Now, I kinda refined this paragraph because of some mistakes I made on it. So here is chapter 1…again…
I don't own Fairy Tail, only my OC's
"Aww, I wish I could fly, all this walking is killing me." I had just finished a job about a week ago and was on the way back to Fairy Tail. I knew that it was a long walk but I didn't want to spend money on a train since my rent was due and I needed the money the next day to pay it. What I didn't count on was efficiently spraining my ankle at the job. I didn't think anything of it; I mean it was a painting job for goodness sakes!
Apparently wearing high heals and climbing up and down a ladder don't go together well, so I bought my some cargo boots for the road, which by the way feel awesome. I look down at my brand new cargo boots and smile to myself. 'Maybe I should change my style some? I mean, everyone is always telling me how I dress is kinda showy.' I shrug, dismissing the thoughts in my head and look up at the road in front of me. 'Fairy Tail! Finally!'
I sprint to the building before falling on my face like a freakin moron. How could I forget about my sprained ankle? I was just telling you about it! Wait…who was I telling exactly? I push myself up looking back at my boots. How could I let all of these organic seeds called gravel taint my new shoes? I groan and continue to trudge my way to the guild. I open the doors to an extremely loud scream invading my poor ears. I instantly try to pinpoint the location of the scream and find most of the guild, pick a few, all huddled together. 'Is it cold in here?' Going towards the huddle of human bodies I see something most shocking.
Wendy, poor Wendy, being beaten into the floor…. And not a soul is trying to help her! 'I have to stop this.' I push myself through the circle of people and throw my body over Wendy's, making sure if someone were in the middle of hitting her, they would hit me instead. My back instantly feels like it's on fire from the punch. 'Wait? Fire? T-There's no way.'
I grit my teeth, fighting back the small scream of pain bubbling up in my throat and exhale slowly. When the pain diminishes, all goes quiet. I could here a pencil drop behind the counter actually. I push myself off of Wendy gently, not wanting to hurt her already bruised and beaten body anymore and look up at my attacker. My eyes lock onto charcoal black eyes and they widen. I gasp in shock at who hit Wendy and me.
"N-Natsu? W-Why would you hurt Wendy like this? I…I don't understand what's happening?" I look around the circle, seeing familiar faces. Erza, Gray, Natsu? I laugh nervously and try to hold back the small tears wanting to fall out back. "W-What are you guys doing?" Erza steps forward with hate and anger in her eyes, she glances down to the beaten form of Wendy. "She has done something unspeakable. She has killed one of our own nakama in cold blood. She must pay for her actions!" Erza steps forward and draws back her fist to punch Wendy once again.
I move my body in front of the hit and grunt in pain as it collides with my cheek. Erza's eyes widen for a second before narrowing again. "Lucy, step away from her." I shake my head with tears starting to leak from my eyes. "No! I will not allow you do this to poor Wendy. I don't care if she murdered someone or not, no one deserves this type of punishment! Where is master, he couldn't have possibly allowed this too happen!?"
Erza faltered a bit but still stood her ground in front of me. "Master is not here at the moment, he is currently at a meeting with the guild masters." "So, he has no idea that you are crippling your own nakama like this?" My ears are met silence until Wendy speaks up. "O-Onee-chan?" I turn quickly to the prone form of Wendy and place her head on my lap.
"It's okay Wendy, I'm here. They wont hurt you anymore." "Onee-chan, I-I didn't kill anyone." I run my fingers through her hair, trying to comfort her the best way I can at this moment. "I know Wendy, I believe you." I smile down at Wendy and look back up at the group around me. My eyes land on the dark black eyes of Natsu. "Natsu, h-how could you do something like this? I thought nakama was everything to you!" Natsu takes a small step back in shock and looks down to the wooden floor like it's the most interesting thing he has ever seen. "S-she killed one of my nakama Luce, she just killed him." "Who did she kill Natsu?" Natsu looks around the circle and his eyes land back on mine. "I…I don't know."
I lower my head to where my bangs are covering my eyes. A type of pressure builds in my stomach, waiting to burst through. The wooden floorboards and posts creak and stretch. "You mean…you don't even know if or who she killed?!" Natsu scratches his head nervously. "W-well, no not really. Lisanna told us that she saw Wendy kill a fairy Tail member. We didn't think twice."
"And you just went with it?"
"Yea kin-"
Natsu is cut off by the doors bursting open and Master rushing through the guild doors with a look of worry and anger on his face. "My children! That is not Lisanna, get away from her!" Gasps go through the hall and everyone immediately backs away from Lisanna.
'Lisanna' smiles an evil smile and burst into shadows, only to disappear from sight. Still feeling anger in my heart I carefully pick up the unmoving form of Wendy and slowly move towards master while everyone else is busy with the shock about the fake Lisanna. I didn't care right now if she was dead or alive, if she was even here or not. My first priority right now was Wendy-chan.
I move in front of master and sniffle. Master stares in shock at Wendy's body and immediately becomes infuriated. Before he yells out curses I manage to push out a 'shoosh'. He looks at me with angry eyes, though not directed towards me, and tilts his head to side some. I maneuver Wendys body and hold out my hand, hoping he understands what I'm saying.
He looks at me with sad eyes and smiles kindly at me. He takes his hands and sandwiches my one hand between his. I feel a ticking sensation on the top of my right hand. When he takes his hands away, my beloved guild mark is gone. Then he moves to Wendy and removes hers as well. He takes my hand once more and gives it a small kiss with a single tear that glided down his face and fell. He moves sideways to let me walk out.
He doesn't complain, he doesn't question. I sigh and trudge out of the guild to my apartment. No one notices I leave, or from what I can tell, no one has bursted through the guild doors looking for me and saying 'Come back Lucy!'. I can only imagine the hell master is putting Fairy Tail through. Making it to my apartment I open my door and go straight to my bed, setting Wendy down on it.
"What am I going to do?" I sigh and then get an idea. "Gate of the Maiden Key, Virgo!" I put my key back on the ring and see Virgo in front of me. "Is it punishment time princess?" Mentally face palming I shake my hands wildly in front of me. "N-No Virgo. I was wondering if you could pack my stuff and store it in the celestial world for a while? Oh and if there is any healing cream there could you bring me some please?" Virgo bows and says, "Yes princess, I will be back shortly." She pops out of existence, leaving a small white cloud behind.
I turn to Wendy and smile sadly. I had no idea what we were going to do or where we were going to go, all I knew was that we had to get out of here, no matter what. Standing I wet a washcloth from my bathroom and begin to dap and clean her face. "Oh Wendy, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you when you really needed me." She kinda shocked me some when she touched my hand; I had originally thought she had passed out on the way here from the lack of movement.
And there she was, m little trooper. She was smiling back at me through all the pain she has been through and hurt from the people she calls family. I knew I probably wouldn't have been able to smile after that. "It's ok Onee-chan, I forgive you. Just don't take me back there ok?"
I nod my head and continue to clean her face when Virgo pops back and hands me some healing cream. "Thank you Virgo, I owe you one." "Punishment?" I sigh and laugh. "No Virgo, no punishment. But if you want you can call moving my stuff into the spirit world punishment if it makes you happy." "Yes Princess."
I hear Virgo shuffling through my stuff, trying to decide which she should take or shouldn't. I turn back to Wendy and open the can, spreading the cream over her bruises and cuts. "Wendy, is it ok if I take your clothes off for a moment? I need to put the cream on your cuts and some are under your clothes. But just your clothes, not your undergarments."
I laugh some and look away, patiently waiting for her to finish. "I'm ready onee-chan." I turn to see Wendy sporting a blush that would put Ezra's hair to shame. I smile softly at Wendy and spread the rest of the cream on her wounds. I give her a small nightgown for her to go to sleep in and put her to bed. I finish helping Virgo pack and change into my own pajamas. I get into bed on the other side, near the window and try to go to sleep.
I hear a tap on my window at 2 a.m. and sigh, already knowing and dreading whom it is. I sit up, careful not to wake Wendy and open my window to see Natsu and Happy sitting behind it. "H-hey Luce. Can we…can we come in?" I let go of the breath I didn't know I was holding and slowly shake my head no. "I'm sorry Natsu, I can't let you in. I'm sure you understand."
Natsu frowns and Happy's ears droop. "Yea, I'll just come over tomorrow and speak to you. Oh and uh….I'm sorry about hitting you on your back. I didn't mean to. But we can go over all of this when we talk tomorrow." He dropped of my window seal, Happy still flying beside it with small tears in his eyes. He looks at me sometime before he hears Natsu call for him to hurry up. He gives me a small nod before disappearing. I close the window. 'No, you wont.' I thought. 'I'll be gone by then, both Wendy and me.' I snuggle back into bed and let sleep capture me for the night.
