Dark Romance

"Get out of here!" I yell out to Lucy and Levy " Go!-" I freeze on the spot. This magical power is so terrifying. I look at Lucy and Levy and they've disappeared. Thank goodness.

If they go back and report to the guild. Gray sama will hear of this and he will come to save me.

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

"Off to this job we go! With just us girls. It feels somewhat nice" said Lucy.

"I wanted to go on a job with Gray sama~" I whine.

"Maybe next time you'll get to go," said Levy " But now let us enjoy our time"

I read our job description again. " this still feels weird. They need only girl mages who are strong and determined. But the job is not even that difficult.

" I think we're here?" said Lucy. We stop and stare at the village. "This is not what I expected at all"

this village is quiet and empty like a ghost town. No one is out and it looks like ruins. An old lady run out to us. " You have to hide quickly!" she cries "Hurry!" We run to her. " What's going on?" we ask.

" First come inside. It's not safe out here"

I have a bad feeling about this. We walk inside and it's pitch black.

I feel a push and the lights turn on. My eyes widen. We're in a locked cage that's been cover in runes.

" What the hell?" whispered Lucy.

Three men walk out laughing. "These are the stupid young mages huh? Nice. You got the golden one's granny"

" A deals a deal. Now return my granddaughter"

" Return her?" they laugh and threw a hairpin to the lady.

"W-what does this mean?"

" That means she failed to pass the test and so she's dead"

Her eyes widen and tears came into her eyes. "You bastards!" she screamed and attack the men but is stabbed by another behind her. He looks scary, terrifying. his magic is full of fear. What is he? The lady looks up at us with guilt in her eyes. " Sorry" she whispers to us before passing.

The three of us stay close together and hold each other's hands. "Fairy Tail brats. Nice" he whispers and looks at Lucy. I have joined the later than them but...I stand in front of the two. I am in S class and so I am their senpai. I glare back at him.

"I like the looks in your eyes they remind me of someone" he whispered.

"Lord Herron" they call him "Great lord of fear" and they bow down to him.

" take them"

" We are going nowhere," said Lucy.

"Stubborn ones I see," say Herron and stare right at Lucy. She begins to scream and cry out.

"L-Lucy" stutter Levy "W-what's wrong"

"What did you do!" I shouted.

"Do you not know me?" he asks then laugh " I am the god of fear" he looks deep into my soul and then I'm trapped in a nightmare.

When I'm awake I see Lucy and Levy together looking at me worried.

I sit up and look around. "where are we?" I ask them. " It's okay" whisper Levy " I've been keeping track of our location. I've left marks"

"We're going to have to attack," said Lucy.

"How? We're trap in runes"

" This rune has rules" whisper Levy "we just have to follow it"

"Kill" she whispers, " It says if we kill then we can leave"

" Kill what?" I ask.

Levy begins to think " This is a vague rule." she said. A fly flew in and we look at each other smirking. I trap the fly in my water quietly while lucy keeps watching. Levy takes out a handkerchief and cover the fly and then step on it. The runes break alerting the others.

"What the hell?!" I hear someone shout.

"Gate of the-" before Lucy finishes her key is taken away from her in a flash. She's kicked down.

"Lucy!" shouted Levy.

I attack the man and shield Lucy and levy. Levy carries Lucy and they quickly walk away. I follow them from behind slowly.

"No my keys" cry Lucy " I need to get my keys"

" Don't worry Lucy we'll get them!"

" I can't leave my keys!"

"You're injured from that kick"

" he's strong" Lucy mumble and cough out blood " Too strong"

"I'll go get your keys," says levy. 

"n-no!" said Lucy.

"I'll get them," I tell the two. " Lucy's in no condition to fight. You two escape and tell the others. I will buy you time"

"But Juvia-" I made a water wall between us and that is how it went.

Now I'm in magic chains that seal my magic away. Until I'm out of these chains I won't be able to use my magic.

A blindfold is put on me. Once they're removed, my eyes widen. There are hundreds of women in here. They all look at me afraid. I'm kicked to the rest of the crowd. At the same time, new ones are also kicked in too.

No one moved until the men were gone.

"w-what's happening?" a girl cry out.

A girl came out and help me up. " I'm Rose," she says. Everyone has a chain on.

"What's going on here?" I ask.

" We were all either kidnapped or tricked into coming here. Harren is looking for the strongest maiden of the mages"

" Why?" I ask.

" He's going to have that maiden be the mother of his demon army"

Rogue POV 

"that village" The man pointed out " That village has evacuated because of the number of girls getting kidnapped. Guild are losing their mages too"

"Looks like a dark guild's doing" say sting.

" I don't know. I have a bad feeling" I mumble.

" What do you mean?" laugh sting " Probably just-"

" Don't misunderstand," said the man " Lord Harren is...the god of Fear"

"What do you mean?"

"His powers are the control of emotions."

"is there such magic like that?"

" I'm leaving. I can't stay long" said the man and he leaves. I look at Sting and he looks at me. "I have a question" tell Sting.

"What?" ask Sting. I pull out a drawing. " Do I seriously look like him?"

"You do"

" I guess so" We've caught the so-called Prince. His father Harren has been kidnapping mages who are girls and none of them have returned alive.

How did we catch the prince? Well, sting mistook him for me and we caught him. It looks that his powers are seal away by these magic chains. We have made the exact chains that look alike but will not seal my powers. I have them on the same as his. We stripped him and replace my clothes with him. A member who can read memories told us of what happened. It seems that he came out to look for girl mages.

He is beloved by his father and favored heavily.

But some of his memories couldn't be revealed. Hopefully, I won't get caught.

"Don't worry" say sting. "you two act quite alike so you won't get caught that quickly"

"Great" I mumble.

" You'll be fine." says sting "We did cast a spell on your right hand. Whenever you have to tell or show us something just activate it. No one will notice"

"I'm not worried at all. Take care of Frosch. See you later" and I walk away making my way to where Harren is.

Gray POV 

"Shut up!" Natsu yells at me.

"Don't

you tell me to shut up!" I yell back.

"Everyone!" shouted Happy " Lucy and Levy are back"

We look at them. "Quick heal Lucy!" shouted Levy.

Wendy runs over and quickly heal Lucy.

"What happened?" ask Erza.

"Where's Juvia?" I ask.

"Juvia is-" Levy stop "I-I..."

" where is she?" I asl again.

" I don't know. I don't remember"

"Lucy?" I ask "where is Juvia"

" I can't recall anything. We were on our way to a job. then...I don't remember"

" All I remember" started Levy " Is that a bright light appears and I see Lucy injured. I look around for juvia and can't find her so I brought Lucy back here to the guild"

"What was the job that you guys took?" asked Natsu.

" It was-" Lucy begin to cry " I can't remember"

" I'm sorry" cry out Levy " I can't remember anything!"

"What's going on?" ask Gramps walking towards us.

"We're sorry. But We just can't recall anything"

"Calm down for now," said Gramps.

"I can't I don't why I'm so sad all of a sudden" cry Lucy " I feel so sad I can't stop these tears"

Levy wipes her tears " It's not stopping"

" What's happening?" I ask him.

"something strange. For now, take care of them and see what's happening."

"What about Juvia?" ask Erza "She's out there. We'll have to go search for her"

"We don't have any clues leading to Juvia. Our only clues are Lucy and Levy but they're not well. We're going to have to wait"

" What about Mira?" asked Wendy "I remember seeing Mira give them the job"

"Where is she?"

" she's not here she's gone off to a job!"

"A job?! To go on a job again...and today of all days" mumble Erza.

"I know where sis went I'll go get here!" said Elfman.

"I'll go too" say Lisanna.

Juvia POV 

"What is this," I say terrified.

"It's the battleground. watch" say Rose and two girls walk out to the arena and runes surround them. their chains are unlocked and the two fought.

"Why are they fighting each other? We're supposed to be fighting him!" I pointed to Harren sitting up high on his throne looking down on us.

" We can't we are useless right now" say rose "If you step into the arena, Runes will appear and you must fight until one dies"

My eyes widen "What?"

"That's the rules of the runes. You must fight until one is dead"

"What is all of this for"

" I told you didn't I? He's looking for a mother to bear his demon army. The stronger the mother the stronger his demon army will be"
