I keep coming up with freaking ideas for different stories! and im not sure which one i want to work on more or what to do with 'I exceed you' though i do have some ideas. so here is another story i thought of that would not go away
please review and tell me whether to continue.
'All we did was take a little food, it's barely enough for us.' The blonde boy thought as he ran with his dark haired friend and their two cats away from an angry man chasing after them. They were only ten but it looked like the shop keeper would kill them anyway.
"Got you! You little brats!" the man said as he grabbed the back of both their shirts.
"Sting-kun!" a reddish brown cat cried as he looked back at his friend.
"I'll teach you not to steal from me!" he shouted as he threw them down and raised his hand to hit them.
The boys shut their eyes as they braced for the impact, when they heard a 'crack!' they flinched but felt no pain.
"What do you think you are doing?!" a voice demanded angrily causing both the boys to open their eyes. In front of them was a girl in a beautiful dress, she had blonde hair tied tightly in a bun and lots of expensive jewellery to show how wealthy she was. She held a whip that was tied tightly around the man's two hands restraining him thoroughly.
They heard all the people around them start to whisper to each other.
'It's Lady Heartfillia!'
'It's lucky Lucy Heartfillia!'
'What is she doing helping those street rats?'
"My lady! These two thieves stole from me! I was just punishing them." The man looked scared of this lady who had saved them.
"If that was the case you should have brought them to the police or simply let them go on their way if you could not be bothered to chase after them, you never use violence on a child." She hissed the last part and yanked forward on the whip making him fall onto his knees.
"I'm sorry my lady." The man snivelled.
"Damn right you are." She snarled. "Now go before I have you evicted from this city." She said yanking her whip back to her side.
"And you two!" she said turning to Rouge and Sting. "Come with me." She said taking their arms and yanking them towards a very fancy carriage. She threw them inside and let the cats fly in before climbing in with them.
"What do you want to do with Rouge-kun?" the cute little frog exceed said with tears in his eyes.
The blonde lady then reached forward and grabbed Sting's chin yanking his face closer to hers, sting closed his eyes as he waited for a slap or something else but his eyes popped open when he felt her fingers touch the scar above his eyebrow.
"Thank goodness I thought that had happened when he threw you, do you have any other wounds I should know about?" She said in a kind voice.
Both boys looked shocked before Rouge spoke up "You aren't going to punish us?"
"Punish you? Why would I do that?" she sounded genuinely confused.
"We are street rats and we stole, most people would have hit us by now." Rouge explained like it was obvious.
"That's horrible!" she gasped with tears in her eyes "Oh you poor boys, are you okay?"
"O-Oi don't cry! We're fine!" Sting yelled quickly trying to make the girl stop crying.
"Okay I'm sorry that was immature of me." She said as the calm look noble ladies have swept back onto her face. "Tell me where your house is I'll take you home."
"We don't have one." they said together emotionlessly.
"You- how long have you four been alone?" she said looking sad for them.
"A while look just drop us off anywhere. We don't need your help." Sting said venomously.
"Little brat and here I was about to offer you two dinner and a bed to sleep in for the night." She huffed.
The boys looked shocked and starving at the same time, they looked at each other thinking the same thing. "Well if it's only for one night then I think we'll accept Blondie." Sting said cockily, while blushing a bit.
"Yes thank you Lucy-sama." Rouge said elbowing sting in the ribs.
Her eyes sparkled at seeing their cuteness; she leaned forward and grabbed both of them in a huge hug. "Aww! You two are so cute!" she yelled squeezing them. "And don't call me that, if anything call me Lucy."
Both boys blushed at being called cute. "I am not cute! I will be the strongest mage in Fiore!" Sting yelled escaping her hug.
"Lucy-san, please let go." Rouge said losing oxygen.
"Oops sorry." She laughed letting him go. "By the way I don't know your names?"
"I am Lector and this is the strongest mage in Fiore Sting-kun!" the brown exceed said proudly.
"Rouge and this is Frosch." He said simply.
"They're cute too!" her eyes sparkled again. "I've never met so many friends in one day!" she said excitedly.
"Friends?" they all asked together.
"Yeah! Of course! We're friends right." She gave them a heart warming smile.
"I suppose I could allow you to be my friend." Sting said cockily.
"That would be very nice Lucy-san." Rouge said.
"Fro thinks so too!" The cute little exceed said giving her a hug.
"Obviously I will follow the strongest mages example and be your friend too!" The exceed cheered.
"Yay!" she cheered "now let's get some lunch!"
"Take these boys to the kitchen and feed them as much as they want, then dress them in proper clothes and show them to a room where they can sleep for the night." Lucy instructed a maid as she walked into the mansion they had pulled up in.
"Yes milady." The maid bowed before turning to the two boys.
"This way." She said clearly not happy being interrupted from her numerous chores.
"Oh and also they are to be treated with the utmost respect, is that clear?" Lucy instructed before walking off. "I am going to see my father."
The maid looked worried "Are you sure that is wise Lucy-sama? I could go tell him while you retire, I'll tell him you have a headache." She said frantically.
"No, I'll deal with it." She said walking off.
The maid looked heartbroken but turned to the two boys anyway "come with me young masters." She bowed and then started to lead them towards the kitchen.
"What was that about Sting-kun?" the exceed asked his companion.
"Maybe we should ask." Rouge said.
"Who the maid? I doubt she'll tell us." Sting said back.
"But didn't you hear we are young masters right now, she has to give you anything you want." Rouge said trying to use his friend's ego against him.
"You're right. Oi! Maid! We have a question!" he yelled at the girl in front of them.
The girl looked angry at how he was talking to her but she had her orders. "Yes young master?"
"What was that about earlier?" he asked obnoxiously.
"I don't know what you're talking about young master, the kitchen is close, is there anything you want me to ask the cook to make?" the maid said quickly changing the subject.
"One of everything and you know that thing with you and Lucy-san." He pressed on.
"That is the young lady's choice whether she tells you or not, here is the kitchen." The maid said walking into the kitchen with them following.
The boys walked inside and saw a huge kitchen full of busy cooks and chefs each more busy than the last.
"Marie! Did you find the lady? Who are the brats?" one big man said noticing their arrival.
"The lady is back she said for us to feed them anything they want, dress them and get them a room while she went to see her father." Marie said sadly.
Everyone stopped before going back to their duties but this time all of them looked worried.
"Come with me and we'll get your food." Marie said sitting them at a table before bringing on the first meal.
As the boys were being walked to their 'rooms' for the night they heard a loud yell come from a room somewhere down the hall.
"What was that?" Sting said walking towards the noise.
"No! Young master you mustn't! Please just come with me." The maid begged.
"Don't tell us what to do! We are dragon slayers and not just that, we are young masters!" Sting laughed cockily.
The cry sounded again but this time it was followed with sobbing, using their dragon slayer ears they could hear it was Lucy's voice.
Both boys ran off with their exceeds before the maid had a chance to stop them, they reached the door where the sobbing was coming from and gently pushed it open until they could see inside.
What they saw made them stop cold.
Lucy was lying on the ground with bruises all over her body and her clothes were ripped a bit, she was sobbing quietly as a blonde man kicked and punched her.
"You bring two street rats into my home and you feed them! You sneak out without telling anyone! If you have time for that then go attend to your studies!" as he yelled this he grabbed her wrist pulled her and shook her with every point he made.
"Yes father." Lucy said emotionlessly.
"Sting-kun, what's happening to Lucy-san? I don't want Lucy to be hurt!"
"Fro thinks so too!" Frosch said running into Rouges arms.
"We've got to help her!" sting said angrily to rouge who nodded.
They were about to go in when the maid from earlier caught up she grabbed both their shoulder and started pulling them away.
"Hey let me go! We need to save her!" Sting yelled.
"No." she said still dragging them.
"Don't you care at all?" Rouge said angrily snarling at the maid.
"Of course but there is nothing I can do." She said as she walked to a door and threw them both in.
"This is Lucy-sama's room; you'll stay here for tonight, that's how long it usually lasts anyway." She said closing the door and locking it.
"All night! No fucking way!" Sting roared as the exceeds cried for their friends and Rouge fumed.
"How can they let this happen?!" Sting spat angrily.
"I dunno but we can ask Lucy-san when she gets back." Rouge said angry.
They all fell asleep on Lucy's bed while they were waiting for her.
Sometime around 2 in the morning the door creaked open as a battered blonde walked in.
"Sting? Rouge? What are they doing here?" Lucy asked before she lay down on the bed with them gently.
They both woke up at feeling the bed move; when they saw how bad she looked they became even angrier. She looked like she had been through a war zone! Her arms and neck looked like someone had not only grabbed her but tried to choke her too.
"Lucy-san!" Sting said shaking her lightly.
"Mmm, sting? Go back to sleep." She said drifting off.
"What? That's all you have to say?!" he shouted angrily.
"Please wake up Lucy-san we wanna know what happened?" Rouge said calmly, not showing how angry he really was.
"No. go to sleep."
"NO! Why was your father hurting you?" Sting yelled loudly.
"It's not like it's new." She said bitterly. "Look just go to sleep and tomorrow you can do whatever you want."
"I wanna know the truth Lucy-san." Fro cried slamming into her chest.
Lucy let out a small 'oomph!' before passing out, as her body caught up with her.
"Lucy!" Lector, Sting and Frosch all cried before Rouge calmed them down by saying "She just passed out we can talk to her in the morning.
And so they all huddled together and fell asleep like that.
3 months later.
"Oi! Blondie! Wake up!" Sting said shaking the blonde in between him and his partner Rouge.
"No...wanna...sleep." she mumbled hugging closer to Rouge.
"Lucy-san Fro wants to hug Rouge-kun!" the exceed said trying to get the girl off her partner. Lucy said nothing as she rolled over and fell back asleep.
"You've got lessons today! Get up!" Sting yelled pushing her shoulder, he hit exactly on a painful bruise and she sat up hissing at the pain.
"Lucy!" they cried together. "are you alright?"
"I'm fine guys don't worry," she brushed it off as she got up carefully. "now I need to get dressed so I'll see you at breakfast." She said shoving them out of the room, when they were gone she finally let herself cry about the beating from last night, her father didn't even need a reason anymore, it was just like she was there for him to work out his rage on.
Outside Both Rouge and Sting with their hearing heard her tears, they tried to protect her again but as they were learning no one could stand against a Heartfillia.
But they wouldn't let that stop them; everyday as she studied they went off to train with master Jiemma of Sabertooth. he would teach them so they could be the strongest and get into his guild which only accepted the strongest, they had even allowed him to put dragon lacrima's into his body so that they could be strong enough to save Lucy and beat their rivals. It was a goal Lucy had given them. She wanted to be just as good as her mother; they wanted to be just as strong as Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox,
Today was different however when they got home Lucy would always greet them with a smile as the exceeds flew into her arm/chest for a hug, today Lucy ignored them as she worked on some money management, her financial work had become very important of late; maybe it was because her father had been pressuring her more. She was coming back even later with more bruises and didn't even talk to them before she fell asleep hugging the two boys to her chest.
Today she went straight to bed complaining her stomach hurt, Sting and Rouge followed as they knew she couldn't sleep without them next to her.
Tonight though she sent them away saying she wanted to be alone, they protested until she gave in and let them sleep with her again.
Something was so off today that the two boys hugged close to her and tried to make her smile again with their stories of training and going to the nearby village, Lucy always enjoyed these stories as she almost never got out of the house, the last time she had was when she had first found Sting and Rouge. Eventually they fell asleep as they hugged her tightly and she stroked their hair.
They were sound asleep in the middle of the night when a certain blonde woke up, they still didn't wake up when she stealthily removed herself from their hug and replaced her body with a pillow which they both immediately hugged again. Before the blonde left the room she kissed both their foreheads lightly and gave a soft pat to both the exceeds.
"Good bye I hope Mrs Spetto will keep her promise." And with that she walked out the door with only a suitcase of some normal clothes she had had Marie buy for her.
