Sorry i haven't updated this particularly story as fast as i had expected but, hey i got it done! Lol but i was super excited to get this one done because our little Enemy of the story makes an appearance in this chapter. Also Laxus learns a good bit about Lucy.

Um...one thing to clear up before i let you get to the chapter, there isn't going to be a lot of lemon in this story. The majority of it is action and a bit of gore so that's why i made it rated the way it is.

So with out further ado, here is the second chapter!

Sorry for any mistakes.

Oh and if you see a * next to something, there's a little note the end explaining the text.

Lucy woke up to the bright eyes of Freed as he turned towards her and sent her a smile to the sound of the bed rustling. He walked over from his place by the window and set a hand on the bed beside her. "How do you feel this morning? Laxus informed me that you fainted last night. Did he over work you? I often tell him bringing out the little devil too fast can make his maids hate him.* Anytime he gets a new maid, he can't help himself." Lucy blinked a few times before realizing what Freed meant. It made her chuckle a little.

"Little Devil, huh?" She mumbled. Freed smirked and walked over to a small cart loaded with covered plates. Freed opened a few and stated to push the cart towards her. Lucy quickly stood up, "I can help you with serving the Young Master." Freed gave her a small smile and slowly eased her back down onto the bed.

"No, Laxus is actually out right at the moment," he lied, " We well join him shortly after you eat breakfast and get fitted for some clothes." Lucy let Freed gently push her back against the headboard.

"Thank you." Freed smiled again after placing a board on the bed and placing a few foods onto the board. Lucy stared at the bowl of fruit that came and sat to her far right, then a heavy stack of pancakes right beside that. Towards her left was a a small glass of orange juice and below it was a small plate filed with eggs, bacon, and sausage. Lastly Freed place a big helping of french toast in the center. Lucy paled looking at all the food before her. "Is it mandatory for me to eat this?"

Freed's smile widen as he pushed the cart away. "Certainly. You don't plan on wasting all that food, do you?" Lucy's eyes twitched slightly.

"Of course. Thank you." Freed chuckled before opening the door.

"I'm joking. Whatever you don't eat just leave on the board. It certainly is a lot of food. Laxus just told me to take care of you this morning for we'll be pretty busy this afternoon and Lunch well be pretty late. Plus i don't know your normal eating habits so i just asked the chief to prepare as much as he wanted. Please, enjoy yourself. I'll be back in a few to collect everything and get you to Evergreen's to get fitted." Lucy nodded as Freed bowed and walked out into the hallway.

Lucy looked down to the food and almost didn't want to touch anything. Then she remembered the empty feeling within her stomach and decided it'd be best to get some food in her system like Freed said. So she started by picking her fork up and jamming it into the french toast before her.

When Freed shut the door he opened his tablet and sent a quick E-mail to Evergreen stating he'll be there in an hour and a half. Then he walked down stairs to see Laxus sitting at the table with a beer in his hand. Freed sighed and took it out his hand, replacing it with a cup of coffee.

"If you wanted an extra boast this early in the morning, it'd be best to drink something that isn't alcoholic." Laxus frowned at him.

"Shut up. Did you get the information on Lucy like i asked." When Freed nodded, Laxus pushed the coffee to the side and leaned down onto the table. "Did you take care of her this morning also like i asked?"

"Of course. Now do you want to see my results of last night's research?" Laxus nodded for him to continue. When Freed didn't move Laxus raised an eyebrow. Freed gave him a small smile. "Unfortunately, there is no information to relate." Laxus slammed his hands onto the table, pushing his body up and towering over his younger assistant. The other man did not move, instead he crossed a leg and gave Laxus a smile.

"What the hell do you mean there's no information to relate! There had to have been something about her in someone's records!" Freed leaned back in his seat and pulled out his tablet, setting it on to the table.

"I didn't say that there was no information period. There's information, we just can't tap into it." Laxus narrowed his eyes at his assistant.

"We?"

"I asked our hackers to break into the Mafia's records." Laxus's face went slack.

"And you did that because?" Freed flashed Laxus a picture on the screen of his tablet. It made his eyes widen and his stomach want to heave up the contents of his breakfast. "What the fuc-"

"This is the only information i could grab from this image. The man in this photo's name is Jellal Fernandes, the woman is Lucy." Laxus's hand clenched into a fist, a flash from last night's episode with Lucy clouded his brain. He turned away from the sickening photo and covered his mouth. Freed shut off the tablet and folded his hands in front of them. "From what i can gather, Jellal Fernandes is member of the Mafia in Bosco. One of the biggest groups on Earthland, leading me to believing Lucy had something to do with the organization. After the hackers logged into the Mafia's online records, more information was gathered, yet, as soon as they were able to break into the offline records every single computer crashed."

Laxus's head snapped up. "You're kidding me, right?" Freed recrossed a leg over the other and nodded.

"Not to mention when everything was fixed and they were able to get back into the systems, all of Lucy's information was gone. Someone knows our intentions now and not only that, but i think we've just started something with the Mafia. If they were able to track our movements like we've tracked Lucy's, clearly an important key to them, they could attack us at any given moment." Laxus stood up and turned.

"It's probably best to relate this information to the old man. He's gonna be pretty pissed, but we need to warn him. I'll go, and you tend to Lucy. Act as if nothing has happened and go on about getting her fitted for those outfits. After that contact the big man. We'll meet up at old man's place if he doesn't beat us here." Freed nodded.

"What do you want me to say to him." Laxus smirked and turned to him.

"Tell him, we've got a war to fight in." Freed's eyes went wide.

"Laxus, wait a moment! You aren't really thinking about fighting back against the Mafia! They're criminals Laxus! They could kill us without a bat of an eye. You need to get rid of Lucy!"

"No," Freed went to counter back again but Laxus cut him off, "this is an order, you will not speak of getting rid of Lucy for as long as she lives in this house. Understand?" Freed clenched his hand into a fist and bit his lip.

"Understood, Young Master."

At the top of the stairs Lucy's eyes narrowed before she turned and walked back into the room before Freed was to come back up and catch her. This is where everything starts.

Freed went back up to Lucy's room and opened the door. "Miss, Lucy we will be leaving now." Lucy was standing by a window, her arms crossed and back pressed against the base of the wall. She looked over to him and pushed herself off walking towards him. Freed could see the tension in her shoulders and in the way she walked. He watched her walk past him and into the hall, leaving the door open for him to lead after. He narrowed his eyes. "We'll be gone for a while, on our way i have a few question i would like to ask you." Lucy nodded ahead of him. Freed's eyebrows raised as he peered over her body language. She kept her head faced forward, her movements weren't stiff anymore and seemed almost rehearsed. He kept his eyes on her back.

He knew something was different in her stance. It was almost as if she had become fitted with him, as if she was trying to match his level. Then it dawned on him. She was walking with a loud radiance of confidence. It made him smirk. So she wanted to match his level, he'd just have to test just how confident Laxus's little toy could be. He touched the sword at his side and drew a hole into the back of her head.

"Miss Lucy," he didn't even give her time to answer as he draw his sword and catch the side of her neck. In that moment Lucy jumped, catching a stunned Freed off guard. He peered up at her, a flip then she was behind him, staring with that blank expression. Freed put his sword back and turned to her. "Who are you?"

"Lucy." she answered. Freed frowned.

"Where are you from?"

"Bosco."

"Of Whom are you associated with?" Lucy paused for a beat. She knew what he wanted to hear.

"Bosco line Mafia." Freed's frown intensified.

"What are you to them?"

"That's confidential information." Lucy bowed and walked on past him. Freed turned swiftly on his heel and stomped on after her.

"You were an assassin are you not?" Lucy didn't answer. "Why were you covered as a maid? " nothing "Why were sold online?" Nothing " What is your relation to Jellal Fernandez." Lucy's body froze. Freed ran into her back not paying attention. He took a step back and watched her closely.

"I said that was confidential information," She bristled it, low and slowly."Why do you insist on pushing for information i'm tied not to give?" Freed said nothing, when Lucy turned she was hollow from the inside out, her face drained of color. She looked like a lifeless doll to Freed and it caught him uneasy.

"As second in command, i want you to tell me your connections to the Bosco line Mafia." Freed stared her square in the eye and placed his sword in between the two of them. "Or i'd be hence to do away with you myself."

"I have no more fear of your sword than i do of your words." Lucy grabbed the tip of it into the palm of her hand and tightened a lock on it. "Your chain of command does not influence me." She pulled the blade further towards her face, pointing deadly on her right eye. "Do away with me."

Freed's lip quivered from his anger, "You wrench."

"That's enough!" There was a loud sound of a clap behind Lucy. Freed looked up and corrected himself immediately.

"Evergreen.."He said lowly," i sent you e-mail that i would be at your place." Evergreen pushed her glasses farther up the bridge of her nose and glared down at him.

"You know good and well i've ceased to read those things!" Freed frowned and looked away. " Now then, i'm here now so lets get this fitting over with so i can go home and tend to my husband. Put that sword away." Freed looked up at Lucy and she let go of the tip. Freed caught the red lining of blood playing down her arm. Evergreen walked over and took that arm in her hand. "What would Young Master say about your fight in the middle of the hall? Hm? And it seems you've hurt yourself as well."

Lucy took her arm back and bowed. "Below a scratch*." She says lowly.

"Either way," Evergreen clears, "You're not to put a piece of my clothing on with blood running down your arm." Lucy nodded. "Freed go and get her cleaned up and bring her back." Freed went to object before Evergreen in a blink took a needle out her pocket and threw it grazing his cheek right below the cut he got yesterday. "Object and slice your damn nose off." Freed straightened himself and turned to Lucy.

"Let us go, Miss Lucy." Evergreen spun on her heel and walked off to the room Lucy's been housed in.

Lucy was now fixed in normal clothing. Clothes that were not really fitted for a maid. A Laced brown dress that stopped just above her knees the bottom adored in black trimmed lace. The spaghetti straps held on tightly to her shoulders while the dress seemed to flare out. Right at her neck, the dress buttoned up and a bow tied just below her chin. Heels covered her feet nicely, completing her assemble.

Evergreen stood back, admired her work and took Lucy's hair, drawing it back into a low pony tail. "And your Lovely maid is complete." Freed sighed, standing and walking over towards them.

"Thank you Ever, i'll mail you the billin-" Evergreen snapped her head and glared at him, Freed cleared her throat and loosened his tie. "I meant i'll send for someone to deliver it to you." She smiled and patted his shoulder.

"I'll be waiting on it. " She looked over to Lucy and gave her a smile. "Now be a good maid to Laxus." And she was off, making her way out the mansion. Freed said nothing as she left and only pulled his tablet out to contact Laxus.

Lucy watched him and grabbed a jacket Evergreen left behind for her placing it over her bare shoulders. When Freed looked back up he opened his arm to the door. "This way, we'll meet Laxus on the lowest floor for a meeting with Master Makarov." Lucy dipped her hand and followed Freed out the room and down the hallway. She looked down to her arm, a bandage lining down to her hand to cover the cut she got from Freed's sword.

When they made it, Laxus was standing behind his Grandfather a hard frown on his face. Lucy caught his eye and dipped her head. The moment made Laxus gave her a look. She remembered then not to show any signs of submission in front of Master Makarov. She straightened up and walked over to him.

"My," Master Makarov says as he took a stand. Lucy made it to Laxus said and he grabbed her pulling her close so he could whisper in her eye. She looked up at him, her eyes a bit wider than normal. Laxus pushed a finger to his lips, silently tell her they'd talk later. "What a beautiful bride you've chose Laxus."

Laxus turned to his grandfather and smiles. "Thank you, she's worth every marking on her body*. "Lucy briefly looks up at him. "Should we discuss Freed's email now." Master Makarov's face instantly hardens.

"yes, let's discuss it now." Freed seats them all and serves tea. Master Makarov crosses his hands over the top of the table. "Now," he starts, "What's this nonsense dealing with the Mafia?" Lucy visually shakes a bit. Laxus places a hand on her thigh under the table.

"Apparently, one of the maids here is tied to the Mafia." Laxus answers carefully. "We don't know her lining with them, all information at the moment is classified." Master Makarov takes in a deep breath.

"Why have you not released her of her ties and do away with her?"

"I still intend to keep her around; she could still be the key to information."

"Why should information be the concern?" Makarov becomes frustrated. "We want no ties with the Mafia, why have her around if she's an attraction to danger."

Laxus's grip on Lucy's thigh tightens. "Old man," he says slowly.

"May i speak?" Lucy quickly cuts in. All eyes direct to her. Master Makarov leans in and cocks his head to the side.

"Yes, dear, do you have any concerns regarding this? I understand you are about to marry into madness, and i apologize for my grandson's foolish decisions." Lucy bites her lip.

"Actually, the Mafia's-" In that moment the Mansion shook. Master Makarov stood turning over to Freed. Laxus let's Lucy go and rushes to the nearest window. Once he was there her curses under his breath. Everyone seemed to know immediately the sense of danger.

"Leave," he says to his grandfather. Makarov's brow raises. "We're being attacked." Freed draws his sword and right then the top of the mansion caves in. Makarov's eyes widen as thick pieces of roof clasp upon them. Laxus ducks out the way, Freed following lead.

Lucy grabs the old breaded man clears him out the way. Men in long black cloaks descend from the open ceiling and move in to attack. Freed jumps in and wards them off. "Get out!" he yells to Laxus and the others behind him. "Contact Master Clive this instant!"

Laxus grabs Lucy and his grand father, snapping them out the dinning room. "Grandfather you and Lucy head upstairs." He pushes them in that way and turns back to go help Freed.

"Laxus!" He doesn't turn back to Master Makarov. Even though confusion struck him deeply, Master Makarov, glares at him once more before turning and heading up the stairs. Lucy doesn't move, though, and instead stands at Laxus's side. "What are you doing?" He yells, "Do you want to die?"

Lucy's eyes narrow and she takes him by his collar, tugging him down and pulling herself up, off the ground. She reared around his shoulder, knocking the man coming to attack them out. Laxus snaps back around to look down at her, his expression clearly stunned. Lucy bows once.

"Order me." she says, "Order me to fight by your side." Laxus frowns.

"What are you?" Lucy doesn't answer.

"Well well what we have here?" They turn around a man with messy blue hair coming in from the dinning room, dragging in an unconscious Freed. "Looks like i didn't get everyone." He's foot steps carry a loud, harsh stomp that shakes Lucy every time. Laxus's frozen at the sight of Freed being dragged in by the unknown man. He grinds his teeth together. "You must be the infamous Laxus Dreyar, son of Master Markov, the big man in entertainment today." The man throws Freed to Laxus's feet . "Opps," he fakes, "I hurt one of your butlers."

Lucy shakes in fear as Laxus shook in anger. The man raises his face, showing his red tattoo covering his right eye. Jellal Fernandes. "Lucy," he cooes," Why don't you come on back to Bosco with me? Did you forget what has happened before?" His voice grows, "Did you forget i could kill you in this instant and you couldn't say a thing about it!?" Jellal's eyes direct themselves to Laxus. "Did you know you were housing my assassin?" Lucy clenches her hand into a fist. "Did you think you could get away from me that easily?" Jellal fishes out a gun and points it over to Laxus. "Return her."

"Lucy," Laxus takes her small shoulder in his hand "I don't know what you're capable of, all i know is that this 'ugly' side better come out now."

"Is that an order?"

"Do as you like to this man."

"As you wish, Master."

The gun fires.

To be honest i'm not really satisfied with how i introduced Jellal, but i really wanted to get a chapter out. What did you guys think?

Next chapter its our first battle with Jellal.

*Freed is referring to Laxus and Lucy having sex for the first time last night on the first day he's met her. Someone told me i added the lemons in a bit too fast and i totally agree. This is just a pick at myself.

* Lucy is saying, the cut She got form Freed's sword was only a scratch to her. (This a play off the death scene of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. Where he's hurt badly and he says "Just a scratch, just a scratch" before dying in Romeo's arms. If you were planing on reading Romeo and Juliet sorry i just spoiled a scene lol)

*Laxus is referring to the hickey he left on her from the night before.
