Natsu and Gray raced towards Master. "Jii-chan! I know where Lucy is!" Natsu exclaimed. Suddenly the guild became very quiet. "What?" Someone squeaked. "I know. It's Zeref isn't it? I felt it too." Master said, his eyes still closed. "Yeah! And he's somewhere in the guild!" Gray said. Master shook his head, "It's no use. It's too faint." He said. Natsu's face reddened with anger, and he stormed out of the guild.

"Wait, Natsu!" Gray tried to follow him, but was stopped by Master's cane.

"Let him calm down." He said. Gray shook his cane off, "I can't believe you." He said with an angry expression on his face, before rushing out, calling out Natsu's name.

Lucy sat on the floor with a disbelief look on her face. There were 3 girls shackled to the wall, and Lucy recognized everyone of them. It was Erza, Yukino, and Juvia. All of them were badly wounded and dressed in only a blood drenched coat. "Erza! Yukino! Juvia! What happened to you?! Why are you here?!" Lucy rushed to them and shook them until they open their eyes. All of their pupils were blood red and they don't seem to recognize Lucy.

"Aren't they cute?" Lucy turned around, startled at the voice. It was a girl with long flowing black hair and elf-like ears, wearing a dark purple dress and knee high boots, leaning against the doorway, crossing her arms and ankles. "Who are you?!" Lucy yelled, flattening herself against the wall. "My name is Succubus. And by the way, you shouldn't be here, Lucy Heartfilia." She said, walking towards her. "I was kidnapped!" Lucy defended herself. Succubus stopped in front of her and bent down, "No, I mean, you shouldn't be here, in this room. This is Seraphine's Chambers. She'll be mad if she found you here, especially if you had touched her toys." Succubus said, glancing at the 3 girls, who went limp once again and had already closed their eyes.

"They're my friends! I can't leave them!" Lucy exclaimed. "Friends, huh?" Both Lucy and Succubus turned their heads to Seraphine who was standing by the door. Succubus straighten up, "Is she another one of your toys?" She asked.

"No. We need her for the project. She's a celestial mage."

"Oh, is that so?" Succubus glanced down at Lucy with a weird gleam in her eyes.

"I bet Morgan will be wanting to see you, after you've invaded my privacy." Seraphine scowled. "I bet it's another lecture about respecting other's privacy."

Succubus rolled her eyes, "I'm just telling the celestial mage here that she shouldn't be in your room." She said, walking out. Seraphine turned to look at Lucy, and she immediately trembled. "Well now that your spirits' been sucked out, I guess you're of no use now huh? You can be one of my toys. Be honored." Seraphine said and with a wave of her hand, shackles came out of the wall, capturing Lucy's wrist and ankles. "Here." Seraphine tossed Lucy a blood drenched coat, which put itself on Lucy's body. Lucy wriggled. The coat felt cold and slimy.

"You can do whatever you want with me, but release my friends!" Lucy exclaimed. Seraphine glanced at the 3 girls with an uninterested look on her face, "Oh, you mean them? Heh, I bet they don't even recognize you anymore." Seraphine approached Erza, who was the nearest to her. She grabbed a handful of Erza's hair, and the shackles immediately longered themselves, making Erza's knees touched the ground. But she was still limp. Seraphine pulled her hair, making Erza looked up. Erza slowly opened her eyes, but said nothing. "Erza? Erza! It's me, Lucy. Look over here!" Lucy yelled, trying to get her attention. Erza looked at her, but said nothing. Seraphine laughed, "See? Didn't I told you that she won't recognize you?" She released Erza's hair, and she was immediately pulled back to the wall by the shackles.

Suddenly the clock above the door chimed, indicating that it was 3 pm. Seraphine clapped her hands once, "Okay. Meal time!" She went to a cupboard, and opened it. Lucy froze at the horror she saw in the cupboard. Seraphine was swaying a little while humming as she took out 4 bowls and filled them with chopped up bloody meat. Hanging from the top of the tall cupboard was a person, who had been butchered so brutally that Lucy can't even recognize him/her anymore. The inside of the cupboard was splattered with blood. Seraphine took out a salt shaker and sprinkled salt over the meat. Then she put the bowls in front of them.

Lucy looked over to them, and saw that they had already opened their eyes, and was lowered to the ground so that their mouth can reach the bowls, but their hands were still restrained. "Erza? Yukino? Juvia? Look at me! Don't eat that!" She screamed, trying to get their attention. But they just ignored her screams and continued on with their meal. "You should eat too." Seraphine said, sitting on a nearby sofa. Lucy glared at her, "No way! Are you serious?! You're sick!" Lucy screamed at her. Seraphine's smile dropped. She stood up and approached Lucy, "Shut up and eat." She said, her face near Lucy's and her expression like thunder. Lucy gulped. A pair of shackles came out from the floor, grabbed her knees, and forced her down. Lucy turned her face away from the bowl.

Seraphine raised her leg and stepped on the back of Lucy's head, forcing her to the bowl. "Eat." She said. Seeing no way out of this, Lucy reluctantly ate the bloody meat.

"That's better." Seraphine smiled again, turning to sit again. "And just one, tiny, weeny house rule. No speaking." She said, "Speaking toys aren't cute." She flicked her finger and Lucy instantly felt intense pain resonating through her body, starting from her mouth. On the now empty bowl lied her tongue.

Seraphine had ripped out her tongue.

Seraphine laughed, stood up, and left.

The shackles immediately withdrew, strapping her to the wall again. Then the wall rotated and she was in a dark dungeon.

She sobbed silently in the dark.
