It's been three days since zerefs confession, and i confessed back, nothing special happened, but rose was back and more bitchy than ever, but so was i.

"Lucy, i want a duel, just me and you, no help."

"fine."

"hope your ready to die."

"hope you'll learn not to make false accusations." we walked to the battle area and the guild followed, they put up the magical barrier and mira started the countdown, once it went off rose was the first to make a move.

"HELL DRAGON ROAR" i sucked in her roar, tasted rather nasty.

"wow your roar is just gross, full of hate and jealousy. so try this." "BLOOD DRAGONS SECRET ART:CRIMSON FURY DEATH MAGIC:CRY OF HELL!" a massive cloud of red, black, and purple flew out of my mouth, i knew it would only take an amount of power, so of course she was still up.

"wow was that your most powerful attack? feel bad if it was... FIRE MAKE: DRAGON." is that bitch trying to use my favorite magic against me?

"dragon i am your master, you belong to me, come back and take my hand, TOGETHER WE WILL DEFEAT THE ONE WHO TRIED TO CLAIM YOU!"

i watched roses face grow in horror as the dragon knocked her out, i forced the dragon away to watch rose rise back up from being knocked out only to be more powerful than before, but- i was cut off by my own screams, she hit me with dark arts death magic, the only magic that can lay a hit on me.

"you bitch."

"what jealous because i laid a hit, maybe the next one will be on your man."

"burn in hell you slut."

"sorry, can't i was born from it weakling."

"600 blades of pain, dance with the body

of thy enemy as their skin drips with red

let me drink the blood of their death,

Let heaven and hell mix as you take your prey

600 BLADES OF PAIN, DANCE!" I, myself was a requip mage, i use hell, and heaven requip stone. as my gold, white, silver, red and black blades danced around me on the last verse of my newly created spell they flew towards rose and sliced her skin till she fell.I could hear the guild cheer me on, i didn't care, they liked me for my power not for who i am on the inside, i was only a replacement for lisanna anyhow. i walked home forgetting about zeref, he probably stayed to take care of rose. i was walking into my house when i got lightheaded and passed out in front of my door.

Zerefs POV

I was walking back to lucys house, she ran off after the match so i went off to look for her, although rose wouldn't leave me alone. i walked inside to see lucy passed out on the door but no wonder she made a new spell it doesn't take much magic but it mentally tires her. i picked her up and took her cloak off of her, it was cold in the room so I put my sweatshirt on her and laid her on the bed. she looked really pretty the way her hair was framing her face, i put my hand on her cheek and gave her a kiss. ever since i told her i loved her i couldn't help but want to be near her, im not like juvia with grey but that dumbass needs to tell her he likes her already but but he doesn't want to take things 'too fast' i swear i'm going to slap him if he doesn't tell her. but if im around her and she's happy im happy and if anyone dares to hurt her i slowly let them be tortured and ripped apart. she was the only one i wanted to be with, but rose was going to make me her with everything in her, but it won't work, and if she got a hold of Sinth a war of hell and heaven would rain down, mages and humans across the world would die, i have t find sinth and destroy her, lucy would kill her and would gain her devil side completely, and if that happened i would lose my lucy forever, their is only a 45% chance of bringing her back. i leaned in next to her and kissed her cheek, i got up and went to change, i put on a pair of black sweatpants, and took off my shirt. i got into the bed next to her and played with her bangs. I noticed that her head was hotter than usual, i got up and got the thermometer, i put the thermometer one her head and it beeped, it said 104 on so im just going to assume she has a fever. i called wendy and she told me what to do and that she indeed had a fever. I got a wet rag and put it over her forehead, then i went to make her some soup.

Lucys POV

I was waking up in my bed, the last thing i could remember is passing out by the door. I tried to stand up but my head was pounding, it hurt enough to make me cry.

"z-zeref..." i watched as zeref walked over to me, he was wearing black sweatpants and no shirt, he knelt next to me and picked me up from the ground, as slowly as he could.

"lucy you shouldn't get out of bed, you have a fever. i made you some soup."

"what kind?" i had recently taken a vegetarian diet, so i don't eat most of the stuff zeref does.

"don't worry theirs no meat in it."

"okay." he laid me back on the bed and gave me my soup. while i ate he took a shower, and when he came out he had only his towel on, i took the unoccupied pillow next to me and threw it at his face.

"ouch, what was that for?"

"go put some clothes on!"

"why, is it embarrassing?"

"Zeref!"

"fine, i'll go put some clothes on." he walked back into the bathroom and i laid down on the bed. a few minutes later i heard the door open, zeref got in the bed next to me and put his arm around my waist and nuzzled his head into my neck.

"lucy?"

"hm?"

"how are you feeling?"

"horrible."

"its okay, you'll be fine." he kissed my neck and and rubbed my stomach. i fell asleep in his arms hoping to feel better when i wake up.
