A/N Woo! Time to get into the meat of the story! Also, please only read the rest of the story if you're okay with graphic scenes (because there definitelyyy will be some) XOXO ~ Vi <3

When Lucy awoke, she didn't recognize where she was.
Darkness surrounded her, the only source of light, though dim, was emitted from her keys.
"Ugh, my head," She groaned, attempting to moving her hand to cradle her throbbing head, but stopping short when she heard a clink.

Lucy glanced up and her eyes widened in surprise. Her arms were shackled to the wall above her, her legs were left free, but she couldn't do much anyways.
What the hell... the last thing I remember was...

Lucy's head was pounding as she tried to recall what had happened to her.
"It gets worse the more I think about it," She tried once more, but ultimately gave up, the pain was just too much.
"How very observant, Lucy Heartfilia." A cold voice uttered.

Lucy's head shot up immediately to look at the person speaking.
"Who are you?!" She demanded, a bead of sweat rolled down her face. She knew fully well she wasn't in a position to order anyone around.
In an instant he vanished and reappeared right next to Lucy.

He stroked a gloved finger along her jawline; Lucy did all she could to avoid showing vulnerability.
"You are not to ask any questions, alright, Lucy darling?" His face contorted, a smug expression dotting his features. It was strange, though. It wasn't just smugness; there was something... wrong about this man. Lucy could almost feel the darkness radiating off of him.

"Let me tell you though, it took far too long to get you here. You're a troublesome one, aren't you?" He snickered at her immediate hatred towards him, not that it wasn't obvious. Lucy merely ignored him with a turn of her head.
"Are you planning to hurt me?" She clenched her jaw as to not show any sign of weakness.

"Now, now... what did I just say?" He clutched her face harshly, his tone of voice changed from playful, yet evident distaste for the young girl to flat out malice.
"I—"

A slap across her face stopped her from talking further.
"Don't fret, I have explicit orders to keep you alive," Lucy held back a sigh of relief, "..but, that doesn't mean I can't play with you a little bit first.." The back of his fingers ran down the sides of her face, stopping at her lips.

A shiver was sent down Lucy's back; she needed to get out of there, now.
"And don't you even think of trying to escape. It's useless. You won't be able to use magic because of those shackles; I however, can use magic as I see fit."

The hope within Lucy was extinguished.
"Who...who told you to keep me here?!" Her voice shook, she knew it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... what a bad girl. You'll have to be punished for this."

As soon as I get outta here, that guy's getting a face full of the Celestial Spirit World! Lucy didn't need to feign fear, she had plenty.
She did pretend to be unfazed by the man.
"I could rip your pride into shreds here and now. But... it'll be much more fun if I do it slowly! Ahaha!"
This guy's a sadist. Lucy glowered at him, staying silent.
His hand glided down her arm and down her leg.

It took everything she had not to flinch.

Instead, she kicked him right in the face as soon as he crouched.
"Agh! Naughty girl, what did I tell you?!" Lucy's wrists suddenly felt as if they were being torn apart from her arms. Searing pain filled the entirety of her being.
Her agonized screams filled the empty hallways.

"I'll keep you like that for a few hours... should be enough for you to break." He chuckled darkly and walked away, basking in the rich sound of Lucy's suffering.

A/N And now we shall begin the slow, yet torturous downfall for Lucy.. physically that is. We've already put her through plenty of emotional pain. c; XOXO~ Vi <3
