"Fairy Tail Resistance" chapter 3
I grumbled as I walked out of my OWN room towards the kitchen. What happened exactly, you may ask? THEY KICKED ME OUT OF MY ROOM! MY ROOM! I kept fuming over this little trivial thing. Sure, they told me that I didn't use that bed but what when I'm sick? I used to use that bed!
The girls decided that this woman should stay in that bed and that they were going to separate us with some blankets, making it a tent. Of course, I was against it; but one of Erza's glare can shut even the most talkative of all. Another reason was for me to keep a close watch on her.
So it was settled. She would stay in that room with me and Happy until we could resolve if she will stay or if she should be executed. Though, I doubt Levy and Erza will let me kill her since those she-soldiers where all happy and shit with this stranger. I still had my doubts.
I sighed. Yeah, this was troublesome. I feel like it's been a long day when it hasn't even been a day! It's not even night! I kept on walking around the halls until I reached the stairs to the ceiling. I knew Romeo would be out of his post, it was his lunch hour and knowing him, he would be with Wendy. It was going to be lonely, which was perfect because I had to go up there and plan some stuff, and some time to think.
Up here, I took a sitting by the roof of the ceiling's building. I crossed my legs and started to think. Which is weird. I let all the thinking to the others. I had to do some rules about this Lucy girl. And who could she be? She might be somebody. We needed to do some interrogations to her. And take Freed's truth machine. Probably Evergreen might help me here since she likes to play good cop, bad cop. I went on and on with even the problems of invading the castle of Raven Tail. But was suddenly interrupted.
"Um… hey…"
I looked up to see the blond chick that has caused a bit of a wreck with Levy and Erza "Hey yourself. What are you doing out?"
"Ah! Well… Erza asked me to come get you. She was a bit worried."
"Hm."
"So…" she sat beside me, probably afraid of being on the highest rooftop on the place "Why are you out here instead of inside there?"
"Hm. I don't know. Why are you out here while you're supposed to be inside there?"
"Touché."
We lay there in silence as we stared at the sun. I shifted my legs to be dangling now on the border and support myself with my arms. Yeah… this silence wasn't that uncomfortable… but it wasn't either comfortable. I could see as she fidgeted a bit with her hands probably wondering what to talk about to break the silence. I sighed once again.
"Okay, talk it up. What's in your mind?"
She looked at me startled but later calmed a bit. Good. Defenses low "Well… I was wondering… that you don't look that older than me; so I was thinking… how did you become the leader…?"
The girl got gills, I give her that. I expected her to get all bawling up and crying after all the times I've scared her like Gajeel used to scare Wendy. And here she is. Asking me some question that it should actually be in some weird freakish kind of, the other way around. So, either she's planning something, or is really, really smart or really, really dumb. Mind as well tell the story, since she ain't living much.
"The past commander, Makarov, was KIA while in one of the missions. He passed the command to me, instead of his grandson. He was at first really angry but with a fight between us, as in a brawl where it was decided with blood and more than often death, I won. So he was to either live in exile or stay with me and assure him that if I died he would be my successor. He must be waiting for my death for a long time."
She eyed me a bit weird. "huh… so that's the story. And the others; they were okay with that?"
I nodded. "Yeah. Makarov's words was the law. It is still the law since I base my commanding self by him.
"That's nice."
We came to be in silence, until I noticed her staring at my pink hair "I bet that hair is not natural." She smirked.
Or maybe she is suicidal.
"No, my hair is this natural pink, taken by my parents." I glared a bit.
"Sure." She stretched the letters in that four lettered word. Yep. Testing the limits. So she isn't that ignorant.
"Yeah. My dad was the best. He actually had red hair and my mom was white haired. So maybe the fusion and stuff came like this. Or so I was told. I only got to meet my dad for a short time before he was also killed by the same killer as my mom years ago. So I don't remember them that much physically." I muttered the last words.
She became sad. "Oh…"
"yeah. Now, don't go all 'I'm sorry your parents are dead and mines are alive', cause I'm way past-."
"My mom died… when I was ten. And my dad basically treated me like shit, reason why I escaped home. So I won't comment or something you hotheaded douche."
Excuse me?
"I mean, why should we be stuck in the past if it ain't going to help us."
Hm… "Sure but, it does help us push us."
"How is it going to push us?"
"I could say… that probably if it weren't yer dear ol' mommy died when you were seven, probably you wouldn't even been here. Probably you would've been at your house drinking tea at the porch. Instead of being all dirtied and thrown to fend off."
She got her eyes widened.
"Yeah, I could tell you were some richy noble girl. Your family must be putting missing papers on the carton milk's sides."
The girl looked down. "It was only me and my dad… and he never loved me… he as all full of hatred towards me. So I got no choice of just jumping out." Tears were coming out of her eyes, as I noticed some small drops fall
"Well, we are all standing on a rooftop ready to fall, after all…" I used the metaphor my dad had told me one time… I remember that like as if it was yesterday… probably because it was in this same spot…
She looked up, with those brown glasses of her, and started to smile a bit, probably understanding what I had told her. She giggled a bit by the saying and the place we were. I stood up, and handed her a hand, so she could get up. Yeah… maybe she was trustworthy… Maybe this… was the beginning of a new friendship… I smiled at her.
"Come on, let's go eat. You must be hungry since you look like you haven't eaten in ages!"
She flinched a bit, but I acted as if I didn't noticed. "Y-yeah. Let's go. I'm starving."
I grinned widely now. "Then let's go!"
And as the sun began to fall, the rising of my companionship with Lucy began. I couldn't say we were friends now, but I could say we could be best friends in some days. She seems like the kind of good girl that all the moms want for their sons. Maybe this was my way of following my never known mom's feeling… And my dad's approval of wanting me to have a normal life. Which was difficult in such circumstances.
Yeah… things are looking up. Thank you Igneel…
WHAT!? This popular it's getting?! I can't believe this! *faints*
I want to thank each and every one of you! Also, wanted to clear some stuff, Happy and Carla are both human kids. There is no magic in this story. They are just cat fanatics.
Also, I never realize the pun of Lucy being at Natsu's bed. But I love how you guys took it! It brought me so much joy seeing this!
Oh, And yes, I know the NaLu is being a bit slow, but that's why we've got Cana, Lucy, and Mirajane for this. They will help greatly in this.
I was inspired to write this chapter with some Rise Against songs "Ready To Fall" and "Prayer of a Refugee" ( which was the song Happy was humming on last chapter). Coheed and Cambria's "Devil in Jersey City" (Probably because of the "Scream Josephine" part. XD), "The Velorum Camper II: The Backened of Forever", and my all time favorite "A Favor House Atlantic" (squeals).
Finally! I felt like writing a chapter like this one. One in which Lucy might Cry, Natsu might cry, and some new info came! To tell the truth, I wanted to give this info on next chapter, but couldn't wait. But not to worry, more secrets will come ~3
Did anybody felt it was rushed or was it me? Or as if it was short even if it was over 1,000 words?
Ciao, bell !
