DWMA's Blonde Mage

Chapter 14

Lucy POV,

"Hey kids, what are you doing here?" the gardener asked. He was crouching down to meet the children's eye level and gave them a soft smile. "You're not suppose to be here."

"Is something the matter?" I asked. I was passing by the gardens on my way back to my room. I wanted nothing more than to get out of this dress. I noticed two kids with the gardener. I lifted my dress a bit and walked to him and the two children.

"Miss Lucy! Please! You'll get your dress dirty!" he protested as a bit of mud got on my dress.

"Oh, I'll be fine." I smiled sweetly at the girl. "Now, who are these kids here. Don't tell they're yours."

"No! These kids...I don't know how they got here."

I stared at the young boy and girl. The boy looked a bit older than the girl who held his hand. I noticed their appearance. The girl wore a pink dress covered in dirt and her blonde hair was put in two pig tails with pink boys bows. Her emerald green eyes drifted from me to the boy. The boy had ink black hair with three white strips on the left side. His golden eyes watched my every move. He wore black dress pants, and shoes and a white collared shirt. Like the girl, he was covered in mud and dirt.

"Hmmm..." I put a hand to my chin. "I'm Lucy Heartfilia. Who might you be?" I offered my hand to shake.

The boy suspiciously shook my hand. "I'm Death the Kid. You can just call me Kid." Death the Kid? Such a weird name.

"I'm Maka. It's nice to meet you." the girl answered. She hid behind Kid a bit. "Are you a princess?" she asked.

I laughed a bit. I understood why she said that. I wore a long pink dress that I wore whenever I met one of fathers' guests and my hair was put into a bun with a gold hair clip. I probably looked like a princess to her. "Not really Maka, but I am a bit like a princess. It's very nice to meet both of you. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and how did you get here?"

"I'm 6! Kid is 8!" Maka answered.

"We don't know how we got here. We running away from a kishin egg and ended up here somehow." added Kid.

Kishin egg? Oh well, they're just children. It must be an game. "Mr. Henson, please get some clothes for 6 and 8 year olds."

"Miss Lucy! You aren't thinking of taking them in! What would your father say if he found out?"

"He won't notice...he never does."

Mr. Henson felt defeated. "I'll be back a soon as I can."

"Thank you." the gardener went to get the clothes and notify the other workers. I turned to Maka and Kid. "I'm 14 years old, and I pretty much live by myself. So, would you like to stay with me until we find your parents?"

"Ummm...I'm not sure." Maka said.

"I won't hurt you. Come on, let's go and get you two cleaned up." Maka shyly grabbed my hand and held onto it. Kid grabbed her hand and we walked to my room.

"Lucy, wake up!"

"What?" I lifted my head from soul's shoulder and looked at Maka. What's with all these people waking me up lately?

What was I dreaming about again. Oh that's right, when I met Maka and Kid when I was 14.

Wait, a second.

"Maka did I meet you when you were 6 years old?!"

Maka and Kid looked at me and then at each other. After nodding Kid asked, "So, do you remember now?"

Meanwhile at Fairy Tail

It's been three months since Lucy left the institution. Loke was becoming weaker but, he's still waiting for Lucy. He knows she'll come back even after 8 months of separation form her and the spirit world.

Since Lucy's escape, the guild had put up signs (on order's of the master) and notified all the other guilds. They searched and searched, but no can find her. The guild member gave on their searching pretty easily. Who needs Lucy anyway? They have Lisanna and Marianna and Mira. Lucy was only the weak link.

The only people who seemed to truly care about Lucy was Loke, Levy, Gajeel, Wendy, Carla and the master.

You see, when the magic was cast, Makarov was a meeting with the council. Levy, Gajeel, and Wendy were on a mission, and Loke was in the spirit world. Levy searched desperately for her best friend with the help of Gajeel. She couldn't contain her worry and broke into tears whenever she, Gajeel, Carla and Wendy were alone.

Levy POV

The door flung open. "We're back!" yelled the famous fire dragon slayer.

The guild welcomed back Team Natsu (and Lisanna). I guess they had just finished their mission. I ignored them and continued to read. Gajeel, Wendy and Carla did the same. We knew what they had thought of Lucy. How could they do this? They say they care about their nakama but look at what they did to Lucy.

I went on a mission with Gajeel. It was only suppose to be a week long mission and I promised Lucy that I would help her with nightmares when I came back. She is, after all, my best friend. When did we come back, I found out that the guild had forcefully put Lucy in a mental institution. A mental institution! How could they? She wasn't crazy. In fact, I'm sure her visions and nightmares meant something more. Then I heard that Lucy attacked Lisanna. Yeah, right. I almost believed them until I saw Lisanna smiling evilly. That witch lied! How could I ever believed her? But what was wrong with Lisanna? She and Lucy were good friends. I'm sure that they would have been like sisters if they got to know each other more.

"Naaatsuuuuu!" Lisanna clung onto Natsu. How annoying. Of course I ignored this.

"Hey tell us about your job!" shouted a guild member.

"You didn't destroy anything this time, did you?" added another.

"Welcome back. How was the job?" Mira asked sweetly.

Erza and Gray passed by our table. They didn't even look at us. I looked at a corner of the guild hall where Loke was. He hid in the shadows with his arms crossed. In his hands was Lucy's keys. He glared at everyone. It was like this everyday. I sighed. I wish he wouldn't glare at me. I care about Lucy too, you know.

What bothers me most is Mavis. What does she think of Lucy? The first guild master was currently sitting on the second floor railing watching everyone. She noticed me staring at her and smiled. The guild door opened and Master Mavis looked at the door and her eyes narrowed a bit. She was practically glaring at the person who was walking towards Mira. The whole guild became silent. My gaze followed that person as well.

The women has a large, black, dotted snake tattoo winding down either arm. Her eyes were golden with black pupils and she had golden hair arranged in a spiked style, with two long strands extending downwards framing either side of her face which entwined with each other and rested on her chest. The women wore black body-length suit with hood. The hood was adorned with an eye-like marking upon either side. Not only that but she was barefoot. As she passed by our table, I felt a shiver throughout my body. This women...I can feel that she's powerful...

...and evil.

"Can I see the guild master?" the women asked Mira.

"He's upstairs. I'll show the way." Mira responded politely.

As soon as the door shut, everyone began whispering. Who was the women? What was she doing here? They began to ask Mira questions. The door opened and Master Makarov walked out with the strange women.

"Everyone!" the guild shut up. "Welcome our newest member, Medusa!"

A/N: Ok, so the last time I updated was November 29.

WOW

It's been like a whole month. I have no excuse for not updating the story. Well, I do. I have lots of reasons actually, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear them.

Someone asked me if I'm going to quit writing this story or something like that and my answer is no! I'll complete this story no matter what. I absolutely hate it when stories are not updated for a long time. Like I read this awesome story a couple days ago and you know it leaves you at cliffhanger and you know what? It hasn't been updated in like 4 years! The point is, I'm going to finish this story. It just takes me a while to actually write a chapter. I mean, it took me like two weeks to write this chapter. Two weeks!

Anyway, thanks for all your reviews and I'll write the next chapter as soon as I can.
