The Starry Night

Helping Lucy

Nobody's POV

Cobra bolted to Fairy Tail. Master had explained everything to him, how Lucy returned, her condition, everything. For the past 13 years Cobra had been continuously going on jobs to pay Lucy's rent. In the end he bought the entire building. Cobra busted the guild doors open to see Master's face looking grim. "Where's Lucy?" he demanded. "She's in the infirmary, my child." Master said, sighing. Master followed Cobra, the guild realizing the situation. Cobra saw Lucy's face, her face contorted with fear. He pushed his way past everyone and leaped to Lucy's side. He stroked her hair gently, shushing her wails, comforting his mate. "What's that?"  Cobra said, picking up Lucy's keys. Lucy's zodiac spirits were blocked by a black and red key that glowed maliciously. "That's a Soul Reaper key. They're the most  powerful keys along from Forbidden Keys. There's no way Lucy could just find that. Someone is testing Lucy in a way." Master said, his thoughts racing. Loke's key glowed brightly but a black light emitted from the Soul Reaper key, causing Loke's key to stop glowing. Lucy eyes bolted open as she clutched Cobra's arm. "I'm so scared. The pain won't stop." Lucy whispered to Cobra. She saw Zeref and Jellal and tensed, she was trying to bolt but Cobra held her tightly. "It's okay. They will never hurt you. Promise." Cobra said holding Lucy, looking her straight in her fear-filled eyes. "I swear on Kami, Jellal or myself." Zeref said his hand reaching for Lucy's hand. Lucy tensed but relaxed when she realized the truth Zeref spoke. "I would rather die, than hurt you, Nee-San." Jellal said, hugging Lucy who was unfamiliar with such a warm feeling. "You promise?" Lucy said quietly. "We swear on Kami, No one in this guild or in this room, wants to hurt you, we want to help you." Master said gently. "O-o-okay." Lucy stuttered. She felt so unfamiliar with this kindness. She had been so abused, so tortured she had forgot the kindness that resided in people. "Cobra.." Lucy said. "Yes?" Cobra said hugging Lucy. "How do you tame the darkness?" Lucy asked. "You think of the people around you. The people who want to fight for you. That's the power no one, no darkness can ever take away from you." Cobra said, kissing Lucy. "I have to go then." Lucy said. She grabbed her keys and ran. "Lucy!" Cobra called, getting up to chase Lucy. "Leave her be. She's strong. I feel the old Luce coming back." Natsu said gently, placing his hand on Cobra's shoulder. "Okay." Cobra said, his eyes shining with pride.  Lucy arrived at the open field and grabbed the Soul Reaper's key. "Open Gate of the Soul Reaper, Lend me your power!" Lucy chanted and there was a cloud and a demon came out.  "Pathetic you summon me?" the demon said laughing. "I am Lucy A. Heartfillia, I am not scared of you and I am your MASTER!" Lucy shouted back at him. "I shall test you, pass and I am now your spirit. Fail and your life is the price. A little gamble?" the demon said laughing. "Deal." Lucy said, remembering Cobra's words. Darkness enveloped Lucy's eyes and she saw she was at the guild, 6 months after Lisanna had returned. "No." Lucy whispered. Natsu appeared and began beating Lucy. "WEAKLING!" "USELESS!" he kept shouting at her. Lucy screamed, "NOOO!" and thought of Cobra's kind face, the way he loved her, no matter how strong she was. The darkness faded and the demon said, "Very good, that was your warm-up. Now for your true nightmare." as darkness enveloped Lucy once again. Nyx appeared before Lucy, holding the same sinister smile, that scared Lucy. "BACK FOR MORE!!!"  she said sadistically. "No." Lucy whispered. But she remembered Master's words. She thought quietly, remembering Cobra's passionate gaze, Zeref's protectiveness, Jellal's humor, Erza's kind words, Mira's kind smiles. "You don't control me anymore! I can heal!" Lucy said as she punched the Nyx figured straight in the face. "Very good. I will hold my bargain." the demon said, removing the darkness away. "I am Lucifer. Call me anytime I do not care." Lucifer said, transforming into a teenager with solid black hair and red eyes. His demon horns stuck out and his wings were folded against his back. He disappeared in a cloud of black smoke and Loke appeared in a cloud of golden dust. "PRINCESS!!! Are you okay?" Loke asked. "I'm fine Loke. I missed you so much." Lucy said, embracing Loke as tears rolled her face. "No matter what, I'll always be there for you. We all will be there for you. Now go see Cobra. He must be worried sick." Loke said. "Okay. Close Gate of the Lion." Lucy said, walking back to the guild. She opened the doors and Cobra tackled Lucy into a hug. "C-c-can't breathe." Lucy choked out. "Gomene! I love you." Cobra said, capturing Lucy into a kiss. Mira squealed loudly as her camera went off as she muttered, "Colu babies, Colu babies." Lucy giggled as Cobra took her to her apartment.  He closed the door and looked at Lucy lust, evident in his eyes. Lucy returned his gaze as they shared a heated gaze. Cobra ripped off Lucy's shirt and left her naked. "That's not fair that I'm the only one naked." Lucy said seductively, ripping Cobra's clothes off.

*TIMESKIP to the MORNING*

Lucy woke up and giggled as she saw Cobra snoring away.  She yelped in surprise as Cobra, hugged her from behind. "Cob-" Lucy didn't finish her sentence before she bolted to the bathroom. Cobra saw her on her knees, throwing up into the toilet. He sunk to his knees, and held her hair back and rubbed her back soothingly. She stopped and said, "Get me to Wendy." before passing out into his arms. Cobra bolted into the guild gently setting Lucy on an infirmary bed. "Wendy, can you heal Lucy?" Cobra asked Wendy. "Of Course, Cobra-San." Wendy aid as she healed Lucy. Lucy opened her eyes and Wendy said, "Congratulations Lucy-San!" "What do you mean Wendy?" Lucy said, confusion clear in her eyes. "You're Pregnant, Lucy." Wedy said happily. "i'm pregnant?" Lucy whispered.
