A/N: This is a major rewrite

Please enjoy?

Lucy had enough. She had with these people. Fairy Tail was her home...her family. The only question that remains in her mind is: Where are they!?

It had been days...which been stretched into weeks, then into months. Three months, Lucy been the victim of their tortures. But to the blonde, it felt longer than three months.

Today, they announced a special treatment for Lucy. They wouldn't tell her what it was, which made Lucy more frightened. She wanted to go home. Go back home to the security and warmth of her home, her family, her friends, and Erza...Oh Erza...she misses her. Where is she? Why had she not found her yet?

Lucy sat in a cell, with her arms tied behind her, tied to a pole. She waited and she waited and she waited for them...She waited for the rescue of her friends. She couldn't do anything. Why can't she escape? Because she has no means to summon her spirits? Because she's weak? Because she's scared?

Then a door opened and Incas Noxx came in with a smirk that Lucy came to fear. It meant that the torture would be...painful.

"Today will be special...Lucy." Incas smiled evilly. "We'll be doing it in here..."

Two more men walked into the room. They were empty handed, but Lucy knew better. They will probably hit her with some magic of theirs. Just what will they do?

"Before we start, tell me, do still you believe that Fairy Tail will come and save you?" Incas asked.

Lucy remained silent. She wants to believe that'll come. She wants to...she needs faith...but...

A sharp kick met with Lucy's face. "I asked you a question!" Incas yelled.

Lucy wanted to cry. She wanted to scream. She wanted to hope. But she didn't, and she won't.

Incas was tempted to kick her again, but decided against it. He turned to the two men and gestured them to do their job.

The two men stood in front of Lucy and aimed their magic to Lucy's head.

As the men casted the magic into Lucy's head, Lucy winced at the pain. It was painful...she could see something...but it was too painful. Too painful that it cause her to be knocked out into an unconscious state.

...

Lucy was walking back to her apartment after a long day when they had returned from their job. Lucy was tempted to take a long bath.

Then a sword appeared and embedded itself into the ground, quite dangerously close to where Lucy stood.

"Eh?" Lucy recognized the sword. But why would it be here, and why had it almost cut her?

"Tch. I won't miss next time."

Lucy turned and sees the angriest looking Erza Lucy had ever seen. She could see the rage, the anger, her hunger for blood. What's more was that the entire guild was there with the same volume of hatred.

Lucy paled. Why is she angry with me? She thought while valuing her life.

Erza raised her sword and lunged toward Lucy, aiming for Lucy's heart.

Lucy shrieked as she somehow dodged her attack. She knows that her spirits won't be enough to stop Erza from trying to cut her down. So how can she fight back?

Then Erza pinned Lucy to the ground with force that created a crater beneath her.

"You will tell me." Erza ordered with such venom that made Lucy cower.

Before Lucy could ask what she meant, she blacked out, all the pain disappearing...only slightly.

...

Lucy woke up with the pain screaming at her with hatred.

"Ah, are you awake now?"

Lucy moved her eyes to see Incas Noxx looking down on her with an evil smirk.

"Well...that's the end of today's...treatment. Out of courtesy, we'll give you couple of days to be alone. Hmm...when was the last time you ate?" Incas scratched his chin. "Couple days ago? A week? Well no matter. I'll give you some tomorrow." Then Incas walked out of the room, closing the door rather violently.

Lucy was left alone in the cell...thinking of what she had dreamt. She thought she saw a familiar woman that wanted to kill her. And the people behind her...They all seemed familiar. But they wanted to kill her for some reason. Just...what is Fairy Tail.

The uncertainties, the fear, the doubts, Lucy doesn't know what to think anymore. She wanted this to end...wanted the pain to end. She had long forgotten why she was in there in the first place. Everything hurts, and she wanted it to end.

...

Couple days later, Incas came back into the cell with the same smirk.

"Lucy. How you feeling?"

Lucy chose not to say anything, keeping her head low.

"Lucy, do you still believe that Fairy Tail will come for you?"

Lucy looked up. "Fairy...Tail?"

Incas smirked ever so slightly before smiling. "Well, no matter. I can end your suffering if you are willing to help us with our cause."

Cause? The crippled blonde figured that whatever that cause is the reason she was here. "Lucy, will you help us with the revival of the Black Wizard, Zeref?" Incas said.

Zeref...Lucy is well aware of how evil that man is, and what capable he is. But why is she so tempted to say yes? To end her suffering? No...Zeref is the reason why the blonde is there in the first place. She won't give in. She will not help Zeref.

Lucy looked up to look Incas in the eyes. To stop this man, or to kill this man, Lucy needed to find a way to distract him and catch him off guard.

"Whatever cause it is for, as long I get my revenge." My revenge for you, Incas.

Incas smirked, not yet knowing what Lucy had planned. He released Lucy and let her walk on her own.

When Lucy found that she was now free, she decided to wait until the time is right.

Quietly, Lucy followed Incas into a room, seemingly a nursery. A woman was writing something in her book. When she looked up and sees that Lucy was not in her restraints, she turned to Incas with a scornful look.

"Why isn't she tied up?" The woman inquired.

"Don't worry Ria. She's on our side now." Incas singed.

Ria looked at Incas, then at Lucy, then back at Incas. "You're too carefree. Restrain her."

Lucy quickly and silently searches the room for any weapons she could fine. A spilt second later, Lucy lunged forward, grazing Incas and grabbing a nearby tool, holding it against Incas's neck, dangerously close to piercing his skin.

"This is why you should restrain her, Incas. You stupid airhead!" Ria shouted.

Incas could only chuckle nervously against the tool on his neck.

Lucy looks at the woman. "If you don't want this man to die, then give me the tool to clean and treat these wounds of mine." It was an order, and Lucy have no time to waste. She wanted to get out of here.

Ria hesitated for a moment before leaving to grab some tools to help Lucy tend to her injuries.

Couple minutes later, Ria came back in with the necessities to help Lucy with her wounds.

"Now, put on that table." Lucy ordered.

Ria complied.

"If you value your life, then leave. Tell no one of this."

Ria looks at Incas hesitantly before leaving with haste.

When she was gone, Lucy kicks the man across the room with force that she never knew she had. But she didn't give it much thought before going to the pile of tools and bandages and immediately tended to her injuries.

"Lucy. Will you or will not be a sacrifice for Zeref?" Incas asked as he stood back up, eyeing the blonde with a growing rage emitting from his body.

Lucy slowly turned to see an enraged Incas. She needed to choose her words wisely. "Neither."

Incas narrowed her eyes. "Neither?"

"I will neither be a sacrifice for Zeref, nor will I oppose it. I merely want revenge for those that neglected me. And you will not get in my way."

Incas was in deep thought. "Then why did you attack me?"

Lucy turned away from him, turning back to the pile of tools to tend to herself.

After Lucy was done...well almost all of them. There was some on her back that she couldn't reach. But she should be fine. Lucy eyes a tool and quickly grabs and hiding it from the prying eyes.

She turned to see that Incas was back to normal, with his normal creepy smile, which houses a fearful smirk.

"Ready?" Incas asked.

Lucy nodded.

When Incas turned to walk out of the door, Lucy decided it was time to act. It was now or never.

Lucy lunged forward, taking out the tool to stab him, hopefully killing him. Much to Lucy's discontent, Incas turned with a smirk that Lucy was too familiar with and hit her his magic, sending her across the room.

"Now, you say you want revenge, but who do you want revenge on?" Incas inquired.

Lucy was on her stomach, quietly cursing herself. She knew that she is weak and that she is powerless. What else can she do now?

Lucy was met with another magic, much more painful than the last. "I asked you a question!" Incas yelled.

She mourned, regretting that she didn't kill him when she had the chance. Lucy laid there, wanting this to end. She remembered that she was waiting for someone, but she couldn't remember anymore. It was too blurry now. No one's coming for her.

No one, because she's weak. No one needs a weakling. That's all Lucy can think of and that's all she can remember.

In Lucy's anger and rage, she started unconsciously emit magic from her body, magic that was thought to be drained. The magic turned into a bright golden light, engulfing Lucy in its light, blinding Incas for the time being.

When the light died down, Lucy was standing now, with newfound strength and magic. She had a new attire. Lucy was now cloaked in an elegant, frilled, black gown that is slit up on her left leg and tied with a gold sash sitting around her hip. A black, frilled choker sat around Lucy's neck. She had a detached sleeves of the dress on her arms. Lucy also now sports a black heel and her hair was in a bun, decorated with a flower.

When Incas could see again, he stared at the beauty before him.

As much as Lucy was surprised, she took this chance to kill Incas while he was still dazed. Somehow, Lucy knew what to say, or what to do. Like she had done this before...

"Regulus Gatling Impact!" Lucy yelled, lighting her fists in bright golden light, and brought it violently against Incas's face, not letting up until she herself was tired.

With each punch, she was angry. With each punch, she was filled with rage. With each punch, she was confused. With each punch, she wanted answers.

Lucy had lost count on how many punches she had delivered. Once she was done, red, red was all she could see. Incas was gone. Blood was everywhere. Lucy, however was not satisfied.

Lucy never got the answers she wanted. She wasn't' satisfied. Yet, Lucy was terrified. She had killed someone. Lucy she knew deep inside, that she was the woman that protects others, or tries to.

Lucy stood on shakily legs and sees that she was back to her regular clothes. Taking a deep breath, she runs out of the room, and sees the exit.

She needed to get out of there.
