I'm going to be honest. I can't remember the last time I made a fanfiction and actually enjoy writing it. Fairy tail has really brought the joy back in me for writing stories. I don't know what it, I'm guessing it's because it's a new fandom I'm into and I haven't written a story about it yet. I really don't know, but I'm happy to be writing it.
I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter, and I hope you like this one just as much.
Nobody's pov
Lucy had returned to her home after her shopping. She had put the key on her ring with the others so she wouldn't lose it. She was a little disappointed that she may have gotten a fake key someone had made. But at least she didn't have to pay for it.
It was nice of that lady to give her the key for free. Not many people would do that, even if their products was fake and they knew it. They would normally lower the price and still sell it to rip off their sellers, but it seems lie that lady wan't like that.
Lucy wanted to do something nice for that lady when she had the chance. Maybe she would give her a few hundred jewel, for her kindness. Lucy has enough of it, considering she's in one of the richest families. Though she wish she wasn't, she had thought about running away, and taking her father's money with her, but she was worried what her father would do if he noticed she was gone, that is if he cared.
The 17, soon to be 18, year old teenager sat on her bed inspecting her new key. It was beautiful work though. Whoever had made it too a lot of time and effort to make it look nice. Lucy had guessed that the spirit, if there was one, used fire attacks based on the look of the key and the symbol on it.
"Gate of the Salamander." She said to herself. Would that mean the spirit would be a lizard? She wasn't going to judge spirit by it's name. Her spirit Taurus , the golden bull, isn't golden at all, he's just a normal cow. So she wasn't going to instantly think this would be a lizard spirit.
"I've never heard of the Salamander gate key." A voice said.
Lucy's head snapped up from hearing the voice. She saw Cobra standing in front of her, watching her look at her key. She felt creeped out because she did know how long he was standing there.
"N-neither have I. How long have you been standing there?" She asked, clutching the key in her hand.
"I just got here. I heard you say Gate of the Salamander and I was confused on what gate that is." He said, petting the chin of his snake that was resting on his shoulder.
"Yeah, me too. I don't know if it's even a gate at all. I think some one made a fake key and sold it." She said. "If I'm right, this person went through a lot of trouble to make a fake key. It's design it so complicated, just like a normal key." She said. Cobra hummed and nodded.
"Try opening it. You'll never know until you try. I've wanted to see how wizards make contracts with their spirits." He said. Lucy was surprised by that, he was actually interested in seeing her make a contract. 'Maybe I've got this guy all wrong.' She thought.
"Okay. You're right I guess. I've got nothing to lose." She said and stood up, holding the hilt of the key, getting into her stance to open it. "Open! Gate of the-"
"Lady Lucy!" A voice came out. Lucy stopped what she was doing to see one of her servants running towards her. The servant was a middle aged man, his late 60s. He had blood on his arm, as if he was shot.
Lucy gasped and ran to him. "What happened!?" She quickly asked him, worried about him.
"You must go. Bandits are here. They're so strong! Please go!" He said and groaned from the pain in his arm. She went to refuse but Cobra grabbed her arm, she gasped when she saw his hand was covered in purple scales with long claws.
"Go, I'll give you enough time to escape." He said and walked to were the servant had ran from. An aroma came off him that didn't smell particularity nice. Her servant gave her a normal key, which she was confused by.
"It's the key to the basement. You can escape through there. Please go miss Lucy." He begged her.
"No, I won't leave you here to die!" She said and set him by the wall and grabbed her gate keys and ran to follow Cobra.
She ran down the hallway and looked down the stairs to see Cobra riding a giant purple snake. His arms were covered in scales, his coat a little torn. He glared at the three people that stood before him
There was a man with black fire over his arms with the creepiest smirk on his face, as if he was possessed. His long yellow hair stood up in different places.
Another man that looked extremely fat with black hair that honestly look like he hasn't used any shampoo since the stone age, was holding a tiny little doll in his hands. The man's skin look as if it were iron.
And the third person was a woman with long, smooth black hair. She wore a suit that honestly looked a little tight, an orb in her hand, aiming it at Cobra.
Cobra looked outnumbered, she had to do something. She grabbed her gate keys, pulling out Cancer's. She went to summon him, but listened to what the four were saying.
"Mr Cursie will put you in your place. All I need are one of your bristles and I can control you." The fat guy said with a smile, pointing to his doll.
"Than I won't allow you to get close to me." Cobra responded. The snake he was riding on went to lunge at the guy with the black fire, but the girl threw the orb in her hand at the snake.
"Arc of time!" She said and the snake shrunk. Cobra fell to the ground. Cobra looked for his snake.
"Cubellios!" He called out in fear as if it had died. The guy with the black fire sucked in a breath.
"Explosive flame!" The guy said and shot black fire out of his mouth and shot it at Cobra. He was engulfed in the fire, burning his clothes. Once the fire dulled down, Cobra was on his knees, struggling to stand.
"Cobra!" Lucy called out. The four looked up at her and the guy with the black fire smirked.
"Boy, don't you look pretty." He turned to her.
"Lucy... run!" Cobra tried to warn her, but she didn't listen.
"Open! Gate of the giant crab! Cancer!" She said and Cancer appeared, scissors in hand, and sun glasses.
"What do you need, baby?" He asked her, opening and closing his scissors.
"Give them the worst hair cut they'll run home screaming." She said and pointed to the people who beat up Cobra.
"You got it, baby." He said and dashed towards them, slicing his weapons at them. He went towards the fat guy and saw that nothing happened to him. He gasped when his blades had gotten dull. "How did you dull my babies, baby?" He asked him
"I haven't washed my bristles since I had been born."
"That's not something to be proud about." He said. The lady threw an orb at Cancer and her was forcefully sent back to his gate.
"Cancer!?" She was confused. She put Cancer's key back and reached for Taurus' key. The black flame guy shot fire at her before she could grab it. Lucy screamed in pain from the burn and was thrown back into a wall. She whimpered from the pain. Her arms were burned and her clothes were too. She revealed a little more cleavage than she liked, but was still covered. Her face hurt.
"I'm in no shape to fight." She whimpered and slowly tried to crawl away. She couldn't beat these guys, there were so strong. She had to find the basement and escape while she still could. Even though it hurt, she got to her feet and started to run for the basement.
The grunted in pain as she ran, her keys jingling by his hip. She had tossed her shoes away, they made too much noise. She had also ran to her room to collect her money and a quick change of clothes. This was it, she was leaving home forever. She was getting her adventure she had always wanted.
She ran to the basement and quickly unlocked the door. She had almost been caught by the wizards that attacked Cobra. She felt horrible about leaving him, he had risked his life so she could get to safety. That was brave, and sweet of him. She really did have this guy all wrong. If she had the chance she would go back and help him, but she wasn't in shape or condition to fight.
She ran through the basement, to the exit door. She was so close, to her freedom, to her safety, to her adventure. She pushed herself forward to open the door and exit the basement. She had entered the garden, the one place she loved about her home.
She ran through the rainbow and aroma of flowers. Leaving her home for the final time. She was scared, and excited. She was finally away from her father, but worried about what would happen to the others, to her dad, to Cobra.
Before she knew it, tears from the fear and pain had hit her eyes and she collapsed on the ground. She didn't know how long and how much she ran, all she knew was instead of soft green grass, she felt hard gray rocks. She cried from her worry for her father and Cobra, she also cried from the pain in her arms, her feet, legs, face, neck, all of it.
Before she knew it, she had slipped into unconsciousness.
When Lucy had awoken, she found herself laying on some grass. It wasn't quite comfortable, but a lot better than the rocks she remembered. Her wounds were bandaged and her things were by her head. She groaned and sat up.
"How did I get here? The last thing I remember is falling on rocks." She asked herself.
"I brought you here." A male voice said. Lucy gasped and turned to see a teenager with black hair and no shirt. A silver necklace rested on his neck. He had his arm propped up on his left knee as he sat beside her. He had a weird emblem on his chest
"W-who are you?" She asked, not sure if she trust him.
"I'm Gray. I found you on my way home from a mission I was on. I couldn't leave you there in pain." He said. A small first aid kit sat at her feet, open and bandages hanging out of it.
"Thank you Gray." She said and grabbed her keys. "I'm Lucy." She said
"What happened to you. You had third degree burns all over your arms. I'm sure even the worst chef couldn't get that many burns." He asked her.
"I... I don't want to talk about it right now." She said and looked down sadly.
"Alright. Listen, we aren't too far from Magnolia, how about I helped you to a friend who can heal you properly." She said
"No, you don't have to do that." She said. She didn't want to cause him any trouble.
"I'm heading in the direction anyways." He said. "When was the last time you ate?" He asked her. His answer was when Lucy's stomach growled. She hadn't eaten yesterday. It looked early, she must have been asleep a long time. "Come on. I'll take you to my guild, get some food in your system and my friend can heal you." He said and trying to help Lucy to her feet without hurting her.
"Are you sure?" She asked him.
"Yeah." He said with a small smile and a nod. "Now let's go." He said and started walking.
Wow, a chapter yesterday, and a chapter today. I'm having a lot of fun writing this story. I bet you all thought she was going to summon her new spirit didn't you. Hahaha! Stay tuned for chapter 3!
