This is a Nalu pairing. This is my 1st fanfic, so please read and review. This is rated T. Thanks!
"Natsu….Please…Don't make it harder for me."Lucy said in between sobs. "Luce…I won't let you…you can't." Natsu growled balling his fists up ready to attack again. He was trying to get rid of the magic seal Lucy was in."This is the only way, Natsu…"she said. A loud sound followed by a white light appeared out of nowhere blinding him and with that she disappeared. Never coming back to him.
'My Dream of us"
Lucy Heartfillia was in her apartment, adding another chapter to her novel. Heaving a big sigh, she closed the book.
"Finally, it's finished." yawned the blonde mage. She stood up and turned around only to be greeted by the hyper active Natsu Dragneel.
"Hey Lucy, Let's go on a mission?" he glanced at her surprised expression.
"NATSU! What are you doing here at this time?"She gazed at the clock. '1 a.m.'
"Don't you know the meaning of sleep? I want to get some rest. I'm tired." she grumbled.
"Lucy? Can I spend the night here?"The dragon slayer asked innocently.
"NO!Don't you have your own house? I want to get a good's night sleep. I'll meet you at the guild tomorrow." she yawned again and dragged herself to the bed. "Please….Lucy. Just tonight."
She gave up after a few more minutes, which felt more like hours, of pestering from the dragon slayer "Oh, okay but you're sleeping on the couch. Just tonight, alright?"He nodded. Giving that signature grin. She didn't hate it when Natsu spent the night at her place. It's just that whenever he's there, her feelings might betray her and let themselves out on their own.
"It's Natsu. He's too dense to know anything."She giggled staring at his back as he tried to adjust himself on the small couch. He was too big for the couch and often found himself grasping on the sides preventing him from falling off. The dragon slayer heard her giggle and looked at her. Giving her a thumbs up to say he was alright, she gave him a smile.
"He really is too cute like that." She thought dreamily. Too tired from finishing her novel, she pulled the blanket over her and she was soon dozing off. The dragon slayer fed up with falling off from the couch for the umpteenth time picked himself up and walked towards the direction of the bed. He quietly slid himself underneath the blankets being careful not to wake the blonde mage up.
"Good night, Luce!" the dragon slayer grinned giving the sleeping young mage beside him a pat on the head. With that, he laid himself on the bed and was soon on his way to dreamland.
Lucy… Lucy… Lucy…
"Where am I?"The blonde mage rubbed her eyes and only saw white mist around her. A voice? Whose? It seemed rather familiar. She looked around trying to see past through the mist. A silhouette of someone.
Out of curiosity, she started towards the direction of the warm and soothing voice that called out to her. As she got closer and closer, she recognized the all too familiar tone of her mother's voice. She made a dash towards it and stopped on her tracks.
Her mouth gaped open as she saw her mother, Layla, standing there looking at her with that warm and lovely smile. She was how the young mage had remembered her to be. She still had that warmth radiating from her, that smile that could melt your heart and the kindness in her deep brown eyes. She was wearing that same white night gown she was wearing before she had disappeared from their lives many years ago. Lucy was holding back her tears to no avail.
"Hic..Hic…Mom, Is that…really…you?" Lucy said in between sobs. "It is me, my daughter." She replied. On impulse, the blonde mage made her way to her mother and gave her a gigantic hug and cried in her arms. "You're still a crybaby…like I remembered." Her mother giggled. Oh, how she missed that time her mother and her were just enjoying their picnic outside and looking at the sakura trees outside their mansion laughing at the wonderful stories she would tell.
"My child, I have to talk to you about something very important." She said her voice low. "What's wrong, mom?" the blonde mage asked worried. "Let me show you something…" The next thing the girl knew, she was being dragged off. In the distance, it looked like a mirror. However, when they got nearer it indeed was a giant mirror except its sides were decorated with the moon and stars. The sun was on the top of the frame glowing magnificently. "What is this?" she wondered. "This is a celestial mirror. It shows many things…past, present and future." Her mother replied. "Only the celestial princess is allowed to use it." She continued. "Celestial Princess...WHO?…ME?" The blonde mage pointed at herself with her mouth wide open. Her mother nodded at the statement.
"I'm sorry, I never told you. Our family consists of many powerful mages. An oracle said that one day, a girl will be born and she would carry the title of celestial princess. I never knew that it would be you. At that time, when you were still in me, the oracle came to me in a dream and warned me that you will face many dangers if we stayed. She told me with that wise tone of hers that you were the one destined to be the Celestial Princess. For the first time, I felt fear. I realized that we had to get you away from that place so we left. Somewhere very, very far away. Somewhere nobody would recognize us. To blend in with everyone else, your dad and I had to adapt. He began working as a businessman while I rest at home. Everything we had was because of his hard work…He loves you very much. Don't get angry at him for always being strict, alright?"
"Okay." Was all she could reply. She loved her dad but his change after her mom died had always frightened her. She had already forgiven him but remembering all that he did to her friends made her more frightened than ever.
"Let me continue, alright?" her mom said. She nodded, wanting to know more about her parents and most importantly about herself. "Well, we managed to keep our identities a secret for a long time. I had wanted to tell you about yourself when you grew up but my sickness overcame me. Your father wanted to protect you so he never mentioned anything even up till now. However, you have the right to know." She paused awhile and looked at the blonde mage. "You see, a celestial princess is born every 500 years. Being one takes a lot of responsibility. You have to have courage and be pure of heart. Something that you have displayed so many times, my child. When you went to Fairy Tail. I was happy for you. Finding friends who would care and protect you. However, they might get involved in the coming events to follow."
"What's going to happen? My friends won't get hurt, will they? I don't want that." Lucy said, her palms turning sweaty at the thought. If they get hurt, she would never forgive herself. They were everything to her. Family. They were the one who took her in when she lost everything she loved years ago. Even her father had passed away recently and she was not even able to see him. Being trapped in Tenrou Island…those 7 years that passed. Gone.
"I cannot say. For I do not hold your future. The future can change in the blink of an eye. One cannot foretell it so easily." She turned her head to the right and her gaze slid to her feet. "I have to go. Remember…always be careful. When you see the moon eating the sun, don't be alone. They are coming for you, dear. I want to stay with you longer but this is where we part ways." She began fading into mist.
"Wait…I still have a lot of questions…what do I have to do when the time comes?" Lucy said grasping nothing. Don't worry just be who you are. The wind carrying the voice until all was silent.
Lucy jolted awake screaming. Her hair in a tangled mess, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. She was breathing in and out, trying to calm herself. She felt heat radiating from her right. She turned her attention to the now awake dragonslayer, rubbing his eyes.
"Geez…Luce…What the he—..." Natsu started but was surprised by his teammate hugging him. Tears were running down her angelic face. He became flushed and did not know how to react. In the end, he returned the hug and nuzzled his face in her neck. She continued sobbing, glad of his heat. It was comforting. With that she began to fall asleep again forgetting about her fears, lying there in Natsu's arms.
Well, what do you all think? Please tell me honestly. I welcome your opinions and suggestions to make it better. Please read and review. Thanks! :
