Zonias's Bunk

Lucy wasn't crying but she was terrified. She leaned against Zone, staring at nothing as she gripped Zone's shirt.

Gently placing a chaste kiss on her lips to try to bring her back to consciousness, Zone continued to rub her back, muttering in her ear "It's okay Lucy. He won't be able to do anything to you ever again. I made sure of that." Zone muttered with his eyes closed.

Lucy blinked a bit and nodded slowly. She pushed herself up to a sitting position and pulled her hair out of the ponytail and got up. "Um, I'm just go to have a shower." she said before grabbing a spare shirt of his and heading to the shower.

NOdding slightly, Zone began to rummage through his drawers for a pair of sweatpants and a tank top to wear. Pulling them out, Zone began to undress himself, taking his cloak and shirt off before pulling the tank on and continuing onto his bottoms.

After about 20 minutes of scrubbing her body, Lucy stepped out and dried herself off, noticing bruises on her leg from where the guy grabbed her. She quickly pulled Zone's shirt on and relaxed when she noticed the shirt covered the bruises. She took her clothes with her and placed them in a pile. "Can you mist them please?" she asked Zone, not noticing that he was changing.

Nodding, the waist-down-naked Zone grinned as he waved his hand, causing the mist to dissolve all the dirt and grime into nothing, and forming several black stitches, thinner versions of his own, to patch any tears.

"Just get rid of them please." she said, her voice shakey. Her eyes were closed and she was hugging herself.

Eyes widening as he realizd her intended meaning, Zone pulled his boxers and sweatpants all the way up before unleashed a concentratd blast of Deah Mist, dissolving the cothes instantly as he walked over to Lucy, hugging her close to his chest.

She just leaned against him. She calmed herself and smiled. "Let's just get over this shall we?" she said before pulling back and walking over to his bed. She sat down and patted the empty spot beside her.

Smiling softly, Zone walked to the bed, sitting down next to Lucy as he leaned close, engaged her in a deep and passionate kiss full of love as he gently ran his hands down her sides.

Lucy smiled into the kissed and gave just as much love and passion into the kiss. She cut off the connection as fear built inside her as she felt his hands run down her sides. 'Please don't touch my leg...please don't touch my leg...' she thought to herself.

Frowning as he felt Lucy's body tense the further down his hands went, Zone moved his hands down to her legs just as he realized with horror what had happened. "Lucy. Show me what happened." Zone said in a stern, emotionless tone, his fury and fear visible clearly in his eyes.

Lucy made the connection and calmed him down. "Hey," she teased nervously. "Why'd you stop kissing me?" She attempted to kiss him again.

Forcefully cutting off the connection, Zone gently held Lucy to the bed, a serious look on his face. "Lucy. What. Did. He. Do."

"Zone, come on." Lucy said nervously. She couldn't look him in the eye.

Clenching his teeth, Zone used his threads to forcefully hold down Lucy as he swiftly pulled the large shirt off of her body. Paling as his eyes narrowed, a snarl emitting from his throat as he saw the massive bruises on her legs, several of them particularly close to- Zone froze. "I'm going to kill him." Zone muttered darkly, his agitation forming Death mist throught the cabin.

"Zone, stop. Please." Lucy said, forcing a connection so she could calm him down. "Zone, please." she whimpered, suddenly frightened, which would make him frightened too.

At this point, Zone's Irises were pitch black, narrowed fiercly as he looked at Lucy. "I am not going to just allow him to get away with this. Not only did he flirt with you, but her hurt you and tried to r*** you!" Zone exclaimed furiously as he was hit by the link. However, Zone manipulated it so that he was frightened of what would happen to Lucy if he let that man survive.

Lucy was terrified at this point. She had never seen him so angry. "Zone..." she whimpered again, tears forming in her eyes.

Growling, ZOne merely sunk into his own shadow, grabbing his massive sword at the last minute. around 5 minutes later he reappeard in the cabin, having been smart enough to get rid of the blood from his sword and clothes. Placing the sword on the wall again, Zone walked over to Lucy, Hugging her tightly as he muttered "I'm sorry. I will never leave you again."

Lucy looked away, tears cascading down her cheeks. She struggled against the bonds that Zone had put on her earlier.

Instantly dissolving the binding, Zone gently wrapped his arms around Lucy, quietly muttering apologies over and over again.

Lucy cut off the connection and tried to stop her crying.

Placing a gentle kiss on Lucy's lips, Zone silently went back to rubbing her back, trying to calm her down.

She pulled the shirt down to cover the bruises, and rolled over, calming herself. Slowly the tears stopped and she just stared at the wall.
