Laxus POV

I sat in my office on the second floor for a while, not wanting to be bothered with trivial nonsense. The guild was quiet, only soft murmurs could be heard. There was a loud crash downstairs and I jumped from my seat and bolted to the second floor railing.

A beaten and bloody Natsu laid in the center of the guild hall. I growled. "How could Luce have loved a bastard like you? And to think she trusted Lisanna like one of her on family. You are not my kid sister, she died the day Elfman attempted a full body take-over. You aren't the sweet little girl who came her with her brother and sister. Scum, trash, asshole. If I had the choice, I would have you excommunicated." I shot a bolt of lightning at him, shocking him to the edge of unconsciousness.

Loke soon appeared and kicked Natsu one last time before looking up at me and winked. "It's about time you told her. As her spirit, I can tell who her bloodline is. I'm just not allowed to tell anyone." He smirked at me.

"Wendy, you are forbidden to heal Natsu. No one is allowed to aid him in the healing process. Anyone caught helping Natsu, will be punished by Gramps. Everyone understand that?" They all nodded at my threat. "Good. As for you, Lisanna. You are forbidden to leave the guild hall without Elfman or Mira. I'm sure you'll get your punishment from them, and when you are here you will be under the watch of Elfman, Mira, Cana, and Macao. No jobs. No magic. Understood?" I snapped. I got agreeing nods from the people I named while Lisanna shook with rage in her seat.

Gramps stood next to me, giving me a curt nod to show his approval. "This life is not full of happy endings, Laxus. I do hope that Lucy will find hers."

"Same here, Gramps. She deserves it for once. To think she trusted him. You think she'll be like Mom? Or will she fight her problems?"

"You've watched her grow just as long as I have, son. I believe that Layla would have stayed if it was not for Ivan. Terrible man he is. I cannot believe he is my own blood. He cast out your mother, and your unborn sister, to fend for themselves. Though, Ivan and Layla were never married, I do believe she loved him with all her heart. Even after the incident. She raised you well until everything hit the fan and she was forced to leave. She would be proud of how far you've come, Laxus. Just as she would be of Lucy."

"You think she'll be fine at Sabertooth? With Sting and Rogue? What about Minerva and Orga? And that Rufus guy? I know she'll be fine with that other Celestial Mage, but I can help but worry." I murmured.

"That's understandable, Laxus. She's family. We worry for each other no matter what. Though, I do believe she will be perfectly fine at Sabertooth. From what Jiemma told me, Minerva is really excited to have Lucy over there. Yukino plans on giving Lucy her keys since she is leaving Sabertooth to go see her sister. Something about learning a new magic. I believe the Dragon Slayers will behave. Lucy can be terrifying when she needs to be. Who knows she might even find new love there."

I nodded in understanding. "I hope so. And when she does, I hope it isn't another asshole. She deserves happiness for once in her lifetime. I want it to be someone strong enough to hold her heart tightly and not break it. And if he were to die, she could still be happy living on his memory and in spirit watching over her. That's what her love should be doing." I stated wistfully.

"Who knew you could be so poetic, Laxus?" Gramps teased.

I scowled at him. "Shut up, old man. That's my little sister out there. She's fucking adorable, who knows what could happen to her…"

"We all share your concern, Laxus." Mira piped up as she walked over to us. She sat down next to me and laid her head on my shoulder. "We are all devastated to see her get her heart broken and then forced to go face Sabertooth by herself. We're all scared for her. It's been three days, Laxus, and not a word. Do you think she's dead? Or maybe hurt? What if they won't let her contact us?"

"Calm down, woman. She's fine. She sent a thought projection last night. Apparently Rufus taught it to her in exchange for a fight. She's alive because she won. Fairies don't go down easily, you know this." I laid my head on hers. "She'll do just fine. Especially because she has power flowing in her bloodline. My only worry is that if dad gets a hold of her. She's still fairly young he could…" I trailed off as I traced my scar lightly. Horrible images and disturbing sounds crashed into my mind. First the crooked smile my father wore and then mom yelling at him to stop. Lastly was my bloodcurdling scream as he shoved the lacrima in my head, right over my right eye…

"Laxus…" Mira whispered. I looked away from them all.

"Leave me be, woman." I stood and left the guild, remembering I had to go meet a Blue Pegasus Playboy at the station. I grumbled about my luck and snarled at the onlookers as I zapped myself into the station.

"Oh Laxus-san! Hello!"

I looked down a little blonde boy shorter than me. He looked up at me with large eyes. "Come on, kid. Let's go." We began walking towards the guild in silence as I sifted through my thoughts. Lucy will be fine. I gave her a communication lacrima awhile back, she'll call if she needs me.

"Laxus-san, will Lucy-nee be there? I wish the rumors to be false. Is she really going to Sabertooth?"

I looked down at the kid. "Yeah, kid. She was requested. They would like to make amends with her. That's what they said… Besides she's strong. She can handle herself." I said proudly.

"Are you two dating? You seem really upset over this…" The kid asked.

I did a double take. "Hell no kid! That's my sister! That's sick!" I spat at the kid. "You got some guts asking that."

"S-Sorry Laxus-san!" The kid stuttered. "I just thought…"

"It's fine kid. Let's just welcome you to the guild." I kicked open the doors. "We're here!"

"WELCOME TO FAIRY TAIL, EVE-KUN!"

So here's the next chapter!

What do you guys think will happen to Lucy at Sabertooth? Let me know!

R&R Thanks!
