Hello and welcome to chapter two of Luka, Princess of Fairies. I'm going to update every Saturday and this week has two so I hope you enjoy it!


Chapter 2 – Hope of Going Home

The Guild was active and annoying as usual. Every one behaved like this was the normal Natsu. But it wasn't~ It was Macao and Wakaba that pointed out the Exceed. So that was that blue thing with a helmet and the white cat. Exceed if they were it or not, they didn't seem to be such a big problem as the real deal. I believed it was the real deal. I didn't want to stay too close to them. Not yet, I wanted to know their explanation.

Maybe the most annoying thing beside that everybody didn't suspect the Earth version: Were Levy and Lucy. Always complaining. Always screaming. But Nab was annoying. My god everyone was annoying. I wanted to scream that everyone should shut up because my ears were sensitive for the nonsense screams of the other Fairy Tail Members. However Nab burst in not much later: Fairy Hunter!

I stood close to Natsu and the others. The Wendy look-alike, only a child instead of adult. Fairy Hunters, normally I sensed them. However I had been too busy focused on Earth-Natsu and the others that I had totally forgot to check around! This was bad news. I looked at Levy who began to curse and Lucy who began to swore. "You better hold on to something." I muttered to Natsu and Wendy. The both of them seemed to see me for the first time. "Ha~" Natsu said and pointed at me. "You are.. you are.. the opposite of.." I waved it away. "I'm not!" I said, maybe harsher than the actual idea. "Don't compare me to her. I'm Luka. Just Luka." Because that woman was coming. He didn't know yet but she was an enemy. Besides her hair was scarlet and mine was soft pink.
Worse than his offence was maybe that it was true that I've grown up to look like the Fairy Hunter. Her face could be mine. We only had a few differences. But actually that wasn't strange. More worse than the offence and the fact that it was true was Levy her Shock Absorber. It could transport us from one point to another. Very great for a Earth Magic User. Not.

When we arrived I was one of the last one to stand. Actually I was the last one to stand. I heard Elfman and quickly looked at Lisanna. Elfman was simply too worried about everything: she wasn't hurt at all. However Lucy and Levy were at it again. "Can't you two shut up for a moment." I said as angry as they were and before you know it: I was screaming at them too.
Maybe it was better for the fact that I didn't hear Mirajane tell about her. About that Bitch. Erza Knightwalker. I muttered to Levy and Lucy that they should shut up and that I would scan the situation around. I had that power, I had the only power here. I explained it before. Magic wasn't something you were born with. Not in Edolas but I had it. It had taken a long time before I could use it again. There was no one around. Of course not.

Much later Natsu was explaining everything. I've got some looks to see if I confirmed. It was good that no one said yet that I was from Earthland too. I wanted to say it to him personally. They wanted to go to the Royal City to get their friends. It was useless but not too useless, if they could use magic. Everybody seemed to be surprised when he said that he would go and find his friends. "I'll go with you." I said especially when Lisanna walked away. We had different opinions about this but I couldn't longer stay here then was necessary. I wanted to go back to Earthland. Natsu looked at me, probably still convinced that I was his Erza. Only because we had a face that looked the same. He wouldn't know, he wouldn't guess. She wouldn't tell. There was this fire starting up in me, he had been looking for Erza in his guild. Did she not search? Did she not look?

Natsu was way more crazy than the Natsu Dragion that I knew. He was going after one of the well... frog monsters. The one he saw was only a baby, the mother who appeared was maybe five times my seize. We had to run. Only because I didn't want to use my magic yet. But Natsu was definitely a stupid guy. I stopped, turned around, charged! However there was my saving hero. Lucy Ashley. I had saved my powers. "Thanks," I whispered to Lucy when she was done fighting Natsu. "No problem," They started talking about Erza and I walked a few steps in front of them. Acting like I couldn't care less. Lucy was a great actress when the little Wendy asked about the people that could use Magic freely. Lucy knew it existed because her example stood right next to her. However I pinched her elbow to make sure she didn't tell.
They went into the black market. The Black Market in Edolas sold magic items. Items that possesed some kind of Lacrima that made a normal sword: a magic sword. I waited at the outside. I never liked to go in. But while I waited, I felt another person from Earthland. However I couldn't follow him since the others were inside. Maybe not only one. I couldn't wait to tell Lucy. However she didn't listen and wanted to hear more about her other self. It really annoyed me.

Of course with her being loud and the others. The Royal Army showed up. I had to use my power now. "Earth-" but before I could do anything: Wendy her magic bullet opened. We were taken into a tornado. It was a hard fall down. I quickly scanned the era. Too much soldiers and one of the Earthland Mages. "It's Lucy outside." Natsu and the others stared at me. "No really!" I wanted to open the door but there were still too much soldiers. "Let me go!" It was definitely Lucy her voice. Natsu looked at me. Dammit, I of course had told him now I possessed some kind of magic. She was so different from Lucy Ashley. It was actually kind of weird. She used Magic. Key Magic like Natsu told. He gave me one short look before he ran out. It was very weird to see how they behaved together. Way different from Ashley and Dragion.
Maybe my sister was different. Maybe she had looked every day for me but was in a guild too. She could have made a quest to find me. I didn't know yet.

Erza, I want to see you.

Okay there were too many people right now. I would wait for a short moment to see if this Earth-Lucy could handle it on her own. Otherwise I would use it. My Magic. If we were in a pinch. It was always useful to keep something a secret. Especially towards the Royal Army. When Lucy asked if she was the strongest one right now. I felt an annoying tick coming up. She summoned a person. Just like the guy she called Scorpio. They appeared out of nothing when she waved with a key. What kind of Mage was she?!
Besides they were surprising strong. First the Scorpio guy now this Aries girl. I smiled, It helped a lot to keep it hidden. Quickly we ran away into the forest. I hoped that the other Earthland-Mage survived. I hadn't had time to scan for him. I didn't feel like saying anything. But seeing Earth-Lucy like that, it brought me hope. Hope of going home, Hope of finding what I've been searching for, for so long.

I haven't said a word about Doublucy or Triplucy. It was the joke that Happy and Earthland-Lucy made about her and Ashley. And about this Gemini thing. One of her keys that looked exactly like her. I also didn't say anything about Lucy Ashley her serious talk. When she cut her hair and talked about surviving in Edolas. That it was hard and everything, I didn't feel like I had the right to talk too. Natsu hadn't looked at me again, probably because his girlfriend showed up. Don't tell me they weren't dating because I wouldn't believe it for the world.

I didn't talk about Lucy Ashley leaving because I knew. I suspected it, she told me and the next morning it came as no surprise. At least to me. We knew the route I knew the route, although she had written it down. Earthland-Lucy made a lot of noise, said she felt betrayed by herself. She would have never guessed that her other me would leave at this crucial moment. Earthland-Lucy seemed to look at me for the first time, "Oh you look like..", "Yeah yeah same face I know." I hoped not to get much attention because of that. Lucy Ashley returned to the guild. I could show them the way. I could protect them together with Lucy Heartfilia. "Is it that bad that she left?" I was more afraid that Ashley would ramble around and tell them about me. I think I might be glad that she was gone. Earthland-Lucy shrugged, I think she was just disappointed in herself, her other self. Apparently Lucy Heartfilia was more courageous, when it had something to do about: what was good for her guild. The Fairy Tail I joined took only care of themselves and did not mix with problems that weren't theirs. This Earth Fairy Tail Guild, seem to do whatever it takes to save their friends. Their kind of family. I was not the exception. I only took care of myself and Lisanna. Although the last one wasn't necessary with Mirajane and Elfman. I sighed. Right now I hoped I did what was right but I missed Lisanna. I wished that I had talked to her before I left. It felt like we had a fight now but it wasn't. I didn't want to leave her. Maybe I should go back too once we reached the Royal City. I wouldn't go without say goodbye to Lisanna and maybe, really maybe I wouldn't even leave her. She was my best friend here!

We were in a pinch! We were in a pinch! When we left the hotel to make our way to the other city and so on to the Royal City. We looked at an airship. It would go to the Capital, that was for sure. It would go so much faster. Natsu said to hijack it and well it would be a smart idea: If he could use magic and second: if there weren't so much soldiers. Lucy summened one of her key people. She acted surprise and it seemed not to be the right person. So fine, I had no other option. If they wanted me to use the power of my magic: I would.
I made sure I stood safely on my legs. Strong and powerful. "Earth Dragon's Roar!" It felt good to use it. It felt good to do something against the kingdom that wasn't even the kingdom that I wanted to live in. But there were too many and I hadn't started on time. Wendy, Lucy and Natsu had been captured. I tried to work my way to them. Beat the Royal Army up. Use my roar. Use my fist, everything I had: but I was overcome. I couldn't do anything more when they pushed me to the ground. I didn't want to make things worse. Still this was not a lost case: Here he came! Natsu Dragion!

I felt it, his vehicle: help was on it's way.
