three days! That's pretty good. Also I have started writing another story that's a Nalu and Graylu pairing. Go check that out if you want.
