Alone and confused

Chapter 2

Lucy Lunges forward in her bed waking up, screaming and clutching her throat gasping for air with bloodshot eyes. The door to her room bursts open revealing a worried Sting. "Lucy why are you crying?" He asks, reaching a hand up to her face she feels water rushing from her eyes.

Looking up to meet Sting's worried gaze she explains while her heart is still beating erratically. "I had a nightmare, sorry for waking you up."

Her gaze falls to the blankets covering her to see that she is in a white baggy cropped T-shirt and a blue thong. "It's okay, go back to sleep alright? We're going to be going on a mission tomorrow." He said turning to leave but she jumped from her bed and wraps her small arms around his bare sculpted abs just above his boxers.

Slight pain erupts in her knees as a thud hits the ground under her knees but she didn't care as she kneeled behind Sting shaking holding onto him like a lifeline. "Please don't leave, I don't want to be alone right now." She says in a pleading voice which he heads her request following her over to the bed and laying next to her.

"Well since you wanted me to stay what do you want to do for you to go to sleep?" Sting asks while looking down at her from leaning on his elbow.

She thought for a moment before looking into his blue eyes with her captivating golden ones. "Why don't you tell me about how you became the master of Sabertooth?"

Sting chuckles before fully laying down with his arms stretched out which she take the opportunity to lay her head on his chest because for some reason laying her head on a males chest helps her sleep better. He lays his arm over her waist pulling her closer which she straightens her leg that is laying on the bed and stretch the other over his legs. "So first I was appointed as master by Minerva, but after that we were in need of a master so Rogue proclaimed I should be master and once everyone agreed I had welcomed back Yukino as my first act of being master, My second was that we act more of a family like fairy tail. We got more customers after our reformation."

The rumbling of his chest lulled her half way to sleep. "Thank you Sting, I think you'll get rid of my nightmares with the light you shine in so brightly." She mumbled against his chest.

"Your welcome Blondie. Get some rest now, I'll still be here when you wake up."

"You promise?" She asked furrowing her brows lightly as she try to battle the inevitable time kidnapper. Sleep.

"I promise I will be here when you wake up, then we will get Rogue and go on a mission." He said with a kiss on top of her head, and with that she fell asleep.

Watching them together infuriates me. Slamming my fist down on the arm of my throne cracking it, while gritting my teeth together. My brother walks into my throne room with a smirk. "What's got you so upset?"

Turning my gaze to the window showing all the fires over the lake outside my castle. Showing him Jackal outside exploding his bombs. "He's ruin perfectly great training grounds."

Zeref laughs turning to me with mischief in his eyes. "So? you love Chaos. It was your happy place."

Standing to my full height, I give my brother a bored look before walking off while saying. "Oh I still do but it's gotten boring. You wouldn't want me to get bored now would you?"

Walking into my room I make my way over to the window. Stepping through my window I materialize in the corner of Lucy's room. Sting woke up upon my arrival but didn't move so he wouldn't wake Lucy. "What are you doing here Natsu?" He asks while moving a lock of Lucy's hair from her face.

"I asked you to watch over her. Not fuck her any chance you get!" I growled through grip teeth.

"So if she approaches me with the proposal to share pleasure, you just want me to turn her down? When she could go and fuck a rando that could have a STD or even get her killed?" He questioned quirking a eyebrow.

Running my hand through my hair barely missing my dragon like horns. "I would prefer no one would but if she does then go ahead. I won't be happy but at least I know you'll keep her safe for me."

"Is that all Natsu because I'd like to go back to sleep?" Sting asks as he turns on his side while pulling Lucy and the blankets closer.

"I'll be in contact with you soon." I said before turning around and walking through my window to enter my bathroom and take a shower. While in the shower I slam my fist into the wall shattering the tile. Leaning my head on the wall I allow the tears to freely fall as every memory with Lucy replays in my head millions of times. "God dammit! I left to protect her, but I seem to only have caused her pain and suffering. I wish I could keep her safe on my own." I grit out, soon after the tears finally stopped I get out of the shower and only dress in boxers. Walking into my room I sense someone in here but don't turn around. "What is it that you want Ruby?"

A female demon looking rather normal in a kimono steps out of the shadows behind me with a bow. "My king, there is talk in the underworld of a girl surrounded by dragons and spirits. Now this isn't unusual but what followed is a demon is giving the same girl nightmares, repeating the same nightmare driving the said girl to madness which has always lead the girls to their deaths. This has happened many times before, but the demon had described the girl as a blonde girl with golden eyes and a perfect hour-glass-figure."

"Bring this said demon to my throne room, he will be dealt with immediately, just allow me to get changed." I said as I walk into my closet.

"Of course your majesty." Ruby left with a bow to bring this demon that has been torturing my love to a stop for good.

Putting on my usual outfit with my bandages left in my room, I make my way to the throne room, but am halted by Mard Geer after his hidden threat. "So what is it your planning to do? Eliminate every threat that bears it's fangs towards your girl while that dragon gets her all to himself? That doesn't seem very fair to me, but whatever if you want to loose the best queen you'd ever have that's on you."

"Is that a threat from you?" I ask not moving from my spot.

"No, just seeing what you'd do to me if I went after her." He said kicking off the wall and stops walking right after he passes me.

"You'd be dead before she even saw you." I said before continuing my journey to my throne room. Upon walking in I see a male demon kneeling on the floor before my throne which I take my seat in. "Do you know why you are here?" I ask the demon who only shakes his head. "You are here because you are being careless of who you show you curses to, and you could potentially drive my mate to madness."

The male demon looks down at the ground in thought before meeting my gaze. This action alone peaked my interest because very few dare to look me in my red terrifying eyes. "My king, I mean no disrespect, but I don't think you would care unless I was already tormenting her."

Extending my arm to the side, it is engulfed in flames, creating a sword of flames. Walking up to him I rest the sword on his nape. "Well do you have any last words?" I ask in a annoyed voice.

"Only that I'll kill her! Once my curses are activated there is no way to stop them! She'll die if I've already gotten to her!" He said looking at me from the corner of his eyes.

"Is that all? That's pretty boring but whatever." After saying I raise the sword and swiftly behead him.

"You know he's not dead right?" Rudy says walking to my side and having some maid demons clean up the mess.

"I hindered his plans, that's all I need for now." I said before walking over to my throne.

"If he's already gotten to your mate she's as good as dead. That's just a plain fact." Ruby says with a shrug.

Grunting I roll my eyes and grab Ruby by the wrist pulling her down and so she's looking me in my eyes. "Do I need to punish you for talking bad about my mate."

"How do you know she is your mate? Not someone elses?" Ruby dared to ask a question when she was so close.

I grabbed her by her chin and wrenched her face so close that I skimmed my nose along her ear before trailing it down to the column of her neck. "I know because when I received a threatening letter claiming they know who my mate is and they'd kill her if I didn't leave."

"How do you know it's her and not someone else though?" She took a sharp breathe in when I sucked in the lobe of her ear by the dangling emerald hanging from her ear.

"They said it was my best friend, so it could only be her." I growled before dragging a from behind her ear to the base of her neck.
