Natsu
"Lucy...LUCY!!"
Right as I sneakily enter with Larcade inside the warehouse, I see Lucy tied up and being tortured and humiliated in front of all those men! I take out my gun and shoot fire at the men in anger.
"You son of a bitch!!" I yell out, shooting at everyone.
"Look who is here! The dragon came to rescue his princess! And I can see that Larcade came as well! Boys, get them!" The blonde yells out, and the two of us get surrounded.
"Natsu! This isn't going as planned!" Larcade yells out, pointing the gun at the men.
"Fuck the plan! Lucy is here and that changes everything! Lucy, I'm going to get you out of here! I promise you!" I yell out, my heart aching just to see her like this.
One of the men knocks out Larcade with his gun and I grit my teeth. Someone knocks down my gun and pulls my arms to my back, taking me to where Lucy and that bastard is at.
"Nice to meet you, Natsu. My name is Jackal. And I've been here attending your beloved girlfriend, Lucy. Doesn't she look great?" Jackal says, laughing.
I take a look at Lucy, and her clothes were torn, bruises were everywhere on her body, a wound was at the side of her stomach, and right next to her, I see a pain management electric device.
"Lucy...oh my goodness. I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry." I said, tears pooling in my eyes.
"N-Natsu...help me." She says, muttering.
"Alright, enough of that! Boys, tie him up to a chair please! And bring out a really nice bed for Lucy and I. You're about to see your girl get fucked."
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!! I'm going to kill you, you son of a bitch!! You're going to regret this! I'm going to make you fucking pay for what you did to Lucy! I can guarantee you!" I yell out, being forced to sit down on a chair.
They tie my hands down on the chair, including my legs. I grit my teeth, trying to struggle. Later on, his men bring out a bed and Jackal unties Lucy, who was begging him not to harm her.
"P-Please...don't do this. Don't hurt me." She says, tears sliding down her cheeks.
She's crying. That bastard made her cry!
I breath heavily, trying to yank these ropes off of my ankles and wrists! Jackal lays Lucy down on the bed, who kept wincing, sobbing, and crying. Suddenly, Jackal touches Lucy's wound, making her scream in pain.
"AGHH!!"
"STOP IT!!"
Jackal only laughs as a response, and mounts on top of Lucy. I look away, not wanting to see Lucy being raped by another man! But one of his men grabs my head, making me look at the direction of them. Tears slide down my cheeks as I hear Lucy screaming and sobbing, and Jackal's grunting.
"N-Natsu..." Lucy sobs out, and my lips quiver.
I can't do anything to save her. I know deep down she's telling me to get this bastard off of her! But I can't! And that's what sucks!!
All of a sudden, I don't hear Lucy cries anymore. It seems that she's just letting it happen because there's nothing that she and I can do. Jackal gets off her, leaving Lucy on the bed as he buckles up his pants again.
Just when I thought the tears had stopped, more came out from my eyes. Lucy sits up from the bed, pulling the bedsheets towards her, crying. Jackal's men unties me and they all leave, leaving Lucy and I alone.
I slowly stand up from the chair, my body trembling and my heart aching. I approach Lucy, and sit down on the bed next to her. She scoots away, thinking that I'm one of Jackal's men.
"P-Please...don't hurt me anymore." Lucy says, and I try to gulp down a lump from my throat.
"I'm not going to hurt you, Lucy. I'm Natsu, remember? I...I would never hurt you." I say, slowly leaning my hand to caress her cheeks.
She flinches at my touch, but looks up at me. Tears slide down her cheeks, and vise versa. I gulp, and she muffles her crying, leaning her head against my shoulder.
"Y-You're here. You came for me, Natsu." She says, softly crying.
"I'm so...sorry. I-I couldn't protect you like I promised you. This is all my fault for being so stubborn and selfish! If only I hadn't left you back at the house, you wouldn't have had to endure all of this torture! I'm so sorry, Lucy! I've hurt you so many times." I said, breaking down.
"N-Natsu, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself, please."
"Of course it is!! I promise, I won't ever leave you alone ever again! You'll always be by my side and this time, for sure, I'm going to protect you with my life. I don't care what it takes as long as you're safe." I said, giving her a hug.
"It...it was so horrible, Natsu. He tortured me, humiliated me in front of others, and raped me. All I wanted at that moment was to die. I still do."
"No, don't say that, Lucy. It's going to be okay. That bastard will pay for everything he's ever done to you! You're strong, beautiful, and smart! You can handle any obstacle life throws at you."
I take off my sweater and wrap it around Lucy, who was shivering from the cold. All of a sudden, Jackal comes back, and I glare at him, protecting Lucy.
"What a touchy reunion. Man, that was pretty emotional right there! But it was stupid. Now, it's time for round two, Lucy!" Jackal says, and I widen my eyes.
"R-Round two!? What are you talking about!? Haven't you had enough!?" I yell out, holding Lucy tightly.
"Nah, this girl is your weakness, Natsu. And she's the one that's making you suffer. Basically, if I hurt her, it hurts you more. And I'm planning on keeping it that way. Get her, boys!"
"N-No...I don't want to go. Natsu!" Lucy yells out, and the men come, surrounding the bed.
"You're going to have to kill me first!! There's no way I'm letting you bastards get near Lucy after what you have done to her! Over my dead body."
Anger fumes inside me and a man comes grabbing Lucy. I punch him across the face and I breathe in frustration.
"Fighting back, are we? I see, I see."
Suddenly, a bullet enters my leg and I yell in pain, falling down on the opposite direction of Lucy. That gives an advantage for the men and they grab her with my sweater around her.
"No...no! Please, don't take her! I'm begging you!! Don't touch her!" I yell out.
A group of guys grab me by my arms, pulling me back.
"No!! Where are you taking me!? Let me go! Natsu!" Lucy shouted, and I grit my teeth, my heart thumping in anxiety.
I put pressure down on my wounded leg and glare at the bastard who hurt Lucy. He just stares at me and laughs, joining the others. I take out my phone and call in Erza's number. Larcade and I might have thrown our other phones away, but we purchased new ones in case of an emergency so FairyTail wouldn't track us down.
"Hello!? Who is this?!" Erza yells out, and shooting can be heard on the other side of the call.
"Erza, I'm Natsu. I can't talk to you loudly right now but Larcade and I are trapped inside here where Zeref is located. Lucy is here as well and those assholes tortured her. You need to come here now." I whisper.
"What!? Lucy was tortured!? Is she alive!? How is she?!"
"She's doing terrible. But I can't explain it to you on the phone. I'll send you the coordinates right now. Come this instant!"
"Natsu, they attacked us at the house! It was Zeref's doing! They captured Lucy and brought her to where you're at! Many are wounded!"
"Listen, I only need you, Mira, Jellal, and Gajeel to come! You guys are the best shooters we have so please, all of you four come!"
I go to my phone and send the coordinates and the location towards Erza's phone. It finally sends and I look up to see if anyone's coming.
"I got them. Don't worry, we'll be right there. Just hang in there! See you soon."
Erza hands up and I put my phone away quickly, sighing. I stand up from the corner of the bed and limp towards the direction they had taken Lucy.
And where the Hell did they take Larcade? I just hope they're not torturing him.
Same goes for Lucy.
