Cynthia's POV

I woke up to feel sore around my body, dirty and tired. I winced to feel a sharp pain in my abdomen and it still felt warm. Was it blood? My purple orbs were adjusting to the darkness that surrounded me but to my luck, it was pitch black. 'Where am I?' I thought. I felt something heavy and cold around my wrists and ankles that was lifting me up against the wall. I moved a slight bit and heard it to rattle. No way! Am I chained to the wall? Who on earthland would do this?!

Wait... I remember.

A sudden vision of memories were running through my mind. Me with Wendy and Carla out on a job to meet our client the old woman. But in reality, it was a trap that Teena... turned into a guy. I think his name was Hotaru? He attacked me and my friends... he blackmailed me to go with him to his Master. He pierced my side, choked me and kicked me. Then he went to Wendy. I blacked out due to the loss of blood as I was being taken away from him. I remember.

Damn it.

"I see that Sleeping Beauty has finally awoken." I heard a low deep voice to chuckle.

"W-Who's there?!" I sneered, keeping my gaze towards the source of the voice that was hiding within the shadows.

"That is none of your concern... Not yet anyways." he snickered.

"Show yourself you asshole!" I swore, an irk mark to appear on my forehead.

"Now now... a beautiful girl like you shouldn't swear such things. It ruins your image." I felt him to roughly bring my chin up and gasped to see his silver icy blue eyes gazing at me. I inhaled sharply, as I felt his stare like he was stabbing me in my gut. Who is he?

"Bite me." I spat.

"Feisty aren't you?" he chuckled and brought his face closer to me and I struggled in his grasp, hoping that he would let me go soon. But I let out a yelp due to the pain on my left dislocated shoulder that I received earlier from my fight.

"You're interesting... That's why I am going to use you."

"U-Use me?"

"Yes. You will be nothing more than a tool."

"What the heck does that mean?!" I glared as he brought his face closer, closing the gap between us.

"Because Cynthia Adara... Your power is what I want. I need it." he huskily whispered in my ear, making me to shiver.

"Like I would let you! And how do you know my name?!"

"Oh? You have no choice though. Don't you know... you're the famous Mini Light Angel. That's how I knew your name. Your an angel... with such great power and talent that I could extract you from." he mocked and released his grip on me.

Suddenly the room was lighten up by candles with no one to match it up with. I looked to see the guy who was held me captive.

He had silver blue spiky hair that was matching his eyes. He held this cocky and obnoxious smirk on his face. He wore this black jacket with a black tee underneath, purposely showing his chest out. Then he has black pant and black shoes. All black, which could mean one thing. Darkness.

"You like my body?" he winked in my direction and I sweatdropped.

"More like you disgust me. Old man."

"Old Man you say? I'm practically a few years older than you..."

"Not with that hair of yours." I snickered.

"Shut up you wench. Give it up. You have no choice but to stay here a captive. Alone for a long time with me in the dungeon. You can't escape me, nor would I let you."

"No choice you say? I have another choice... and that would to kick your ass!" I snarled and pushed myself off the wall, but to my dismay, I couldn't even reach him. I felt the chains to bruise my skin, making me to grow weak and wince in pain.

"How does it feel to be chained up?" he laughed.

"These chains? It's so incredible... I'm totally in pain right now." I sarcastically said as I rolled my eyes, to see him smirk.

"That's good to hear... You'll be chained up even more later." he chuckled and caressed my face.

"Don't touch me you bastard!"

"Too bad princess. I already am."

"Why you!"

"Na uh uh... You talk too much. How should I make you shut up? Hm... Oh I know! " he jestered and suddenly in a flash, he grabbed onto my neck squeezing it tightly.

"S-S-Stop..." I winced in pain as he started to tighten it even more.

"You're so fun to play with... As much as I am tempted to play with you longer... I can't harm you, much to my pleasure where I can make you scream..." he glared and released his hold making me to cough violently.

"Hotaru." I heard him to call out. 'Hotaru?! As in that guy I tried to defeat earlier with Wendy?!' I thought.

"Yes Master." I heard the familiar voice in front to see the very same guy from before. His amber eyes held no emotion, rather than pain and guilt before. I saw him to stare at me with emotionless eyes before he knelt down on one knee, his bangs covering the top of his face.

"I want you get me a punching bag and bring it in my chambers." his Master said with a sadistic smile.

"In which cell Master?" Hotaru asked.

"I want you to get me a punching bag from each cell." he chuckled. I don't know if it was my imagination but I saw Hotaru to stiffen up when his Master said that. Then in seconds, he went back to his relaxed self. What made him stiffen about getting a punching bag?

"One where they can scream in fear, in agony. Trembling at their deaths that I love to strangle! I want to hear them scream for their lives, begging for mercy." his Master laughed evilly making my eyes to go wide. 'Don't tell me... he kills humans for satisfaction?! That is just wrong! That's not human at all! He's evil! He's a killing machine!' I thought.

"Yes my dear...Cynthia. I am a murder you should say... I love to kill. Killing is my only pleasure in life." he chuckled as if he was reading my thoughts.

"You're a monster."

"That's not the first time I've heard. Hotaru you may go. I need to discuss some private manners with Cynthia." he waved him off.

"Hotaru! You don't have to listen to him!" I shouted and I noticed him to freeze in his spot.

"Don't underestimate me girl. He is my creation and obeys to my every command. He is nothing but a pet."

"You're horrible!" I growled making him to smirk.

"Yes Master... right away.", Hotaru muttered and with that he vanished into his black dust, leaving his Master and me alone, once more.

"Why are you killing innocent people?! That's wrong! Absolutely wrong and stupid! Think about your actions! And Hotaru is a person! He needs his freedom and doesn't deserve to be treated poorly for you! He needs to choose his own decisions!" I yelled, but in exchange he just laughed at my outburst like it was some kind of joke. What an asshole.

"Killing people is my hobbies. It helps me to calm my nerves, but at the same time it gets me excited!" he grinned and walked towards me.

"Killing people my ass."

"For your information... Hotaru is not a person." he turned his grin more maliciously.

"He is a person! He's human! Just like you and me! How is he not a person?!"

"Tsk tsk... you have bad eyesight. You're delirious if you think of him like that. Or of me, my dear sweet Cynthia. He's not human.... he's a demon but in human form."

"W-What..."

"That's right... he's a demon, a soulless and heartless tool. He doesn't have a heart but a loner, a creature of pain and torture to kill. He's darkness himself and will never go into the light, like me. I am his Master of all darkness. I created him out of my shadows... he will never listen to you. You're just a stupid girl of whose power I am hungry for. I need you. Your power alone."

"You're wrong... demon or no demon... everyone can have a heart and nurture feelings. Darkness can turn into light even if it's a little, light will find its way through darkness. When I fought him earlier, his eyes told me otherwise. He dos have a heart, he's just forced to obey to you just because your his master. No one should be able to go through that! I will never let you have your way or my powers!"

"Hahahahahaha, seriously? That's the stupidest trash that I've ever heard. Such wisdom you have." he clutched onto his side as he gave out a cruel laugh but held a glare after. I clenched my hands into fists, my jaw tightening as I gave him one of my deadliest stares that I've never given. "You amuse me... If you obey to me, I would consider of letting you go."

"Sounds easy enough to me... What's the catch, you dumbass?"

"You are to stay in my chambers until then." he grinned.

"Like hell I would. I'd rather stay in here than being in your room." I spat in disgust but I got slapped in the process. The pain from his slap was stinging my cheek, it was probably swollen already. It hurted like hell. I winced every time I moved my jaw and I felt slight tears to come out from my eyes.

"Did it hurt?" he smirked and slowly caressed my cheek that was swollen where he slapped.

"..."

"Good. Stay quiet like that or I would to rip your tongue out."

"Bastard..."

"What was that?"

"I called you a bastard. Are you deaf?" I choked a laugh to see him glare.

"Don't defy me, you idiotic girl. I am a mage of most utter evil and I am capable of killing you with my bare hands right now, if that is what you wish." he sneered.

"Most utter evil...? Don't tell me you're..."

"That's right my dear. I am one of Zeref's creations. I am known as Master Kurai. I am to distinguish and get rid all purity and goodness. Which is why I have chosen you as a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice you say? You wish."

"Oh? But I already did. You're in the hands of evil. Your powers are of great magic that bears Light and Enlightenment. I've watched you through the games... you are impressive. And that my dear Cynthia...your light magic will help me achieve my goal."

"Goal....?"

"My goal... is to let my Lord notice that darkness and pure evil is the answer to the whole world. Killing is the ultimate sacrifice to create a better world! I can't believe he fell for you... which is why I am going to make him notice that you are... going to be part of our darkness. Darkness can always break the light. If you're light magic is as powerful it is... then I shall create more darkness and power by yours. It's the perfect plan. I will rule the world with Lord Zeref."

"You disgust me."

"You will thank me... you know why?"

"Oh... enlighten me." I sarcastically spat.

"Your friends will die before they even come to rescue you. What a pity."

"They won't die! They are strong and powerful! Don't make such accusations, my friends will make it. They will save me and beat your ass before you know it!"

"You're hilarious. That makes me want to play with you even more..." he grinned and punched me in the gut, making me to grunt in utter pain and coughed up my blood.

"So beautiful... I want to hear you scream."

"N-No... I won't let you t-torment me...You are not-" I hissed but I was cut off by a sharp blade near the crook of my neck.

"Do you want to die easily? What a waste of a beautiful woman like you. You're eyes interest me... maybe I should carve them out and use them as a decoration? Hm.... no wonder Lord Zeref has taken a liking in you." he brought his face closer to my neck and gave a small lick. His warm touch gave goosebumps on my skin and I froze in terror.

"Shall I rip your throat out in the process? Or should I cut your lovely body and tear it from limb to limb? You're choice my dear." I felt his blade pressing against my neck, and felt warm liquid to drip down and staining my tattered clothes that was exposing most of my skin.

"You're skin is exquisite.... such a shame I would to ruin your complexion." he grinned as he lifted his face to stare at me, and lightly grazed his fingertips on my exposed belly that was probably bruised already from his punch.

"I don't think you have the guts to do it." I snickered.

"Hm? Why is that?" he asked and took the blade out from my neck and licked his blade that was fully coated with my blood.

"You would need my powers for your goal.... so there's no way for you to kill me." I snorted making him to grow a wide smirk.

"Very smart. I am pleased... that's why I am going to let you enter into the world of darkness my lady Cynthia. There is not much time left."

"I dare you!"

"I do dare... it won't hurt a bit. That I cannot promise." he mocked and placed a hand on my forehead.

"S-Stop! Let me go! I'll kick your ass Zurui. Fairy Tail and Sabertooth won't forgive you!" I yelled.

"Oh~ Bite me. So scary!" he gasped sarcastically and I pierced a glare.

"Lost Magic... Universal Shine!"

"..."

"..."

"Was that suppose to hurt?" he chuckled and I stared at him in a faze. 'What's going on here!? I chanted my spell but... my magic.. it's like it got sucked away and there was no sign of my magic circle appearing... How can this be?!' I thought in shock, displeasure and incapable that it didn't work. That was impossible! My magic would've worked. Why?!

"That was cute... You know~ The chains that are embedded on your wrists and ankles is what's keeping your magic from flowing. I practically sealed it... for now."

"Why you!"

"You're so lovely. How about a bargain then?"

"Bargain?"

"That's right... in exchange for your friends to be alive... and to remove those shackles on you. I want you to be my queen and rule with me to overthrow the world with darkness."

"Never! My nakamas won't die by you! And I would never be you're queen! I'm flattered but I have a boyfriend!" I growled.

"Thought you would say that. Your boyfriend will die soon. There's no effort in liking him now. He's just as trash like Hotaru. And you're a challenge and I'm up for challenges. I guess have to make you by force."

"You asshole! Don't talk about Sting like that! Or Hotaru either! They aren't trash! You're the trash here! You're just jealous because you're lonely! Sting means everything to me and he wouldn't be killed off so easily! He's the master of Sabertooth, I'll have you know! and you wouldn't dare!"

"I would, my queen. And jealous? Ha, who said I was? How pitiful. You're feelings are no concern, they're useless. There is no way you can stop me. No one can. Lord Zeref will approve of my decision... unless he wants to make you as his..." he chuckled.

"There's no way in hell I would fall to you shitheads!"

"Tsk... swearing doesn't suit you Cynthia. I think we have enough time of chit chatting... I'm losing time and I can't waste it any longer."

"W-What...."

"Ultimate Dark Magic: Alternation... Nightmare Slumber." he chanted as a black magic circle appeared in front of my face. My eyes went huge as dinner plates. I was in shock and in fear, I couldn't do anything but stare. I trembled of what would happen to me, afraid that I would lose conscious and die as his puppet.

I felt the cold tingles of his dark magic lingering over my body, covering my figure within its shadows, sinking me inside. I struggled myself out of its grasp, but to my avail it didn't work out, it only tightened its grip on me. My whole body was consumed except for my face.

"You bastard... you will pay!" I snarled as he brought his face closer to me.

"Sleep... my queen." he chuckled evilly before planting a kiss on my forehead.

"The time for you to awaken will be soon... have a pleasant dream... Cynthia Adara." he whispered before letting me go and heard him to walk out of the room, leaving me in chains.

The darkness to consume my very being as I felt it to slowly wrap itself around my jawline then towards the bridge of my nose. I felt weak, tormented, pathetic. I can't believe I let myself fall into like this. How can I?! I'm so weak...I'm so disappointed in myself. Why me?

'I'm sorry everyone... I've tried... but I'm losing conscious... please save me soon... before everything will goes as Kurai planned.... Help me.. please...a-and... I'm so sorry Sting... I love you.' I thought with a tear to slid down on my stained and swollen cheek that was already covered in the wrap is the darkness. Soon, my purple lifeless eyes were covered to complete its consumption on me.

My whole world went black.

Kurai's POV

Finally. Cynthia is in my possession and I won't let anyone get in the way. Her power is all for myself and I will make good use of her. As long she takes in the path of darkness that I have drowned her in.

Yes... this is a perfect way to use her powers. But what surprised me was that I've never seen such a beautiful woman she was. She was something interesting and it pleases me to see her weak. Her glassy purple orbs that got me excited and intrigued with. Why did Lord Zeref fall for someone like her? Now I understand. But I won't let your appearance weaken me. That is not what I am here for.

She would become the angel of darkness. Her purity will soon turn into crisp and the shadows will overcome her light. I will make sure that she doesn't go back to the light, that she would become my tool and source of magic. Also as our queen to rule over our new world that is soon to become. Even if she doesn't want to, she is forced and I won't take no for an answer.

But the way on how she became tough to challenge me in her prison cell. It was very fascinating to see someone like herself to actually have the guts to talk back. Usually when I deal with many other women, they would either get scared or scream in agony, wanting to escape my evil grasp. Which I most favor and finish them off easily. But she was different. I liked her sassiness and courage. She was definitely interesting to keep.

"Master."

"What do you need, Hotaru?" I asked in a bored tone, before taking a sip on my red wine to stare at my servant below.

"Were the slaves not much to your liking?"

"Hm? Oh.. those pieces of crap? They were not that exciting... but there is something more that I am excited about." I smirked.

"And what would that be, Master?" he arched an eyebrow.

"For our Queen to awaken any moment now."

"Our Queen...?"

"Yes. Cynthia will become that Queen. Her Light magic has an alteration to Darkness. They are both opposites to each other. If one is in the light, they will shatter into the dark. That is what I am exactly doing with Cynthia right now, in her prison." I laughed.

"..."

"Are you not pleased with our new Queen?" I glared to see him with a slight irritated expression.

"N-No... I just thought that you would be a better fit to rule the world." he said while gritting his teeth.

"Don't you dare defy me, you low class demon!"

"F-Forgive me..."

"Ah. Whatever. If you do, you know the consequences for anyone who dares to disagree with me. You of all demons should know that Hotaru."

"Yes Master."

"Now. I want you to do something for me."

"What would that be my Lord?"

"Take Cynthia down from those chains and bring her in my chambers. But I forbid you to do anything foolish or stupid. Don't dare to go against my back. I will kill you in an instant." I sneered.

"Of course Master. Is there anything else?"

"Prepare for the upcoming battle... I have a feeling that her so called friends of hers are coming to save her. I want you to bring out the SS-Class Demons. I won't no one... none of those humans alive and out." I said making my tone cold and expressionless.

"Very well Master. If you would excuse me."

"Good. You shall go and remember my words Hotaru. You will meet an unpleasant death if you ever try."

"Yes Master." Within a few seconds later, he left me alone in my throne room leaving me in my thoughts. War is just about to be coming soon. After all, there are humans who would want to save their precious Cynthia who was captured. I snickered at the thought to feelings.

Feelings are a waste of time and they ruin you. Who needs them anyways? All I need is power, and death is what makes me tenacious. However, whenever I see my foolish demon pet, Hotaru, he seems to be very unpleasant about my word of making Cynthia our Queen. What utter disrespect. Was he starting to feel conflicted with good and bad?! He's a demon with no heart.

What a fool he was. There's no possible way that he can nurture feelings of such disinterest. It's despicable and dissatisfying to my taste. Hotaru.. the demon fool. Yet he was still my trustworthy demon second in command that I have.

War was coming. These foolish people don't stand a chance against me or my demons. They'll die easily within a second nor will they be strong enough to bring back their lovely Cynthia. She is mine. Our Queen and no one can take her away... not like they can change her mind. I chuckled at the thought before taking another sip of my wine. She is now merging with darkness, and darkness will be her new home. No light shall ever brighten her day.

Not anymore.
