Chapter 4

Owwwww. How long was I out? Huh? Where am I again? Oh right Zeref kidnapped me. Ugh, my arms are hurting from, being chained to the wall for so long. My whole body is littered in bruises and cuts, but I guess it doesn't hurt as much as when I first got them. I was interrupted from my thoughts when I heard the door of the cell holding me open. Painfully I lifted my head and blood starting running down the side of my face as I glared at the woman who entered.

"Oh what a scary expression you're wearing. I would love nothing better than to break that fighting spirit of yours my little pet, but orders are orders and I won't betray my precious Zeref-sama. Now here drink." She said before roughly pouring the ice cold water down my dry throat. I turned my head to the side before spitting the water back out into her face. I could on glare on as I watched her face contort into anger, "Why you little…", SMACK. My face went to the right so fast my head it the wall.

I smirked before responding, "What is that all you got. Is that all the power you have- Ack" She forcefully grabbed my hair before lowering til her face was at the same level as mine.

"No, that's not all that got. You really know how to push my buttons don't you, Lucy Heartfilia. Awww, but what do they say about training a pet you first have to break them." As she let go of my hair and stood back up, the sound of her whip hit the floor before she raised her arm smiling evilly with her eyes soon as she brought her hand down, a black portal opened with Zerefvemerging from behind her.

"Kyouka I…"Zeref paused after taking in the scene before him. His eyes narrowed slightly before he closed them and sighed loudly. "Is it really that hard to follow my directions. I'm pretty sure they were simple enough instructions to follow. Do not harm the Heartfilia girl anymore while I'm away. You couldn't follow that." This caused Kyouka to blush in embarrassment.

"N-N-No Zeref-sama. T-T-This girl here pr-provoked me a-and…" Kyouka tried to respond before I interrupted her.

I looked at her innocently, "Ohhh how could lil' old me do anything of the sort. I mean my hands are chained to the wall and I can't move my legs. So how could I provoke you." mocking her in front of the one person she wants respect from. The look of absolute anger crossed her face and you could visibly see her shake. "What's wrong cat got your tongue?" That did it. Just as she was about to strike, Zeref stopped her by grabbing her arm and twisting it painfully making her cry out.

"KYOUKA! You should know better than to let yourself be taunted by this human. Do I need to trust someone else with this job you seem to be so incompetent at." Zeref glared, eyes flashing to red before going back to normal.

"No no, you can trust me I'll do better." Kyouka looked shocked and subtly glared at me.

"Well regardless I don't want anymore excuses. Now then Lucy…" Zeref set his menacing gaze towards me and it's then that I realised he was holding someone in his hands.

My eyes widened and tears threatened to fall, "Wendy…" I whispered so quietly that you would have to strain to listen.

"Ahhh yes, your little friend the sky sorceress, I was hoping she would persuade you into agreeing with my demands." Zeref chuckled.

"Lu-Lucy-san! Are you alright, I will heal you right away." Wendy tried to run toward me before she was unceremoniously grabbed by her hair. "Ahhh" Wendy's face contorted into pain.

"WENDY! Let her go. She has nothing to do with this." I screamed as I savagely tried to pull my hands free from the wall.

"Now now Lucy, let's not get hostile. We don't want anything to happen to your little friend now do we." He smirked making me cease all movement in fear of Wendy's life. "Good girl. Now as I was saying earlier,would you like to reconsider the deal I made with you. If not I can't say I don't know what will happen to her." Zeref spoke while cruelly pulling on Wendy's blue locks.

"Ok ok fine, please stop. I'll do…" I was immediately cut off from the sound of Wendy's voice.

"No Lucy-san, don't agree. I might not know what the deal was but it has to be evil. So please don't...AHHHHH" Wendy screamed, her hands reaching for her hair to try and lessen the pain.

"Quiet you little brat." Zeref said before throwing Wendy in the wall next to me.

"WENDY! You bastard, how could you."

"Oh well that was nothing. If you don't agree, I might send her to be kyouka's new play thing." I saw Kyouka's eyes sparkle at the thought.

"I would love to have her to. There's so much I can do with that little frail body of hers. OH my I get so excited just thinking about it."

"As you can see she might just get put through the same thing you went through or even worse." Zeref daunted on. I could only stay there paralyzed, remembering what i went through so far.

SPLASH. My head jerked up as I felt the contents of ice cold water get poured on me. "Huh! Where am I? The last thing I remembered before passing out was….ZEREF!"

"Oh you've awaken. Good, I have some things I need to discuss with you. I would like you to join me. So what do you say." He asked me, well more like demanded.

"NEVER." I said as I glared at him.

"You are really defiant. No matter I could change your mind. Kyouka if you would." Kyouka whose… SMACK. SMACK. SMACK. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt whips make contact with my skin.

"AHHHHHHH!" I screamed as pain overwhelmed my body.

"Uwah music to my ears. You have such a lovely scream." I could only stare on as women with a mask stepped out into the light from the darkness. "Do you like my whip? It's specially made with thorns for extra pain inflictions. Would you scream some more for me." SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

"UGH! AHHH!" The thorns on the whip pierced my skin making cuts appear. My blood was dripping on the floor overflowing from wounds.

"Yes, yes, that's the sound." Kyouka smiled.

"That's enough Kyouka." Zeref said raising his hand and stepping forward. "Now have you reconsidered my offer."

"N-N-NO!" I barely was able to get out. This caused Zeref to growl lowly.

"Kyouka, decrease her pain levels."

"Yes Zeref-sama." Kyouka responded before raising her glowing hand. All of a sudden the pain intensified and I let out an ear piercing scream. "Hmmmm that's music to my ears."

"Stop being so stubborn and join me. The pain would end this way." Zeref sighed.

"I would rather die." I spit out with so much venom in my voice glaring at them both. My eyes looked like fire was burning in them.

Kyouka started laughing maniacally "That could be arranged." She grinned evilly, wrapping the whip around my neck choking me.

"Ugh, ugh, ack…" I started coughing severely my vision fading out.

"Enough Kyouka. We need her alive." Zeref spoke darkly.

"B-but my lord she…" Kyouka stuttered.

"Now Kyouka. Don't make me ask again." Zeref said with his magic level rising dangerously, engulfing the room in darkness.

"Yes my lord." Kyouka released me and I started taking in mouthfuls of air.

"Whether you like it or not you will join me." Zeref started.

"N-N-N-Not likely." I whispered out. My vision blurring and their faces started merging. Just before I passed out, I heard Zeref say one final thing.

"I wouldn't be so sure if I was you." He said before disappearing and my conscious left me.

After recalling everything they did to me, I had no choice but to agree for Wendy's sake. "You win, I'll join you Zeref." I said with tears falling from my eyes. Zeref started smililng uncontrollably.

"Excellent!"
