The Starry Night

Fear the Unknown?

NOBODY'S POV

Rufus concentrated deeply, his eyes closed, as his magic surrounded Lucy. "I can only extract a few memories Mi'Lady. It seems whatever or whoever caused this definitely wanted Lucy to feel the pain." Rufus said, holding a ball that glowed. "Memories of the Unknown, show me the memories of the past." Rufus chanted as everyone crowded to see the mini-TV Rufus had conjured up.

*MEMORY ORB (LAME I KNOW!! XD)*

"Hello?" Lucy yelled, fear creeping its way into her voice. "ANYONE?" Lucy shouted, terror evident her face. "Hello Lucy. I've been expecting you." a dark voice rang throughout the screen. Lucy looked at the lady, her pure red eyes, her solid black body. "N-N-Nyx?"(AN: Media above is Nyx) Lucy whispered, her voice cracking as Lucy trembled. "Correct. I was needing a new toy." Nyx said, venomously. "n-n-n-no!" Lucy cried trying to run. Black fog surrounded Lucy as she screamed loud, her eyes holding true fear as she saw scenes from her abusive childhood. Lucy screamed one last time before collapsing to her knees, tears flowing from her eyes. 

TIMESKIP

Screams echoed off the walls, Lucy laid, beaten and bruised. Nyx bent down in the form of Zeref, which caused Lucy's eyes to widen and limp away in fear. Nyx disappeared in a cloud of black dust and appeared in front of Lucy as Jellal as Lucy curled into a ball and rocked around. 'Kami?' was Lucy's last full thought before her sanity crumbled. Lucy began rocking back and forth, shivering in fear. Nyx attacked Lucy and Lucy crumpled inward and Nyx dived in for the kill when a blinding light pushed Nyx. Kami held Nyx's fist as she pushed Lucy into a black hole where she crumpled in front of Gray.

MEMORY ORB END

There was a heavy silence as everyone looked at Lucy. Natsu punched a wall which caused Lucy to wake and see both both Minerva and Rogue. 'BLACK.... BLUE.. PAIN!!' Lucy's mind went blank as she ran. She bolted away from Minerva and Rogue, who's faces held remorse and sadness. She hid behind Yukino shivering. "What?" Yukino said, confused who hugged Lucy. She stroked Lucy's hair softly as Lucy calmed a little. Yukino saw a shadow and remained silent. Rogue approached silently but Lucy heard him. She screamed and ran out of Sabertooth straight into Master Makarov. "My child?" he said softly. Lucy saw his black vest and screamed bolted away from Master. She cowered behind a tree. Makarov requipped into his traditional white cloak and approached Lucy softly. Lucy's eyes held fear, but they softened at the sight of Makarov who had removed his vest. He approached Lucy and said, "Fairy's Sleep." A soft golden dust covered Lucy as she collapsed. Makarov caught her and saw Natsu, huffing. "Natsu, take her back to the guild.  TELEPORT: FAIRY TAIL." Makarov explained as he pushed the group of Natsu, Lucy, Yukino, Rufus, Sting, Rogue, and Minerva through the portal before following behind. "Oh my child, why must all the punishment come to such a pure heart?" Makarov sighed. 

*FAIRY TAIL* 

Natsu placed Lucy gently on an infirmary bed and clenched the sheets. "What did you ever do wrong, Lucy? You were so kind-hearted, even when I was a jerk. You still smiled and you saved us. You showed so much brightness. So much kindness. You forgave me even after all I did to you. What did you deserve to deserve this Luce?" Natsu said, breaking down into sobs. Rogue walked in and patted Natsu's shoulder. "I haven't known Lucy long enough, but I know she's an amazing person. She's definitely a fighter, I have never seen someone stand up to Minerva the way Lucy did back at the GMG. I know Lucy will pull through this Natsu." Rogue said, a tear someone sliding down his face. "Thank You, Rogue." Natsu whispered, craddling Lucy who screamed in her sleep. He stroked her hair softly and hugged her. She relaxed but her face showed her fear, the fear of the unknown.
