Chapter 13: My Full Name Is…
Lucy woke up to noise is her kitchen. She sighed as she mumbled something that wasn't heard. She twisted and turned around a bit, but finally woke up when the noise coming from the kitchen was to loud to sleep through. Lucy stood up and got dressed into a dark green tang top and dark blue jean shorts that ended mid-thigh. She had a light brown belt on that held her whip, Celestial Keys, and a small brown pouch that held her money. She also had on dark green sandals.
Lucy walked into her kitchen to see Natsu and Happy raiding her fridge. She stood there in shock for a second before swinging her leg, landing a blow on both Natsu and Happy. The daring duo slammed into the wall while Lucy screamed.
"Ow Lucy, what was that for," Natsu asked as he held a hand on her face.
"What do you think you're doing in my room," Lucy snapped back. Happy shoved a raw fish into his mouth while Natsu ate some chicken.
"Whe came to bwing yuh to tha gwuild," Natsu said, his mouth full of food.
"Swallow and repeat," Lucy said with a sigh. Natsu swallowed and flashed Lucy a grin, which showed off his unnaturally sharp canine teeth.
"We came to bring you to the guild," he replied. Lucy sighed as she shut her fridge and opened her door.
"Let's go then. Everyone must be waiting for us," Lucy said. She smiled as Natsu ran out of the door and grabbed her hand. Lucy let out a gasp as she was pulled along, she heard her house door slam and thanked happy silently for closing her door. Happy was then flying alongside them.
Lucy barely had time to look at the river or even look inside the new shops. In fact, Lucy felt a bit sick from how fast they were running. Lucy tried, and failed, several times to get Natsu to stop running so fast. Lucy was starting to have trouble telling what was the sky and what was the ground.
"Natsu, please stop! I might puke," Lucy cried out as he continued to run.
"What was that Luce," Natsu asked as he continued to run. Lucy sighed what was with that nickname? It wasn't even shorter that her name! In fact, it almost sounded like Luke. She hoped that he didn't call her that around people she didn't know.
A small smile appeared on her face as she continued to be dragged. She had never had this much fun! Lucy felt as if she was known as Lucy, not by her last name. She hated her last name; it gave her a title and a life with no fun. No, you couldn't even call what she had back then a life.
A life gave you decisions and consequences. Back at her home, she had everything chosen for her. It would never be a life, it would always be a stage. A stage in which she was the puppet and the puppet master was her father.
When they got to the guild, Natsu flung the doors open. Lucy sighed as she snatched her hand away from Natsu's grip. She walked up to Levy, who was at the bar with Mirajane. Natsu started fighting with Gray, but they were then scared by Erza
"Hello Levy. Hello Mirajane," Lucy said as she sat down. Levy let out a cheerful hello and so did Mira. Lucy smiled as she asked for some water. Mira gave her a glass full of water and Lucy took a sip. Erza and Gray were quietly discussing if they should talk to Lucy about herself. After a long discussion about the topic, Erza walked up to Lucy.
"Lucy, do you mind telling me your last name," Erza asked politely. Lucy's smile instantly disappeared once Erza asked the question. Lucy's eyes darkened as she stood up. Her once happy demeanor took and 180 change. This caught the attention of Gray, Natsu, Happy, Levy, Mira, and even the guild master.
"I do mind. That is my person business and has nothing to do with you unless it interferes with a mission or the guild," Lucy said, her voice laced with anger. Erza looked a bit shocked, but she quickly glared at Lucy.
"What are you hiding from us, Lucy," Erza asked. Lucy sighed as she sat back down and looked away.
"That is none of your business Erza. Just like your right eye, which is obviously artificial, is none of my business," Lucy stated coldly. Erza bit down a snide comment. Just as she was about to retort, the guild doors slammed open. The guild looked towards the door to see a civilian. Lucy's eyes widened as she stood up. The civilian walked right up to her and smiled.
"Hello Lucy-Sama (A/N For everyone who doesn't know, sama means princess or mistress). I was sent by your father to pick you up from this… place," the civilian said with disgust.
"Ah, good evening Tomas. Tell Father that this is my home and I will not be returning," Lucy said.
"But Madam, your Father said that if you don't return home then he will have to go to extreme measures," Tomas said. Lucy led him to the door and had him leave. She could already hear whispers from the guild members.
"I guess since that's happened I might as well tell you. I was hoping nothing would happen," Lucy said. Erza lifted her eyebrow up in confusion. Everyone else watched silently. Lucy turned around to face the guild.
"My name is "Lucky" Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy said. Everyone gasped and the guild went silent. Lucy stood in place, waiting for the questioning she would soon get from Erza to begin.
