Thank you guys very much.
*No longer accepting Oc ideas.*
Lucy was in an apartment only a few blocks away from where she was being held captive for nine months. Currently, she was residing in her bedroom, shaking. Lucy's knees were hugged to her chest, as her back rested against the cold wall. Her baby, that was named Mizuki, laid sleeping soundly in a makeshift crib not too far away from herself. Lucy just woke up from a nightmare she had: Akuzo somehow coming back to life and capturing her all over again. Looking down at her scar covered arms, she began to relive the previous night.
The rape.
Losing so much blood.
Stabbing Akuzo.
Giving birth.
Silent tears washed down Lucy's cheeks, and her shaking intensified. All she wanted was for everything to be over and back to how things used to be: laughing and having a good time with her guild mates. Now, she sported a child and traumatizing memories. She was too young to even think about being a mother, but here she is.
Once Mizuki had been born, all Lucy could stare at were her golden eyes. Mizuki had been placed next to Lucy, and had been sleeping for the time being. Only until one of the older girls cleared her voice, did Lucy notice the two males in the room. The first, looked to be over twenty, while the other appeared to be fourteen or so. Just by seeing their young, masculine figures reminded Lucy too much of Akuzo. Not thinking rationally, Lucy began screaming for them to get away from her, attempting to jump off the bed she was in. Immediately, the child awoke and began screaming as well, and crying. The group was startled and didn't know exactly how to react.
The sudden pain that shot up Lucy's calf as soon as she stepped one foot off the bed caused her to go crumbling down to the ground, reopening a few of her wounds. Lucy laid on the carpet sobbing violently, propped up on her hands. But, being too weak to hold herself up right, she collapsed back down to the carpet. The pain Lucy felt was unbearable, and she allowed herself to fall into unconsciousness.
When the group of five regained their composure, the eldest girl spoke. "Well, Sophie, can you get the child to stop crying please? I'll be taking our guest into the bathroom to clean her up. Ai, come with me, kay? Boys," She turned to look at the males and continued, "I think she was most startled when she witnessed you two. Please, just stay out of her sight until I can get her story. By the looks of it, she's been through some tough shit lately. After that, we'll see what we'll do with her, she seems pretty helpless right now anyway." With the last sentence, the girl smirked.
As the girl was walking to get Lucy, the youngest boy spoke. "R-Ruko, a-are we gonna kill her? The baby, too?" Shyly, he looked down at his sock-covered toes and began wiggling them. The girl known as Ruko began dragging Lucy towards the bathroom door. "I'm not that heartless, Kenshin! I'm not one to kill babies, you know. We'll just.. See what she has to offer, and decide from there, alright?" Ai trailed silently behind Lucy.
Without waiting for a response, Ruko told Ai to shut the bathroom door. Ruko carefully stripped Lucy of her clothes, and ran a hot bath. "I don't think I can lift her in the tub by myself. So help me, would you?" Ruko picked Lucy up by her armpits, and as instructed, Ai followed by lifting her feet. Together, they carefully set Lucy down in the steaming water.
Ruko made sure Lucy was shampooed, conditioned, and scrubbed to perfection. Ai had been humming, while watching Lucy being cleaned. She even blushed while Ruko shamefully washed Lucy's nether regions.
Once Lucy was done with her bath, the two girls lifted the Celestial mage out of the water. Laying Lucy down on a towel, another was used to dry her body. "Okay, Ai. I know this is a lot to ask of you, but I need you to restore her health back to 100 percent, nothing less. This woman has amazing potential, I can just see it. So, please." Ruko looked to the third female in the room with pleading eyes. Ai tore her own gaze off of Lucy's naked breasts, and ran a hand through her own brown hair. "I-I suppose I can this once.."
Ai was a weak individual, but with incredible power. Power that could make her deathly ill if she pushed herself too hard. Ai pulled out the orange paint that allowed her to complete her spell, and wiped a thumbfull horizontally across Lucy's forehead. Holding her thumb to the middle of her own forehead, Ai cast her spell. "Agree to my will, and grant me access! Healing Stage: One Hundred Percent!" After completion, the orange paint began to glow.
Of course, using so much of her magic energy left Ai in a less-than-well state. Feeling completely drained, she fell backwards closing her eyes- only to land in Ruko's lap. Ruko sincerely smiled down at the girl, and ran fingers through her soft hair. "Thank you, Ai."
Although Lucy's body was littered with scars still, everything else seemed to go back to normal. She returned to a normal weight, and her breathing evened out. Even Lucy's womanhood regained its former glory. Unfortunately, her hair remained a mustard-y yellow.
Only a few minutes after Ai's job was done, Lucy groggily woke up. "W-what's.. Going on..?" First, sitting up, Lucy noticed she was again naked. Just like every day in that disgusting man's house. Frantically, Lucy backed away from the two girls in front of her, until she reached the edge of the tub. With the thud of her heartbeat in her ears, she barely heard the spoken words. "I'm Ruko, and this is Ai." Ruko motioned down to Ai and continued. "You have no need to be frightened here, okay? I just cleaned you up, and Ai healed you. There's another girl out there, Sophie, who's gonna take care of Mizuki until you're ready. And the two idiot boys will stay out of your sight until you say so, kay?" Ruko smiled at Lucy, and Lucy hesitantly nodded in return. "Th-thank you.."
Thus, leading up to now. Calming down, Lucy decides to bring out one of her spirits, considering she hasn't seen or even heard from them in almost a year. She shakily stood up, and walked over to where her keys laid. Taking out the desired key, she quietly summoned Loki, so the baby wouldn't wake up. "Open! Gate of the Lion! Leo!" On command, bright light shimmered in front of Lucy, and there stood the one and only. "Loki!" Lucy flung her shaky arms around her spirit, and sobbed into the crook of his neck. "L-Lucy.. It's.. You? Right?" He too wrapped his arms tightly around the blond, and rested his head against hers. "I-it's me! It's me!" She tightened her grip around his neck, and sobbed violently. "I've m-missed you s-so much!" Loki closed his eyes and smiled against her. "I've missed you too." Slowly, though, his smile turned into a frown and he released her.
Grabbing Lucy's shoulders, he held her in a tight grip. What Akuzo did to her flashed before her mind, and she panicked. "L-Let go of me!" Lucy struggling to get out of his hands was odd, but the Lion Spirit released anyway. "W-what happened Lucy? Why were you gone? None of us could force our gates open.. We- we felt your pain, Lucy, so tell me!" All of the commotion was too loud for the sleeping baby, causing her to wake and scream. Lucy's wide eyes darted to Mizuki, and she hurriedly walked over and picked her up. Hushing and rocking her baby, Lucy looked back up to meet Loki's wide eyes. "I-is that.. Yours, Lucy?" All he got was a nod, and he slowly walked over to the duo. "C-can I..?" Motioning to hold her, Lucy smiled and nodded and gave Loki the quieting down baby. "H-her name is Mizuki. She's.. She's mine and Natsu's child.."
Loki felt intense energy surge throughout his body once Mizuki's golden eyes met his black ones. "T-this energy, Lucy! It's incredible!" Lucy shot a confused look, "What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Loki frowned. "I'm feeling so much energy coming from your child, Lucy; I-I can't explain it.. It's almost overwhelming.." Feeling a little uneasy, a quiet Mizuki was placed back in her crib, to slowly close her eyes not long after.
After seeing enough, a girl with shoulder length dirty-blond hair scurried away to another bedroom. After entering and shutting a door, the girl walked silently to where a raven-haired girl was sleeping. "Ruko!" She whisper-yelled, "Ruko, wake up!" Groaning, said person came back into consciousness, and glared at the dirty-blond. Moving her bangs out of her eyes, she spoke. "Sophie, what the hell do you want?" Recoiling a bit, Sophie began pulling at her wrists. Nervous habit. Waking up Ruko was like poking a sleeping bear with a stick. "I-I'm sorry for waking you, but um, I just saw our guest summon.. A spirit I guess?" Once hearing that, Ruko awoke fully and sat up. "What did you say? Lucy summoned a spirit? Was it with a key? Did you see?" Sophie shook her head. "Also, the spirit was talking about such a great amount of energy coming from the baby that it was um, overwhelming. L-Lucy and that spirit seemed to be, well, very good friends."
Laying back down, Ruko smiled to herself. "Great job, Sophie. Thank you. We will definitely be keeping her with us." And with that, Sophie was sent off to go to her own room. I'm so glad she didn't flip out on me for waking her up, like last time! Sophie sighed, and smiled nervously to herself.
"Will you tell me what happened now, Lucy?" Loki asked with pleading eyes. They've both retreated to the small bed, and Loki held Lucy in a tight embrace. "I-I guess I could, I mean.. Will you please relay it back to the others? It's-it's hard for me to explain.. But, you deserve that much." All Loki did was nod and give Lucy an encouraging squeeze.
Over the next few hours, a story was told, many tears were shed, and a spirit was sent back to the Celestial World. By the time Lucy was actually able to close her eyes, it was becoming daybreak. Lucy didn't care that a faint light was peaking through the curtains, or that she now had the responsibility to take care of a child. She deserved some peaceful sleep, right? And so, Lucy drifted off into a soundless sleep.
A few hours later..
Lucy was seated on a couch, with Mizuki in her lap. She was feeding her child with a smile on her face. "I can't thank you guys enough for buying this stuff, really. I don't know how I could ever repay you!" On a separate couch, Ai, Ruko, and Sophie sat. Ruko smiled, then glanced to her sides at Ai and Sophie. "It was really no big deal; just trying to help out!" Flashing Lucy a fake smile, Ruko then cleared her voice. "Um, Lucy? Could you maybe clue us in on what happened before we brought you in? It would really help clear things up." Immediately, Lucy's silly smile turned into a frown and she put the milk bottle down.
Lucy's next look sent shivers down each girls' spine. "I was held captive by a sick man, and he did sick things to me. That's all you need to know." Lucy's sudden hard stare caused Ruko to gulp, but mentally scream: Yes! This girl is perfect!
"I-I'm sorry.." Ai said loud enough for only Ruko to hear, and held her head down. Ruko looked at Lucy with sad eyes, and asked a question Lucy wasn't expecting. "What happened to that man, hm? How did you get away?" Lucy returned her gaze to her daughter, and began feeding her again. "I killed him. He deserved it." A tear made its way down Lucy's cheek, but she wiped it away before anyone could catch it. Sophie and Ruko smiled to each other. "Lucy, could you tell us about that mark on your hand?"
Gasping inwardly, she remembered her guild mark, but immediately felt vile climb her throat. "O-oh! Oh. Fairy Tail. I unfortunately belong to a guild named Fairy Tail. They stopped searching for me after a while. I had a boyfriend there too. His name is Natsu." Saying his name brought a scowl to her lips. This time, Ai spoke ever so quietly, to confirm Ruko's next actions. "Do you, um, wish to join us, Lucy?" Lucy's head snapped back, and she questioned her. "What do you mean? Join you with what?" That's when Ruko joined in. She had to be careful how she worded it, or else she could send Lucy running. "The ones that live here.. We all stick together, in a group of sorts. And, we were wondering if you'd like to join us, since you're not going back to your guild. The more the merrier!" Sophie smiled softly, and waited for Lucy's reply.
Lucy contemplated for a moment. Joining them wouldn't hurt, right? I mean, it's not like I can just walk back into Fairy Tail. They probably don't even care anymore. Besides, these people are glad to help. Although.. They may not be trustworthy. But, if it means keeping my child away from those traitors, then, I guess.. "I.. Suppose I will." Ruko smirked, while Sophie squealed with glee.
Ruko moved from the couch, to stand up. "Alright, well. Last time you saw the boys you seemed kind of.. Freaked out, so.. Would it be okay if I brought them in here so you could meet them?" She asked cautiously. Lucy's oxygen intake began to quicken its pace, and she stared down at the ground. "I- um, if they don't come near me. Then yeah." A picture of Akuzo's smirking face above her while he pounded into her womanhood flashed through her mind, and a hand flew up to her mouth to muffle a cry. Ai was watching Lucy with a sad look on her face. She could only imagine what that man did to her.
Ruko nodded and left the room, to fetch the other members. "Lucy, uh," Sophie spoke, "Your daughter is so beautiful!" Flashing a smile, Lucy shakily looked up at the young girl. "T-thank you so much.." Lucy tried at a real smile, she really did. But what came out was a sloppy half-grin.
A few seconds later, Ruko walked in with the two boys trailing behind her. The first boy towered well beyond Ruko's height, and had short black hair. He was wearing a t-shirt that complimented his large muscles, and freckles littered his cheeks. He's so handsome! The boy behind him looked like he was even scared to walk in this room. He also had short hair, but his was brown.
Ruko directed the boys as far away from Lucy as possible, and she let out a long steady breath. "Okay, Lucy! This is Ren. He's twenty-three." She pointed to the tallest man. "He's a really sweet guy. I'm sure you'll get along perfectly! " Smiling, she introduced the smaller boy. "And this timid shit is Kenshin. He's only fifteen. He's got brains of a scholar, though."
Both guys awkwardly smiled at Lucy, and gave a wave or a "Hello." Lucy only nodded in return. These guys could try to rape her like- No. Lucy, stop. You have your keys with you this time. Nothing is going to happen. But, I had my keys last time too, and I ended up being captured, and-and- Before she could think anymore, she yelled, "Stop!" A string of curse words rung under her breath as Mizuki began crying. Rocking back and forth to calm her daughter down, she apologized under her breath while looking shamefully at the others. "No.. worries..?" Ruko's statement came out more like a question, but she made up for it quickly after. "Wait! I never even gave the girls a proper introduction! Well, first off, I'm Ruko. I'm twenty-four, and the oldest." Her smiling quickly faded when she heard Sophie mumble a "And queen bitch around here.." That caused Ai to giggle, and Ruko to send a death glare over to the girls. "That little shit is Sophie. She's fifteen too, and quite obnoxious." Smirking, Ruko then pointed to Ai. "And this youngster is Ai. She's the youngest here, at thirteen. Ai's a fragile little girl, so be careful with her." Ruko then ruffed up Ai's bowl cut, dark brown hair. "R-Ruko! Please stop!" Chuckling, Ruko stopped.
Putting her hands on her hips, Ruko smiled at Lucy. "So, there ya have it, Lucy! And little Mizuki. Welcome to the gang."
Akuzo's Hideout
"Akuzo, I'm here!" Aimi called down to the basement. The front door was left wide open, which the purple-haired woman thought was strange. Akuzo rarely left the house for much of anything.
"Are you even down here?!" Aimi stepped down on the first step, and immediately got a face full of putrid-smelling air. "Euhh! What the?!" Pulling her sleeve to cover her nose and mouth, her eyes widened. "Oh, no! Please not her!" Rushing down the rest of the steps, Aimi let out a tiny sigh. In front of her laid the bloody corpse of Lucy's captor. Walking over to where his body was, she chuckled. "Ha, Akuzo, you fool. You actually got what was coming for ya, huh? Good for her." Looking around, Aimi noted that Lucy killed this man brutally. "I just hope she's alright."
Coughing, Aimi retreated to the third step before looking back down at the mess. "Should probably clear this up, so.." The woman closed her eyes, and held her right hand towards his deceased body. Swipped it downwards, she chanted, "Erase!" Hurrying back up the steps, she heard the wind of the portal that would suck anything out of its range, and teleport it to wherever it teleports things to.
Sassily slamming his front door shut, she smirked to herself. "You did one hell of a number on 'em, kid."
Do you guys think I should add a small chapter with the descriptions of the OC's?
Review!
Mizuki is translated to "beautiful" and "moon"
Arigato, and until next chapter!
