Pain [Book 1 For Lucy From Fairy Tail]

~Chapter 9~Target~

Lucy's Pov Still, 

I was out of breath, struggling to keep the Star Dress on. I didn't have Aquarius's key back. Meaning there was a huge limit on how long I can use it and what I use it with. Yuri was getting back on his feet looking right toward me. The guild mark on his hand was starting to glow. This was worrying me. I noticed that Larcade was dealing with Rose as he was still standing where he was before. Rose was struggling to keep away from Larcade's blade cross. Dimaria was nearly down wiping the floor with the army.

Brandish was making it no one got into mine and Larcade's fights. I felt my Star Dress magic about to hit low. I knew I had to do something and fast. "You are looking for the Aquarius key correct?" Yuri soon asked as he was now not standing that far away from me. I just glared at him the rage inside of me was still bubbling. I was still sick to my stomach about these people. About their guild. "I know where her key rest" he then spoke as I was frozen. He knew? I wanted to find her key. I didn't know if I could trust him.

"I will tell you if you can stop that guy friend of yours" he then offered as my right hand was shaking slightly. I didn't have the magic to fight this guy. I wanted to find Aquarius's key more than anything yes but to back stab someone who in a way helped me. Who in a way was a reason why I was able to move on. I felt my Star Dress leave me as my hair was now short once again. I was breathing heavy as I went to grab one of my keys. Yuri had water come out of the ground. Some were around my wrist lifting me into the air.

The water acted like chains holding me in place. Yuri walked toward me as I was struggling to get free. My body was being affected with using the Aquarius Star Dress. Without her key using her dress would have a small toll on me. "You are different to a normal Celestail Mage" Yuri spoke using his hand to grab the bottom of my face. Pushing the bottom parts of my cheeks toward each other. He was thinking of what to do to me. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER" Brandish shouted sending a explosion wave onto Yuri.

He was pushing back a little his hand finally off my face. It was painful. Yuri was looking toward Brandish who was glaring at him. "You care for the two blondes huh?" Yuri asked smirking as Brandish looked at him confused. Soon water came out the ground grabbing Dimaria just like how I was. Dimaria was made to drop her sword as she was struggling to get free from the water. Brandish looked worried and she kept looking toward me and then Dimaria. "I love this game" Yuri sang as my mind went to Jackal.

How he would hurt people and force them to chose. "Now then that guy does count as a blonde but we will add him later" Yuri spoke as I couldn't see Larcade or Rose anywhere. Most likely moved the fight away so Yuri could do this. "You can pick green bean, what girl is aloud to be freed and try and fight, also what girl doesn't get freed and will have great amount of pain until you guy can defeat me" he then spoke looking at Brandish as there was something else. He wasn't playing this to see her choice.

He had something else in mind. Another goal. "Brandish pick Dimaria" I soon spoke shocking both Brandish and Dimaria as Yuri smirked looking toward me. "You care for them both also" he spoke as I smirked slightly. He was soon confused. "Yes I do. I do care for my friends and I am not scared like you do make them" I soon spoke as he was a little shocked at first but soon burst out laughing as I gave a small quick wink to Brandish. She nodded as she rushed to Dimaria's side. Keeping him busy.

He was too interested in learning about me. A easy weakness to see and use. "You are not scared of the pain or of death girl?" Yuri soon asked as I looked at him still smirking slightly. He was different to the killer Rose. "I am not, I have been through the worse pain that I could ever go through so try it buddy" I then spoke harshly toward him as Yuri was amused. I was a little confused on why he wanted to know me. "Rose I found us a new member" Yuri nearly shouted as I froze in shock and confusion.

New member? I had lost my smirk as I was glaring at him. "LIKE HELL I WOULD JOIN YOU!" I shouted upset as he was now right up in my face looking right at me. "That is why we have a member who can just change your memories, thoughts and feelings" Yuri then sang as I did have some fear grow inside of me. Change my memories. I couldn't let him do that. I wasn't breaking my last promise to Natsu. I was never going to forget him. Yuri was still in my face as he must of saw that I was a little scared.

That I didn't want my memories to be changed. "You are now my target even if you got away now my guild will find you" he soon spoke as I was too weak to struggle. Using the Aquarius Star Dress. I normally had more power and a long time with it. Then again there was so much water I was blocking. "And we will kill everyone of them" Dimaria and Brandish both spoke their voices were harsh and deadly as Yuri looked toward them. "Damn I had to much fun" Yuri sighed as Dimaria was holding her sword once again.

She was pointing it toward Yuri. "Why do you even want her?" Brandish soon asked as they was getting ready to jump at him. He was still very close next to me. "Element Keys along with such a powerful Celestail Mage. Who wouldn't want that in an army?" Yuri answered back with a small question. He lifted his hand as it started to rain badly. Once again. A water mage. Meeting two water mages that could be as strong or even stronger than Juvia worried me slightly. I had to think of something fast.

"METAL" I then shouted as I was using every bit of magic I had left in me. My keys were in my pouch on my belt. A light grey glow came from my pouch as Yuri, Brandish and Dimaria were looking at me shocked. Soon Metal showed up in front of me, punching Yuri around the face. Yuri went flying into a building. "Been needing to hit someone" Metal spoke as he looked toward me. I smiled slightly. "Thank you" I spoke as Brandish used her magic to make the water around my arms to big to hold me.

I fell onto my feet as we all turned our heads to see Yuri getting up. He was laughing like a made man as I wouldn't lie. It scared the crap out of me. I was going to have nightmares. "You are just making me want you more and more Blondie. I would watch your back my dear target" he spoke as he turned into water flying up into the sky before it cleared up. "Larcade" me, Brandish and Dimaria spoke at the same time. All three of us worried as we rushed off to see him walking toward us smiling.

He didn't have one bruise on him. Us three girls let out a sigh of relief as Metal came over. "I would be careful in the mountains even though we can't tell you the key location exactly I can say she is up there somewhere" Metal spoke looking toward me. My eyes widen as I was getting hope. I couldn't help but smile brightly. "Thank you Metal" I spoke as he smiled at me before vanishing back into his world. "You are a target now Lucy" Brandish spoke worried as I rubbed the back of my head.

"That is not very new with me" I sighed remembering the times I did need saving from Fairy Tail. Dimaria laughed as she made her sword vanish. "Next time we see that water guy, I will chop off his head" Dimaria spoke smirking as Brandish smiled slightly shaking her head. We soon started moving toward the mountains once more. Brandish and Dimaria up ahead talking. Both giggling every so often or teasing the other. "Are you alright?" Larcade soon asked me as I looked toward him. 

He was looking at me. He must of been able to see right through the fake magic wall I had put up. "Fine" I answered smiling at him as he nodded. Even if I was now a target. I wasn't going to stop. I wasn't going to be slowed down. I was finding Aquarius's key. No one was getting in my way.
