Hi guys. ExistentNalu here. I hope you've enjoyed this week, and look forward to the summer :3!
I've mentioned that I might rewrite this story, I think..
Well, I'm not really rewriting, I'm just editing some parts. Nothing serious. And I just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone who has Reviewed, and viewed this story..
Think Once, Think Again- Reached 10K views.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT OMG that is so much like lmao;; Never would I expect it to get so many views. And views might not be that important, but.. they are to me. I guess it sorta gives me the feeling of proudness :P.
I changed the summary to involve OOCness, which will probably portray something bad about Think Once, think again. I'm just being honest :P
Well, anyways, I hope you enjoy this part. Oh, next week Friday, up until sunday, I might not be updating at all. Sorry for the lack of effort in this xP.
I'm going to france on Friday, and come back at 3AM on Saturday, with my school. I've pulled both muscles in my arms, and they're dying right now, so yeah. So, Enjoy~!
(Normal POV):
Fairy Tail watched sympathetically, as their ex-comrade weeped into her friends arms, screaming Zeta's name into his shirt. Nobody dared to move, in fear that they would bother Lucielle's tragedy. Nobody could compare to this. Nobody could compare to the duo's pain, because they hadn't experienced adventures with the boy. After a series of crying, Lucielle regained her posture, wiping the tears from her eyes. Slowly, she raised her head, brown-orbs shining in late night moonlight.
"Was it wrong of me to come to Fairy Tail?" She asked. "Was it wrong of me to just wish, to have a normal life?"
"It was not wrong of you to come to Fairy Tail, my child. Mages are anything but normal. You'll find that joining a Guild increases the chances of.. uniqueness, I should say." Makarov replied, walking out from the crowd, hands behind his back.
"But I wanted a normal life. One where my mother didn't disappear, one where Jude didn't neglect me, one where a seal was never placed on me. I just wanted to be with my nakama." Lucy retorted, clenching her fists at her side. "I just wanted to be accepted by someone. I wanted to be accepted as Lucy, a celestial mage, in Fairy Tail. Not to be known as some damsel in distress, not as a frilly dressed.. property. Celestial Mages can be just as strong as any other mage!"
"You were accepted, though." Makarov said. "Fairy Tail doesn't care about your past, we care about the present with nakama, and future with nakama."
"You accepted me?! You acted like Jude- Literally!" Lucy yelled.
"You shouldn't compare the past to the future, Lucy-chan." Layla said from behind Lucy, placing a hand on her daughters shoulder. "You said that to me!"
"Your mother is right, Lucy-chan. Mavis knows how many times you've said that to us! Even after you matured, you would say it." Constello chuckled, wrapping his arm around Layla's waist.
Lucielle eyes widened in shock, recognition clashing with her sorrowful expression. She realised that what they were saying was.. right. In a way. She didn't want to come to terms with this feeling of warmth, swelling inside of her, because Fairy Tail was the cause of her downfall. But, you know, Ignorance leads to realisation, right? Because she ignored the fact that she was very, very, very strong, but later realised that she was. She ignored, at the start, the fact that she was in love with Natsu, but later realised that she was.
She uneasily shrugged off her mother's hand from her shoulder, pulling up the hood of her cloak, further down her head.
"Y-Yeah. I'll go to Iroshiya's house now." Lucy mumbled, though loud enough for her friends to hear.
The Dragons, and Humans, watched in sympathy and guilt as Lucielle made her way towards her cousins house. It wasn't everyday that someone acknowledged their actions so easily. Makarov trotted over to Layla, taking hold of said womans hands.
"Did you sense it?" He asked, in a low voice. "It was almost overpowering."
"It was.. an opening of warmth. It came in waves, and has impressed me, once again." Layla replied, a smile forming on her face. "She can't help but care for you all, I hope you know that. And remember, just because she may seem forgiving, my child has inherited my stubborness. It will take time."
"I know that, It's my Guild that don't. Natsu and Lisanna specifically." He grumbled. "I'll see you soon, Layla-chan."
"Sayonara, Makarov-san!" Layla waved, following after Lucy in a hurry.
Fairy Tail watched as the Heartfilia's and Dragons marched off, following after their Queen. In all honesty, the Mages were unsure of how to think of Lucielle.
She changed within them 3 years.. weirdly. She would address everyone with high respect, well, to those who hadn't of been rude, and then she would revert to old Lucielle. It's almost as if she has split into two parts. Old, and new. Broken and refurbished. It's almost as if Lucielle had...
evolved.
(Iroshiya's POV)
It was atleast 1AM, when suddenly, sounds of banging, and screaming awakened me from my sleep. I tiredly reached for the lamp that was beside my bed, flickering the switch, a light illuminating my room. As I prepared to get up, I felt a pair of arms holding me down. Confusedly, I moved my body, hoping to face this person. Tired Icy-blue orbs stared into mine.
"... Yuko-san?" I asked, gently removing his arms from my waist.
"..Iroshiya-chan?" He asked, confusion detected within his tone.
Yuko-san, or Yuko Chiroran, was a Water Dragon Slayer, and healing mage, in Fairy Tail. He had joined a mere year after Lucy left, and settled in immediately. He had apparently taken a liking to me, and asked to create a team with me, to which I agreed. We are currently the strongest team in Fairy Tail, along with Juvia-san and Gray-san who joined our team once they left Team Natsu.
How did he end up in my.. bedroom? House nonetheless?
Oh well, I can figure it out later.
Just as I was about to rest my head against my fluffly pillow, a bright flash of light erupted in my bedroom, startling me. Hurriedly, I grabbed my quilt, and wrapped it around me. Golden-blonde hair blinded my sight.
"Lucy-san!" I shrieked. "H-How nice it is to see you!"
"Ara ara.." She mumbled, turning a bright pink colour. "W-Was I disturbing you?"
"No! N-Not at all! Not at all, Lucy-san!" I quickly scooped up some clothes, and threw them at Yuko-san. "Revert!"
In a flash, Yuko-san disappeared, and left nothing but a trail of dust.. (and his scent). Both of us were blushing, until she broke the silence, walking over to me.
"Care to explain what the hell you were thinking?" Lucy asked.
"During the day.. Cana-san challenged me to a Drinking contest, and I said yes- stupidly- I ended up losing and then Yuko-san took my place.. he lost.. and then he helped me back here. I can't remember what happened after that.." I replied. "Gomen, I should've declined Cana-san's request immediately."
"Yeah.. I don't think anyone could beat her in a drinking contest." Lucy chuckled. "But seriously, if you don't remember what you done.."
"W-Whatever you're trying to imply, I assure you it didn't happen! One of my spirits would stop it before it even started.." I said. "I sensed that something tragic had happened.."
"Well, that dark guild Bladed Hearts attacked us.. Zeta tried to protect Caleb during the process and.. they just murdered him. They didn't even hesitate! It was ruthless, Iroshiya-chan. They didn't even care.. then I broke down, and.. a sudden warmth took over me once Fairy Tail spoke to me. I'm unsure of why.. It's like, no matter what, I can't hold a grudge against them.." Lucy retorted. "Zeta was six years old. He had barely even gotten the chance to see defend himself, before they blasted him into five houses.. they blasted his arm off aswell."
"B-Bladed Hearts?" I whispered. "Lucy-san.. do you even know who you're messing with?"
"A woman in there is the mother to Zeta. She abandoned him.." Lucy mumbled. "Of course I know who I'm handling."
"NO, you don't. A client requested that someone go to Bladed hearts and destroy them, and Guildarts accepted it. He was put in a coma for two years. They don't care if you're a child, they'll kill you. They don't care if you're a teenager, they'll kill you! They'll kill you no matter what!" I yelled. "Lucy-san, they're the worst Guild out there!"
"They took out Guildarts..?" Lucy asked in a low tone. "That's new."
"They nearly took out Fairy Tail. If it wasn't for.." Tears swelled in my eyes, as memories came forth in my mind. "If only she didn't.."
"Who? Did someone save you guys?!" She asked, as she sat down at my bed.
"A girl.. the Northern star constellation spirit. Her name was North... Oh mavis. Lucy.. She cast Ice-shell, only it was stronger by ten fold, on most of Bladed Hearts. She told us she done it because we helped her see that living with nakama is beautiful..
We had grown close. She even gave me her key, so she could always return, knowing that she had protected us in her past life. I'm not sure if she meant 100, or 1000 years old.. but for all I know, her loss made such an impact of Fairy tail.. we sunk into further depression. North's key was destroyed by Zianna, one of the members of Bladed Hearts, and North has been stuck in the Celestial World for almost a year now. If it weren't for you, my cousin, coming back to Earthland, I personally don't know what I would of done. I missed you so much, I cried myself to sleep for two weeks straight. I stopped eating for a while.. then it got to the three weeks after you left. I destroyed part of the Guild whilst confronting them for their wrongs.. then I went into a coma- I hadn't realised that when I was attacked that time, my magic was slowly being depleted. Thankfully, Yuko-san had healed me in time. I was sent to Magnolia hospital, and woke up two weeks ago.." I explained. "Hearing that you had been treated so badly.. felt horrible. It was a pain that could rival the heartache I felt when Haru-nii left."
I wasn't lying when I said that, though. Having to bear three years of your life without someone of whom you thought was like a sister to, is tough. I had mother, and father, and Ivory-nee, but it was still.. painful. It's been 13 years since his death.
"Loke-san told me that Bladed Hearts have two groups. One, named M.O.R.P.H- and the other name Z.E.R.O.- Quite fitting for a Dark Guild, actually. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, when talking about it." She said. "I only know that H in morph stands for the youngest member, Hono Fey. A fire god slayer. Red hair, onyx eyes, some say he resembles.. Him in a way. Loke-san also told me that Hono is usually seen with a blood-red coloured wire wrapped around his left leg."
"South-san, the southern star, and North-san, the northern star, both informed me that a very mysterious mage named Onami Yuujin, purple hair and black eyes is in M.O.R.P.H- nobody actually knows about him. Though North-san has said herself that he has magic of which can completely destroy any Celestial Spirit.. which no mage has been able to do. Ever. Because spirits are immortal, even when moved onto into the light. It's physically impossible to destroy them, but apparently Onami found a way.." I said. "If it weren't for her amazing amount of power, she would of been destroyed."
"I've never heard of magic like that.. maybe.. I can search Sabertooth's library for more information." She said, whilst yawning. "Lets go to sleep."
"Alright, I'll take the couch, and you can have my bed Lucy-san." I yawned, too, and went to take place at my large, soft couch. But was stopped by her grapping my wrist tightly. Sad, black-abyss like orbs stared up into my own eyes.
"Please lay with me.. I don't want to be alone." Lucy pleaded. "Lay with me until I fall asleep."
"A-Alright, Lucy-san." I mumbled, returning to the warmth of my cosy bed. Lucy curled up, resting her head against my chest.
She fluttered her eyes in an adorably tired way, wrapping her arms around my waist.
"Please don't leave me. I don't want to be left alone again." She mumbled.
"I won't leave you. You won't be left alone, anymore, Lucy-san." I whispered, resting my head against her head. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
And in the late hours of the Night, we fell asleep, holding each other in a sisterly embrace. Black became brown, and loneliness was forgotten. The bonds of Fate's twins could not be broken, even by their lady herself, Fate el Hikari.
Because mavis knows, family and friendship can surpass everything.
