Hello! Currently obsessed with fairy tail but very behind in the manga so this is a fic based from the early chapters. I couldn't help it honestly. I wrote this whole story in a day so try not to be too mean but do let me know what you think? NALU fan!
Chapter 1, She's gone.
"I'm glad you've come to your senses."
"Yes, father"
"Luuuuuucyyyyyy" Natsu sung through Lucy's open window.
"She's not here?" Erza came in from Lucy's bathroom.
"Why are you taking a bath!" Gray yelled at her but she ignored him and sat on the bed..
"Natsu.. Lucy wasn't at the guild.." Natsu said. "She's disappeared!" He added.
"Seeing as you are here, let us get down to business. I assume you are aware of my reaso for retreiving you?"
"I believe, I am" She looked down.
"Aye! A note!" Happy flew to her desk.
"Ahh! Letters! Read em' read em' read em' " Natsu exclaimed.
"Should we?" Erza looked at them.
"Lucy wouldn't like it" Happy looked scared.
"Who cares! Here's one!" Natsu picked one out of the bunch. It doesn't look like it had been sealed yet so Lucy would never know.
"Natsu you're going to rip it, moron. Give it!" Gray snatched it from Natsu.
"I am not,stupid! Give it back!" Natsu went to grab it from Gray's teasing hand but Erza caught it first.
"Lucy might feel better if I read it" She opened it.
"I doubt that.." Happy sighed.
"Dear mama" Erza started and the guys huddled together to listen. "He actually did it this time. It wasn't just some warning anymore. He hurt my friends this time, even me again. The coward was probably sitting at home the whole time watching too.. Wouldn't be that much of a surprise, would it? Say, mama? Do you think he'd go even further next time? Who am I kidding, of course he would. If he's doing this because of why I think he is then I won't even be able to imagine what else he'll do. He might.. kill him. I won't let him get near them. Not again."
"Why didn't she send all these letters?" Gray picked up the rest.
"Read another!" Natsu yelled.
"Read the note first!" Happy yelled.
"Note?"
"Aye!" Happy handed Erza the piece of paper from Lucy's desk.
"Went home..?"
"You will oblige then?"
"Have you made the choice without me?"
"Of course! You are not needed for approval of this arrangment! Such arrogance "
"Father, I've no intention of uniting myself with a man whom I've never met before." She looked him in the eyes.
"Oh? Might there be someone you already have in mind for you to defy your obligations?" He cocked a brow.
"It's not.. like that." She blushed but tried to hide it. He just laughed at her.
"Lucky.. Lucy -"
"Went home!?"
"As in to her father?!"
"I was afraid you'd behave like this..-"
"The man that hired Phantom "
"So I took the liberty of preparing myself..-"
"What? Wait- what is this!" Two men came from behind Lucy and grabbed hold of her arms was sure it would bruise the next day from so much pressure.
"The one she ran away from…"
"You will not abandon you duties again, Lucy." Was all he said before the men started to drag her out of the office.
"Father! What are you doing!" He didn't listen. Just turned back to his work as she was carried away while struggling as best as she could to get away. The men held her down and took her keys from her for measure. There was nothing she could do.
"Why would she go back to him "
"And after everything we just went through!"
"Quiet!" Erza yelled and they all stopped to look at her on the ground. She was thinking about something and there yelling wasn't making that any easier. "Does anyone actually know why she ran away from home?" She looked up at the boys but neither one of them knew. Not even Natsu. All he knew was that just the thought of going back home to him made her bawl in tears. So why now?
"Natsu.." Happy tugged on his clothes. "I'm scared for Lucy.." Natsu just nodded.
"The nerve of him! Locking me up like this and taking my keys dammit, let me out!" Lucy has been banging on the door ever since they threw her inside. It was her old room. The last place she wanted to end up.
"Banging at them won't open the door itself" Someone chuckled behind her.
Wait-
I know that voice..
"Maddie! Maddie Maddie Maddie!" Lucy ran and hugged the girl so quickly, they fell on the floor together. "I'm so happy to see you!" Lucy started crying.
"ayay, you haven't changed a bit over the years" Maddie giggled as she hugged the girl back. "I'm happy to see you too"
"What- sniff- are you -sniff- doing here?" Lucy looked up at her through tears.
"I work here still, silly" She smiled.
"Why! I told you to leave after me!" Lucy yelled.
"I'm sorry, love but I couldn't bare to do it. This place has been both of our lives and only you had the strength to leave it, I am sorry.." She looked down.
"Maddie.." Ludy hugged her again. "Why are you in my room?"
"I'm assigned to care for it"
"I don't plan on staying" Lucy stood up.
"I've been assigned to it since you've left, ma'am"
"You know to call me Lucy, Maddie and really? So he's honestly been expecting me? Such douchy attitude.." Lucy complained.
"Lucy?"
"Hm?"
"Why did you return?"
"I needed to speak with Father but it seems he still chooses not to listen." Lucy started to get mad again.
"He attacked my guild and destroyed it in search for me. He hurt my family and friends and I couldn't accept it so I came to set things straight but it seems like it'll take more work "
"Lucy!" Maddie hugged her and started crying. They were on the floor again.
"Ma- Maddie?" Lucy was confused.
"Please don't!"
"Huh?"
"Please don't anger the master more.. I can't- I don't want to see you hurt again.." Maddie was bawling and Lucy felt bad.
"Maddie "
"Please! For me? For mom!" She yelled and Lucy was surprised. Maddie never used their mother against her.
"Maddie.."
That scene where it's changing from person to person may seem confusing. Sorry but that's how it is in the head. Hope you can understand it! (:
