Hey guys! Really hoped you enjoyed the last chapter! R&R!

-RECAP-

"Hmmm, sharp girl. But how do you know that? It is because your still sensitive from the contract isn't it..."

I looked at Mr. Igneel and said "Does he know?...Know what you do, who you really are?"

looked back at me. "of course not. He doesn't even know I'm his father."


-AMU POV-

" wh..what?why?!" I yelled.

"why? Because he is only a mistress's child; but I love her too much to bring them into my mess."

I looked down…" why are you here? What have you come here for?"

"to meet you of course. Join the red dragon clan, Lucy."

I glare at Mr. Igneel " no! why does everyone want me so badly?! Why am I so special?! All I want is to live among normal humans!"

"but you were not born to be around normal humans Lucy! You were born for a reason, with such spiritual power you can control all clans if you want!"

"I…I never wanted that…I never did! "

"Face the facts Lucy! You can do this but you run away! You are a coward! Just like Natsu! Running away from YOU! "

Tears came down my cheeks…" if… if I do this… what will it bring me if I join the red dragon clan?"

"We are the strongest of the clans Lucy. We can protect you."

"No. I have already seen the future. It is bright. Many children will be powerful and exceed me."

looked at me with concerned eyes. "that is why we need you. You are the only one who can help those children. But right now, you are the most powerful. Take responsibility."

"No, I won't join a clan. I will be neutral. But I will need help. Choosing a clan will just be too hasty, the others will begin to wonder…I will help and be helped. That is my condition."

"So be it. I will call an emergency meeting with all clans." Mr. igneel turned and walked away.

"Oh! Wait mr. igneel! I… I already told Natsu who I am. Isn't it about time you tell him who YOU really are? "Mr. igneel stood where he stopped for a couple minutes and then turned his head and forced a smile..." yes. It seems so. Oh. And just call me igneel out of school." He turned again and walked into the shadows of the trees.

I stayed out for a few more hours and then returned home. I turned into the drive way and saw something. It was Natsu. I got out of the Lamborghini.

"Natsu… why are you here?"

"Lucy, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that to you! I...I was just so surprised I needed to be alone. Lucy please give me another chance!"

I stared at Natsu for a second then i hugged him.

"I'm sorry Natsu. Why did you have to love me? Why did you have to be involved in this…"

Natsu gave a confused look. "What?"

I just shook my head. "Forget it..Natsu. Please go home for tonight? It's late. We can talk tomorrow."

I turned to the front door and unlocked it. Suddenly, I felt warm arms around me.

" Lucy, what's wrong? Tell me..." I turned to see his concerned face. I brushed him off and went inside. Before closing the door, I whispered.." I'm sorry.."

** next morning, Wednesday**

**knock knock**

I opened my eyes and sat up. "who the hell?" I got out of bed and walked downs stairs to the front door. I peeked through the peep hole and found 5 men and women outside. Holy shit…it's the clans leaders. father…Igneel.

I opened the door. "what is going on here?"

Father stepped up." To have a meeting with YOU daughter." I opened the door wide enough and bowed as each clan leader walked in.

They all sat in the living room and I alone in the arm chair. "what is it that the clan leaders need me." I asked. Igneel talked first. " about your position in the clans. We have decided that you will have a specific mark tattooed onto you to prove your loyalty to all of us." I took a big gulp. "must we do that now?"

"yes" Father instantly said. He pulled out an old box,it was an ancient tattoo set.

"well then…in that case I want it on my collar bone…" I slipped my shirt off and a woman stepped up to prepare the set.

At first it only pricked, but then it started throbbing. The tattoo was slowly forming as the hours went by.

** knock knock**

I turned to the door. The woman smacked my head. "don't move!"

Igneel laughed little and got out of his chair to open the door. When he did, Natsu was standing there. "M… ? What are you doing here?"

Igneel stood there with a blank face. "shit"
