Chapter XIV – Her new herself.
Naos – X792 – Two weeks after Lucy's death.
"Dad! She is waking!" A little boy ran calling for his dad. He was six years old and he has purple hair and blue eyes. "Dad, the mermaid is waking!"
"Okay, okay… but try to be calmer. She is going to be scared if you shout like that." His father, on the other hand, had more casual features with his long black hair and gray eyes. "The mermaids are easily scared."
The girl in the bed had some bandages, after two weeks of sleep and recover she was ready to wake up. At least that was what the doctor had said. Rest and peace and she was going to be fine.
"Hey, sleepyhead…" He said, attracting her attention. "Welcome. Have you rest well?"
"Who… who are you?"
"I'm Alastor, he is my son Ikuto. This is our home, Naos." She was looking at the kid eyes, confused. "Does anything hurt?"
"My head hurts. Wh-Why… Who am I?" He didn't expect that. "… I can't remember anything. Who am I?"
There had passed six month since then. She was named Rosette from a novel and she had been living with the Dupree, working at the bookshop. Every week she would go to the doctor, but she hadn't remembered anything and Naos was now everything she had, everything she needed and she was happy... at least while she was working. There were days when she dreamed and she woke up crying, Alastor was always by her side and calm her down.
Ikuto was like a son for her too, and she was her new mom as well. Why would it be ended?
As a side work, Rosette worked at a Host Club called 'Cabaret', where usually she was another person wearing a blue wig and violet contact lens, with a revealing attire consisting in a corset and a skirt made of plumes. She usually wore gloves to hide her scars, as well as dark thighs sockets – not only in the club but in her daily clothes – so nobody could stare at them, with high heels that made her ass look even better… She was really sexy and she had her own fan club amongst the island's men.
"I'm going to work, Ikuto-kun, wait for your dad here ok?" The kid was watching a movie with his babysitter. "See you tomorrow, baby boy."
The club was dark with light dancing around and low music, there was a lot of couples there already, and others woman and man dancing around, it would be considered a club, but the fact that in there you paid for company, not sex favours but company, sweet conversations, nice wine… She really loved 'Cabaret' where she was known as 'Femme Fatale', where she danced and singed for everyone there and get nice tips.
But the past is something that we can't run of, it is going to come after us… always. Rosette didn't mind forgetting who she was or why was her there… she was happy.
"Sorry, Miss," it arrived a late evening, with the dusk behind him like a halo dancing over her orange-haired head and his sun kissed skin. "I'm lost, I have to look for the major of this town… Lucy?"
"I don't think so. I'm Rosette. May I ask who are you, sir?"
"No, you're Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia. I know you from Fairy Tail." As a proof he showed his stamp. "If you are Lucy you should have it on your right hand."
She looked at her right hand covered with a black glove.
"I don't have it. I'm sorry, I have said that I'm Rosette. The major house is there. Good luck with your business, sir." She hurried and went home, where she hugged her fiancé crying.
"Maybe you can talk with him… Lucy Heartfilia suits you far better than Rosette, but I love you whatever your name is." Alastor was really nice with her. "Maybe he is still in the town."
"Let's do it. I'm going to look for him tomorrow, ok?" They nodded and went to bed, prepared for anything that could happen.
He was not only in town, but he was waiting for her in front of her work place. She was wearing her work uniform, dark blue, knee, straight skirt and white shirt with long blue gloves covering her hands.
"Hello, miss… Rosette." He was smiling and she nodded. "I was waiting for you. I presume you prefer your new name."
"You said you know me. Where we met?" She opened the bookshop and let him entered with her.
"I'm from the same guild as you. Fairy Tail." She took off her right glove and showed him the mark… well, half mark. "It's damaged but it's the same mark."
"The doctor said I try to hold on something and the rocks tore my hand by the middle, they had to burn it to close the wound." It was true, the hand was burned and the guild stamp didn't seem a Fairy with Tail. "Nobody recognized the mark and… well, I don't remember anything from my life."
"Well, there are people waiting for you, looking for you, you even have a lover… or something like that, Natsu and you are a great couple, even if Lisanna is in the middle."
"I had a relationship? I'm going to get married next month!" Surprise. "What should I do?"
"Well… you can stay here… or maybe you should come back with me and… explain everything." Was she really going to get married? Natsu was going to be heartbroken!
"I don't what to do…" The man said something about a mission and he left but before… "When are you going to leave?"
"The next week. I will wait for you, if you don't come I won't say a word about you in Fairy Tail." It wasn't true, he would have to say something to their master. "Good luck with your decision."
Four went slowly, she started to think about her dreams where she was with a blond man… he was really mean, but then a black-haired man caressed her chin and kissed her slowly, the last man was a mysterious guy and he danced with her in a nice bed, pleasing her in almost every sense. Which one was her lover? Which one was real? The pain they inflicted on her was real? She decided it… she was going to leave but just because she needed to know the truth about herself, she was going to come back to her beloved Alastor, they were going to get married… Nobody was going to stop them from accomplishing their dreamed future.
"Then are you going to go with that man? Do you really want to know more about you? Last week you were crying because of that!" Why had he changed his opinion?
"I thought you were going to support me with this. It's my past and it's not going to be between us. I promise, I will come back to you… "
"Do you know why any guild or mages live here?" She shook her head and sat with him. "There is a curse around this island, every mage that is born here, dies. One week, a year, ten years… They don't last enough time and… if you are a mage, maybe the island is going to kill you. If you go with him… Don't come back."
By the sixth day, Alastor was really weird around her, avoiding her and not letting Ikuto with her as he used to do. So she asked in the club.
"Oh, yeah. Alastor despite mages, there wasn't any curse around the island, he tricked you into believing it." Chèrie, another singer told her. "Her late wife died when a mage crushed a building and it fell over her. The mage was found guilty and executed but Alastor doesn't like magic and avoid it like plague."
So, it was like that… Alastor now hated her.
"I'm leaving." She said but she didn't go to her home where all her things were. Chèrie and others girls gave her new clothes and some money. "Goodbye, girls. I may come back!"
"Don't push yourself dear, if you like the place… stay. If you come, you are going to suffer with Alastor around here."
"Hey, Rosette-chan!" There he was, the mage that knew her. "Are you going to come with me?"
"Yes, Gildarts-sama. I'm coming with you." And her way 'home' started.
