Chapter 17: My past
I sighed as we walked into my house "Hey Sting… the day after tomorrow, there is a festival. Should we go?" I smiled at Sting. He surprised me by kissing me on the lips and said "Okay!" From being embarrassed I clenched my teeth and playfully hit him screaming "EVIL!"
"I'll pick you up at six then, bye!" As usual Sting runs off while waving goodbye. Putting on a small smile, I wave goodbye at Sting. As he disappeared from my line of sight, I put my hand down and giggle a little bit. "Lucy!" I jump at the sudden call to my name. I look at the person and it was Asami "What are you doing here?" I question her. "Well... I did say I was going home but I have nothing to do! So I decided to come and visit your house" She put her arms behind her head and leaned on the wall.
"Why don't you come inside" I invited her in, she smiled brightly and said with cheer "Thanks!" She skipped into my house. I made her some tea and poured a cup for her. She sniffed the tea and sipped a little bit. "So Asami, can I ask why you admire me?" I ask while having the cup of tea in my hand. Asami closes her eyes and lays the cup of tea back onto the table. "There are two reasons why I admire you, the first one is because of my past" She looked down at the floor, when I looked straight into her eyes I could see that she was recalling some horrible memories.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" I apologized. "No, it's okay, I decided that I will tell you why" She put on a fake smile for a while then she slapped her own face mumbling to herself "Stop faking your emotions" She shook her head and continued "The second reason is how strong you are, no matter the problem, you always manage to smile somehow looking at the bright side" I blushed while scratching my cheek "I'm not that great" I thought in my mind I really want to find out what happened to her in the past
It was like she read my mind "I know you want to find out about my past, so I'll just tell you the story" She laid back into the couch and folded her arms while closing both of her eyes.
"It was when I was nine years old, I had enough of my house, I wanted to leave but something unexpected happened. This was before I chopped my hair off"
Asami's Past Through her eyes:
"Asami! You are worthless! Getting second in your whole year is not enough!" My father slapped me across the face, I fell to the floor. I grasped my cheek with one hand and looked to the floor and apologized, "I'm sorry, I will try harder next time" The turned his back to me and faced the window, "No dinner for you, you shall spend your night reflecting on what you did wrong and you will study even more" I stood back up, clenched my fists and walked towards the door. I bowed my head and left the room.
As I walked with anger towards my room silently crying, I had my head lowered so no one could see my eyes. I passed my dear mother who I love a lot but I didn't say anything to her. I simply just kept my head down and continued walking.
I sat in my room and clutched my head from all the sadness, I had my textbook open with my test next to me, I started to cry again. I jumped on my bed and squeezed the teddy bear my mom gave me and wiped my tears on the stuff toy" I heard a knock on my door, I got up and opened the door, it was my mom and she was holding a bowl of soup. She put her finger up to her lips and quietly said while winking at me "Keep this a secret from your dad for me okay?" I smiled at her and nodded.
As I finished my soup I mumbled to myself "I love my mom but then I have had enough of my dad. Should I run away?" I packed my stuff without knowing what I am really doing, I waited for midnight to come, I dragged my luggage out to my garden and whispered "Goodbye" As I was walking towards the front gate to exit forever, I heard a loud
"ROAR!" I looked up and there was a jet black dragon flying towards my house, I screamed from being terrified. The dragon used its roar on my house, everything was on fire and the house was crumpling in front of my eyes. I didn't know what to do except run away.
I ran and I ran as far away as possible not knowing what to do, I eventually found a village. I asked them to help me and they agreed so I led them to where I live but when I arrived, there was nothing left except a burnt house slowly falling to the ground.
For around 2 years I was training to become a magician to defeat the dragon who ruined me even though I knew it was impossible. One day I had to go into the city to find to get some supplies, I ran into a shop that had a magazine in it. I flipped to a random page describing a guild that was called "Fairy Tail" It mentioned a girl called 'Lucy Heartfilia' however I didn't care about it at all.
Seven years have passed and I am back in a city to join a guild, when I overheard that girl I saw in that magazine long ago, talking about her past. I gazed at her with amazement seeing how she went through so much and still had a huge smile on her face. I wanted to meet up with her but she left and that was when I decided "I should stop crying about the small things in life and reminding myself of the past, I have to look forward and become stronger" I went to my apartment and took out a knife, I grabbed onto my long brown hair and chopped off everything that was below my shoulder.
End of Asami's past (Lucy's POV):
Asami finished her story, I looked at her with sad eyes and she just gave me a sweet smile in return. "That's the end of my story! I think I should leave now, it's getting late. I think you should get ready for your festival date with Sting" She giggled at me, I just blushed and said "Yeah…"
She jumped out of her seat and ran out of my house smiling, but my problem was that, was she smiling with happiness? Or sadness?
