Warning! Swearing

{Unedited}

Zeref POV

I shake Lucy's body gently. "Lucy, we're here. We're back in Magnolia."
Her brown eyes slowly lift and she sits up, rubbing her eyes.

"Already..?" She says tiredly. "Mhm."

She stretches out more, a yawn escaping her lips. Her eyes quickly widened, and she looks over to me. "Uh, do you want me to drive you home or..?" I quickly shake my head.

"No, no, no! It's okay! I was going to go on a walk, then I think I'll walk home on my own."

"Are you sure? What if you run into-"

I quickly intercept her sentence and say it's fine. I sigh and walk to park to clear my mind.

Lucy POV

I quickly make sure Zeref is okay and nod after he starts walking away. My eyes quickly widen and my senses are suddenly alert.

Misaki.

Adrenaline runs through my veins as soon as I start running. After about three minutes, I get to the house and I barge through the door. "Sting! Are you here?!" I scream.

I hear scrambling and soon enough, I see Sting run up to me. "Hurry." He whispers quietly. I nod and follow him. I walk in and Yukino is treating Misaki's upper arm. I hear Misaki gasp in pain at the touch, but she bites her lip to make her focus on something else.

After Yukino's hand leaves Misaki, I quickly gasp. In Misaki's upper arm was carved letters of,

Devil's Child

I quickly run over to her, hugging her. Tears escape my as I hug her. "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask quietly gritting my teeth. "I-I'm Sorry..."

I look over at Sting serious. Yukino ushers is out and we oblige. "So she stayed the night right?" He nods while rubbing the back of his neck. "Rogue and Minerva are getting more pain meds form the store."

I nod understandingly. I look down until I hear Sting choking out words. "I-I'm gonna k-kill that woman."

"Did she say anything when you went with her?" Sting shook his head with a negative answer. "She looked really mad though."

I nod. "I have an idea."

"Lucy, are you sure about this..? I don't think I told but...s-she's an Akiyama! That woman never gets in trouble! No one believes me because my mom has convinced everyone I was suicidal!" She said unsurely.

I looked at her curiously. "Wait, Sting didn't tell you?" I ask, glancing at Sting. "Huh? About what? All he said was that I'd be surprised at what he could do." I look back at Sting. He shrugs.

"Not my place to tell." He says. I roll my eyes, before Misaki stops me. "This is it." She says plainly. I nod and look at Sting. "So what do I do?" Sting asks. I narrow my eyes.

"Hide in that bush or something." He huffs as he swatted down and Misaki and I walked up to the door. "I'm going to be a bit behind you okay?" I say calmly.

"W-What..? I'm doing this by myself?"

"Of course not! I'll come up after a few seconds." I reassure. She nods and I could tell it was forced. I give her a reassuring hug and smile.

She goes first and rings the doorbell.

The door slams open and I flinch. "Finally home! You little slut, you paid that man to sleep with you huh?! Disgraceful piece of shit!"

Go time.

I act like I'm out of breath and wave my hand. "H-Hey! Misaki! Wait!" I yell. Her mom's mouth drops to the floor as she see me. I hug Misaki and as I do, I whisper, "Play along."

She nods and I pull away smiling. "We can do this again right? Last night was really fun!" I laughed.

She giggled. "Yeah! I never thought about how fun a roller skating place could be!" She laughs. "Oh, remember when-"

I try to let her cut me off. She seemed to get the message. "-Sting fell!" We laughed. I look over to Misaki's mom. "Oh! How impolite of me! I'm Lucy, you are?"

The woman quickly touches up her appearance and puts on a sickly sweet smile. "O-Oh, I-I'm Akiyama, Y-Yuki Akiyama."

"Oh! I've heard of you! Your company sells electronics, no?" Her eyes gleamed at the recognition and I had to fight an eye roll.

She coughs, "Y-Yes. W-Would you like to come in?"

"Sure." I smile. Her smile widens and excitement fills her face. "U-uh, you may s-sit here, I'll go make some r-refreshments!" Yuki says as she scrambled off and I smirk.

Misaki looks at me in confusing and I wink at her, slowly lifting my finger up to my lips.

"Shhh"
