Phoenix Burns (FairyTail)

~Chapter 12~

~Lucy's Pov~ 

It had been many hours since Zeref took us all to our rooms. I was still up watching the moon started to fall as I was outside in the balcony wearing a long light pink night gown. "If only I wasn't torn between past and present" I whispered moving my hand up to the sky making it look like the moon was in my hand. "I miss all of you, even miss Loke's failed pick up lines" I then whispered as I took a deep breath. "Lucy" I heard Erza as I turned my head to see her leaning out her bedroom window staring at the sky.

"What has happened to you?" Erza soon asked as I knew the two boys must of been listening mostly Natsu. I moved my hand down looking toward Erza with a sad small smile. "Too much to list" I answered as Erza started to climb out the window and jumped off it grabbing the side of the balcony lifting herself up to be standing next to me. She was wearing her red pjs. "Lucy please give me some type of idea" Erza begged as I knew all she wanted was for us to be close as sisters like before. I knew she was looking out for me.

I knew she wanted to help me. I was broken. Too broken. "I was captured as a slave once by a human who had the magic to control one, he didn't just use me as a weapon....he beat me...he.....he took my virginity even......my first time ended up being rape" I spoke as she was staring at me with pure guilt and pity also a small mix of worry as she hugged me right away shocking me. "I-I wish we was there for you, I am so sorry Lucy......we failed you before...you got taken and we couldn't find you sooner" Erza spoke sounding as if she was about to cry.

I was in shock hugging back as my small sad smile just turned into a normal smile. "Erza it is in the past with it I got stronger, it being another reason I look up to Zeref he saved me from that man.....that monster even" I spoke pulling away from the hug moving to the side of the balcony and leaning on the railing. "Only thing that haunts me is what I did to you all and losing my keys, I know Gray told you and Natsu everything" I spoke as I felt Erza's hand on my shoulder. "We can find them again, we can take them back" Erza spoke.

"Jason has found a way to close the gates to the Celestail World all together Zeref and myself have been trying to work on it but with trying to help humans at the same time we came up with nothing" I spoke looking at the stars that were slowly being covered by clouds. Dark clouds as it looked as if it was to rain. "Erza.....I want you to get Fairy Tail to join my quest on saving the human race, it means teaming with Zeref yes but without him we will all die" I soon spoke looking at her.

"If you all are alive the Makarov who was capture and taken must of been the real Master...I can save him and Mavis but please the only way I can is if you all agree to this" I then informed her as she was looking at me with shock. "None of you will like Zeref, I understand that but please remember.....none of you would of been brought back without him" I spoke heading into of my room as I heard Erza climb to her open window. Once in my room I sat on the bed. I was unable to sleep that night.

It was normal. I normally couldn't sleep from nightmares of the past. By sunrise I was wearing my Priestess outfit in the training ground as Dimaria was walking over in her brown body battle suit. She had a golden metal arm but when fighting it turned into a huge gauntlet bigger than half her body. "So think you can handle all out?" Dimaria asked smirking as there was a crowd gathering. I noticed Levy, Natsu, Gray and Erza on a balcony watching. "Dimaria you would be killed that way but come at me as powerful as you wish" I answered smiling.

Dimaria made a golden sword bigger than herself show in her gauntlet. "Straight in with the sword? You are not trying anything new Dimaria?" I asked tilting my head slightly still smiling as I saw the Troll leader Johnathan, The Dark Fairy Leader Zatanna and the Monster Leader Phoebus all watching with the crowd. They wanted information on me. "I only lost to you Lucy plus I think you will like what I have planned" Dimaria replied as Irene came between us looking toward us both.

"Rule one, no killing. Rule two no destroying the castle. Rule three no hurting the watchers. Follow these basic rules and you shall be fine break one and suffer mine and Lord Zeref's wraith" Irene spoke loudly as Dimaria and I both shouted 'hai' as she moved backwards to be in front of the crowd. "BEGIN" she then shouted as Dimaria rushed at me heading in fast as I smiled standing in place until she got in my face. She was about to hit me with her sword until I had my leg high up blocking the hit.

Dimaria's eyes widen of shock as I sent a flame blast to her gut and face sending her flying leaving her sword behind on the ground next to me. "Dimaria I was able to see through that, move faster and be less easy to read by your face" I spoke as she was glaring toward me making the sword fly back into her hand. "Seems you are all full of it today" she spoke rushing toward me again as I laughed slightly. Dimaria looked as if she was about to swing her sword but it vanished shocking me as she punched me hard in the gut with her gauntlet sending me backwards this time.
