Meeting Fate
Lucy's POV
I bowed my head in respect along with Virgo and all the other maids. It was only five minutes after the burial and Jude was already back in the castle. 'He had to have a role in her death. I just know it.' I thought. I had seen him drug her drink. She should still be alive. It was his fault she was dead. I didn't want to be here anymore.
"Virgo?" She turn to look at me, "Yes? Hime-sama?" "Can you help me pack some luggage? Please!" "Sure. I'll go tell Jude-sama that you will be leave…" "NO! I mean, umm….. Please don't tell him. I beg of you." "Why hime?" "No reason. Just please help me." "Okay, I won't tell your father."
We said are parting prayers to mom's grave and went inside the castle. When we made it to my room, I shut and locked the door. I scurried around my room collecting my commoner clothes and packing them neatly into several cases. I packed two of my dresses, my favorite blue and gold one and the dress mom had picked out for me. I searched behind my wardrobe and found my security money. After an hour of packing, I said my final good-byes to everyone, that is except for my father. I was ready to leave now. No longer would I be in the world of royalty. I could be free. 'Here goes nothing.'
I had Virgo take my cases outside so I could easily pick them up on my way out. One of my favorite instructors, Loke, had readied a horse and carriage for my departure. One my way down from my room, I bumped into a drunken Jude. "Watch it, Bitch. Just like yo' momma too!" I nearly punched him in the face, but I forced myself to apologize and walk away.
I made it to the grand entrance and opened the door to freedom. I quickly gathered my belongings and tied it down to the back of the wagon. I looked around one last time. "Ready, Lucy-san?" Loke asked. 'As ready as I'll ever be." I said before sinking into the cozy wagon with Loke by my side.
General POV
The two made their way into a nearby town, where they stopped in front of an apartment complex. Both of the two walked in. Loke watched as Lucy rented a spacious room for herself. The two hugged on last time after all of her luggage was taken to her new home. Believing that this would be the last time to see each other, they said their parting words. Lucy watched as the little wagon that brought her to her new life drove away into the sunrise. The blonde maiden quickly left for her room and looked through the towns papers. She needed a job and she needed one now. Her security money could only suffice for a month at tops. The looked through the adds and found the only job she could find for women…. a waiter for a maid café. She changed into a light pick top and a short demin skirt. She brushed her blonde locks and left for the Haregon Fairy Café.
Lucy walked through the doors and quickly found the manager. She was a red haired women that went by the name of Erza Scarlet. She seemed nice enough, that was until someone made her drop her strawberry cake. Let's just say, there was a human shaped hole in the wall. After submitting her resume, she found out she had gotten the job. She was handed her uniform (Virgo Stardress). She would start tomorrow.
