He sat there, his hands grasping the outside metal bars of his iron cage, screaming for help from someone, anyone. As tears cascaded down his cheeks, guards screamed and gripped his leggings, tugging him harshly.

"Let go you little brat!" A guard shouted, still tugging.

"Never!" Shouted the little boy as he pulled on the bars, pulling him closer.

"You won't get away with this!"

"Oh? But we already have." The guard smirked, giving one last tug to the boys leg, making the boy let go of the bar.

As they walked to the center of the room, the lights started to flicker, on and off, on and off. The boy watched as the lights kept flickering, more and more guards disappearing. Where were they going?

The lights turned on once more, revealing a cold lonely room. He clutched his pink hair, looking around frantically.

"You asked for help, did you not?" A feminine voice asked, emerging from the shadows.

"Yes, but may I see my savior?" The boy asked.

"Only if you make a contract," The woman answered.

"What kind of contract?" He asked curiously, trying to pinpoint where the voice was coming from.

"What is your wish?"

"I wish to get vengeance on those who hurt my family," He started, "Why do you ask?"

"Would you die for this wish?" A young blonde about his age stepped from the shadows, smiling sweetly.

"Yes."

"Alright, here's how the contract is made. If I, the demon, help fulfill your wish, you will give me your soul." The blond stepped toward the boy, red eyes gleaming brightly.

"Do you agree to this contract?" She asked him, holding out her hand.

"Yes," the boy wrapped his hand around her small ones, shaking firmly.

"Now then, I shall become your 'maid'." The girls smiled, "Master, please give me a name."

"Lucy." The boy smiled, "Lucy, I am Natsu, Natsu Dragneel."

"It will be a pleasure serving you master." Lucy bowed. She straightened her back, grabbing Natsu's hand.
"Now Dragneel-sama, let's find your home."

"Yes Lucy, let us go." Nastu said.

In that moment, Lucy's hand imprinted with a small fairy looking mark on her hand. Natsu's appearing on his shoulder. Lucy's eyes changed back to her usual brown orbs. She smiled gently, "Dragneel-sama, let me call a carriage."

"Yes, Lucy."
