Ice can heal a broken heart

A/N: back so soon? I couldn't be happier!

Disclaimer: I do not own fairy tail.

"This isn't a joke Lucy" she had gotten deathly serious "either you learn to control this magic quickly, or a lot more people than just Gray will die."

Lucy's POV.

She has to be kidding. "I'm not risking Gray's life just for this. It's ridiculous. I'd rather not learn the damn magic if that's the case." I glared at Daire and she got a Mira aura... Only it seemed scarier somehow.

"We have to start for a reason. Remember I said there's TWO dragon magics. The Angel side is fine. You don't need anything to control it other than the pure kindness in your heart... But the demon side" Daire looked away, almost in shame, as she said this, "Likes to mess with our heads. If you don't learn to control it or neglect its power for even a millisecond, it will take you over and turn you dark."

I frowned at the information but gave a resigned sigh. I know she knows more about this that she's not telling me, but I don't have the heart to ask with the look on her face. That, and a feeling of discomfort coming through the bond that I had recently started to notice. "Fine. But I'm not using Gray. You say I have to train the demon side, find a bad guy."

She looked at me sympathetically again. "I intend to use Gray's malevolent feelings towards your... Well you know who..." I growled in annoyance. Of course my twin would be smart enough to do that. Goddamit. I clenched my fists before releasing them in an attempt to calm down.

"One condition. You knock me out if I don't stop. No matter how much it hurts you when it hurts me. If he dies, then all of Fairy Tail will hunt you down. And whilst they may not be able to hurt, or kill you, they will bring you suffering. Understood?" I used the most sickly sweet voice I could, knowing that Daire could sense the inner rage. She nodded grimacing, before heading off to tell Gray the plan a little quicker than I expected.

Gray's POV

I looked at myself in the mirror again, not used to my Silver hair and lilac eyes before noticing I'd lost my shirt again. I sighed and picked it up, wondering if the magic store down the street could provide me with an enchantment that would prevent my stripping habit from acting up.

As I was engrossed in my thoughts, Daire handed me my shirt that I had thrown off again. I pushed my hand through my hair in exasperation before looking up to her. "Lucy needs your help with this part of the training..." I could sense that there was something that she wasn't telling me so I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at her. Visibly flinching she replied, "It could kill you... If it's done wrong..."

I roll my eyes at the distrust of her own twin. "Wherever we are, we still hold a piece of faith in our hearts. I have faith in Lucy, you should too" and with that I brushed past her and head out into the forest that was close to the hotel we were staying at. "Lucy?" I called out, unsure of where she was, when I heard her curse and stumble backwards over a branch.

I reached out and caught her before she could fall, however Daire decided to intervene by tripping me backwards, causing Lucy to sprawling on top of me in an awkward and painful position. I groaned and rolled her off to the side before standing, back turned to her, holding my Crown Jewels. "You'll pay for that Daire..." I winced at the small crack in my voice as I said this, whilst Daire just sat on a stump laughing

I took a deep breath and turned back around, ready to start whatever Daire deemed as a life threatening situation for myself. "What do I have to do?" She grinned and walked up to me so that her face was right in front of mine.

"You, mr. stripper..." She glanced down at my bared chest. DAMMIT when did that happen... I sighed and pulled my shirt back on. "You're going to start releasing magic, thinking about what you're going to do to Lucy's rapist when you find out who it is."

Rapist...rapist...rapist.. That one word echoing in my head caused my vision to go red I hadn't known what had happened to her, but now that I did I was furious. The fact that it was a guild member made it worse.

Somewhere in the background of the ringing in my head caused by the rage I was feeling, I heard Daire shout something to Lucy. I said three simple words. Unable to hear them myself, but sure Lucy could. "I trust you." That's when I felt a pull at my own magic resources. I resisted it at first but it became painful if I did. As soon as it had started it stopped, and I fell to the floor panting a little at the effort it took to keep me knelt up "The hell was that!?" I shouted at Daire, before panting more.

She rolled her eyes and pressed a hand to my shoulder, and I could feel my magic replenishing slightly, as well as positive happy emotions flooding my mind. Daire winked and mouthed 'Angel magic' before going over to Lucy.

I simply sat down on the makeshift stool Daire had vacated and watched a little absentmindedly as Daire started teaching Lucy about her new magic. As I was watching her, a stray thought caught on, and I started to follow it more. If Lucy has new magic... And a new look no one would recognise her, but whilst I had a different appearance, my magic was well known throughout the whole of Fiore, and possibly even Enca with the amount of times I've been in Weekly Sorcerer.

Almost as if sensing my thoughts, Daire left Lucy to practice controlling the demon magic she acquired. "Now then lover boy, what to do with you..." She looked me up and down before clicking her fingers and pulling out a communications lacrima.

"Yup. Sorry to bother you cuz, but I need your particular expertise with this one... No... Shut up and get your ass over here or I'm telling Alicia about you expedition last week" she rolled her eyes as I stared at her confused.

She shut of the lacrima and turned to face me, "You're an alchemical Mage, making things from ice. My cousin has a similar ability. Whilst you were zoned out I gave you two new names. You're going to be Silver Argmentum the Metal make Mage. And Lucy is now Lux Corda Draconis. I'm Daire Diaboli Draconis." She didn't give me any time to react before heading back to Lucy.

Silver and Lux... I liked the names.

Lucy's POV

Daire was right about dragon slayer magic being completely different from celestial magic. I had gotten so used to directing magic into an object as a holder Mage, but this was the complete opposite. I was supposed to be using iron fist of the demon dragon, but instead of encasing my fist in the black and red magic, it kept escaping out in small bursts.

I started to get frustrated with myself for not being able to get a single move down, and kicked a branch away from me in anger. That seemed to be new as well. Instead of my usual calm and thoughtful demeanour, I just wanted to start a fight. I then wondered if all dragon slayers were this hotheaded.

I tried to copy the move Daire showed me agin, only to growl in frustration at my failed attempt before closing my eyes and lashing out with any magic I could find, not realising just what magic I was using. When I opened my eyes again the forest looked sick. The leaves were a putrid yellow colour and the trees themselves had turned black.

A/N: don't forget to leave a review! I'm glad I could finally get back into the swing of posting 3
