Chapter 10: Past and Present

NOW LETS START THE STORY!

All was good... Well... Almost... As soon as Lucy returned to the jail, which made Lucy happier than before, ironically enough, questions fueled into her. Mainly the prisoners. All of them asking why on earth would she leave the laps of luxury to come back to this place. Lucy, herself, couldn't answer them for her sake either. Still, anyplace was better than her house. At the moment they were in the cafeteria which added to the commotion for fod. Almost like at Mermaid Heel, like a family.

That was, until the talked quieted down. There and behold was it. The man who sold her to that sting-y guy.

Natsu put a reassuring hand on Lucy's shoulder which Lucy gave a brief nod in reply. She was ready to face her father this time.

…

"Lucy, come on, we don't have time for this" Her father urged as he beckoned her to come over. She remained silent. He turned to glare at her before noticing her attire. Basically, a more casual clothing (Lucy after the time-skip). His face showed disgust.

"Anyways I am bailing her out" Jude declared to Erza. Natsu flinched. Nobody spoke to Erza like that. Instead of attacking him, Erza simply let it slide. "Your daughter has broke INTO Fairy Tail prison. Somebody could've used that way to sneak out of the prison."

"I have the money!"

"... Do you also understand that your daughter has killed someone?" Erza confidently remarked. Lucy's and Natsu's faced looked wide-eyed at Erza. Lucy, for all she's known, never killed somebody! Except in war but she just knocked them unconscious. Hardly any murders! Natsu looked at Lucy who shook her hands in denial.

"We could leak it to Sting and the rest of Mangolia as well..." Erza continued. This made Jude back down with a stricken face. "SHE killed someone!". The red head nodded firmly. Lucy was about to protest but Erza's glare kept her still. Jude continued to stare. Probably taking it all in. He finally spoke.

"If that is the case, I shall take my leave... Lucy, You are now disowned. Don't come to me, and I won't come to you..." Lucy mentally cheered to herself. "Any my estate" Jude finished sternly. This made Lucy stop.

"W-What about Mom? How else am I supposed to visit her?!" Lucy exclaimed. Her mother was buried there. Where else was she supposed to visit her?

"Didn't you hear me? Your disowned! Meaning not my daughter anymore!" Natsu was about to jump in but Lucy didn't back down.

"I was NEVER your daughter in the first place! YOU NEVER TREATED ME LIKE ONE! Not ever since she left" Lucy spat out.

"You had EVERYTHNG anyone could ever want to keep you busy while I was working." Jude yelled.

"THAT'S NOT WHAT A FAMILY IS! It's...something nice! Not...NOT THIS!" Lucy shouted. The two furiously stopped speaking and glared at each other. For a moment, Lucy though it was hopeless to waste her time until her father backed out of the glaring contest. "Well, I'll be on my way... Goodbye" And those were his farewell words.

Lucy was at a loss for words. That man just made her go mad. "Lucy, you ok?" Erza asked cautiously, not wanting the blonde to rage any longer. Lucy breathed in and out. "Nah, I'm ok I guess. Anyway's, why did you lie and say I killed somone?" Lucy asked. The scarlet looked surprised to see her calm that fast but put is aside, "Well, he seemed like an awful man so I lied".

'Just like that' Lucy thought.

"Well that aside, Natsu, someone has been calling you for a while. You left your cellphone" Erza told Natsu as she handed him the phone. "Thanks" He replied only to receive a glare that said, 'do anything THAT stupid again, and you will pay!'. He gulped.

"Lucy, I'm sure you know your way to your cell." Lucy nodded. She remembered how careless this staff was. Well, not unless they tried which was 100%.

…

"LU-CHAN!" A familiar scream echoed. Lucy was in Mira's room, surprisingly, MiraJane asked Levy and Lucy for a room sleepover. Mira's room was very girly and everything was white except for some stuffed dolls here and there. As Mira was in her private bathroom, Levy and Lucy were conversing and looking around, the Plue plush which she received from Natsu at the park a while ago was firmly planted in Lucy's arms.

"Can you believe that MiraJane looked the so tough back then." Lucy exclaimed as she picked up a portrait of Mira in her childhood days. The silver haired beauty has her tied up in a pony tail with a big purple bow, had a dark top with a navy blue skirt. She looked so violent and now she looked perfect.

She continued scanning the pictures on the shelf. One of her, some of the prisoners, and finally of what looked like a family picture. It was all kids except for a teenager. It was definitely a picture of the old days. She could see the young lanky teen Laxus. There was also Elfman, who looked rather non-manish. Erza and Mirajane fighting, who knew they had such a relationship. Natsu, who Lucy had to admit looked adorable. Gray who still had a stripping fettish back then. There were a lot that Lucy could name but one caught her eye. It was someone she hadn't seen before. A really young girl, she had short silver hair and a pink dress. She couldn't help but say "Kawii".(Cute)

"Oh that must be Lisanna!" Levy replied as she leaned into Lucy's space to see what she was talking about. "Lisanna?" Lucy repeated. She thought she heard the name before. Natsu probably mentioned it one time but she forgot when. "MmHmm! When I was in the computer room helping Gajeel and Natsu, I printed some sheets. I got halfway to Gajeel and some of Natsu." Levy replied as she took a slip of paper from her boot and slipped Natsu's sheet towards Lucy.

Lucy uncrumpled it to see lots of facts for Natsu. His blood type was O, Birthday was which he put as N/A, he likes Summer and food apparently. He's a fire dragon-slayer, and he is currently dating a girl named Lisanna. He also was raised from a dragon-. Wait. Rewind. She knew he was dating someone but never thought it she was that beautiful. Her picture was printed along so she now looked older and the short hair grew to her neck, curling a bit inwards. Her blue eyes shone brightly and her smile was genuine. If anything, she was probably a model.

Infact, if she had to say, she resembled- Levy grabbed the sheet of paper Lucy had in her hands and crumpled it back into a small square before slipping it into a boot. Lucy was about ask why she did that before she saw Mira coming.

"Oh now, I didn't think you knew about Lisanna?" Mira smiled. Levy sweat dropped.

"I just know she's dating Natsu" Lucy admitted. "She looks a lot like you" Lucy offered.

"That's because she's my sister!" Mira replied. Levy asked a question this time. "How come a lot of you are kids in the prison?".

"We aren't prisoners. When we were kids, war was happening and a lot of people died. Most parents died like mine and others. Some were taken into slavery, other were found abandoned, and just some were forced to fight in the war. It was terrible until some Fairy Tail soldiers rescued us and took us here to be cared and fed for until we were old enough to make our own decisions. Of course some were spies, even though we knew it, we let them stay. Me and my siblings were abandoned until we were at Fairy Tail. Erza and a few other were taken into slavery. Even Natsu was forced to fight when he was young... Fairy Tail gave anyone a home" Mira spoke, keeping a light tone to it. Lucy and Levy were crying.

"T-That's so sad!" They sobbed.

"It's alright! Anyways, many of us chose to fight in the war but the general of the war and leader in the prison didn't want us to fight because we were his special kids. My sister, Lisanna decided to sneak onto a military truck to fight. She ended up in a coma for years. She was severely damaged. She had to use crutches. She still does but can sometimes walk normally. Lisanna was upset that she had to leave. That she couldn't do anything for her new family. She was going to be sent to a couple of towns away from the general, Makarov's orders. She couldn't become anyone's help. That was until Natsu came along"

Lucy and Levy's tears were already gone but as Mirajane was speaking about Natsu and Lisanna, Lucy didn't want to hear more. Even though it was her sister, she wanted Natsu to tell her if he wanted to.

"I'm going to step out for a bit, please continue without me" Lucy said to the girls as she entered the bathroom. Lucy knew it was obviously a relationship to be spoken so openly. She was curious but so was their friendship. She sighed as she's wondering what Natsu's doing right now. As she began to go back to the room, Lucy found a tiny hole. Not something you could look into but what you could hear through. Curiously, she put her into the side so she could listen.

"Hello? Lisanna?" A masculine voice called out. Lucy knew it. That was Natsu. Lucy scarcely remembered about Erza saying someone's been calling him. This obviously must've been his room he's in. Lucy probably put this for Mira to listen to. MiraJane could know a lot of secrets from Natsu then Lisanna herself.

"I'm doing good, I've just been busy, I'll tell you the whole story when I come over tomorrow." Natsu talked. That's right, Lucy remembered, he gets a free day every 3 months. Yet, 3 months haven't passed, more like 2 but how did Natsu get a vacation earlier. Don't tell me he was going to sneak out.

"Oh yeah, and I got a big surprise! I'm going to take you out to anyplace you want. I'll buy you anything. Don't worry about money." Natsu spoke into the phone.

Lucy flushed. She's avoiding Natsu's relationships but listening to him speak to someone. That was ever worse! Before she could take her ear off and scold herself, she heard a voice whisper "Lucyyy".

Did they hang up already!? "I know your there, I can hear your breathing!(Damn his ears! Lucy thought) You heard my conversation didn't you." At that moment Lucy stopped breathing altogether, probably in hopes of him saying, 'oh maybe I made a mistake' but she knew it was stupid of her. She took air in before speaking. "S-Sorry for eavesdropping, I just..." Lucy spoke to Natsu. If anyone were to see her, they probably thought she was crazy for speaking to a wall.

"PLEASE! Don't tell ANYONE!" Natsu pleaded. "What are you going to do, I heard something about leaving tomorrow?" Lucy said. "Are you eloping!?" She added quickly. Natsu said "Not really, I'm coming back, but recently Elfman told me that Lisanna is really uneasy about our relationship, so I'm going to treat her like a dragon-queen!"

Lucy stifled a laugh as she remembered Natsu's obsession with Dragons.

"Any advice?" Natsu added. "Your asking me!?"

"Well, your a friend"

"Really?"

"And a girl so you do know what girls like"

"I wonder how you ever got a girlfriend"

"Don't and what do you think of my idea's?"

Lucy hummed at the thought.

Lisanna was feeling uneasy lately so Natsu was going to keep together the relationship by...Wait...did he say not really elope?

"What do you mean 'not really' when I sad elope?"

"I'm not going to runaway, I'm going to come back after a week."

"Your going to PROPOSE!" Lucy squealed but quieted down. Natsu groaned. Mumbling something about how it was supposed to be a secret. She then realized, she was now a temporary marriage counselor. If she says anything that could put the relationship off, it would be HER fault. Lucy shivered at the thought.

"Well?" Natsu pressured.

"Well, I think it's not a good idea..."

"Spoiling her? I thought lots of girls loved that!"

Lucy coughed which made Natsu apologize. After all, she was spoiled but never loved it. "Sorry, anyways you think marriage is the best idea to make her stop making her feel uneasy about the relationship? It's good but do you really think that's the best idea. If you propose to her to make her doubts go away, what will you do when your married but she still feels uneasy? Make kids? I think you should just give a heart to heart talk to her. After all you two do love each other! Take it nice and slow" Lucy suggested. She took in a breath of air. Wow. She didn't think she could even say something like that.

"Your saying I'm stupid"

"No, I'm just saying th-" Lucy got cut off

"What do you know, you never had a boyfriend!" Natsu offensively said. Lucy started shouting to the hole. "WHY YOU, I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU UP WHEN I GET THERE! AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT!" Lucy panted after she yelled that out loud. The door was open and two girls were standing there, watch Lucy scream at a wall.

"U-Um... I think I should go to the cafeteria... I need something to cool down" Lucy quickly yelled before running out thinking that Natsu would be so dead.

…

What does she know!

Natsu sighed as he opened up a brief case. He started putting random clothes in, not even organizing it. He put random junk in which was memorial objects and finally, the stuffed cat Happy which Lucy gave to him. He huffed. "Lucy's stupid!" He said to the cat while squeezing it's sides in which the doll said, Aye Sir!

Natsu smiled. He liked the way this cat thought. He put it neatly on top of the suitcase before closing it. Now all he had to do until tomorrow was avoid Lucy or he would be put through Hell and hope that Lucy didn't rat him out. He already decided on a ring.

It was diamond encrusted! Really shiny and blue. He even went shopping with Lucy one time. Natsu asked what she liked which Lucy said was not her style but said most girls would go for diamond. Natsu said what about his ring that he made. It was made out of a single flower, a Daisy with the stem acting as the hole. She said it was cute.

Natsu smiled at the memory. He still had it but it was dead. He needed a flower that lasted forever and never shriveled up. He shrugged and looked at the diamond ring. Lisanna Dragneel here we go!

How about NO Natsu Dragneel. More like Lucy Dragneel. Anyways surprises are sure to come next chapter which means 'no fortresses' left to pass except for one. You probably don't know what it means but some might get it.

Long chapter, hopefully school won't bother me as much. Anyways, I am NaLu motivated. Also I'm playing Kingdom Hearts (Video Game). Please review, it helps a lot!
