Summary:
The lights were dim in all of them, and they all share one dream. Freedom. [AU, Multi-Pairing]
She felt alone, sometimes the loneliness would get to suffocating that her thoughts would drift to suicide. This place was morbid, it was a piece of slate in a pile of diamonds. Though to everyone else, it seemed like the complete opposite. Lucy was a curious fourteen year-old, she was tired of being shut out from the adults and now wanted to know the secrets of the dome, and the secrecy of the Council.
Her hand raised up almost robotically, and touched the dome. It looked like it wasn't there; moment you made contact with it, it retorted away. It was smooth to the touch but it only made her want to throw up. She tried from (freshly manicured) nails to knives to even fire, it was only like nails on a chalkboard without the long scratch. This was Lucy's afternoons, standing at the edge of the 'world' and inquired at the little things.
Just pass the barrier, laid the sea. It was beautiful, for all she could see. It had soft looking sand, the dome ahead hard concrete. Thousands of colored fish swam freely, they were trapped in a glass cage.
A loud bell shrieked loudly, Lucy counted how long it lasted and once it stopped she was at 18. It was 18 o'clock, meaning supper. She gave the dome one more longing look than turned on her feet. Lucy lived at the top floors of the city.
The world was sectioned off into 5 sediments. The bottom one was mainly homeless and garbage disposal, the drunkards and whores. Population: 1,384 It was more formally known as 'Joker'. To one up it was farmers, hicks and grassy plains, also known as 'Jack'. Holding the most population: 2,916. The healthy middle ground, 'Queens' this is where small business owners and merchants lived. Population: 871. This is where most people start off from to get into the 'Kings'. The fourth sediment was 'Kings', it was where merchants leveled up to when they gain a lot of money. This was the highest class that's eligible. Population: 110
The top floor was 'Ace'. It was where council members lived and was sealed tight with brass doors. Lucy (nor anyone) knew zero to nothing about this sediment, but everyone there knows everything, all the secrets. Her family resided on the 'Kings' and they reached the peak of this level, now they couldn't get any higher. Population: unknown.
Lucy reached the clear elevator that stood on the outskirts of all the sections. A runway ran into each district-leading off to their main roads-from the glass elevator. The blonde reached the case and stared at the hand scanner along with pass, she set her pale hand on the cold surface and heard a soft humming. It dinged and with a quick swipe of her pass card, the elevator opened up and she entered.
Luckily, it was empty. Though it usually was; no one really left their designated area unless is being promoted or visiting the base. Like her. Lucy felt the elevator give a soft jolt as it came to a stop, she was only on 'Queen', someone else was entering. Lucy looked down at her pass, she had too many trust problems. Quickly she tucked it into her long jacket. It was only a worker, he must of gotten lucky and got a job in the 'King'. A rare occasion. Finally, it stopped at her section and Lucy departed. She turned her head slightly to see where the worker was heading to but instead he stayed on and the glass door closed.
The elevator rode up and Lucy's jaw slackened. She bit her top lip and popped her lips together, making a noise. Slowly she turned around and made her way to her house. Lucy's father was Jude Heartfilia, he was a successful merchant and was one of the topped rank owners. Though he seemed perfect, and to crowds he smiled and laughed. Behind the closed doors he was reserved and only made conversation with Lucy when it was to ask for something.
They have been like that since she was five, when her mother passed away. Though Jude never beat her or verbally abused Lucy, he was not a good father. She made it to the Victorian house and unlocked it, the moment she stepped in a flurry of maids went to her side. Lucy smiled lightly and gave her brown jacket to one and waved he hand lazily to all, she headed to her room. It was a second floor room, the top floor was Jude's, and the second door to the left. She turned the gold knob and walked in with a heavy sigh.
It was pink, with light blue carpet and a white canopy bed. She threw her pass on the fluffy comforter and walked over to the dresser. She changed into a knee length flower dress and stared at herself in the mirror. Lucy's hair was tied up in a tight bun with a braid wrapping around the base, if she had her hair down it would result in an intense argument with her papa. The dress was also his choice, it was dinner wear.
After a long, awkward dinner, Lucy was dismissed to her room. Changing into silk pajamas and cuddling up on her bed she lit her candle. It was the only thing illuminating her room, and it was her only comfort in the world. Slowly she lifted her hands up and put them in a cup like form, there was a spark.
It was like a flint of light, and it made her palms tingle. Slowly it changed into a six point star, it danced above her palms and the more she focused on it. The more stars that appeared, she closed her eyes tried to focus only on the stars and slowly she opened her eyes. Her room was adorned with the magical stars, they glistened and sparkled. They reminded her of a bug she read in a book; fireflies. Lucy stood up and let the child in her over run her usually calm facade. She spun around arms spread out and one foot pulled up as the other did the spinning. The blonde laughed quietly and smiled brightly, she felt free at these moments.
Lucy swung open her balcony door and ran out, not even bothering to put slippers on. She gripped the railing and breathed in, letting the fresh air overwhelm her. Her stars flew out of her room and shoot out into the district, her powers were a secret so she shut them off and watched them dim into nothingness.
They reminded her of herself.
