Tale of the Death God and Holy Dragon Slayer: Book 2

Chapter 20

Lucy (POV)

Flare has me super stuck. I try to fight back against her, she kills Auska. If I do nothing, she beats me to a pulp till she's satisfied and I lose. It's a lose lose situation. What do I do?

Flare- YOU READY BLONDE?!

I get whipped in the face by her hair and I fall to my knees.

Flare- RAAAAAAAAA

I can't do nothing but curl up into a ball as her hair whips me all over my body nonstop. I do my best to keep my screams of pain to myself as I'm forced to endure this while listening to her maddening laughter.

Flare- SCREAM!! I WANT TO HEAR THAT BEAUTIFUL SCREAM OF YOURS!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!

Her hair wraps my midsection and I'm dragged through the dirt and smashed against the arena wall.

Announcer- And just like that, the fight has switched gears. I'm not sure what happened but Lucy Heartfilia is on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown.

Flare- Still not screaming? How about this? (Hair catches fire) FEEL THE BURN!!!!

Seth (POV)

I look on at the brutality that's going on down on the arena floor. What once started out as a fight has now turned into a public humiliation at the expense of Lucy and its pissing me off to no end. I can feel my blood slowly boiling as I grip the railing harder and harder.

Seth *mind*- This.....this isn't a fight anymore. Lucy isn't fighting back for some reason outside her control. There isn't any other reason for her not to be. Someone needs to stop this right now. For fucks sake where's the towel so we can throw it in?! I can't watch this anymore! Enough is enough!!

I stand up out my seat and look at Mavis. She gives me a nod and that's all the confirmation I need. I turn and sprint out of the Fairy Tail box in the stands and begin making my way down to the arena floor.

Lucy (POV)

Lucy- (shaking from the pain) Ok. That's enough. I surrende-

Flare's hair wraps around my mouth, wrists and ankles.

Flare- I'm pretty sure I said no talking. Did you forget the rules? HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME? (Sadistically innocent tone) You can't surrender during the warm up. Not when I have so many delectable painfully things to try. Now be a dear and take your punishment like a big girl ok? And no talking. But you are allowed to scream and cry. (Releases hair from Lucy's mouth) Now let's see. What shall I have you do first hmmm? Peeling those clothes off and exposing you in front of everyone here sounds fun. Would you like to put on a show? Sure beats having to go to your onlyfans. But then again I'm feeling a bit artistic today a your body would be the perfect canvas. How bout I start with branding it with the Raven Tail emblem huh? Would you like that? Think of it as a souvenir that'll you'll have for the rest of your life. Now where shall I put it? Oh I know. How about I put it right on top of your Fairy Tail emblem?

Lucy- No! Please don't! Put it anywhere but there!

Flare- I TOLD YOU TO BE QUIET.

Lucy- Stop! Im begging you!!

I close my eyes and the brand is about to touch me.

???- LUCY!!!

I open my eyes and turn my head in the direction of the scream. It was Natsu and he had the strand of hair that was threatening Auska. He ignites it and the strand burns to ash.

Flare- HOW DARE YOU BURN MY HAIR ILL KI-

She stops mid sentence and it's like her voice catches in her throat. Instead of the creepy seething hatred she normally displays, it's replaced by absolute fear. Her eyes wide and mouth open screaming a silent scream. Her head seems to move against her will as it turns to face the pitch blackness that's coming from the tunnel that leads to the arena floor. I look there too and what I see will forever be burned into my mind for the rest of my life. Within that darkness I see Seth or something that looks like him.
