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
*After dinner*
Natsu carries a sleeping Wendy over to the couch and puts a blanket over her
Lucy is sitting on a single couch reading a novel for English. Natsu walks over to Wendy's bag and pulls out the little cat plush she has, putting it next to her.
Lucy: I wonder when the others are getting back *the others being Layla, Igneel and Ruby*
Natsu: I don't know. Dad's usually home by now
Lucy: that's odd
Natsu: Yeah. I'll call him. *picks up his phone and dials Igneel's number*
Natsu: (Come on dad. Pick up)
Lucy: *when Igneel doesn't answer* maybe I should call my mum
Natsu: Y.. yeah. I'm gonna try calling him again. *dials Igneel's number again*
Lucy dials Layla's number
Natsu: *pacing anxiously* Come on dad. Please pick up the phone
Lucy: (come on mum answer the phone)
Natsu: He.. he's not picking up
Lucy: I'll try my mum again *dials Layla's number*
Phone: Hello. You've reached the number of Layla Heartfilia. I'm sorry, but I am unable to take your call at the moment. If you would like to leave a name, number and brief message I will return your call as soon as I can
Lucy: *hangs up* something's not right, my mum always answers her phone
Natsu: I'll try calling dad again. *dials Igneel's number*
Phone: hello. you've reach Igneel's phone. I'm sorry, but I'm unable to take your call at the moment. If you would like to leave a name, number and a brief message I will get back to you as soon as possible
Natsu: *hangs up* No luck with dad either
Lucy: what should we do?
Natsu: We can't do anything if we have to look after Wendy. We should wait for Grandine to get here and ask her.
Lucy: *nods* yeah, sounds good
Natsu: I'm gonna move Wendy into my bed.
Lucy: okay
Natsu carefully picks up Wendy so he doesn't wake her up and takes her into his room
*Lucy's phone rings*
Lucy: *pulls out her phone* hello
Sting: Hello, princess
Lucy: *frowns* what do you want sting?
Lucy: he doesn't want to speak with you
Sting: I wanna talk to pinky. Well. To be accurate your father wants to
Lucy: *eyes widen* what does my father want with Natsu?
Sting: Do I really need to tell you based on what he is
Lucy: how did you find out about that?
Sting: There are always various ways of determining information princess. *a scream can be heard in the background*
Lucy: mother. What are you doing to her?
Sting: Oh, I'm not doing anything
Lucy: then who is hurting my mother
Sting: *chuckles* You really need to ask?
Lucy: *eyes widen and tears pour down her face* w..what w..will it take t..to m..make him stop?
Sting: Put pinky on the phone. Your father wants to talk to him
Lucy: *sniffs* o..okay
Lucy: *walks up to Natsu's room* Natsu
Natsu: *walks out of his room and closes the door quietly, seeing Lucy's tears* P..princess? what's wrong?
Lucy: m..my f..father wants t..to speak t..to you
Natsu holds his arms out for her
Lucy hugs Natsu after passing him her phone
Natsu: *wraps his arm securely around Lucy* Hello?
Jude: hello Mr Dragneel
Natsu: I heard you wanted to speak to me
Jude: yes, that is true. Now explain to me white a half breed such as yourself is sleeping with my daughter
Natsu: *whispers to Lucy* He knows
Lucy: *sniffs* I had a feeling he knew
Natsu: *to Jude* What does it matter if I have slept with her?
Jude: she is my daughter after all. Maybe I should discuss this with your father, would you like to speak to him. He's here right next to me
Natsu: D..dad?
Jude is standing next to Igneel who is chained to a wall. He holds the phone in front of Igneel then puts the phone on loud speaker
Igneel: n..Natsu?
Natsu: Dad?
Igneel: *coughs* you need to protect Lucy
Natsu: Dad where are you?
Igneel: *coughs* t..the H..Heartifilia mansion
Natsu: I.. I'll come get you
Igneel: no you can't Natsu. you'll get injured. And I don't want what happened to Kimiko to happen to Lucy
Natsu: Dad I can't just leave you there! *a tear falls from his eye onto Lucy*
Jude: now listen here. You bring Lucy here and I'll let your father go
Natsu: You son of a bitch
Jude: what horrible language, but I should expect that from a beast. Now bring Lucy here and I'll set your father as well as Layla free
Natsu: *looks at Lucy and puts the phone on loudspeaker* What happens if I don't?
Jude: then I'll have to punish them instead. And I'm not in the best mood at the moment boy
Lucy eyes open widen, she starts shaking tears pour down her face
Natsu: Would you be willing to take me in her place?
Jude: that is not an option boy. Either bring Lucy here or your father and Layla will be punished in her place
Lucy sobs into Natsu's chest
Natsu: I...
Jude: you what?
Natsu: C..can I talk to my dad?
Jude: this will be your last chance, don't waste it *holds the phone in front of Igneel*
Natsu: Dad... I.. I don't know what to do...
Igneel: just forget about me Natsu, keep Lucy safe
Natsu: B..but I can't just leave you and Layla there to get hurt
Igneel: I know Natsu. *sighs*
Lucy: w..we have to help them
Natsu: I'm not gonna lose any of you
Lucy: *sniffs. She pulls away from Natsu* I..I'm s..sorry *she glows brightly and teleports out of the house*
Natsu: Lucy!
Lucy appears in front of the Heartfilia mansion. She walks up to the front door and rings the door bell
Natsu: *to Jude* You son of a bitch if you hurt any of them I'm gonna put you in the ground myself
Jude: I don't make a habit of making promises with beasts. And I certainly won't start now boy
Natsu: Dad! Dad I'm gonna get you out!
Igneel doesn't answer
Jude: sorry it appears your father has fallen unconscious
Natsu: DAD
Jude: *hears the doorbell* Sting get the door. *to Natsu* it appears I have what I want. Good bye Mr Dragneel *hangs up*
Natsu: *still yelling into the phone as Grandine walks in* DAD! DAD!
Grandine: what's wrong Natsu?
Natsu: Wendy's in my room. Stay safe. *he runs out of the house and to the Heartfilia mansion*
-at the Heartfilia mansion-
Lucy rings the door bell
Sting: *opens the door* Hello
Lucy: *looks down* I.I'm here a..as requested
Sting: Your father is in the courtyard
Lucy: o..okay *steps inside and heads for the courtyard*
She walks outside to see Igneel chained and covered in blood and various wounds and unconscious. Layla is lying on her side in the grass unconscious as well, her dress ripped
Lucy: mother! *runs to Layla and kneels beside her* I..I'm s..sorry
Sting: Nice try, princess. But she's already unconscious
Lucy: *looks at sting* y..you're a monster for going along with this
Sting: *shrugs* I've been called worse
Lucy: *stands up and starts glowing* I'm going to make you pay for everything you've done
Sting: *walks over to Igneel and holds a knife against his throat* Nuh uh, princess. If you attack, the knife may slip
Lucy: *eyes widen. She drops to her knee's and she stops glowing* what do you want from me?
Sting: It's not what I want. It's what your father wants. You are powerful, but you are not suitable for his use yet. You need to be broken until you are
Lucy: w..what? *tears pour down her face*
Sting: Sir. What do you want to do if the halfling shows up?
Jude: I already have barriers up around the property. He cannot get in
Sting: With all due respect, you should not underestimate him
Jude: then you hold him off
Igneel wakes up and sends a fireball straight at Jude
Jude: *jumps out of the way* Sting restrain the beast
Igneel turns to Sting and starts snarling, his canines elongating
Lucy: Igneel please stop
Igneel: *looks at Lucy* You foolish girl
Lucy: *tears pour down her face. She speaks to Jude* I'm here, now let Igneel and mother go
Igneel: Lucy, don't
Lucy: I don't want any of my friends and family hurt because of me
Igneel looks at Jude and his eyes turn dragon-like, scales forming on his skin and smoke coming from his mouth
Sting: WHITE DRAGONS CLAW *the attack hits Igneel in the face knocking him unconscious but his features stay dragon-like*
Lucy: no stop *she covers her face with her hands and sobs*
Jude walks over to Igneel and examines the dragon-like features
Lucy: *looks up* stop, leave him alone
Jude: Interesting... I wonder how much research such a specimen could provide
Lucy: leave him alone. I'm here now let Igneel and mother go
Jude: Silence Lucy. I am not in the best of moods
Lucy: I won't be quiet. Not until Igneel and mother are safe
Jude: *turns to Lucy* Why do you care about this beast?
Lucy: because he is a friend
Jude: Sting. Take Lucy to her room to get changed
Layla groans
Lucy: why do I need to get changed? I'm fine with what I'm wearing. Mother *turns to Layla*
Jude: I am having some guests come by the house later. You must be decent for when they arrive
Lucy: what guests?
Jude: Guests who are interested in the beast
Lucy: *concentrates and puts a barrier around Layla and Igneel* I won't let you hurt him or mother
Jude: *walks up to Lucy and slaps her* Go to your room and get changed
Lucy: *clutches her cheek* n..no
Jude: Maybe you should know, they are also interested in the half-beast. If you wish to keep HIM safe, you will go to your room and get changed
Lucy: *tears pour down her face* I..I c..can't
Jude: And why not?
Lucy: *stands up and moves back, keeping the barriers up* what will it take for you to leave them alone
Jude: You need to start being obedient
Lucy: why do you want me to be obedient?
Jude: I do not need to explain myself to you young lady
Lucy: then I don't have to obey you.
Jude: Then I don't have to keep the halfling alive
Lucy: *eyes widen* w..what?
Jude: Sting. Bring him out
Lucy: what are you talking about?
Sting snaps his fingers and Rogue and Cobra walk out holding Natsu by the arms. He's covered in serious injuries and it's clear from the look of them that Cobra used his magic to inflict them
Lucy: *eyes widen, tears pour down her face* Natsu!
Jude: Wake it up
Cobra: of course *punches Natsu until he wakes up*
Natsu: *panting, his eyes clouded he looks up at Cobra and spits blood on his face* F..fuck you
Cobra: *wipes the blood off his face* I wouldn't do that if I were you pinky
Jude: *to Lucy* He ran after you. It's a funny thing about dragons, Lucy. Once they find a mate they will risk anything and everything to keep them safe.
Lucy: Natsu?!
Natsu: *looks over at Lucy* P..princess... Are you... okay?
Lucy: I..I'm f..fine. b..but y..you're i..injured
Natsu struggles against Rogue and Cobra's grip
Cobra: *punches Natsu* stop struggling pinky
Lucy: s..stop it. p..please s..stop it
Natsu: ngh... *he looks up at Cobra and smirks* H..how do you like your snake? Medium or well done
Lucy: *sobs into her hands* stop it just stop it
Jude: I had heard there was a dragon living in Magnolia. I never imagined there would be a halfling as well
Lucy: o..okay I..I'll d..do w..what you say. j..just l..let t..them go
Jude: Go and get dressed so we can talk in a civilised manner
Lucy: *sniffs* o..okay *walks back towards the mansion*
Natsu: *struggling against Rogue and Cobra again* LUCY!
Lucy glances at Natsu, tears pour down her face. She looks away and walks inside
Jude: you see Mr Dragneel, a half-ling such as yourself will never be with my daughter
Natsu: *struggles even more, managing to loosen Rogue's grip* She is not something you can control
Rogue tightens his grip
Cobra has Cubeleous restrain Natsu
Jude: I must disagree with you half-ling.
Natsu yelps in pain as Cubelous squeezes him tighter, aggravating his injuries
Jude: *looks at sting* ensure Lucy gets ready, do what you want with her
Sting: Of course. *walks away*
-with Lucy-
Lucy is rubbing her eyes. Sitting on her bed hugging a dragon plushie
Sting slams the door open
Lucy: *looks up at sting then looks back down* w..what d..do you want?
Sting: Your father wants you to get dressed
Lucy: I can't get dressed with you in here
Sting: I don't even see you anywhere near a dress
Lucy: *stands up and pulls a pink gown out of her wardrobe* there, I have a dress
Sting: Then put it on
Lucy: *blushes* not with you in here
Sting: I'm not leaving until you're dressed
Lucy blushes. She places the plush toy down and unzips her dress, revealing her red bra and underwear. Sting stands in her doorway unmoving. Lucy grabs the corset off her bed then undoes her bra which drops to the ground
Sting: Would you like some help?
Lucy: *blushes* y..yes
Sting walks up to her and ties the corset
Lucy: can you at least talk, I thought you said we're betrothed
Sting: We are. But you seem to be against me talking
Lucy: it would be better than having to stand here in silence
Sting: What would you like to talk about?
Lucy: anything. I just want to stop thinking about what's happening *slips on the gown*
Sting sighs
Lucy: what?
Sting: The guests that you father has coming over. Two of them are Natsu's other family
Lucy: you must be talking about Zeref and his other father
Sting: Yes
Lucy: *sits down in front of the mirror and puts her hair up* so you're just going to stand there
Sting: What do you expect me to do?
Lucy: *sighs* I don't know *a tear trickles down her face*
Sting: Come on. You're dressed now.
Lucy looks in the mirror then down at her hands. She puts her hands on her face and sobs
Sting: What is it now?
Lucy: I'm going to lose everything I care about.
Sting: Why do you say that?
Lucy: I'm going to lose Natsu and Igneel because of some stupid experiments, I won't be able to see my friends anymore and my mother has already been beaten. How would feel if you lost all the important things in your life?
Sting: You father will have moved Natsu and Igneel before the guests arrive. And your mother will most likely be having her injuries tended to
Lucy frowns. She focuses and sends a wave of white magic at sting. Before he knows what's happening she sits on top of him so he's unable to move
Sting: What are you doing?
Lucy: I'm going to show everyone what I'm capable of *she pulls out her keys* open gate of the twins, Gemini *Gemini appears in a puff of smoke*
Sting looks at Gemini
Lucy: *to Gemini* I need you to transform into sting here
Gemini transforms into Sting
Lucy: *with her magic she binds stings wrists and ankles. She stands up* now can you see what I'm partially capable of
Sting: I never doubted you
Gemini: *turns to Lucy* What now?
Lucy: we're going to stop my father and free Natsu, Igneel and my mother
Gemini nods
Lucy: *looks at sting* if you never doubted me then why did you think a spell like that would work
Sting: *smirks* In case you're forgetting princess. It did
Lucy: but I broke out of it.
Sting: It still worked
Lucy: *sighs* if you wanted so much power, why go after me when there are so many other ways
Sting: Life magic is one of the most powerful types of magic
Gemini: Master Lucy. We should go.
Lucy: well I guess you're screwed then. Because I won't follow your orders. and you're in no position at the moment to be making any. *turns to Gemini* lets go *heads for the door with Gemini holding her arm*
Gemini: Where are we going first?
Lucy: you should know, you have stings memories and personality
Gemini: It is your decision, Master Lucy.
Lucy: take me to where Natsu and Igneel are. I need to free them first
Gemini nods and takes her to the basement of the mansion
