Lucy's P.O.V
The dark is a strange thing. Its a fear as well as a strength or some should call it an advantage. You can lurk in the dark, hide in the dark and surprise your enemies but for some its a phobia. "Achluophobia" Is the term. For me the dark isn't so bad. After you have lived with it and gotten to know it then your used to its embrace.
I stared up at the white tall building shooting up into the sky. The windows were clean and well dusted and the bricks were clean and well scrubbed. I looked left and right before entering through the big silver automatic doors. I gritted my teeth seeing that there were other people in the lobby and pulled the hood farther up my head. I decided I would look suspicious if I had my cloak on in public so I decided to try a new appearance. After a scolding from Cancer and a hug he had dyed the tips of my straightened hair silver. I was wearing a black zippered hoodie, with a black undershirt, black tight skinny jeans and black combat boots. Black.. The color of the dark.
The lobby had beige carpets with a red rug with fancy designs descending from the door to the staircase. The walls were a cream color and the furniture were white with red roses.. It had a homey feeling to it.
I slowly walked towards the lady behind the desk who was watering red flowers. She had her white messy hair tied into a bun, her pink shirt with a white apron and undone casual running shoes. I walked up to her and knocked on the desk. She turned around and smiled wildly.
"What can I do for you?"
"Stellar." I whispered making sure no one was listening. Her eyes widened and she motioned with her fingers to follow her into the back room. I followed and as soon as she closed the door behind her she threw her arms around me with a smile.
"How long has it been Lucy?" A smile appeared on my face as I wrapped my arms around her.
"Too long. I need a favor. I'm sure you have heard the recent news?" She nodded and turned around walking towards a desk at the back corner. She pulled a drawer and pulled out an envelope. She walked back over and handed it to me.
"Ten grand in cash, plus a bonus." She said winking at me. I raised my eyebrows and tilted my head. Bonus? I opened it cautiously and pulled out a key-chain with a key on it. The letter '39' Engraved on the front of it.
"What is this for?"
"Your new room. I thought you could stay in town a while." I looked down at the key and up to her again.
"What if someone catches me? Your business will be ruined."
"Sweetie if I didn't do this and I died Layla be pissed." She said laughing. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her again.
"Thank you." I whispered softly.
"Your welcome. Now go to your new room and unpack." She said with a warm smile. I nodded slowly and opened the door, holding it open for her then walking over to the staircase. I walked up the stairs and when I made it to the first floor I read a sign that said '1-15' I looked around for an elevator and saw one in the back corner near the window. I pressed a button and it immediately opened up. I walked inside, ignoring the elevator music. I clicked a button that said '4th floor (30-45)' The elevator door closed and it slowly started going up with a soft, low hum.
When it reached its destination the elevator opened and I stepped out into a hallway with identical doors.
I slowly and silently walked down the hall searching for number 39. I glared at number 38 because that was the end of the hallway.. No 39? How is that possible? I sighed before turning around to start walking back downstairs when I saw something. There was a small hallway beside number 38... I went over to the hallway and marched through it and when it stopped I was staring at apartment 39. I tilted my head and gripped the knob while inserting the key in it.
I turned the key, hearing the door unlock, I pulled out the key and turning the knob I opened the door and stepped into my apartment. I nearly gasped. It was perfect..
The walls were a light purple/violet color with empty photo frames hanging from the wall, the furniture was a brown coffee color. The kitchen had granite counter tops and white cabinets. The appliances were sterling silver. In the middle of the room there was a bed with a purple comforter with black pillows. I smiled and walked over to the closet and to my surprise it was brimming with all sorts of clothing. From formal dresses to casual jeans and sweaters.
She did so much for me..

* Narrators P.O.V *
After an Lucy finished getting comfortable and unpacking what little she had she started to head towards the guild. She had passed many buildings and vendors shouting about their fresh delicious food.
She sighed and remembered her path. She jogged over towards the guild running right through the tree line and down the dusty dirt trail. When the guild was finally in sight she slowed down and walked towards the entrance. She opened the door and stepped in awkwardly. No one had noticed her yet and she hoped it would stay this way but luck was not on her side.
"Hey Lucy." She sighed and turned around to see Detlo smiling at her. She waved and he made his way over to her.
"Hey.."
"Did you find a place to live?"
"Yep. Pretty nice too." He sighed of relief and patted my head.
"That's good."
"Yeah.." Lucy wanted to hit her head on a table. This was the weirdest conversation of her life all she was doing was giving short answers.
"Well are you gonna go on a job?" I nodded
"Yeah that's why I came here in the first place."
"Well how about a mission with our team?"
"I don't know..."
"Come on it will be fun!" He said and grabbed her wrist nearly dragging her towards her team but sadly it was not as fun as he foretold.
