Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima

Lucy POV

"What the hell are you doing this late out?!" Papa yelled. He was sitting in his so comfy chair. He had a bottle of beer in his hand and a couple on the floor. He's drunk again isn't he? "You're not trying to run away are you?! Cause I will-"

"No Papa I was just at school," I talked back. I was too happy to hear his bickering today. All I wanted was to go to my room and relive what just happened at school.

"Did you just interrupt me?!" Dad shouted while standing up. All the maids and employees flinched. They can't do anything about it. Dad would fire them and then they would never have another job again because of how powerful he his. All they could do is either watch, listen to, or just walk away.

Dad starts to walk toward me and before I could process what was going to happen next, a pain stung across my cheek. Then when I tried to look back up at Papa he kicked me in the knee and I fell to the ground. I gasped for air. Papa kept on kicking me in the gut. Then, the worst had happened. Papa grabbed one of his beer bottles and aimed for my head. My eyes widened and tried to move away. It came so fast that it hit my arm. I screamed in pain. The glass had cut me and now my left arm was bleeding. I hugged my arm close to me trying ease the pain until Papa was done with his torture and left to go to his bedroom.

I laid there on the cold, hard floor until I saw a maid's feet in front of me.

"Virgo," I said with a raspy voice.

"Shh," she said with a quiet, sweet voice as she is holding out her hand.

I grabbed her hand and she headed me toward my room. Virgo patched up my arm and put ice on my stomach.

"Thank you," I said as she tucked me into bed. "But you didn't have to do all this."

"Don't worry," Virgo said as she was leaving my room. "Someone needs to take care of you."

And with those words, I fell into a deep sleep. Natsu. Can't wait to see you tomorrow at school.

"Hey Luce," Natsu said. He put his arm around me. I blushed. Eek! He's to close! I pulled down my sleeves even more. I don't want to be a burden to Pink- I mean Natsu.

"H-hey Pink- I mean Natsu."

"Ok I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that," Natsu said while facing me.

I giggled. "Sorry. It won't happen again. Natsu"

He chuckled. "Sooo. My mom wants you to come for dinner today," he said not making eye contact. Aw! That's so cute! Wait... his mom wants to meet me?

"Your mom wants to have dinner with me?" I said a little confused. I just met him yesterday!

"Yeah. You and your parents. And I know it's really early, but she insisted."

"So you were talking about me?" I said smiling.

He blushed. "Well...um...guilty?"

"Ok, I'll come," I replied with a small smile. Dad has a business meeting so he won't be home for a couple of days.

"Great! I got to head to class so I'll see you after school," Natsu said while running off.

I lowered my head so people won't see my ridiculously big smile. Am I falling for him already?

But then someone stopped right in front of me. And it was the person I avoided most.

"What are you doing talking to Natsu, you know my childhood friend that will never be friends with the likes of you?!" Lisanna yapped like a chihuahua.

"Nothing that concerns you," I said walking past her.

And ended up on the floor. She kicked me and I screamed. I almost forgot I still had a big, purple bruise there. I cried in pain. She kicked me one more time until I started to lose consciousness. My eyes were becoming heavy.

"Lisanna what the hell?!"

Huh? Who was that? It sounded like...a boy? I wonder.

Then I drifted off into darkness.
