Golden Girl Revealed chapter 4
Last chapter was pretty fun writing. I got to describe the lacrima (I could have done a better job though…), and I even gave you some 'Happy' moments lol (see what I did there)
Lucy got out her Fleuve d' Etoiles started to strike the large lacrima. She knew that if she attacked the lacrima enough it would start to crack, and it would eventually break under fault. The three together, Lucy, Taurus, Happy, continually attacked the lacrima until they could see small fractures.
As soon as Lucy saw this she told Taurus that he could return to the spirit world, and with that he left leaving sparkling dust behind. Lucy told Happy he could stop as well, but he was determined to help, probably feeling guilty for his thoughts earlier.
"Lucy, if Natsu was here he would probably keep helping until they were free completely." Said Happy in a weak voice. Lucy smiled and let him continue, she didn't want to discourage her friend, especially when he was so determined. "Happy," Lucy asked the exceed " why didn't Natsu come along?" "He said he would be with Lisanna today…"
"Oh." She responded while slashing away with her whip until the lacrima finally started to crack like a vase. Each crack spread in every direction, it looked like a web of small cracks.
All of a sudden light started to seep through every crack and, as small as a thread of web was the light that became as large as a flashlight. A cold wind breeze started to blow heavily through the tunnel making debris and dirt fly. Then the Happy said," I can sense the strong aura again…" After happy said that large chunks of the lacrima started to fall and Happy was in its path. Seeing this Lucy screamed" Happy! Look out!" and jumped over to him and grabbing to protect him from the falling lacrima shards. It looked pretty the falling pieces making an array of light patterns, but at the same time it was hazardous.
As the last piece of lacrima was falling to the ground, so was the girl and dog. "Happy…" Lucy was about to ask him to catch the dog he already was waiting with his hands high. As she looked up the girl was already falling, she had to think quick. She decided to catch her with her hands as well, even though she had a blanket and pillow in her bag. She thought getting the supplies would take too long, and by the time she got it out of the bag it would be too late.
Lucy caught the girl and gently placed her on the ground. The girl looked like she was around Wendy's age or maybe a little older. Lucy picked up the dog from Happy's arms, which were basically on the floor, because the dog was bigger than him, making him fall. She carried the coffee brown canine over to where the girl was, and placed the dog right beside her.
"Lucy I think the dog is waking up!" said Happy shakily. Happy never really liked dogs, but this one he had a softer side for, maybe he saw potential in the dog, or he felt bad that it was in the lacrima. He didn't know why, but he felt this dog was MAYBE a nice one.
"Who… who are you?" requested the dog with a puzzled look on his face. He had never seen the Blonde haired mage or exceed before, so he began to question their identity.
"I'm Lucy and this is Happy, and what's your name?" Lucy smiled. "My name is Charlie…IS THAT A CAT!" screamed Charlie.
Hearing that Happy's wings popped out and he flew behind Lucy for protection. "Lucy… I knew we shouldn't have helped them!" cried Happy. Hearing that the dog stopped his pursuit to chase the cat and responded "Oh, my apologies, I didn't know you freed us from that lacrima." Softened Charlie. " Have you seen Em?" He asked Lucy in kind voice while glaring at Happy. He was grateful that they freed him and Em, but he didn't like cats that much.
"Is Em that girl over there?" Lucy assumed. "Yes, she is my best friend, and she is the strongest." Said the dog in a cavalier way. Happy retorted "not stronger than my friend Natsu!" After that the dog and cat got into relentless battle of whose friend was better.
"Ugh" Lucy sighed at how annoying Happy could be. Lucy looked over to the girl who was still asleep. She noticed her long blonde hair that went down to her waist and her golden brown skin. Then she noticed something that caught her eye, her star necklace it was glowing. Then all of a sudden a large blast of energy launched Lucy at the cave wall,and she fell with a thud.
"Lucy! Are you alright?"Cried Happy panic-stricken. He looked at Lucy, then at the girl who was rising from the ground with her bangs covering her face. At that moment he knew they weren't going to be allies with. Trying to stand up for his friend, Happy got up and ran over to the girl with a determined look on his face.
" Leave Lucy alone! If you want to fight someone, you should fight me..." Happy yelled before being interrupted by Lucy.
"Stop Happy... you could get hurt..." Lucy wheezed taking short breathes to regain her composure after the blast. She felt really weak but realized something' my keys how could i have forgotten about them'. As she reached for her keys she noticed the girls hands started to illuminate the cave, and a large sphere of golden light shot from her hands at her and Happy.
Lucy panicked she didn't know what to do, she just wanted to go back to Fairy Tail and forget this trip happened. But it was too late for that. The sphere was moving towards them at an alarming speed. Even if they tried to run the sphere attack would still kill them, due to its size. Happy jumped in front of Lucy at the last second and Lucy covered her eyes with her arm.
As Lucy sat there she noticed she didn't feel any pain. She slowly opened her eyes to see Happy on the floor unwounded and Loke kn front of him. She sat dumb founded and wondered how he got here just in time. She knew spirits like Horologium who could protect when they sensed danger, but Loke just came out of the blue sometimes and it surprised her. He had blocked the attack since he had light magic.
