Don't Just Survive, Live

Chapter Seven: Getting Saved

"So he is alive?" The man smiled. "Good."

"What do you want with Gray?" Lucy narrowed her eyes at him.

"Nothing. I am thankful." He defended. "I'm his father, Silver Fullbuster."

Lucy nodded. "You seem to look alike, but I thought you died? Gray was the only survivor of the family."

"I did die that night." He admitted. "I was revived though, by a member of Tartaros' nine Demon gates. He is also here. He controls me, I'm his puppet." He gritted his teeth. "I thought Gray had died that night, along with his mother. But I was wrong. How is he?"

"He's doing well." Lucy smiled weakly. "He joined Fairy Tail and is on the strongest team. He's really happy there."

"That's good." Silver smiled. "Now let's get you out of here."

As he put his hand on the chains to freeze them a voice interrupted and made him stop what he was doing.

"Silver, what are you doing to our little demon? Having a little more fun since you're bored?" A feminine voice spoke.

She came out of the darkness, having no mask on or cloak. Her long purple hair and yellow horns surprised Lucy. Was she not human?

"Seilah, I was just messing with her. You were right, I do get quite bored around here." Silver responded, moving away from Lucy, not looking at her once.

Sting fluttered his eyes open and got up, being careful not to wake Lector. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair was a mess. His small nuckles were bloody and bruised from trying to break the cage. He was surprised to see Silver and Seilah, he looked at Lucy confused but she was looking at Silver.

"Her father has a request." Seilah glanced at Sting and Lector. "Stop at nothing until she finally lets go."

Silver nodded. "Will do."

"No Silver, I will do it. You go and rest or something, I don't care. Just leave." Seilah had an evil glare in her eyes.

Sending a worried glance at Lucy, he obeyed and left the room.

"What did you two talk about?" Seilah asked, she had noticed the worried glance Silver had sent Lucy.

"Nothing, he was checking if I was still alive." Lucy answered, her once full of life eyes were now dull.

"Is that so? Hm, I wonder if he's getting soft. I'll have to talk to him about it later. But for now, let's work on your demon side." Seilah walked over and unchained her.

Lucy fell to the ground and landed on her knees, she groaned in pain. Everything hurt.

"Get up."

The blonde mage did as she was told and stood up wobbly. Seilah pulled back her fist before letting it fly. It smacked into Lucy's face and she went flying back. She hit the wall and she heard a crack, and it wasn't the wall behind her.

"Lucy!" Sting cried out, gripping the ice bars tightly.

Lector had waken up and he was hugging Sting's waist, shaking and crying.

Ignoring Sting, Seilah waited until Lucy got back up. She stumbled forward and swung her right fist wildly.

"Let it go, Lucy. Let the curses flow through you and the demon pop out." Seilah told her, catching her fist and kneeing her in the stomach.

Crying out in pain, blood flew out of Lucy's mouth and she toppled over. Some of her bones were broken, she knew it. She could barely get up.

"Maybe, if I hurt your little friend over here. Will you let your demon side soar?" Seilah walked over to the ice cage. "Silver! Take down the cage." She yelled loudly.

A few moments later, the cage vanished. Lucy's face drained of color. The purple haired demon grabbed Sting by the color and dragged him in front of Lucy.

"Let go of me!" He struggled and bucked.

Seilah stared at Lucy as she dropped Sting and her eyes started glowing. Sting stopped struggling and he seemed to have froze.

"Attack me." She ordered.

Sting had lifeless eyes as he did was he was ordered. Every time he tried to hit her, Seilah would easily stop the attack and hit him twice as hard. Soon, he was bloody and all beaten up, but he still kept fighting. He couldn't seem to stop, even though his brain was screaming at his body to stop.

"Stop it!" Lucy screamed, gathering enough strength to jump at Sting. They collided and Lucy quickly wrapped her arms around his small body, pulling him close. "Let him go!"

Sting wanted to cry and stop but he couldn't, no matter what he did, he kept walking towards Seilah. But he wasn't strong enough to pull away from Lucy. Every time he tried, she would hold on tighter.

"I'll do it!" Lucy suddenly screamed. "I'll let it happen, just please don't hurt him!" Tears were streaming down her face as she held Sting and looked at Seilah.

"Stop Sting." The demon ordered. "Do it the-"

"LUCY!" A very loud voice shouted before there was a huge explosion.

"What the-what is the meaning of this?" Seilah looked confused.

Lucy took the chance and grabbed Sting, dragging him to where Lector was, where she hugged them protectively. A few seconds later, five figures barged in the room, including two flying cats. Gray, Wendy, Carla, Happy, and Natsu.

Wendy ran over to Lucy and hugged her, tears forming in her eyes. "I was so scared, you said you wouldn't leave me. And when you didn't come back from the mission I was so frightened!"

"It's alright Wendy, I promise." Lucy told her, before collapsing.

"Get her out of here!" Gray demanded.

"You look like Silver." Seilah stated, looking him up and down.

"Ice Make: Hammer!" Gray ignored her and started fighting.

"Ice magic." She commented, easily dodging.

"Ice Make: Spear!" His ice formed a spear and he threw it at her. She dodged again but she widened her eyes as Gray ran towards her and threw his fist at her face.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu stepped in.

The fire hit Seilah straight on and she went flying into the wall behind her. She groaned as she got up. With lightening speed, she ran passed them until she was no longer in sight.

"How could you let her escape?!" Gray shouted at Natsu.

"That was your fault, ice princess!" Natsu and Gray hit heads, throwing insults at each other.

"Can you stop fighting!?" Erza came out of nowhere and smacked their heads together. "Now where is Lucy and Wendy?"

"Over here Erza." Wendy's small squeaky voice came from the corner of the room where Lucy was.

All of them jogged over to the four.

"Who are they?" Happy asked, floating over Sting and Lector.

"The boy seems to be the same age as Wendy." Gray commented.

"They're all sleeping now, I tried to heal them but I don't have enough magic to heal them all." Wendy looked down, disappointed with herself. "But the boy is named Sting, Lucy and I met him along time ago, when we first met. I don't know who the cat is though."

"The cat seems to be like Happy and I." Carla pointed out.

"Maybe he's a dragon slayer too!" Natsu said excitedly.

"Maybe. But let's get them to the guild. They are injured and need their rest." Erza picked up Sting.

Wendy picked up Lector while Gray got Lucy.

"Hey, I wanted to carry her!" Natsu complained to Gray.

"Too bad, dragon breath! She probably wouldn't want you to anyways!" Gray retorted.

"Enough!" Erza interrupted them. "You're gonna wake them up!"

"Yes ma'am." Natsu and Gray both replied, gulping in fear.

Hey, if you think it's going to fast, just say so, i'll try to slow it down (:

It is a little short but hopefully the next chapters will be longer
