A heavy sigh was released and the girl looked at her feet. She swung them steadily and kept still on her bed, debating on whether or not she should go out. Her soft blonde hair cascaded down below her shoulder whilst her deep brown eyes shone in the dark. Light reflected on her porcelain skin and a wide smile stretched on her lips.
"Alright! I'm going to visit the village today," she finally decided and her smile grew wider, and brighter. She pushed herself off the bed and landed on the floor with a soft thud. She snapped her fingers and the blankets of her bed floated up, along with her pillows and other scattered messes on the bed. The blankets folded themselves and the pillows gently dropped on the bed neatly, with the blankets on top. A few notebooks and pens went straight to her drawer and the blonde stretched her arms.
She walked bare-footed towards her closet and opened it. She hummed and pursed her lips, deep in thought. She cupped her chin by her index finger and thumb, while her other hand went under her elbow.
"What to wear… what to wear?" she asked herself and the clothes automatically swished to the side to feature each and every dress and clothing there is.
The blonde's eyes widened and she gasped, and the clothes stopped moving to show one, pretty dress. It was a simple one, not too fancy nor too dull looking. It was a cream yellow piece. It had loose sleeves reaching her wrists with a white ribbon around the waist part. The dress reached her ankles but it was quite easy to move despite this.
Before wearing it, the blonde grabbed loose brown pants reaching just below her knees, and wore it. The pants had garters just around the edges, and made it look a little puffy. Then she strapped on a belt with a few hooks here and there, and locked in a sheath for a sword. She also strapped on a dagger holder around her right leg, and buckled it tight, for there was a dagger inside. Then she wore a white tube and finally wore the dress.
Breathing in, she smiled brightly, "Okay, it's time to go!"
She grabbed a brown shoulder bag and stuffed in a brown vest, water, money, and some fruits. Then she grabbed a bow and a sheath of arrows, and strapped it to her back. The blonde grabbed a pair of brown round-toed flats and slowly stepped into them. Then she left.
The blonde closed the door shut and frowned a little. She sniffed and suddenly squinted her eyes. There was a distinctly familiar scent in the air.
"Blood… and smoke," she muttered.
She stood still and listened. Hearing none, her ears perked and she ran. Her hair blew against her face as she ran very quickly, dodging branches and jumping over roots and stones. Ruffled, crushed leaves and thuds were heard as she ran, her light feet quickly making no noise except for the leaves she stepped on occasionally.
As she drew near the village, the smell of blood and smoke got stronger. She finally reached a clearing and shoved the branches that blocked her view away. Her eyes widened and her heart was filled with both anger and grief, making her grip the branch tighter.
"What in the world…?!" she voicelessly said and ran once again. Her feet slid down as she clenched her jaw. The village was nearly destroyed; smokes rising up everywhere, houses were torn down, and the smell of blood was in the air.
The blonde fastened her pace and jumped high over the fence from the hill and the village. She landed on the ground with a thud and pushed herself once again to run to the entrance of the village. She stopped running and looked around, her eyes wide in fear.
"M-Milady," someone shakily said.
The blonde's ears perked and she turned her head to the side to see an old woman lying on the ground just a few feet away from her. She quickly ran to the old lady and crouched beside her. The blonde pulled the gray-haired woman up and leaned her on the wall.
"Mae-san! What happened here?" the blonde asked as she looked around. People were dragging their own bodies to their houses, crawling and limping. The dead were lined up as if for sale. The whole village was in shambles. Anger filled her whole body as her hair slowly rose from her shoulders.
The old lady, Mae, noticed this and quickly (as well as shakily) placed a hand on the blonde's shoulders.
"Lucy-sama, please calm down," Mae said and her eyes saddened.
The blonde snapped out of it and looked at the old woman. Lucy gritted her teeth as her eyes narrowed dangerously, "Tell me, who did this?"
Mae looked at Lucy sadly and hesitated at first. She let out a sigh and looked up at the sky.
"D-Dark fairies attacked around d-dawn. Men and women who knew how to fight fought against them… but there were just too many," she cried a little and closed her eyes in pain, "My husband, son, and my niece died in the fight as well. Only a few survived, for the Fullbusters pulled them back," Mae said and cried harder.
Lucy's eyes widened and she growled. "Where did the dark fairies retreat to? Where did they go?" she asked and looked around for anything, something – at least a clue to where the evil creatures went.
Mae's eyes widened and she clutched onto Lucy's dress. "N-No! You mustn't chase after them! They are too dangerous and too strong! I've lost my family already; I can't lose you as well… You who I treat as a daughter!" she cried and her legs shook.
Lucy looked at Mae sadly and sighed. "I'm sorry Mae-san… but I have to go. I promise I'll come back. I'll send back a Mariposa to tell you when I'm safe, okay? Now tell me which way they went," she said and smiled reassuringly. Mae looked up at her in fear and bit her lip.
"They went that way, into the Meylin Forest."
Lucy immediately stood up and ran towards the direction of the forest, opposite to the village. Mae yelled the blonde's name but she didn't hear it. Anger filled her whole body, up to the very core. She gritted her teeth and stopped running just before she entered the forest. She took of her dress, shoved it in her bag, and wore the brown vest she had taken with her before going out.
"Now I can run properly and more freely," Lucy said and smirked a little, "Dark fairies… here I come," she said and ran quickly into Meylin Forest.
ooooOoooo
A fairy giggled mockingly, whilst her wings kept her floating just over the ground. She had silver white hair reaching just below her shoulders and her eyes were blue. A white pointy tail swished behind her as she kept flying, a hum escaping her lips every now and then.
"Lord Gray will be satisfied~ People of the Magnolia village were slayed~ Lady Ul and Lady Ultear will give us meat for slaying them~ Lord Lyon will praise us~ Oh what a wonderful thing we had done~" the girl sang and giggled wickedly.
Another girl with dark gray wings that looked similar to her – except with long white hair – smiled in amusement. "Oh Lisanna, you know they are always pleased with what we do," the other dark fairy said and grinned evilly.
The short-haired girl named Lisanna shrugged and let her tail wrap around her right leg. "But Mira-nee, Lord Gray requested this! He hardly requests anything!" she chimed and clapped her hands in excitement, "What if he promotes me? Kyaa! That would be the best killing gift ever!" Lisanna squealed and the long-haired girl, or Mira, rolled her eyes and smiled.
Lucy, safely hidden behind a huge tree, gritted her teeth in anger upon hearing this.
So it's the Fullbusters again? Why Magnolia? Damn it! I hate them! Lucy thought and slowly reached from behind to grab her bow and an arrow. She gently put it in place and pointed it at some random fairy. She waited for a moment, her other eye closed as she waited for a moment to strike.
She pulled the string harder and when the dark fairy stopped moving, she let go and it hit the fairy in the head.
"Ahh!" the dark fairy squirmed in the air and went crazy before its wings fluttered and stopped repeatedly. Her eyes rolled up and her wings stopped flapping as she fell on the ground. All the other fairies went berserk, searching for the shooter who had taken the fairy's life.
Lucy quickly reached for another arrow and hit another fairy in the head. It screamed and landed on the ground with a loud thud. Now Lucy stayed still, not wanting to be caught. She was sure they watched where the arrow came from.
"Mira-nee, it came from over there," Lisanna whispered in a low, dangerous tone and Mira growled.
"I know," her sister replied.
"Shit," Lucy cursed and grabbed an arrow, and shot someone while she showed herself. Screeches were heard as she attacked. She finally stopped using her arrow and pulled forth her sword. She ran and quickly slashed a fairy across her chest.
"Gaaaah!" it screeched and shook violently as she slithered across the ground before she completely died.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Lisanna yelled and her fangs grew. She quickly grabbed a few sharp metal shards from a pouch on her belt and aimed to attack Lucy.
Lucy whistled at the sight of Lisanna's fangs and shrugged smugly. "I don't know, who do you think I am?" the blonde slyly grinned and Lisanna growled angrily.
"No matter, attack!" she yelled and quickly threw the metal shards at Lucy.
The blonde's eyes widened and she jumped out of the way. She ran forward and stabbed a fairy in its belly. She ducked from a spear being thrown at her and grabbed her dagger as well. She sliced off a fairy's head and stabbed another in its chest.
The skirmish continued until the battlefield was left with only Lisanna, Mira and Lucy standing. The three stared in deadly silence for a moment, then as quick as a flash of lightning, Lucy jumped behind Lisanna and grabbed her by the neck, away from her sister.
Dagger in Lisanna's throat, Lucy smiled at Mira who growled at her.
"Let my sister go," Mira dangerously hissed, her eyes narrowing further into slits as she glared at the blonde. Lucy didn't waver and stared back at Mira coldly.
"You destroyed my village. Isn't it just as fair if I kill you all?" Lucy said and tightened her hold on Lisanna who squirmed. The white-haired fairy gasped for air and Mira's eyes narrowed further.
"Let. Her. Go," Mira said and slowly, lightning cackled around her fingers in anger. Lucy took a quick look at the dark fairy's threat and just growled lowly.
"Show me the way to the Fullbusters and I'll let your precious sister go," Lucy said and smiled cruelly, "And don't worry, I won't kill him. I'm just going to observe, that's all…"
Mira glared at her long and hard before she sighed in defeat, "Fine. First, let Lisanna go."
"Show me the way first. Then, I let her go," Lucy bargained and Mira agreed bitterly.
Her master would surely torture her for showing such weakness in front of the enemy. Dark fairies as her were supposed to be strong. They have endured being expelled from their home and being forgotten by their very own family, and friends.
Mira flew ahead of Lucy, who was now holding Lisanna captive, and led the way to the secret lair of the Fullbusters, the evil mages who had terrorized the country.
Just you wait, Fullbusters, she thought, I'll pay you back hundred folds for what you did to the village.
