The moon was whole and shining in the sky, the sky was clear, so very clear that you can see the stars and Lucy loved watching starts, it reminded her of all the stories her mother would tell her. Lucy could feel confusion in her heart for some weird reason, but she just stared at the stars remembering the tales.
"Lucy dear, do you know the tale of the great lion, Leo? Layla said with a sweet smile whilst cuddling little Lucy in her arms.
"No"
"Well, there once was a Leo so brave and charming, who swore to protect each and every star. But when his best friend Aires was being used by a mean lady he had no choice but to make that woman pay,"
"Mama, is this a sad story?"
"No dear"
"Okay continue"
"He had to make that lady realise what she had done was wrong, so the brave Leo paid her a visit and said, If you hurt my friends again I will make sure you will never see them again, she simply agreed and was on her way,"
"So by being brave he helped Aries and they lived happily ever after" little Lucy said while opening her arms so wide and with a smile so wide Layla just stared at her beautiful daughter fall asleep in her arms.
(END)
"LUCY, LUCY ARE YOU UP THERE?" A strange voice called from her window.
'Who's that?' she thought "NATSU"
"SSSSHHHHHH, I don't want to be buried alive" he said waving his arms in the air trying to keep her quite.
"Okay I will be right down" And again she was down the fire escape, Lucy ran to his arms like she hadn't seen him for 5 years, "You came, I thought you would never come again"
"Of cause I would, I could never stay away too long from my woman" Lucy just glared at him and Natsu just shrugged his shoulders and they were off again on the horse. It had gotten to midnight and Lucy and Natsu where just sitting on the hill, Lucy staring at the stars telling him one of the many tales and Natsu was just fiddling with her hair.
"Excuse me can I join?" The couple looked up and jumped in surprise for daddy dearest was standing above them.
"Daddy what are you doing here?"
"Well I went to say goodnight to my daughter and she wasn't in her room so I thought I will go and look for her" he said in way that seemed he had lost his trust in her
"Father I-"
"GO HOME LUCY"
"But I-"
"NOW"
So they both left leaving a sad Natsu on top of the hill and every night from then onwards were the same.
Natsu crept up to the window about to throw a stone when a loud cough came, "Sorry wrong house."
NEXT NIGHT.
Natsu approached the window looking to see if anyone was there, and no-one was, he threw a stone and it hit the window, as it opened natsu shouted to Lucy, "Come on down"
"Sorry Lucy is not in at the moment" said a dark figure.
"Jude?... HOLY MOLY!" And he ran away.
(NEXT NIGHT)
Natsu came to the gate and he could see that it was full of guards so he turned and walked away.
(NEXT NIGHT)
This time Lucy came to find Natsu but he wasn't here so she decided to go to the gate,
"And where do you think you're going?" Jude said
"Bathroom?" And with a point of the finger Lucy was sent back to her room. Lucy began to cry, he wanted her to find some chap that she might marry and she was thinking that of Natsu. The next day locks where put on Lucy's door, her window was lock and barred, guards were walking the premises and Jude was trying to see if he could get a restraining order to keep the little misfit away from his daughter. Lucy sat there on her bed with her head drawn to the floor trying to keep the tears back,
"Lucy, may I come in?" No reply.
"Look Lucy I'm sorry this had to happen but it's for the best" Still no reply
"Lucy, I am only doing this for the good of you" Tears were heard
"Lucy he is a bad guy and he will brake you heart"
"NO, NO HE WONT" Jude finally got a reply
"YOU ARE ONLY DOING THIS BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO SEE ME HAPPY AND THE FACT HE ISNT SOME RICH SNOB!"
"Lucy I-"
"AND THE FACT THAT I AM ACTULLY HAPPY, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN ACCEPT YOUR OWN DAUGHTERS HAPPYNESS THAT'S JUST SICK"
"Lucy I am doing all this for you"
"Are you? Are you really or are you just scared you're gunner lose me, if that's it then you will never lose me but doing all this you will lose me. You can't even see the pain you bring to me, DADDY I LOVE HIM AND IF YOU CANT ECCEPT THAT THEN THATS FINE I WILL JUST RUN AWAY AND IT WILL BE ALL YOU'RE FAULT."
Jude just stood by the door with wide eyes then after a minute or two and turned and walked away. Had he really gone too far or was she just misunderstanding?
