Chapter six: Violet Purple!
Natsu's POV
The whole evening was amazing with Lucy. She was so beautiful, I couldn't take my eyes off her. My heart was beating like crazy when she wrapped her arms around my neck and got even closer to me.
After what seemed like hours of dancing she had finally gone to sit down and rest, I guess.
She looked so pretty tonight I'm super glad I'm her escort or what ever you call it. "Other than your feet hurting, have you been having a good time, Luce!?" I asked as she turned in the seat. "Other than my feet... yes I've been having an amazing time Natsu, especially since I got to have you as my escort!"
She smiled a rather large smile that made my breath hitch. Her browns eyes were sparkling in the pale light that gathered from the lamps in the guild. My eyes traveled down to her plump lips. I wanted to... I want to...
We had locked eyes and time seemed to have stopped. The noise around us seemed to have disappeared, and my heart was pounding against my chest as if it were going to burst in any second.
The only people in the room seemed to be only Lucy and I.
Our faces got closer with each passing second, until we were centimeters apart... our lips were about to touch when she suddenly stopped, her eyes had glazed over.
She jerked back.
Lucy sat there for a moment before stood up and walked away from me and the table. "Lucy? Hey Lucy, what are ya doing." I called after her but she obviously didn't here me.
I guess I was the only one who saw Lucy walk off in a daze because nobody seemed to notice.
I watched from my seat as she walked by a dark corner of the guild. Her lips then started moving as if she were talking to someone. Weirdo! Using my inhuman hearing I listened to what a she was saying.
"Hello?" It's not like anyone was there.
"Hello..." a timid voice spoke. There was someone there! No way.
"Hi! I'm Lucy Heartfilia I'm a celestial spirit Mage, and you are?" Why was she telling this person who she was and what magic she did.
A girl then emerged from the dark, a girl I've never seen before. She dark purple hair, but it was nothing like Laki's hair. She had on a purple one shoulder dress and hazel eyes.
Who is this chick?
Lucy's POV
"Um... it's very nice to meet you, Violet. Did you recently join Fairy Tail?" On the outside I was perfectly calm looking, but in the inside I was freaking out.
"Actually I haven't joined yet, but I plan on it." In a way she reminded me of Aries.
"I can take you to master If you'd like, Violet?" Her small pink lips tuned into a toothy smile. "That would be very nice of you Lucy-chan." I took her tiny hand and walked up the guild stares where master was sitting on the railing.
"Master," his gaze turned toward me instead of the loud rambunctious guild below. You know I thought it was supposed to be a classical ball not some club!
"This is Violet Purple she'd like to to join the guild and after may I please talk to you, please?" Violet stood in front of me as she smiled timidly at master. "Well of course you can join our guild. Mira!" I looked down to the crowded floor and watched as Mira made her way up the stairs.
"Yes master?" She asked a smile plastered on her pretty face.
"May you please take our newest member of the guild to get her emblem, please?" "Sure thing master!" Grabbing Violet's wrist she dragged her down the stairs to the bar.
"Now Lucy, what did you want to talk to me about?" I had previously told the whole guild my situation with the 'spirits of the colorful sky'. "Master! She's a spirit, a 'spirit of the colorful sky'!" His eyes widen as I told him.
"Are you sure Lucy?" "Positive. She wields the power of music and her last name is purple and her first name is Violet I'm pretty sure she's the real deal!" "And I felt this connection, I was... doing something when all of a sudden all I could see were music symbols clouding my vision. I couldn't even control my body or my voice, then when I saw her face I came out of my trace. I know she's one of them." I said as I became breathless from speaking.
He nodded his head a few times before making me look him in the eyes with his hand. "If there as powerful as you say they are, keep an I on her Lucy, okay." I nodded before walking back down stairs.
I was almost toppled over by an excited Violet.
"Lucy-chan look, I got my emblem! Thank you for helping me get in." Her smile was slightly bigger than her other smiles where her lips only pricked at the sides. Her right leg out slightly and you could see on the outside of her calve was a Violet colored Fairy Tail emblem.
"It was no problem really. Do you have a place to stay?" Her smile vanished completely from her small face. "No I don't, when I arrived in Magnolia I heard that the Fairy Tail guild was hosting a ball so I came her as soon as possible from the train station, and I flat out broke."
Her face was hidden with her bangs as her head lowered.
"You can stay with me until you land on your feet if you want? I'll take you on jobs so we can get the money you need." She lifted her head and smiled the usual smile she always hand from the moment I met her fifteen minuets ago.
"Really? Thank you Lucy-San!" Seconds later was being embraced from the young girl.
"Come on we can go back to my place I just have to take care of something before we go, okay." She unwrapped her arms from around my torso and sat in one of the bar chairs.
I scrambled through the crowd of people to get my way to warren.
"Warren can you use your telepathy for a moment please, but only to Natsu, Mira, Erza, Lisanna, Evergreen, Gray, Juvia, Happy, Carla, Wendy, Gajeel, PantherLily, Cana, Bisca, Alzack, and Levy. Please!" Adding a smile at the end.
Warren simply node holding two fingers to his head he began the telepathy.
"Minna! It's me Lucy. I just found the first 'spirit of the color sky'! I can't believe it, I'm freaking out! Anyway I need you guys to treat her like everyone else in the guild. Remember she doesn't remember being a spirit let alone one of the most powerful and first of the celestial beings."
I heard a series of 'okay's' and 'of course' and Happy's 'aye!'
"Thanks Warren." He smiled and canceled out the message.
Back at the bar I saw Mira talking to Laxus and Violet.
"Mira I must take my leave with Violet, please tell Natsu that I'm going home and not to come there." Mira nodded and Laxus lead her to the dance floor.
"Come on Violet, were going to my place." "Yes Lucy-chan."
And with that we left the ball.
TIMESKIP-_-AT LUCYS HOUSE
I unlocked the door and lead Violet in while switched on the light.
"You have a very pretty home Lucy!" She gushed as she laid flat out on my bed her arms sparwled out across the mattress, heels in her left hand.
"You can borrow a pair of pj's from me," pausing I grabbed white pj pants and a plain black crop to shirt that I wore in the hot days of summer, "here wear these, I'll get you something to eat you must be starving." I grabbed my pink silk pj shorts and a white crop top shirt identical to the black one.
I went to the bathroom, shutting the curtain I stripped from the dress and heels and slipped on the shorts and crop top. Instead of taking out the bun I left it in with the bangs still hanging on each side of my face.
I left the bathroom to see Violet sitting on the couch with the cloths I gave her on her petite body.
Looking at her face she had that same emotionless face.
I went to the kitchen making her a turkey, cheese and pickle sub. Picking up a glass of milk for her also I headed back to the other room.
I sat on the my bed as she got up from the couch and sat in front of me. She crossed her legs so she was sitting indian style.
I placed the plate in front of her and put the milk on the window sill.
"So what's your life story, I mean everyone who comes to join a guild all have a story for why their there?" She looked up from her sand which. She chewed and swallowed before answering my question.
"Well... I was adopted at the age of 2 from a very nice family. After a couple of years my mother finally became pregnant. After nine months I had a baby brother... that's when they started ignoring me, they never spoke to me anymore. I was completely forgot when I eight."
"I fell in love with music, I don't know what it was but I felt as if I've had the power to do anything with music."
"When I was nine I ran away from that wretched place. They had started treating me as a slave, I couldn't take it anymore!"
"Place after place I was asked to go home when it became dark out side. I would nod to them and smile but, inside I knew I had no home to go to, I want to go home but nobody's home!"
Tears fell from her hazel eyes when she finished.
"I'm sorry Violet-" she cut me off. "Don't be, it's fine." She wiped the tears from her face and reached over to the window sill and grabbed the milk.
The crop top lifted when she leaned over and revealed a clef.
"Hey where did you get that?" She looked down at the clef that was on her left of her stomach. "Oh, I was born with it I guess."
She gulped down the rest of her milk and got up from the bed.
"Where are you going?" She picked up her plate and walked to the kitchen curtain. "I'm just putting the plate and cup in the sink for you." "Thank you Violet." She returned only seconds later.
"Well I'm getting pretty tired Lucy, goodnight." She said in her small voice.
She headed over to the couch and laid down.
"Hey what are you doing, you can sleep here with me, my friends usually sleep her with me, well my girl friends anyway, your no different your my friend Violet." She smiled one of those big smiles and jumped up back onto the bed.
"Goodnight Violet."
"Goodnight Lucy."
Snuggling into the warm covers I got to thinking.
Yes Violet is sweet, innocent, and looks like a happy girl with that innocent look of hers, but deep down inside she was hurting.
She needed something that was nothing to sin for.
She wanted a family she never had.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home! It's where she lies broken inside!
She belongs here with me and everyone else in the guild. We're her family now!
