OK everyone this is my first Fairy Tail fan fiction. And for those who are following my OHHC ff, i'm terribly sorry to have not added more in so long but I've hit a bit of a dry spot with it. Any how let me clear a few things up before we get started.

I have only watched the amine. I want to read the books but I have not been able too as of yet. How ever I have watched to episode 138 so if there are any spoilers go watch the show at and you'll know what I'm talking about. Also I need your help a bit, I need known names of attacks and such. I have always been wary of writing ff like this but I really love this show and want to write a version of my own. So bare with me if there are mistakes please don't hesitate to inform me of such.

Lastly as I have stated in every fic. I write. I love readers and have no problem with people who don't like my story. I do however not like it when they make me feel bad because they don't like it. So I ask politely that if you can't say something nice (or at least helpful) don't say anything at all. I'm going to keep writing regardless of how many comments I get, and improve what I can. Thanks again for reading I hope you enjoy it.

~Now for the beginning!~

Brown eyes opened to look at the ceiling, the light of the sun streaming into the room having woken her from her wonderful dream. Trying to close her eyes against the bright light currently assaulting them she started to feel a familiar agitation creep up her spine. She shrunk back in to her very warm cubbyhole hole,( failing to realize that the window was open and it was snowing out side.) and thinking some very unladylike thoughts. For a moment she had a hard time getting back in to a comfortable position to go back to sleep, wiggling her self backwards and into the wall, annoyed that the blanket was preventing her from getting closer to the warmth of the wall...wall?

"Enrnff" the wall groaned. 'walls don't groan.' she thought foggily as she reached her target ready to go back to sleep, only to become irritated again this time at the lump nestled at the base of her spine. Slowly the wheels started turning as she got more irritated. 'SLEEP! I just want SLEEP!' she thought to her self. And then the noise she had herd coming from the wall started to register. WALL! Suddenly her eyes snapped open and she froze as the wall began to move. Her brain on over load as she became more aware of her surroundings, and the fact that she did not have a wall by her bed! It was empty on both sides because she tended to trip at night! A breeze fluttered past her comforter as it dawned on her that it should not be that warm in her bed if the window was open, her furnace sucked, thats why she usually liked to have Natsu-

'Oh no'

The wall started to move and the lump on her spine registered, if there was no wall and it was warm. 'DAMMIT! HOW DID HE GET IN HERE!' the girl thought irritated but frozen in her spot. Two arms covered in thick corded muscles and tipped with calloused fingers wrapped around her pulling her closer. ' ##%^&&*' the girls brain hit a short circuit.

'hes in my bed and poking me in the back with his elbow. What the hell!' a few more milliseconds and she registered arms around her not behind her.

'If his arms are around me then whats?-BEEP!-OOOOoooooohhh!' and she panicked.

Sitting up swiftly in a flurry of blond hair the girl attempted to throw the invader OUT of her bed. Instead she was hauled back down with more force then she thought was necessary and she herd a grumpy;

"Oi! Luce, a little longer I'm still sleeping." Natsu grumbled trying to nuzzle closer. Lucy snapped.

"KYAAA! NATSU WHAT HE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED!" Lucy yelled in a flurry of blond hair and blankets as she attempted to escape the still half asleep dragon slayer. There was a flip and the blankets came tumbling off, in her haste to get away she and confused herself and tried to go over the sleeping man instead of the opposite direction. And as the bedding settled on to the floor the last bits flitting by her face as she looked down and the blanket flitted out of view revealing a pink spikey head and wide dark eyes, and a mouth slightly agape.

Bump

Lucy's eyes widened as something pressed on her thigh, she looked down only just getting that she was straddling him.

"Morning!" Natsu said with a fanged grin. Obviously not realizing what was really going on.

"I am not going to ask."

"I will Not ask"

"I will not ask because he'll probably tell me the truth!" so the blond settled for;

"GET OUT!" Lucy screamed. It was a good thing the window was open as she felt the need to send the pink haired boy back the way he came.

-20 minuets later.-

Lucy turned off the shower and stepped out grabbing the red towel Erza had gotten her for Christmas last year. She wrapped it around her and walked to the sink wiping the mirror as she spotted her brush. Soon she was dry, her hair was perfection, and she was ready to go get dressed. Remembering a certain

dragon slayer was most likely down stairs rummaging through her cabinets. Opening the door she peeked her head out making sure that there was not a pink haired boy sitting on her bed. Letting out a sigh of relief she ran to her closet and threw open the doors. This was a huge reason why Lucy had agreed to an apartment with 70,000 jewel, a walk in closet. Inside housed her small obsession. Lucy had a thing for clothes. The room was packed, as the term small was used loosely, shoes and accessories covered the floor and shelves and clothes were organized by color there was a standing jewelry box that her father had given her as one of his many gifts during her seven year absence. It had been filled with all of the things he had found on his travels. She walked in and grabbed a short navy pleated skirt with small stars dotting the hem, she grabbed a black belt and spotted the matching top of navy gold and white. It was like her normal one except it was more of a tank top, it cropped just under her large breasts and hugged her upper torso snug. She looked at the floor attempting to decide on her shoes and spotted a pair of thigh high healed leather boots that were so black that they almost had a blue sheen. She had bought them on a whim in Haragon but was not ever able to wear them afraid that she would be teased for the near 80,000 jewel splurge. 'But they were so cute!' she reasoned. But also knew they could be practical. (As practical as one can get going on S-class missions in a mini skirt.) Grabbing her selections she turned to go to her room to give herself a mist of body spray before dressing. She walked to her bed and placed the clothes down, then walked to her mirror and vanity. Finding the bottle she wanted she started to drop the towel and spray herself. As she was doing the she herd a faint sound at her bedroom door as it started to swing open. Realizing her stupidity she reached for her towel but it was too late the towel hit the floor just as a pink fuzzy head came in to view. Her back had been turned mostly facing the door, but as it had opened she had turned to look at the door with surprise, giving the dragon slayer a pretty good view of all her assets. But instead of the reaction she expected from him, which was a loud I'm sorry and to run back to the main part of her house. Instead he froze and stared. Lucy snapped out of it attempting to put the towel back in place when she felt something warm on her back. Lucy paused what she was doing confused, and surprised. While she had been bending down to grab her towel trying to calm her self and not kill Natsu, she had not noticed him walking up to her or where he was staring. Then she realized what he was looking at. She panicked and tried to cover her back with her hair and towel before turning to face the boy.

Natsu on the other hand was attempting to control himself. Not because he had just seen her naked he was used to that from the public baths some of the towns they went to had. No he was trying to contain his immediate and unexplained anger. Running down between her shoulders and to the middle of her back were what looked like slash lines, long and angry red, standing out against her peaches and cream skin like a sore thumb. How had he never noticed this before? When had this happened? He knew every injury that Lucy had had while on missions, never had he seen this.

"Luce, what is that?" he asked noticing she had moved away and had turned to face him her face a bright hue or red. "Where did those come from Luce?" he asked again noting her silence. Lucy turned and grabbed her clothes off the bed and walked toward her closet, dead set on getting dressed and not showing that she had paid attention to his question, hoping she could blame it on the shock of him seeing her naked.

"Lucy." the celestial mage stopped. He sounded serious. But she couldn't tell him. Telling him would lead to so much more, and she couldn't bare for him to know everything. Knowing that if he found out, she would feel dirty all over again. A grit that stuck to her skin and would never wash away, or fade. Telling him meant admitting things she was not ready to admit to.

"I can't talk about it Natsu. I can't talk about it ever." she said the last words vehemently, and while Natsu was in shock at his partners sudden change of attitude she took the opportunity to go get dressed. Stepping in to her closet she closed the door and walked over to a small table that was placed in the middle of the small room. Placing her clothing there she stood and dropped the towel catching a glance over what Natsu had seen, with a grimace, she started getting dressed cursing her failure to have Cancer bring her more of the skin cream that usually hid the horrid scars on her back. But had Natsu gotten a real good look at her? If so he didn't mention the similar scars under her arms going along her ribcage to her stomach, barely visible below her large breasts. She knew he would not be letting this go any time soon. She just hoped she could stall as long as possible, though again she knew she was only prolonging the inevitable. With a last breath she grabbed her boots and exited the the closet to sit on her bed and put them on. Natsu was giving her an odd look, but was otherwise silent. He would find out eventually what was going on and what had happened, if he had to resort to fighting with her to get her to break down and tell him the truth Natsu knew he would go to the ends of the seven hells to make what ever bastard did that to her into a pile of flaming ash.

A few minuets later found Lucy done lacing the boots and standing up. They were perfection. Every part of the boots fit like a glove and Lucy knew she had just found her knew mission boots. Ignoring Natsu for a moment she did a silly little dance to test how moveable they were. (think Sinfeld, and the Elane dance. If you don't know it look it up I laughed till I cried.) forgetting the serious situation from before, Natsu went from blushing at watching her lace her shoes of all things to laughing at the blond.

"Whats so funny, might I ask?" Lucy said suddenly paying attention to who was still in her room. She blushed when she realized that he had been watching the whole time. And now he was laughing at her. Dammit!

Natsu's mirth died to a slight chuckle in his voice when he shook his head and grinned a big toothy grin. "Nah, I would never laugh at my nakama. I thought you were doing some weird spirit thing. Ya know like the contracts and all." Natsu's grin nearly split his face in half at the steam rolling out of her ears and the nova colored blush on her face. Suddenly he remembered who the hell this girl was. This was Lucy! Lucy the one who had a violent counter part that reared it ugly head when embarrassed. Suddenly Natsu froze feeling impending doom, as he raised his head to look at the eyes of a demon more terrifying then any Mira could conjure.

"Happy!" Natsu pleaded in vain and all went black.

Thirty minuets later, and they boy started to stir from his nakama induced slumber. He could hear loud crashing and some slurring. Then he felt something cold. Really cold on his rear end. Startled Natsu sprang up only to topple over the chair he was currently seated in. it took only a sniff to realize they were at the guild, and a few seconds after to realize how he had gotten there. He remember pain, lots of pain. And then the sound of a cow. But before his world went black he shuddered seeing the look in Lucy's eyes again. 'Scary!' and again with the cold on his ass.

"Oi! Oi! What the hell you deranged ice freak you really that in need of getting a good grab at someone you gotta numb their ass in their sleep to do it?" Natsu grumbled irritably. Turning to look at the ice mage crouched down behind him.

"Tsk, what ever you stupid ash tray, I get mine. I was just messin that's all." Gray said standing once more and getting in Natsu's face. Natsu ruffled a bit and snapped back;

"Who the hell you calling and ash tray you fucking pop sickle!" Natsu shouted back. They traded insults like that for a few minuets until Natsu noticed a vision of scarlet red hair and an evil aura for the second time that day, and froze contemplating the fetal position for this one until Gray not seeing the imminent danger and Natsu not feeling the need to mention it to him yelled his last insult. Natsu looked over Gray's shoulder in time to see the sapphire eyes of Erza as the ice mage fired.

"I'M GONNA FREEZE YOU, YOU FLAMING BUTT NUGGET!" Natsu sweat dropped, and the whole guild went silent, Gray sensing the end of his genetic line, turned slowly to look at the red head knowing full well she had just herd them. 'I'm gonna die! Ur, help me I'm gonna be tortured by a demon!' When suddenly Erza turned around and they saw her head drop down. Gray becoming scared they had disappointed the woman started to apologize only to stop. He looked carefully as was sure, her shoulders were bouncing slightly, and her hand was raised. She was mumbling incoherently for a few moments.

"Um- Erza?" Gray asked hesitantly not sure if he should back up now or not, when she spun around and released the laughter she was trying so hard to describe. When she could talk again she looked at him.

" Really Gray? That's what you had? That's all you had?" she asked him. "Even Gajeel had a good one the other day with "You flaming fucktard." and you come up with 'Flaming butt nugget!" she asked him her laughter resuming only to be followed by that of most the members that were sober enough to do so, laughing with her.

"Arg, I can't win!" Gray said going to sulk in a corner. 'well at least I didn't die. I made her laugh she wont kill me now, no way!' Gray cheered silently, when he suddenly went limp.

Erza dusted her hands together and walked to the bar. 'tsk just cause you made me laugh doesn't get you off the hook! The women though triumphantly while she asked the white haired bar maid for a slice of strawberry cake. Turning she noticed her blond friend, her shoulders slumped and her head on the bar.

"Hello Lucy, how was your morning?" Erza asked in hopes of getting the girl to snap out of it in favor of complaining about Natsu or something. She became concerned when the girls only resonse was and muffled unintelligible response.

"merrrnfff." the girl said from her place on the bar. Looking at Mira hoping for insight to the problem the bar maid shifted slightly giving her a look that said she was like that when she came in.

"Lucy," she tried again, "are you alright? Has Natsu hurt you in some way? Should I beat him up for you?" she asked hoping to help the girl. Lucy resisted the urge to face palm and settled or a nice,

"Muurrrmmm" Erza eyed her with suspicion. She had never seen her blond friend act like this. So she tried something else.

"Lucy are those new boots? They are really nice if I say so my self." Erza commented. Hoping that she could pique her friends interest in fashion to pull her out of her funk. When all she got was a silent nod from the blond she became mildly irritated. This had to be Natsu's fault. This was usually the case due to the boy's extremely dense nature. With that in mind she bid a quick farewell to her friends and went to seek out the pink haired boy.

Looking around the room she found him talking to Gajeel, Wakaba, Macao in the back corner. As she approached them she read Wakaba's lips and noted that they seemed to be trying to give him advice of some kind. Putting it to the back of her mind for the moment she walked behind Natsu and grabbed him by his scarf and pulled, heaving the boy to eye level and brought his face scant inches from her face. In a low and dangerous voice she asked him;

"Natsu, what did you do to Lucy?" Erza watched his response looking for a lie, even as she already knew it was just not Natsu to lie, he was incapable, instead of lying the boy would rather run and wait it out, like with his first S-class mission at Galuna island. As she watched him she saw surprise and then recognition followed shortly by anger.

"I didn't do anything to Lucy. But someone did, why don't you ask her maybe she'll be honest with you about it, 'cause she sure as hell wont tell me!" his anger bubbling down to irritation. Erza shot up straight releasing her victim and looked at him confused. "look at her back it tells all you need to know." her blue eyes became huge, Natsu never, spoke to nakama like that let alone her like that. What ever was going on was seriously bothering the boy.

"Explain yourself Natsu." Erza said dangerously, disrespect was not to be taken lightly but she would over look it if there was a good reason. With a quick nod of understanding she approached her blond friend she quickly swiped her up by her collar and dragged her to the back room behind the counter. Upon seeing this Mira, Levy, Cana and Wendy followed swiftly behind. Once in the backroom Erza let the girl go and gave her a hard look. Lucy turned around dumfounded.

"Um Erza if you just wanted to talk you could have just asked me." Lucy said after being forcefully snapped out of her gloomy state. She knew what Erza wanted and intended to tie up her friendly dragon slayer by his beautifully muscled arms and hang him out side her window for this breach in privacy. She knew he had been upset with her for not telling him anything but she didn't think he would tell Erza did he want her to die! Deciding that playing dumb was the best option she cocked her head to the side giving her an innocent and mildly irritated look.

"Show me." was all she said. Cana choaked on her ail, Mira's eyes about popped out, Levy and Wendy looked at the ground with a huge blush, Lucy turned a bright shade of red.

"Show you what Erza?" asked Mira curiously.

"She knows what I'm talking about." Erza said seriously. "if what ever this is, is bothering Natsu so much he would snap at me, I want to see it and I want to know whats going on."

Lucy paled. If anyone could force her to show something like this it would be Erza. Lucy turned her back to the women thinking to her self, attempting to decide if she should try to lie, she had not gotten a chance to summon Cancer yet so the scars would be obvious. Levy walked up to Lucy and stood in front of her grabbing her hand Levy pleaded;

"Please Lu-chan what ever is going on here we just want to help you."

"Making me relive it will not help me!" Lucy said more forcefully then she intended. There was a hush in the room and then a quiet 'I'm sorry' followed by a ripping sound and a collective gasp, before Lucy registered that her back was on display her top falling to the floor in small pieces.

"How?" asked Cana having dropped her ail at the sight.

"When did-?" Erza started.

"Lucy..." Wendy gasped. Levy not able to see walked around to stand by Erza and her eyes started to well with tears.

"Lu-chan we have been to bath houses before, and swimming, I've tried on dresses with you! I've never seen this damage before. How did this happen and don't lie." Levy pushed gently tears slipping down her face. Cana took off her vest and held it out to the girl. When Lucy turned to take it they saw the true extent of the damage, and not one of them had a dry eye, even Erza had misty eyes. Lucy knew that look. It was the same look she got from the maids that helped to patch her up, and it was the same look the doctor gave her when he dressed them initially, and it was a look she hoped to never see in any of her beloved nakama's eyes; pity. Such a useful and hurtful emotion, and she hated it.

"I'm not going to lie to you because I'm not going to tell you anything at all." she said slipping the vest on.

"Why? You know you can trust us. And we would never judge you! You know that." Levy tried again. Lucy shook her head, why didn't they get it. Its not like she didn't trust them. She couldn't tell them. She couldn't tell anyone. Ever!

"I can't tell you." Lucy said finally looking them square in the eye, and what they saw disturbed them, despite her watering eyes, they saw something there they had never seen from the strong confidant girl. Complete and total fear, melded with hatred anger and a very broken little girl. Tears started rolling down her cheeks finally breaking from the pressure. Before they could say anything she pushed past the girls and ran. She didn't stop when Mira called, she didn't stop when happy called for her and she let out a sob and ran harder when Natsu attempted to stop her. Once out of the guild she kept running, she didn't know where she was going but she was running for all she was worth. Her mind felt like it was breaking in to fragments, and attempting to push out of her head any way necessary.

Back at the guild

"Erza what happened!" yelled Natsu confused. She had been kind of off since the incident this morning but Lucy had been no were near this state. He wanted to know what had happened but he had never wanted this, she looked so broken.

"I saw everything. And its not just her back." Erza announced. "And she refuses to talk about it at all." the whole guild went silent.

"I think, Erza you had better explain. You don't make a habit out of making your nakama cry like that but still I've never seen our Lucy quite that upset." and old man told her. Erza winced. Master Makarov, he was sure to want to know everything as well.

"Master I think this may be something to speak about in privet." Erza tried already knowing the answer. The master shook his head and the red head sighed. "This is Lucy's family. She has said this herself, there is no secrets here child you know that. Because to express your pain is to allow your self to begin to heal." was his reply. Erza nodded, knowing this from experience.

"Natsu had mentioned that someone had done something to her. By his reaction to what ever this was, I was concerned. So rather then risk the hassle of arguing with her I pulled her to the back room to question her not wishing to embarrass her further. I was accompanied by Levy, Cana, Mira, and Wendy. I questioned Lucy about this and she chose to play dumb. Honestly sir I expected more from that girl. So when she turned away I cut her shirt off." Erza stated unable to continue remembering the scars. Those were most definitely not scars from a total stranger. You had to get close to someone to do something like that.

"Sir if I may finish?" Wendy piped up at that point a bit hesitantly, she didn't want to do this as it would only make her friends more unhappy but she wanted to protect Lucy too, and the only way to do that was to help her heal. When the others stopped murmuring Makarov nodded for the girl to continue. "there were scars, deep ugly scars at first it appeared as though it was only on her back but when Cana-chan handed Lucy her vest we saw that there were many more. I'm not sure how she hides them as we have seen Lucy in a bathing suit before, even in the nude, and have never seen this. They go along her rib under her arms and then up under and between her breasts." Wendy said pointing to the exact area's. Now came the hard part, to tell them what she suspected made them. The whole room had gone completely still. They had no idea. To them Lucy was flawless, her skin hair and nails always kept perfect. They could not imagine someone harming such a beautiful creature, even Bickslow was having an issue with the implications.

"Who the hell would have done something like that!" Gray growled startling Juvia who had been sitting next to him.

"We can only know the damage if we know what made those marks, sometimes the who is irrelevant." Levy said quietly, still leaking tears at the thought of what her friend had endured.

"Fortunately I think I can help a bit with that." Wendy said sounding solemn. Revealing this made her heart ache even more for her precious friend. When the guild quieted once more Wendy was urged by a gentle Mira to continue. Trying to control her voice she looked her Master square in the eyes, "sir I have seen wounds like those before. I have helped to treat them. Not all of them are the same size but vary in length. I believe the ones on her back are lash wounds, with the obvious tearing of skin something with spikes, I can also identify at least two as the edge of a knife-" Wendy paused to choke back a sob for she was crying full force now, realizing that there were only a few situations that caused this type of injury. Carla held the girls hand knowing she needed to do this, and Wendy took a deep breath and nearly shouted, "Master the rest are most defiantly from a rope." with that she sat in the nearest chair and cried, comforted by Carla. The others would have too only they were frozen most faces showing horror, some shock, and a few pity. Makarov had tears leaking down his face, something every father feared had most likely happened to one of his chilidren, and she had been carrying this burden alone for who knew how long. He could not help but feel that in someway he had failed this girl. Clearing his throat he asked;

"Did any of you ask how this happened?" all that were present nodded including Natsu.

Levy sniffed from her place in Gajeel's lap and uncurled herself enough to look at her master.

"Sir we did, she told us she could not tell us. Not that she didn't want to but that she "can't"." she said trembling slightly.

Natsu had sank down to his knees at hearing this. Though he didn't seem to get the severity that everyone else felt, he somehow felt angry, and broken all at the same time. A thousand doubts swam in his head. But there was something else there, he just couldn't place it. He saw a small blue paw and looked up to see Happy, looking at him with the same expression. The little Exceed had a pretty good idea why Master Makarov was so upset, and knew that Natsu had little idea. A chair screeched against the floor slowly, and Natsu turned his head to see Gajeel standing with his fists clenched at his sides looking at the floor. The guild watched him while he seemed to tremble. Suddenly he looked up at Makarov and started to speak in a clear voice that did not show the fury he was feeling at this moment. After what he had done to her when she had been in their captivity he should have noticed, but he only realized it now. He knew the act that most likely caused this and it infuriated him.

"I was a villan for a very long time. I have seen many, many things, and the one thing that even Phantom Lord did not tollerate was something like this. Members caught would be tortured in return for the torture inflicted on the victim though it never came close to the mental damage done. Bunny Girl didn't deserve that, I can't be sure but I'm almost. I'm surprised she is still sane." he stopped trying to calm him self. Even dark guilds had no stomach for that kind of pain infliction, it infuriated him that he had tortured her the way he had while thinking she was just some pepped up princess with a huge bounty on her head. Now he felt something he had not felt in along time, a strong sense of guilt. "That was why she didn't break like the others when I tortured her. Because what had been done to her was far worse then I could have ever done. And judging from the severity of the scaring, I'd say it happened a lot." he finished finally loosing steam and dropping unceremoniously in to his chair. Even brushing off the comforting hand of Levy. Makarov looked over the guild quietly taking it all in, and noting that there were several members of the guild looking as though the were ready to do what Fairy Tail swore not to, they were ready to kill. Gray showing a rare bit of stupidity looked around as well, he cleared his throat readying himself to ask the question that he was sure would get him pummeled.

"She has these scars, I get it, but what could be so bad that would have even Gajeel feeling like a pile of shit?" he asked with little grace. Next to him a small pale hand placed it self on his arm and he noted that the usually composed water women was shaking. "Juvia?" she looked at him her face drenched in tears and her eyes betraying nightmare she would never willingly face. She stood and smoothed her dark blue dress almost prolonging what she had to say.

"Juvia is sure she knows what has happened to Miss Lucy, she doesn't wish to bring this out in the open but Juvia agrees with Master she needs to face this. Juvia believes-" she stopped to take a deep breath wishing for courage that she had some how lost. She had come to terms with what had happened all those years ago but she knew just how painful it was to do so, she also understood that being a member of the element four had been what helped her. All of her friends helped her, even the steely Gajeel, that was partly how he knew about what had happened to Lucy and she was sure he was beating himself up about what he had done to their dear friend. "Juvia believes that Miss Lucy has been...been raped." those who had not already come to that conclusion gasped in shock and Gray looked far more pale then he should Erza like Natsu had sunk to her knees, feeling defeated by and an enemy she could not even attempt to fight. "But what makes it worse is that she was tortured for fetish, and harshly so." Juvia finished.

The room became stiflingly hot and Natsu stood to his feel shaking slightly with rage. It couldn't be true, he would have noticed something like this he would have-. But he hadn't ever smelt for that before because he didn't care. It never mattered if she was still a virgin or not because he was his nakama. But there was something boiling inside of him, something he didn't recognize, but deep down he knew he wanted to kill who ever had done this, he wanted to watch them burn slowly, painfully, and he wanted to dump his ashes in the toilet and let Nab have a go at it.

"NO! That's not possible, she would have told someone, she would have told me!" Natsu declared desperate to hear another option.

"Think about it Natsu, you might not have noticed before, but has Bunny Girl ever smelled like a virgin to you? She might be pure but that is a purity that Bunny Girl distinctly lacks." Gajeel stated from his corner. Wendy nodded a slow agreement already knowing that this was most definitely the truth. The trick would be to get her to explain.

"Here's the deal, someone needs to hurt for this, someone needs to pay!" an angry feminine voice said forcefully. The whole guild looked to the voice to see Mira and Erza standing their aura positively deadly. Next to her Mira continued. "this is wrong, and she should not have to bare this alone. What do you wish for us to do master?" Mira was inexplicably furious, skipping pity all together and going straight to the need to see blood. She had felt some what like a mother to the teen, always guiding her, setting her up with men, even helping her with hair and shopping. Erza had looked to her as a little sister, and was taking his personally. Everyone had forgotten about Natsu again aside from the heat which suddenly god a lot hotter. Before answering Makarov looked at the dragon slayer, knowing the boys feelings for the little blond.

"Natsu, that's enough. If you want to help Lucy you will have to calm down. We may think we know what happened because all the evidence is there. But none of us knows the truth."

"How could she not tell me. How could she not say something when I asked, instead just saying I can't tell anyone ever. Its bullshit!" came the angered response from the heated teen. Someone stood up with such force to knock their chair straight over.

"BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU! It's not about any of us! You have no idea of the shame that one carries, the DIRT that will never wash away." came the angered voice of Juvia, everyone was startled that she had stopped speaking in third person she was so angry.

"But she could have told me! She is important to me, I care for her! You tell people things like that when they care for you!" Natsu shouted back.

Smack

The blow was loud and echoed in the large hall stopping anyone from saying anything more. No one had seen Juvia move no one had noticed her standing in front of the teen trembling in fury.

"You have no idea how she feels right now, that dirt clogs your heart, it haunts you, it makes you feel little and small, and helpless, it makes you doubt your looks, doubt your worth and depending on the offender makes you doubt your sense of security in anyone's embrace. Depending on how bad a touch and terrify, a hug is enough to incite flash backs, and a kiss can make you feel so number your sure you'll never feel anything every again. Makes you feel as though your not worth your weight in water because your damaged goods. Its a TAR that never scrubs away, I'm made of water dammit and I can't even manage it, and trust me I've tried." with that Juvia looked at Makarov, and then at the guild.

"Juvia will talk-" she was cut off by Natsu, who was engulfed in a gold flame.

"NO! You have no right! She is my family I will-" Juvia didn't let him finish she slapped him again, her brillent blue eyes showing conviction and not even a hint of fear.

"YOU WILL NOT! NONE OF YOU WILL DO ANYTHING!" she looked at her master expecting to see anger only to see understanding in its place. Composing her self she lowered her voice but did not change the tone. "Juvia has every right. Because I'm probably the only one who understands." there was a hush as she finished. "for you or anyone else to say something would be to make her feel shame. Only someone who understands could possibly get through to her. If Juvia is right Miss Lucy has never shared this with another soul of this and will not willingly want to. Juvia will wait until she has calmed and will go seek her out. Until then no one is to say a thing to her! For once Juvia is begging you to keep out of this until then." Juvia finished and walked back to her chair to retrieve her hat in doing so she caught the eyes of Gray seeing the pity they held. "Save your pity Gray-sama, what is done is done and there is nothing more degrading in a situation like this then pity. Remember that when you see Miss Lucy or you all might push her completely away." with that she walked out of the guild, Gray shook him self and followed quickly after. The rest of the guild maintained silence for a moment until Master Makarov spoke up.

"Though Juvia just admitted to something horrible, she is right pity will only make this worse. I agree with her, no one is to even breath a word of this to anyone until Lucy comes to us herself. Anyone caught pushing her when she is not ready with be punished, I will personally make sure that it is brought in to this." the whole guild sensing their master was serious shuddered, no one wanted to face it.
