Hey guys whats up? Long time no see, Hope you enjoy the story my Fancies.
After a week of being able to work at the cafe with her new friends Levy and Lisanna and Lucy all started hanging outside of work. They would go for runs together, eat lunch, and even have movie nights. Levy had offered for her to move in with her while she stayed, it took some convincing but now here she was, laying in the purple covers of the bed that she had giving her to sleep in. The pillows were soft, the comforter wasn't rough with the numerous washing cycles of hotel washing machines, and the room smelt like an actual home. Something she hadn't had for a while. She had missed the feeling of waking up to the smell of coffee and humming in the kitchen. She smiled picturing a brown haired man cooking pancakes while she sat on the counter smiling at him. The smell of spices and coffee filled the air along with his humming and random laughs when he caught her staring at him eyes full of love. His golden eyes would lock with hers as he pulled her in for a sweet savoring kiss. She would pull back with a smile then scream when she saw his blank bloody face with matted hair full of dried blood.
"No No No NO NO NO NOT AGAIN REN!" She reached out only to be pulled back further and further from him as he got bloodier and dirtier.
"REN!" She jumped up out of her bed and looked around with wild eyes, as a figure in the doorway stood silent.
"Lucy." a sympathetic Levy whispered in worry. She would always come in with a glass of hot chocolate for Lucy in the early mornings if she heard her petrified screams in the night. She stayed in bed panting covered in sweat shaking. She was grateful the blue haired girl never asked when terrified the woman so much. Levy walked to the bed and handed Lucy the warm drink. The drink hit the woman's soft pink lips and helped wake her up a little to help her relax. She felt the warmth flow through her body and through her veins to the rest of her body. " Lisanna and I wanted to go to Fairy Tail tomorrow. It's a bar that's quite rowdy. It will be fun. Would you like to come?" Levy spoke out in a soft voice full with a tune that would make any child stop crying. The blonde nodded and finished the small cup of hot chocolate. Levy smiled and took the cup from her walking out. Brown orbs watched the closed door for a while before pulling the blankets back up and laying down once more. She hated nights but they were necessities.
The clock moved to five showing the three girls that they could shut down for the day. Lucy smiled and stretched happy she was done working. She did love it, it was great having two people to talk with everyday and get along with.
"Lisanna do you want to get ready at my house with us?" Levy asked grabbing her little bag to hang on her shoulder. The silver haired woman shook her hair smiling. "No thank you I'm going to bring someone else so I will just meet you two there." With that everyone said their goodbyes and went home to get ready.
"Levy where in the world did you get this?" lucy asked the smaller girl holding up a black skin tight dress that Lucy was suppose to wear. A chuckle echoed through the room as Levy shimmied into a smaller blue dress with some green patterns.
"I have a friend named Cana who gave that to me, you would not believe how many times I said no. You are meeting her tonight actually. Oh and Lisanna's sister Mirajane." Lucy gasped.
"There's another sibling?"
" Yep only the three though, Mira and Cana both work at the bar" Levy sat down and thought for a second.
"Come to think of it you are going to meet a lot of people."
Lucy looked down at the dress, She was already risking so much living with Levy and being friends with lisanna. What if she drew attention to herself? She could get caught again.
"Lucy?" The said girl looked up with a blank face only to see a huge smile on the girl's face. "Are you going to go naked? Come on hurry up." Lucy nodded and slipped on the black dress and finished fixing her hair. All she had to do was be careful and she would be fine. Right?
Walking into Fairy tail was like walking into a fighting arena. People were yelling, chairs and food was flying and it was nerve racking. Lucy stood behind Levy in the doorway hoping to go unnoticed. Levy acted like this was a normal thing that happened all the time, did it? The said blue haired girl ducked and turned to scream at someone as lucy snuck over to the bar near a woman with long white hair and a sleeveless, ankle length maroon dress. She must be Mirajane.
"Hello, may I get you something?" The sweet smile she gave made lucy relax and show her own smile.
"No thank you just somewhere to avoid the chaos."
"Oh there is a back room right over there Im sure its much more pleasant, it should die down soon enough out here." Lucy gave her a smile, thanked her and left to go into the room that was supposedly quieter. The door was a dark red and the hallway was already quieter then the bar was. That gave lucy hope. The door swung open and inside she saw two figures in a conversation. One she recognized.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was occupied." She blushed in embarrassment and turned to walk away.
"No lucy I didn't know you were here yet, here let me introduce you to my childhood best friend." Lucy turned to the white short haired girl who was grinning.
"This is Natsu Dragneel." Hazel eyes wandered over to the man she was talking about. He was a lean, muscular young man of average height with black fiery eyes full of mischief. His hair was the colour of salmon swimming under the cool water in July. Something about him made her able to take a deep breath, like the crushing weight of the ocean waves lifted away and she was able to breathe. All this from a boy who she'd just met?
"Hi, you're lucy right?" His smile, It was so relaxed and carefree and just happy. She was mesmerized. How could anyone be so happy?
"Yeah." was all I could say, she was at lost for words, The girl had never felt so much emotion radiating off of someone. She wanted this, No, She realized she couldn't have it.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted. I didn't realize anyone was back here." Lucy gave them both a small smile and retreated, I'm sorry Levy but I don't think I could be strong enough to stay hidden and resist that carefree attitude. I'm going back to the house.
Not having any money for a taxi and knowing the house wasn't that far, Lucy walked. What was she thinking? She shouldn't have gone to a bar, she could pack up now and leave and no one would notice nor care. She glanced down at her moving feet, She would miss them, Levy and Lisanna. But she knew better, every time she made friends and felt a connection-. Her hands made the shapes of fists. She wanted to stay, she wanted to be free again she wanted away from her father. How much longer until they found her? Days? Weeks? Months? Hours? They could be watching her now.
"Hey Lucy!" The girl froze. Someone had called her name, she didn't recognize the voice quite yet. She turned and saw a male figure jogging up to her. Natsu. Brown eyes widened and she turned and continued walking. Maybe if she ignored him, he would get the message and she could leave town peacefully.
"Wait why did you run off?" He called after her obviously not trying to hard to keep up. He was only a few feet behind her now. Her eyes glanced at him. She cringed, she could reach out and touch him if she wanted to. Stroke his strong jawline run her fingers through the sea of salmon silk. NO. She jerked away and walked faster.
"You're running from something." This made her stop, did he know? Was he one of them? Her heart sunk she felt betrayed to the man she's just met. How did they keep finding her? She spun around to face him putting her hand out slowly backing away.
"Please just take me, don't hurt anyone here." She begged "I will come without a fight just don't take anyone else." Never had she seen him coming after her, Only the black haired man and the red haired woman.
"What are you talking about? I was just saying you seem scared of everything, so you must be hiding something. " He gave her that carefree smile.
"Come, we can go get some coffee and talk, might help you relax you know." He placed his hands on top of each other and rested them on the back of his neck. " I know a great place." she felt foolish, she just spilled a lot of secrets, what if he notifies the people after her? She could get herself caught and a lot of people killed. But for some reason she nodded and followed him.
She got a salted caramel Mocha while Natsu got a Chile Mocha. She shuddered, that had to be gross. But the pink haired man seemed to enjoy it.
"It's so good!" he chuckled after taking a sip. His laugh was even brightening. He had surprisingly paid for both drinks, which she wasn't complaining he just didn't seem like the guy to do so.
"So Lucy, What brought you here?" She stiffened and kept quiet, she couldn't answer any questions.
"No answer? That's okay we can stick to simple ones. Like… What's your favourite colour?"
"Blue and Pink." she mumbled holding the warm cup in both hands near her face, they were both sitting in chairs outside the coffee shop. Natsu nodded
"Those are cool, Mines Red and Orange." He thought of another question. " How old are you?"
She thought for a second, this won't cause harm will it?
"17." She kept her answers short and simple.
"Awesome me too!" How is he so happy all the time? " Do you have any animals?" He asked grinning. She shook her head in response. " Oh well I have a cat named Happy, I accidentally spilt blue dye on him one day so he's now a blue cat but I think it's cool." lucy gave him a short giggle in reply. "You have a pretty smile." The complement felt good but she still stopped laughing anyway. It felt odd to be laughing a real laugh, but who dyes a cat blue on accident? She stood up and he followed.
"Thank you for the coffee but I really must be heading back to the house now." She said with a small smile still on her face. He nodded and took one last sip of coffee before throwing it out.
"I'll walk you home." He offered, sounded like fun but she shook her head anyway.
"No thank you, I think I will be fine without it but thanks for the offer." she turned and started walking away.
"You know we all have secrets." he called out after her. She looked down and said nothing in reply, this was going to hurt but she had to leave this town.
Dear Mother,
Mom I need advice. So levy Lisanna and I went to a bar named Fairy Tail, It was very rowdy and seemed fun. I met a guy named Natsu Dragneel, When I looked at him all my doubts about the world just melted away, He seemed like someone that was just so calming. It was nice to see someone like that again, almost like you. But I think he knows something, He knows I have a secret and that I am running from something, He has to know. I wanted to tell him, I wanted to scream for help but I was drowned out by the fact the same thing could happen to him that happened to Ren. I miss him still momma, I want him to still be alive. I want what I had with him again, but I know I can't because of dad. Anyway, the Advice I need is if I should leave again or not, I could run away to another town and have a more remote place. I'm not sure anymore mom, Maybe I should just turn myself into dad and get married off.
Goodnight Momma I Love you,
-Lucy Heartfilia
