So, Let's the story begin...
Chapter Four: Rivals
The stars shimmered and winked within the ebony sky.
Like a long cloud of mystical dust.
Lucy spun around under the stars, wondrously entranced by the sight.
"I hoped you would like them. You seemed like a girl who'd reach for the stars, despite whatever obstacles may befall her. Was my assumption correct?"
Lucy lowered her arms and sighed after a long pause. She then turned to the Fullbuster.
Her hair blew in the opposite direction, fanning out in the breeze. Her eyes shimmered, putting the stars to shame.
'A rabbit of the moon' he thought.
"I would reach for the stars Lord Fullbuster…. But I had always fallen short. There is no place for a girl like me except a brothel or," she gave a small chuckle "a maid."
Lucy turned back into the stars. "I always dreamed that I wouldn't be Lucy the orphan, but Lucy the wife, Lucy the Lady, Lucy… The Queen…"
Lucy's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "But you needn't remember that. It's a preposterous dream created by the musings of a young, naive child."
Strong arms rested on the young girl's shoulders. "And you think that just because I have money and status, I have attained all of my dreams?" He looked to the sky. "My parents died when I was very young….no one was left in my family. My brother was a way at boarding school so I had no one else. I had to work and fight tooth and nail to get where I am today."
He looked deeply into Lucy's eyes. "I tried hard to make it happen and I did. Now, there's only one thing more that I need."
Lucy bustled about, tending to minor chores given to her.
She couldn't get the night's events out of her head. He wanted something more than what he already possessed. Something that he couldn't win over with money or authority.
"Lucy! We have a guest waiting for Lord Gray. Are you up to keeping them company whilst I go fetch him?"
Lucy snapped out of her reverie and nodded. "Who is it Lissana?"
She shook her head. "It be that wicked lass from the day before. I swear, she waltzes in like she owns the place then sets about threatening every woman in the manor. What I wouldn't give to clock her one at least once!"
With that, the white-head rushed away, leaving Lucy to tend to her.
"Well… Lady Lucy… How nice to see you once more. You're keeping your boundaries with Lord Gray I trust?"
Lucy did not meet her gaze. "I am his personal maid. The boundaries are for him to decide, not me."
"Good little maids don't back-sass the company. You stay away from Gray and there will be no trouble."
"Stay away? We live in the same home. I will have to keep seeing him to do my job." Lucy glared at her icily, "I suggest you cut these threats short because they mean nothing to me. If it is Lord Gray you want, you have no competition with me. I am happily engaged to a wonderful man and quite happy."
If you wouldn't have been watching directly, you probably would have missed it. Juvia lunged at Lucy and yanked her hair.
"Don't give me that cock-and-bull story! What woman wouldn't lust after that man! I can do things to you Lucy, terrible things! Do not toy with me! I will make your life a living hell from this day on!"
Juvia hurriedly rushed to her seat and fixed herself up just as the door opened. Gray walked in, his eyes widening. Lucy hadn't gotten up from the floor. She was so shaken from Juvia's maliciousness, she could find the strength.
"Lucy! Are you alright? What happened darling?"
He hurriedly bent down to pick up the shaken maiden. Juvia watched on, an equally shocked look plastered on her face.
"Lucy, please tell me what happened?"
Stammering, Juvia spoke up. "T-the poor dear, she fell while greeting me. The fall was so hard, the poor girl lost consciousness."
"Why didn't you call attendance Lady Juvia?"
"B-because! I-I was so shaken up! The fall looked really bad… It startled me."
Gray cradled the girl, who, goaded by Juvia's glares, could only agree.
"Y-yes. I was so clumsy… Tripped over my own feet…."
Lucy looked up at the Lady who only smiled wickedly, mouthing words that made her go pale.
Too violent? I hope not. Well, we'll see where this so-called rivalry goes.
Enjoy the Story? Please review... See next Chapter...
