Hey everyone, I'm back. Did you miss me? Well I missed you guys!
So this was an idea that I came up with one day. This won't have any romance in it sorry.
Anyway I hope you enjoy it!
It's never easy being alone, being the only person to endure your survival. People however always seem to find a way to get by, or find where they belong. I should know, I found where I belong, with my fellow fairies at Fairy Tail. What's worse than being alone, is being forced to be alone, to protect those you love and care about.
I never thought I would be someone to voluntarily be alone and be forced to be alone, but, I somehow never was truly alone, until now at least. I layed alone in my bed, in a city I've only just arrived in, a bag of new clothes by the bedside. I brought nothing with me, not even my celestial keys, I can't have anyone find me. I got out of the bed and picked up the bag of clothes, then walked into the bathroom. There wasn't much in the bag, a pair of dark blue jeans, a light grey shirt, a pair of black gloves with the fingers cut off, and a black hoodie.
I changed into my new clothes, and looked at myself in the mirror. The gloves were meant to cover up my guild insignia, which from the looks of it were working pretty well. I wasn't used to wearing dark colors so seeing myself in the mirror looked pretty strange. My hair was hanging down, the only thing left for people to recognize me by. There was only one thing left in the bag, a pair of scissors.
The silver blades on the scissors made me feel cold, but I lifted them out of the bag, and gave a final look at my long blonde hair. Slowly, I started to cut parts of my hair off, clobs of blonde hair fell to the ground. My hair went from being past my shoulder to barely being to my ear. It reminded me of Natsu's hair, how messy it was anyway, but a shorter version of it. I cleaned up the remains of my long hair and threw it away, I also cut up my old clothes and threw them away as well.
After cleaning up the mess I had made I looked in the mirror again, the person who looked back wasn't in any shape Lucy Heartfilia, it was like a dark version of her. The messily cut hair was sticking up in all directions, but strangely fit the look. I gave a weak smile to the person in the mirror, who returned it.
"The hardest part is over at least," I said softly with a sigh of relief. There was only one thing left to do, I lifted the nearby bottle of perfume that was given to me as a sample and sprayed it all over my body to ensure no one could pick up my direct scent.
3 Weeks Earlier
"I'm just saying," Natsu said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"You're just saying that you could have taken on all those bandits on your own," Gray said with a smirk. "Then why did you call out to Lucy," Gray said still smirking, Erza let out a small giggle as Natsu stopped walking and turned towards Gray.
"I was worried about Lucy," Natsu said childishly.
"Sure you where flame brain," Gray said as he walked past Natsu. I could tell Natsu was starting to get angry, which made me also giggle a little bit. The four of us walked by my apartment.
"Hey, I'll catch up with you guys at the guild," I said smiling, giving them a wave of good bye.
"Don't take too long Luce," Natsu called back as I began to enter. I hurried up to my apartment and opened the door to find a note on the floor. It was addressed to me, but the letters were a dark blue, and strangely gave me the feeling of needing to run. I opened the letter and began to read the short note it held.
Ms. Heartfilia,
It has come into our attention that you hold a majority of the golden keys, and we just so happen to be looking for a Celestial Wizard. We request that you meet us at 12 tonight. If you deny our request to meet bad things will happen to your friends. We truly hope you accept our request.
Your Friends.
The note sent shivers up my spine, there was an odd presence that came with the letter. Like what ever was going to happen if I didn't comply wood actually happen.
Present Time
I was walking down the street from my hotel, my hands in my pockets, my hood pulled up. I could only imagine what was going at at Fairy Tail, at this point I wouldn't have been there for the past 2 days. Natsu would probably be the most worried if he goes into my apartment and sees that I'm not there.
I felt sorry for leaving everyone at Fairy Tail, for not leaving a note, or anything. If they find me they might even be more heartbroken to see what I've become, or I should say becoming. I need to act the role I'm looking, which in this case is someone who's not afraid to get into a fight.
But if I'm to act like I'm not afraid to get into a fight I would need to learn how to fight without magic, or weapons. I glanced down at my hand and made a weak fist, I never imagined I would have to learn to fight hand to hand. When I looked back up I ran into someone who was facing away from me.
"Hey, what's the big idea," the lady said turning around with anger in her eyes. She had long brown hair, and pale blue eyes that fit with her somewhat muscular body.
"Uh, sorry, wasn't paying attention," I quickly apologized in a monotone voice. Then her eyes flickered for a second, and the anger left.
"No one takes responsibility for their actions anymore, I like you," she said a wide smile appearing on her face.
"Uh, thanks," I replied, turning to walk back towards my hotel room.
"Not so fast," she said grabbing my shoulder and turning me around. "Are you trying to get into a fight," she asked, a smile still on her face.
"Uh, no," I answered again trying to turn away and walk back towards the hotel.
"Well you're going to get into a fight looking like that. And I take it that by the way you apologized you don't want to get into fights," she said again grabbing my shoulder and turning me around.
"No, I don't want to get into fights," I replied, giving up on walking back to my hotel.
"Do you even know how to fight," the woman asked her smile disappearing to be replaced with a slightly confused face.
"I can fight with a whip," I answered, the woman's eyes then scanned my body for a whip.
"Then why don't you have one".
"I, uh, didn't think I would need one".
"You don't have one period do you".
"Not at the moment".
"Do you intend to get one".
"Not really".
"That's it," she said a smile appearing on her face. "You're coming with me," she said throwing her arm over my shoulder.
"Uh, I really don't think this is a good idea," I stammered in shock of being pulled farther away from my hotel room.
"Don't worry you'll be fine, my name's Zo," Zo said looking at me with a wide smile that reminded me of Natsu's. "What's your name," she then asked.
"My name, uh, it's Nix," I replied.
"You don't sound so sure about that," Zo said.
"My name's Nix," I repeated with a sterner tone.
"I like you Nix, I can tell you and I will go a long way," she said still smiling as she dragged me down the street.
