Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, this is the thirty-sixth chapter of the fan fiction me my friend have been working on. We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.
thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.
We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
-the next morning-
Father: good morning everyone, and how was the sleep?
Lucy frowns. She is limping and is wearing a less revealing outfit so her bruises are covered up
Erza: It was fine, although we really should leave today.
Gray: Are you okay Lucy? You're not usually dressed for the cold
Lucy: I'll tell you later *winces from some pain in her left rib*
Erza: Sir? Where's Natsu?
Father: He should be along soon. We were up for quite a while last night catching up.
Lucy frowns not believing him
-Meanwhile-
MS: What did you find out about the boy from last night?
Scientist: his transformation has seemed to sped up since the last time he was connected to the machine
MS: How long until it will be complete? The master is getting impatient
Scientist: I'm not entirely sure, something has seemed to held some of the effects as well
MS: I expect a full report. We should return him back to his room. His trainer will be looking for him shortly
Scientist: okay *un-straps natsu from the machine and returns him to his room*
-it has been an hour, and Natsu still hasn't arrived at the table-
Gray: How long is flame brain gonna keep us waiting?
Lucy: I'm going to check on natsu *gets up and goes to leave the room*
Happy: I'll come too
Lucy: okay, come on happy. *walks out of the room and heads towards Natsu's room*
Happy: Are you sure we're going the right way?
Lucy: yeah I'm sure, I can smell him.
Happy: That's creepy
Lucy: shut it cat *stops to smell Natsu's scent and stops in front of a large wooden door* we're here *knocks on the door* Natsu. Natsu it's me Lucy, can I come in?
Natsu: *mumbled* yeah (come in)
Lucy: *opens the door and walks in* are you okay, everyone is waiting for you at the table
Natsu: not...*goes to turn around and winces* rgh!
Lucy: *runs up to natsu ignoring the pain in her ribs* what's wrong
Natsu: I'm... I'm just a little sore
Lucy: do you want me to heal you?
Natsu: You're in no shape after last night to do that
Lucy: I'm fine, I want to help you *natsu notices her wearing non revealing clothing*
Natsu: What... what are you wearing?
Lucy: what's wrong with what I'm wearing *crosses her arms and winces from the pain in her rib*
Natsu: Nothing's wrong. I'm just not used to seeing you wear clothes like that
Happy: Natsu? Are you sure you're... *touches Natsu's arm lightly and he very noticeably flinches. looks from Natsu to Lucy* What did you guys do yesterday?
Lucy: I don't want to speak about *winces again*
Natsu: Lucy. Take off your shirt
Lucy: *blushes* huh. Why?
Natsu: You're wincing every time you go near your ribs. Take off your shirt
Lucy: uh okay *blushes* *she unbuttons her shirt revealing a pink lacy bra, but other than that there are dark purple and sometimes black bruises all along her torso and arms. Her top slides onto the floor. The biggest bruises are along her ribs*
Natsu looks at her and then looks ashamed at the floor-
Lucy: what. What's wrong?
Natsu: If it weren't for me you wouldn't have those
Lucy: I don't blame you, and I never will. And this is what I meant yesterday when I said I have injuries not caused by the machine *winces*
Natsu: *gingerly cradling his arm against his stomach* We should have left last night
Lucy: then why didn't we
Natsu: I dunno. As soon as I felt that hand on my shoulder I wanted to run; but something was keeping me there
Lucy: we need to get out of here. I think I have broken ribs and if that's so I need proper medical attention. I don't trust your father because *mumbles the rest*
Happy: What was that Lucy?
Lucy: nothing
Natsu: *puts his legs over the edge of the bed, wincing again* Luce. You can tell us
Lucy: *breathes out in pain* your father. He beat me up. He was the one who gave me these bruises
Natsu: That son of a bitch
Father: Well, look who decided to grace us with his presence
Lucy quickly puts her top back on and backs away from Natsu's father
Father: The Draconium Arcanum. A very interesting phenomenon; rare even amongst the Dragon Slayers of Earthland.
Lucy stands behind natsu, clutching her ribs
Father: Who knew that such a prodigy of death magic would become a dragon slayer and experience it.
Lucy: natsu? What is he talking about?
Natsu: *glaring* I thought I made it clear to you last night. That part of my life is over.
Father: Yes... And that was just before I broke your arm wasn't it?
Lucy gasps. She looks back at Natsu's arms. The one he's holding to his stomach is badly bruised
Lucy goes to heal his arm
Father: Naturally I assumed that when your mother handed you to that dragon 400 years ago you had been eaten. I never would have thought that beast would have trained you to use magic
Natsu: *snarling* Don't you DARE disrespect Igneel. He was more of a father to me than you ever were
Lucy jumped slightly but went back to healing Natsu's arm
Father: Such a vulgar child. You used to be so obedient after a beating
Lucy continues healing Natsu's arm, but it was going to take a while which they didn't have that much time. The blue flames changed from blue to red which are for healing serious injuries
Natsu lunges to attack the father *forcing Lucy out of the way*, who places two fingers on Natsu's chest. Natsu is then blown back into the wall his forehead is bleeding when he sits up again
Lucy: Natsu* runs to natsu*
Father: *sigh* now see what you made me do? There's now a dint in the wall that will have to be repaired
Lucy turns towards the father and snarls. Her eyes have gone dragon like and scales are appealing on her face, arms and hands. Her canines are growing and her nails are turning into claws
Father: *waves finger* tsk tsk Miss Heartfilia. You should have more control of yourself. *turns to leave* If you wish to leave this palace alive I suggest you don more human traits. But you will be leaving the ungrateful brat here
Lucy: *breathes slower and starts going back to normal* natsu is coming back to fairy tail. And stop speaking to me as if you know me
Father: You and I both know how this is going to end. I suggest you be careful of the trash you have accompanying you. A person of your status deserves better. *leaves the room and closes the door behind him*
Lucy drops to her knees breathing heavily
Lucy: I'm sick of everyone saying that to me. I got enough of that from my father. I don't want to end up with some snobby rich guy, *looks at natsu* I only want you natsu
Natsu: My old man's an ass. Don't worry about it
Lucy: just because he's ass doesn't mean you should tolerate it *winces*
Natsu: *winces* I grew up with it... Sadly I'm used to it. Hah! I guess that's why I don't like people who mess with their nakama *smiles*
Lucy smiles and starts healing natsu with the red flames
Natsu: Thanks, Luce
Lucy: *finishes healing his arm, which isn't broken anymore* your welcome
Natsu: We should probably head to where Erza and Gray are
Lucy winces and clutches her ribs. She tries to get up
Natsu: wait right here *crawls under the bed*
Lucy: huh?
Natsu comes back up with two vials and hands one to Lucy
Lucy: what's this?
Natsu: Something my mother gave me years ago It helps with injuries
Natsu drinks the liquid in the vial and the bruises start going away instantly
Lucy: oh. Thank you *drinks the contents of the vial*
Natsu: I spent weeks finding a hiding spot where the servant's wouldn't find them. Anything they found that looked magical they gave to him.
Gray: *enters* I got sick of waiting what's keeping you
Natsu: Nothing. Just slept in
Lucy: well it's a good think they didn't find them *hugs natsu*
Gray: didn't find what, don't lie to me
Natsu: I think I might bring them with us, they may come in handy and we can give any extras to Mira
Lucy: yeah, she can figure out the ingredients and make more
Gray: what's in those vials?
Natsu goes under the bed again and comes out with a box of those same vials
Natsu: They help with injuries. That's pretty much it
Lucy: so how are we going to get out of here?
Natsu: THAT is a good question
Gray: how did your mum get you out fire butt?
Natsu: *rubs forehead* I don't remember. I think it was probably a secret tunnel or something though
Gray: are there any servants that hate him but are afraid to leave?
Natsu: Trust me if you actually KNEW my father, you would too. But if there were ever rebellious servants, they were put to death in front of the rest of them. It was supposed to stop it from happening again
Gray: well flame brain put it together ask them to show us the tunnels!
Erza: I doubt his father would let him walk around the castle unsupervised. It's best if we do the searching
Gray: well can they get us blueprints
Lucy: what should I do?
Natsu: It's possible. We should definitely get ready to go soon though.
Erza: Lucy, you can help us by keeping an eye on Natsu. We don't want to lose you two again and he's more likely to go where you are or cause trouble
Lucy: *nods* okay
Gray: Where will we find the paperwork for the house?
Erza: The library is our best bet
Gray: is it easy to get to fire pants?
Natsu: I can take you there
Erza: We'll go together
Gray: well what are you waiting for lets go
