Lucy

I can't believe this. How can she be so unfair!?

"Oh, don't be upset, Lucy. Don't worry, I've got more torture for today and future days." Anna laughs and I grit my teeth.

I have to be strong! I can't let her have my power.

"T-Torture me all you want but please, don't steal away my powers." I said, spitting out blood.

She stands up from the chair and goes behind me.

"Agh!"

"How do you like that!? Huh!? I can tighten the ropes a bit more if you like!"

She tightens the rope and I can feel them starting to burn my skin.

"Stop!"

Anna squeezes the ropes once more and sighs, satisfied.

"There. That will do it. I don't want you to die just yet when I torture you some more."

I breathe in and out, trying to contain my energy.

"Please, at least wipe the blood from my wrists." I said, nearly sobbing.

"No. I won't do that because it's a sign of pain. God, your hands are all bloody." Anna said, chuckling.

She walks in front of me and grabs the red cloth, revealing a box with weapons.

"Time for today's torture."

"N-No...please. Don't! No!"

Natsu

Lucy was fully healed. Her wounds were all cured and the scratches and bruises disappeared somehow.

"Natsu...come here." Lucy said.

We were in the bedroom and I sit down next to her on the bed.

"Yeah...what's up?"

"Do you...love me?"

I was taken aback and I looked at her.

"Of course I love you. You're my one and only."

I grab her hand and intertwine our fingers together.

"That's good to hear. Will we ever have a family?"

"Yeah...we will have a family. Why are you asking these questions?"

"Uh...no reason. I just want to know."

Something is strange about Lucy. She's acting differently.

"Is something wrong, Luce?"

"No, not at all. I'm just happy to be here next to you."

"Well, you are going to be next to me in the next two weeks because we're going to Hawaii! So let's just wait for that to come."

"Oh! That's awesome! I can't wait!"

"You already knew, Luce. What's with the sudden second reaction?"

"Uh, I'm just showing you how excited I am. Ugh, it's going to be a blast!"

"Yeah, I'm sure it will."

Three knocks pound on the door and the door opens to reveal Gray.

"Ah, sorry. Was I interrupting something?"

"No, Gray–"

"Yeah, Gray. You were. What do you want?" Lucy asks, staring threateningly at Gray.
