Fairy Tail: Clone Apocalypse

8. Are You Afraid of Me?

Let chapter 8 begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

~Erza's POV~

   We have been waiting a few hours for Gray and Juvia to get back to the guild. It was dark out and there was still no sign of them. " It's just one word, we can figure the sentence out if we put our heads together." I said, "Lucy, give us the first word. The rest of you say your word after her." 

   "You," Lucy said. We don't have the second word since Gray and Juvia are not here.

   "Kill," Levy and Gajeel said in unison.

   "Your," Jellal said continuing the sentence.

   "Envelope," Wendy said.

   " Partner," Mira said. This makes problems. The second word could be anything. It could be don't or will or some other thing entirely. 

   I stood up. "I'll go find Gray and Juvia. You guys stay here." I said as I walked away. I looked for what seemed to be hours. I called Gray and Juvia's name over and over not getting an answer. I began running since we don't have all the time in the word. I stopped because I thought I heard Gray's voice. I listened carefully hoping to here it again. "Juvia!" I heard Gray yell. I ran in the direction of the voice. I saw Gray standing with his back towards me. "Gray. Where's Juvia?" I asked. He turned around to face me. He had tear stains running down his face. "I don't know." Gray's voice cracked.

~Juvia's POV~

   I woke up in a strange room. I was laying on a bed. The bed was actually very comfortable. I got up from the bed and walked to the door and opened it. It was really quiet and the silence bothered me. I was walking down a long hallway. It felt like there were eyes watching my every move. Watching my every step. My every breath. I walked a little faster. Now I know what it feels like to be watched. I wish Gray was with me. "Gray-sama" I whispered. I kept walking and I saw stairs leading up and stairs leading down. I didn't know which one to take. I went to the stairs leading down.

   I continued down the stairs looking for an exit. It was a lot colder down here. After a while of searching and finding nothing I stopped. I could see my breath. It was getting colder the farther I went in. I turned around and walked back. I was going to go up the stairs this time. I heard foot steps walking from behind. I looked back and saw nothing. I heard nothing. I walked forward and I didn't hear the foot steps anymore. 

   Suddenly a cloth was wrapped around my mouth and nose. It smelled like chemicals and I passed out... I woke up to the sound of laughter.I was in a room. It was dark and the only light was coming from candles that were lit all around the room. My wrists where shackled with chains connected to them. The other end of the chains where connected to the ceiling. My feet where not touching the ground so gravity made my wrists dig into the shackles making my wrists hurt. I felt a liquid running down my arm. It was blood. My wrists where bleeding. I was still hearing laughter. The laughter was laughing at my pain. I looked around for where the laughter was coming from. I saw Lucy...No...Lucy's clone. She was laughing. Laughing like a mad man.

   In her hand was a whip. It had little spikes scattered everywhere on the whip. She stopped laughing. "Poor thing. Are you afraid of me?" The clone said with a smirk on here face. I stayed quiet. "Bitch!" She yelled smacking me across the face, " Answer me." I stayed quiet. She smacked me. "Why should Juvia answer you?" I asked. She smacked me again. My face was hurting. "Rule 1: Don't talk unless I ask you a question. Rule 2: I ask the questions, not you." The clone of Lucy said. "I'm not afraid of you." I said. She smacked me across the face once again. "Rule 3." She continued,"Don't lie to me." 

   "Juvia's not lying," I said. She smack me again. She continue asking questions and smacking me across the face. She finally stopped after a while. I counted every time she hit. She hit me 58 times. After a minute she snapped her whip at me. Right where she slapped me."Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed. Blood ran down the side of my face. 1. She snapped the whip again. This time hitting my leg. "Ahh!" I yelled as blood ran down my leg. 2. she snapped the whip at my arms. 3. She snapped the whip again. 4. And again. 5. Again. 6. And again. 7. She snapped the whip over and over. 8...9...10...11. Blood was everywhere. My screams echoed. I was in pain. 12...13...14...15...16. Over and over. 17... 18. 

   Snap after snap after snap. 19... 20... 21. After what seemed like hours she stopped. She whipped me a total of 237 times. I was a bloody mess. "Listen you fucking bitch! I need you to answer a question. Are you afraid of me?" She asked. I want to say yes, but what if she wants to hit me more because I am afraid of her. Also why suffer for something and in the end give up and get nothing out of it. "N-no." I stuttered. She whipped my back. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" I screamed. It hurts more because I have lots of cuts on my back. 238. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
