A/N:
Depressing, i only have 9 views so far. ;-; might just cry but ima just pull through.
Lucy walked down the corridor and began to dread her parents needed from her. They would only send her if they were desperate or something. This wasn't good. She rounded the corner and held her breath. She felt like she was being dragged down to the bottom of the earth and had the soil resting on her shoulders, weighing her down. Soon enough, her parents came into view point and she closed her eyes. Holding Lucy's head up, she came to stand in front of them. They seemed to smile when she opened her eyes and it frightened her.
"Lucy dear." Layla greeted.
"Mother."She addressed.
her farther stayed quiet as he stood beside Layla.
"We have a man that we thing you should meet." She said with a loving smile.
"Where is he mother?" Lucy questioned.
"He is coming on my birthday, after the party, you two will be introduced together."She continued to smile as Lucy.
"Very well, shall i start to pick out a dress of some sort to be presentable for him?" Lucy asked, her tone dead.
"If you wouldn't mind, i know you not one for parties and dressing up but it would mean so much to me dear." Lucy nodded in response.
"Very well, i'll get going now so i can pick the dress out." Lucy stated and walked away without her parents saying goodbye.
It broke Lucys heart as she walked in a steady pace towards her room. Her parents showed kindness when it felt suitable to them yet when Lucy needed it the most, they didn't speak to her. Therefore causing her to be unsociable and by herself the majority of her life. The only time Lucy spoke really was when she was with Levy. Lucy opened the door with a kick and closed the latch. She stared intently at the wardrobe. Shame that man would come all this distance, only to find his bride to be, gone. Lucy looked out the window and sighed. Levy knew the plan and it was only a matter of time before they were free. Free from a cursed life. A faint, ghostly smile toke form on Lucy's beautiful face. She grabbed a dark red dress from her wardrobe. It was a little tight and would make it hard for her to move around in it but she had to show that she was going to attend. She needed to make people less suspicious of her. She laid on her bed and let her eyes lids fall down. Darkness comforting her as a soft blanket wrapped around her mind. A dream taking place as she slept. A dream of princes, dragons, other mythical creatures.
The day of Layla's birthday:
Lucy sat down as people from the village applied makeup to her face. A small blush, light mascara and a little lip gloss. She requested for them to leave so she could get dressed. Lucy inhaled and stepped out and to the front of the house where her parents stood and waved to their people. She toke in her mothers dress. A stunning green, natural flowers littered on her back and down the trail that covered her tail. Lucy was envious. She knew her mother was more beautiful then her but that didn't help jealousy taking over her. Her mother noticed her presence and held her hand.
"I'm glad your here. He will be here soon but until then, i would like you to stay in your room. I want him to be awed at you." She said.
Lucy nodded and turned her head away from her mothers direction. The conversation that was yet another short one died out. Lucy walked back into the house and into her room, grabbed her bag, she slipped out of thee window and looked around to make sure no one saw her. Luckily, everyone was at the gathering in front of the house she was no longer going to call her home after this night. Lucy let the stories that her mother and father told her, cloud her mind. Dragons swallowing innocent children and other defenceless creatures. Mermaids dragging people to the depths of the ocean. Vampires drinking any blood and killing anything in their way. They weren't true because if it was true, they would of all become extinct over a century ago. Lucy galloped fast as soon as she was out of ear range and saw Levy standing right before her. She smiled brightly as Lucy as she panted.
"I know that i told you to get here fast, but not to the point your on the verge of dying." Levy giggled quietly.
"Just be glad there's someone with the same beliefs as you."Lucy mumbled but smiled.
"Come on, we have to get going, no doubt that other royal man will be coming down this path soon." Levy said whilst looking around at the thought of him.
Lucy nodded in agreement and started a normal conversation as they made their way to the cliff that they hang out at a lot. Strangely, guards never came over here. It didn't matter anyway, they wanted to see the view one last time before they went on their journey. The guards were at the party so it didn't matter where they left or where they were stationed. Levy held Lucy's hand as butterflies intruded their stomachs. Nervous yet feeling like they were ready to take on the world, they looked up at the sky. Stars littered it in a beautiful manor and they loved to see them twinkle. Lucy was about to turn around with Levy until something glittered in front of them. It was black but had some type of glitter in it.
"What's that?" Levy asked. Backing away slightly.
"I don't know..." Lucy said. Peering for ward, Lucy felt she could trust this mysterious black pool of sparkles. "Although, i think it's out ticket out of here."
"WAHHH!-" Levy screamed as Lucy pulled her into it.
They both landed with an opmth and Lucy laughed.
"You could of killed me!" Levy screamed at her best friend.
"Yeah but i didn't." Lucy said and began to survey her surroundings.
"Levy, were, on the outside of the woods."Lucy began.
"But how? I would of toke us like 4 hours to get out of here not a minute." She said looking back to see miles of trees behind her.
"It must of been a portal. This world is magical after all."Lucy said looking back too.
What ever that was, was sure to be there if they needed to return. They stood up and clung to their bags. Unaware of what the world would actually be like, they ventured forwards. Towards the world of the unknown.
