Nalu: It effects everyone

Chapter 3: Not who we thought.

"Well, you can actually fight. I never thought you could Lucy." I fall to my knees and start breathing heavily.

"Why are you destroying homes?"

"Oh I'm not. This is all an illusion. You see, I put a spell on the flier and as soon as you see it you'll go on it. You see, my magic drains other people's magic. I knew you'd bring that friend of yours as well, that's why I've keep fire as far away from here as possible." I feel myself start to get more and more tired. I know exactly what he's doing. He turns to the butler that he has brought, and is discussing something awful with him.

"Natsu, get out of here." I open the gate of Virgo. I whisper so quietly no one can hear me.

"What can I do for you princess?"

"Get Natsu out of here, as fast as you can please." I se Natsu is stirring a little bit. "Before he gets up please. Take him to a safe guild, fairy tail preferably.

"Are you sure? I can help you now if you'd like."

"No, get Natsu. Now!" I can feel myself become weaker by the second. Virgo picks him up and starts running, but not before Emil Grabs me and Natsu waked up.

"Lucy!" Natsu is trying to get out of Virgo's grip but I know that he is too weak and won't succeed.

"Bye Natsu, I love you." I know he heard me, he has perfect hearing. The last thing I see is Natsu crying. While I'm asleep I see my mother and father. It was the day my mom died, the last time I saw her alive. Then, I see my father. He was 'Love and Lucky.' He was just getting ready to leave when a dark guild comes in. One guy uses a spell to a young girl. My father runs in front of her before it hits her. He took the spell head on.

"Sir, why did you do it?" She asks him, tears are in her eyes.

"You remind me so much of my daughter." He looks up to the ceiling and then the next side of the room. "I know she's not dead. I don't know how, but my daughter is alive."

"Get up." I feel someone kick me in the side, multiple times. I sit up and see Emil standing by me. I have my hands bound behind my back and I'm in a dark cell. He kicks something at me. "Put that on." I look down and see I have no clothes on, and I don't have any of my keys with me. I put on what might as well not be considered clothes. Basically nothing is left for imagination.

"Mmm that's better." I look down at the ground and do my best to just ignore him. "Look at me when I talk to you!" Emil kicks me as hard as he can in my side. I fall to the side while he just kicks and punches me as hard as he can. Never once do I scream. He doesn't deserve that from me. "Ah good thing you don't scream. Now I know I can do anything to you whenever I want now." Emil leaves the room while I crawl to the corner. His intentions are clear, I'm a doll he's going to do anything too.

"I wish you were here Natsu." I cry for so long. I was at that place for a little over a month, 34 days, I was hurt and abused so much. He had touched me so many times, he did whatever he wanted to do to me. Some Days he hits me so hard I bleed or cough up blood. There were days I had something on, and days I didn't even have clothes on. One day, I heard someone scream and I heard people fight. I was in a corner crawled in a ball when Emil came running in, he tied my hands behind my back and kicked and pushed me out of the cell. I still hear people fighting when Natsu comes around the corner.

"Leave Lucy!" He runs and tries to fight Emil.

"Why would I do that? I have her for anything I want."

"Let go of her!" Emil kicks me to the ground, and kicks me in my gut. I cough up blood and struggle to breath.

"Natsu, go. I'll be okay." Emil kicks me behind me again. "I promise."

"No! I'm not leaving you again. Get away from her you jackass!" I can see a few veins in Natsu's forehead.

"Fire dragon Iron fist." Natsu hits Emil on the temple and he is knocked out. I see Natsu come next to me. He takes his jacket off and puts it over me. "You still look beautiful." He picks me up, but as he does I black out. I feel some tears land on my cheeks when I regain consciousness.

"Natsu, I'm okay." I lay my head on his chest. No your not. You were finally treated the way you should have been. You didn't even deserve that much. Why did you ever put him in so much pain of getting you back. Besides your going to break him if he has to carry you any longer. "Here, I can walk on my own." Natsu still doesn't put me down.

"Luce, you're so skinny. Did he even give you food?"

"He didn't give me anything good Natsu, but I'll be okay to walk on my own." I climb out of his arms and pull his jacket closed and closer to my body. My legs start to tremble from under me so I walk faster so Natsu doesn't notice. "Can we just go home?" I turn and and him.

"Of course. We can do whatever you want." I smile at him and take Natsu's hand. He leads me to the train station where we go straight back to magnolia. The train was a leaving late at night. Natsu laid his head on my lap while I looked out the window. I never did fall asleep, but I never felt more at peace then I did then. When we get back it was just morning.

"Let's go to the guild first." I whisper in his ear as we pull in the station.

"Okay." Natsu sits up and smiles at me. "Are you sure you don't want to shower or change into clothes first?"

"That's a good idea. Do you want to just meet up at the guild?"

"Sure." I do go and take a shower, but not before I cut my wrists. You deserve this.

"No I don't. I don't deserve to be in this kind of pain. Your wrong, leave me alone!" I scream at the water. "Leave me alone! Stay away from me!" I hug my knees to my chest, and I cry. I let myself be weak for a few minutes. "I can't do this. I want to go and see Natsu. I want to go back to the guild." I look and see how bruised all of my body is. I get up and put a cream sweater and a black skirt. I grab some some boots on before I leave.

"Lucy dear! You look so skinny." the little old lady says to me, but instead of listening to her I go and hug her. I missed walking by her fruit stand.

"I know, I promise I'll be fine. I really need to go now though. I'll stop by again later." I give her a light squeeze before leaving. I walk up to the guild doors, but for some reason I just don't want to go in alone. I hurry to Natsu's house to see if he's even home. I knock on the door and he does answer.

"Hey Luce," He smiles his perfect smile at me. Natsu moves aside so I can go in. "You look really great."

"Thank you. I'm so sorry I totally forgot you jacket. I'll bring it back tomorrow."

"Don't worry about it." Natsu takes my hands and leads me to his couch. "Luce, I'm so sorry. I should have been strong enough to not let that awful guy take you. I couldn't get out from his spell. I really love you but I can't protect you as well as I should."

"Natsu, I asked Virgo to get you out of there. I knew he might have hurt you so much worse than he did me..."

"What did he even do?"

"A lot." I look to my feet. God I'm so worthless now, there is no reason he would like after now.

"Lucy, do he touch you?"

"Yes."

"Did he-"

"No. He hit me, he kicked me, he starved me, he did everything he thought could break me. The entire time I never screamed, I never gave him the satisfaction to hear me in pain." I never realized it, but I was crying. I can hardly take it anymore. Before I know it Natsu picks me up and puts me in his lap and holds me while I cry. "I don't deserve anything anymore. I deserved what he did..."

"No you don't. Lucy, no one deserves that. And you are so strong to be able to survive everything he did. I saw how bruised you were from him. Luce, you are so strong, no matter what anyone says." I look up to him and he kissed me and I kiss him back.

"We should go to the guild." I stand up and take Natsu's hand and stay close to him the whole way
