The Zodiac Demon

Chapter 7-the demon

"What do you mean you're not Lucy!?" Levy exclaimed. The demon now in Lucy's body just smirked while letting out a small laugh

"I think I know. All of the physical changes that have happened to Lucy, they've been that...'thing's ' doing." Yukio said, grabbing his holstered gun incase a fight breaks out.

"Aw, I'm a 'thing' now? How hurtful. But, I do suppose I need a name now, with this new body. And, considering how I'm a demon and how this girl's name was 'Lucy', calling me 'Lucifer' seems appropriate, doesn't it?" she said, a smirk still on her face.

"Shut up! Just give Lucy back her body!" Rin shouted.

"Hehe. Sorry, but I can't do that. I still need it." Lucifer said.

"You bastard." Gajeel growled.

"Don't worry. I promise to take good care of this new body. Even if I'll make some new changes to it later." Lucifer said. Hearing that, Yukio finally pulled out his guns.

"Just tell us how you even got into Lucy's body." Yukio said, pointing his gun at Lucifer.

"Yukio!" Rin shouted, not pleased that he's pointing a gun at Lucy, at least her body.

"Heh. Want to know more about me, do you? Very well. You see, many years ago, you could say I was one of Satan's closest attendants. But, one day when my power had become a threat to his rule, he banished me from Gehanna. My powers had diminished once that happened. To regain that power, I went after as many sources as I could. Other demons, certain locations, even people." Lucifer began explaining.

"But that doesn't explain why you were in that mountain cave to begin with." Erza said. Lucifer's smirk quickly vanished.

"That's where the fun part ends. Many tried to defeat me, but none succeeded. But, then a certain Exorcist showed up. He didn't defeat me, but he ended up putting seal me, trapping me in the form of snake, limiting me to the small area of that mountain. After many years, those foolish wizards began sending me 'sacrifices'. Soon, I would've gotten bored, but then, they finally sent me this little gem." Lucifer explained, smiling again while running her hand through her hair.

"So that's how it happened. You got into her when she came after you the second time." Charla said.

"But, why Lucy? If you could just control anyone's body, why her's?" Wendy asked.

"Simple. I didn't want to take over just anyone. No one could survive against any of my simple attacks as a serpent, but when I found out this girl had left and willing came back to face me, I knew I found a perfect host." Lucifer said.

"You mean 'slave'. You just took over Lucy's body." Rin growled.

"Come now, I did her a favor." Lucifer laughed.

"A favor!?" Natsu shouted.

"That's right. Thanks to the sad loss of most of her memories, she was so confused and scared whenever little Rin over there wasn't comforting her. But, when things from her forgotten past popped up that he couldn't comfort her for, her mind became all the more open to me to the point where I was able to take over with ease." Lucifer said.

"Wait...so it was my fault?" Rin said, not comfortable saying it or even suggesting that.

"Heh. Who can say." Lucifer chuckled.

"You monster! You got rid of some of her memories all for the purpose of taking her over!? If that's the case, you would've been able to take over, no matter what happened!" Yukio said.

"Hehe. You were always the smart one, Yuki." Lucifer said, emphasizing his name. Hearing that, Yukio's nerves practically took over and he pulled the trigger. Lucifer's right shoulder jerked back, signifying that the bullet hit her in the shoulder.
