I do not own fairytail.
She looked down at the blank page with a focused face, 'what should I write?' The 19 year old glanced up at the morning sunrise, while throwing her golden locks in a bun, admiring the soft streaks of soft pink, blue, orange, purple and red, this sunrise reminded her of that one day that changed her life, Forever.
~Time Rewind~ (When she was six)
"Lucy"
"…"
"Lu-chan!"
"…"
"LUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCYYYY"
"What?" The bored six years old looked up at her maid as she boldly asked what the old woman wanted.
"What's the matter? It's your birthday today Lu-Chan! Go have fun with Michelle! I heard she misses her nee-san!" The woman stated warmly as she looked over at the small girl who was twiddling her thumbs.
"I know, Michelle needs to wait until- until daddy says happy birthday to me!" She whined whilst she slowly looked over to the clock hand. "It's almost 10:30am and dad hasn't come down from his study!" She folded her arms out on the table and plopped her small head between them. "What is he doing up there! It's my birthday!" She mumbled under her arm with a sad voice.
"Well why don't you help me out with lunch Lu-can? I'm making some rice balls, it'll be fun!" She tempted the little girl; 'maybe Julia is right?' the little girl walked over to the kitchen and dragged a tall stool so she could reach the table top.
"Okay!" The little sad girl turned to a little happy creative girl in the matter of seconds. The two sat there for a bit until Lucy showed off her masterpiece.
"Look Juli-nee! I even made a smiley face on it with the sea weed!" She proudly pranced around the room with the hot rice ball on a little platter.
"That looks great! Master Lucy! You are going to be a great chef one day!" This gave Lucy an idea; maybe I can give it to daddy? He'll be proud of me! On my birthday! This made her bolt off, without saying anything to Julia. She ran up the big steps; turn down a hall and up 5 more steps before coming face to face with her dad's study. She had no time to knock, this was too important.
"Good morning daddy! It's me Lucy, I made you something! It's a rice ball with a smiley face on it" She said proudly waiting for her dads praise. His eyes glued to a piece of paper as his eyes darted back at forth.
"Not now Lucy, I'm working, Leave me be." He said with a mono-tone, still darting his eyes along the black and white.
"O-Okay daddy, I'll just put this here, it's not good to eat on an empty belly!" She said before setting the pate down, behind her father's paper.
She gasped from the off guard attack from her father, gripping her wrist tightly. He looked up with evil eyes, and a matching evil aura; looking right through her. She jumped when he stuck his hand in the boiling rice and, without looking away from her frightened eyes, proceeded to smear the rice down her face. The rice boiled her skin at contact, and she wailed. Pulling away from her father's grasp, the pain was immense; throwing her off balance. She hit the floor with a thud, and an ugly scar was going to be left on her face. She backed away slowly, still on the ground. She could barely see in her right eye, Just blood and darkness.
"LUCY, I THOUGHT I MADE MYSELF CLEAR? DID I NOT? GET OUT!" He said while he returned to sitting form and continued to read the paper. Lucy looked down at the floor, her blond bangs covering her burnt face, she winced in pain as a salty tear fell from her right eye, slowly crawling down the raw flesh on the right cheek. She got up and dusted herself off.
"Goodbye Jude" She ran out of his father's study and straight to her bedroom. She scanned her closet for something non-fancy, She found some old clothes she would wear when her mom and her went camping, they still went even when her fathe- Jude warned them not to. Denim shorts with a black T-Shirt. She dragged a chair over to grab a small back pack from the top of her closet. She hopped down and stuffed two pairs of undergarments and a navy blue tank top. She then scrambled around her room for a toothbrush, hairbrush, toothpaste, hair elastics, and a water bottle. After that she ran over to her N-Table (Nightstand) and pulled the drawers open and pulled out a small turquoise wallet, with golden embroidery.
"I might as well bring this; I am running away after all…. I'll need some Jewel" She mumbled to herself. This was a magic item that her mother bought her in Edolas. Its purpose is that you could put as much Jewel as you want in it, and it would never fill up, hence the name "never-ending wallet". Another bonus to this contraption is only the owner can see it. Since her mother bought her this wallet, Lucy is the only being in this Cosmos that could see it.
"Now for the hard part" She clenched her fists and looked up, with determination in her eye. She slowly opened her chamber doors, to make sure nobody was coming. 'No one would, all the other maids are getting groceries Julia is the only one here. My best friend is the only one in the way of my freedom.' The little girl ran across the hallway to the bathroom with medical supplies. She went to the bath and ripped of a corner of the towel and put in between her teeth as she opened up the rubbing alcohol and she then doused her face with it. She screamed, but most of her sound waves were being muffled with the cloth in her mouth. She curled up into a ball and started to cry into the towel. She then looked at the bottles and one said burn healing, time until fully healed: 3 days. She generously poured some of the purple ointment onto her tear drenched towel and pat it softly onto her cheek, and eye. It felt so good, with a cooling after affect which didn't go away made her day feel so much better. She then wrapped the right side of her head with gauze, taped it and smiled in the mirror before leaving the bathroom.
She slunk down the hallway, cautiously looking around the corner before walking. She finally made it to her dad's chambers. She opened the door a crack to see if anyone was in there, she relaxed when she saw no movement. She slowly opened the door and jumped in, just in case Julie saw her going into her father's chambers, closing the doors once she got inside.
"Okay, now where is it?" She spoke as if she had a companion on this heist, well sort of, little Michelle will be joining the group! "What do you think?" She whispered softly at the doll, the unexpected happened, the sad face before turned into a smile, and with that a tear fell down her right eye. Lucy smiled before setting her down gently on the sofa chair beside her Father's wardrobe. She walked in dragging a chair behind her. She set the chair down in front of a big, metal safe. She opened up the safe and then started to grab handfuls of gold coins, these were rich coins(1 coin= 50 000 Jewel) by the time she was don the first shelf of the safe she had around 50 000 000 Jewel. She then stepped onto the chair for more leverage to the 2ned and 3red shelf. By the time she was done, she had around 600 000 000-700 000 000 Jewel in the invisible wallet. She stepped down from the chair and admired her work. She left nothing for her father, because he put all his money in that safe, he didn't trust banks.
She walked over to her doll friend and told her goodbyes, for she had to restart life. She then started to tie the sheets of fabric together and poked them out her father's window. 'It's only one floor Lucy, you'll be fine!' She thought to encourage herself. She watched the handmade rope touch the ground gently. One foot, two feet, body out the opened window. She slid down the sheets and made it safely to the ground. 'That was easier than I thought it to be' she mumbled happily to herself. She then went to her mother's gravesite and said her goodbyes.
"Bye mom! It's me Lushy, I'm leaving now, you told me to do what made me happy! So that's what I'm going to do. Don't worry I brought a map with me, I'll be fine! Kay? And it's only two thirty so I won't get lost in the woods.' She smiled and dusted her knees off from the dirt; she then commenced her journey.
"Shoot its almost night time!" The little girl mumbled to herself irritated, and scared. She came across a big hill. It was the twentieth hill she came across, except this one had a different vibe to it. She told herself that she was near clover town, and then there she could take a train to Magnolia. She climbed the hill and thought to herself that she would get food when she got there! It made her so happy, to think of the freedom she had now. She glanced down the hill and she saw her mother.
"M-Mommy?" The little girl was terrified, her mother, who died 5 months ago, was sitting at the bottom of this rocky hill covered in blood. "M-M-MOMMY!" The seven year old ran down the hill, she tripped on a rock and hit the ground with a thud. She felt dark liquids spill from her opened stomach, she ignored the pain and dragged her body over to her mother's corps.
"M-Mommy" She whimpered quietly, lifting her heavy head. Once she looked up she couldn't see anything. It was pitch black, with a few small, white dots.
"Hello little one" A female voice came from the darkness, it sounded so motherly. "I am Stella Luna, the dragon of the Cosmos, The dragon Queen." Lucy gasped at the facts that the darkness was telling her. "I know you can't move right at the moment, the hill you fell down was very steep, you must rest. We will have our conversation when you wake up." Lucy felt the presence of the Dragon disappear. She thought maybe she should look at the seriousness of her wounds, nothing. She had no wounds the puddle of blood around her was gone, her injury was gone, most of her pain was gone. She just thought of her tiredness. She fell into a deep sleep, 'The queen of dragons, hm I wonder what we will talk about… Mommy…'
"Good morning child…" said a sweet voice filling the air with a sense of security. "I hope you feel better, we have tons to talk about." The woman stated, 'I know that voice, Stella?'
"Hello, my name is Lucy Heartfilia, nice to meet you." The little girl sat up, she glanced around the room. She wasn't in darkness anymore, she couldn't see a dragon. She was sitting on top of a bed in a huge room, with a Lacrama vision, living room, bedroom area, bathroom and a mini fridge with some cabinets.
"You already met me, child. My name is Stella, the Dragon Queen." She said in a sweet voice, turning around to look at Lucy, who was just sitting there looking at Stella in shock.
"But how are you a Dragon queen when you're not a dragon yourself! Where am I?" The seven year old remarked.
"It's a power only the royal dragons possess. We can transform to dragon and human as we please, and to answer your second question, you are in my Palace. This is just one room inside of it. That's what we need to talk about." Lucy nodded in response. "Will you become my daughter, and learn to use dragon slayer magic?" 'DRAGON SLAYER MAGIC? THAT'S THE MOST POWERFUL MAGIC OF THEM ALL!' Lucy yelled at herself in her head, she became so happy at the thought.
"YES! Of course I will be your daughter Stella!" The woman she just agreed to had long, platinum blond hair with thin multicolor highlights. This made her look angelic; she was wearing a knee high black dress with a pattern of black feathers at the skirt and scale like fabric at the bodice, with a galaxy pattern. Her eyes were a deep blue, and she had a healthy body-type she looked around 30 years old.
"First I need to know what you think of being the princess of dragons." Lucy nodded, telling her new found mother to continue. "You have to master all dragon magic's, including the human made ones. You will also have a Lacrama inserted in your body. This is a Lacrama only found in a certain planet in a whole other cosmos. There is only one of them, you will have it." Lucy nodded in understanding; she then noticed an outfit set out for her, folded neatly on her dresser. Once she got up, her mother spoke again. Lucy then sat back down on her bed.
"Since I am the dragon of the stars and moon, I have made arrangements with the celestial king to give me all 12 Zodiac keys. Ten of those keys belong to you, the other two I have let the humans have them. But you will have to gather them, indeed it will take long, but your mother believes in you." The white haired woman gave her daughter a smile. "Until then my previous heir told me to give these to you." Lucy was shocked to see the keys, her mothers keys.
"H-How? Those are other m-mommy's keys?" Her mother giggled a bit and her answer astounded the little girl.
"Before your mother became sick, she was also a dragon slayer, my apprentice. Do you know what she died of?" The dragon mother looked softly at Lucy, eyes filled with sadness.
"M-Mommy died of a rare sickness, which blocked blood to get to her organs, allowing her to die slowly." Tear beads started to form at the corners of her eyes. Stella fixed her hair and started to brush her shaky hands through the angelic locks.
"That's not true, Lucy. She, she died because of-" She stopped and turned around to look at lucy, her own tears started to stream down her face, she then sat down beside Lucy and took her into her embrace. "Because of me" She whispered shakily to little Lucy, who tensed up at the confection.
"I-I-I Thought s-she w-w-w-was r-ready," Her mother continued. "Since she was my previous student, she was also chosen to be the dragon princess. Therefore, have the Lacrama inserted into her body. The surgery failed. It was too much magic energy for her to handle, all of her organs just stopped. Her d-death was my fault" Stella broke out into uncontrollable tears, expecting the worst from the little girl, Lucy sat up on her knees, then without letting go, she took her mother's head and glided her little fingers at the back of her hair, and allowing Stella to cry on the little girls shoulder. With the tender reaction of the little girl the silvered haired woman cried even more.
"Hush, there, there, it wasn't your fault. My mother knew what she was getting into. This isn't your fault." The little girl assured the bawling mother she held in her little arms. The woman cried for what it felt like for hours, but Lucy didn't mind. As long she could comfort her Mommy.
"L-Luce, you are a beautiful person do you know that?" Stella raised her head from Lucy's shoulder, she still had some beaded tears at the corner of her eyes, and Lucy wiped them off.
"I won't become you apprentice." Stella's eyes became sad and looked down, her silver bangs covering her eyes." I will become your daughter." Stella's eyes filled with joy, she gave Lucy a really big hug and then kissed her on the cheek.
-Time jump- 10 years later.
"Lucy, you have completed all slayer magic, including the newfound Lacrama insertion, are you ready for your last task, my daughter?" Stella looked at her daughter, who had grown to be a gorgeous young lady.
"Yes Mother, I won't hesitate." Lucy looked a bit scared, 'this was the thing that killed my mom, NO, don't think about that!' Lucy shook her head a bit as she cleared her mind. Her mother then came over and gave her a hug.
"Good luck Lucy, I love you so much and if you… d-d-d-die… in there I don't know what I'd do." Lucy hugged her mother tightly.
"Don't worry mom, I won't die! Matter of fact I'll make dinner tonight!" Lucy pulled back and gave her mother a sad but assuring smile.
Lucy looked back at her mother, who waved at her as the door closed. The last thing Lucy saw was a tear; her mother's tear that just crashed into the ground. Not seeing her mother made Lucy scared, but she then held tightly to the ribbon her mother gave her, it was a special ribbon that would change color.
Stella's POV
Screaming, that's all I heard as I waited in Lucy's bedroom. I sank deep into her pillow, as I lay on her bed. I closed my eyes, hoping it will stop and my daughter will come out fine, with her smile and laughter. I rolled onto my back as I looked up at the ceiling, her pillow still tightly in my embrace.
'Please Lucy, come out alive'
