WolfieANNE: Waah~! I'm writing another story again x_x But I have to delete Lucy Leaves or so. And don't worry, I will update all of my stories regularly, so do not worry! Since I noticed a lot of people love StiCy, I thought of writing one. Another crack pairing :)) I didn't ask my beta reader to beta read this because she was very busy. By next week I will update probably CI? I don't know about GMB yet, and the next SIL chapter is still not written. Anyways, please forgive me if I have a lot of mistakes! Anyway, please read!

Summary: They're arrogant and rich bastards whose world only revolves around their superiority. And their signature red card with a white rose is just a message saying you're everyone's prey.

Genre: Romance, Drama, Hurt and Comfort, Humor, Friendship

A boy started quivering, clutching the binder under his arm. He took a deep breath and held the handle of his locker, swallowing hard. He pulled open his locker.

He dropped his notebooks, papers and his binder, staring at his locker with a terrified look.

There, stuck on the wall of his locker was a red card with a white rose.

"Oi look! Musashi got a red card!" a girl yelled and all attention was on him. People started cornering him, an evil grin on their faces. While the boy, or Musashi, quivered and tried to find a way to escape the students.

He started walking back and they took steps forward, some cracking their knuckles. He looked behind and to the front, gulping as he immediately turned around and began running. "Look, he's running away! Catch him!" a boy yelled and the students nodded, running after him.

Musashi panted, clutching his black blazer. He ran in a corridor to find out that it was a dead end. It was game over for him.

"Looks like this is over for you, Musashi Fukushima," a boy sneered and a girl smirked. "It was a mistake bumping into one of the elites, causing him to fall. That was the biggest mistake you ever made," she said, bringing out a pack of flour.

"I.. I d-didn't do i-it on p-purpose!" Musashi nearly yelled, but it ended up as a loud whisper. The girls rolled their eyes and sneered at him. "What can we do? Even if you tell us that, what good would that do to us and you? Huh?" a boy hissed and clutched the collar of his shirt; pulling him up as he glared at Musashi.

He didn't reply and the boy let him go. As soon as he did, he sat on the floor. His head lowered down as the girl from before poured the pack of flour over his head and laughed deviously. "You deserve this. This was your fate. Being tortured and tormented by Fairy Tail Academy. This is game over," a boy said and Musashi started yelling as they began beating him up.

This was game over.

A blonde girl frowned and watched sadly as Musashi Fukushima got bullied by the students of FTA. She watched idly to the side lines, not wanting to get involve with this crazy things. She was Lucy Heartfilia, a normal and simple girl. She has blonde hair and brown eyes, gaining the looks of her mother.

Fairy Tail Academy is a school for rich people, but she wasn't rich. She did something and earned a scholarship. She wasn't bullied, she wasn't getting beaten up. Being a normal person isn't the reason why students in FTA get beaten up almost everyday. It was because of a red card that could change everyone's lives. The red card meant you were everyone's prey.

No one would talk to you, no one would dare help you or he or she will share the same fate as you. All they have to do is beat up, bully, or ignore people earning a red card. And the worst part was, the teachers couldn't do a thing about it.

Lucy sighed and pushed herself off the wall, looking at Musashi in pity before turning around and walking out of the scene. This was more her style, not bullying the people earning a red card or what the students call, The Preys. She would just ignore them and avoid trouble, even though if you beat the prey up, you won't get any detention. You won't even go to the principal's office, you won't even get expelled, and you won't even get punished.

Students in FTA rule over the teachers because they were rich. Yes, using their fortune to control people, that's what students in FTA do. But not Lucy, she wasn't even rich, yet she also had the control, she can also tell teachers what to do. But she wouldn't do it.

"I pity him.." someone told her. Lucy looked to the side to see a white haired girl with blue eyes. Lucy looked at her, "Who are you?"

"Mirajane Strauss. But you can call me Mira," she said and smiled.

Lucy looked at her and frowned, "You aren't in the bullying?"

"No, I'm against bullying. And I see you do too," Mira said and flashed her another smile. The blonde looked at her and gave her the smallest smile she could muster, "I do. I despise bullying. But I can see the students other than you and me love what they're doing."

Mira looked at her and sighed before smiling sadly. "It's sad that all of us can't live in peace," she said. "It's time for classes, let's just go," Lucy said. Mira reached out to her and touched her shoulder, "Wait, your name?"

"Lucy Heartfilia," the blonde said and smiled. "C-Can I eat lunch with you?" the white haired girl asked. Lucy nodded, "Sure, see ya at lunch."

The blonde and Mira then went their separate ways, ignoring the yells of Musashi who was still being beaten senselessly. Lucy closed her eyes painfully and there was Musashi's last scream before everything went quiet and she, once again heard the yells of success from the students of FTA. Yes, Fairy Tail Academy isn't a prestigious school just like it was said. Fairy Tail Academy is a school of hell.

(Lunch)

Everyone was gathered at the cafeteria. The cafeteria wasn't everyone's least favorite hang out, it was actually the best place in the building. It didn't look like a cafeteria, it looked like a restaurant. And everyone loved it there, the chefs cook food and the students just take some without paying, the food was free. They called the cafeteria The Res. No one knew why they started calling it that way, someone just thought of it and everyone agreed.

Yea, everyone but Musashi was at The Res, eating lunch. Lucy was sitting on an empty table near the counter where the chefs were cooking. Mira entered the room and saw Lucy who raised her hand and smiled.

Mira began walking to the table and sat across from her; bringing out her bento. "I'm glad you also don't eat the food cooked for us here," she said and began eating. Lucy smiled, "I cook for myself. I don't like taking the food without paying anyway. I'm not even rich, I just have a scholarship."

"Eh? How lucky," Mira muttered. "Why?" Lucy asked, taking a bite out of her sandwich. "I don't want to be rich, I just want to leave a normal life," Mira said and continued eating, breathing out as Lucy stared at her.

"And I thought everyone's obsessed with money. I thought no one cares about anything but themselves anymore," Lucy said and Mira pouted. "How mean Lucy," she said and the blonde grinned. "And now I'm wrong."

Mira let out a smile, "Thank you Lucy."

Lucy nodded and sighed, she just lost her appetite. She packed away her lunch and leaned on her hand, watching Mira eat her food.

"Kyaa! They are here!" a girl suddenly yelled and The Res went wild. Lucy groaned and cursed in her mind, closing her eyes tightly as Mira smiled sadly. They were here, the group everyone but the two liked and adored, The Elites.

The Elites consist of five boys, and they are sons of the top 5 richest families in Fiore. First there was Gray Fullbuster, son of Ur Fullbuster. He has black hair and dark blue eyes. He's a natural playboy, just like the rest. His family is the fifth richest family in Fiore. Then there was Gajeel Redfox, son of Gerald and Mae Redfox. He has black long and spiky hair with red eyes. He's a playboy and a really mean guy, but all of The Elites are mean anyway, for Lucy and Mira. Gajeel's family is the fourth richest family in Fiore. Then arrived Natsu Dragneel, son of Grandine and Igneel Dragneel and Gajeel's cousin. He has pink hair and black eyes. He's also a playboy, a really annoying one. His family is the third richest family in Fiore.

Then there was Rogue Cheney, son of Yua and Takumi Cheney. He has black hair and red eyes, just like Gajeel. He's not a playboy, he's actually really quiet. His family is the second richest family in Fiore. Then the girls started squealing as the leader of The Elites entered The Res. Sting Eucliffe, son of Misaki and Luis Eucliffe, he's also Rogue's cousin. He has blonde hair and green eyes. He's a real playboy and is superior, arrogant and is really really rich, Lucy didn't deny that, it was the truth. His family is the first richest family in Fiore.

"They're here…" Lucy mumbled and rolled her eyes as The Elites began walking towards their table that they said they owned. No one can sit there, and no one can sit with them. The Elites is a group that won't even wear the school uniform. They were just arrogant bastards.

"You don't like them?" Mira asked and the blonde nodded."I despise them," she glared at The Elites.

"I see…" Mira said and sweat dropped as Lucy kept glaring at The Elites. Lucy stood up, "I'll go get a drink."

Lucy walked to the counter, she forgot her tumbler so she had to get some drinks in The Res. "Just a soda," she said and the lady nodded, giving her a can of coke.

"Why aren't you squealing over The Elites just like the others?" the lady asked and Lucy frowned. "I'm different. Everyone knows that," she said and the lady smiled.

"It's good you are. They are very superior, I've had enough."

The blonde looked at the lady with wide eyes. Her eyes softened and she smiled, "Okay."

Lucy then headed back to the table where Mira was, however, she had to pass by The Elites' table because people were blocking her way. So she began walking to an aisle next to the Elites' table, opening the can of coke on the way. Just as she was about to walk away, someone accidentally pushed her towards Sting's group.

Lucy inwardly cursed; mentally yelling at the guy who pushed her with anger. She looked up and froze, seeing Sting, Natsu and Gajeel towering over her. They were wet, the soda spilled all over their millionaire clothes and their precious hair. But that didn't worry the blonde, oh no, she was just worried about not getting to Mira before she starts yelling at The Elites.

"Oi, brat. Watch where you spill your drink," Sting sneered and glared at Lucy who still sat on the floor, her skirt wet. "We better teach her a lesson," Natsu said and snickered, cracking his knuckles.

Murmurs started going around The Res, the blonde never got in to fights, so they were a bit worried. But, they couldn't do a thing, after all, she spilled her drink over The Elites' leader.

When Natsu was about to punch, Lucy stood up and swiftly went to the side. "You can't hit me," she spat. She was angry, oh yes. She wouldn't back down without a fight, that's who she was. But she never showed it to anyone.

"Huh? You talking back to us?" Gajeel suddenly said and grabbed the blonde's arm. Lucy smiled sweetly. "No, I was talking to the air," she sarcastically said and rolled her eyes.

"She's getting on my nerves," Sting said and Lucy looked at him. "Then shut the hell up and stop doing your stupid red cards and warnings, cause I'm not interested," she said and walked away. The crowd gawked at her, watching as she walked to Mira who looked at her in worry.

Okay, so maybe she went overboard. Lucy now knew what was in store for her, and she wasn't going to accept it that soon.

A few minutes later, the bell rang and all students went in their classrooms. Except for The Elites who decided to go home and wash up instead; feeling the sticky soda.

(The Next Day)

Lucy walked in the hallways, her head held up high. She wasn't going to give up, she wasn't going to surrender if something happens to her.

Everyone looked at her in pity, but they were probably waiting for her to open her locker and see what's inside. Treasure? Clothes? Bracelets? Books? Money? Pictures? Or…. Red cards?.

Yes, the red card with a white rose specially drawn on the card was a sign made by The Elites. The red card was called two names: Students call it plain "The Red Card" while The Elites call it "The Hell Card" It was almost like you were in a jungle and no one is around. But once you make one noise, even the slightest whisper, you'll be everyone's prey. Yes, that's how the red card works. Once you see the red card, it only means one thing….-

Lucy walked in front of her locker, ready and nervous. She held her shoulder bag with one hand, putting up a brave front. Though in truth she was really scared.

The blonde entered the lock code and held the handle, taking in deep breaths. Excitement ran through the students' veins, they wanted to see if she got it.

And as Lucy pulled open the locker. Stuck on the back wall of the locker was a note. However, it only said how much The Elites appreciated her bravery. And when she pulled it off, hell froze over. She dropped her binder. Stuck on the back of the locker's wall, was a red card with a white rose. It was The Red Card, or in other words, The Hell Card.

-….. And it only means one thing. You will be everyone's prey.
