Yay! I'm so happy for all of the positive reviews! :D I couldn't stop smiling, it's all thanks to you guys who are supporting me that I write! Thanks and here is Chapter 10, the long awaited one.
Chapter 10
Lucy stared in shock as the doors to the new guild banged open to reveal a familiar figure.
"Venus?" She spoke it confused. Why would someone from Fairy Tail, the people who thought she was horrible, come and find her?
Lucy received a nod before she was smothered in a hug from the second pink haired girl.
"You have no idea how long I've been looking for you!" Venus said drawing the blonde away from her as the wet trails left her cheeks, "I don't believe you did what they said you did!"
Lucy couldn't help but smile a watery grin, "That's because I never did"
.
Light steps could be made out as Onix and Demon Tears newest sister came down from the third floor. The bluette stopped abruptly at the sight of the unknown person.
"Who's this?"
"This is Venus. An old friend of Fairy Tail. She left because she thinks I'm innocent" Lucy explained gesturing to the pinkette.
Onix's pale face lit up as a thought struck her, "Hey Venus. I'm Onix. Since you left Fairy Tail that means you don't belong to a guild right?"
She got a reluctant nod.
"Well, how would you like to join Demon Tears?"

Time Skip
The four girls gaped at the amount of shopping bags had been dragged through the door.
Iris, Anya, Princess, Ruki and Rose giggled and hauled the items over their shoulders and raced to the room they were in charge of.
Eden merely shrugged whilst Memory charged towards Angeline and started up a conversation. Onix smiled brightly and disappeared behind the bar and searched for the rack of CD's she had hidden there. Finding one, she placed it in the CD drive and turned on the Amps which were in each corner of the tavern.
(Put on whatever song you like, I don't mind :D)
The music blasted through the area and made each girl get up on a table and dance, except Eden who read in the corner, tapping her foot to the beat with a slight smile on her face.

The next day was Friday. Meaning that they had to prepare the guild for the open night. Sunlight streamed in through Lucy's bedroom curtains, waking her up. The room had been decorated in two colours, much like the others. Two black wall, two white walls with a dark wooden floor was what the two girls had chosen for theirs. Lucy's bed was gold whilst Onix's was purple.
"Onix, wake up it's morning" The blonde said tugging at her sister's blanket.
"Meaning it is not evening, so no" Came a muffled reply.
Rolling her eyes, the celestial mage pulled the Hex dispeller from her warm comfort and into the mild morning air.
...
"Remind me again. Why are we up at 9am?" Onix asked, brushing her bed hair away and pulling on todays clothes. The bluette was supporting a black, boob tube dress that came to her thigh. It was decorated with gold swirls that covered the chest area only.
"We're going to spread the word about the guild having an open bar" Lucy replied slipping on her red, spaghetti strap top with a denim mini-skirt.
.
They stood in the Clothing Room which had been stocked, thanks to Rosie. Grabbing matching heeled shin boots, they scurried down the spiral stairs that dropped them off in the kitchen. Onix decided to pick up an apple for herself and an orange for Lucy.
"Why an apple?"
"Can't stand the taste of oranges" The bluette shrugged pulling the guild doors open, revealing the vast, grassy area that belonged to them.
The line of trees hid them from view, but because of Onix wanting the guilds location to be a secret, it was understandable.
.
The town was busy, as always. Meaning it would be even harder to spread the news without being shoved away. Lucy made an uneasy face as they passed out fliers with directions to their home. And like they'd thought, they were either ignored or given a dirty look.
Onix was about to explode from the rudeness of the people when she had an idea, "Luce, I think we need to take bigger action. Call out that jack-ass flirt"
Knowing exactly who she meant, Loke appeared beside them in his usual, black suit, "Lucy...Onix" He had a scratch on his cheek from their last battle which hadn't healed. Considering he was a spirit and healed easily, Onix couldn't help but feel a boost of pride.
"We need you too woo the girls and get them interested in coming to our open bar tonight" Lucy instructed smiling.
"Anything for you" And he was off! The bluette had to marvel at his tactic, he was superb at picking up random girls and leaving them red in the face.
"Perve" Onix muttered before dragging the blonde to a cafe for breakfast.

Team Natsu
RavensCreak was quite the sight. Team Natsu were descending the streets when they spotted a group of people crowding around an old friend of theirs. Natsu ran up and tried to pry his way through the screaming girls.
"Loke?" His voice was loud and as confident as always.
The brunettes head snapped to the side, but merely continued his speech.
"My fair Ladies, please do take some time out of your Friday night to visit The Lunar Tavern today. It's their first open bar. I look forward to seeing you there my lovelies"
Immediately, three girls dropped down from a nose bleed whilst others swooned.
Erza marched up towards Loke and asked, "If you're here. Where's Lucy?"
XxXxX
Lucy was the first to exit out of the cafe, with Onix trailing behind her. She spotted the familiar group surrounding Loke and called him back silently before speeding off in the direction of their Guild.
Within minutes, they arrived. Sweat trickling down their bodies.
"What the hell!?" The bluette cried, grabbing a glass of fruit juice that was on the bar counter.
"Why the hell are they here? They're not supposed to know where I am!?" Lucy shouted, oblivious to her sisters coming down from their rooms, rubbing their eyes.
"What's the matter Lucy-nee?" Angeline asked, a faint yellow night dress was hugging her body.
...
It was finally 6pm and they could hear cars pulling up outside of the guild. Rosie and Ruki each put a hand around the doorknobs and yanked them open.
"Welcome! To The Lunar Tavern!" They shouted as a horde of girls as well as adult men rushed in to grab a seat.
Behind the bar they had Ruki and Venus serving up orders already from the men sitting by the counters.
Taking a deep breathe, Rosie, Iris, Eden and Memory waltzed up to their assigned tables and began scribbling down requests.
Anya and Princess worked in the kitchen, creating spicy as well as sweet aromas that flew to the customers noses, making them drool slightly.
Lucy giggled at how well they were doing as Onix stretched her legs by walking around, making sure every one was having fun. She turned on the speakers and played typical bar music.
.
The bluette went outside briefly and came back with something worth investigating about. A girl with white hair and black streaks was arm-in-arm with Onix as they sashayed themselves to the second floor beside Lucy.
"Tell her what you told me"
The girl blushed but spoke, "My name is Liz, I am 17 years old and I was wondering if your guild was still taking in members"
The hex dispeller didn't look pleased, "How did you know that this was a guild?"
Confused and afraid she'd upset them, the girl answered, "I heard it whilst I was walking around. That there was a guild in the town that was taking in girls and this was the only place that struck out was able to harbor that many people"
Relief swarmed the two older girls veins as they grinned at each other.
"Under two conditions" Lucy started. After a while she'd copied onto Onix's technique on how to gather members.
Liz nodded.
"One. You agree to tell us your past and two, you become our sister. Now how about you start with rule one?"
The white-haired girl looked at her shabby brown shoes, "When I was four years old my father left my mom and I. She seemed to think it was all my fault, and in a way I guess it was"
Onix put an arm around Liz's waist, bringing her closer in. Telling her to carry on, she did.
"I'd be abused daily, but I took it. I was the thing that drove my dad away, so it was only natural I must be punished. I woke up one day wondering where my mom was and looked outside by the trees we'd planted when my dad was still around and..." Liz took deep breathes, trying to calm herself down, "...I saw her. She had hung herself when I was sleeping. I left the next hour and took refuge in the forest where I met Ana, my wolf who took me to Mrs. Jones house"
"Mrs. Jones?" Lucy asked.
"She was a nice lady who taught me space magic. But because of her age, she died from a disease and told me to have fun whilst I still could" She put on a watery smile, "Ana and I traveled around the place and eventually came to this town. I saw you by the way. Having fun in the cafe by Main street. And I followed you and saw you go in this house"
Onix didn't know whether to be creeped out or happy that she did.
"And then I found out about the open bar and about the guild. So I pieced the two together and came here" Liz ended with a bright smile.
"Where's Ana?" The blonde questioned. The idea of meeting a wolf excited her, I mean, it was a wolf.
"Outside" Came the girls reply.
Onix grinned before running to get Rosie from downstairs and dragging her up the flight of stairs.
"Rosie, this is Liz. Liz this is Rosie" She lent in to whisper something that ended with an, "-and get her friend Ana inside okay?"
Smiling brightly, Rosie attacked the newest sister with a bear hug, "I'm so happy to have you here Liz! We're gonna be best sisters okay?"
~Timeskip!~
"What exactly did you tell Rosie?" Lucy couldn't help but ask.
"I asked her to dress her in anything she liked from our Clothes room" Onix replied, adding, "Is that a crime?"
"You're such a good person Onix"
The bluette smiled, "Thanks. You know, if it wasn't for you. I don't think I'd have a family again"
The blonde laughed and took a sip of the multi-coloured wine in her glass. Then a group of five people and three exceeds entered. Lucy's eyes widened as she recognised them. It was Natsu, Erza, Wendy, Gajeel, Happy, Carla and Pantherlily.
Lucy gasped (nearly spitting out her drink) and covered her mouth with her hands as quickly as possible and mouthed, That's them to Onix. The girls black eyes narrowed and flew to the table with the male pink-head. She smirked as an idea hit her.
"Go over there and sit in the next booth. They can't touch whilst you're here, if they try and talk to you, just go to our room"
Lucy nodded and obeyed, walking had never felt so terrifying but thankfully Team Natsu never even noticed her which made her feel bitter.
For two hours, she'd listened to them talk about the guild and the scandals that had happened and finally, Gray and Natsu started to fight. Their fists were raised, ready to hit each other but had stopped.
They'd never gotten past this point, since Lucy would have stepped in to tell them off with Erza backing her up.
"I miss Lucy. I want her back"
Wendy's voice made Lucy's eyes water and gave her the strength to do what she did next.
Getting up from her booth, she made her way to the kitchen and threw on a white apron and collected a pen and pad.
Her heart beat loudly as she neared the table. With sweaty palms she opened her mouth.
"Hello! Welcome to The Lunar Tavern! What can I get you?"
Sorry I introduced Liz too quickly, it's just that I wanted to get all of the OC's out of the way. Which, now I have! :D
I know. I'm evil. The preview was actually the ending to this chapter! Don't hate me!
Stay tuned to find out what happens next!
-Kai-chan!
