LUCY's POV

I BIT my lower lips as I keep my eyes on my fingers. I can feel the tension inside the Heartfilia's library as I waited for my brothers to calm down "Why you didn't tell me about it, Lucy?" Sting asks me for the tenth time.

I look directly in his eyes as I bit my lower lips "Are you just going to look me like that? Why you're not saying about this?" Sting inhale sharply as he clenches his fist from time to time "For seven years you kept for yourself Lucy, it's time for you to say everything to us, please"

"It was my choice" I murmur "It was my choice to stay"

"What the fuck! You let that bastard hurt you, Lucy!" Rogue said "Why? Did he threaten you?" I shook my head

"It was my choice, please" I beg "Calm down"

"Even if it's your choice to stay, He doesn't have the rights to hurt you, even our parents never hit you," Rogue said.

"I-I know..."

"Will you please stop asking a question to her," I heard Zeref said "You're just putting her in a lot of stress"

"I just want to know!" Sting almost yells "I can't imagine how hard it is for my twin," he said and I can feel the pain on his words as he says those words "I just want to know"

I stared at my brother's face, now, I just realize that when he hurt me before when he ignored me the pain I had felt that day is nothing with the pained that my brothers felt when they learned that I was hurt. I carefully wrapped my arms around my twin as I buried my face on his chest "Thank you" I murmured.

Sting gently planted a soft kissed in my forehead but didn't say anything to me. I heard Zeref sigh "Princess, can you leave us for now? I'll be the one who will explain to them everything that happened."

"But?"

"I don't want you to remember the pain again," he says.

Even though I did not want to leave this place - I did nothing but follow my brother. I quietly went out and immediately went to my room as I stared outside the window the memories that I had with Natsu flashes before my eyes which makes my heart clench in pain.

I inhale sharply as I shook my head "Stop thinking about him, Lucy"

STING's POV

WE STAYED in silent for a couple of minutes, I just trying myself to calm down, "Explain Zeref and make sure that it will convince us, " Rogue said destroying the peacefulness of the place.

Zeref smirk "And if I didn't convince you?"

"Then I'll hunt that bastard down, and I'll punch you in your face for not doing anything for her," Rogue said.

Zeref smirked vanished and it turns into serious. And right now and then I know that he will explain to us, why he didn't do anything for our sister. " I didn't do anything simply because Lucy's in love with him"

"What the fuck!" I shouted, "You didn't help her because she was fucking in love on that stupid bastard. "

"I'm not yet done Sting, and stop shouting on me. I'm still your older brother. "

I shut my mouth and try myself to calm down " I let her do it on her because that is Lucy's choice, like what she had said it was her choice to stay," Zeref let out a sigh "When you fall in love you will do everything for that someone, even if you're hurting yourself so badly." he pauses.

"Do you know, how much hard for me to look on her face while she was crying? While she was asking me how to forget her stupid feelings for that man, its wound me but all I can do is just give my shoulder to cry on."

He closes his eyes hard as he inhales "I did try my best to not hurt and killed that bastard. The punch that I gave to him wasn't enough for the pain that our sister felt, but what should I do? If I hurt that guy again, it will surely break our sister's heart too"

"Are you telling us, that keep our mouth shut?" Rogue asks.

"Yes, for Lucy. I know that deep down on her. She was in love with that man. Lucy needs us in a different way. "

I stood up" I won't fucking do it. If you bear looking on her face while she's crying her eyes out, then don't compare me to do the same way as you did. I won't stand there and watch her be broken. I won't just stand there and do nothing." I said angrily as I exist on the room.

I went to Lucy's room only to find out that she was sleeping peacefully I went to her kissing the top of her head. "I will protect you, Sis. And I'll make sure that I will punch his face for you " I won't allow him to get near on my twin sister. I won't allow him to hurt her again over my dead body.

I won't let Natsu Dragneel come closer on my sister.
