Juvia Pov

Calm down, Juvia. You can do it. He can't do anything to you.

At least that was what I said but as I stepped up to the gates, all my hopes flew away. I knew what was coming when I saw Prince Jellal standing with his parents with a sly look on his face. I gulped.

"Your highness. Milady." I greeted the King and Queen of Fernandes. New our sly I looked up. "Prince Jellal." I said, reluctantly.

"Princess Juvia, how nice to see you again." He still had his eyes trained on mine and that sly smirk across his face. I looked away from his eyes.

We all made our way into the palace grand room where we all sat down. The King's and Queens of both Kingdom have started the conversation on the arrangement for the wedding but I tuned out. I could see from the corner of my eyes that the Prince was staring at me and I started to fidget in my seat.

"My apologies father, but maybe the Princess and I can go up to my room to dicuss the plans?"

"Sure. I don't mind." Jellal sat up and bowed before taking his leave. The adults eyed me suspiciously so that leave me no choice but to get up and follow the Prince.

I see Juvia and Jellal getting up and walking away from the group. When they turned into the corner, out of the sight of the adults, I followed closely being the two.

"So Juvia." He said as he sat down on his bed, playing with a thick, black whip. "Let's have some fun." He started towards me. I backed up, I felt the wall against my back.

"Water lock!" I attacked but he used his powers to block it. I kept attacking but it was all useless.

"Now don't make this hard, Princess." He brought the whip down against my thigh. I screamed. Damn it, I don't have enough water. Now my body is weak and vulnerable. I tired to escape from him. He just kept pushing. I fell backwards on the bed, holding my hands up, ready to attack. With one swipe he managed to tie my hands up with the whip, I struggled to get away. Next thing I knew I could feel the air on my skin and I saw my dress, ripped, in his hands. How the hell did he do that? I kicked him in the face and attempted to roll off the bed, only to be caught by Jellal last minute at my ankle.

"That's not very nice Juvia. We are getting married soon."

"Never! I won't allow it." The strings he tied around my ankles to the bed were cutting into my skin.

"You can't do anything about it." He laughed as he swung his another whip right into the middle of my body. My screams rang in my ear as I cursed under my breath. "Music to my ears." He laughed again, smiling with an evil grin.

"What was that?" He questioned to me as I worded something.

"Speak up!" He exclaimed, hitting me with the whip serval times.

"Ss........ad......" I mumbled, close to fainting. I felt blood trickle down my stomach and the sides.

"You calling me sad?" The vein on his forehead threatening to burst. The bleeding was rapid now, my vision was getting hazy and head was spinning.

"Sad....Prince." I said before I was knocked out.

"And who are you?" Prince Jellal said, definitely unhappy by the interruption.

"I'm her sad Prince." My face fell when I saw the pool of blood that Juvia was lying in. "You must be the one they call Jellal." I spat.

"So what? You can't do anything. Damage done." His mouth turned up into a smile that seem to say- I won. You lose.

"You're sickening." I said through my gritted teeth. "Ice make - lance!" I attacked, hitting him in the leg. He temporarily lost his balance which I took advantage of.

"Ice geyser!"

"Soild script- iron." A block of iron fell above Jellal, he was quick enough to roll over. I turned around and saw Levy, Lucy and Erza standing behind me, ready for battle. Attacks were exchanged but still each time he stood back up.

"Give it up you can't defeat me."

"I'm sorry." The familiar sound of Aries voice sounded. She made a pink cloud of cotton, disturbing everyone's sight. I did the best I could to free Juvia in the cloud, I froze the wounds on her stomach then cut the ropes that were holding her before carrying her put of the room with the help of Erza.

The red head in front of me led me to the back exit and instructed me to run as far as I can.

"What about the King and Queen?"

"We will take care of it. Just run. Go!" So I did.

I turned into the woods, the palace no longer in sight and slowed down. I found a cave, near a river bank to rest for the night.
