Firstly I apologise for the mistake last chapter *Bullet* magic instead of *Guns* magic. Kudos to the mysterious anonymous guest that pointed that out for me
Perhaps I may correct that chapter?
This chapter is going to be epic! (I hope). It will seal the fate of Lucy, and this story.
Anyways I'll see you at the authors note at the end. Until then…. Enjoy,
Story time …
Chapter 13- Seal of fate
Lucy refused to lay there biting the dust just because some bitch pushed her down. She would stand up and get her back. She hauled herself to her feet and brushed off the dust. She slid aside her cloak to reach for her whip, but paused. It was a pause of hesitation. If Loke had taught her anything, she could settle this fight with her own two fists. Unless this other girl could use magic?
Darkness shaded her eyes and she cracked a smirk. She thought 'this is perfect practice for when I pay that drunken flirt payback.' in other words her mind train was thinking along the tracks of.
'It's on.'
With a little giggle of happy insanity and the darker side that rarely surfaced, she launched her body forward at the girl. Raising a right fist, she struck gold on the first hit striking her opponents jaw. The hood retaliated with a right hook which Lucy dodged with a swift duck.
"Yuuuuuuukiiiii KICK!"
Lucy smashed the heel of her right foot into the other side of the girl's jaw. The girl was lifted clean off the ground and ended up falling onto her back. Lucy smiled to herself. A sickening evil little giggle arose at the sight of her opponents dislocated jaw. Yuki smiled and walked away in the other direction, 'that was almost too easy.' she snorted.
Turns out it was too good to be true. Something snagged on her back foot just as she was walking away, Lucy turned to see with source and gasped. 'A shadow… Shadow magic.'
Lucy couldn't hold it off any longer. Retrieving a golden key from her belt she closed her eyes in fear of having to shamefully return to Fairy Tail, because not only was it implied by everyone else, but she called herself, weak…. That word was her phobia, weakness was her least favourite quality. Number 1 on the her current dislikes.
"Gate of the Lion, I open thee, Leo!" she announced.
Loke appeared almost immediately.
"Light combats shadow right?" asked Lucy.
Loke nodded pushing up his glasses.
"Then a little help would be appreciated." she commented.
There was a sudden pull on her ankle and she fell straight on her face. She felt herself being dragged back quite rapidly, probably ripping up the side of her face. Suddenly the pulling and dragging ceased thankfully. A bright light courtesy of Loke's Regulus had sliced the shadow restraining her in half, and the rest withdrew back to its master.
"Loke go." said Lucy.
"But Princess-" he objected.
"Before Erza and Natsu see you!" she hastily waved the key in front of her. "Forced closure."
Loke disappeared. With a quick glance to the side she was assured Natsu and Erza hadn't seen Loke.
"You want to mess with Oracion Seis? You want to mess with me? Me, the Shadow Tamer, Torrelye Cheney. This WILL be something you'll regret." growled the third hood.
"Cheney?" question Yuki.
"And don't get any ideas that I'm as lenient as my brother!" barked Torrelye.
Lucy's opponent held her arm straight out to her right side and the shadow transformed into a large black shadow scythe. Lucy froze, she was shaking. How did she feel?...
How about intimidated?
How about scared?
Number 1- Weakness
Number 2- Fear
She couldn't move. She was rooted to the spot as a shiver ascended up her spine. She braced herself from the pain. That's all she could bring herself to do.
Torrelye's face was wrapped in shadows, the only features visible were the whites of her neon red glowing eyes, and the wretched toothy grin stretched across the lower half of her face.
"HYAAAAA!" Torrelye roared as she brought her scythe across her body in a clean horizontal slicing motion.
The bladed edge hooked around Lucy's body and cut straight through her middle. She didn't scream. She didn't shout for help. She just gaped a little. Blood started to bead up at the start of the cut and then spread from one side of her to the other. Her body had been severed. Two halves instead of one, even though her body was still somehow intact or perfectly balanced one half on another.
Such a hard fate to accept. The main character of her own life story dying. Did she have any regrets?
Of course.
If she didn't ever have any regrets, she wouldn't be human.
She hadn't had the chance to return to Fairy Tail.
She hadn't been able to say goodbye to Natsu, Erza and Jeremiah. Nor the rest of her comrades which used to fight with side by side.
Not a chance to tell Gray she was sorry for being reckless.
She hadn't had her Fairy Tail ending.
She wasn't able to protect herself let alone anyone else.
She had be simply content with everything that had happened so far and feel fulfilled even though it was only a short life.
Number 1- Weakness
Number 2- Fear
Number 3- Regret
Lucy's corpse sunk to her knees.
A tear slipped down her cheeks.
Number 1- Weakness
Number 2- Fear
Number 3- Regret
Number 4- Sadness
the salty water splashed onto the back of her hand. She rubbed her hand slightly removing the layer of foundation revealing the pink Fairy Tail insignia.
'Do fairies have tails?
I guess I'll never know.
But I would like to think it's possible.
Because that's what Fairy Tail achieved,
the impossible.'
Number 1- Weakness
Number 2- Fear
Number 3- Regret
Number 4- Sadness
Number 5- Death
"Arigatou, mina."
"YUKIIII!" screamed Erza.
The swords pierced through the café window and she dove out running for the lifeless body. She stumbled and ran to Yuki's side. She was breathing heavily and took Yuki's wrist in her hand checking her pulse.
"NO NO YUKI PLEASE!" begged Erza.
Erza removed her hand from the girl's wrist in defeat. And then she saw it.
"LUCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYY!"
Okay so maaaayyyybe I killed off the main character. Oops. But don't worry, there are more chapters I promise you. Going on about the other characters and stuff like that. Please don't hate me. Just read the next chapter please! I swear it will still be good and worth reading.
