Chapter 9: Father-daughter issues about the GMG's and encounters from boys?

Lucy's POV (at the training hall outside the castle with Levy, Wendy, Starlla and Snow)

"AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I yelled as I prepare myself to destroy another swinging well-carved solid ice ball that was hanging from the ceiling. My palms are open and bended my fingers , one palm was upside down, as the hanging ice ball was approaching, I destroyed it with pure anger.

" Lu chan, I think you had enough training for one week. I think you're a bit intense than Mira and Erza combined." Levy said, a bit nervous about what she said. I performed a back flip and landed in front of them.

I've been training for a week since father never let me go to the guild after the encounter with Natsu's kiss, Dominic's return, Alexander's greeting and Sting's kiss. Me and Dad got into a father-daughter argument. He's too overprotective of me. I know he still bears the pain of Mom's death.

" I didn't know that Dad will know about that encounter. But he still wants me to go back to Dominic." I said to them when petting my pet Dragon named Sphinx. Sphinx is a dragon with horns. She is medium sized and has a purple scales, her back has and her tail produces a very powerful electric shock that can paralyze the victim for only 1 week. She also grows powerful wings. Every time I visited Dad and the others, she wants to have a flight with me around the castle.

"Well, Dad knew that we broke up but he wants me to have a peaceful normal life with him." I clutched an axe an threw it towards the training statue and It stick.

Dad, I'm not a child anymore. Please be more like Mom. I know it's hard for both of us to lose Mom.

Meanwhile

Dracula's POV in Dracula's studies

"Layla, what's wrong with me? It's like I'm being cursed by my sin after you died. I can't let Lucy go due to her unlimited supply of strength, anger and magic. She's too destructive and powerful at her age. I fear about her being unstable because of her abilities." I said as I looked at the full body painting of me and Layla. She looked beautiful as the day before I lost her. She wore a beautiful black dress with long sleeves with frills. Her nails are painted with black nail polish. She wore light make up and her hair is tied into a long side braid and she wore the same necklace of Lucy, a color changing gem. She looked beautiful as the day we confessed our feelings to each other. I still remember the day she told me she's pregnant of Lucy.

Flashback 28 years ago ( still Dracula's POV )

' I wonder what's wrong with Layla today, Maybe I should ask her what's wrong.' I asked myself and walked towards her. I lightly tapped her shoulder and sat down beside her. Then silence was formed until I spoke.

" Layla, what's wrong?"

" Um…. Do you remember the night we um…. You know?"

" Yes. But, what's the problem?"

" I think I might be pregnant. You know, cause we've done it. "

My heart suddenly stopped and I felt my soul leave my body. Layla's pregnant with MY child!

Then Layla started to cry saying that I might not like the baby and left her to raise her on Layla's care. I hugged her gently and told her soothing words that might calmed her down.

" Don't worry Layla, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you and the baby, I promise."

Days passed then weeks and now it's been 3 months, then Layla and I decided to visit Corazon, the trustful, sweet yet scary 300 year old witch.

" Ah, Layla It's so good to see ya." She then smiled at my sweet Layla with her so-called motherly persona. Then she looked at me.

" The blood-sucking maniac came." I got irritated with that attitude. Then Layla groan in pain as I held her gently.

" Hmm…. I have sense the baby has a large amount of unstable magic. It might lose control it ability to control her abilities as she grow older. You should be careful you two. Your child's powers are far dangerous like the legendary black mage."

'Zeref…'

"Wait, what do you mean she?" Layla asked with curiosity. Corazon looked at her with pure glee. Creepy.

"You're having a baby girl."

TIMESKIP (Evening)

A baby girl. It's been my dream to have a beautiful baby girl and wife. I looked at Layla's sleeping face. A smile was formed on my face as I climbed the bed and lay down next to Layla. I wrapped my arms around her so she won't fall.

'I promised you Layla, I won't let anything happen to you and our child. We can be a one big happy family.'

As I fell asleep…

Flashback ends

'I won't let anything happen to her like 'it' happened to you, Layla.' I thought as I found myselfin front of the training hall. I took a deep breath and pushed the wooden double doors only to reveal Lucy alone.

"Lucy, there's something I should tell you."

"What is it, Father?"

"Well since you're now 121, I think you should join the GMG's."

Her face lit up. "Really, Dad? I could join the Tournament?" I nodded. She crushed me with a bone crushing hug.

"Now you go out there and prove to them that you're not the weak Lucy they know. But don't encounter boys ."

"Thanks Dad." As she left the training hall and jumped in excitement.

'It feels like old times when you were here, Layla. Sweet memories.'

Somewhere….

A beautiful young woman at the age of 50. Sitting down and watching the sunset with a large beast beside her.

"It's been 22 years since I left my family. Maybe they forgot all about me. I think it's for the best to stay away so they'd be safer if I did."

Hi! It's me again

So in this story, Dracula's overprotective personality towards Lucy suddenly disappeared since he remembered the promise he said to Layla before 'it' happened.

The years:

17 (Lucy's teenage age) + 4 ( years of training) = 21 (Lucy's current human age)

17 (Lucy's debut age)+ 4 (years of training) + 7 (seven year time skip)= 28 (years before Lucy's birth)

50 (Mysterious lady's current age) – 28 = 22 (years of disappearance)

28 + 22 = 50 (Mysterious lady's current age) (Formerly 19)

Ok to all my fans, you all need to answer 4 simple trivia questions from this story only.

Question#1

What is the species of the pet of Lucy adopted and what is the gender of it? And describe it.

Question#2

What did Dracula describe about the witch and what is her name?

Question#3

Who is the mysterious lady that appeared at the last part of the story and what does she mean by " It's been 22 years since I left my family. Maybe they forgot all about me. I think it's best to stay away so they'd be safer if I did."?

And finally

Question#4

What is the connection of Lucy's powers and Zeref's?

So that's all. The answers will be published with the next chapter: 'A dark secret'

And the fans who got the correct answers will be the person/s who will help me find a name for Lucy's child/children's name in the story ' Got to believe in magic'

HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
