Prologue: Her Downfall
"Anything can change."
Just when did they knew
that I'm far beyond broken.
I don't know what they want
for they all want me to join them.
Just
leave me
alone.
Alone here
inside this cursed fate of mine.
Now just go away.
Shut up and make it disappear!
"Mommy! Mommy!"
The sound of nimble steps can be heard throughout the blinding hall of the Heartfilia mansion. A little kid at her 6's was being seen running fast, excitement is being visible on her little face. Her ruffled pink dress swaying with the wind as she ran through the halls. She then reached the mansion's garden and saw the one she's finding. The lady is in her 30's and she has similar features like her daughter. Her blonde hair that seemed to be illuminated by the bright sunshine and made her look like and angel. Her chocolate brown eyes that seemed irresistible to look at and can make your soul be stunned at its magnificence. Her heart-shaped face that seemed to be molded by God with pure perfection and wish her stunning features made her stand out of all, similar with her adorable daughter.
"Lucy, I told you to stop running, you might hurt yourself."
She said with her voice soft as silk and like the siren of the birds up in the sky. Lucy suddenly pouted at her with her arms crossed, her face looking like a steamed bun because of its white complexion and not-too-chubby face. The lady only chuckled at her daughter's actions and leveled to Lucy's short height, with her face smiling perfectly like a crescent moon and eyes twinkling like the night sky.
"But mom! I need to tell you something, okay?"
That's the cue for Lucy's mother to nod and listen intently at her daughter. And Lucy suddenly backed and released a key for her pocket. It's a golden key that's owned be her mother. Lucy pointed it upwards and a golden ring of magic appeared at top of the key. The lady's eyes widened upon the ability of her own child, inheriting her own magic.
"Gate of the Crab, I open thee. Cancer!"
Lucy chanted as a golden light appeared at her and her mother's sight. The light vanished and a crab-like spirit appeared. His hair is black and braided in red cornrows that resembles crab pincers. He had blue striped shirt and dark trousers and a pair of boots. He has six crab legs on his back with his common black sunglasses with him on his eyes. He also has a pair of scissors on his hand that seemed to be ready to cut anything.
"What can I do for you, ebi?"
Cancer said while snipping his scissors as Lucy's mother sweatdropped at his 'actions' and 'gestures'. Lucy chuckled while holding Cancer's golden key and keep twirling it by her right hand. Until suddenly, Lucy's grip on the key loosened as it flew through the bushes of the garden, making Lucy sigh and run to the bushes to find Cancer's key, with the said spirit suddenly disappear and return to the spirit world.
"Lady Layla, Master Jude wants to see you. Oh, Lucy, what are you doing there?"
A short maid said while looking at Lucy, with the said girl rummaging through the thick bushes of blueberry plant. The maid is Spetto and she has black eyes. Her long, purple hair is pinned to a simple bun that seemed to get along with her aged face. Layla, Lucy's mother, smiled at the maid as the former went back inside to see her husband, Jude Heartfilia.
"Mom, I found the k-...oh..."
Lucy was interrupted as she thought she saw a dashing shadow. Her hand tried to reach the shadow as it dashed away. Lucy's eyes narrowed to the huge trees as she went that way, without any companion. That was until she saw someone's shadow behind a tree. She tried to call it as her chocolate brown eyes widen upon seeing a...dead body. Her body trembled and tried to stop puking her breakfast.
"A kid...how lucky..."
Lucy looked at a branch of the tree and saw a human looking at her with its menacing reddish-orange eyes that seemed to be staring through her soul, making the child shiver in fear and finally...a surge inside her to shout came and did what she's going to do. A shrill of a loud but tiny voice was heard as Layla's mother instincts made her run to her daughter. 'I hope that Lucy is...'
"LUCY! WHERE ARE YOU?"
And finally, she saw her daughter behind the bushes of the blueberry plant, shivering in fear and holding her mouth with her both hands. A wave of maternal instincts made her run to her daughter, being ready for anything to happen. And it happened...
That shadow man dashed to her with inhuman speed that made her look at him with caution. She tightened her grip on the golden key of Cancer and tried to summon it but due to over exhaustion, not even a speck of golden light appeared. The man chuckled grimly and used his right hand to grip Lucy's neck but failed however, due to the fast reaction time of this child. The man grunted and did another attempt to hurt Lucy at least once but still failed.
"Your actions are now in vain..."
The man's aura turned to grim grey from his usual light grey. Lucy shivered in fear because of the intensity of the power of this stupid man in front of her, making her tears started to fall from her chocolate brown eyes. She tried to cover her eyes until she him sped away and throw a wave of dark grey wave of dark magic. And then it happened...
She heard a loud sound of a shattering glass but didn't know where that came from. All she could do is to look everywhere but all Lucy can see is pitch black. Like those ones from the movies, when the protagonist is sticker inside an endless loop of darkness with no one to be with. She felt...uncomfortable and tensed-that something might happen but still...she can't open her eyes.
"L-Lucy...live..."
That familiar voice made Lucy feel that there's hope. Even though she's just a mere, little pipsqueak, she's quite an extraordinary one. She has the brains that only a normal 17 years old teenager can have. She has this kind of style for herself that she normally called as "Spirit". She can hear spiritual voices around her that made her a little much paranoid.
"M-Mom...? Are you there? Tell me...where are you...? Are you okay?"
That all Lucy can say as she's completely eaten by the dark abyss, making her consciousness be slowly removed from her body. Her gaze turned to the sky...
All Lucy can see is the sky with its constellations as she herself being tired and rest invade her mind. That summoning really took a toll from her magic power. She could only hear a shriek form her mother as she felt her consciousness leave her. She now see the dark sky above her...but it has no star. How unfortunate...
All it takes everything
for me to do this.
Perhaps they just want my power.
This power-
-no, a curse,
is the thing
that I dreadfully hate.
Hate-
-no, despise, is the only feeling
that made me survive these years.
Perhaps that what made me like this-
-just shut up and make it disappear.
"Now back off..."
A male with brown eyes shivered upon hearing the menacing voice of a certain girl he just hit on. She had a pair of lifeless chocolate brown eyes that made her lovely form be negatively scary. Her long dirty blonde hair now up to her chin, making her look more intimidating. Wearing a black and navy blue, high-collared halter top, a black corset with two pairs of white laces and black shorts. She has two pink straps intersecting over her chest. On Lucy's arms are white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves. She also wears a small, segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms. She wears black stockings reaching about halfway up her thighs, leaving a small area of bare skin. There are two strips of blue cloth draped over each of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist and draped in the same manner. Her silver boots are pointed and armored, with a sharp "hook" on the outer side of each. She looks intimidating and cool but her somewhat scary aura contrasts it.
"Y-yes! I will! Just please...spare me!"
The man said while bowing at her and running away while screaming in fear. The girl cannot avoid it since she's beautiful although she has her killing aura within her. She's been like that...11 years ago(2) since the death of her beloved, sweet mother, Layla. Yes...this scary girl is named Lucy Heartfilia and she's now changed...ready to take her wanted revenge upon the one who killed her mother. And no one's going to stop her...
