Chapter 11

Lucien threw water at Lucy to wake her up. "Now, now you can't be asleep for the fun." He used her for a punching bag, punching her stomach and sides, a small trickle of blood ran down her chin. He took his knife and cut above her breasts. He whipped her more, whipping over her shattered knee. Causing Lucy to cry out. She was having a hard time staying awake. He stabbed her arms with his knife.

"Lucien, that's enough. You can finish her off tomorrow after the ritual." Tamlin said. Lucien grinned and nodded. Lucy's head dropped as she lost consciousness. Tamlin hit the button to lower her to the ground and left her there. Suddenly, they could hear yelling and fighting. They quickly ran to see what was happening. A group of mages were taking out their guildmates.

"HOW DID THEY FIND US?" Lucien yelled.

"I'm not sure, but they have most of the mages taken out already. I'm pretty sure the knights aren't far behind."

"You're right about that." Someone said from behind them. They turned to see Van grinning at them. "Presca now!" Presca quickly threw up a shield trapping them in place. He put magic canceling cuffs on them. "I love when we get the surprise on the bad guys."

"We aren't done yet. More came out of the surrounding woods." Presca said as he looked to where Laxus and Beck were fighting a few and Bix, Hestor and Ever were fighting a couple more. Cris and Freed finally broke through and ran into the cave. Cris could smell her blood and it made his stomach churn and his dragon whimper.

"Freed unlock the door please." Freed quickly unlocked the door with a ruin. Freed sucked in a breath when he seen Lucy. She was covered in blood. "Can you unlock the cuffs?" He nodded his head and quickly got the cuffs off her. Cris quickly brought his hands up and started to heal all the cuts on Lucy. She groaned as the pain lessened. "Starlight, can you hear me?"

Lucy furrowed her brows before slowly opening her eyes. "Cris!" Lucy sobbed seeing Cris and Freed. It still hurt when she tried to move.

"Where are you hurt? Other than the cuts."

"Right knee is shattered. Broken ribs, and both shoulders are dislocated."

"Freed I need your help to pop her shoulders back in place. Hold her like this. Lucy this will hurt for just a second, I'm sorry I have to cause you more pain."

"It's okay." He nodded, counted to three and popped her shoulder back in place. Lucy whimpered, and Cris quickly did her other shoulder. Then he healed her knee, and cuts on her back. Once done he took his shirt off to cover her up.

"Rest love, I got you." He picked her up and carried her out of the cave.

"I'm sorry, Cris."

"Why are you sorry? This isn't your fault." She nodded and tried to snuggle closer but whimpered. "Try not to move too much, you will be sore for a couple days."

"Cris take her home. We will finish here and meet at your place once we are done. Knights are on their way." Cris nodded and teleported them to his house. He took her to his room to relax and sleep.

"Let's get you cleaned up, and then you can sleep love." Cris said and kissed her forehead. Lucy nodded and Cris went and made a bath for her.

"How is she Cris?"

"She'll be fine in a couple days. She was bad. The only place that didn't have blood was her face. I healed her, I'm helping her clean up before letting her sleep."

"You have her keys. Call for Virgo. She can open her gate herself. She might come out since Lucy is your mate. She will help with Lucy."

"Good idea. Thanks Kaleb."

"Keep me updated on how she is doing."

"Virgo. If you can hear me, can you come out? I need some clothes for Lucy." Virgo came out holding some clothes.

"Do you need help with my Princess?"

"I can clean her up, thank you, Virgo." Virgo bowed and went back to the spirit realm. Cris carefully washed Lucy then got her dried off and dressed. It helped calm his dragon more, being able to take care of her. Cris stretched out next to Lucy wrapping his arm over her stomach. He fell asleep next to her.

The others just got back to the guild and found a pissed of Armen. "Why did none of my children contact me when Lucy was kidnapped? I found out from your uncle after they came to take away the mages!"

"Dad you wouldn't have been able to do anything! We didn't want to worry you."

"Lucy is MY daughter now that she and Cris are mated. I had the right to know and be here for support. Where are Cris and Lucy now?"

"At his house. Both are sleeping. Once they wake up, he'll let me know and we can go over to see them."

"I'm going now. I'll just stay in the living room and have Mr. Elan come and cook them something to eat. Thane, would you be so kind to go get Mr. Elan for me?"

"Of course, sir." Thane teleported to grab him and was back in a couple of minutes.

"Mr. Elan, would you please come with me to Cris's house to cook a meal for him and Lucy. I just found out she had been kidnapped the day before and is now home with Cris resting."

"Of course, sir. We can stop at the market to get ingredients on the way to his place." Armen nodded.

"Can we come with you, please?" Ever asked. "Lulu is my sister. I want to be there when she wakes up."

"Of course, dear. Let's go everyone. Are you coming now Kaleb or later?"

"I will be there as soon as I finish this report." Armen nodded, and everyone left to pick up food and go to Cris's.

Cris woke hearing people entering his home. He knew it was their family. He sighed, kissed the top of Lucy's head and went down to see everyone. He found everyone relaxing in the living room and heard a couple of people in the kitchen. He walked to the kitchen to see Mr. Elan and his father. "Hey dad, what are you all doing here?"

"We came to check on Lucy and you. Also, to make some food for when you're both up. Why didn't you tell me she was kidnapped son?"

"I wasn't thinking. The only thing on my mind was her. We have only been mated for a couple weeks and my dragon was a mess. I'm sorry I didn't reach out."

"It's okay. How is she?"

"She will be sore and tired for the next couple days. She lost a lot of blood. I'm not going to be able to let her go on solo missions for a while. I know she was caught off guard before she even had a chance, but..."

"I'm sure she will understand son. Why don't you go back up and be with her. We'll be here if you need us." Cris smiled and went back upstairs after stopping in the living room to say hi to everyone and let them know they could use the tv and gaming systems.

When he walked into his room, Lucy was trying to sit up. He quickly made his way over to her and helped her sit up. "You shouldn't be getting up by yourself yet Starlight."

"I needed to go to the bathroom. Could you help me? If not, I could ask Virgo to help."

"I will help you." He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. Once she was steady, he helped her with her pants and to sit down. Lucy groaned as she moved her arm to wipe herself. "You okay Starlight?"

"Yeah, I'm okay. Arms and shoulders are sore. I'm done." She smiled at him when he turned around. He helped her pull her pants up and wash her hands. He picked her up and kissed her passionately. Cradling her to his chest.

"Would you feel up to going downstairs and seeing everyone? Dad is here and has Mr. Elan cooking."

"I'd like to go see everyone for a few and eat something." He carefully carried her downstairs to the living room. She smiled as she seen everyone relaxing and watching tv. "Hey guys." She said softly.

"Lulu!" Ever moved over so her and Cris could sit down. Once they were seated, Ever pulled Lucy into a hug. "I'm glad you're okay." Armen was the next one to give her a hug. One by one everyone gave her a hug. Kaleb had Thane bring him. He got his hug in with Lucy.

Mr. Elan brought out two plates of food, one for Lucy and one for Cris. Then he went back to grab a couple more plates and slowly brought everyone a plate of food. Everyone talked while eating, enjoying the fact that Lucy was back, and they could all relax together. Halfway through eating, Lucy started to fall asleep. Everyone told her to get some rest and they would see her tomorrow. Once they left Cris carried her back to his room. He tucked her in, then decided to take a quick shower before laying down with her. After his shower, he cuddled up with Lucy and fell asleep. Lucy turned more towards him in her sleep.

The next morning Lucy woke up before Cris. She slowly tried to move out of his hold, but she was having trouble. She really needed to use the bathroom and didn't want to wake up Cris if she didn't have to. "How are you feeling Starlight?"

"I'm okay, still sore. I need to go to the bathroom."

"Do you want my help?"

"I'd like to try by myself." He nodded and sat on the edge of the bed in case she needed help. Lucy was slow to get up and into the bathroom. Once she was done, she walked over to Cris and sat by him. "Morning love." She kissed his cheek.

"Morning Starlight. I need to use the bathroom, then how about we go downstairs and get some breakfast?"

"Sounds good." He nodded and gave her a quick kiss. He carried her downstairs to the kitchen.

"What sounds good?"

"Pancakes?"

"I have the stuff for pancakes."

"Would you like some help? Do you have any bacon or sausage we can do with the pancakes?"

"I have bacon. I got this Starlight; I want you to rest as much as possible." He kissed her.

"Okay, I'll keep you company while you cook." She chirped happily. "Do you think we will be able to start my training in a couple days?"

"As long as you are feeling better, then yes we can."

"Okay!"

"Starlight would you be okay not doing solo missions for a little bit? For me? I know you can handle yourself, but when you were captured my dragon about lost it. Then seeing you..." He sighs not being able to finish.

Lucy got up and slowly walked to him. She wrapped her arms around him. "I am fine with taking missions with the Raijinshuu or you for a while. I'm sorry I was captured."

"Thank you, Starlight. It's not your fault. I'm glad you're okay and that you're back with me."

"I was thinking. How about I move in? That way we aren't bouncing back and forth between your place and mine. I can have Virgo start moving everything over."

"I'd love that." Cris smiled at her. He brought her a plate of food, they ate and talked about watching a movie after they were done. Once they were settled on the couch, Lucy kept rotating her shoulders slowly and twisting from side to side.

"You okay love?"

"Yeah, just sore. Hoping this will help some."

"How about I give you a massage?"

"That would be wonderful, as long as you don't mind." She said.

"I don't mind at all. Let's go upstairs it will be easier on the bed." She nodded and he carried her upstairs. "Take off your top for me, it will be better." She took off her top and yoga pants, then laid on the bed on her stomach. Cris went to get some massage lotion. He groaned seeing her lying on the bed in just her underwear. He couldn't help himself; he ran his hands up the back of her legs to her ass and squeezed. She let out a moan. He put some of the massage lotion in his hands, rubbing it to warm it up and started massaging her lower back working his way up.

"This feels amazing." Lucy moaned out. Cris smirked. Massaging her shoulders and neck. Down her arms and then back up. He massaged her sides, letting his fingers lightly run over the sides of her breasts. Cris's nostrils flared as he smelled her arousal. He moved down and slowly massaged her feet and then each leg. "Cris..." She moaned.

"Yes, Starlight." He said.

"I need you, please."

"Now now, I'm not done with your massage. I need you to turn over so I can finish." He smirked. She turned over and he started with her legs, slowly moving up. He massaged her stomach up to the bottom of her breasts, then started massaging her shoulders and going down her arms. He purposely skipped over her breasts for now. Once he reached her hands, he started to massage her sides up to her breasts. He started to slowly massage her breasts, slowly working towards her nipples. Lucy arched her back, wanting his touch. Cris brushed his fingers over her nipples. He then pinched her nipples, rolling them between his fingers. He leaned down and kissed her.

"Cris, please. I need you." Lucy moaned. He quickly pulled her underwear off, and his clothes. He made slow love to her; he didn't want to make her sore again by being rough. They cuddled together and took a nap.

"They will pay for ruining my plan!" Tamlin said.

"We better start looking for a new location and recruit new mages to help." Lucien said. "At least those talismans worked even with the magic canceling cuffs, and they thought we were arrested too."

"Yes, that is a good thing. It will give us an element of surprise. Let's get to work, I want to be ready by the next full moon." Tamlin said, Lucien nodded. They left Bosco for now, to work on their new plan. Tamlin grinned; they would be sorry for crossing him.
