《A/n: Yo! C.S.M here, yep, as I said, we are back with Lucy. Well at least back to where she's at. Anyway, enjoy~》

Lucy's pov

My body feels numb.

How long have I've been here?

Hours?

Days?

Weeks??

It must be a long time if these chains don't give me the same pain as the first time.

It's been the same routine. The chains disappear,I try to escape, get caught by Zeref some way, and back to the chains.

Just like now actually.

"My, my, my. When will you give up? We've been at it for about a month, I'm quite bored of getting up every morning and finding myself reactivating these chains. At fist it was really fun to hear you'r cry's of pain but now it seems like those cry's aren't the same anymore."

So that's how long I've been here...

The torturing he gives me is not just physically, but it's also mentally...saying words that only a maniac would say.

This torture

Stop...

I can't take it anymore!

Na-

3rd pov.

Everything happened quick.

Both of them couldn't react in time.

The door to the room burnt down, with no trace of it once being there.

A figure came towards Zeref with full force, grabbing him by the throat and slamming him onto the wall.

" You Bitch of a brother! I thought I told you not to touch her"

Both Zeref and Lucy were shocked to see the salmon haired demon, more like Lucy was relieved too see him because once he slammed Zeref to the wall the chains dissapered completely.

Natsu was beyond pissed, not knowing where his "prisoner of war's" exact location was not the reason, but the fact of not knowing nothing for a month, plus the fact that his brother has been hurting her.... it really made him snap in a way he didn't know was possible.

Eye's glowing with hatred, he balled up his fist with flames and gave Zeref a direct punch on the face. His inner mind was running like crazy. Thinking of the possibilities he can do to his older brother.

Just thinking of them made his lip curl into a wicked smile.

He knew that his older brother's magic has been getting weaker each day, it was because Zeref had been wasting it to summon the chains.

Trowing him out the window on a height the room was, with not enough magic to be able to teleport himself before he could make it to the ground, it would be a good chance he wouldn't survive it.

" I never layed a hand on her, Me and Blondie are JUST having fun, tell him Blondie."

Her true voice....it wanted to say No, but somehow she couldn't say anything, the look in the black mages eyes was a look telling her 'you-better agree-to-what-I-say-or-you'll-be- punished.'

Lucy's mind was too afraid , all she could do is put a fake small smile and shake her head.

"See, she even approved."

All lies.

The salmon haired demon look back at her, it was obvious she was tortured pretty bad.

He then let go of his suffocating brother, letting him live....this time....

Natsu pov.

Tch, that damn brother of mine. It was enough that he kept warping the halls when I would be close to this one, but torturing her mentally..

I decided to let him live, realising my grip on his neck, he slide down to the floor still trying to reach his stolen breath.

Before I left the hell room, picked up the celestial mage that blacked out just now.

Note to self, don't leave a prisoner of war to a crazy bastard of a brother.

But right now, I'll take her outside to the garden.

While passing through each hall, being questioned by the maids and other demons, I had stumbled into my brothers main forces,the Spriggan 12.

3rd pov.

"He's 1 floor up from the underground chamber..5 doors to the left."

The winter general, Inbel. Gave his thanks to natsu and proceed to reclaim his "majesty".

Natsu carried on towards his destination to the garden. Where all the beautiful flowers bloomed, and the rivers flowed with the sound of different creatures minding their own business.

Once he layed Lucy on the fluffy like grass,she was slowly regaining her conscious.

Freaked out of his mind, the demon was panicking on what words and actions to do so he could let her know he comes in peace.

She was slowly getting up, dazzled at the new place she was in, her chocolate brown orbs soon landed on a pair of black ones.

Out of pure reflexes, she jumped back. Ducking her head in her knees and hands hurried in her golden locks, shivering in fear.

It's much worse than I thought Natsu said to himself, he sighted, scratching his messy hair.

"Hey, you don't need to be scared. He won't hurt you anymore" natsu said as he pulled Lucy out of her little shell.

"Naaatssuuuu!"

Natsu looked back to see his exceed buddy on the 3rd floor window, jumping up and down.

Happy jumped out from the window, realising his pure white wings to make a soft landing towards the two.

" Oh, hey happy"

" Natsu, who's she?"

"She's the one I've been telling you about happy, hey Blondie this is my bud happy"

She slowly undid her shell like body to see the flying exceed, his blue fur,his wings, the green like bag tie on his neck, and his big smile.

"What's your name?"

"It's Lucy... Lucy Heartfila..."

🗝☄🗝☄🗝☄🗝☄🗝☄🗝☄🗝☄🗝

I know, not much of happy in this chapter, but it's better than none.

Heyo! C.S.M here! It's been a while since I've updated (even if I gave the sneak peek.)

But anyway, I was supposed to update the day of my birthday (which was 5 days ago) but ended up not updating due to the fact that I didn't have much words.

(I'm being honest, the only thing I had written was the sneak peak and about 20 words more.)

So I wrote more today.

Annnd let's just say I got distracted with Webtoons ^_^; I spent my days/nights  scrolling down each episode.

If you know what's Webtoons feel free to recommend me a story for me to read.

I also have been wondering, should I make my own cover shop? I've seen so many , there's times I say "alright! I can do it,my covers aren't that bad" then I end up doubting.

Some of your probably already seen this one ☝️.

(This one was done not to so many days ago)

They  aren't so awesome as some other people who make them but I try.

There should be 3 more of my covers on the Tags chapter, anyway, that's some samples of my covers, what do you guys think?

OH, I almost forgot, I'll update for the tag I got from Mistresswriter6060 either later today or tomorrow.

That's about it, plz vote and comment see ya next time!

Bye~
