A new Lucy

Chapter One – Prologue: Abandoned

I simply couldn´t believe that it had come to this, not after everything we had gone through. Phantom lord, Edolas, the grand magic games…

Team Natsu plus Lisanna had gone on a mission to take out a dark guild and with Erza and Natsu on the team it shouldn´t have been much trouble. But everything went wrong, even from the beginning…

We found the dark guild without much trouble, but they were much stronger than they should have been according to the request note. We split up; Gray and Erza took on the lower floor while Natsu, Lisanna and I went to the second one. But they were too many of them…

Gray was taken out and Erza supported his unconscious body while she yelled up to us that we had to leave, that they were too many and too strong. Natsu yelled back that we were coming and that she should get out. Just as we were about to follow her someone grabbed me by the hair and pulled on it until I screamed in pain. Then a rope came around my neck and a man´s voice yelled towards Natsu.

"Hey you! I´ve got your little friend here; you´re not going to leave her here with me are you?" He taunted Natsu but I wasn´t afraid, I knew Natsu would never let me be taken as long as he could do something about it.

"Natsu come on we have to go! There are too many of them, we can never defeat them. I´m scared! I don´t want to die again! I just got Elf-nii-chan and Mira-nee back…" Lisanna screamed and she really sounded terrified but when Natsu turned his eyes towards the floor for a moment I saw an evil glint in her eyes that told me she wasn´t scared at all.

She just wanted me out of the picture so that she could have Natsu´s attention to herself. It didn´t matter that I had told her that I only saw Natsu as a brother, she saw me as a threat anyway and jumped at this opportunity to get me out of her way. Natsu looked up at me with sad eyes and I felt panic fill my body, he really was going to leave me?

"I´m sorry Lucy, but I can´t risk losing Lisanna again… Forgive me." And with that he turned his back on me and led Lisanna out of there, leaving me behind.

I was shocked and it seemed like my captor was as well because it was silent for almost a minute before he chuckled and spoke.

"Well what about that… And here I thought that Fairy Tail was famous for how they treated their nakama… Guess you´re really coming with me then girly." And with that he hit a pressure point on my neck that rendered me unconscious.

When I woke up again I was chained to a wall with magic suppressing cuffs. Everything hurt and I realized that they had beaten me while I was unconscious. I could tell that I still had my keys but because of the cuffs I could only feel that my spirits were there, I couldn´t actually call them forth. It felt as if they were on one side of a glass wall and I on the other, they were banging on the wall trying to reach me but I couldn´t respond to them.

I realized that I shouldn´t give up hope, that Natsu and the others surely got back and told the others that I had been taken and that they were preparing to come for me. But somewhere deep inside I knew that I had been truly abandoned and that no one would come because no one would know that I was still alive.

x-X-x

About a week had passed and still no one had come for me. My captors were beating me and had taken a liking to whip my back until I lost consciousness. The first time they had used my own whip but Loke had forced his gate open long enough to grab my whip and my keys before it shut again. I had seen in his eyes that he had intended to save me as well but he hadn´t enough time, at least my keys were safe now…

My captors had talked about when the next full moon would come and I got the feeling that I wanted to be out of here by then but hopelessness and depression weighed heavily on me and I could find no energy to try and escape. I was close to giving up…

x-X-x

The night of the full moon came and my captors made sure that I was awake when the moonlight spilled down on me through a hole in the roof. I was on edge, I could feel that something bad was about to happen but I was powerless to do something about it.

"The night we have waited for has come, tonight we will know if we have been blessed as lykans or not. If our goddess accepts this celestial mage as our offering we will be blessed." The man who had caught me said to the others that had gathered in the room. I recognized them by voice, since they all wore black hoods that hid their faces in shadows.

He lifted a sword and started to chant.

By the power of the moon.

In the name of our lykan goddess Fenrisa.

We offer this human too you, so that we may be blessed.

He then slashed his sword at me and the sharp edge of the blade cut me across the face, starting on my forehead, going straight through my left eyebrow and across my left eye and then going down my cheek before turning towards my ear before the blade left my skin.

I had instinctively closed my eyes as the sword came towards me and now only my right one would open as I screamed when immense pain took over my body. There was much more pain than there should have been and soon everything around me faded away as I once again lost consciousness.

x-X-x

"Come on princess wake up, please Lucy…" I heard a familiar voice tell me when I started regaining consciousness. I slowly opened my right eye and met Loke´s worried ones. My first thought was how could he be here but then I realized that I no longer was in the dark and damp basement were the dark guild had held me captive, I was in the spirit world.

"Loke! What happened!? How did I get here!?" I asked him frantically while lightly pressing my hand against my injured eye, it hurt a little but not as much as it should and I was getting worried about my vision.

"Calm down Lucy, your other spirits and I combined our power to bring you here when the dark guild tried to use that spell on you. If the spell had succeeded they would all have gotten cursed with the lykan disease and you would have died." Loke told me and ran his hand up and down my back to calm me down.

"What´s lykans disease? And will my eye be alright? What happened to all my cuts and bruises? I should hurt much more than I am…" I asked him, hearing the panic in my voice.

"Lykans disease means that when the moon is out they would have transformed into wolves, gaining more strength and heightened senses. They would have been very hard to take down but thanks to us pulling you here the spell was interrupted. But since their goddess didn´t get her offering they should all be dead now." He paused and looked away before he continued. "I don´t know what will happen to your eye, you won´t be able to open it as long as you are in our world though. We made sure of that in case there is some magic left in there that could possibly harm you more, you will have to find out what the spell did to you when you are sent back to your body."

"What do you mean sent back to my body? My body´s right here…" I said and looked down on myself. My hair was the same, my skin still pale but the scars made by my captors were there now and I had lost weight but I was still me.

A hand landed on my shoulder and I screamed in fright, terrified that I was going to get hurt again. The hand released me as if I had burned them and I spun around to see that it was only Aquarius who had attempted to give me comfort. She gave me a sad smile and told me.

"We were only able to pull your spirit here; your body is still where you were before. You will be sent back to your body when it has healed enough but it might take a while, a week or so…"

I reached out with my hand towards her and she gripped it tightly while gently pulling me to my feet, Loke rising as well.

"But won´t my body die from dehydration and malnutrition during that time?"

"No your body is in a stasis like state right now and will be until your spirit returns." Loke reassured me and then looked uncomfortable for a moment before revealing another fact to me.

"Because we only pulled your spirit here this time instead of your whole body, one day here won´t be three months in the real world. This time it will be the other way around which means that you will be here with us for one year and three months before you can go back."

I was shocked by that revelation but despite everything that had happened to me during these last few weeks I accepted that quickly. It felt as if there was a blanket over all the hurt and anguish I had gone through and for as long as I was here, what I had gone through probably wouldn´t bother me. I would most likely still have to deal with everything when I returned to my own body though.

"Alright, what should we do during all that time then? Is it possible for me to train here with you and be stronger when I return to my body?" Aquarius smirked at me and said.

"That is possible; you want us to train you?"

"Yeah, I do." I answered confidently and smirked back.

Time skip 1 year and 3 months

Today was the day I was going to be sent back to my own body, I had spent the last fifteen months training with my spirits and for the first time ever I really felt that I was strong. I had increased my magic capacity and learned a few more spells of star magic like Urano metria as well as improved my strength and hand to hand. No one could call me weak anymore.

Loke had warned me that when I went back all of this would seem just like a dream with the difference that I would still have all my new abilities and knowledge. The spirit king had told me that in addition to the gold keys and silver keys there also existed five animal kingdom keys as well as a few other keys. I had decided to try and find those keys when I got the opportunity.

I was just hanging out with all my spirits when a tingling feeling overcame me and I started fading. I was going back to the nightmare I had left behind but despite that I smiled at my spirit friends. I didn´t know when I would be able to smile again after all.

x-X-x

I opened my right eye slowly and with a groan of pain I lifted my head just enough to look at my surroundings. I was still chained to the wall but every dark guild member that had been down here during the full moon spell was lying on the floor, dead.

The stench of decaying bodies was strong and I licked my dry lips to try and keep from gagging. That´s when I realized that I had gotten a set of baby fangs much like the ones the dragon slayers had. I also suspected that my senses had been raised but I wasn´t entirely sure about that yet.

I suddenly felt very afraid that I would turn into a wolf when the moon was out but as soon as that fear grabbed me, I heard Loke´s voice in my head, reassuring me.

"You won´t turn into a wolf, you might have gotten some of the traits though but you won´t fully turn. I promise."

I felt the fear leave me again, if Loke promised it wouldn´t happen it wouldn´t. A celestial spirit never broke their promises to their key holder. Suddenly the sounds of a few people entering the room above my head reached me and I froze in panic.

They could be from Fairy Tail here to rescue me but they could also be more members from the dark guild here to continue their torture on me. I held my breath as they found the stairs leading down here and as I heard them come closer and closer I could only hold my breath and hope for the best. I shut my eye again, too scared to actually watch whoever it was who was going to find me in this vulnerable position.

Suddenly the sound of footsteps stopped, I had counted them and thought that there were four people about to enter the basement. Then one of them spoke with a voice that I recognized.

"What the hell… I can smell a lot of dead bodies in the basement but also something that reminds me about… but that´s impossible, they said she was dead…"

"Who do you think you smell Laxus?" Another slightly familiar voice asked and when Laxus answered him, my blood went cold with irrational fear. If Laxus was here the rest of the Raijinshuu was also and they wouldn´t hurt me, so why was I still scared?

"It smells like Blondie."

Please let me know what you think! Is it worth continuing?
