A/N: Well i have no classes today
So i decided why not give you a sneak-peek into the next chapter.
I hope you enjoy the preview.
Gildarts POV
Makarov, Laxus and I were the first through the doors to greet Princess Lucy. My mind was everywhere. Blonde long hair in a braid, big brown eyes that shine life into anything they see. Layla, it's my wife, my one true love.
Wait no it's not. This girl is young around 19-20 years old and she doesn't seem to know me. She runs to Laxus and hugs him. He hugs her back and smiles.
"Excuse my manners. I should have acted more appropriate." Her eyes go a to a dim light brown with barely any life to give as she remembers her place.
"Mama?" I hear a mumbled whisper and i look to my right and see that it's my darling daughter Cana.
Lucy POV
I hear the guest arriving and i see Laxus. I don't know what came over me but I ran to him and hugged him. Considering the looks everyone gave i knew he wasn't someone to hug back. I was going to let go but i felt muscular arms wrap around my waist. I look up and see him smile.
Then i see the angel design on the ceiling of the hall i pull away.
"Excuse my manners. I should have acted more appropriate." I couldn't help the sadness that washed over me.
"Mama?" I thought i heard someone whisper but my mind has been out of place so i ignore it.
"Hello Master." I greet the small old man with a kiss on the cheek
"Hello my lady." He greeted back with a big smile.
"Would you mind Introducing me to everyone once we enter the Ballroom?" I can't wait to meet everyone. I've only talked to everyone once but no one knew it was me. It was when the Master's grandson had a plot to take over the guild. That's how i met the Master he said i help bind everyone together to overcome a great obstacle and for that he'd always be grateful.
"Of course my dear, lead the way." With that everyone one follows me to the ballroom.
"LUCILLIA!" I hear my father and i know he's very upset. "I thought i told you to send a maid when the guest arrive."
"I did, she~" I felt could hard melt rip my dress and tear through my skin.
"I told you a lady does not make excuses."
"I'm sorry father." I choke out and i feel the knife come out.
"go get that to stop bleeding, i'd hate to have blood on my floors." It's unbelievable how he doesn't care that everyone is watching.
"Yes father." I reply before getting virgo's key from the thigh strap under my dress. I call her out and ask her to help me dress the wound.
"I am sorry Fairy Tail i will be back when i am more appropriate to host. please excuse me." I look back and see their faces at what just happened.
Master Makarov seems shocked and mad.
The man next to him looks like the man in my dreams, wow that sounds wrong… the man in my dreams that i call 'daddy', he looks like he's ready to jump on my father. It truly is strange, a stranger ready to jump my father because of what he saw many of my class would just be shock but wouldn't give it a second thought.
Natsu and Laxus have a murderous glint in their eyes with a mixture of worry, concern and love. the love in their eyes are different natsu look of love is for people who share blood. He's looking at me like i'm family and not a stranger who hired him.
Laxus is looking at me with a mixture of emotions, confusion, love, not the kind you give a lover or wife but your soul mate one that promises forever, shock from what he just saw, concern and worry. His eyes are like a book but if i wasn't who i was he'd just look shocked.
The rest the guild are shocked and concern with a dark aura around them. I don't understand why they care what he does to me. I have many scars on my back from a whip and abdomen from a knife. They don't know me. Why should they care.
"Princess, we have to dress the wound before you lose more blood" Virgo says to me
"Of course, If you will all excuse i will see you later." I stand straight and call loke to my side and tell him to help the guest find their way. I walk away like nothing happened and go to my room to change and dress my wound to stop the bleeding.
Third Person POV
"LUCILLIA, I thought i told you to send a maid when the guest arrive." They all turn to the owner of the voice who seems very upset.
"I did, she~" the blonde princess started to say but a shining metal knife stop her sentence. Everyone looked ready to pounce on this stranger.
"I told you a lady does not make excuses." Everyone had only one thought in their mind and that was 'Who the hell did this fucker think he was to hurt a beautiful blonde with no reason.' before they could pounce on the stranger. they hear her reply
"I'm sorry father" her father?! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DAD STABBED HIS OWN DAUGHTER!
"go get that to stop bleeding, i'd hate to have blood on my floors." THAT'S ALL HE CARES ABOUT!
everyone was shocked at the scene they have just witnesses.
"Yes father" Her voice was still strong she reaches under her dress and two keys appear Everyone realizes that they are celestial spirit keys she calls one called virgo out and asks for help to dress the wound. The princess turned to us and said
"I am sorry Fairy Tail i will be back when i am more appropriate to host. please excuse me." She apologized what the hell for! It wasn't her fault then she pauses a moment before leaving and takes in everyone's reaction and she seems shocked. No one understands why, then she looks at the key she is holding and calls out loke. WAIT HOLD THE FUCK UP! LOKE IS A SPIRIT?!
"Please help them around and enjoy yourself too. They are your nakama. I'll be back soon. If it is not too much trouble please also explain what my father does. i do not want to create chaos when i get back." she said it to just him but it was so quiet everyone heard.
She looks lost in thought then Virgo speaks
"Princess, we have to dress the wound before you lose more blood" everyone takes notice of the red sticky liquid running down her right leg and how it has soaked a good portion of her dress.
"Of course, If you will all excuse i will see you later." Everyone is shocked to see that she walks with grace as though nothing has happened.
"Sir Jude," Loke speaks up and addresses the blonde man in front of them "Would you like me to escort the guest to the ballroom while you get dressed?" They can all tell by the voice of likes that he's trying really hard to not kill the man in front of him.
"Yes, Leo. Please do and welcome any other guest that come. I will be back down to host in 2-3 hours i have to finish some documents." The blonde man, Jude, has hatred laced in his word but not directed at loke but at his daughter.
"Of course sir." Loke is extremely mad.
"If you will all excuse me i have work to attend too. If you need anything ask Lucillia or the maids they will help you." everyone gave a nod and like that Jude was off to his office.
Loke POV
DAMMIT ALL! I SWEAR TO THE SPIRIT KING I WILL KILL THAT FUCKER CALLED A FATHER FOR HURTING LUCY!
I remember that my nakama is here and i have to explain. Ugh i hope they don't cause a scene.
"EXPLAIN WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!" Natsu and Gray yell the question in everyone's mind.
"According to what she has told me she has been abused ever since her mother, Lady Layla, died. First it started with a hard slap to her wrist. Then to a slap on the cheek. Then punches became an option, Kicking became an option too. about 5 or 7 years ago he started using a whip and just recently these past 2 years he's been using a knife he has a sword too when he is not drowning in paperwork he cuts her up. From what i have seen it is mainly her back and abdomen. She has scars covering her majority of her back. She only has a few scars on her stomach but they are extremely deep."
I finished and they all look ready to kill especially Laxus. I don't think i have ever seen him even care for anyone outside of the Thunder God Tribe. It was undeniable, the look in his eye, the look of concern love and murderous.
"How could she walk away with such gracefulness like nothing happened, she lost a lot of blood she should have been trying to stop the bleeding or walked away with some pain but she walk like she was floating on a cloud." Elfman never says anything like this, he would usually yell about how 'MANLY' she handled that.
"As i told you guys she has gone through this since her mom died."
"How long ago was that" This time it was Laxus who question. Everyone was shocked to say the least to see Laxus care for someone out of his team was something that never happened. EVER.
"My mother died when i was 5 years old. Please excuse what you just saw. I do apologize for the interruption, I would love to get to know all of you and form a friendship with everyone if you would accept my friendship." I turn and see my Princess.
"I will go back to the Celestial World now." I was about to poof away but my lady replied "Nonsense Loke, This is your nakama. Please stay and enjoy the event." she said with a smile that just barely reached her eyes "And you can stay with my magic," I looked at her shocked she knew i could come out on my own magic, I guess she saw how shocked and hurt i was at her statement "It will give me an excuse for being tired and need to retreat back to my bedroom." she stated with rush.
"Sure Lucy." She gave me a big genuine smile. One i have never seen before.
"Hi I'm Levy and this is Gajeel and Pantherlily." Levy was the first to paroch Lucy
"What a pleasure to meet you Levy." She gave the small script mage a big smile. "Great to see you again Gajeel, i see you have an exceed now and a lovely girlfriend! I'm so happy you have finally forgiven yourself and move beyond your past you deserve a happy life."
Gajeel and Levy both blushed furiously
"Did i say something wrong?" Lucy was confused because she didn't know they weren't a couple before i could clarify Pantherlily spoke up.
"You see my lady they are not together like that." Pantherlily tried to ease the awkwardness "Oh my lord! You are soo adorable you must be Pantherlily! It's such a pleasure to meet you would you mind if i hugged you?" My princess is just the cutest when excited!
"Uhh… Sure my lady" She scoped him up in a hug and told him to call her lucy because she wants to be friends not clients. With a small blush Pantherlily agreed.
"So how do you know Gajeel?" Levy questioned
"LOKE!" Erza called to me and as scary as she is i was hesitant to leave Lucy's' side.
"Go to catch up with your nakama, I'm a big girl and i promise i won't bite them." She said with a small smile and a wink.
"Thank you" I bow and pick her hand up place a kiss on the back of her right hand. With that i walk away from my princess and toward the requip mage.
