Saphir opened the doors to the throne room and stepped inside. She flinched as the doors behind her shut and she walked with firm steps towards Tenebris, that was as usual sitting in his throne.
"Ah, Saphir!" Tenebris beamed, smiling widely. "How nice of you to finally join me."
Saphir bowed.
"Sorry for my lateness." Saphir apologized. "I was, what can I say, busy with girl stuff."
Tenebri nodded, as if understanding.
"Where is Hime?" Saphir asked, looking at the empty spot next to the throne.
"Oh, she is just out on a walk. She got restless and I do understand her." Tenebris said, his smile widening.
"About my sist-"
"Ah, that's right. That is the reason why I brought you here."
Saphir flinched at the dark look he now showed her.
"That little brat betrayed me."
Saphir's eyes widened and she flinched.
"Betrayed?"
"She joined them." Tenebris said, standing up.
Saphir's face color drained.
"Let me clarify some things." Tenebris said as he walked up to her and grabbed her by her chin. He brought her face upwards and her heart almost stopped. "I do not like being betrayed."
Saphir swallowed hard.
"I like you, Saphir, I really do. But someone needs to be punished for the deed your sister committed." He said, or rather hissed.
The grip around her chin tightened and Saphir winced.
"I-I can bring her back, sir! Please, I can talk her o-"
Smack.
She fell to the ground, a stinging pain on her cheek.
~~WTD~~
Everyone stared, their faces ghost white, as the figure in front of them stopped.
The figure tilted her head, holding flowers in her hands. The all to familiar blonde hair was laying on her shoulders.
Mira placed her hands over her mouth, tears appearing in her eyes.
"L-Lucy?"
Lucy stood in front of them, but the fairy tail Lucy was gone. It was instead replaced with nothing. A cold dark nothing. Her eye color was as dull and gray as a cloudy night. Her feet was bloody and the end of her dress was torn.
Her body was pale, as if she would break any minute.
But her expression wasn't dull, nor was it broken, no, she was staring at them with a confused expression.
"Is that really you?" Natsu said, his whole face glowing with worry and shock.
"I don't know who the heck you guys are, but you are trespassing on my love's territory." Lucy said, placing her free hand on her hip.
Levy let out a whimper as she fell to her knees, tears streaming out from her eyes.
Sting and Rogue stared at Lucy with pale faces.
Makarov stared as shocked as them and Gajeel, together Laxus, took a step forward in shock.
"L-lucy? You really don't remember us?" Wendy choked through her tears, Romeo placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Lucy? Why are you calling me that?" Lucy frowned and Gloria took a step forward.
"Hime!"
Lucy turned her attention to Gloria and a smile broke out on her face.
"Gloria! We've been looking for you!" Lucy exclaimed in joy.
Gloria took off and embraced Lucy, Lucy doing the same.
Everyone was speechless and shocked.
Gloria broke the hug and then turned her attention to the fairy tail members.
"Uhm, this is Fairy tail." Gloria introduced, giving them a sorrowful smile.
"Fairy tail? Hm, never heard of it." Lucy said, shrugging.
"We are here to bring you back, Lucy!" Erza yelled at her.
Lucy flinched and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Bring me back?"
"To Fairy Tail, Luce! You can't seriously have forgotten us, have you?" Natsu asked her.
Snap.
"Luce?"
"That's my nickname for you, Lucy! You remember me, right?"
Lucy narrowed her eyes.
"My name is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel."
Lucy flinched, taking a step backwards.
"So this is Natsu Dragneel." She muttered.
"I know who you are." Lucy said.
Natsu's face shone up.
"You do?!"
"Yes, you are my enemy. You tried to kill me."
Those words came down on Natsu hard and his breath hitched. His whole face going blank and pale.
"what?!" Mira screamed, walking up to Natsu.
"Did Tenebris say that?!" Gloria exclaimed, looking at Lucy.
Lucy remained silent.
"Did he!?" Gloria snapped.
Lucy snorted.
"Of course, he did." Lucy admitted with a small smile.
"Lucy." Makarov said.
Lucy turned her attention to him.
"Whatever lies he have told you, they are not true. Natsu would never hurt you. " Makarov said, taking a step forward. "None of us would."
Bisca tightened her grip on Alzack's hand.
"You are one of my children. These, what Tenebris said, enemies are your family."
"My family is dead."
