Me: let's st-*interrupted by story*

Natsu p.o.v

"DAMMIT!" I scream at the top of my lungs. "I'M COMING LUCY!!" I start running to the door but Erza holds me back.
"What do you think you're doing?" Erza asks.
"Going to save Luce, why are you holding me back?" I ask.
"Natsu, we have to think about this." Ice princess says.
"He's got Levy, I'm angry too, but Gray is right." Gajeel chips in.
"Shut up." I respond. Erza pushes me back into my seat. I take a look at Mel. She's sitting completely still, her hands in her lap, face down, her face expressionless.
"Is there a choice?" She asks in a flat voice.
"Mel?" Erza looks at her in confusion.
"The only way to save them...is for me to go." She replies.
"And give him what he wants?" Ice princess replies.
"Now I understand how Lucy feels..." she says. "It really is our fault..." a tear forms in her eye. "But if I go...no one will get hurt again!" Lucas puts his arms around her from behind and says something in her ear.
"It's not your fault Melody-San." Juvia says. "Juvia is sure we can figure a way out of this!" Melody nods but seems unconvinced.

Melody p.o.v

Hours soon pass by, they've come up with a plan...but it's going to work... Why won't they just let me go? It would make things easier...I could finally stop this, I won't let anyone down! I look at everyone's faces and grimace inside at the worried and stressful expressions on their faces. I place a hand on Lucas' arm, feeling his tight embrace. I play the words he said to me in my head over again and lean my head back, closing my eyes.
"I'm going to get a drink." I announce. Lucas lets me go and I head to the kitchen. I make sure the door closes behind me tight and sigh quietly. I walk to the cupboard, get a glass out and fill it with water. Then, leaving it on the side, I open the back door and leave.

Lucas p.o.v

I listen through the kitchen door. I hear the water run and then the back door open.
"If you'll excuse me, I need to go to the toilet." I announce.
"Thanks for that." Gajeel mocks.
"Anytime." I reply and head upstairs. I quietly make my way into Erza's room and head to her wardrobe. I quickly pull out some jeans, a top and a hoodie. Then heading to her window, I throw the clothes out.

I then head to the bathroom and flush the toilet. Then I head back to Erza's room and peer out of the window. The oversized hoodie was left lying on the ground, and the clothes I had thrown out had vanished. After sending a silent prayer, I head back down to the group.

Lucy p.o.v

The last thing I remember was descending down the stairs. Now I seem to be in the back of a car, with my hands bound, gagged and a bloody cheek. The car comes to an abrupt stop and I hit my head on the roof. The boot opens and a man, looking almost like a shadow, drags me out. He closes the boot and drags me across the floor. I force myself to stand up and walk. If I'm going to die here, I'm going to die with a little bit of dignity. Everything's so black out, despite it being evening. I search for the sun's location but it's hiding. We enter the graveyard and I shiver a little, graveyards and late in the day usually spells trouble. At least if I'm killed here I'll be near my parents.

He drags me to the far end of the graveyard and pushes me onto the floor.
"Wait." He says in a voice that makes me freeze. Soon later another figure joins us.
"I'm here." The figure says. The voice sounds familiar but I don't remember who's it is.
"I'm surprised you came...and alone too!?" The shadowy man replies.
"Many others will be too." The figure says. "Now release everyone, and I'll come quietly."
"As we speak, I have someone releasing your precious friends." The man says. "They'll be knocked out and dropped off right where we got them."
"And Lucy?" The figure asks.
"She was never part of the bargain..." the man replies.
"The terms have changed." The figure says. "Me or her. You can chose an alpha, who once mated with, will defend you till death, do your bidding and be over affectionate, or a blond girl, who will resist you for the rest of your pitiful life." The man grits his teeth.
"I refuse." He says. "Both or none."
"I cannot accept that." The figure says.
"You know one push of a button and I can have them all killed." The man says.
"And I've got my group on speaker phone right now, one word and they'll come charging out from nowhere." The figure says.
"You're bluffing." The man accuses.
"That makes two of us." The figure replies, not faltering in their tone.
"Fine, Lucy is free to go, but you'll be serving me for the rest of your life." The man says.
"Fair enough." The figure says. There's a sharp pain in the back of my head and I'm knocked unconscious.
