-Lucia Heartifilia-Chapter 68

Sting felt anxious lately, he felt like he needed to finish this situation soon to head back to magnolia to set things straight with "lucia". He liked her but he only remembered the parts of their night where she was underneath him and how she would moan out his name pleading him to take her with him. It drove him up a wall that he would come in and out of his conscious state into a blur. He figured out this was his dragon instincts taking over to try claiming her as his mate but he held on just enough to not plant his seed inside her… that's what he thought.

"You okay sting? You seem a bit off.."

*rogue asked sting as he snapped him out of his daze like trance.*

"Nah it's nothing… *sigh* I'm just stressed that I can't seem to finish this sooner then I expected."

*sting sighed as he kept filling out paperwork and other stuff as he sat in his chair in the heart of the sabertooth guild.*

"Really? Well that's interesting, you never seem so eager to finish work so fast before. Maybe you are finally evolving.. heh"

*rogue laughed lightly as he sat on the table watching his shadow on the floor.*

"Yeah… rogue?"

"Mmhm?"

"What would you do if you got into a one night stand with a girl you like but don't want to make things official between you two?.."

*sting tested the waters as he looked to see rogue close his eyes and think a bit*

"Hmm.. I think I would only ask her to meet her a few more times to get to know what type of person she was then make my decision.. why?"

*rogue opened his eyes as he turned to see stings sudden question.*

"It's not really a big deal.. I got into some trouble back at fairy tail after I spent the night their to fulfill natsu-san's son favor of protecting his aunt for the night.. "

*sting kept working as he felt rogue take a seat infront of him as he leaned twords the table.*

"Don't tell me … you slept with her?.."

"I DIDNT SLEEP WITH HER!!! IT WAS MORE OF A MAKE OUT SESSION THAT GOT HEATED QUICKLY..!!"

*sting blushed as he looked at rogue who smirked and leaned back into his chair.*

"Sure… anyways are you planning to ask her out?"

"Not sure.. i like her and all… but I-I don't want things to go so fast.. plus I left her alone for what? 2 weeks now?"

*sting had a point… he had hit that and bounced not even saying a single word of goodbye to her. But it wasn't all his fault since she had escaped before he could catch her to talk to her anew in the morning. It's really been 2 and a half weeks now and he would be spending another 2 weeks by judging the amount of paperwork he got for a accident happening on one of their members missions. He really had a headache already and wasn't feeling too good about leaving her like that.. he needed to see her again and talk to her..*

"*sigh* go… go talk to her sting, I'll give you a weeks time to take a break, find her, and talk to her. While I try finishing this paperwork for you, remember that also our rut is coming up soon in a month so be careful not to do anything stupid again.."

*rogue pulled him out of his chair as he pushed him twords the door while sting fought back with him.*

"What!? Are you crazy? I'm the master I have to stay here until I finish this! I can't be unresponsible just for a one night stand I had. Plus what if she rejects me?"

*sting was trying to find excuses now to not leave the office until rogue said something what every dragon slayer hated hearing.*

"So? You planning to let her go like that? You don't care if someone else comes in and sweep her off her feet? If not then, fine go back to work but stop mopping and complaining."

*rogue waited for a bit until sting began making his way to the door, leaving with a slam to it as he sighed again from how frustrating his 'twin brother dragon' was so complicated sometimes.*

'What a big baby…'

_____________________________________________

Lucia threw up for the 3rd time that day now as she muffled the gaging sound as much as possible in the bathroom. The good thing was that Lucy and natsu had tooken out Nashi and Liddan for a walk leaving her alone at home to rest.

Lucia knew she was pregnant but denied the truth as much as possible. This can't be happening, she didn't want to have a fatherless child like this and burden Lucy more who was also pregnant at 3 months. Lucia had begun to eat grapes, oranges, and any fruits that would induce a miscarriage even though she would be risking being infertile if she miscarriages her first pregnancy. She didn't care as she began falling into denial and depression, she didn't even hear anything from this 'sting' person who was responsible for her unborn child. She wasn't going to look for him as she decided she would just stay single forever and have no children.

But life had slapped her in the face once again with this now, she cried in the bathroom as she looked down at the pregnancy stick she got from Lucy's pregnancy stuff as she saw the positive lines appear on them.

"Please… I can't have you child… I'm not a good person to become your mother, please just pass on and forgive me for not loving you like how I should be.."

*lucia sobbed softly as she touched her lower abdomen as she imagined the small fetus growing inside her… she loved children, but she knew she couldn't have a child of her own not with her father still around to take her anytime..*

Lucia decided now to walk to the city of magnolia from the Dragneel residence to think a bit about how her life would be until she bumped into a stranger.

"Lucia?"

*sting finally found her after arriving 1 day ago as he kept walking looking for her until he finally found her. He was a bit worried as he saw her puffy eyes hinting she had cried earlier but she wiped her eyes and faked smiled at him*

"Oh.. excuse me, I'm sorry for bumping into you.. I was just on my way to get somewhere.. if you don't mind I have to-"

"Wait! I have to talk to you lucia.."

*sting held her arm as he stopped her but felt her tense up as she glared at him losing her sweet composure she had as she snarled at him.*

"No! I have nothing to talk to you Sir Eucliffe! What happened between us was a mistake nothing more and nothing less, and if your coming to tell me about how you have fallen for me then save your words and carry on with your business because I don't have any feelings for you.."

*sting was a bit hurt by this but as he tried to argue with her she snatched her arm away from him as she landed the final blow on his little feelings of care he had for her.*

"Understand it already Eucliffe, I don't want nothing to do with you, thank you for your protection that day but this is where we part ways now.."

*lucia turned her back now as she kept walking away from sting… sting only looked at her back getting a last glimpse at her as he began to realize he had already fallen for her since the moment he met her eyes…*

Sting looked at his hands as he whispered something to himself..

"Shit… I guess it's really true that you only realize what you lost after it's gone.."

*sting grew angry now as he couldn't handle being made a fool, more so her abandoning or running away from him knowing he wanted to fix things and make things right with the note he left behind.. he began to walk home to his sabertooth guild in defeat as he no longer had reason to stay the week at magnolia.*

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Lucia saw it was getting dark now as she walked into a alley to take as a shortcut back home after she felt better but only got dragged into a corner by three men who had sinister smiles.

"Well hello miss Heartifilia~ the boss has been looking for you.. he's been patient thus far for you to fulfill your role as a breeding partner. You sneaky wench where do you go hide huh?"

*all the three men began to taunt her as they began to pull her to a magic carriage ready to drag her to her designated future husband she was sold off to by her father.. she began to cry as she tried screaming but it was no use as her voice was muffled and couldn't scream for help.*

They tied her hands behind her back as they tied her legs, and began to feel her up her dress making her struggle more to get them to stop.

"Wait you whore! Let us use you up before you die tonight! At least I can fuck a live woman before the boss gives us the left over corpses. Now be still I won't take long~"

One of the men began to unbuckle his belt as he began to insert himself inside her. He had lifted her dress and torn her underwear to make access to her. She cried out as she began thinking about the child inside her as she felt how they were about to rape her.

'I'm sorry child.. I told you I wouldn't be a good mother..'

She cried out some more tears as she decided to just hold her breath to try killing herself by suffocation before they began to tear her apart until a sudden hit was heard behind her and the men yelled in a angry tone seeing one of their partner that was about to have his way with Lucia first unconscious on the floor.

"*pant pant pant* Stay away from her… *pant pant pant*"

*a figure stood at the entrance of the alley as his piercing blue eyes could be seen glowing and a white aura engulfed his whole being*

The men stood back as they found themselves against someone who could kick their asses. But before they could make a run for it they already were kissing the floor as the being moved so fast the figure had punched both of the remaining men on the floor.

Lucia only looked up to see the man who saved her from her father that day, save her and his own child again before she could kill herself…

She wept as she was untied by him and sat by her as he took off his vest to cover her in it.

"I'm -sorry, *sob* I'm s-so SoRry… *hiccup*"

"Don't be… I should be sorry for not walking you home even though you chose to not involve me in your life… I should have just ignored your request and not given up until you said yes.."

*sting tied up the bastards as he called for someone to call for a member of the magic council to deal with this mess. He then carried lucia bridal style away from the scene as he began walking in the direction he had seen her walking away from… he assumed she lived nearby where he had seen her.*

"*hiccup* … sting?.."

*lucia asked afraid of what to expect from the man who held her without tiring. He didn't meet her eyes as he answered her coldly.*

"Yes?"

"How did you know I was in trouble?"

"I don't know something told me you were in danger.. call it a 'instinct' of mine.."

*sting didn't lie about it being a instinct but was also afraid of what that meant… if he was correct… it meant he had failed to pull out that night and she was pregnant with his child… did she know already? Is that the reason she was pushing him away? Was it because she didn't want him to find out?*

Lucia stopped him at the bridge that turned into a dirt road as she pointed to her 'home' she called it as he nodded and began going in the direction into the woods.

It was very silent as it grew darker and colder for lucia but sting tried his best to share his body temperature with her to not let her freeze. He hated that he wasn't like natsu in moments like this for which he noted that she hated the cold as he felt her shiver and curl into his arms more.

The walk became short as he spotted a big house in the center of the isolated forest as he never been here before.
