Author's Note: I do not own! WHEEEE! I created a language! WHEEEE! You are reading this! WHEEEE! And make it clear, if something is German, I really really don't know German. Oh right, it's just the first chapter and of exactly 1000 words. Please tell me if it's good!

Have fun reading minna!

Lucy rushed into the attic and rapped the door shut. Her vision had turned blurry, with half-nervousness and half-fear and maybe anxiousness. She slowly stalked the length of the room, where the box of brass, which seemed to give out a luminous flickering green light out of the little space it was open, rested majestically. The box had worn out with patches of fungus covering several different portions of the box. It looked approximately two- hundred years old. But Lucy knew exactly that it was of her those ancestors who lived two-hundred and nineteen years ago. She started to brush the dust off the lid of the box, again, where inscriptions were etched.

Something weird was written in the was able to translate it but did not know why she could.

"Esmello Etente Saint"- The Saint Emperor's Spoil.

'All right', Lucy thought, 'So now, at last, its time'. She gently opened the box, revealing what was inside. All these attempts have always led to something weird, weirder and creepier than earlier. She was never exactly able to know it contained. Except for a few glimpses, that was certainly some kind of clue. Now what she saw, was something like an abyss, that started inside the box. And suddenly, she could see things clearer and that too, far better than a normal human could see. What she saw wasn't good. Her senses thrived to show her this, but she didn't want this. It was her mother-Layla's head, covered with blood and something like gold bits with her eyes open and looking at Lucy. She was trying to say something Lucy could not figure out.

"NO!" Lucy woke up with a start, her eyes wide. "Oh my… oh my gods, no! Why am I seeing all this?"

"What are you seeing?" said an over -excited masculine voice. "It's the third time this week you're saying this after waking up."

Lucy took a deep breath and tried to calm down. Her dream was extremely disturbing. "Uhm well… it's the third time- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" She said.

"Don't try to change the topic, Lucy." Now, the voice was serious.

"It's nothing." Why she said that- she did not know.

"And always the same reply- it's nothing. C'mon, tell me what it is. What the point of hiding things from me?" It was Natsu.

"Aye! You don't need to hide anything from us, Lucy" said the shrilly kitty voice of Happy.

"We have a party at Levi's, right?" Lucy said, trying to change the topic again, "I gotta get a new dress for it, you know. I've worn all my dresses twice to her parties." She got up from her bed and started shuffling up all the party- wears existing her stylish closet. She turned and found Natsu right in front of her, looking directly into her eyes, standing uncomfortably near, glaring at her suspiciously. She thought, for a moment, JUST for a moment, that he was going to rip her soul apart or maybe say something cheesy. Instead, he grabbed her shoulders and said, "Lucy, you've been acting weird lately, tell me what's going on."

"Kii-i-i-i-i-i-ssss!" said Happy and Natsu loosened his grip. Lucy, at that point, took the chance and backed away.

"I think we should go for shopping," she said trying to break the tension and hurried into the bathroom before anyone can force her into bluffing up and feel guilty later.

Lucy got washed and dressed up in a normal white cotton blouse and a blue jean-skirt while Natsu and Happy were waiting in the Living Room. She got out and soon, they were marching along the markets. She knew that Natsu was gazing at her, trying to understand what was happening to her all the way. She tried to blarney along the way to clear his mind, but of course it was of no use.

She went into the "La femme" shop of the French designer (the best one in Magnolia) - Castaly. She designs and tailors the clothes herself. She doesn't keep a tailor as she doesn't want to pay her wages as she contributes her money to the poor families and generally likes to help others.

When Lucy entered, she was welcomed with words of different languages by Castaly which was weird: - "Ohio mademoiselle Lucy." "Hello Miss Castaly, it's a pleasure to come to here."

"I see you've got this gentleman with you, does he want some gowns too?" Oh. I forgot to mention. This lady is a big fan of the Weekly Sorcerer. And well, she too saw the punishment of the race on the first page of that issue.

Lucy giggled. "No Miss Castaly, it's all right. I have a party today so can you show me the latest party-wears?"

While she was looking at the dresses, Natsu sat on a desk, just beside where Lucy was standing. He was in a mixed state. He was extremely worried about Lucy. He sensed something fishy. After every dream, Lucy had the same wild look in her face, of fear. Same expressions each day was extremely unsettling for him. He was always over-protective towards his nakama so now he couldn't bear to see Lucy this way. She was obviously seeing something terrifying as she has never acted so clumsily before. All he could think was: - 'I have to know what's happening and do something.'

Thank you for reading! Should I continue it?
