There have been MORE NaLu and Sticy requests despite what I had said in the previous chapter, stubborn people you are. Apparently you guys can't wait a few chapters *sweat drop* Lucky for me and too bad for you, there won't be any NaLu or Sticy in this chapter. Mwahahahahaaa! I do not own Fairy Tail.
~Apartment~
~Astrid's POV~
After we had gotten in the apartment, we dried ourselves off. Lucy was currently taking a shower. And I was here, in the mini-living room. Sitting on the couch, across from some random girl that Lucy decided to bring in.
I stared at her.
She stared at me
She had rather long dark purple hair, a plaid green dress and violet flats with bows on them. Her piercing green eyes seemed to look through my soul, knowing my every secret. Well, if looks could kill, this little brat would be dead by now because of the icy glare my stormy grey eyes gave her.
Honestly, I don't like her one bit. I have no reason why Luce would take the brat under her wing. And I could tell Lucy didn't want to face me because it was taking her twice as long to take a shower than it normally did.
"So," The little girl smirked. "You're the one that ordered enough ice cream to make you fat."
"Says the girl who lives on the streets!" I retorted.
"At least I have a good sense of fashion!" She pointed at my leather jacket.
"Who wears a dress like that in the rain?!" I yelled.
"It's not like I knew it was going to rain!" She yelled back.
Just then Lucy came out of the bathroom wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants, comfy.
"Is there something going on here?" Lucy raised an eye brow.
"Nothing Lucy-san. I was just a bit sad that's all." The little brat rubbed her eyes like she was crying or something.
"Tch, as if." I snorted.
Lucy looked at me confused but just shrugged it off.
"So what were you guys talking about?" She sat down next to me.
"Oh nothing, just about how great the weather is." I shrugged.
"You do remember that it's raining right?" Lucy looked at me.
"Oh yeah, this girl here was just telling me how she loves to get her dresses all dirty by playing in the rain and mud." I smirked.
"Lucy-san! She's lying!" The girl said in an innocent voice.
"I know Elizabeth, Astrid normally does." Lucy went over and sat next to, Elizabeth was it?
"Excuse me?" I gasped at her betrayal.
"I'm just joking." Lucy chuckled.
"Uh huh, sure you were." I glared at Elizabeth.
"Anyway," Lucy huffed. "What were you doing out in the rain alone?" She asked Elizabeth, concerned.
"Well *sniff* I escaped from *sniff* a dark guild's *sniff* orphanage last week, but *sniff* my oniisan is still *sniff* there." (Oniisan = Big brother)
Boy can this girl act.
"Calm down Elizabeth. Can I call you Lizzy?" Lucy asked.
"N-No, only my oniisan can c-call me *sniff* that." Elizabeth had tears rolling down her eyes.
The hell? She was in full on argument mode just a few moments ago! Where did this innocent little girl come from?! Does she have a split personality?
"Okay then, how about Liz?" Lucy asked the girl again.
"O-Okay…" 'Liz' rubbed her eyes again and dried her tears.
"Now Liz, tell me the full story."
I slouched in my seat, this is going to take a while, I'm sure of it.
"When I was four my home was burnt down and my parents were killed." She said after a deep breath.
Huh, looks like I have a connection with her.
"Me and my brother ran off, he was almost ten at the time. But a few days later we were captured by a dark guild and were put in their orphanage. We were there for eight years. One day I found a small hole in the lower basement. I managed to squeeze through and escape, but my brother was left behind! I left my own brother behind!" Liz sobbed.
"Shhh, it's okay it's okay. We'll help you get your brother back.
"Yeah Liz, we'll help you-wait. WHAT?!" I looked at Lucy incredulously. "Now why on Earthland would we do that?!" I half shrieked.
"Well why not? We can't just say 'too bad'." Lucy said.
"Ugh fine." I gave up, knowing there was no way for me to win the argument. "What kind of messed up guild captures innocent, well not always innocent, children and puts them in an orphanage?"
"The guild is called Satan's Belly, they capture children when they're young, and at the age of eighteen, they poison them so that they become evil and gain evil powers and stuff." Liz shrugged. "This is why I fear for my brother too, his birthday is only a few months away until he is eighteen!" Liz whined.
"Okay we get it. We'll rescue your oniisan in less than a week and you'll be outta my hair by then hopefully." I sighed. "But, you're sleeping in Lucy's room! Not mine!" I grumbled as I sulked into my room.
~Lucy's POV~
I watched Astrid grumble something about Liz sleeping in my room before she shut her door. What's up with her? I looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped.
"I'm going to go out for a bit and buy you some new clothes, the ones you're wearing are a bit dirty now, and you'll need more than one dress." I grabbed Astrid's bag and left.
I inhaled deeply, enjoying the scent of the fresh rain and made my way to the café, because ice cream is not a good breakfast.
~Astrid's POV~
I had taken Lucy's book with me when I made my way to my room, seeing that I had nothing else to do while avoiding Liz. I opened up to a page a little close to the middle. I don't know how Lucy could read this kind of stuff, killing people with a notebook? So unrealistic. (A/N I do not own Death Note)
I tossed the book on my bed when I heard someone leave the apartment. Heh, maybe Luce kicked Elizabeth out, it's about time. I opened my door with a grin on my face.
"Hey Lucy, later on you want to go get some more ice cream? We're all out, can we get th-" My grin fell when I saw who was lounging on the couch. "What are you still doing here?" I glared at the violet haired girl.
"What's it to you? Fattie." She sneered.
"Excuse me?" I took a step back.
"Yes, you are excused." Liz waved her hand goodbye.
"What's up with you? Why do you hate me so much?" I asked, angrily.
"Who said I hated you? You're just jumping to conclusions." Liz shrugged.
"Am not, why else would you call me a fattie unless you hated me." I said.
"Well, maybe because you ordered the strawberry supreme with frozen strawberry bits, raspberry syrup, rainbow sprinkles, topped with vanilla and hot fudge. Talk about unhealthy." Liz rolled her eyes.
"How do you even know that? You a stalker?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Nope, I noticed it when Lucy's order came since she sat next to me."
"And why would she sit next to you?" I questioned.
"Because I'm a sweet little girl that seems lonely." She smirked.
"As if." I scoffed. "So why are you still here?"
"I don't know, maybe because I live here?" She said.
"No, you don't. I do." I looked at her.
"Uh yeah I do. You said it yourself. It will take you about a week, so I'm staying here for a week." Liz shrugged.
"That's not what I meant! Don't you have any jewels to buy your own apartment?" I asked.
"I'm only twelve of course I don't!" She denied.
"When I was twelve I was living in Mt. Hakobe, and you're freeloading off of strangers!" I shrieked.
"That's probably because you've had experience, like with your parents! I barley have any memory of mine because of that stupid fire!" She spat. "You're just some stupid, rich, spoiled brat that eats ice cream for a living!" She had tears streaming down her face.
I, for one, was speechless.
"You think, you're the only one, whose home was burned down in a fire? At least you weren't chased down your whole life! At least you had a brother to keep you company the whole time! I was all alone until I found Lucy, and that was only a few months ago!" I shrieked.
I was tearing up too.
"Huh, *sniff* I guess we do have something *sniff* in common." Liz wiped her tears.
"Yeah, but were nothing alike." I argued.
"Agreed." She nodded
After we had our little conversation, we went back to arguing for who knows how long. At this time Lucy came in carrying bundles of shopping bags.
"Sorry I'm a bit late. I got you some new clothes for Liz, and I also brought some lunch. You guys must me hungry." She huffed.
"No I'm no-" I was cut off my own stomach growling.
"Hehe, looks like fattie can't get enough food." Liz giggled.
"Shut up you little brat." I glared.
"Guys…" Lucy gave a warning glare.
"Fine." I growled. "Alright, where's the food?" I sighed.
"In the brown bag over there." She pointed over to the counter.
"Ooh look a chocolate parfait." I grinned.
"That's for after lunch, but whatever." Lucy grunted.
"Hey! That's my ice cream!" Liz shrieked.
"Since when?" I glared at her.
"Since I said so." She held her head up high.
"Well too bad." I licked the chocolate treat.
"Lucy-san! Astrid took my ice cream!" Liz whined.
"Okay, I'll get you another one. Astrid, Apologize." Lucy looked at me.
"What?! No way!"
"Do it."
"No."
"Do it."
"NO."
Heh, looks like Astrid and Liz don't get along too well now do they?
I guess at one point of the story there will be another Sticy, maybe…
Review or I will get my good friend Acnologia and…
Bye! ~
