You stood there, watching as the reflection of the sunlight glistened and trickled along the waters cool blue surface. The water was so clear you could see the bottom, where beautiful smooth stones lay. You placed one foot in, followed by the other and soon you were neck deep in the water. You moved around, your body and the waters body moving as one. You walked over to the fall where it was much more shallow. Waist high to be precise. All your stress and worries washed away as the water ran down from your head to your neck. You heard something get into the water, and it wasn't long before you felt a warm embrace. You popped your eyes open to see familiar arms wrapped around your waist. However they were not who you had hoped it to be. "Hello there my sweet." The man said. His grip grew tighter and his voice more dark and menacing. "You owe me something." He said running his hand down to your vagina, but before he could do anything you spun yourself around. "I owe you nothing James." You said glaring at the perverted man before you. For years James had wanted you as his own, taking any opportunity he had to get his hands on you. Some times you wish he had never helped you that day, otherwise you would no longer be his dept, and he could finally leave you in peace.

Flash Back

It was the night the army had come to give you the bad news. They had informed you there was a bombing in the medical bay and that your parents went back in to save some people, but never came back out. At first you didn't believe them, but in the horizon, far beyond the buildings and up the hill, you could see a black cloud rapidly rising to the skies. You quickly pushed passed the guards and ran through the streets towards the smoke, but the closer you got the further away it seamed. You didn't want to go back home that night. You didn't want to smell the lingering scent of your parents. You didn't want to hear their laughter echoing through the hallways. Or the voices of them telling you how much they love you. You finally sat down, crouched behind a barrel next to the local pub.

The night was cold and drafty, and all you had to keep you warm was a nightgown. It wasn't long before a young man stumbled out of the bar with two beautiful ladies in tow. One of the ladies had noticed you and smiled, she then nudged the man and he noticed you too. "Poor thing, I wonder where her parents are."

"Dead." The man said with a blank expression on his face.

"How about she comes home with us?" The other lady said almost begging him.

"Yeah, she would be a great addition to the family!" The other said.

The man looked at you, scanning your every detail. "Hm, she looks promising." One of the ladies then took your hand in theirs and you all started to walk towards an old looking house. You stepped inside surprised to see it was not what you expected. Moans came from all over the place. Men laughing, smoking and drinking with women in their arms. "Welcome to our brothel." The lady said pulling you closer so no one would try anything. "Don't worry." she said "No one will touch you, not as long as I'm here." She smiled and lead you upstairs to her own private room. She walked you into the bathroom and ran the bath for you. "You can use what ever you like in here." You scanned the room, beauty products scatted throughout the place. You grabbed the soap and lathered it all over your body. Once you were done you dried up and put on a fresh clean nightgown left for you on a small chair. "Are you done sweetie?" The lady called and walked into the bedroom. "There, all cleaned up now." She said with a smile gesturing for you to come lay next to her on the bed. "My name is Lucy what's yours?" You looked up at her and smiled "Y/N".

Years went buy and your bond with Lucy only got stronger. She taught you many things, like how to defend yourself, cook, clean, wash clothes and sew. People had even mistaken you for her child. But as you got older James grew to be a problem, he wanted you and your innocence. Lucy kept her promise, that she will always protect you so long as she lived. One night just before bed, you could hear James and Lucy arguing about you. "She's just a child damn it!"

"Well what use is it to keep her if she's not going to work!"

"She is working! She cooks for you! Cleans for you! Makes sure the clothes on your back have no holes! What more do you want!"

"Is she making me money! NO! So she can either leave, or she can pay her dept some other way!"

"You are not touching her." Lucy gave him a stern glare. The man stomped over to her, grabbed her by the neck and pushed her into the wall. "You're getting old Lucy. All those beauty products keep you young but you've lost what made you the best in the business." He leaned into her and whispered into her ear. "Your stamina." Lucy then bashed her head into his and he let go. "I may have lost my stamina but I haven't lost my charm or my fire. You will not take Y/N as your new toy! Not as long as I live!" She said walking out of the door, passing me but she didn't notice I was there. I peered back into the room to see James wipe the blood from his face and look up at me with a menacing grin.

Days went by and James and Lucy hadn't talked since the argument, but every time he passed by you, he gave you that same menacing grin. One night as you and Lucy were sleeping you saw a figure creep through the door, it was James, and you knew why he was here. He hovered over Lucy's body with a dagger in his hand and whispered to himself "If I can't have her when you're alive, then I'll just have to kill you." Just as the dagger was about to reach Lucy's chest you threw your pillow on top of her to block the knife. Lucy woke up startled, she pulled the dagger from the pillow, kicked him of the bed, picked me up and ran through the door. You ran and ran for hours until you found a small abandoned house in the country side not far from the city, but far enough from James.

Present Time

James pulled out the same dagger that Lucy had taken that day. "What have you done with her!" You yelled charging towards him. "Nothing she didn't deserve." You tried to activate your Imperial Arms but nothing happened, you looked to your right to see your imperial arms laying beneath your clothes. James then placed the dagger to your neck and lead you out of the water. "I finally have you sweetie. You're mine now." He quickly tied you up "Lubbock!" You managed to scream but he then knocked you out cold. "I have finally found you my sweet." He said before walking away with you over his shoulder.
