The wooden door creaked open and in walked a petite blonde. The night had fallen and darkness dominated the evening sky. It was days like this she found most difficult to sleep. She changed into her pajamas and laid in bed, staring up into her glowing ceiling.
Her parents had the special starry effect installed when they discovered her love for stars and celestial beings. But that was all in the past. It wasn't uncommon that she felt this way but, Lucy felt unloved, unnourished and most of all, unwanted.
The more she thought about how she was being treated, the angrier she got. Ugly emotions bubbled inside her as her grip on her little sister, Michelle, tightened. Her nails dug into her palm, engraving cute little crescents. It was then she made a life-changing decision.
Throwing the doll in her hands aside, she yanked a suitcase out of the closet and opened it in such hurry, the zipper broke off.
"Whoa." And to think the other kids thought she was weak. HA! She'll prove them!
The violent act calmed her slightly but anger was still lingering in her mind, not allowing the girl to think rationally. The once perfect suitcase was tossed aside carelessly as Lucy pulled out another one to replace it. Yes, she was spoiled, so what? Money doesn't buy you happiness, at least, not real happiness…right? She wasn't so sure anymore. Running away seemed like the best decision then but, was it the right thing? She pondered while packing her clothes and valuables at the pace of a snail so she can have more time to think.
She had always been the perfect daughter but, is she ready to let go and brave her father this one final time? Whatever, I can always return home if it's impossible to survive on my own. He won't even notice I'm gone. Lucy's lips twitched upwards a little at the thought, forming a bittersweet smile. With that thought in mind, she finished packing and stood up to take in reality.
This…was really happening…to her! Lucy took a deep breath and glanced around her room to savor the last moments in this prison of hers. Sure, it was lovely but she longed for some outside interaction, with actual human beings instead of some robotic servants.
So at the peak of dawn, she waved goodbye to her home and started off to her new life. She strutted out of the Heartfilia estate, rolling her suitcase behind her. The sun was already rising by the time she got to the train station. But of course, no one will know where to look for her once they notice she's missing in a few days, weeks, or maybe months.
Lucy stared at the ticket in her hand. Where exactly is she going? Well, they say to always follow your heart so, that's exactly what I'm going to do! The blonde mage looked up with a determined look and pumped her fists for self-encouragement. She rolled her luggage into the train cart and settled down in a seat near the window.
She hasn't been out in the real world often and boy is she excited! Lucy could practically feel her lips stretching from one ear to the next as she thought about the endless possibilities awaiting her. She wiggled and squirmed in her seat, unable to keep still from all the excitement building up. She jumped up and down and squealed, unable to contain the feelings any longer, then looked around to see if anyone saw.
Fortunately, there were few people in the whole station itself due to the time. "Phew," Lucy let out a sigh of relief and plopped down in her seat just as the train started its engine.
"PEACE LATER SUCKERS!" Lucy shouted before going into a giggling fit.
