Race Through It Hero: Complications
Lucy Heartfillia very pretty girl, brown eyes, busty curves that would catch any man's eye, beautiful big brown eyes and blonde hair that draped down to her shoulders watched out her bedroom's window as a storm proceeded. It was late May and storms intended to happen constantly around that time of the month, at least in her opinion that's what she thought. She let out a small sigh as she continued to stare and wonder about life, that thought always crossed her mind constantly. Whether it was during her dance lessons, piano lessons or even when she attended dinner with her father in the late evenings. A knock at the door caught her attention to be averted towards the door, walking in came one of her servants. She walked up to Lucy before bowing her head in a respectful manner and looking up at her with a gracious smile.
"Miss Lucy, your father wanted me to deliver a message to you." Lucy rolled her eyes as she nodded her head for the maid to proceed to tell her the message sent by her father."He wanted me to inform you that suitors will arrive early morning on your behalf and for you to get prepared." She told her, Lucy was choking on words right there and then. She nodded her head slowly before giving a bow and turning back towards the window, the maid took that as a sign and excused herself from the room, before making her exit. The door shut silently and Lucy couldn't believe this, she couldn't believe him.
"How many times father..." She muttered to herself closing her curtains and storming out of her room."How many times do I have to beg?" She grumbled holding up her dress as she continued to stomp down the long hallway, passing the servants that watched her with questioning looks, but once they saw the look on her face they immediately went on about their business."I don't want this.." She thought to herself as she finally reached the door and pushing it open not caring about the force."I WANT TO CHOOSE MY OWN PATH!
Breathing heavily she soon came face to face with her father that did not look very thrilled to see her. Arms still spread open wide from her pushing the door with great force she slowly lowered them and glared at her father. He looked at his servant to the right of him and dismissed him to leave so that he could deal with the problem in hand. Once the servant left Lucy's father got up from his chair and began walking closer to her with a grimace on his face."What is the meaning of this?" He growled, hands in his pocket as he looked down at his daughter who didn't look very happy.
"Suitors? Really? How many time do I have to tell you I don't want to get married to some STRANGER!" She yelled. Her father's face began to turn a dark shade of red he was furious to have the same argument again. She was Lucy Heartfillia, originally known as Lucky Lucy Heartfillia, she was going to be the one to keep the family's business up and going when he dies and she cannot do it alone. It didn't matter if she wanted to or not he made the decision and she is ordered to follow it through for the sake of the company, therefore she needed to get married as soon as possible.
"Lucy, I will not go through this again my mind is made up. You will do what I say or so help me you will never see daylight!" He threatened. Lucy only glared and didn't stand down from the argument at hand. She wasn't going to let it end like this she wanted to marry someone she could love on forever, not some man in a fancy suit that wants to marry her for her family money and she couldn't understand why her father couldn't see that."This is not just about you getting hitched, its for the sake of the Heartfillia families company. You know that this business has been in our family for years! What would your mother think if you were to sabotage something that's been in out family for generations. Very disappointing." He snapped.
"You wanna know what mom would think father?" She mutter to herself. Tears had began to fall down her eyes freely as she continued to shake."Mother would of wanted me to choose my own future, one that you cannot take away from me! Can't you see father...I'M UNHAPPY!" She said looking up at him with tears in her eyes. He only looked at her and shook his head, she was being absolutely ridiculous and was not going to discuss this any farther."That's what mother would say..." She whispered.
"Enough." He said to her in a stern voice as he held up his hand to stop her from speaking."You will get married..and we both know that if your mother was still alive today she would tell you just how important this is for us Lucy. I understand how you feel, but what your feeling right now is not important and you must live on to understand that this is the best solution for us." He explained to her, but she wasn't buying anything that he was saying. She refused to believe that her mother would want her life to be like this. He was wrong. Why couldn't he understand that money cannot but him happiness?
"You mean the best solution for you father...not us." She said in a low toned voice. Soon in came two servants Lucy's father nodded and they began to lead Lucy out of the room. "Be sure to lock her in." She could hear her father say as the doors shut behind them.
She was escorted directly to her room without any dinner not that she cared at all. Walking over towards her dresser she then rummaged through her stuff and occasionally looked back to make sure that no one was coming as she pulled out a cell phone. She quickly dialed a number into the phone and awaited an answer. After about two minutes a female voice was heard.
"Hello?"
"Levy?"
"Lu, how are ya girl? I haven't talked to you in ages."
"Iv'e been alright." Lucy smiled making sure to keep her voice down so that she isn't found out. Her father always told her that using cellphones is a wreck considering it was considered a peasants item and should not be used by someone on her level. She didn't believe him thought. "Levy, I have a favor to ask you." She said quickly skipping right to the point. She could hear Levy ask lots of questions on the other end on the phone. Levy was one of Lucy's best friends in the entire world, they met one day when Lucy's father had a conference in town and she was ordered to tag along for reasons that she didn't care to remember, she soon met Levy and the two soon became friend's, but that all changed when her father found out. He banned her for hanging out with Levy because she was not at Lucy's level. She could never forget a day like that. For once she was happy, and he again took happiness away from her.
"Just name it Lucy, and I will try my best to make it happen." Levy assured her in the best way possible. Lucy smiled as she shed a small tear she truly loved Levy so much and didn't know what she would do without her."So what is it that you need girly?"
"I-I want to join your guilt. I know I asked you this many times before but the truth is Lev, I'm a wizard you and I both know this. Iv'e hidden it from my father since I was six, what else am I to do? I have the powers to make people happy, change lives like other wizards do. How am I supposed to do that if I'm locked up here like a princess locked away in a tower." Lucy explained she could hear Levy sigh on the other end.
"Lucy, I know you mean well I truly do. I could get you into my guild, but if your father was to find out, you know how much he hates wizards." She told her. Lucy understood that very clearly about how her father despised all wizards. He never saw them for the good things that they do for the kingdom of Fore. Unlike her father Lucy has known for them to do many great things to keep the land at peace and she can't help to think that she could too."Luce, is this really something that you want? I mean there is a lot than just being a wizard and joining a guilt. Lives can also be lost." She whispered.
"That's life Levy, I don't care as long as I can do something to change lives and to help others. Like I said before...what's the point of having magical powers. If you cannot use them to your full potential?" She mentioned. She could hear Levy laughing at the other end of the phone and Lucy couldn't help to laugh too.
"Alright, if this is what you want you know were to meet me." She said. Lucy smirked and nodded her head she was very excited this was something that could change her life."Please be careful on your way here." Levy reminded her.
"Don't worry I will, see ya in a few." She said quietly and hung up. She quickly threw the cellphone on the bed and rushed over towards her wardrobe, in the way back of her closet she pulled out a dark blue skit, a pair of black heeled boots, a white shirt with dark blue lines, her whip and most importantly he hair tie and belt. Lucy began to strip down and throw her formal pink handmade dress that he father had bought her from a different country and threw it to the side, and began slipping on her new entire. She pulled her bow tight forming a cute and small ponytail on the right side of her head." Now I need one more thing before I go.."
Lucy walked over towards her bed and under it she lifted up a piece of the floor board and there lied her keys. She grabbed them and examined them before dusting it off with her hand and coughed at the dust that kicked up from it. She hasn't touched her keys in years always afraid that he father would walk in and catch her with them."I should probably summon on of my spirits, but considering last time might not be such a good idea." She decided and latched them onto her belt, she should wait until later maybe Levy could give her some tips. Lucy sighed and walked over to her window, it was dark and she could still hear the rain pouring. She quietly pushed her window open and stepped out on the ledge looking out into pitch darkness, there was no turning back now it was now or never. Without a second thought she jumped from her window she was completely air born, reaching for her whip she grabbed it and threw it a pole and it caught on just before she could hit the ground. She safely jumped down. Looking up at her window she frowned there were many memories of that house that she will never forget, but it was time to move on.
"Looking out through that window and wondering...but from down here I can take action." She whispered and began running as fast as her legs could carry her she had to meet Levy at her house. Sooner or later a servant will notice that she is gone and come looking for her, good thing they didn't know the location of Levy's house. Lucy continued to run until she heard her cellphone ring and noticed it was Levy calling her, she accepted the call and started to talk while running. Stopping was not an option.
"Hello? Lu, what's taking you so long?"
"You know Levy, complications."
