Lucy's P.O.V.

I took a nice shower and got dressed putting on my boots in the bathroom refreshed. My ear picked up a zipper and something being opened. Instantly I forgot I brought my diary and novel. I wanted to catch up on writing and when I looked it was all burnt. "What did you do?! Natsu!! Y-you burned my pages?!" I didn't care that I was raising my voice I was furious. The hard work and dedication I did to complete The Adventure of Iris book. He seemed alarmed by my yelling and tried to explain himself. I held the precious items in my hands shaking.

"I'm sorry! I-I just wanted to read it! I guess I got a little too fired up..." Natsu said to me sounding sincere but I was crushed and upset. "You're an idiot! WHY COULDN'T YOU CONTROL YOUR MAGIC?! I HATE YOU! YOU'RE ALWAYS RUINING EVERYTHING!!" I snapped angrily and he sneered back showing his canines. I wasn't going to back down though he scared me a little bit. "EXCUSE ME?! I APOLOGIZED! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! IT'S JUST STUPID BOOKS! AT LEAST I AIN'T A WEAKLING LIKE YOU! I HATE YOU TOO!" He responds and I slapped him.

"I'M NOT A WEAKLING ANYMORE AND I CERTAINLY DON'T NEED YOU! I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS WEAK YOU NEVER HAD TO TELL ME THAT! I ALWAYS WAS!!" My bangs overshadowed my eyes instantly.

"YOU CAN'T DO A DAMN THING WITHOUT ME AND I'M TIRED OF SAVING YOU ALL THE TIME! SOMETIMES I WISH YOU WERE AS STRONG AS GRAY!! YOU'RE JUST A BACKUP ANYWAY!" Natsu scowled and that was the last straw. "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN GOODBYE NATSU!" I cried exiting the room in tears. His words stabbed my chest like a knife or punch to the gut. I couldn't believe we had our first fight. It doesn't help now that I had feelings for the male. My arms were freezing but I went to go see what was happening.

Outside the building

"Well, well seems you've decided to come on your own. Poor thing fighting with your lover is always tragic but it is of no use to me." A female's voice woke me up from my daze. I stiffened among seeing an enemy before me and glared at her. "Are you the one causing all this?! How could you kill all those innocent people?!" "It wasn't my doing but enough talk come quietly or I won't have to hurt you. I'm Shina cultist of the blood cult guild representing darkness. I'll put an end to your demise maggot!" She presented herself and I got my keys ready. "Your guild was quite bothersome too bad they all died."

"What do you mean?!" "It's exactly what I meant."

"STAR DRESS: CANCER FORM!" I transformed into my cancer outfit and held my twin scissor swords with seriousness. The silver haired woman with red eyes smiled maliciously. "A celestial mage How fun this'll be!" She attacked quickly slashing blades with mine. I dodged and swiftly tried to kick her but she threw her sword upwards as blackish-purple dark spears rained down. I look up in horror moving away and speed at her we clashed. I was pushed back but stayed determined. I saw Natsu not far from me and ignored him. I took all my frustrations and anger out on her. "STAR DRESS: SAGITTARIUS FORM STAR SHOT!" I aimed my golden energy arrows firing several at her hoping that did the trick.

Shina deflects it as they glide through her. My eyes shake in fear thinking my magic ability would work on her. "You really are weak to rashly attacking me with such useless power?" She mocked and summoned a large dark, long aura lance from her hand. "Star Dress: SCORPIO!" I changed and used the sand freely around me conjuring a sandstorm. She cut it in half as I flew inside of it. She blasted me with it, as her magic fused it. I got angrier not being intimidated.

"I'm me!! Even if I'm weak if it means protecting our guild... our family... I will fight you!! Star Dress Mix: Leo x Virgo Form!!" I lifted my fist feeling their magical powers flowing as they combined together. I smiled proudly showing off my skills. She narrowed her eyes for a brief moment.

"Light of regulus... Radiance of Spica... Leon-Maiden!!!" She stood there taking the onslaught but Happy was in her arms, unconscious tied in rope as a distraction in the midst of the scene. "HAPPY!!" I reached for him but she smirked as the decoy was gone. Her darkness cloud blocked over my light.

"YEAAAAAA!" A blood curdling scream came from my mouth as I was forcibly prepared for impact to the dirty ground, and tried to raise my body but I used to much of my celestial spirits. My vision blurred as I blacked out.

Third Person P.O.V.

"LUCYYY!!" Natsu bellowed and Gray who had just defeated his opponent appeared. A puff of smoke blocks their eyes as they ran towards the gate keeper. Both mages saw a figure standing in the middle of the cracked floor. "It's a good thing I came when I did. My bride would've been dead!" The perpetrator says carrying Lucy bridal style in his arms. He smirked, devilishly staring at the men.

"Who's that?!" The ink haired man asked the fire dragon as he balled his fists furiously. "It's that guy we ran into at the food court!! LET GO OF LUCY!!" Salamander ignited his flames and moved to hit him, but he was struck by a powerful force. The ice wizard was ambushed as an arrow pierced his chest. He plummeted downward. "GRAY!!!"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mathias Hormel I am the leader of the Blood Cult Guild and as expected I will be taking her and the orb. Her name is Lucy? What a lovely name for a beautiful girl like her!" Mathias stated with a vicious smile, as Shina summons the dark hands of shadows dragging the pinkette into a black abyss hole, he struggled. "LET ME GO!! WHADDYA' THINK YOU'RE DOIN' YA' JERK?! Why do you want her?!"

"I'd love to stay and chat but I must be on my way. Isn't it obvious? She has an angelic face. Didn't you hear me? I told you dragon slayer I'm going to make her my wife."

"DAMN IT! PUT HER DOWN!!" Natsu raged unable to detach his limbs. "It would be rude of me not to invite you to our wedding or your pathetic friends. You were pretty hostile toward me and now this is where we part ways." The master walked off, with Lucy as the slayer couldn't breathe losing the strength in his lungs as everything blackened. "L—Lucy..." His tan hand reaches outward but was swallowed no longer seen.
