Please reread Chapter 2, I added a few details here and there. Thanks C:
Ps: Did anybody see the Gruvia drawing Hiro Mashima uploaded? Gray is soooo blushing :p
"Excuse me.. " Juvia turned around. "What's a fine lady like you doing here?" A white haired man approached Juvia, a hand outstretched, as if offering his hand to her.
"Etto.. Are you from F-fairy Tail?"Juvia couldn't find his club mark anywhere, since he was still wearing the school uniform. The man in front of her started unbuttoning the shirt he was wearing. "Ehhh! W-what are you doing!" Juvia quickly covered her face, her face turning red. She couldn't help but leave a gap in between her fingers to see what he was doing. He seems like Gray-sama, stripping out of nowhere..
He had a mark on his right pectoral, just like Gray. Juvia could not help but look at the well sculpted body presented to her. "Like what you see, eh?" The guy smirked, Juvia's face instantly turning crimson. "Do you want to join Lamia Scale? If you do.. you can get me as a present. You can play with me if you want to. " He winked seductively, causing implied fantasies to be formed in Juvia's head.
"LYON! STAY AWAY FROM HER!" Gray pushed Lyon down the stairs. "Fuck you Graaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy…" Lyon could be heard, as his voice echoed down the staircase, while he could only tumble down the stairs. Damn it..Gray..
"Juvia! Are you okay? Did he touch you anywhere?" Gray demanded to know, concern evident in his voice. "N-no.. Does Gray-sama know him?" Juvia asked, curious to know who that guy was. "His.. sort of my brother."
"B-brother? Like.. Lyon Fullbuster?"
"Juvia! Don't use my name on his name! His name is Lyon Vastia. Remember Ul?" Gray huffed, looking away as he folded his arms.
"Juvia remembers. Gray-sama told Juvia that Ul was your.. 'mother '? "
"Yep. She… she died protecting me. Today's her death anniversary." Gray looked down, as if trying to hold on to something from coming out.
"Juvia's.. Juvia is sorry." Juvia walked up to Gray, and hugged him. "Juvia will be here for you Gray-sama." Initially the black haired main tensed up at her touch, he was still getting use of her presence around him. Then, he relaxed. Maybe she will..
"Gray! Juvia!" At the sound of the unknown voice, they quickly separated and looked away from each other, a blush adorned on both faces. "Sorry were late Juvia! Fairy Tail was visiting Ul's grave. We managed to sneak out." Juvia just gawked at her. The Erza Scarlet had broke the school rules by going out of school during lunch break. Erza held up a plastic bag she was carrying. "I have strawberry cheesecake too! Hehehe…" Erza beamed at the cake, as if proud to become its owner.
"So.. Juvia. Have you thought of joining Fairy Tail?" Erza said, biting a piece of the cake.
"W-w-what? J-Juvia.. joining Fairy Tail? B-but Juvia…" Juvia stuttered, becoming nervous again. They wanted to accept her in, even though she had…
"Gajeel-kun! What are you doing here!" Juvia had noticed Gajeel while Erza was talking to her.
"Juvia? I could say so for yourself. What are you doing here?" Gajeel was quite tall, taller than Gray, and had a few piercings on his face. A petite bluenette stood beside him, their difference in height contrasting. Gajeel signalled to Juvia to come over to him.
"Gajeel-kun! I thought you disappeared! Juvia never found you after the fight with.." Juvia started to cry. She hadn't met Gajeel for so long, Gajeel became in her lists of friends that left her.
"I.. I joined Fairy Tail after the fight with them. I thought that.. I should have done something, to make up for what I did." Gajeel said, looking remorseful as he looked down. The bluenette beside him patted his back, consoling him as he looked down to the cold hard ground.
Phantom Lord was the only club that accepted Juvia. The only friends she had, who really treated her like a normal human being ,unlike her classmates whom had shunned her the minute they saw her. She saw Phantom Lord as an opening to escape her fears. All had been well, until their club leader turned nasty. He went berserk, and went around forcing people to join Phantom Lord. He even went as far to threaten people to join the club. He ordered her to steal other club members.
On that day, she made a stupid decision. Wasn't it similar to what her parents did to her? She had taken Lucy Heartfilla, one of the smart people she knew that aced her academic reports. She was particularly bright with the subject of constellations and the things in the sky. She took Lucy to the club's headquarters, and left her there overnight without any food or water. When she went home that day, she started thinking of what she just did. Wasn't it the same ? Juvia's behaving like her monster.
When Juvia woke up, she knew she made the wrong decision and immediately went to the HQ to check on Lucy. She wanted to release her, but she knew their leader would be angry. But.. She wanted to repay back their leader for what he had done for her. Upon reaching the place, the rope tied around her hands previously laid forgotten on the floor. A broken glass bottle found laying nearby.
Phantom Lord came to Fairy Tail's club room, located on the fourth floor of the school's main building. They fought it out there.
It turned out to be a tougher fight than expected, but Fairy Tail won. Phantom Lord disbanded, leaving each of the members 'clubless'. A free person.
Juvia knew she shouldn't have concerned herself too much around Fairy Tail, when she heard from Gray that he was in the said club. But it had already been a year since the fight between Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail had ended, maybe they had forgotten about their old enemies.
"I finally recognise you! Y-you were that girl that took me away! " Lucy's shout had brought her away from her thoughts, she looked up to find many people looking up at her, curiosity painted on their faces. "You look different now though. You had those big curls around your ears. You look better with your wavy hair." Lucy had stepped closer to her, her hand touching the bluenette's hair.
Juvia collapsed to the floor, both of her hands covering her face. "G-g-gomen, L ucy.. Juvia is really sorry.." She whimpered. She felt sudden warmth around her arms. She opened one eye, only to see Lucy's brown orbs staring back into hers. "Its ok Juvia. You're part of us now, right? Anyway it happened ages ago, you don't have to care about that anymore. " Lucy grinned at her, patting her back softly as she wailed into Lucy's shoulder.
After school, the gang went to Fairy Tail's room. Juvia's eyes were puffy and red, the result of her crying too much during break. Juvia was happy with the new found family she had. She remembered though, when she had returned from the washroom with Lucy and proceeded to her class, the other girls called her a 'emo freak'. She even had a paper ball thrown at her with the words 'FAT' and 'UGLY' scrawled on it.
Juvia just smiled at the words used to describe her. She had a family to depend on now, she didn't have to be affected by their words anymore.
Juvia is free.
