A/N-this chapter was not changed much in my rewrite and has remained basically the same except for one minor line deletion and a small addition toward the end.
Disclaimer-I do not own Fairy Tail, that credit goes to Hiro Mashima
SUMMARY: Lucy leaves the guild heartbroken after seeing Natsu and Lisanna kiss. A cloaked man tells her she is pregnant and will give birth to the 1st dragon master born in 10,000 years. Will her child's magic be used for good? Or will it be used to bring death and destruction to the world. Story starts a bit cliche but trust me it gets better as it goes so please give it a chance; don't believe me? Check out my reviews I hope you like it! Enjoy =)
Normal POV
The sky was dark with tumultuous storm clouds churning and dark as lighting flashed illuminating the pitch-black streets of Magnolia. The rain fell down in sheets soaking everything. Thunder echoed breaking the silence of the night, accompanied by the footsteps of a frantic mage as her feet splashed and hit the surrounding puddles and cobble stone floor.
Lucy's POV
'No this can't be happening' thought the mage 'I didn't just see him kiss her, not Natsu,' but deep down she knew.
She knew it all along. They had a past after all. He never loved her, not that way, not like she loved him. She had hoped after that night that things would be different, but Lisanna was back now from Edolas, and she was just a replacement. It had been over a month since she had been on a mission, a month since Natsu had bothered speaking to her, a month since that fateful incident.
I held my tears in, I wouldn't cry, no I would be stronger then that.
As I ran I suddenly collided with a cloaked figure.
"Lucy…I finally found you."
"Who are you?" I asked as I quaked in fear.
The figure had a foreboding presence about him that instantly set her on alert. He had a dark aura that surrounding him and she could sense a powerful magical presence.
"You need not be afraid young one. I have no intention of hurting you, no I have come to warn you."
Lucy stared back with a confused look on her face, "About what?" she asked.
"About the child you carry in your womb. Heed my warning and know this, with in the year you will bear a young girl who will possess a magical power the likes of which this world has never seen. She will be the strongest mage ever born, stronger then even the ten wizard saints. You will give birth to the first Dragon Master born in over ten millennia. This child's future is not yet clear to me, but one thing is for sure whether her power is claimed for dark, or light will decide the fate of the entire world. Should the child's magic be claimed for dark it will bring death and destruction to those you love, but should it be claimed for light she will be the saving grace of us all."
"And how is that?"
"She will be able to do what no other has been able to do before her. She will be able to slay the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse Acnolgia and rid this world of the darkness that plagues it."
Lucy shook with the information she just heard. It couldn't be true, there was no way she was pregnant, and with such a powerful child at that.
"No I don't believe you!" she yelled.
"But you will, in due time you will. Take care of yourself, it's rare, but I pray you survive the birth of your child, most who bore the Dragon Masters didn't, but perhaps you are different. I would leave this place if I were you. It's best if they believe you to be dead. Should word of your child get out you and everyone around you will be in grave danger. Protect the child at all costs!"
With that the figure disappeared in a cloud of black smoke vanishing before her eyes.
'No, no this can't be.' She fell to her knees her tears now streaming down her face accompanying the still falling rain. She numbly rose to her feet and walked over to the nearest pharmacy. She purchased the test and walked in a daze back to her apartment.
She stripped from her still wet and dripping clothes and walked into the hot shower allowing the hot water to ease the tension in her tight muscles and alleviate the shivers that racked her body. When she stepped out she still felt irrevocably cold, and could not warm herself. She took out the test and followed the instructions. She placed it on the counter and paced her room waiting for the results, back and forth she went, the storm raging inside her matched the one occurring outside. Finally she heard the ping from the test signaling its completion.
Lucy dashed for it and stared in horror at the plus sign. She was pregnant, she really was. The man hadn't been lying. She couldn't stop the sobs that racked her body. She was alone, oh god she would have to do this alone. She couldn't put the guild members in danger. They were her family, even if they hadn't been acting as such. She would protect them; she would protect her family at all costs. Her hand unconsciously traveled to her abdomen where she now knew life was growing.
"We are going to be ok little one. I promise to take care of you; no one will ever hurt you. I swear it on my life. You will be safe."
"Gate of the maiden I open thee, Virgo!"
"Yes princess." Virgo said as she bowed, "Virgo pack everything you can quickly, and take it to the train station. We are leaving."
"Very well princess," and with that Virgo packed everything in a flash and disappeared running off toward the train station.
Lucy sat and began writing a letter to the guild that she had grown to love so much.
"Its better if they believe you to be dead…" echoed the voice of the cloaked man.
Dear Fairy Tail,
If you are reading this now that means I'm already dead. Yes dead, I haven't run off so don't bother looking for me. For the past month I have been ignored by all of you. I was nothing more than a replacement for Lisanna. It took me time to realize this, but eventually I came to accept it. If I was no longer wanted in this world, then I would go to a world where I was. Perhaps I'll be happier in my next life, perhaps I'll be happier now that I am reunited with my parents. Thank you for the adventures. My time spent here has left me with some of the happiest memories. I will cherish them always. Do not mourn my death, instead cherish each other and make more happy memories; you all deserve it. I love all of you and it will be hard to say good-bye, but most of all Natsu I love you; don't take this too hard. Be happy with Lisanna, I wish you the best future, one filled with happiness and smiles.
Good Bye Fairy Tail,
Lucy
Lucy left the letter where she knew it would be found, and with one final lingering look at her apartment she journeyed off into the night saying good bye to the only home she had truly known her entire life.
"Good-bye, Minna. Be safe."
Suddenly a flash of golden light occurred and Loke appeared before her.
"I acquired this from the Spirit King; it will help mask you magical presence along with that of your child's. It will even hide your scent should one of the Dragon slayers come after you.''
"Thank you Loke."
"Shall we be off now princess."
I nodded my head and we boarded the train. As I took my seat I was quickly over come by exhaustion, and I let the darkness take me.
At the Guild(master's office)
A cloud of black smoke formed and billowed before me, and I waited patiently as the familiar figure began to reassemble and take form.
"Alastair...it's been a while. What brings you here?" dread slowly began filling the old mage. He knew the mage before him was a harbinger for bad news.
"The time has finally come Makarov. Everything is in place. This era is approaching it's end and with the rise of Zeref, and the reappearance of Acnologia, dragons will begin to roam the earth once more. Death is upon us, and he rides silently and swiftly into the night sparing no one."
"Is there anyway to stop it? Is there any chance of saving this dying world" I asked hoping there would be some hope in saving his brats.
"One chance, one girl who has yet to be born."
"Who?"
"You know her mother, Lucy. In the coming days you will be informed of her death, those are false rumors. She is very much alive at the moment, but if you want any chance of saving those you care about you will keep this fact from your guild. All must believe that she has died."
"So you wish for me to lie to my children? That lie will have the power to destroy them!"
"Tell them the truth, and you will seal this world's fate. Better for one guild to suffer, then for the world to perish for your selfishness."
"I don't know if I can..." sighed the old man guilt and grief filling him.
"Tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth." stated Alastair simply
"What do you mean?" asked the old man.
"The girl...she is marked for death. She does not have long to live."
PS- incase there were any questions as to why Alastair(the cloaked figure) knew all of this the answer is this; he's a prophet or psychic whatever you wanna call him. He sees the future/ has visions. He has other powers to obviously he can teleport, and the other magic he has, well I haven't decided yet...but it will probably have something to do with shadow magic.
A/N- This work was originally titled Light in the Dark, but after writing the 3rd chapter this titled made more sense(just wanted to to explain so there would be no confusion)
