I was in the dark again.
No one was else beside me.
I looked around and saw nothing but darkness.
My eyes strained to look for something but nothing.
"Lucy..." a manly voice called out. I looked at everywhere as the voice echoed everywhere.
"Where are you?" I asked timidly.
"That doesn't matter. Wake up." His voice echoed again.
"Wake up? What do you mean?"
"Wake up, Lucy."
Light hits my face.
I open my eyes and saw white. White ceiling. I slowly looked at my right and saw double doors and beside it, was a living room like and a kitchen. I slowly move my head to the left and saw another set of living room like. Beside it was big windows and behind the big windows was a balcony.
A knock was heard and the door opening. I looked at the door and saw a nurse. Her face was covered by a shadow but I recognized her by her hair color and her sinister smile. My colors were gone and my heart moniter was beeping fast; indicating that my heart was beating fast.
"Hello, Lucy." Minerva looked up and her smile widen. "Don't worry, sweetie. I'm just here to talk." She sassy walk to me and since there were wires placing me down and I was feeling numb, I can't move.
"I'm here to talk about your 2nd Act." She taps my IV and chuckle. "Aw. Your brother is really loving, ne?" My eyes widen.
"Don't you dare..." It came out a whisper threat.
Minerva laugh. "We can't hurt him...yet." I glared at her.
"I have an awesome second Act so you won't get bored!" She had a fake giddy girl voice and I just looked at her with no emotions.
"Oh and another thing." Her face then darkens and a dangerous frown merged.
"Don't you dare tell anyone who starts the fire or else, Heartfilia." She grabs my face and pressed it hard. I felt her long fingernails digging my cheeks. I tried looking at her with no fear but I guess it didn't work for she was smiling in triumph.
She lets go of my face and smiled sweetly. "Bye! Have a good recovery! We don't want you to miss the GMG, ne?" She walks out chuckling darkly.
The heart moniter died down into a normal heart beating as I took deep breaths. I looked at my left hand and saw an IV attached to it then to my right hand but saw bandages wrap my right arm.
'How big did the damage I received?' I wondered. I winced as I felt a pain in my head. 'Do I have an injury in my head?' The door clicked open again and my heart jumps.
Then I calm down as I saw Levy-chan. Her eyes widen and then she started crying. "Lucy-chan!" She run into me and hugs me. I felt her tears droping in my shoulders.
"I'm okay, Levy-chan. I'm fine." She continued crying and then the door opens again and enter my parents. My eyes widen. 'No! Mama should be in bed!'
"Calm down, Lucy. I'm fine." Mama smiled and she does looked fine now. I calm down.
"Levy-chan, could you help me sit up?" I asked. Levy-chan nodded and removed herself from me. She wipes her tears. "I'll help." Papa offered.
Papa was in my left and supported my head and the other hand was at my back. He gently lifted me up. "Levy, pile up the pillows for her back." Levy-chan nodded her head and do what she was told.
Papa then gently puts me back and I felt the softness of the pillows. "How damaged am I?" I asked.
"You must be hungry, Lucy. What do you want for now? I can make Apple Rabbits." Mama open the fridge and takes out apples.
"Mama..." Papa sighed and then pats my head. "For the time being, do you feel any pain?" Papa asked. Everyone watched me fill of anxious.
"Well, I feel a bit of pain in my head. Some stingy feeling in my right arm. Other than that, none." I answered. But, that sentence was enough for me to shorten my breath. I took deep breaths.
"Okay, enough talking. I bought a drawing pad and a marker for you to write." Papa caressed my arms softly. Levy-chan ran to the table and grab the said pad and black marker.
"Anything else, sweetie?" Mama asked. Levy-chan placed the pad on my lap then open the marker.
"If I remember clearly, you can manage to write in your left." Papa stated. I nodded. I took the marker in my left hand; careful not to strain my IV.
I slowly wrote the words down but with difficulty. Well, first. I'm not left-handed. Second, I have an IV on my hand.
Nothing seems to be anything wrong.
I wrote. Levy-chan read it out loud.
"H-how about your eyesight?" Mama asked in fear. I blinked in confusion.
Well, now she mentioned it. I stared at her and there were blurry lines. I thought it was just because I just woke up but this blurriness seems not to stop.
Small blurry lines.
Levy-can read it again. Mama breath got sucked in and I could feel Papa quivering.
"How about chest pains, Lucy-chan?"
I shook my head. Well, to tell the truth. There is a painful thronbing but seeing everyone's reacton, might as wel hide everything.
Everyone relax. "O-okay. Do you feel nausea?" Mama asked again. I did whe I sat up.
I shook my head.
"Okay...Tell me if you are feeling anyting else, okay?" Mama reassured me. I nodded my head.
Then we heard knocking. "Come in," Papa answered in his business voice.
3 police officers and a man in a detective suit came in. I sucked my breathing and tried to look calm with the best of my abilities.
"Lord Heartfilia and Mistress Heartfilia, good day. Lady Heartfilia, I'm glad you are well." The officer in the middle spoke up. They all then bowed. Levy-chan bowed before stepping out of the room.
"Good day too, Officer Makoto." Mama gave them a smile. The officer in the middle widen his eyes.
"I-it's a honor for Mistress Heartfilia to know my name." Officer Makoto bowed lower.
"Of course. Raise your heads up, Officers." They all then raise their heads.
"Officer Makoto, I assume that you are here to question Lucy about the fire?" Papa gave them a hard stare which resulted them feeling fear.
"I-if Lady Heartfiliais well enough, My Lord!" Makoto and his accompany shivered.
"I'm alright, Papa. It's okay." Lucy gave them a smile and they relaxed.
Papa step away and went to Mama's side. "Okay...Good day, Lady Heartfilia. I'm Detective Stein. I will ask you some questions."
Detective Stein took out his notebook and I nodded. "Who started the fire?"
"I don't know." I lied smoothly. But deep down, I was in a panic mode.
"How come?"
"I entered the empty classroom cause someone ask me to. It was on my shoe locker." I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Mama caressed my back soothingly.
"Is it your daily thing?"
"There are always love leters in either my shoe locker or locker. Majority would be a letter to meet up. You know, to confess. So, I went and plan to reject politely like I always do." At the corner of my right eye, Papa's jaw was grinding.
"Okay. So you went in. What happens next?"
"I went in and saw no one. But then someone pushed me in and lock the door. The front, side door was open a little and then came matches of fire sticks." I took a deep breath. Nausea was kicking in and I was really short in breath.
"Did the fire spread quickly?"
"Yes. I guess that there were gases already spread."
"Any other information you could add, Lady Heartfilia?"
"...I'm sorry. None."
"Do you have the letter?"
"It was burn."
"In the fire?"
"Yes."
"What does the hand feel? Like a man's or woman's?"
"It has the length of a man but slimness of a woman." I took another deep breath and the detevtive gave a look.
"Are you okay? We can end it here." Detective Stein asked. I shook my head.
"I'm fine." Nausea came again. I bit my tongue to hold myself.
"When the fire matches were thrown, did you see something?"
"Hoodie shirt." I lied again.
"The CCTV cameras were broken. It was hacked. Do you know someone who can hack?"
"A lot of people. But they don't hack CCTVs. They hack for internet."
"Who was the last person you saw before the fire?"
"I cross path with Sabertooth student. But that's all."
"And who was that?"
"From what I can remember...His name is Sting Eucliffe." Papa and Mama froze in their place.
"I see. Did anything happened?"
"None."
"Where did you cross path with him?"
"The Library."
And that I know I made a mistake. CCTV were already broken. I cross path with Sting-nii. Sting-nii was the one who hack the CCTV. I mentally slap myself.
The Detecive nodded his head. The Officers looked at each other.
"Do you have a malice relation with him?"
"None. We formally don't know each other."
'I hope that works...' I prayed to the gods at there that Sting-nii wouldn't get hurt.
"Do you think Sting Eucliffe is suspicious?"
"No."
"Do you have any suspects in mind, Lady Heartfilia?"
"None. The Sabertooth students are in good relationship with us. Whilst, Fairy Tail students don't hurt each other."
"Is that the only people is Fairy Tail University?"
"Other than the teachers and staff, yes."
"What were the teachers doing?"
"All of them were in the Teachers Lounge."
"And how sure are you?"
"100%. I'm the Secretary in the Student Government so I know."
"Okay. How about the staff?"
"Cafeteria staff are inside the cafeteria. Some are helping the students who are opening a food booth. The guards are in their patrol. Janitors are in break."
"Are all students in thir unifroms?"
"Yes." Pain surge in my chest. I close my eyes as both pain chest and nausea was in a strong impact.
"Ugh!"
"Lucy!"
"Lady Heartfilia!"
Shouts of worries was heard. I heard the door opening, "Lucy-chan!"
'Levy-chan came back.'
"Luce!"
"Lucy!"
I heard other voices. I open my eye and saw Natsu, Erza, Gray, Wendy and Mira. I gave them a smile before I passed out.
SIDE STORY!
"Rogue, do you think Luce will hate me after all of this?" Sting placed both of his hands behind his head while looking up.
"There's a chance." Rogue replied.
Sting winced. They continued their silence while looking for the library.
"This life sucks." Sting looked outside through the window and saw the FT students smiling without a problem.
"Deal with it, Sting."
They found the library and with their strong nose, they've pick up a familiar scent.
"Luce." Sting's mouth tugged up.
