Lucy's mom died when she was 4 and as long as she can remember her father always blamed her, drank, and gambled. When Lucy was 18 her father was gambling with an important man named, Natsu Dragneel.
Lucy accidentally interrup...
Lucy's pov: I look over the bed to see Natsu standing up. My eyes widen and I scamper to the corner away from him. I repeatedly say I'm sorry as crying, begging him not to hurt me. "Woah! Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah! Lucy, why are you crying?! Please don't say sorry!" He says quickly as he begins to run over to me, but I flinch and I flinch hard enough to where my head turned so quickly I hit the side of it on the wall.
"LUCY! Stop it! It's just me! It's Natsu! Please don't freak out!" He says and he quickly kneels down to me and takes one of my hands in his, he then puts his other hand on my cheek. I continue to sob and shake as he stays calm to try and calm me down. "Lucy.. it's Natsu. Please look at me. I won't hurt you."
I calm down a little and look up at him in hesitation as hot tears stream down my face. He smiles and wipes my tears away only for more to fall. "Lucy? ..." he was at a loss for words. He didn't know why I reacted the way I did, but I do.
"I'm sorry, I tho-thought you'd hurt me.. like they did..." he looked at me shocked. "Lucy, why would I hurt you?! And who is 'they'? Those guys from last night?" I nodded "And my father.." again Natsu was at a loss for words. All he could think was to hug me and that's what he did. It was a tight, warm, and safe feeling hug. I never wanted it to end.
After a minute or two he released the hug and helped me up slowly. My legs were still shaky and I almost fell, but Natsu caught me. "Want me to carry you to the bathroom?" I simply nod and he smiles gently at me. He picks me up bridal style and takes me to the bathroom. He sets me on the edge of the bathtub. "I'll go get Keely, Hadly, and Nova to help you out alright?" I again only nod as he leaves.
Nova, Keely, and Hadly rush into my bathroom. "Good morning!" They say in unison. I smile at them and say good morning back. They help me strip and get into the bathtub. They begin to wash me and I mentally sweat drop.
There is no doubt that I'm going to have to get used to them bathing me.
Natsu's pov: I walk to my room and see Brett and a few other butlers cleaning the glass off my floor. I walk past them and into my closet. I got changed in there and started to walk to my door. "Meet me downstairs in six, Brett." I glance back at him and he nods. I walk downstairs and walk to the basement door Lucy has no clue about. It's in the west wing.
After the six minutes were up I saw a figure in the corner of my eye. I turn to the person and see Brett approaching me. "You ready?" He asked and I nodded. I open the door and we walk down. Once we get in there I turn on the lights. They weren't that bright though.
We headed to their cell which was all the way at the end. As we were walking down the long hall that still seemed dark even with lights on, Brett asked me a question "Natsu, when are you going to take it over as well?" I shrug and look at the cells "I'm not ready for that yet, plus now I have Lucy to take care of and I'm not putting her in harm's way." He stays quiet for a minute then speaks again "Wasn't your mother in it with your father?" I nod and look at him "Yes, her and my father ruled it together, but I don't want Lucy in that. She is far too pure for that. Plus I don't know how she'd react to me and our friends being apart of that." After that we didn't bring up the topic again.
We get to the last cell and I look through the bars to see all four of them still asleep on the floor. I grow angry just looking at them. I back away from the cell and quickly kick one of the metal bars with my foot. "Wake up you lousy bastards" the four guys sit up quickly looking around still drowsy. "What the- where are we?!" One states and the other three freak out. "THE FUCK ARE WE?!" They look at me and Brett. I glare at the one who jumped out the window with Lucy. He gulps and backs up, scared for his life to which he should be. "Open the door, Brett."
Lucy's pov: They get done bathing me after 12 minutes and help me out "Wow! I feel so refreshed! Thank you girls." I look at them and smile. "Anytime Lucy, after we get you changed into clothes let's bandage you back up." Keely says with a sweet smile. "Now come on! Let's pick out a cute outfit for you!" Hadly states excitedly. I giggle and Nova pulls me out of the bathroom straight to the closet.

I look in the mirror and fall in love with the outfit instantly "Wow! I love it!" They smiled as I admired the outfit until I heard faint screams. I snap my head in every direction. "Do you guys hear that?" They look at me confused and I shake my head "Sorry.. it must be my imagination." I laugh it off nervously.
I walk out of the closet and walk over to my bed. I was about to sit down so they could bandage my wounds until I again heard screams "Ok, I for sure heard that this time!" Hadly says and Keely along with Nova nod. I quickly run to my door and look both ways in the huge halls. "I don't see anything or anyone, but the screams sounded kinda... faint. Like they are muffled from underground."
Sorry everyone! I totally lost track in time yesterday and today! I hope everyone loved this chapter and it ready for chapter 10 tomorrow!
