Hey guys! I figured that if I just say the name of the song or whatever in whatever chapter, and tell you all to check it out, then maybe these people will leave me alone.
This is the reloaded version of Fire and Ice, so I hope it doesn't get deleted. I was lucky when I found this thing, so thank my lucky little stars. SAY THANK YOU TO SAGITTARIUS! *salutes to the sky* Hello! Hello!
Chapter one: The Embers and Snow
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima owns it and Natsu the hunk!
Lucy's POV
Okay so after we returned from the S-Class mission to Galuna Island that we weren't even supposed to take, Master punished all of us-mildly including Erza for not bringing us back quicker-the boys had good sized knots on their heads, Erza was banned from having her cake for two weeks, and I got a slap on my behind. That was before Mirajane got angry and told Master to stop being childish.
I had asked Master if there was something I could do to earn money, because of my rent, and he did say there was something I could do. And now here I am taking orders and serving alcohol to the guild members to pay for rent. Well at least Mira's here, so I won't be too terribly bored.
" Hey Lucy why are you doing this any way?" Macao asked me.
" Because Natsu took and went on a S-Class mission before he was cleared for it, and Gray and I got in trouble too, considering we weren't S-Class either." I replied while handing him a mug of beer that he gladly accepted.
" But how does that involve you?" He questioned. " I'm on Team Natsu." I said back, and that ended the conversation.
" Wow way to take 'em by the reigns Lucy! You're gonna fit in just fine." Cana shouted, who was-not surprisingly-drinking her alcohol. I sweatdropped. Isn't it too early in the morning for her to be drunk?
" Why did that moron have to take the stupid request?!" I whisper yell to myself in anger. Technically it was Laxus' fault for provoking Natsu but it was Natsu's fault for stealing the mission.
" Well you did agree to come along.." Happy trailed off after coming out of nowhere. Where the hell did he come from?!
" Zip it Alley-Cat, or I'll have Cancer turn you into a pair of mittens!" I snapped. " Wah! Natsu, Lushy is going to eat me!" He cried when Natsu walked over to the bar. The dragon-slayer raised an eyebrow.
" Happy, Luce may eat a lot, but I don't think blue cat is on her list." A few tick marks made themselves evident on my forehead. " What's that supposed to mean, pyro? Are you calling me fat?" I was ready to kick him into next week.
I glared at Natsu over the bar when the build doors opened and Team Shadow Gear walked in, Levy had some stuff in her hands while Jet and Droy were arguing over her head about who liked her the most. Those two morons fight over everything.
" Hey, Lucy! You have some mail!" Levy said as she reached us. I thanked her, and took the short stack of envelops. Let's see... Bill, bill, water bill, my new issue of Sorcerer's Weekly...Hmm? What's this?
I turned the envelop over, and when I saw the seal I swear I nearly fainted.
" What's wrong Lucy?! Why do you look pale all of the sudden? Did you eat a bad fish?" Happy asked as Erza-who walked over having heard the commotion-checked my temperature. I don't want to let them know about this... Crap what do I do?!
" Uh it's nothing." I said as I plastered a fake smile on my face. Hopefully they buy it. I'm sure that everyone is suspicious of something, but I'm worried that they'll try to intervene.
I may have fooled everyone else but Natsu is smarter than he looks; I know color me shocked.
" I think I'm going to go home today, I didn't get much sleep last night, you know, writing and all that. Catch you guys tomorrow!" I called and sort of sprinted out the doors. I needed to get home fast.
Erza's POV
" I think I'm going to go home today, I didn't get much sleep last night, you know, writing and all that. Catch you guys tomorrow!" Lucy said as she walked out of the guild doors. That was odd. Lucy has never left the guild so early in the day, and she didn't have a temperature. I can't help but wonder what could be wrong.
" Well that wasn't like her..." Gray said as I looked at the letter that she had left on the table.
" Listen up, I have a bad feeling about this letter and Lucy's reaction." I said as I ripped it open and begun to read it aloud.
' Hello, my dear Lucy
Well, it seems that I found you. You've been gone for three months, how is living with savages? Oh and I suppose you never were planning on telling your new friends what your last name was, were you?
It's your best interest to keep on guard, I have paid the Lion's Den guild to bring you home. Understand that if you don't come home willingly they will destroy the Fairy Tail guild, should you disobey.
And don't even think about using you're pathetic magic because it's useless.
Goodbye for now but remember, I'm ALWAYS watching you.
Love your father,
Jude Heartfillia'
What more could Jude Heartfilia want with Lucy? I am sure that Lucy cut ties with her father, even going as far as renouncing her name. And he sent the Lion's Den guild after us for what purpose? To attempt at getting her again? I was frightened, and Natsu was furious. Levy was shocked, Gray still had his clothes on, and Cana spit her alcohol out in a long stream, leaving Wakaba soaked.
Just then Loke decided to come bursting in the guild his suit flapping precariously, and he was alarmed. " We've got trouble! Lucy's been attacked!" He yelled as we all ran for Lucy's apartment, Natsu, Gray, Levy and Happy behind me.
Oh I hope we're not too late.
