Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, Natsu and myself hope you're enjoying Flames and Keys . 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
P.S: sorry for the delay guys, I(Lucy) don't have any internet at the moment so for the next month of so the number of chapters I upload isn't going to be as large and won't be as frequent
The songs mentioned in this chapter do not belong to us..
the songs in this chapter are:
- blank page Christina Aguilera
Lucy: *is in the music room playing the piano and singing*
Natsu: *knocks on the door of the music room*
Lucy: w..who is it *sniffs*
Natsu: It's me. Can I come in?
Lucy: *drums her fingers across the keys*
Natsu: Princess?
Lucy: c..come in
Lucy: *plays the piano*
I know there's hurt I know there's pain,
But people change lord knows I've been no saint
In my own way, regret choices I've made
How do I say I'm sorry? How do I say I'm sorry?
I was scared, I was unprepared oh, for the things you said
If I could undo that I hurt you I would do anything for us to make it through
Draw me a smile, and save me tonight
I am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
Paint me a heart let me be your art
I am a blank page waiting for life to start
Let our hearts stop and beat as one together
Let out hearts stop and beat as one forever
How can I erase decisions I've made
How do I go back what more can I say
Natsu walks inside leaving the door open slightly, hesitating before coming closer
Lucy: All that remains are hearts filled with shame
How do we say we're sorry? How do we say we're sorry
I was scared, I was unprepared oh, for the things you said
If I could undo that I hurt you I would do anything for us to make it through
Draw me a smile and save me tonight
I am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
Paint me a heart let me be your art
I am a blank page waiting for life to start
Let our hearts stop and beat as one together
Let out hearts stop and beat as one forever
I'd go back in time and I'll realize
Our spirits aligned and we'd never die
Draw me a smile, and save me tonight
I'll be your blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
Paint me a heart let me be your art
I am a blank page waiting for life to start
Let our hearts start and beat as one together
Let our hearts start and beat as one forever
*tears gather in her eyes*
Natsu sits down next to her. Lucy's hands shaking slightly, tears stain her face. Natsu gently places an arm around her shoulders and pulls her into his chest as she sobs into his chest*
Natsu: *rubs her back* Just let it out
Lucy rips Natsu's arms and cries*
Natsu: (I'm sorry, princess. I couldn't protect you)
Lucy sniffles and sobs
Natsu: A stupid question... but are you okay?
Lucy: k..kinda
Natsu: I.. I won't ask for details if you don't want to talk about it
Lucy: h..he threatened me, he said if I didn't stay with him he would call my father and tell him about my car and that I stayed at your place
Natsu: And you agreed and that's when he...?
Lucy: *sniffs* uh huh
Natsu: S..sorry
Lucy: i..it's not your fault
Natsu: If I hadn't been asleep I could have stopped it from happening
Lucy: y..you wouldn't have been able to stop him. h..he locked the door
Natsu: I can easily break a door down
Lucy: he also had Rogue and Cobra outside the door
Natsu: I've beaten them before
*the loud speakers crackle. Natsu looks up at the noise, his arms still around Lucy
Makarov: this is the principle, can Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia come to my office
Natsu: *looks at Lucy* You ready?
Lucy: y..yeah
Natsu stands up, gently lifting her with him. They walk back to Makarov's office, him keeping his arm around her the whole time. Lucy is looking down as they walk
Natsu: I'm right beside you, okay?
Lucy: o..okay
Natsu knocks on Makarov's office
Makarov: come in
Natsu: *walks in with Lucy beside him* You wanted to see us?
Makarov: yes. Your father is here
Natsu looks over to one of the chairs and sees Igneel
Igneel: so you started another fight I see
Natsu: The guy fucking deserved it
Igneel: Natsu I've told you before, don't swear
Makarov: This is the third time this week a fight has broken out between Natsu and Sting, Mr Dragneel. However this is the first time that they used their magic
Igneel: *frowns* you used your magic?
Natsu: *looks away from Igneel* Y..yeah.. *Igneel can see that his shirt has been badly damaged from the fight, not just from his magic, but from Sting too*
Igneel: and what was your reason for fighting with sting
Makarov: Natsu made some serious allegations. Apparently he had none*consensual relations with Miss Heartfilia
Lucy sniffs. Natsu squeezes her hand and pulls her closer
Igneel: have you thought of bringing sting in to question him?
Makarov: I thought that would be best done after you collected Natsu. We do not want this escalating again
Igneel: of course
Natsu: I'm not leaving Lucy
Igneel: well we can't bring her with us Natsu
Natsu: Then I'll stay. I'm not leaving her after what she's just been through
Igneel: Natsu things need to be sorted out, and they can't do it with you here
Makarov: Natsu. With what happened today you will have to be suspended for at least a week. If it had escalated further, there is no doubt you would have been expelled
Natsu: I don't fucking care. I'm not leaving her
Igneel: Natsu do I need to send you to your fathers house?
Natsu: If you were going to you would have done it already. I'm surprised you've stuck around this long to be honest... Y..you're usually gone by now anyway
Igneel: I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt Natsu
Natsu: Screw you old man. It's not like you care enough anyway
Igneel: *sighs* Makarov I believe we should send Lucy outside
Makarov: I have sent for Erza to collect her, she should be here shortly
Erza: *knock on the door*
Makarov: Come in
Erza: *walks in* you wanted to see me?
Makarov: Yes. I would like you to take Lucy to her class and make sure she's okay.
Erza: of course
Natsu: *pulls Lucy closer, glaring at Erza*
Erza: come on Natsu, let go of Lucy
Natsu: I don't think so, Erza
Makarov: *sighs* Mr Dragneel, would you mind restraining Natsu?
Igneel: sure *grabs hold of Natsu's arms and makes him let go of Lucy*
Natsu: *struggling against Igneel's grip* L..let me go
Igneel: no Natsu
Erza: *takes hold of Lucy's arm* come on Lucy, we have to get to class
Natsu: *watches them go* P..princess...
Lucy: n..Natsu *dragged out the door*
*the door shuts behind Erza and Lucy*
Natsu: *stops struggling and looks at the door as it closes*
Igneel: Natsu we should be going
Natsu: L..let me go old man..
Igneel: *hesitantly lets go of Natsu*
Natsu: *walks out of the office and heads toward the car park*
Igneel: is that everything?
Makarov: Yes. But considering what just happened and what today is, I suggest you keep a very close eye on him
Igneel: of course
Igneel: *walks out of the office and heads to the carpark*
Natsu: *sees Igneel coming and looks away*
Igneel: get in the car Natsu
Natsu: H..how mad are you right now?
Igneel: more than the uniform
Natsu: Are you gonna leave again?
Igneel: *sighs* I wouldn't do that Natsu
Natsu: Why not? You've done it before for a lot less
Igneel: because I know you under a lot of stress today, I need to take that into account
Natsu: *his eyes start watering* Sh..shut up. You wouldn't understand.
Igneel: *sighs* lets just get home
Natsu: I'll walk. *he starts walking home*
Igneel: I'll be following you Natsu
Natsu: Leave me alone. I need some time to think
Igneel: *sighs* fine, but be back by 3. we need to talk
Natsu: *walks over to his car and sits down, closing his eyes and blaring music. He locks the door so Igneel won't disturb him*
Lucy: *is in food class. she looks down at the recipe for strawberry cheese cake*
Lisana: *to Erza* So how was Natsu?
Erza: not so good. he's all emotional, he had to be restrained so Lucy could leave
Gray: I'm not surprised considering what today is
Erza: what is today?
Gray: From what Igneel told me... today is the day Natsu found his mother
Erza: *gasps* no wonder Natsu was such a mess
Gray: *nods* That's also why he never comes to school on this day. I guess something had him really worried
Erza: maybe what he said happened to Lucy was true
Lisana: *looks at Lucy and then back to Gray and Erza* I don't really think that's something we can just ask
Erza: *nods* I agree
Gray: I think we should go and find Natsu. Knowing him he's bound to do something stupid when he's like this
Lisana: *walks over to Lucy* Hi
Lucy: *jumps slightly, she looks up at Lisana* h..hello
Lisana: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you
Lucy: it's not your fault
Lisana: How are you feeling?
Lucy: better *starts mixing the ingredients*
Lisana: H..how was Natsu? Erza said he wasn't doing so good
Lucy: he's upset and stressed
Lisana: H..has he told you anything about th..that day? No one in our group knows about it, not even Gray
Lucy: only a little bit
Lisana: What did he tell you?
Lucy: it's not for me to tell Lisana *pours the mixture into the cake pan*
Lisana: O..oh. Of course not
Lucy: *places the cheese cake in the fridge. she goes back to her desk and starts writing in her book. ignoring sting who is sitting behind her*
Sting: So how's Pinky?
Lucy: *not looking at him* it's none of your business
Sting: Why not?
Lucy: I don't have to tell you why
Sting: Yes you do. It's a part of our deal
Lucy: *flinches. she goes back to her book ignoring sting*
Sting: So? You going to tell me?
Lucy: n..no
Sting: Suit yourself.
Lucy: *her pen shakes in her hand*
Sting: Maybe I should go talk to Pinky. I could've sworn I saw him heading to his car earlier
Lucy: l..leave him alone
Sting: Why would I do that?
Lucy: *looks down* I..I'll go on that date with you
Sting: It's a start.
Lucy: a..a start?
Sting: Yes. A start
Lucy: w..what else do you want?
Sting: I'll tell you when the time comes
Lucy: o..okay
*The end of the day. Gray and Erza walk to the car park to see Natsu's car still parked*
Gray: He's still here? I thought he went home
Erza: I thought so too
Gray: Should we make sure he's okay?
Erza: *nods* yeah
Gray: *walks over to Natsu's car and knocks on the window* Natsu?
Erza: *walks over with gray*
Natsu: *wipes his eyes and then turns to the window* What?
Erza: what are you still doing here?
Natsu: Avoiding going home
Gray: You idiot. Igneel's probably worried sick
Natsu: He wouldn't care. I'll get home and he'll take off for a week anyway
Erza: he's going to be even more angry if you don't get home
Erza: you need to stop making assumptions Natsu
Gray: Natsu, Igneel wouldn't do that
Natsu: I'm not assuming anything. It's what he plans on doing. I know the signs of when he's gonna leave
Erza: *sighs* have you even asked him?
Natsu: No. And I don't plan to. I might as well go 'there'
Gray: Natsu, you wouldn't
Erza: what is there?
Gray: He's talking about his father's house
Erza: Natsu you can't do that
Natsu: Why can't I?!
Erza: you'll end up getting beaten again *tears shimmer slightly in her eyes*
Natsu: At least I'd feel something other than self loathing, even if it is pain
*as they're talking they can hear sting with Cobra and Rogue. As they look over they see him walking out with his arm wrapped around Lucy*
Natsu: *looks away from Sting and Lucy and starts his car, catching everyone's attention*
Gray: Natsu, don't do this.
Erza: please Natsu
levy: *runs over panting* n..Natsu wait
Gray: Levy?
Levy: *panting* I..I overheard Lucy speaking with sting during foods. I found out the only reason she's doing this is so he will leave Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy alone
Natsu: *turns off his car and then gets out, slamming the door with such force it breaks it. He starts heading towards Sting and his gang*
Lucy: *walks along with sting. Looking down at the ground*
Natsu: *walks up to the gang and stops them from going any further*
Sting: get out of the way Pinky
Natsu: I don't think so
Sting: *oh really *snaps his fingers and two body guards come up from behind Natsu. they grab him by the arms* we'll be see you round Pinky *steps into the limo with Lucy who glances over a Natsu, tears shimmer in her eyes. the door is shut then locked*
Natsu: *envelops his body in fire, burning the body guards*
Body guard: grrhh
*the limo drives away. pulling out of the school*
Natsu: If you want to keep those arms you'll let me go
*the body guards let go then walk to their cars*
Natsu: *looks at Rogue and Cobra* Are the two of you seriously okay with what he's done?
Cobra: *shrugs* as long as we follow Sting we don't have to put up with any bullshit
Natsu: You're a fucking psycopath Cobra
Cobra: *scratches cubelious' nose* not sure if I agree with ya Pinky
Natsu: *starts snarling*
Rogue: we should get going. We have work we have to do *grabs Cobra's arm and they walk to their cars*
Cobra: sure sure whatever *follows Rogue*
Natsu: *storms back to the others and in anger punches the window of his car. The glass shatters and jagged pieces dig into his hand and arm*
Erza: n..Natsu? what's wrong?
Natsu: Sting has her. And I know where they're going. *his arm bleeding, he gets in his car and starts it*
Erza: where are they going?
Natsu: They're going to Lucy's. I have to get there before anything happens
Erza: but why are they going to Lucy's
Natsu: Sting wants to watch what her father's going to do to her
Erza: t..that's sadistic
Gray: That's Sting
Erza: Natsu you need to help her
Natsu: You don't need to tell me that. *he gets in his car and drives away at full speed to the Heartfilia mansion*
*with Sting and Lucy*
Lucy: *sits slightly away from sting*
Sting: Oh, don't be like that. You're way too good for the fire breather anyway
Lucy: what makes you say that, I'm nothing special
Sting: On the contrary. You're not only a rare magic user, but your family is wealth and powerful.
Lucy: what's so great about rare magic and money *looks out the window*
Lucy: I want to be loved for who I am, not what magic I use or how much money or power I have
Lucy: *fiddles with her skirt nervously*
Sting: *laughs* You really are naive. Money and power are all that matters in this world
Lucy: *sighs and looks out the window*
*she looks out the window and she can see Natsu's car following them*
Lucy: (Natsu what are you doing?) *shakes her head*
Sting: And once our families are joined we shall have an overwhelming amount
Lucy: who said anything about our families being joined
Sting: Our families request it. It was your father's idea. He wanted power to rival that of some family
Lucy: and when was I going to be asked about this
Sting: You weren't.
Lucy: *frowns*
Sting: I find it intereSting that you've taken a liking to Pinky
Lucy: at least he treats me with respect
Sting: I find it even more intereSting that he's taken a liking to you
Lucy: why do you find it so intereSting?
Sting: The fact that there's only one fire dragon slayer left and he's taken a liking to a life dragon slayer who completely outclasses him
Lucy: whatever *looks back out the window*
Sting: I wonder why he got so worked up when he found out about what we did... Maybe it had something to do with how he found his mother. Beaten. Raped. Alive long enough to smile and tell him it was going to be okay.
Lucy: *clutches her head tears pouring down her face* p..please s..stop it
Sting: Why? I'm simply telling the truth
Lucy: I..I just don't w..want to hear about it
Sting: Too bad because I feel like talking about it. Imagine it though, coming home from school to see that. He ran away for a few months after it happened
Lucy: *starts shaking tears pouring down her face* j..just s..stop. I..I'll do anything
Sting: When he came back he transferred into the public school. No one there knows about it, he didn't know anyone when he got there
Lucy: o..okay you told me, just stop it
Lucy: *moves further away from Sting*
Sting: *sighs* We are almost there
Lucy: where?
Sting: Your mansion of course. You father wants to speak with you
Lucy: *eyes widen. she looks at Sting* y..you t..told him
Sting: Of course. You went back on our agreement yesterday
Lucy: *goes to the door and tries to open it frantically*
Sting: Where are you going to go? Pinky won't be waiting for you
Lucy: *tears pouring down her face* p..please d..don't take m..me there. I..I'll d..do an..anything
Sting: *smirks* Sorry. Ain't gonna happen
Lucy: *keeps trying to open the door. she realises it's useless she grabs her keys*
Natsu: *his car pulls up to the passenger side door* Luce!
Lucy: *bangs on the windows frantically, tears pour down her face* Natsu please help me
Natsu: *nods and grins* Everything's gonna be fine
Lucy: o..okay
Natsu: *speeds ahead of the limo and changes lanes so he's in front of it before suddenly stepping on the brakes. The two cars collide*
Sting: *pulls out his mobile and calls Lucy's father. His phone shuts as soon as they collide*
Lucy: *sent forward and lands on the floor*
Natsu: *the force of the impact causes his head to slam on the steering wheel*
Sting: this is ridiculous *calls Lucy's father after locking the doors*
Natsu: *shakily gets out of his car and to Lucy's door, managing to pull it open before falling to his knees*
Lucy: Natsu *goes to jump out of the car*
Natsu: T..told you it was gonna be o..okay
Lucy: b..but you're injured
Natsu: A d..dragon always g..guards his p..princess
Sting: *smirks and grabs Lucy's arm* then I guess you must be the stubborn younger dragon who challenges the other dragons
Sting: *phone in hand. the phone is ringing. he's calling Lucy's father*
Natsu: *lightning crackles around his body surprising Sting and Lucy*
Lucy: n..Natsu?
Natsu: L..let her g..go...
Sting: no way Pinky. we're betrothed
Natsu: *gets to his feet, barely able to stand* I... don't c..care
Lucy: n..Natsu p..please stop. you're hurting youself
Sting: listen to Lucy, you don't want to get yourself killed
Natsu: If it means she's safe... I don't care *he reaches out and suddenly pulls Lucy behind him before sending an attack at Sting* LIGHTNING FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!
Sting: *jumps out of the way dodging the attack*
Natsu: *panting, his vision starts to blur*
Sting: *appears in front of Natsu and kicks him in the stomach sending him into a brick wall. this knock the wind out of him. he grabs Lucy's wrist grabs their stuff. they walk away*
Natsu: *falls unconscious as the ambulance arrives*
*at the Heartfilia mansion*
Lucy: l..let go of me
Jude: *walks down the hallway* Welcome back. Lucy.
Lucy: h..hello dad
Jude: Would you like to tell me where you were last night, young lady
Lucy: I..I w..was at a friends h..house
Jude: Which friend? That commoner?
Lucy: y..yes
Jude: *suddenly slaps her, knocking her to the ground* Why were you there?
Lucy: *holding her cheek with one of her hands, tears pouring down her face* h..he invited me over'
Jude: And your car?
Lucy: i..it was broken into
Jude: I see.
Lucy: *stands up shakily*
Jude: *as soon as she is on her feet, he slaps her again*
Lucy: *her eyes wide tears pour down her face. she clutches her cheek*
Jude: You useless girl. You cannot follow orders can you?
Lucy: *flinches* I..I'm not useless
Jude: And why do you say that?
Lucy: m..my friends s..said I'm n..not useless
Jude: *laughs* And you believed them?
Lucy: y..yeah
Jude: They are only after money Lucy. That is what everyone is after
Lucy: n..no they're not. they're my friends
Jude: You foolish girl. *he picks her up by the arm and walks her into his office locking the door* Looks like I need to teach you a lesson
Lucy: n..no p..please *backs away*
Jude: *smirks and approaches her*
