Laxus P.O.V.
I was in a panic. Lucy wasn't in the apartment. All I found was a note saying "I'm going home. Don't come back for me." I rushed to the guild hall with the crushed letter in my hand. I kicked the doors open, "Who told Lucy to go home!?" I yelled across the guild hall.
"Miss Lucy went home?" Freed stood up. I noticed he looked at Bixlow. No my own team told the love of my life to go.
"Bixlow!" I growled. "What have you done?"
"We can't have you weak, sir. You're our leader. You'll take over for the old man one day, you have to be the strongest you can be." He answered strongly. "The cheerleader was not meant for you anyway."
"You fool! She is my everything! I would have left the guild if she hadn't shown up that day. I missed her too damn much then, I'm not losing her again!" I roared!
I stormed out of the guild hall and ran to the train station hoping she would be there. Just my luck there was Natsu and Gray with Erza sitting not too far behind. Erza stood when she noticed my frantic expression. I was at a loss for words when she said they barely missed her two hours ago.
"She was on a train bound west. She said to give this to you, that you'd know what to do with it." She handed me a silver key with a cross on it. It was the only one we contracted together, the one Layla gave us.
I held the key in front of me. "Open! Gate of the Southern Cross, Crux!" I shouted.
"How can you summon a spirit!?" Gray yelled.
I ignored him. "Grandpa Crux, where's Lucy?"
"In the Heartfilia Konzern now. Directly west from here." He pointed. I took off in a sprint, reach the house in three minutes using my Lightning magic to get there faster. When I landed, I looked around for Lucy for her to be nowhere to be found. I started to run for the main door when it opened.
She came running out in what looked like a plain corset and the bottom of a fairly nice pink dress. The top was ripped. She stood in front of an elegant angel statue. "Guess what mom, I know your alive, I can't wait to see you again. I'm going to be so happy soon, although he wasn't all that formal about it the big idiot finally proposed. Yep, you were right, we will get married one day. I remember you and Ivan telling me how it was important to marry Laxus, I see what you mean now, I need to watch out for him don't I? He's always getting himself into fights with Gray and Natsu. I like my generation of Fairy Tail more than yours though. I love them very much. I've collected ten of the Zodiac Keys, Mom." Slowly, each one of her spirits appeared behind her. "Just like the guild, they're my friends, every single one of them. They all hold a special place in my heart. I know you aren't quite proud of me yet but I'll have all twelve one day, just you wait! Loke came with me today, just in case I ran into trouble. I know what you're thinking though, why didn't I bring Laxus? I didn't know how Dad would react to having a member of the Dreyar Family in the house. I bet you're calling me foolish, but I have to thank Bixlow when I get back to Fairy Tail, Mom. He said I should go home and talk to Dad before we left to go see Ivan. Did you know Dad posted a guard outside my room at night six years ago? I fell in love with my best friend, Mom. I don't think I can be happier right now. I have the best guy in the world. Did you know we fended off Phantom Lord with just two Unison Raids? I finally put my past behind me. I'll look to the future now. My future with Mr. Laxus Dreyar. Just like I always wanted." She had been crying as her spirits slowly faded away where only Loke remained.
Loke gently placed a hand on her shoulder so that she was aware of his presence before he spoke. "Lucy, there is someone waiting for you to come home, you should hurry back."
"I'll always love you, Mummy." She turned in my direction, noticing me for the first time.
"Lucy!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. "I! Love! Lucy! Heartfilia! You hear me, Jude?! I love your daughter! You are just going to have to deal with that! Your daughter is the best thing that happened to me. Thank-you for bringing her into this world!" I bowed to the house when I finished. I looked up to see Jude and Siegrain walk out the main door.
Lucy ran over to me, she clearly used too much magic energy.
"I am disowning you, Lucy. However, you did not know it, you have a brother. In fact I believe you've met him on several occasions. Does Hibiki Lates ring a bell?"
Lucy's mouth dropped in horror. "He's my half-brother isn't he?! You cheated on Mom! No wonder she left you! No wonder she faked her own death! She must hate you!" She shouted with all her might.
"However, Lucy, your father will be very forgiving if you marry me." Siegrain smirked.
"I'd rather die than sell my life to scum like you. You only want my money so you can finish the R-system!" She paused taking in his dumb face. "That's right. I have telepathy magic too. I picked it up from Warren since I've been back at Fairy Tail. That's all you ever think about, huh?"
He glared at her. I looked at her face and smirked. "I'll leave this wipe out to you." I backed a good safe distance.
She positioned her hands over one another. In between her hands has a small glowing ball of light. "Fairy's Law!" She was about to release the spell.
"Lucy! You can't kill them! No matter how much they deserve it. You just can't kill your enemies like this," I separated her hands quickly. "Let's go home, okay? Let's just go home."
"I promised I'd follow you until the end. Lead the way, and I'll be right behind." She sighed then smiled. She took my hand and squeezed it tightly.
I laughed lightly. "Follow closely then." I started to walk then stopped and turned to face a stunned Siegrain and Jude. "We're getting married. You would be invited, but I don't trust you. However you do deserve to know."
"Lucy, please! Your mother would not want it this way!" Jude pleaded.
Lucy laughed. "Mom's alive, Jude. She wanted me and Laxus to be together. We promised each other that we would be there for each other physically and in spirit." She pulled back her hair and showed him the Mark on her neck. "I'm his, I always have." I smiled at her.
"That mark!" Siegrain sputtered. "You mated with her!?"
"Yep!" I smirked. Lucy leaned into me.
"Where is Layla?" Jude asked as we walked away.
"Why should we tell you?" We shouted in perfect unison and kept walking.
Our fingers were laced together as I turned into lightning and brought us home.
