LUCY! Yelled a very pissed off father to which his yelling woke his daughter up with a frightened whiper as she was curled up in a ball on her bed with a couple bruise marks on her cheeks that were very noticable.

Lucy was a very pretty blonde teenage girl who had been living wth her father since the day her mother layla heartfilia had died. Every day was like hell for her because her father seemed to think that the reason his wife died was because of their daughter despite the fact that the man seemed to hate her since the day she was born thinking of her as a waste of space and his precious money. Lucy was never allowed to leave the house unless she was permitted to which was only when she went to school and to the store to buy groceries and make up to hide the bruises her father inflicted on her out of sheer anger. Lucy never called her father by his real name which was jude due to the fact that he hated her even calling him by his name and even looking at her pissed him off even though she would do nothing but try to avoid him.

Lucy was getting dressed as fast as she could so he wouldn't come up and beat her for not coming down after he had called her and even though she would come down as fast as possible he would always smack her. She finished putting mascare on her cheek where her father had hit her the night before because he got a call from her school saying she a had a C in the class because she didn't do the homework. What the teacher didn't know was that lucy's father had knocked her out with one of his punches the night she was supposed to do the homework which was the reason why she didn't do it. Lucy went down stairs to see what her father wanted even though she was afraid to ask what he wanted due to the fact that she was so scared of him that she never looked him in the eyes unless he told her to.

Lucy while shaking uncontrollably asked her father what he wanted

"WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE A C IN YOUR ENGLISH CLASS?" he roared ending his sentence by smacking her very hard across her face which sent her flying into the wall.

She responded through tears and a shaky voice "i...i wasn't able to do...the work" she said through tearful hiccups.

Jude couldn't care less as he huffed and delivered a breath taking punch into the trembling girls stomach causing her to cough and gasp for air. Lucy while crying said sorry through load sobs which infuriated the man standing in front of her as he delivered another blow to her stomach before walking away muttering how much he hated her.

Lucy quickly tried to regain her balance as she tried to get up and leave for school knowing getting her house called from school because she was late would send her father into rage mode. She quickly turned the door knob to her dads mansion and darted out the door and ran past her security gate and didn't stop running until her school was in sight then she started walking so she could catch her breathe she started sobbing as she reached the front of the school after realizing she was late and slowly started walking through the front gates and walking towards her locker to get her books and get to class.

After school had let out lucy exited her class almost on the verge of tears realizing what was waiting for once she got home and started to shake uncontrollably just of the thought of her pissed of father. Lucy walked home as fast as she could only to open thr door to see a very mad man waiting for her to which her suprise wasn't going to beat her.

Jude told lucy to sit down in the living room because he had something to discuss with her and did as she was told and sat down in the living room on one of the couches next to her fathers office.

"Lucy?" Asked virgo one of judes maids

" may i get you something to drink?"

"No" im ok lucy said with a half hearted smile as she turned to look at her father who was sitting down across from her.

"Lucy" jude asked "do you want to switch schools" he said firmly which caught lucy off gaurd thinking she was going to be yelled at

"um...yes..i do" she responded with a worried tone and expression on her face.

"well good because my company is moving north to a city called magnolia and i was planning on taking with me" he replied firmly.

"pack your bags because you leave tomorrow" he ordered

lucy went straight to her room to get started with her packing even though she was scared of her father she was happy she was getting to switch schools. Lucy didn't think she fit in with the snotty rich kids at her school and was an out cast when it came to having friends only because she didn't like hanign out with stuck up girls and guys.

Lucy was packing some of her favorite clothes while thinking about how school was going to be like in magnolia and was debating on wether she was going to ask her dad if she could to a public schools or not. Then it dawned on lucy that she hadn't checked out the local schools in magnolia so she got on her laptop and searched various websites of the schools their until one website caught her attention which was labeled "fairy tail high" lucy examined the websites grwoing more fond the school as she kept reading more about it.

She found out that the school had fairly easy courses and had a ton of electives to choose from and they had a pretty standard uniform which she didn't mind at all she actually preferred wearing it actaully lucy went back downstairs to ask her dad about the schools she wanted to go and after a little while of debating wether she should ask him or not she went into his office and asked very firmly but still scared at the same " father i would like to attend fairy tail high!"

after hearing this out burst jude complety taken back from what he had just heard got up and said "why on earth would you want to go to a school full of commoners!?"

lucy a bit scared replied " i think it'd be best for me to be in a place i feel more comfortable in"

jude sat down and said "i don't care as long as you get good grades or else" he said in a menacing tone making lucy tremble and reply with a before walking off to go and continue packing her bags.

Lucy got back to her room and quickly went back to the schools web page and clicked on register and filled out the entire form without even breaking a sweat but maybe a couple of bottons on her laptop due to the fact she was typing so fast. She had set a date for meeting the principle aroud a week or two after settling in the school and she had also come a across a very intresting and she examined the page a bit more closely only to find out that the principle of fairy tail high was also the fairy tail university! Lucy could not believe what she was reading she had found out so much about fairy tail high and their was also a university that also very near to it with the same principle and had a huge amount of courses she could take.

Lucy was so excited that she was practically squeeling with excitement she quickly went back to packing her bags thinking about all the possibilties of going to a new school and what could happen (you know how girls get when they get happy) lucy was day dreaming when her father walked in on her.

Jude replied in a scary tone "i'll be out of the house for about a couple of months because my company needs me to go north east for a bigger job"

lucy couldn't believe what she was hearing! Her father wasn't going to be around to beat her for a couple of months!

"you can still go to that...commoners high school if you want" he said with disgust and then walked out of her room and back to his office to prepare for his departure.

Lucy was so happy she couldn't have asked for anything better in the world! She got into her pajamas after putting everything she had in boxes with the help of her butler virgo and slipped into her slowly dozing off as virgo said goodnight m'lady and turned off the lights as lucy drifted into her sleep smiling...something she hadn't done in a while.
