The Magic Between Us
Chapter one.
Lucy Heartfilia was fed up. She really didn't understand why her father made her go to these things. These dumb events he hosted occasionally. I know it's to show off our wealth, but you would think living in a castle and being the fricking king would be was so sick of all the snooty people with sticks up their arses talking about stocks and trades whilst Lucy, like many other girls there, stood there in a dress wearing a fake smile. So, to calm herself down a bit she thought and listened to the people around her. She wanted to live. She had never been outside of the castle ground once. Lucy had no one to talk to anymore not after her mother died. It was very lonely in the castle where servants won't talk to you because of my stupid royal status. She was a prisoner, a prisoner in the wealthiest prison in the world. If only she had her note book and pen, she could write instead, only the problem with that is that without a doubt someone would ask what she is writing about and Lucy had no intention of sharing. Ever. All she did there was stand next to her father and someone would offer to dance once in a while. Not the best entertainment if you ask me. Lucy was wearing a light pink dress with a corset so tight she might not be able to breath ever again. The back dipped down past her shoulder blades leaving the ribbons to cross hatch over the exposed skin. Her breasts spilling over the top of the dress and her blonde hair was up in a fancy bun, with two strands down either sides of her face. She had white high heels on with gold twirls leading to the point in her shoe.
Lucy was standing next to a white pillar adorned with the Stella family crest when a little boy who looked no older than 8 came up to her. He had black hair that shagged over his green eyes. He had a stiff walk which was probably due to his suit he was wearing. He looked almost as bored as her. The boy said,
"Hello Miss, my name is Harry and my mum," Harry said looking over his shoulder at a middle ages woman who gave a small wave. "Wanted me to give you a dance because, erm uhh, because you are so pretty and looked kinda bored like me," Harry said with a smile. I smiled.
"Sure, let's go," So harry took my hand. I bent down a bit and he tread lightly on my shoes and we danced.
"So why don't you like this Madam?" Asked Harry.
"Well, there just aren't that many exciting people here I would rather be in my room writing, my name is Lucy by the way,"
"Ok Lucy, but writing is boring I would rather be hanging out with my friends, wouldn't you?" Harry asked smiling.
"Well the thing is, I don't have any friends," Lucy said looking down.
"Well, uhh, umm, I I I can be your friend and you can play mages with me and my friends." Harry stuttered.
"Yeh," I smiled. "Can you keep a secret Harry?" Harry's eyes widened.
"Of course, What is it?" I whispered in his ear.
"I am a real mage, I have Celestial Spirit Magic,"
"Cool! Your definitely on my team then." Harry said. "Wait wasn't the Queen a Cel Celestial Spirit Mage too?" Harry asked
"Yeh she was," I said staring at the floor.
"Ohh I'm sorry Miss Lucy I didn't mean to make you sad. My C C Condo Condole Condolences?" I smiled softly.
"That's correct." The song ended and I curtsied, and he bowed to me. I was sad to see him go.
"Well bye Miss Lucy see ya around ," He smiled and waved whilst running back to his mum. Lucy walked back to her previous pillar.
Twenty minuets in and another 2 people had asked her to dance, they were all old men looking to cop a feel. Perverts. Lucy was extremely bored and accidently eavesdropped on a couple of conversations. One of them between her Father and Mr Straight.
Jude Heartfilia, the king of the Stella Kingdom, stood a few meters away from Lucy with Mr Straight. They were talking about Mr Straights very successful career as a member for the council of Bosco, another country next to the Stella kingdom and Fiore. They proceeded onto the subject of Dan, Mr Straights son, a very perverted man who was very defiantly infatuated with her.
"Is Dan in a relationship with anyone, as a handsome man with him I wouldn't be surprised," Jude asked.
"No not yet as you know Dan only has eyes for Lucy your Majesty," Mr Straight chuckled. Lucy fearing the worse started silently praying. As If on que Dan came up to them trying to be included in the conversation. Dan was an alright looking guy with reddish brown hair and brown eyes. He was nearly always smirking with an attitude of a pig.
"Well then it's settled. What if you and Lucy," Jude said looking at Dan." Were to Marry, I would find that you Mr Straight," He said returning his gaze to the older one of the two. "Would be an excellent husband for Lucy." Lucy started to break into a cold sweat.
"Why of course! Wouldn't that be great Lu Lu!" Dan gushed looking at her. Jude gave Lucy a fearful gaze.
"Yes, definitely," Lucy lied. Jude looked satisfied.
"Come on Lu Lu! May I have this dance." Dan asked. Jude glared at her. Lucy took his hand to the ball room floor. As they danced Lucy thought of all the people in the world enjoying themselves and dancing for the fun of it. She thought of all the people who would trade their lives for hers in a heartbeat. She asked herself if she was selfish for wanting to leave.
Dan's hand were at the small of her back and were slowly getting lower and lower. Lucy grabbed his hands and pushed them back up to their original place. She glared at him.
"Uh Uh Uh if you do that again dear Lu Lu, I am going to tell your father how you were disobedient and we both know what happens then. "Dan sneered. Suddenly images of Lucy standing in front of Jude with a belt in his hand and her crying flashed before her eyes. When Lucy was younger she assumed that most girls had to hide their bruises and cuts from other people. That was until Lucy went to one of these event for the first time and saw how the princess of Fiore, Hisui E. Fiore, was having a lovely chat with her Father, the king of Fiore, until she caught her staring and all three of them talked, That was the only fun Lucy has ever really had. Lucy hasn't seen her since.
"Now be a good girl and leave my hands alone." Dans hands started to go lower once more until they reached her but. He squeezed. Lucy glared at him one last time. She grabbed his hands forced them to her back again jabbed her nails into his fingers and dug her high heels into his foot. He squeaked.
"Try that shit again and I will kick you in the balls so hard you won't be able to stand." Lucy whispered shouted.
"Point taken." Dan groaned. Lucy had enough of dancing and returned to her father and Mr Straight. Before Dan had a chance to speak Lucy said,
"Well I am suddenly feeling quite tired; please may I retire for tonight father."
"Very well, Goodnight Lucy," Jude replied coldly. Dan just glared at the back of her head as she walked off.
As soon as Lucy sat down on her bed, she burst out crying. This was terrible. She had to marry that perv. She knew her Dad didn't really care about her and saw her as a pawn to buy off. She knew that and still always held a glimmer of hope that he cared. She guessed not.
Lucy was not going to let these men control her life anymore. All these people who thought that just because she was a female they could control her. Maybe a face full of water from Aquarius and they would think otherwise.
"No." Lucy whispered. She clenched her hands in her fist and started to get ready. Then she got off her bed dried her eyes and got changed. Over the past months Lucy has been debating running away. She was going to go to Crocus, where Hisui lived her only friend. It would be along journey by train so maybe she would stop in Hargeon over night. Behind the vast amount of dresses ,that she barley wore, in her wardrobe was a rucksack full of necessary items, A picture of her mother, her keys and some clothes and toiletries and a few pouches of jewels. She got changed into a top, jeans and a hoodie. She stared at her room for the last time and jumped out the window, down the vines onto the small roof for the servants, behind the bins through the garden over the fence and onto the train station.
It was currently 4 In the morning and Lucy was on a train to Hargeon, Fiore. She had no doubt that Her Dad would come looking for her and there would be newspapers everywhere, but she couldn't stop now. She had come too far to stop now. She needed to lay low for a while until it all died down. If she ever was caught, she didn't think she would live to see the next sun rise. She shuddered. She tried to block out all the negative emotions and focused on what she might do when she got there. Lucy thought that she might become a librarian and open a small book shop. Yeh, that will be nice, she thought. Then Lucy drifted off to course Lucy would need a way of making sure people didn't recognise her, and it wouldn't be long until fathers resources stretched to Fiore anyway.
Lucy was nearing to Hargeon when she awoke. Lucy looked at her phone and saw it was around 4:45. She grabbed her rucksack and set off to the streets. With limited money Lucy just sat in a Café for most of the day until she realised, she didn't have a place to stay.
"Damn it how dumb can I get," Lucy smacked her hand against her head. It was around 6:30 and Lucy was walking around to find a hotel. Then Lucy heard a scream. She ran towards the sound. There in an alleyway behind a pub were two girls a few years younger than her, they were cornered buy three guys. She cracked her whip on the floor feeling her magical energy mixed with adrenaline in her veins. They all turned to look at her. One of the guys smashed a bottle against the wall.
"Leave them alone you assholes," Lucy shouted. Lucy ran forward and lashed one of the guys in the face and he was out cold.
"You bitch," another one said. Lucy Grabbed one of her keys from her bag.
"Open gate of the Bull, Taurus!" Lucy shouted. A bull the size of two grown men appeared and swung an axe at him. Then the third guy snuck behind Lucy and stabbed her in the back with a piece of the beer bottle. Lucy cried out. Then a flamed fist came out of no where at hit they guy in the head.
"Dammit woman, you stole my thunder," A guy said. Lucy having finished with the man earlier looked at him and cracked her whip again.
"Excuse me?" Lucy's panted whilst holding her back in pain.
"Whoaa there, sorry didn't mean it." The guy replied whilst sweeping his locks to the side.
Lucy leaned against the wall and bit her lip seeing black dots appear in her vision.
"You ok?" He asked concerned. Lucy fainted.
When she came too, Lucy was very worried. She assumed that her father had caught her already. That was until she looked around and saw a white room with white washed walls with medical items scattered around. This wasn't apart of the castle. She reached to her side and felt her keys and whip. At least she could defend herself. Suddenly Lucy's eyes widened and slowly lifted the bedsheet. She was still in her clothes from before. Lucy let out a sigh of relief. Onto to the next problem. Where was she? Lucy tried to sit up and a sharp pain hit her back. She ignored it and swung her feet to the side of the bed and stood up. Then the doors to her left opened. A guy holding some cookies and orange juice came in.
"Ohh hey your awake." The guy asked.
"you're the guys from last night." Lucy said narrowing her eyes. Now that she had a better look at him, she could see he has Pink hair? Onyx eyes and tanned skin. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt and jeans. Lucy could see his abs through the shirt making her blush. On his right shoulder was a weird red symbol.
"Yeh I am." The pinkette said.
"I'm sorry but who are you and where am I? If you have kidnapped me I swear to God."
"Hey, calm it down would ya and I could ask the same are you" The guy smirked. He handed Lucy the cookies and drink. Lucy eyes them suspiciously.
"They won't kill ya," He said as he bit into a cookie.
"I'm Lucy." Lucy replied. The man cocked an eyebrow.
"Just Lucy?" He said.
"Yes, got a problem," It was Lucy's turn to smirk.
" Nope.I'm Natsu, Natsu Dragneel. Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Natsu exclaimed with a crooked grin. Lucy smiled.
