No one's P.O.V

The sun raised up to signal the morning of the new day. Lucy awoke from her quiet slumber and got cleaned up and dressed for the new day.

"Hey Natsu, you awake yet?" Lucy asked, opening the book to release Natsu back into the world.

"I've been awake for a while. I don't really sleep as peacefully as you do." Natsu pouted, standing up of the ground.

They got their things and returned the key to the front desk, leaving to start their travel once again, only this time, Lucy had bought a cloak to put over her head.

"What exactly does your dad want you back for? I mean, I guess he wants his daughter back, but-"

"He wants his money maker back. Not his daughter." Lucy scolded, cutting off Natsu before he finished asking.

"What do you mean by that?"

"He'd use me to get money. He has his business, like you said with the long line of rich Heartfilia's, but there's a rule against daughter's of Heartfilia's."

"A rule against the daughter's?" Natsu questioned.

"I'll explain more when we're out of town and away from open ears." Lucy said. Natsu stayed silent as they passed by Heartfilia guards through the gate.

They made it into the thick forest that connected them to the capitol of Fiore. Natsu asked once more.

"We're far enough. What's this rule?" 

"It only effects the women born into the name. Women can't carry the Heartfilia name down to another generation, so we're used to make money while the father's try and try again for a son. No luck with that women, then they ditch their wife and hook up with another until a son I'd born."

"OK, but what happens to the women? You're missing the question I keep asking."

Lucy remained silent for a moment.

'You've been alive for 400 years. What do all men love from women? Multiple answers to that, but only some will be correct, and all of the men pay big bucks for it." She said, turning away in shame.

Rape, slavery, pleasure, murder. The list goes on. The daughter's of Heartfilia really go through that? Natsu thought, listing the things in his head, and looking at Lucy with sympathy.

"But of course my dad looses custody of me next year, so by then, I don't have to hide. No worries for me!" She said, forcing a smile, but Natsu saw the small, lingering tears she tried to hide in the corners of her eyes.

Am I feeling sympathetic for her?! I'm the demon E.N.D! I shouldn't be feeling this! What is happening to me?! Natsu fought in his head, getting a head ache from it.

"Hey Natsu?" Lucy asked, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"What?" He replayed more aggresivley then he intended, but Lucy appeared to take no offense.

"What does it look like inside the book?"
