Chapter 2

- Bisca, Bisca, are you at home? - Lucy, panting, burst into the house.

- Yes, I'm at home, don't yell like that! - From the kitchen came a young woman with braided green hair. - I already know the good news! - she said with a smile. - I got a call from the bank, our credit for the house is paid! Please thank your master from us. - She went to Lucy and hugged her.

Lucy, who at first frozen in place, returned the hug.

- You're so great, Lucy! During the first day you've already become the honey. Your master seems very kind and nice.

- Yes, veeerry kind and nice, - Lucy tried to smile. Now Dragneel hasn't exactly left her choice. Alzack and Bisca were distant relatives of her mother. They let Lucy to their house when she had no where to go. Konnells were an average family but recently they're having some financial problems. After all, they had a little daughter, Asuka, who entered the school this year, and also Lucy who appeared from nowhere. Lucy even got a job as a waitress to somehow help them. With them, she felt as happy as with real family. So for them she is even ready to be Dragneel's slave.

- You should invite him to us one time - Bisk finally released blonde girl from the embrace. - Well, I'll call Alzaku to tell him good news and buy a cake for our Lucy.

- Well, you do not need to, - protested Lucy - I should go to work soon, but I'll go and chat with Asuka first.

- Oh, Lucy, you are wearing yourself down! The study, the work and now you're also a honey, - with a worried look Bisca said. - Maybe you may not have to work anymore, because I've heard that the work of a honey, in fact, is also paid.

- Well, I still do not know all the details, but the extra money will be useful anyway. Is Asuka in her room? – She tried to change the subject, and, receiving a nod in response, she ran up the stairs.

As soon as she went upstairs, a little dark-haired tornado flew at her, nearly knocking down.

- Hey, sunny - Lucy kissed the little girl in the forehead.

- Hey, Lucy, how was your day? Have you a lot of new friends? - Asuka asked and responded at once: - I have already three!

'' Unfortunately, at sixteen is not so easy to make friends, as at the six'' - she thought and said: - So you beat me! I only have one. – A little girl doesn't need to know that he is actually her master. But if she thinks about it, he was the only one student with whom she was talking today. Is it worth to hope that in her class would be any normal student?

- Asuka, do you need a help with your homework?

- No, I'll do everything myself and I will be as smart as Lucy! - Proudly declared a kid.

- You're such a nice girl, - it seems like it was the first time today that Lucy smiled happily. - I have to prepare for work. See you in the evening.

- Are you leaving now? - Asuka became upset.

- Well, don't be sad, - she patted the girl on the head and whispered to her: - Do you want to know a secret? I heard that today we will have a cake.

- Is it true? - Asuka jumped excitedly. - I'll wait for you, and we'll eat it together!

- Of course! Well, now I need to go - she kissed her on the cheek and went to her room to change clothes.


- Lucy, there is the new client at the sixth table! - Blonde girl was called by one of the waitresses.

- Coming! - Taking a notebook, Lucy went to the sixth table. A guy around her age sat there. He had blond hair, sharp features and a scar over his right eye, he was wearing fashionable clothes, and he was holding the newest model of cell phone. His face seemed very familiar to her. Is he from her school?

- Good evening, are you ready to order? - asked Lucy with a polite smile.

- A cup of espresso, please - with the same sweet smile he answered her.

- That's all?

- Yes, I'm not hungry, I just was very curious to look at the girl who slapped Natsu Dragneeel. Unfortunately, I missed that historic scene. - Lucy immediately blushed. - Well, do not be shy. You are famous in a school now. You're Lucy, right? And my name is Sting Eucliffe. We study at the same class. - The guy said with calm and polite voice, charming Lucy at once.

- Nice to meet you! - She replied. - But I need to work and bring your coffee.

- Come on, couldn't you take a break for a few minutes? I would like to have a chat with you. You do not look like the other students in our school.

While her brain was still analyzing whether or not to trust this stranger, she had blurted out:

- My shift ends in twenty minutes, if you want, you can wait for me. - Somehow he seemed very nice.

- With pleasure!


- I'm done, - Lucy went back to Sting. At first she did not believe that he will wait for her, but at the expiration of twenty minutes he was still sitting at the table.

- Ok, - smiled Eucliffe. - Now you're my guest. Would you like to order something?

- No, thanks, - smiled shyly Lucy. And why today in the school she ran into Dragneel and not into Sting?

- What is this? - He asked sharply, holding out his hand to her ear where the earring was. For a moment it even seemed to her that an angry grimace appeared on his face, but no, there was still a nice smile.

- Well, it seems, from today, I'm Dragneel's honey, - said Lucy.

- The poor girl fell into the clutches of Dragneel on the first day, - the guy shook his head with concern. – Has he offended you somehow? You can tell me the truth.

- No, everything is ok. – She wasn't going to tell him about the locker room. - Can you tell me what honey should do? I don't know all the details.

- Well, it's very simple. You must fulfill all the orders of the master.

- And what could be the orders? - Asked Lucy.

- Officially honey must help master in learning and to make sure that the master did not skip classes. A master must pay the expenses of honey. But some just do all the masters home tasks from school. Some help the master out of school, and complete various duties, such as when the master needs to buy something he can send a honey to a shop. There are some masters and honeys that stayed together for years and you can even say they've become friends - told Sting, and Lucy thought that everything does not sound too bad. - But Dragneel uses honey of boredom. He always chooses the pretty girls, and just playing with them. - From that statement Lucy's heart skipped a beat. Apparently, what happened in the locker room was just the beginning.

- How long did previous honey last? – With a trembling voice she asked.

- Maximum -a week, - simply said Eucliffe. Lucy's eyes filled with tears.

- Don't be upset, Lucy. Ask me for help if needed, - tried to cheer her Sting.

- Thank you, you're very kind. I probably should go home. See you tomorrow, - she wanted to get away to let the tears out.

- See you, Lucy!

She had already walked to the door, when she remembered something:

- Sting, and do you have a honey?

- No, I haven't found the right one, - again, he smiled sweetly.

- Ok. Then bye! - Waved to him Lucy.

- Bye! - He waved back. Meanwhile, in his mind was: ''I'll have my revenge, Lucy Connell, for the humiliation of my friend Natsu!''
