Chapter | One




Yes, a new story. I was suddenly hit with this idea for a Fairy Tail and Diabolik Lovers crossover, centering Lucy. This story is set after the Tartaros Arc, but just to give a fair warning I only seen the episodes of Fairy Tail Netflix has, and then the ones I decided to spoil for myself with on Youtube, so I know the basic plotline and arcs.

I apologize a head of time if Lucy or Loke seem OOC, it is my first Fairy Tail fanfiction. If I am a off their characters, please tell me so I can fix that for a better story experience.

Also, I am sorry for a short chapter. All my first chapters are relatively short, testing out the idea in a way. Please give me some feedback!

I hope you enjoy this story!

01| A FATHER'S DEAL


Dear Mom,

I haven't written to you in a while, I've tried. I've sat down so many times with a piece of paper in front of me and a pen at hand, but I could never find it in my heart to write and tell you the inevitable truth.

Aquarius is gone.

I had to sacrifice her in order to save my friends, to summon the Spirit King himself. The price was Aquarius's key, the very key you gave and intrusted me with. In the end we won, but I can't help but feel like we lost. Natsu and Happy are gone, Igneel gave his life in battle against Acnologia and he witnessed it. I can't blame him for leaving, but still it hurts. The quietness in my apartment is a bitter reminder. Fairy Tail is gone now too, Master Makarov disbanded the guild and everyone slowly went their own ways.

Yet here I am, still in Magnolia all alone. I will always be alone, won't? I wish I had Aquarius, the guilt and nightmares it at me. I broke my promise to her, broke the rules of a Celestial Mage. It seems selfish, to have wished there was another way in that very moment when in all reality there wasn't.

I miss you mom, so, so much. I wish you were here to tell me that everything would be okay. To hold me like you once did, running you hand through my hair to calm me. Though I have come to a decision, I will leave Magnolia and travel maybe. Maybe even become a solo mage. Anything really so I don't wallow in my self pity, or before the loneliness swallow me whole.

I love you,

Lucy

Lucy looked down at the letter on her desk, her brown eyes filled with tears. She wished she could just stop crying for once, but it was hard. The wounds were all to fresh still, and everything was happening all too fast for Lucy to really grasp and comprehend. Taking a deep breath, she finally stood up and looked around her apartment.

It was empty now.

"Are you sure you want to do this Lucy?" Loke's concerned voice asked her once again, coming out of his gate of his own accord.

Lucy wasn't sure how to answer the question. One part of her was tied to this damaged infrastructure, where the walls she stood in held so many memories she cherished. This was her first real home, where she felt wanted and alive, even happy for a while. Now they seemed so empty. The other part of Lucy wanted to leave, it hurt too much remembering the good times. Things were changing, Lucy knew that much.

"This isn't my home anymore, Loke." Lucy finally answered, looking up at her friend. "I don't know where I'm going yet. I have enough jewels to get me somewhere at least."

Loke frowned. "And when you run out of jewels, then what? Lucy, you aren't thinking clearly. If this is about Aquarius then stop. She isn't mad Lucy, but she will be once she knows what you're doing."

Lucy bit her lip, staring at Loke. She had her mind set on this, and now there was no way she would let Loke talk her out of it. "I'm not going to sit here and wait for them to come back, Loke. Fairy Tail was my home, and now it's gone- including everyone that was in it. Without them, who am I? I'm not Lucy Heartfilia, or Lucky Lucy, or even Lucy of Fairy Tail. I'm just Lucy."

Loke sighed, not liking to see his master in such a state. She was a lost star, slowly falling from her grace and Loke refused to let that happen. He wouldn't let her become something she wasn't. A celestial mage like Lucy was rare, hell, being a celestial mage was rare itself. Without another thought, Loke moved and pulled the blonde into his embrace.

"You're Lucy, a celestial mage and a great person." Loke muttered softly, kissing her forehead. "You will overcome whatever it is that is bothering you, because I don't even think you fully understand your emotions. Anger and sadness, confusion and grief. They are all jumbled."

Lucy buried her face into Loke's chest, the very same way she did to Natsu. How she missed that idiot. Like a child, she gripped onto Loke tightly and said nothing. Sometimes she felt like Loke could read her like an open book, just like how Levy was able too. Lucy felt another wave of sadness wash over her thinking about her blue haired best friend.

"I think I'll go back to my place of origins first." Lucy finally broke the silence, taking a step back from Loke's embrace. "I want to visit Mama for a little bit."

"Would you like some company?" Loke offered softly, knowing that right now Lucy just wanted someone there. She wanted the reassurance that she wasn't completely alone.

Lucy smiled slightly at him, nodding. "That would be nice, but don't exert yourself too much."

Loke had to refrain from rolling his eyes. He was able to live in this world for years without dying, sure he was slowly deteriorating, but he was alive now- that was all that mattered really. He only chuckled and made his way to the door, watching as Lucy took one last look around the room. Loke noticed how the window was open, noting how Lucy never closed it once since a week ago after Natsu and the disbanding of the guild. She had hoped he'd come here, to here.

"Goodbye." Lucy whispered, closing the door and locking it one last time.

Taking a shaky breath, Lucy handed the key back to the landlady, who waited patiently. After all the times she scolded Lucy about rent money, feeling surprised each time the blonde miraculously had the jewels in the end, she was saddened to see Lucy off. Of course it was understandable, the damage of the town only proved how it might be difficult to live in a place with bad memories. Only if she really knew.

"Are you sure you want to leave now? It's near nightfall." The short woman asked, earning a smile from Lucy.

"If I don't go now, I never will." Lucy forced a smile at stood straight. "You take care of yourself and make sure whoever rents that apartment next is worthy enough! Goodbye!"

Lucy waved as she walked out of the apartment complex, taking in the empty streets. Most people stayed indoors when the sun began to disappear of the horizon. The train station wasn't too crowded, only busy with the usual travelers. Lucy went to the ticket box, purchasing a ticket since Loke went back until she got on the train so she wouldn't have to pay for two tickets. Once she was seated, Loke occupied the empty seat besides her while she looked out the window.

It was funny how small things could remind you of people you tried not to think of, or that just might be Lucy. She held those she loved close to her heart, so of course everything reminded her of Erza, or Gray, or Natsu and Happy. She could imagine Natsu groaning before laying her lap while happy laid of Natsu's stomach. How Erza would go on about the mission and Grey would merely try to provoke Natsu, who was to sick with motion sickness to even utter a comeback. Leaning her head on the wall as she gazed out the window, Lucy closed her eyes and let the darkness take over just like the sun as if set behind the mountains.

Lucy said nothing else as her and Loke walked. She was comfortable in the silence and knowing Loke was right there. She was surprised he wasn't talking, but figured he understood that right now she still wasn't in the best of moods to hold a conversation with. After walking a few miles, Lucy saw the old Mansion she grew up in come into sight. She hated that place more than anything, but then again she also loved it. She had the memories with her mother within those walls, also some of her father before he became cold. Though she stopped walking when she noticed a group of people huddled around her parent's graves. That didn't settle with her, having strangers here and near their gravestones.

Loke glanced at Lucy, feeling the anger radiant of her suddenly. Why was she so angry? Well he followed her line of sight and saw her staring at a group of people, who looked like men. He became uneasy, something didn't feel right.

"Lucy, maybe we should come back another day." Loke muttered, but it fell on deaf ears.

Lucy was more focused on the what if scenarios. What if they tried to vandalize her parents graves, or they were grave robbers? Lucy wouldn't stand for it. Grabbing her whip, Lucy gripped it tightly as she took long strides of purpose towards the group of what seemed to be young men.

"Who the hell are you people?" Lucy asked loud enough to shift the attention onto herself. She suddenly wanted to shrink back, listen to Loke and come back another day. The look in their eyes didn't even seem human, but more like a predator with hungry eyes.

"Oh look, she has a whip." A male with red hair and fedora giggled. "Kinky bitch-chan, isn't she?"

"Oi, I saw her first! Yours truly claims melons over there!" Another red head, who self proclaimed himself 'Yours Truly' shouted.

Irritation took over Lucy's momentary fear. What did she have to fear after Jackal and Tartaros really? She made sacrifices, faced fears. Six men were an easy task- especially perverted ones. Lucy's whip suddenly lit up in a glowing blue, being quick to strike- but the male with the fedora was quicker.

Lucy found herself being grabbed by the wrist, forced to let her whip go and felt the male press his front against her behind. Lucy squirmed, uncomfortable with the turn of the situation. Loke was being taken care of by some older man, who went at Loke in a way that made Lucy react without thinking.

"Force Close Gate, Leo the Lion!" Lucy yelled, watching Loke look at her sharply as he disappeared with a golden glow.

She couldn't lose him, and fear was what she held in her heart now. She couldn't lose someone else. Refocusing on her situation at hand, and the breath on her neck as she felt something wet on her neck, she had to think quick. Did he just lick me? Lucy shivered in disgust.

"You taste sweet, but a bit Salty from perspiration." The man whispered into her ear.

"May I taste her as well?" A younger looking boy holding a stuffed bear asked.

Lucy scrunched her nose, because no way in the was someone else going to lick her neck. Especially a little boy. Without a second thought, Lucy threw her head back- slamming it hard against another skull. As soon as the arm around her was gone, Lucy launched herself forward, glaring at the males who glared at her- especially the one with the fedora.

It was only then Lucy noticed the other girl with platinum blonde hair. She wonder who she was for a moment before focusing of the danger she could feel arising around her. She was quick to grab a key from her belt, Virgo this time.

"You're a splitting image of your mother, Lucy." The elder man spoke up before she could summon Virgo, taking the initiative to step up to the blonde mage. "Has anyone ever told you that?"

Lucy hesitated against her better judgement. "You knew my mother?"

"No, I never had the chance to meet Layla." The man continued to speak. "I knew your father, Jude. We were, acquaintances if you must know. I remember you when you were younger, always running around to gain the attention of your father."

Lucy frowned, suddenly not liking where this conversation was heading. "Who are you again?"

"Karlheinz." He smiled, Lucy taking not in the point of his teeth. "These are my sons, and a.. friend."

"I don't recall your name." Lucy stated, not really remembering a man of any sorts like the one that stood before her. "Why are you here again?"

Karlheinz chuckled. "Oh, I don't expect you too. To answer your question, I'm here to collect my end of the deal I had with your father. Imagine my surprise when I found his gravestone."

Lucy sighed, putting Virgo's key down and touched Loke's glowing key to let him know she was okay. "I'm sure whatever he owed you is still inside the estate. I'd be more than happy to help you find it and get you on out of here."

Instead of a reply, Karlheinz merely smirked at Lucy in a knowing manner. That action alone seemed to hold a secret Lucy didn't want to find out. Of course the world was against her in that very moment as well.

"You see your father made a deal with me." Karlheinz began, taking a step forward and walking to Lucy, taking her chin in his hand and forcing her to look up at him. "We wanted money to expand his business, so we made a binding contract. In exchange for the money he needed, his daughter would marry one of my sons of her choosing after a year of knowing them."

Lucy's brown eyes widen, the air suddenly leaving her lungs as if someone punched her. Slowly she shook her head, this was the exact kind of life she wanted to life she ran away from, the life she was protected from. Taking a step back, Lucy looked over at the six brothers who merely smirked or held some sort of amusement while the girl looked at her with sorrow eyes.

"This isn't a choice Lucy, and trust me when I say I am not a man to be tested." Karlheinz's voice took on a dark edge to it, daring Lucy to go against his word.

She could feel the power radiating off of him in a way she never felt before. This wasn't power of a mage, but of something dark and evil. Lucy shivered, her chin once again being grasped but a bit more roughly that it caused her to whimper.

"Am I understood?" Karlheinz spoke in a dark whispered.

Through her eyelashes, Lucy looked at him with submissive eyes. "I don't have a choice, now do I?"

"Good." Karlheinz sounded pleased, going on into the introductions of his sons from eldest to youngest and the girl, Yui

Of course Lucy wasn't paying attention, she would leave first chance she got.
