Well Hello my Dear Readers! Welcome to...
Chapter 3. New Force
Lucy POV
'' Mom, Dad! ''
I screamed and cried softly. Now I was back in the Void and the blackness felt overwhelming. I'm a murderer, it was my fault that mother died. I sobbed and sat shivering in the darkness.
'' Are you really so weak last dragon queen? ''
asked a voice and I froze.
'' I couldn't even protect the people I love, I am weak and useless. How should I be the queen of the dragons? ''
I asked, the voice just laughed. I stood up and turned around, searching. Slowly, I stopped and closed my eyes. I am useless.
'' What do we want to do, my queen? Should we wipe out the Humans? Do you wanna us our Magic for this ?''
I froze by the question from the voice, yes Humans are evil and cruel. I should kill them all. However, is Fairy Tail evil? My family?
'' Humans are unpredictable, evil, and cruel. But there are also good Humans, Humans that are our protection worth ''
I said firmly and opened my eyes.
'' It's true I hate Humans, their race disgusts me. They are selfish and cruel, but there are also good Humans, as Fairy Tail. During the years there, I've learned that I would sacrifice my life for my Nakames and even for strangers I would fight. Humans are trying to protect their family, so they are just like us. We want to protect our family in our way. I don't wanna use my magic for evil, I would like to show the dragon, to have their own country, where they can live in peace with the humans. I want to use my magic for life and not for death. ''
With every word I raised my voice until I screamed. You could hear the echo of my voice and then it was quiet.
'' That is it what you wanna do, my queen? Do we not you wanna kill humanity? ''
Asked the voice and the darkness was slowly replaced by light.
'' No, I don't wanna kill. I want to show with my power, the dragons a way how to be in peace with all humans of Fiore's. ''
I said and smiled, just as mother would have wanted. The light was now a flash, as my eyes had become accustomed, their stood a black dragon with golden hair before me. The Dragon smiled and bowed:
'' Then we will fulfil our desire Luciana Dragonheart ''
As the dragon raised her claw and touched my forehead, pain explode in my head. It took my breath away, exploded in pain and felt as if thousands of needles are pierced through my body. I screamed and everything disappeared. So I fell into the harsh light. While my power manifested in my body.
I opened my eyes and abruptly jerked upward (She was lying and is now sitting).
'' Ahh, Lucy ?! ''
Said several voices and I looked around searching. The room I was lying, looked like an ancient Greek temple. In the middle was an altar and on the altar I sat. Next to me, on the ground were Vigro, Loke / Leo, Capricon, Cancer and Scorpio who had Aquarias in his arm.
'' Minna! ''
I screamed and looked at them confused, what are they doing on the floor?
'' Princess, would you might Please wear the bracelet? ''
Asked Vigro who was still lying on the ground. Please, repeated the others. I looked at them confused and took the bracelet next to me. It was golden and had all Zodiac insignia on it. I put on the bracelet and the Zodiacs sighed. Everyone stood up and I just asked what had happened.
'' Lucy, your Magic level was increased by 50 times and straight, hehehe, it was a bit too much for us. We will need time to get used to your power for a while until we can stand against you. The bracelet we have given you is a Magic limiter. With this, it looks like as if your magic is on a normal level. ''
I looked at him just amazed as Loke smiled and went on:
'' Also the bracelet is something special, a gift of all zodiacs to you. The bracelet is also a key to call us. It is a shortcut to call the Zodiacs. You must only touch the Insignia and call for one of us. ''
'' Wow, thank you. ''
I said just speechless and touched. I stood up and hugged everyone. Loke smiled, Vigro just stood there quietly and asked for punishment, Capricon hugged me back, Scorpio smiled and hugged me but stooped because Aquarias stabbed me with her gaze. I smiled and hugged as last Aquarias, who only smiled and hugged me back. We smiled at each other and I asked how long I was gone. Capricon replied slightly nervous:
'' You are now one day here Lucy. ''
'' Oh good, it was only one day. The guild doesn't need to worry. ''
I said with a sigh. As Vigro then said:
'' Princess, one day here in the spirit world. That's 3 months in Earthland (So normal world). ''
I froze ... and screamed in horror:
'' 3 MONTHS, 3 freaking MONTHS I HAVE SLEPT! ''
My Spirits cringed and laughed nervously.
'' Good luck Leo and Capricon! ''
Scorpio said, as he, Aquarias and Vigro were running away. The two left back also tried to escape, but I grabbed them by the neck and wanted an explanation.
'' Don't you remember? ''
Asked Loke and I froze as my memories caught up with me.
''Ohh .. ''
I just said and my legs subsided. Capricorn caught me and put me on the altar.
'' Then i've killed them all. ''
I whispered in horror, as I remembered my blood thirst. My Spirits looked at me calmly, they knew what pain I had experienced. As I remembered back in the experiment. My right eye ...
'' A mirror, a mirror! Please ''
I said and looked at the two. Capricon and Loke ran of and came after 1 minute again with a silver hand mirror. I sighed, my eye was completely normal no silver.
'' Do not worry Lucy, I've researched it. Your eye will only get Silver when your blood lust takes over you. ''
I sighed again, but my blond hair was now golden and went till to my hip. The glow was finally gone. Loke said only, that I look beautiful, especially with the silver tunic. I blushed and sighed, as long as I do not have a thirst for blood, nothing will happen. They smiled at me and asked what I want to do now.
'' First I wanna get back, we can think later. ''
I just said and stood up again. The two just nodded and asked if I wanted to directly guild, I just nodded. I wanted to see my family, wanted to see that humans are not evil.
'' Then I'll take you back. Ohh and the king trusts on your success that you can handle your strength. ''
Said Loke, ready take me back. I turned one last time to Capricon and said:
'' Capricon, say to the Spiriking I am indebted to him and I thank him from the bottom of my heart. For he had always helped me and mother. ''
Capricon smiled and nodded. I took Lokes hand and he brought me to the guild. My second home, I thought. Loke smiled at me and took my hand. Then he kissed me the old-fashioned way and said:
'' I will now go my beloved Lucy. If you have any problems, just touch your bracelet. ''
He said, bowing before he left.
'' Thank you. ''
I whispered and turned to the door and took a deep breath. With the new senses I could smell everything. The smell of my friends, sweat and beer. I sighed, for now should Natsu and the others Dragonslayers smelled me. With a last deep breath, I entered the building.
Natsu's POV
It was now 3 months since Lucy was gone. Loke had come after a week and said that Lucy will remain for a while in the Spirit World. We all wanted to know why, especially Team Natsu, but Loke went before we could ask him a question. We were all worried about Lucy and the mood in the guild since then has been rather sad. After one month where Team Natsu had just sulked and done nothing. The old man, throw us out ad said, we can only come back if we done a mission. We obeyed Masters command and took a mission near Magnolia,in case if Lucy comes back. That was a while ago so we all sat at our table and poking around in our food. The others were worried, especially about me (I would normally had around this time, eaten 5 plates and 1 brawl behind me.) Lucy, I missed her. She was one of the most important people included, Igneel and Happy. I missed her laughter, her kindness and her smell. The smell of strawberry and vanilla, the smell of Lucy.
'' Should we do a mission? '
Asked Erza and almost all of Team Natsu nod. I just shook my head and said:
'' No thanks, I pass this mission. ''
The others nod. But then Wendy asked innocently:
'' Natsu, are you in love with Lucy? ''
All around us people were quiet, you could hear a pin drop so quiet it was. I felt like I was getting red, well I could not blame her what she had asked. Since Lucy was gone, I was quiet, didn't start a fight with Gray or someone else and my food consumption was also gone back. Erza and Gray looked at me with a, if you dare to touch our little sister we will kill you, look . I swallowed only, but before I could answer, I smelled it. The familiar smell of strawberry and vanilla, the smell of Lucy. All Dragonslayer noticed it and stood up abruptly and turned their gaze to the door. The people were confused about the behaviour of the Dragonslayer, but then they realized what was probably the reason. Just at that moment the door was opened and a cheerful:
'' I'm home Minna! ''
Cried happily as the person who entered the house.
'' LUCY! ''
Everybody screamed and looked with tears in their eyes to their long-lost Celestial Mage. We were all shocked and amazed, she's beautiful! Her blond long hair were now to her hips with a golden shimmer. She wore a silver tunic that flattered her figure and let her shine even more than she already did. The dress had a belt that was golden girdle and had all Insignia of the Zodiacas. But one thing I couldn't quit understand whatforce who let me feel cold and also as soon as I realized it disappeared. Was that Lucy?I thought as I looked around if anyone else felt this force. Wendy just stood there and looked at me with a puzzled expression, so she had felt it. With a quick look back, I realized that also Laxus and Gajeel felt it. With a glance, they let me understand that they thought it too. Was this power coming from Lucy?The people did not notice the funny behaviour of the Dragonslayers and were completely focused on their long missed friend. Levy, Erza, Gray, Mira and Lissiana ran with tears in his eyes Lucy and crushed her. People laughed and followed the example of the crying people. Only the Dragonslayers stopped, they looked thoughtfully at each other. As Wendy shrugged her shoulders and went to the laughing crowd. We smiled, each of us had missed Lucy. Lucy the light of Fairy tail, my Lucy.
Lucy POV
I was laughing and crying at the same time. My friends almost crush me, but I was not complaining.
'' Lucy my child, please come to my office. ''
said Master from the second floor. I nodded and smiled apologetically at my friends. Erza smiled at me and said:
'' Lucy, we need to talk later. ''
I nodded and hurried up the stairs to the second floor. Just when I walked into the office of Master, Master jumped into my arms and cried, weeping:
'' Lucy ..! How could you leave me alone! * Sobs * I had to work! ''
I just laughed and removed the master crying in front of me. After the GMG I helped Master with his paperwork. Especially because I felt guilty, master always had to do the paperwork which Team Natsu brought. It turned out that I had a great skill with data and calculations, since then, Master refused to do the paperwork. We laughed and he sat down in his chair. I sat down opposite him, Master looked at me calmly.
'' Lucy, do you want to tell me what happened? ''
he asked and I could see that he meant it seriously. I looked at him quietly and nodded. After I had inhaled deeply, I began:
'' Long ago my mother had put a seal upon me. She hid my strength because men, more precisely a dark guild, were after me. But the seal was friable and the Spirit King had then broken the seal. He knew my strength, it would kill me and people near me. So he had brought me into the Spirit World to open it there. ''
He looked at me calmly and then asked:
'' Which Magic would it be? ''
I looked at him, I could not say what I really am, so I just said:
'' Celestial Dragon Magic. ''
Master looked at me shocked, he would have never expected that.
'' Then we would have five Dragonslayer ... wait, no. ''
He looked at me in shock and then screamed in horror:
'' Lucy, please do not say you're so destructive as Natsu! ''
I laughed and shook my head. I said that this will never happen, hopefully. Master looked at me still in horror.
'' Anyway, Master could you please tell nobody who, or rather what I am. ''
I said and Master nodded understanding. I stood up and turned to go when I stopped, looked back and said:
'' I will come tomorrow morning for the paperwork. ''
So I turned around and left. Master laughed and cried joyfully:
'' Thank you, Lucy, thank you! Tomorrow I'm free, Hooray! ''
I laughed and left the second floor. Mirajane, who heard Master laughed and said with a smile:
'' Lucy, you spoil master too much! ''
I just chuckled and sat down to the bar.
'' A little, but with all the difficulties which we bring him that's the least I can do. ''
Mira nodded and quickly disappeared into the kitchen. Just to come seconds later with a glass of strawberry milkshake back.
'' This is free! ''
She said only and I thanked her, grinning.
'' Lucy! ''
Cried my friends. I smiled apologetically at Mira and went to my friends. On a large table sat Team Natsu, Lissiana, Levy and Gajeel.
"Well, did I miss anything?"
I asked as I sat down next to Levy. They smiled at me and told me:
"So, where do I start ... We have a new member and guess who that is?"
I looked at Levy just confused and she grinned:
"Jellal!"
I looked at Levy in surprise and my eyes wandered to the blushing Erza. We all laughed and they also told me that team Natsu was very quiet and did not break anything. For the second time this evening, I was surprised and I looked at Natsu. But he was kinda ignoring me. A stitch went through me, as one of my best friend ignored me.
"I'm going, I'll see you tomorrow people, oh and Lucy?"
I looked at Natsu and looked down at me (he was standing). He smiled and said:
"I missed you, Luce."
I blushed and looked at Natsu in surpris, but he just turned around and left. I looked after him, sighed and turned back to red Erza. We all laughed because of Erza blushing, she cleared her throat and smiled at me.
"I've actually had another reason why I wanted to talk to you .."
I looked at Erza confused and she just grinned. Right now Jellal kicked the door and everybody greeted him and he smiled back. He looked around and when he looked at us and Erza his smile turned to a huge grin. He ran up to us and took me in an big hug. I screamed just as he swung me around.
"Lucy finally!"
He shouted with joy and I looked at my friends seeking for help. Erza just laughed and hugged Jellal and me.
"Um .."
I just said, and the confusion was written in my face. Jellal grinned and let us go. He jumped on the table where our friends were sitting confused. Nearly hitting of the drinks, but he didn't care.
"Minna listen!"
Everyone looked confused to Jellal, it was quiet and he just grinned. He held out his hand to Erza and she took his hand to go up to him. All eyes were on the couple as Jellal proclaiming with a loud voice:
"I want to finally introduce you, my beloved fiancée Erza!"
It was dead silent until everybody at once:
"WHAT!"
screamed.
Erza POV
I stood next to Jellal on the table and my breathing quickened. He had said it, he finally said it! My heart was beating so fast, it felt as if it would jump out of my chest. Jellal smiled at me tenderly and I couldn't hold my grin.
I had kept him waiting a long time ...
Flashback Erza POV
It was now a week ago since Lucy was gone. We all, so Team Natsu and I were sitting at our usual table and our mood was low. When suddenly the door was occurred (Everybody does) and we all stood up abruptly.
"Lucy! .."
Everybody screamed, but in front of us was someone in a cloak wrapped (As Future Lucy). Natsu and Happy still thought it would be Lucy jumped on the hidden figure in order to crush it in a hug. But the figure dodged at the right moment, so that Natsu and Happy fell with the head forward to the ground. With a 'Bumm' they fell to the ground and were knocked out. We all stared in shock at the two unconscious people. The figure looked at the two which lay on the ground unconscious and stepped over them and went up the stairs to the second floor. It was deadly quiet and everybody was totally confused. I quickly went to the two idiots and looked if they had weren't injured. After the shock faded, everybody spoke again about one topic. Was that Lucy? No one knew exactly who it was, the question was all written on their faces as Gajeel then said:
"That wasn't Lucy, the smell is different. It's an male."
We all looked even more confused at Gajeel but he ignored us and continued on eating his Metal. I just shook my head and stood up.
"I'm going upstairs and look ."
I spoke and went to the second floor. I knocked on masters door and when I heard master say, enter, I entered the room. I tough the mysteries man was with master, but he sat all alone in is room.
"Um master, who was the man before?"
I asked, Master smiled and handed me a letter. I looked at him confused, opened the letter and what I read confused me even more.
My beloved Erza, meet me at midnight by the Sakura tree (cherry tree)
In love ...
There was no name there, just a picture of a man in the cloak. I looked at the master and he smiled. I just wanted to ask what that means, but Master dismissed me with a hand gesture. I sighed and made my way down as the master spoke again:
"I would go to meet the man Erza and maybe you should wear a dress."
I turned around in surprise, but the door closed.
Time jump 11.55pm / 23:55
I was on my way to the Sakura tree and had followed master's advice. I was wearing a red knee-length dress, it was strapless and had ruffles at the end. In addition I had red high heels. I walked slowly up the hill and when I saw it, I just stood there shocked. Everything around the tree was decorated with roses, everywhere lantern lights and a quartet playing classical music. I just stood there, completely shocked and asked me who that man was.
'' You came ... ''
Did someone say behind me and I turned around abruptly.
'' Jellal! ''
I cried surprised and it took my breath away. He just smiled, I looked at him and could not help but smile back. Jellal was wearing a black suit and had a rose in his hand. He put the rose in my hair and gently touched my cheek, I blushed from his gentle touch. He took my hand and pulled me gently under the tree, there he went on his knees and said in a loud voice:
'' Erza Scarlert, I've known you for years. You saved and shown that there's love. You're all I ever wanted Erza and I ask you. Do you wanna Marry me?''
My breathing stopped, tears running down my cheek, everything was perfect and I loved Jellal long time. But I just shook his head. Jellal who smiled, froze and you could see the sadness in his eyes. He stood up to leave, but I took his hand and said:
'' No, I mean I want to marry you. But I can not right now. ''
He looked at me confused and I could see his hurt expression.
'' I love you, Erza, say it if you do not want to marry me. ''
He wanted to now turn around again, but I pulled him to me and kissed him. The kiss was warm and his taste filled my senses. I left him and whispered:
'' I love you, I love you, I love you Jellal! ''
He just looked at me and I could see that he didn't expected that. Our eyes were linked to each other and I took a deep breath. As I explained:
'' I can not marry you now because, when I'm marrying then only with my family nearby. But Lucy has been gone for weeks and I will not marry somebody without my little sister. I'm sorry and if you do not want to marry me anymore I understand. ''
He looked at me and said with a smile:
'' Erza, I love you! Your family is mine, and I know Lucy. She is like a little sister to me. We will wait until she is back. ''
I cried in joy and hugged him tightly.
