I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL, ENJOY MY STORY!
000000000
Lucy has a secret, a bone crushingly large secret that has almost cost her life in some situations. A secret that is not only emotionally painful for her to bear, but also is dangerous towards her and her friends if anyone found out the truth.
The truth is that on July 7, X777, Lucy not only lost her mother but she also lost someone else who was incredibly important to her, someone only her mother knew, Lucy had lost her dragon.
Because, Lucy Heartfillia is secretly a Dragon Slayer.
But no one can know, her father didn't even know. Her dragon was kept a secret by her mother who supervised her training as well as trained her herself.
Lucy is a Diamond dragon slayer and her dragon was named Callinia the diamond dragon.
When she lost her dragon, whatever had been left of her heart after her mother died, left too; Callinia was like a second mother to Lucy and the dragon cared for Lucy as only a mother would. Losing her plus her mother, combined with how badly her father treated her, Lucy was a broken child.
And for six years she stayed that way until she had finally had enough.
She was practically placed on sale as a bride for the highest bidder, until she ran away, ran away to hopefully Fairy Tail.
It was a year before she actually was able to get there though, but when she did she made a completely new family and even found love (not that she would ever actually tell Natsu, he had Lisanna didn't he?) in her new home.
Her heart still ached for her dragon and mother, and she still had nightmares of losing the two all over again, but her mother had said not to ever tell anyone.
She said this because Lucy was born with two types of magic in her, her dragon slayer magic and her celestial magic; thus making her practically a fountain of rare magic that anyone could take advantage of. And so she complied and kept her mouth closed about her past.
She also hated to even think about those days, it hurt her heart far too much to remember what she had lost.
She had tried so hard to keep her powers and her strength hidden; only allowed to strengthen her Celestial Magic. This had caused many difficulties in the past. However her spirits do know about her hidden magic, but are sworn to keep it just that, hidden.
During battles she would have to conceal what she could do, because now not only was she sworn to keep her mouth shut, she was afraid to tell anyone in the guild seeing how they already had three dragon slayers and her just popping up saying she was one too, her being one of the "weakest" members of the guild.
In truth she was not stronger than Natsu or Gajeel, but she was strong, much stronger than she looks.
While fighting, she would often get distracted trying to control her temper and her power, and get more injured than she should have, but she just took the pain letting her lie look that more realistic.
However, guilt often eats at her insides because while she sits there, Natsu is placing his life on the line to save her, and maybe that's one more reason why she loves him.
But even though guilt eats at her stomach and her powers attempt to claw out of her, she hides it, feigns what she must.
She even had to pretend that Natsu being raised by a dragon wasn't a shock to her, when she had first met the fire using mage and heard his story; she had to contain her excitement and not jump over the small table to claw onto his scarf and see if he had any clue where her dragon was.
It hurt her in so many ways to hide in this shell, be looked upon as weak by the rest of the world, to have to endure pain when she could have easily protected herself, and to see Natsu just protect her when she "couldn't" but she had to, she was still a celestial mage so she had to keep the promise she had sworn to her mother, had she would as long as possible.
If only "as long as possible" lasted longer.
