Hi there my dear dumplings! I think you've wqaited long enough for this chapter! So here you go~
If you think that I'm Mashima Hiiro... You must be crazy!
Let the magic begin~~~
Natsu's POV
I was running on a street in Magnolia, trying to get hold of Lucy's scent. Lisanna and Mirajane had been acting strange when I had asked who they were talking about. It was suspicious.
I had been to her apartment. It was empty. Her scent was old and a bit dusty which meant that she hadn't been there for a while. I was starting to get really worried. I had been searching for over three hours and still no sign of her. I was tempted to try to make Lisanna or Mirajane tell me but I had the feeling that Mirajane wouldn't budge and she would kill me if I tried to make Lisanna tell me. I stopped running when I got to the big park where we had found Levy, Jet and Droy hanging from a tree. I looked around. 'Where the hell could she be?' I asked myself. I crossed my legs and sat down on the ground. I sat completely still and just… thought. 'Yeah, right.' You probably think but really, I was using my brain. Many thought's and questions rummaged through my head. 'Does she hate me?', 'Where would she have gone without me?', 'Wherever she is, does she still wear have the same soap?', 'What did she eat today?' It didn't matter what I thought about. Every thought was connected to Lucy in one way or another. I sighed and laid down on the grass. I closed my eyes and just listened to my surroundings. I heard the birds. All of the children playing, the parents shouting at them...
"Young man you seem down." I jolted up and stared at the old woman in front of me. She looked like she had one foot in the grave with all of her scars and the stripy hair, as if she hadn't showered in weeks. Which she probably hadn't. The smell that reached my nose where disgusting. I felt like puking. I stared at the old woman.
Then everything happened too fast for my brain to catch up. I saw her change from a harmless old lady to a monster. She grew horns, her skin turned ash gray, her eyes became yellow and glowing, she grew at least 10 feet and her fingers turned into claws. The disgusting smell that surrounded her suddenly became a lot stronger. It made me dizzy. I felt my strength fade and as I sunk to my knees the monster towered me. Everything around me disappeared. It was only me and the monster. One of its claws reached for my neck. The part where it touched started to burn. I was startled since never in my entire life had I felt this burning sensation. I couldn't scream. My mouth just hanged wide open, not letting even a whimper slip out. The monsters eyes seemed to stare right into my soul and before I lost consciousness I heard a low, dark voice.
"See you in hell. Natsu Dragneel."
Lucy's POV
Awkward. That is probably the only word to describe this situation. With Sting and Rouge sitting beside me, all patched up from their fighting, and Gabriel, the major and Liam sitting in front of me the silence where anything but comfortable. I stared down at my hands as they laid there in my lap. I felt Rouge glancing at me from time to time. But I didn't look up. Not even once. I felt the major watching me. I had barely said a word to him after he had told me that he was my grandfather. The thought itself was ridiculous. I knew that all of my relatives where dead. At least that's what my father had told me. I glanced at Gabriel. He stared at his grandfather. He too hadn't said a word since his... our grandfather had explained the situation to him. I almost had the feeling that he believed this less than I did. Eventually it was the major that spoke first.
"Lucy, Gabriel, I know that this is a lot to process." He spoke. He didn't any further as Gabriel rose from his chair with an very pissed of expression.
"A lot to process? Why have you never told me that I have A FUCKING COUSIN?!" He yelled. The dragonslayers covered their ears. This time I also spoke.
"I thought that I was the only one left." I said. My voice sounded hoarse. As if I was about to cry. I looked at the major. The man that in real was my grandfather. "I thought that I didn't have any family left!" My grandfather just watched me with a sad expression. I noticed that Gabriel too had changed his attention to me. I felt my eyes burn. Soon tears rolled down my cheeks. "Why didn't anybody tell me? WHY HAVE NO ONE TOLD ME?!" I hadn't even noticed that I had stood up and had started to scream. My tears freely rolled down my cheeks. I wiped them away and with a loud sob I sank back to my chair. I closed my eyes and continued to cry. Suddenly I felt a pair of strong arms around me. I looked up and saw my grandfather stand there. Crying silently.
"My child. I am so sorry. I always wanted to visit you but your father wouldn't let me. And eventually he told me that you had died." His voice became more hoarse for every word. "Then the newspaper told the world about Fairy Tail's disappearance. Among all those faces. I saw you. You where there. In Fairy Tail. I confronted your father about it. He had become another person. He was completely ruined by your disappearance. He told me that he had said that you died because he was ashamed that you had ran away from him. I spent a week together with him. Eventually he became a bit more gleeful. Together we made the government set out to sea to find you and your friends. But as you know your father soon became sick. Eventually he died. Then only four months later I saw you in the Grand Magic Games. You where back. I was so happy." He hugged me even tighter and let out a big sob. "And then right after the Games had ended, that evil spirit started to abduct people. Me too. And, well you know the rest. I was so surprised to see you. I'm so glad that you are unharmed." In one movement I had turned around and flung my arms around his neck. I sobbed uncontrollably into his chest. We both sunk to our knees and cried. I don't know for how long sat on the floor like that.
I was at the train station. Grandfather and Gabriel stood with me. The dragonslayers where still at the mansion –Probably eating all the food– The train had just gotten here and I was saying goodbye.
"My child. Remember to visit once in a while." Grandfather said. I smiled.
"Of course! Now when I know about you don't think that you'll lose me that easily." I gave him a bear hug. We both smiled at each other with teary eyes. Next I turned to Gabriel. He stared at his feet, as if they suddenly had become very interesting. I took him by surprise when I gave him too, a bear hug. He was startled at first but eventually he hugged me back.
"See you later Gabriel!" I said and smiled.
I smiled the whole ride home. And before I knew it I was in Magnolia. As I was walking back to the guild I remembered the silver key that I got. Gabriel had given it to me after me and grandfather had finally stopped crying. The money was paid by grandfather and also laid at the bottom of the bag I had bought with Gabriel when I first arrived. I remembered that I hadn't looked at what it was yet. I stopped in the park and sat down on a bench. I fished up the key and studied it. It was in a silver, almost white tone. It didn't look like any of my other silver keys. I suddenly got really excited and summoned the celestial spirit. In the shadows of a silvery smoke a tall figure rose. The smoke cleared and I dropped my chin. Because in front of me, with silver scales shifting in red and yellow, big fangs and blue eyes, where a dragon. It was no where as big as Acnologia but it must have been at least 15 feet tall. He studied my face and I quickly composed myself.
"My name is Lucy Heartfilia. A celestial mage! What might you name be?" The dragon took a couple of moments to answer.
"My name is Demarcus. Might you be Lena Heartfilia's daughter?" His voice was deep and slightly hoarse. It was simply a beautiful voice. I cleared my throat. It felt a bit dry.
"*cough* *Hrm* No... I am her granddaughter." I said. A thundering noise came from Demarcus. It sounded like falling tree's or a roaring thunder. It took a while for me to realize that he was laughing.
"The granddaughter of my first master! Delightful!" I stared at the dragon as he started to laugh again. I was a bit relieved that it was very few people in the park. The dragon was very loud.
"W-what kind of magic do you use?" I asked. Still a bit shaken of the dragons sudden laugh. The laughter died down. The dragon looked at me again.
"I have silver magic. It is like maker magic. I use my scales to make stuff." The dragon looked puzzled for a moment. "I have also been told that I have another magic... but I really don't know what that is." I was amazed. I had never met anyone or anything with silver magic before.
"Which days are you available?" I asked. Demarcus started to laugh again.
"Any day! Except valentine! I'm scared of those stupid couples! And Lucy dear, you don't need to make a contract with me! You already have it!" He gave me a paper out of nowhere. "Well then bu-bye!" Before I could say anything he had disappeared in a puff of smoke. I gaped at the empty spot where he had been and then at the paper. As he had said. Everything was neatly written. He had even signed it. I wondered how he had been able to write with those claws. I grabbed a golden pen from my bag and signed my own name right under his name. In a silver light the paper disappeared. The contract was sealed.
I smiled all the way to the guild.
Even more than before.
