Chapter 1

The skies of Earthland were set ablaze as varieties of brilliant oranges and reds merged together to paint a vivid sunset over the muggy and heated land. Even though the sun's fiery rays of light had started to diminish, the remnants of its relentless heat licked at the enervated woman's battered back as she strained to move forward with what little strength she could conjure. The sun's earlier rays had all but scorched the bare skin that was left exposed by the tattered and blood-soaked remains of the blonde's small mid-drift tank top and all too short mini skirt.

The young woman inhaled a shaky breath as she trudged her way down the miniscule overgrown pathway. With every step she took she could feel the pinpricks of pain as the dirt and gravel ate at the bottoms of her bare soles, her body protesting with every single small step that she took. She used the pain to keep her fragmented mind occupied from the other various places on her body that were currently burning with excruciating pain.

Crimson droplets formed, and then slowly dripped to the ground as the mage held on to the right side of her abdomen. Even though she knew it was a fruitless attempt to cease the trickling flow of blood that oozed passed her slender fingers, she suppressed a sharp inhale of breath as she pressed slightly harder on the open wound. Blinding white spots assaulted the stellar mage's vision as the added pressure to her side caused her to falter in her steps from discomfort.

Her other arm hung loosely at her side while her shoulder drooped lower than the other. She clung to consciousness as her vision gradually faded in and out. The young woman let her body languidly fall against a nearby tree at the edge of the path, unable to walk any further. The blonde struggled while she dug her blood crusted fingers into the thick bark, using it as a support to slowly lower her body to the ground. Carefully she tried to position herself so as not to irritate her already throbbing side and hurt shoulder.

The celestial maiden carefully adjusted her body so she was lying on the ground before placing the hand of her uninjured arm back onto her gored abdomen. The blonde let out a sharp gasp, then relaxed with a sigh as her body made contact with the cool earth, which was a painful relief to her abused back.

The young woman felt her body relax while the slow trickle of crimson liquid seeped from her body to pool under her right side. The blonde patiently waited for the sky's brilliant display of reds and oranges to slowly be swallowed by the inky darkness of the night as the sun's final rays slipped below the horizon.

Though most people would dread the eerie darkness of the night, the celestial mage welcomed it wholeheartedly. She watched as the last of the sun's light vanished and gave way to gleaming stars that dotted the sky, making their presence known throughout the now pitch night. To the stellar mage, the night sky was even more endearing and beautiful than the setting sun, as she could now see her beloved constellations shining brightly. They shone with intensity- as if their heavenly light was a message for her and her alone.

The celestial mage let a faint smile slip across her now pale pink lips when she felt her keys warm up in her pouch, confirming that her spirits were in fact watching over her in this very moment. The blonde woman knew without a doubt that she would always be able to count on the love of her spirits- after all, they were some of her most trusted friends. They had been with her through all of her ups and downs in life and she couldn't be more grateful to them for standing by her side when she needed them most. She could only hope they knew she would do the same for any of them, as well.

At that thought, Lucy's mind slowly drifted from her faithful spirits to all her other friends she would be leaving behind as well. The blonde knew she had many people that were ready to help her if ever she told them something was wrong, but she just couldn't bring herself to push her burdens onto her friends and guild members. She refused to make them watch as she suffered from her scarred memories, and she would much rather suffer alone rather than drag anyone down into her spiraling chaotic mind.

The dying fairy didn't want to admit it, but ever since she had witnessed her future counterpart die during the eclipse incident, she had been haunted by the very memory. It disturbed her to the point of having repetitive nightmares of watching herself die, over and over again. The worst part of the nightmare was looking at the sadistic face of her murderer and seeing the cruel, satisfied smirk form on his face as her future self fell lifeless to the ground while the light faded from her eyes.

She recalled the memory of his crazed crimson orbs as they would narrow while they scanned the room, then inevitably would stop to scrutinize her, not the lifeless corpse on the ground. The petrified fairy could never pull her watery brown eyes from his terrifyingly hateful gaze.

His eyes, the same color as the blood pooling around future Lucy's lifeless form, sent wave upon wave of dread through her entire body.

The look he would give her made her spine freeze and her legs lock in place. His penetrating snakelike orbs would silently emit a threatening dare to her. Lucy could feel it within her bone that the male wanted her to try and stop him; he was daring her to stop the inevitable from happening.

No matter how many time she would have the dream- and she had them a lot- Lucy could never find the courage to move. She would always stay frozen in fear, staring into those piercing ruby eyes for what felt like centuries.

Then as fast as he would appear, he was gone. He would melt into the shadows while letting a maniacal bout of laughter ring through the destroyed room that she had become imprisoned in her own mind until she woke by the help of either Loke or Virgo.

The nightmares would always leave her with a bitter self-loathing and a need to prove that she was not a useless girl, and she could handle her own demons.

She did not want her nakama to know of the horrors she faced every night.

Unfortunately, that same desperate need to prove herself had simultaneously resulted in her dying in her own blood, and she could blame no one but herself.

The blonde swore she could hear the mocking laughter from the monster in her nightmares ringing in her head as he celebrated her impending demise.

The stellar mage let out a grief-stricken sob as the reality of the day crashed down on her in full force. She moved her crimson soaked arm to cover her eyes. She didn't even care if she bled out anymore, she would welcome death if that is what fate held for her.

Lucy wept openly into the forlorn darkness of night. She had been so close to proving to herself that she was not the weak little girl that she believed herself to be, if only she could have done things differently.

Lucy waved back to the mayor as she began her long walk to the train station just on the outskirts of the town of Achidea. She had just successfully completed her second solo mission and was eager to return back home to Magnolia to see her guild mates. Plus she had a sneaking suspicion that by now Natsu was bouncing off the walls ready for her to return. The blonde also had a hunch that as soon as she would walk through the guild's doors the dragon slayer would drag her right back out to go on another mission.

Lucy sighed while she rubbed the back of her neck, the stellar mage still had no idea how to tell the pyro she has no intentions of leaving her apartment for a while once she makes it back to Magnolia. After completing this current mission she had a plan to relax and take it easy for a while, as well as hopefully try to seek the professional help she needed for the sake of her mental health.

After all, the only reason she took these small solo missions in the first place was so she could save up enough jewel so she wouldn't have to worry about rent for at least two months while she tried to straighten out her messed up mind.

Because of the destructive nature of Lucy's team- Team Natsu, they have been known to cause more damages than necessary when completing a mission, whether it's on purpose or by accident. Of course, the destruction almost always results in the whole team either losing the reward money completely or even owing the town where the mission had took place.

No one could really blame the celestial maiden for wanting to go on a few missions by herself.

So, much to a very boisterous dragon's chagrin- but Master Makarov and Erza's approval, the blonde took two small easy missions by herself in a town neighboring Crocus in hopes of keeping the reward money for herself without having to worry about paying for property damages. The reward for completing the two missions would be well enough to keep her landlady happy as well as food in her stomach for a little over two months if she played her cards right.

The lovely sound of birds chirping filled the air as they flew through the sky over Lucy. The celestial maiden smiled while stretching her arms above her head in an attempt to realign her back. The bed at the inn she had been staying at had made her poor spine feel like it had been forced to lie on a bed of cotton covered rocks to say the least. Despite waking up on mattress that was less than comfortable, Lucy just knew today was going to be such a beautiful and wonderful day, because today would mark the first day of her trying to get her life back on track.

The sun was slowly rising, creating a beautiful golden glow down the small path the blonde had decided to take instead of the main road in hopes of cutting her travel time in half. Lucy figured if she could at least make the last train of the day, she would be back in Magnolia by the following morning. The celestial mage hummed softly to herself as she let the sun's warmth soak into her skin as she followed the path.

After the Eclipse incident, Lucy started to take notice of her behavior as it gradually morphed into something less than normal for her usually charismatic and cheerful self. Though she constantly tried to wear the mask of her former self while at the guild, she could feel her facade steadily slipping away bit by bit. Things that she enjoyed gradually became less interesting the more time past her by.

Every night after the incident, Lucy's dreams started to get worse. By the time two weeks had passed, her nightmares had succeeded in taking hold of her unconscious mind and seemingly made a permanent home. The fear of facing those unpleasant memories and images coming to her while she slept was more than the blonde could handle. Causing the terrified stellar mage to often forgo sleep altogether in favor of just sitting alone in her artificially lit room until dawn would start to break over the horizon outside of her apartment window.

Being sleep deprived, the blonde Fairy Tail mage started opting to stay home to take small inconsistent naps instead of going to the guild like she normally would. Eventually she stopped going to the guild altogether.

Obviously, Lucy's new behavioral developments didn't sit well a certain Fairy Tail fire mage. It took one time for Natsu to break into her home and startle her awake, causing the usual bubbly blonde to have a full on anxiety attack. Loke had to open a gate with his own magic to help calm her down before she 'Lucy kicked' the dragon slayer all the way to Lamia Scale in a fit of irate fright.

Though he was dense as a rock, the celestial maiden did know that Natsu noticed her odd behavior, but she often wondered if he wrote it off as her just being extra weird lately. As far as she knew, the fire breather had no idea what was going on with his partner and she was sure it frustrated him that she was acting so odd.

The young woman knew the pyromaniac would be raring to go on a mission soon, but she had been so distant lately that it was hard to even talk to him about anything, let alone her inner turmoil. If the slayer couldn't physically beat up the problem, then he wouldn't know how to help.

While Lucy was sure Natsu didn't have a clue what was going on with her, her celestial spirits were a completely different story. They could all physically feel her distress and one of them would often pop out on their own magic during one of her anxiety episodes to make sure she was okay. Loke- as the leader of the Zodiac keys- was especially worried for her mental health.

The lion spirit had wanted to tell Master Makarov as soon as Lucy started showing signs of her anxiety-induced nightmares; however the blonde had begged and pleaded with him to give her more time to try and get things settled by herself. Reluctantly, he submitted much to Lucy's relief and didn't bring it up again. The zodiac leader figured the best he could do was be by her side when another anxiety attack took hold of her, a comfort which the blonde was undoubtedly grateful for.

The last thing Lucy wanted was for her guild to find out about her inner turmoil and start worrying over her. So here she was now, taking small missions so she could afford to take a bit of time to recover from her emotional trauma without worrying about rent and the necessities.

Lucy was startled out of her thoughts when she felt a slight rise in magical pressure to her left; she quickly leaped out of the way just in time to dodge a sphere of charged magical energy. The magic sphere sizzled and popped as it collided and shattered into the tree that was directly behind where she had been standing just seconds ago.

The celestial fairy whirled around in time to see yet another sphere coming straight for her; she quickly unraveled her whip and sent the end slicing through the magic sphere made up of what appeared to be lightning magic right before it barreled into her. The blonde reeled her whip back in, readying for another attack.

"Wow, I'm impressed. I never thought you would be able to dodge that last one. You've got some skill, girl."

Lucy tightened her hold on her whip and held her other hand close to her keys, ready to call for reinforcement if necessary. The blonde felt her heart drop as she looked on in horror as not one man, but multiple large groups of men emerge from the tree lines.

Could they be part of a dark guild? Maybe they're bandits?

What do they want with me, anyways?

"Those keys look like they would be worth some money, boss, we should take them from her!" One of the men to her right yelled. Lucy tightened her hold on her keys while her eyes darted from one group of men to the next.

This is just my luck! I just had to run into bandits that just so happened to have magic in their ranks, didn't I?

She was just about to pull out a key when she felt the ground underneath her feet shift and give away to expose multiple giant vines protruding from the ground. The blonde screamed as one of the vines ripped her keys right out from under her hand, the force causing her shoulder to dislocate with a sickening pop as she toppled to the ground.

Lucy struggled to get back on her feet just as a vine snaked its way to her. The celestial mage let out a pained cry as one of the vines wrapped around her hurt arm and started dragging her up into the air. She kicked her feet out in a futile attempt to knock the rough green foliage away, but it was no use. It was at that moment, relief washed over the blonde woman as she witnessed the bright light of a gate opening and a blur of orange push past her to the mage controlling the vines.

She heard the voice of her lion zodiac as he landed a punch on the vine mage, who went surging back to the ground with a thump. The zodiac leader's attack effectively caused the thick foliage's grip to loosen enough for Lucy to fall back down to the ground. The celestial maiden had been expecting her backside to kiss the dirt once again but the pain never came.

She looked up to see that Loke had caught her before her body could fully meet the ground. Lucy looked over to where she heard the sound of men yelling in a panic as Virgo burrowed into the ground, creating multiple huge holes and trapping multiple men within their depth. She didn't even recall seeing the pink headed maid's gate open, but at that particular moment, Lucy didn't care. The blonde was just happy to see her two spirits.

"Don't worry, princess. We are here to assist you" Loke assured Lucy as he set her back down firmly on to the ground. Lucy looked from her shoulder to the lion's face to give him a small smile of gratitude.

"Thanks, Loke. I knew I should have called one of you out earlier." Lucy shook her head as she acknowledged her own mistake The blonde fairy had been considering calling one of her spirits out to keep her company on the walk down the overgrown path she used as a shortcut coming into Achidea at the beginning of her mission.

Loke started to turn back to face the vine mage but was caught off guard as a ball of white hot lightning collided with his torso. The force of the blow caused him to stagger back and drop to his knees as he coughed up a good amount of blood. Virgo looked up from the tunnel where she had just emerged and called out to warn him, but it was too late, think green foliage crashed into his bent body and wrapped its way around his middle as another smaller vine worked its way up to his neck. Both vines squeezed in unison, cutting off his oxygen. Loke's hands came up to wrap around the foliage attached to his throat, but no matter how much he fought he couldn't loosen the death grip.

The mage controlling the foliage willed the vines to push the spirit's body up into the air, and then forcefully sent him back crashing to the ground. The vines loosened their grip as Loke strained to force his body off the ground, but unfortunately his form started to fade in and out signaling his inevitable departure back to the spirit realm. His body quickly faded as he uttered words of apologizes to his master.

"I'm sorry Lucy, I shouldn't have turned away from a battle. That was my own fault. Virgo, make sure to keep our princess safe!" Loke called out to the pink hair maid. Virgo nodded her understanding as she jumped out of the hole she was in and stood in fighting stance next to Lucy.

The stellar mage watched the scene unfold in both shock and horror, everything had happened so fast that she didn't have time to register what was going on around her. She had called for Loke, but it was too late. He was already safe back in the celestial world recovering from his injuries, which that was a relief in its own way.

Lucy watched the lightning mage smirk as he started walking up to her. She struggled to get back on her feet, which was proving to be a bit of a hassle while having an injured shoulder. Lucy tightened her hold on her whip as she watched the man dangle her celestial gate keys from his index finger.

"My my, we have ourselves some fighters, boys! What do you say we have a little fun with these two?" Cheers erupted from the remaining men as the head mage looked at Lucy with a malicious gleam in his eye. The blonde felt a shiver crawl its way up her spine as her teeth clenched together while a cold sweat broke over her body. She had seen that look too many times in the past month. The look in this mage's eye reminded Lucy too much of the look the monster gives the blonde in her nightmare. The pink haired maid shook Lucy's uninjured shoulder lightly; the gesture snapped the fairy back into reality.

"Not a chance in your life. You're going to pay for what you did to my friend." Lucy defiantly swung her whip straight for the man holding her keys.

"Virgo, NOW!" Lucy demanded, causing the maid to jump into action. The pink haired spirit barreled down into the ground and dug a tunnel, effectively trapping and binding a few men as the ground crumbled beneath their feet. Lucy's attack served as a perfect distraction as the man holding her keys lost his footing while Virgo continued to demolish the ground from underneath his feet. The lightning bandit dropped Lucy's keys in an attempt to keep from falling down into another one of Virgo's holes and the blonde let out an internal cheer. Her keys were out of his filthy hands.

"Okay, now you are really starting to piss me off." The lightning wielder frowned with an agitated edge to his voice. He jumped back away from Lucy and gave her one last wicked smirk before he bent down to the ground. The vine mage stepped up beside him taking the same stance. The blonde scrutinized them as they put their hand to the earth and sent a pulse of their magic into the ground. Lucy tried to jump back away from the magic pulse but wasn't fast enough as multiple electrically charged vines shot from the ground. They snagged the blonde by the waist and coiled around her body as they sent waves of white hot lightning through her body.

She screamed out in agony and horror as she watched Virgo emerge from the ground covered in the lightening coated foliage as well. The celestial mage stared helplessly as the vines sent electric pulses through her spirit, making her convulse and arch up as the maid screamed out in agony. Virgo's body started to fade as she reached her physical limit.

Lucy watched as a sigh of relief passed her lips. Even though she knew they wouldn't die, she never liked seeing her spirits in pain. The blonde was glad the pink haired spirit was back in the spirit world, where she was safe and would heal from her wounds.

"Oh, the pink haired girl vanished. Looks like you're the only one left to play with now." The lightning mage sneered at Lucy. Brown orbs tried helplessly to hold in their tears as the electric shocks finally started to die down. The rough foliage pulled the blonde up higher into the air as several other vines shot up from the earth, each snaking around a separate limb and pulling.

Lucy let out a high pitched shriek as the animated undergrowth pulled on the wrist attached to her hurt shoulder, causing it to twist with another loud agonizingly sick pop. Lucy felt a wave of nausea overcome her as she braced herself for the onslaught of pain. The vines sent her body crashing into the ground before slowly dragged her back up again. She heard the lightning mage laugh as he walked closer to her restrained body.

"You've been such a naughty girl. Look, most of my men have been knocked unconscious thanks to your little pink haired maid." The male spat as he grabbed hold of her thick blonde hair to make her look him in the eye as he spoke. The celestial mage's eyes glassed over as the pain in her shoulder intensified when he forced her head down to his level.

"What should your punishment be?" he pondered as his eyes roamed over Lucy's overexposed body. Her clothes had started to tatter and rip from being tossed around on the jagged uneven ground, leaving her in a more revealing outfit than she originally put on that morning.

Lucy couldn't help the terrified feeling that washed over her.

He couldn't be thinking what I think he is thinking, could he?

Her once hazy mind had cleared almost immediately as she forced her eyes to focus and take in the sinfully vulgar look he was giving her body. The fairy's heart- that was still trying to get over the electric shock, raced at an irregular rhythm as it beat against her rib cage in sheer panic from the man's carnal eyes.

The celestial fairy became hyper aware of her situation when her honey brown eyes locked on to the man as he lifted his filthy free hand and settled it on her partially bare hip. Lucy felt a cold sweat form on her body as he caressed the soft exposed skin before forcefully grasping her hipbone and sending another electric pulse into her body.

The blonde convulsed as the lightning coursed through her body causing white hot pain to rip at every nerve ending. Lucy let out a piercing cry as the electric current raced from her hips to every other part of her body. Her fingernails dug into the flesh of her palms as both her hands clenched into fists, her toes curled as her back arched up making her body jerk as the convulsions died down. The men who weren't unconscious gathered around and laughed jovially as Lucy's eyes rolled into the back of her head.

The blonde Fairy Tail mage held back the sobs that threatened to overtake her body as her watery brown orbs leaked. She let her head fall forward to cover her eyes; she would not let them see her cry. She would never let them see her cry.

The mage circled her restrained body, using an electrically charged index finger to glide over her exposed skin. Lucy involuntarily jumped and whimpered as the small shocks caused pain to jump from one area of her body to another.

"I think I like the way you scream, you should do it some more." The lightning mage mocked as he put his palms to her back and sent more waves electric current coursing through her body. The stellar maiden cried out as his palm dragged down from her back to her waist then to grip her rear. Lucy saw stars as the searing hot lightning ripped every last nerve in her body, the blonde involuntarily pulled at the vines confining her, causing them to tighten their hold on her wrists and ankles. Lucy lost feeling in her arm when her shoulder made another pop as it was pulled too hard for the last time. She couldn't hold back anymore, the abuse was too much. Her eyes watered and she let out another deafening screech that died down to a sob.

"Boss, we are going to go set up camp a little further down the path. Have fun with her." Lucy heard a man speak as she listened the scuffing of boots on rocks as they faded away into the distance, the tale sign that people were leaving. She looked up only to be met with a glowing fist to the side; she swore she felt her rib break from the forceful impact. Pain shot through her body in a whole new way as she felt warm liquid flow over her hip and travel down her leg.

"Alright, I won't be too long. Brother, do you wish to stay or are you leaving me to have all the fun?" The lightning mage said looking at the vine mage from the corner of his eye.

"I believe I will go help the others set up camp, you can have this one." The vine mage said as he walked over to his brother and patted him on the shoulder.

"Just make sure to clean up your mess once you are done." He gave the lightening bandit one last smirk before looking back to Lucy, giving her a knowing sadistic look before he turned on his heel and started walking down the dirt path.

Lucy had a small glimmer of hope as she watched the vine mage walk away. She hoped that if he left the vines would loosen their grip. That hope was quickly snuffed out as she watched the mage disappear from sight and the vines kept their firm hold on her. The dread of the unknown made a small lump form in the back of her throat as she tried to keep her breathing as even as possible, an attempt that went forgotten as she watched the man pull a large hunting knife out of his pocket.

The knife gleamed as it reflected rays of the midday sun off its razor sharp serrated edge. The bandit tossed the blade around in his hand as he took his time slowly approaching her bound form; He was thoroughly enjoying the way Lucy's body unconsciously struggled to break free of his brother's vine magic. When he was finally standing directly in front of Lucy, he placed the dull edge of the knife on her face as he traced a stray tear as it fell from her eye, down her cheek, and off her jaw line.

"You really shouldn't have pissed me off, you know?" The man whispered into Lucy's ear as he took the knife from her face and slid it down her body. His free hand wrapped around her waist and caressed the small of her back. The blonde shivered as she felt the sharp edge barely graze her flesh as it traveled down the length of her body, then stop at her abdomen where he punched her earlier. Lucy cried out in agony as she felt the jagged point of the knife press slowly into her wounded side, she felt her flesh rip open slowly as every centimeter of the knife gouged its way into her already scorched side.

The blonde fairy tried to cry out but her screams were muffled as the man covered her mouth with his own. Her mind went completely blank as she felt his lips moving against hers. She tried to toss her head to the side, but the hand that was originally on her back came up and clamped around the back of her neck, forcing her to stay still. Lucy was acutely aware of everything, from the way his lips tasted like liquor and cigars to the feel of the jagged knife ripping through the innards of her abdomen. Lucy hated it all.

The knife was halfway into Lucy's body when the mage decided to send a pulse of magic through the blade. He let out a low moan as her body arched into his from the force of his magic entering her body. She strained against his grip as the current burned its way through the inside of her being. He swallowed her agonized cries with another forceful kiss and refused to remove his mouth from hers until the last of his magic dissipated and her body ceased its convulsions. Her body sagged as he stepped away from her, leaving the knife imbedded in her flesh.

Lucy's vision blurred as she forcefully jerked her head to look up as the sound of a zipper being undone reached her ears. Her eyes felt like they were spinning as she tried, but failed to focus on what the man was doing. The blonde felt her eyelids droop as her vision spun around in circles unable to pinpoint any single object that didn't blur or spin.

As her eyelids closed more, her blurred vision took notice to a flash of gold shining on the ground by the edge of the path barely visible through the overgrown grass where her gate keys lay forgotten.

Lucy could hear boots on gravel as he moved in closer to her. She felt his calloused hands roam over her exposed thighs as he slipped in between her legs to force them wider apart. The young woman panicked as she struggled harder against the foliage restraining her, a terrified sob ripped from her throat as she realized his sinful intentions. The screams of absolute terror and panic slipped passed her lips in hopes that someone, anyone would hear her cries of despair and terror. However, she was worried when they only seemed to excite the man more as he bent down to whisper in her ear.

"When I am done with you, you're going to wish you never even crossed paths with me." His putrid breath fanned against her cheek as he brought one hand to the back of her neck and grabbed her golden locks so he could crash his lips against hers once again. He swallowed her cries of pure panic as she felt his exposed hardened member rub against her thigh.

Lucy's heart was about to rip out of her chest as it beat faster and faster with every second that went by. The feel of the hardened appendage on her thigh made her gag as she felt the mage's muffled moan vibrate against her mouth. He licked at her bottom lip, demanding her to allow him entrance into her moist cavern. The blonde, however, defiantly clenched her mouth firmly shut in an attempt to force him away, but a rough push on the knife still embedded in her flesh had her gasping in pain. He used her cries as a way to gain entry into her sweet opening.

The taste of liquor and cigars made her retch into his forced kiss. She felt his tongue roam the crevices of her mouth as she refused to move a muscle. He removed his hand from the knife that was using Lucy's abdomen as a temporary sheath in favor to cup one of her full breasts as he bit into her bottom lip. The metallic taste of blood met the blonde's tongue as he kept up the assault on her tears pooled in celestial maiden's eyes as she was forced to take the rough abuse.

The hand in her hair loosened as he slid it down her back and past her rear to pull up one of her legs so her thighs further apart once again. A wave of shame and embarrassment formed low in the blonde's gut as she imagined the lewd position she was in.

"You won't even be able to walk when I am through with you. I promise I'm going to make this as painful as possible." He laughed as he moved his hands to undo the vines that were holding Lucy's upper half captive. She felt pain shoot through her shoulder as her injured arm fell to hang by her side when he released her from her confining restraints. She could tell that he thoroughly enjoyed every small whimper she made as he shoved her face into the dirt and he pulled both her arms behind her back causing the fairy to scream out in agony as he made sure to stretch her injured arm back even further than necessary.

He used one hand to bind her arms together while the other wrapped around her pelvic area. Lucy's face scraped against the dirt as he dragged her hips into the air. The position had Lucy feeling embarrassed and whorish as she realized her rear was sticking out, her torn mini skirt leaving nothing to the imagination.

She could practically feel his eyes roam freely over her raised backside causing more shivers to slip down her spine.

The Fairy Tail member tried to scoot away but the bandit effectively held her in place with her bound arms. He wasted no time as he moved behind her to grind against her with his engorged manhood, a deep throaty groan leaving the man.

Lucy let out a startled shriek when she felt his hardened shaft move against her as she felt him lift the back of her skirt to rest around her hips. Lucy shook violently from both anger and fear as his fingers grasped the outer edge of her underwear and tugged them over to the side.

Please don't let this happen to me! Please! I want to lose my virginity to someone I love! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! Why did I have to come down this stupid path!? Why didn't I just stay at home.

Natsu…

Anyone…

Someone…

Please save me!

Lucy sobbed loudly as she felt a breeze brush against her exposed virgin womanhood; she couldn't hold back the tears now.

He let out another lustful groan as he rubbed the bulbous head of his swollen member against her entrance a few times. The celestial maiden thrashed around against his firm hold as best she could with her injured shoulder. Her struggles were in vain as he brought his free hand down to push her head back into the dirt to muffle her screams and pleas.

Lucy was punished with a hard spank to her bare ass cheek as she felt him use his palm to spread her out for his eyes to see. She could feel it as he reared back before slamming his engorged manhood into her full force.

Lucy's back arched as her virgin walls stretched and ripped from the force of intrusion as he filled her once sacred area. Pain far more intense than she had ever felt before in her life wracked her body, causing her to kick her legs wildly against the vines that still were wrapped around her ankles trying to force the much larger man off of her as she threw her head from one side to the other crying out in agony as he started pumping viciously in and out of her soft velvet heat. The blonde felt a warm liquid run down one of her legs as his thrust became more erratic and forceful all while she thrashed about wildly until all at once her pain faded.

Numb.

That is how she felt.

How much time had passed since he stolen her virginity?

Ten minutes?

Thirty?

The fairy didn't know how long she had been lying on the ground with her face shoved into the dirt as the man above her thrust in and out of her body. All the young woman knew was that she had started to become numb to the intense pain being inflicted to her lower half, her screams had died down and she had long since stopped flailing.

She lay with her face in the dirt motionless as her molester impaled her body over and over again. Lucy's mind had shut down, she didn't want to feel or even think. At that moment, she just wanted to live in nothingness.

The lightning mage was nearing his end as he thrust deeper and deeper into the little blonde's tight heat. Every other thrust he would send a pulse of electricity through her core, causing the muscles of her sex to clench even tighter around his aching manhood. He moaned as her muscles clenched one last time around him before he felt himself come undone. He pulled out of the blonde just as his white seed started to spurt out in thick milky streams. He took his hand off the back of her head and started rubbing himself to make sure all of his seed emptied on her bent back.

The lightning mage snorted as he let go of her arms and watched as she lay motionless with her face still on the ground. He stood up over her while zipping himself back into his pants before kicking he blonde woman onto her back on the side of the path. Lucy's eyes hazy and glazed over remained open as they stared up into the afternoon sky.

The man bent down so that his face was directly over her, He looked straight into her eyes as he ripped the blade out from her side. He waited to hear her delicious screams tumble out of her pink lips, but they never came. The celestial mage remained still as crimson fluid flowed from the open wound the man had just created.

"You can go ahead and bleed out and die now. I'm done with you." The mage said as he straightened back up, clearly disappointed he didn't get the reaction he was hoping for out of her. With one last look over his shoulders and the reassurance that the woman would bleed out, he turned on his heel to head in the direction his brother and men went.

Lucy heard the sound of crunching dirt and rock and assumed her assailant was walking away, leaving her alone to die in the afternoon heat. The sun's relentless rays beat down on Lucy's defiled body as she remained lying on the side of the path, too shocked and pained to move from her spot.

She remained still.

In all honesty, Lucy wasn't even sure if she was alive until the shock and nausea finally took over her body. Her mind could no longer block out the pain she had endured during her abuse. Her shoulder ached, and her abdomen was screaming in agony while the lower half of her body felt like it was on fire, raw and in pain. The blonde honestly didn't think she could walk if she even wanted to. Adrenaline licked at her veins as she felt the sticky crimson liquid slowly seep from her wounds. She forced her body to sit up, being cautious to move slowly to avoid receiving a head rush.

Lucy looked to where she had caught a glimpse of her keys that had been forgotten amongst the chaos. The keys glistened as the sun's rays bounced off their gold and silver exteriors, beckoning her to come reclaim what was rightfully hers. She dug the fingers of her good arm into the ground as she slowly started to drag herself down the path. She grits her teeth to keep from crying out as every inch she drug her body, the stab wound on her side would tear open and fresh blood would gush out at an alarming rate. The celestial maiden took a labored breath as she pushed herself up to her hand and knees and crawled clumsily the rest of the way to her keys. Her lower half was on fire but she endured it because she knew she would have her keys with her soon.

Ignoring the shaking of her legs as the Fairy Tail member reached out to let her hand linger over the polished gold and silver, Lucy let the sickening feeling of realization hit her. She had gotten so close- to close- to losing her cherished spirits. She could no longer keep the tears at bay as she snatched the precious metals up to hug the key ring close to her chest with her remaining good arm.

The blonde wept as she let all her emotions crash into her for what felt like hours until she was reminded by a tearing sharp pain that she needed to do something about her abused abdomen. The celestial spirit mage struggled to rip off the remaining end of her halter top in a poor attempt to tie it around her throbbing side. She knew it wasn't ideal and the tie job was extremely sloppy given the fact that she was short an arm and clothing for that matter, but it would have to suffice. The makeshift bandage would only temporarily stem the flow, but it would have to be enough.

Her legs buckled under the weight of her own body as she attempted for the first time to stand on her own two legs. Agony licked at her nerves as the movement caused sharp pulsing pain to rip through both her abdomen and the lower part of her body. Lucy stood on shaky legs as she held out one of her beloved keys while letting out a whimper as she finally pushed past the pain.

"Open! Gate of the twins- Gemini!" The exhausted fairy struggled to keep on her feet as she watched Gemi and Mini emerge from their gate in a sparkle of golden light. The spirits quickly transformed from their usual floating celestial forms into a carbon copy of their keyholder. The Lucy double wrapped their arms around their shaken master quickly to keep the blonde from falling face first into the dirt.

"You need to get medical attention, you are severely hurt!" Gemini scolded the barely conscious blonde as they kept the mage grounded, being careful to avoid touching her unmoving limp arm. The spirits marveled at their key holder as she just let out a weak laugh before whimpering from the agony that shot through her abdomen from the gesture.

"I know, Gemini and I promise I will get the necessary treatment I need as soon as I finish what's already been started." The blonde mage wheezed as tried to hold in a cough before continuing.

"Will you help me walk down this path? I have some unfinished business and I need your assistance to end it." Lucy looked at the concerned face of her mimicking spirit. The blonde could tell that Gemini was having an eternal conflict because they wouldn't tell her no, but she knew they would much rather help her acquire the medical assist she needed.

"Please, Gemini… I need to do this." Lucy begged as tears started to form in her already red rimmed eyes. The blonde knew she was being reckless, but she didn't want to let that man and his lackeys get away with what they have done. For hers, Loke's and Virgo's sake- She would personally make sure that that man paid.

"Your magic is depleting as we speak, we can feel it. Whatever you are planning we need to do it fast before you completely drain yourself!" Gemini said with worry in their voice. They didn't want their precious master to get hurt anymore than she already was, and they also knew that she was running on pure adrenaline as it was now. However they couldn't defy their key holder.

The spirit's eyes scrunched up as they contemplated their options before giving a long sigh. The copycat spirit placed the stellar mage's good arm firmly over their shoulder and moved to help her walk on unsteady legs.

The walk was filled with silence and the sound of awkward footing on loose gravel as they headed back the way Lucy originally came from. The blonde had a suspicion that she already knew exactly where those low lives set up their camp. The pathway ahead cleared out to open into a small field and there wasn't a doubt in the blonde's mind that that is where they were planning on staying.

"Are Loke and Virgo okay?" Lucy looked over to Gemini concern marring her bruised and battered face. The spirits looked away from their key holder, not wanting to see the anguish that lie deep within those brown orbs.

The spirit couldn't help but think that was just such a Lucy question for her to ask. In this scenario she was more worried about her spirit's health than her own, and it deeply concerned the twins. Their blonde master was always so preoccupied with the wellbeing of others that she never stopped to think about her own health.

"They are healing up just fine, Lucy. You need to worry about yourself for now. You know all Celestial spirits will heal up in no time once we are back in our own world." Gemini deadpanned as the fairy turned her face back to the path. They had been walking for at least fifteen minutes and were finally nearing the field.

"Let's start walking through woods at the edge of the path so they don't see us coming; we have to be very quiet." The celestial mage whispered as she made an attempt to lean more of her body forward to try and walk on her own. Her legs had started to stop quaking while the pain in her nether region and side grew with every step she took.

Lucy knew she wouldn't be able to keep Gemini's gate open for much longer, so she needed to act fast and get it over with before she used up all her magic. Adrenaline licked at her veins as the two neared the camp of the bandits. Lucy felt fear and anguish wash over her already sweating body as they crept closer and closer to the booming sound of men's laughter.

The blonde felt her legs lock up while her whole body came to a halt as the voice of the man that had defiled her just hours ago met her ears. His laugh sent shivers down her spine as she took a hesitant step back.

Turmoil started to eat at the blonde's mind as she contemplated turning back while she still had a chance. The young woman started to have doubts as flashes of her assault flicked through her already scattered brain.

Could she really go through with this? Could she really take them out?

The pain in her side intensified as her breathing became shallow and sweat broke out over her forehead. Gemini leaned in to whisper in her ear that everything was going to be fine and there was no reason to push herself.

Lucy remained still as the images from just a few hours ago flooded her thoughts. Though she was petrified, she knew that she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she didn't take action now. Natsu and her team wouldn't always be around to save her when she was hurt.

No matter how much physical pain she was in at this very moment, the pain of moving forward knowing that this vile man was going to get away with what he did to her was enough to make her legs move once again.

Gemini stood by her side taking her hand as they crept silently to the back of the campsite unseen. The bandits that had been wounded in their earlier fight where lying close to a fire as the other men rough housed and laughed about non-sense that neither of them could understand. The wind blew while the sun creep slowly across the sky signaling that evening had begun to set in as the trees long dark shadows had started to paint the ground.

"Lucy, I picked up your whip earlier before we started walking. I think you should have it now." Gemini whispered to her as the spirit pulled out fleuve d'etoiles from her bag. Lucy thanked the copycat version of herself as she stood at the very edge of the trees, scanning the camp, looking for the man that had stolen her innocence from her.

She spotted him sitting on a fallen tree close to the other side of the field. Though Lucy couldn't hear him, she knew that he was talking to the vine mage as they took turns drinking from a canteen. She gripped the handle of her whip as she looked to Gemini and nodded signaling them that she was okay and ready. Gemini nodded in return and pulled up one of the golden keys and chanted "Open gate of the sea-Goat, Capricorn!" Gemini's chant had drawn the attention of a few of the bandits. However, they were caught by surprise as Capricorn appeared out of his golden gate.

The goat spirit took one look at his master and nodded his understanding. He took off after the lightning mage who just caught on that they had an intruder infiltrate their camp. Lucy let out a bated breath as she let her resolve sink into her bones.

Capricorn used his advanced fighting skills to successfully push back both the lightening and vine mage before they could conjure up their magic. The spirit glanced back to Lucy and Gemini as the copycat steadied their key holder from falling. Capricorn knew they had to be quick about this, he could feel Lucy's magic dropping at an alarming rate. He just hoped he could hold off some of the bandits as they both got ready for the spell.

"You are going to pay for what you did to my Master." Capricorn said to the stunned pair of mages as they braced themselves for another one of the goat's attacks.

Close to the other side of the field, Lucy and Gemini -still in their form as their master- stood face to face holding their hands together as they both chanted into the sky.

"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens. All the stars, far and wide…" Lucy and Gemini chanted as the sky visibly began to darken. Stars were visible in the artificial night sky as they shone brightly down onto Earthland causing some of the bandits to stop fighting and marvel at the wondrous view of the calm night sky.

"Show me thy appearance with such shine, Oh tetrabiblos, I am the ruler of the stars..." The sky swirled together in a stream of color as the stars shone so brightly the light was blinding. By this point all the bandits had stopped to stare in awe at the two girls and the beautifully threatening sky as both spectacles shone with such brilliance.

"Aspect become complete. Open they malevolent gate, Oh 88 stars of the Heaven… SHINE!" Lucy and Gemini dropped to the ground onto their knees while still connect as the stars began to descend to Earthland. The powerful magic targeted all of the bandits as the bright lights of the stars crashed into each and every one of them,

The ground shook with such force that craters begin to form from the impacts. Lucy let out a piercing scream as she let tears fall from her eyes. Both Gemini and Capricorn vanished as the stars began to stop falling. The sky started to take on its normal evening color as the blonde stellar mage sat on her knees screaming to the sky, alone.

Her body ached with pains as exhaustion threatened to take over her body. She slowly stood to her feet, grasping her arm as she looked around the now destroyed field. Desolation and silence met her ears, all of the bandits had been successfully taken out by the powerful celestial spell. Lucy knew none of them would be waking up soon. The blonde struggled to walk back down the path to the outskirts of Achidea, leaving behind the fallen bandits and destruction she had created, it was too bad she had no way to contact the magic council.

Lucy knew she needed medical attention immediately if she expected to make it through the fast approaching night, but she also knew that the nearest hospital was miles away. She trudged as far as she could from the bandits destroyed campsite until she could no longer walk.

Lucy let the memory of the day lull her into a deep deep slumber. At this moment in time, she would welcome death; her life was one big mess after another, anyways. The gate key wielder just wished that she was able to tell Natsu and the guild goodbye. She wanted them to know that she loved them, and wanted to hug each and every last one of them one last time.

Who knew that the cost of taking it easy would be the high cost of my own life?

The blonde laughed bitterly, the sound ringing into the forlorn night as she finally let herself fall into the dark abyss of her mind, hoping that at least the nightmares would let her rest easy before death from blood loss or magic depletion took her.

Or was that too much to ask for?
