Hey, guys! I haven'y been updating in a while because I have my exams coming up soon, and although I don't need to study, I'm really stressed out! I started to get so many new ideas for this story, that I had to get started right away! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo pumped, and I hope you like this new chapter
Previously:
"I don't like him"
" Laxus, I feel that if a creation from the Underworld just attacked me, then all of these occurences have something to do with the Underworld, and if we are constantly moving about, we will never get to the bottom of this!"
" Alright, we'll join"
Chapter 3: Beginning
Lucy's P.O.V.
We followed Christian through the tow I had origanally planned to go to, Kilous, where his guild was conveiniently located. We walked through many twisting turns, and said nothing the entire way. The only thing I could hear was Laxus's mumbling. Eventually, I was looking up at a 3-story building. Christian kicked the door open
" Lucy, Thunder-head, welcome to my guild, Cross Sword!" Christian announces
" It's tall!" I beam
" You're just short" Laxus huffs. I glare up at him with a pout
" I am not! You're just abnormally tall!" I shout up at him, then turn back to Christian, who leads me inside like a gentlman. A girl bounds up to us, she has blue hair, but has the same set of eyes as Christian- peircing green orbs. He hugged her tight. She had a purple mark on her left arm, and had dirty blonde hair
" Lucy, This is my little sister, Mariana! Mari, this is Lucy! She and this jerk want to join." Chris says, jabbing his thumb at Laxus
" Right here, y'know." Laxus waved as though Chris couldn't see him. Chris just scoffed
" Hi! It's nice to meet you! Welcome to Cross Sword!" She beams "This is our guild mark!" She tells me, pointing to the lavender mark on her shoulder ( A/N: I have a picture of Mariana up on my Deviant . Art account, along with Christian, for those who still haven't seen him)
" It's cool!" I exclaim, staring at the mark,
" How old are you?" I ask her, since she looks about the same age as Christian
" I'm 14, and I'm turning 15 next week!" She exclaims. We start to talk away, walking from Christian and Laxus
Laxus's P.O.V.
I watched Lucy walk off with Christian's little sister, when Christian actually started up a conversation
" So, Thunder-head, what's your relationship with Lucy? She seemed hesitant to call you her 'friend' when I saved her." Okay, so he TRIED. I felt dissapointment that Lucy doesn't exactly think of me as a friend.
" I've been ordered by my grandfather to accompany her on her-" I paused. I couldn't tell him about Lucy "-expedition." That sounded about right
" So I get first dibs, eh?" He asks me with a smirk, and I can feel something flare up in my chest, and I glare at him
" Hold on, there. No one ever said that." I growl
" You don't wanna mess with a Titan Slayer, bud." He glares back
" You don't wanna mess with a Dragon Slayer, Mr. Cherry head."
" Remember how I saved her from cerberus, and you were nowhere to be seen." He fires back
" Remember this is OUR expedition, and YOU were not invited." I shoot at him, my teeth grinding as our heads clash. Fire flows around him, and lightning sparks around me.
" Christian, get your ass up here!" A blue-haired guy calls from the second floor balcony
" What do you want, Carr?" Christian asks, turning from me and dropping his glare. The man called 'Carr' just looked down with a glare
" Master Jero wants you. Now." He demands, and Christian speeds up the stairs, leaving me to try and find Lucy i the crowd of random guild members that belong to Cross Sword
Master Jero's P.O.V.
The moment Christian brought that blonde-haired girl into my guild, I could feel it. She's one of them. She can restore the world! Now, if only we could find the other two-
" Master, I am here. What's wrong?" Christian inturrupts my train of thought, shutting the door to my office behind him.
" Did you invite the two blondes here?" I ask with a stern tone.
" Y-yes. They want to join." He says with a sudden confidence
" They cannot." I turn to the window behind my desk
" Wha-? Why not?" He asks me with anger. I turn towards him with a dark aura
" Do you have any idea who they are?" I ask him with an even darker tone
" Yes. Laxus Dreyar and Lucy, who is quite the looker." He exclaims, shying at the last part. Shock befalls me
" We must get them away from here! Fetch me the girl you call Lucy!" I yell at him as I feel a familiar prescence of darkness. I know who this is. I swore to him to protect her. Christian rushes out
" Carr! In here!" I order. He comes in
" yes, sir?" He asks in a salute
" We will be free within the year." I smile at him, which is extremely rare. I dig into my desk drawer, and pull out a cloak
" You will return to the captain of the gaurd, Carr." I toss him the cloak
" Lord... I will return." He smiles back, and swings the cloak over his shoulders, buttoning the fastners on the front. The back of the cloak has a trinity circle. One circle has a flame, another has an ice shard, and the third and biggest circle has an electrified key. The symbol of Eroif, and the Trinity Warriors. Just then, Christian comes in with a blonde-haired young lady. I recognize her as more than just a warrior. But as the small girl I once knew. I could see her flinch, as something seemed to run through her mind. I hugged her
" It really is you, Lucille Layla Hera."
Sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted to get it out as soon as possible, and this seemed like a good place to stop at. See you in the next chapter!
Preview: Chapter 4: First of Them
" Wait! I can't leve without Laxus!" I called out as they pushed me through the dimmly lit area
" We must! He can take care of himself, but we must keep you safe, My Lady!" Captain Carr insisted, trying to drag me back from the trapped door " You're our only hope to bring back the kingdom that once was!"
" I don't know what that is, but I am not Lucille Layla Hera! I have not once heard that name in my-" A strong hedache struck me, and I saw a white church, where a small child was being baptized by... an angel!
