Water locked (Short Story, FanFiction)

chapter four

Hey guys. I'm sorry if you've lost interest in my story. I've gotten less and less reads for each chapter. But lately no one has given me any feed back about my story....

Fairy tail-

Natsu flexed his arm muscles making team natsu laugh at him. "Honestly natsu we're trying to finish a mission. Stop fooling around." Gray complained. Natsu shot him a dirty look. Gray leaned in closer to Natsu. "It's not going to impress her. Besides, she's got Bickslow." Gray whispered. Natsu instantly frowned. "She deserves me." Natsu quickly walked farther up ahead of Gray and their team mates, pushing through the guild doors. Lisanna shook her head slowly.

Master quickly burst through his office door. "Listen up you little brats! The council wants three different guilds to take down a dark guild that has broken way too many laws." He yelled bolting down the stairs. Standing on the last step he stood up straighter. "They have picked Saber Tooth, Lamia Scale, and Fairy Tail!  If you have any mission going on at the moment... Cancel it! We start training now!! We start the mission in one month. It's not much time, so no wasting anytime!!" Gramps yelled at the guild.

Gray stood up and smirked as he watched Gramps return to his office. "Alright guys let's get this training session stated!" Erza announced proudly.

Lucy's pov-

This can't be happening. I'm  part of a dark guild. Looking up i saw all the guild members looking at me.

"I am Master Luna, of Guild tenebris vitae. Here we treat each other with respect. You respect everyone here. You shall do what anyone tells you here. You're practically our pet. You most definitely and will not talk back." Luna frowned looking down at me from her raised balcony.

"And most of all." She growled, her eyes boring holes into my soul. "No happy thoughts" she smiled at me. The whole guild erupted into laughter. Quickly, I covered my face in embarrassment. "Now get to work. Don't bother us while we train in the other room. Or else." Dawn scowled tugging my hands away from my face.

Slowly everyone left the guild as i stood there looking like a complete idiot. What has happened to me? Why am I here? What have I done to get this? Is it because of Aquarius, was I not good enough? Was I useless to Minna?! No.

"Hey!" Abruptly my head followed the sound. Dawn. Letting go of a sigh I shifted over to her. She growled at me and gestured for me to follow her lead.  Slowly but carefully I walked over to her. "We'll show you how a real mage actually trains, unlike thos Fairy Tail scumbags. Grabbing my hand roughly she took me outside the guild hall.

Into what seemed to look like a training area that was caged up and there was most definitely blood spots on the muddy looking floor. Peering around I noticed this was like a small arena. There is even a large ratty old moldy green bleachers made of wood. "This is where we train noobs. The minute you step on this could be your last fight. We fight for ranks. The more battles you survive, the higher ranked you are here." She said pointing at the large animal like cage, that is disgustingly covered in rust.

"This over here" Dawn said breaking my thoughts, pointing at a large board made of old pieces of wood that had pieces of metal slates with names graved into them with other slates that had either a 'S' 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D'.

"Here is where I am." She pointed to her name which was pretty close to the top with her perfect black finger nails; that also had a 'A" next to her name

"This is where you are" she said gesturing to the whole shaky board this time. "If you haven't noticed  peasant, you're name is not on here with us for one simple reason...." she looked over at me dead in the eye. "You're an irrelevant scumbag" she smiled then started laughing that sounded more like an evil cackle from a witch in those old movies with warts on her nose. If only Dawn didn't look so pleasantly beautiful. I probably look like shit right about now, and for a while since I'll be in this hell hole.

Actually I'd rather be in hell. I'd burn to crisp and I'd just shrivel up and dissappear.

But that's not the point. I can't let her stupidly perfect face get under my skin. I have to keep standing. Maybe just maybe I can get out of here and find Natsu and minna!

They'll be suprised I'm still alive.

"Now Aquarius. Let's not waste any time and let's get you started on being perfect like me." She smiled at me as she made her way to the cage and opening a door that I didn't notice previously. Coming out the door from the guild came a man. Whose piercing blue eyes captived me instantly.

But besides him on a leash that seemed to be choking the young girl he was dragging behind him with not even one shit in the world. My heart broke when she looked at me and had tears streaming down her face. I studied them as they made their way to another building that had a large red 'X' above the creaky old wooden doors.

"Ha seems you noticed them." I heard Dawn from the distance. "Those pigs are named Allison and Jorge." I could just hear her cockyness dripping slowly from her raspy voice.

What has brought these people to be like this and hurt others.

"Now get your ugly ass face in here and sit down!" She yelled roughly grabbing me by my hair. I could just feel my blonde locks being ripped from my pale scalp. Now I could just imagine how I'll look, with blood dripping down my face.

"Stay in her for five days with no food. Only water. If you pass the test we won't kill you. You'll be out here with no shelter or anything to keep your ugly as warm. You're going to wish you were killed on the battle field. From now on, this will be your life. See you later" Dawn smiled wickedly then skipped away giggling as her hips swayed side to side.
