Chapter 9: The Truth!

Previously...

He pulled me and pushed me to a wall, his hand travelling to all the wrong places. Tears ran down my eyes as I let out the scream that I had been holding in. I screamed the only name that came to my mind,

"NATSU!"

the next thing i knew i heard the banging of the door. the door flew open with a large noise. i trailed my eyes to figure standing near the open door. i expected Natsu to be standing there, my prayers answered.

but unfortunately it wasn't. It was Mira.

and she looked scary. horribly scary.

Sting looked at the woman and gave an evil smirk.

"Another hottie? i'll love you both at the same time."

tears rolled down my cheeks. That bastard!

"Run Mira! run away!" i shouted. the last thing i wanted was to get Mira in danger.

but she didn't move. she continued to glare at him. she moved forward, string proudly.

"I'm a trained assassin you asshole! and now you've just made the worst mistake of your life my messing with Lucy. You bastard, you'll pay for this!" Mira was yelling.

it took me a complete minute to speculate and understand what she was saying. Mira was an assassin? Then what was she doing with Natsu?

Sting dropped my body and immediately i curled into a ball. but as soon as i touched the cold icy floor, my vision became blurry and i fell unconscious.

Break...

i woke up a few hour later in Natsu's room. i took a look at myself, all my wounds were bandaged and my clothes were changed. i spared a glance at Natsu who was pacing up and down the room. Mira was sitting on a chair beside me, looking perfectly fine. so that means she beat him? i shivered. this woman was sure scary.

"Mira?" i called out.

Immediately the said woman looked up, a worried look plastered on her motherly face. at the same time Natsu rushed over to the bed. he looked at me unable to speak. But i wasn't able to look at him because i felt guilty, i felt violated after Sting had deliberately tried to rape me.

"How are you feeling?" Mira asked whilst helping me up.

"i'm fine. i just fainted. Mira i'm so sorry, it's all because of me! And now, now i can't meet anyone's eyes..." tears came rushing down and stopped me from speaking.

I stole a look at Natsu. his eyes widened at my statement surprised i would say something like that. he looked worried.

Mira stroked my hair and pulled me into a motherly hug. i felt the warmth unlike something like i had ever before, a mother's love.

"Shh Lucy calm down. nothing happened, it's okay. you're safe and so am i. That's all that matters."

Tears broke their dam completely and i cried even more. i cried and i cried. she kept hugging me until i finally stopped. then she brought me some hot food and fed me till i was full. Natsu was gone by then though. Mira just muttered something like a meeting.

"So you were an assassin?"

"i was. Natsu's father saved my family from starvation and gave us a home. He gave me a job so that i could earn. so i left killing people then. i only killed so that i could feed my siblings. We were orphans you see. My father killed my mother and committed suicide right after that. he was mentally ill. but i never liked killing anyway. and there was no way i was going to become a stripper, back then so i had taken up killing. But it's all in the past now." she answered.

i was completely shocked. i had no idea Mira had gone through such a hard past.

"So anyway, tell me what's this will Natsu keeps talking about. he never tells me anything when it comes to you." She continued.

"Well, it goes way back to when my father was in college. he was friends with this woman named, Minerva, a complete slut if you ask me. they were surprisingly good friends and it wasn't long till she proposed my father. he instantly declined of couce since he wanted to focus on the business he dreamed of starting. But Minerva was furious and she decided to make my father hers no matter what. After college passed, my father started a business of hotels, LOVE AND LUCKY. Business went incredibly good and soon enough he was swimming in riches. things went better and he married the woman he loved, my mother, Layla. My mother was a divorced woman with a small child of 5 playing in her hands. he was Laxus, my big brother. But unfortunately he did not adjust to his new surroundings and was sent back to his Grandfather, Makarov. Things were flowing smoothly-"

"Sorry to interrupt but do you mean Laxus Dreyar, grandson of Makarov Dreyar?"

i nodded subtly and she gasped, a small blush coating her cheeks. i smirked but continued anyway,

" soon my parents were expecting me. but at that time Minerva returned. She threatened to overthrow the Heartfilia hotels. My father paid no heed to her. But one day she kidnapped my mother. Jude was torn. they made a deal, Layla and i were to be safe until she delivered the child. but there was a condition. to not kill me before i was born, Minerva would be allowed to kill Layla heartfilia six months after she delivered the child. And just as promised, against all protection, Layla Heartfilia was found murdered exactly six months after my birth. My father was disheartened at his loss but when he saw me, so alive, a small copy of Layla herself, lying right beside Layla's corpse, he decided to be the best father and save me from whatever came up. He loved me, he loved me so much..."

tears were welling up but i wanted to continue and so i did,

".. he took care of my so well. he never let me feel like there was no mother. but when i was 10 years old, he too died, leaving me to fend by myself. that's when i was shown my mother's last will. it said,

Lucy, i loved you before you were born but the moment i got to know of your father's deal with Minerva, i resented your very existence. You've killed me, Lucy. You are the reason of my death. So I wish the same fate befalls you and hereby i make this a Heartfilia tradition. You, my princess will be enslaved by Minerva on your marriage day. i give that wench the very task to make your life miserable. and if somehow your child is born, i wish that it dies instantly right in front of your own eyes. This is my will, Lucy. This!

and of cource a copy was sent to Minerva of this. It was horrible. also the only way that i could inherit or rather my husband could inherit my father's money was marriage. it has been so ever since. Minerva took over my father's mansion and kicked me out. The Dreyar's could do nothing. so i left, i left to finally find my place in this world of sorrow."

Mira looked at me tears pooling out of her pretty blue eyes unable to let her emotions stop.

This is it! the rest of the Sting- story will be explained in the next chapter! please leave me a review, will ya?
