YOUZIES' READING MAH STORYYY~!! *dies from pure excitement* KYAAAA!!

So, I'm updating this early, since midterms are tomorrow and this is the only time I have with my computer before my dad puts me on complete "study-mode". Wish me luck taking tests in the hell-hole known as school. *does Hunger Games gesture & whistle*

"No, no, it's fine, Darren." You hear a voice you know all too well. It wheezes before speaking again, "Well, well.. It's been a long time..

My daughter."

------------------------------

A nervous Sting Eucliffe paces back and forth in the Sabertooth guild hall. "A week." He tries his hardest not to hyperventilate. "She's been gone for a week!"

"Sting, only a week." Rogue speaks, but then decides to stop due to the look on the white dragon slayer's face.

Orga decides to try next, "Sting, you can't worry all day--"

BANG!

And there lies a broken table. Sting slides to the ground, pulling his legs close to his body and his head onto his knees. He looks up at the ceiling for a moment, and breathes in. Out. In. Out. He lets a tear fall, and stands up.

"I'm going to The (L/N) Family Mansion. Minerva, you're in charge. Rogue, Lector, Frosch, let's go."

---

"Calm down, Titania, it's only been a week.." The red haired woman tells herself as she paces around the room. She stops to calm a fight. "SHUT IT, YOU TWO, I'M TRYING TO THINK!"

"YES MA'A-"

"I'M GOING TO THE (L/N) FAMILY MANSION, WHO'S WITH ME?" The doors burst open, once again. Sting Eucliffe stood there, a huge grin on his face.

"AYE!!" The guild shouts.

"Wait, all of you?" Sting is taken aback.

"AYE!!"

"You're kidding."

"NO, SIR!" Happy flies into Sting's face. "This guild is willing to do anything for a nakama[1], that's just Fairy Tail for ya!"

---

It's been a week or two. Your father brought you back 'home', and you stayed there. You were stuck in your room, with your 'fiancé', Klein. He expects you to mate with him, but things aren't going well.. At the moment, he's beating you up.

"Goddamnit, (Y/N), just shut up and let me!" Klein inches closer to you, your bloodstained, scarred face millimeters away from his. You haven't slept; you're afraid to. Your father's servant comes every once in a while to give you food, but otherwise, you never see your father himself. "Come on, princess, just at least let me mark you."

"DON'T. CALL ME. BY. THAT. NAME!" Tears form in your eyes as he uses the nickname Sting gave you, and you bash his head into the wall with your elbow. Your hands and ankles are chained to the bed.

He gets up, and fixes his hair. 'Douche,' you think. "I'll be back later." He walks out of the room, the magic barrier allowing anyone but you to escape. "Maybe next time I'll be able to change your mind."

---

"Where exactly is the (L/N) Mansion?" Lucy asks, trekking the land alongside the twin dragons and Team Natsu. The guild follows behind, and the exeeds fly above.

"Uh.." Sting stops. "I.. um.."

"YOU DON'T KNOW?" The guild sweat drops.

"I know!" Lucy says, "How about we try the Heartfilia estate, and we'll split up from there!"

"Actually, that isn't a bad idea." states Erza, "if the (L/N)'s own a mansion, they're bound to be in vicinity of another rich family's estate."

"WELL THEN, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S GO FIND (Y/N) AND KICK HER DAD'S ASS!"

-So, I'm gonna skip time from Sting's PoV just to catch up with yours-

Fairy Tail, Sting, Rogue and the exeeds have gotten... lost.[2] They're in the middle of nowhere and they've been wandering around for a bit, camping somewhere different every night. And so, it's been a few weeks. I wonder, how's everyone holding up? Let's see, shall we?

Every waking thought, every sleeping breath. You're constantly on Sting's mind.

Rogue worries about you, for you, and Sting's condition. He barely talks, eats, and when he sleeps, it's not for long.

Team Natsu is somewhere else due to Lucy's idea of splitting up, and so is Fairy Tail's other teams. Rogue, Sting and their exeeds are alone.

---

It's been weeks since you've been kidnapped, but not a day goes by where you don't think that Sting will come to your rescue... NOPE, THAT'S ENOUGH LYING. YOU'RE PARTIALLY INSANE FROM KLEIN COMING IN TRYING TO HAVE GODDAMN SEX WITH YOU AND YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK ANY TIME SOON. (And I'm listening to Piano Disney Music that's supposed to be calming AND IT'S FROM MY FAVORITE DISNEY MOVIE..)

"Oh, (Y/N)~!" The door gently creaks open, revealing that disgusting prick known as Klein.

"Get the FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM!" You snap.

"Feisty, huh?"

By now, you're exhausted, and the struggle has just drawn blood. You're beaten and battered, your wrists have lost blood due to your struggling while wearing cuffs. Klein has beaten you once or twice to 'convince' you further.

"(Y/N)." Someone enters the room behind Klein, your father.

"Father." Your image of confidence wavers as the sound of his sneering voice reaches your ears.

He smirks, and coughs a bit. "Klein tells me you've been a bit.. Aggressive, no?"

"What do you want?" You ask, your tone full of hatred. "You obviously want something so just spit it out already."

"Just spit it out you say?" Your father laughs, and goes into another coughing and wheezing fit. "Your and Klein's marriage is to be this evening."

"THIS EVENING?" You shriek.[3]

Your father puts on a cold smile, and gets up to leave. "Best of luck, sweetheart."

You scream, knowing that your father was aware your mother used to call you 'sweetheart' all the time. The door closes, and Klein leaves.

This evening. Your father's words echo in your head. Today.. It can't be today.. Doesn't he know? The anniversary of the day mom died.. "IT CAN'T BE TODAY!" You scream aloud.

---

That afternoon,

"HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT, IT- IT- THAT'S IT!!" Sting screams. He's spotted it. He's smelled it. A Mansion. The (L/N) Family Mansion that was doused in a smell oh-so-close to yours.

A little bit before, Fairy Tail had met up, somehow. Team 'Saber' as they called it, had arrived a bit after. They were ready to make their way in.

---

And hours later.. Here he was, at the door. Sting was at the door, along with everyone else. They were sweating and panting from trying to catch up with him at his abnormally fast pace. He kicked down the door and ran in...,

Coming to a halt.

He let out a breath, and took a haze at his surroundings.. He looked at the paintings.

One of them, a small (h/c) haired, (e/c) eyed baby was being held by a beautiful woman with dazzling (e/c) eyes and auburn-brown hair. Next to her was a man with a valiant smile complimenting his emerald eyes, his (h/c) hair glinting in the light. The caption underneath read; The (L/N) Family, X772- Arielle, Harold, (Y/N) (L/N)

Another was a little girl- you. You held your mother's hand as you frolicked in the meadow, clutching a doll. Your father sat on a bench in the background, a serene smile on his face as he watched his wife and child play. Like the last one, there was a caption underneath; The (L/N) Family, X775- Arielle, Harold, (Y/N) (L/N)
And on the wall, there was a (f/c) crayon scribble under the caption: And ☆Chikai☆[4]

"Huh.." He said breathlessly, "So this was the (L/N) Family.."

A/N - POOF! Most of these chapters are cliffies.. GOMEN'NASAI MINNA-SAN! Eh, whatever I don't care.. It's called;

SUSPENSE!

[1] - Nakama means comrade

[2] - Good for the plot. Go with it. The Heartfilia estate is huge.

[3] - It's better this way, just GO WITH IT.

[4] - Chikai means vow, or promise. Something along those lines, yea.

I have to go study now.. -_-
