Story Summary: After being kicked out of Team Natsu, Lucy quits the guild. But not before taking one last mission. During the mission, Lucy found herself running off course from her original mission. While trying to find her way back, she sees a base. But this was no normal base. This base was the home to the 9 Demon Gates and Demon King. Just what happens when she falls in love with one of them?
Recap of Last Chapter:
"CRACKED IN LIGHTNESS AND DARKNESS, GATE OF THE WHITE DOGGY! NIKORA!"
"Okay Plue, that's enough. I think hes had enough." She winked playfully hearing the dog yelp in joy and release Gray to bear hug the girl. The dog vanished and the whole guild raced towards Gray, storming him right into the infirmary. No one dared to provoke Lucy, they didn't want to suffer the pain Gray just felt. They started to have doubts about her, maybe she wasn't what they thought. She quickly grabbed a mission and slipped through the door, winking towards the shell-shocked Team Natsu.
Everyone just watched as she leave, a smirk plastered on her face for the accomplishment she just made.
Now to Chapter 3
Nobody's POV.
Reporters have found out that apparently villagers have gone missing, and or killed. There bodies were found to be completely clean, with no wounds nor sign of murder. It was said that a mage can murder people without causing any wounds is among our villagers, but we can not identify him/her. His/Her magic is quite rare and forbidden, we demand that a S-class mage takes down this mage, which the villagers believe to be named Radioactive and imprisoned immediately. Please help us. Just go to Fire's Candle Light and talk to Acacia Bluebell to get more information on Radioactive. It is also claimed that this mage is a woman.
Location: Valvoline
Reward: 3,000,000 Jewels
A small smirk formed on Lucy's cherry colored lips, her chocolate brown orbs shining. She softly pressed her lips on her bare hand, she wanted the good memories to last. The bad ones she threw back into her mind, locking them away for another day. Anger, jealousy, betrayal, sorrow, rage, and most of all hurt was evident in her eyes. Her eyes were slightly red and puffy, it didn't look like she cried but if you looked close enough. You would notice she lost the shine in her, once beautiful, jittery, up-beat, loving, and passionate chocolate dipped eyes.
Lucy glanced once again at her S-class mission, her lips quirked up at the reward. It was a high price for just one mislaying mage. But then again, the mission was taking place at Valvoline, apparently Fiore's outskirts. The place was known for there Angel and the Starry River Festival, its a festival to celebrate the birth of the Angel God's Princess, Nova. Which was said to have died years ago from her fathers rage, she fell in love with a demon and died trying to protect her lover. She died on her birthday, and her father took it as a sign of mockery towards her. The thing was that the her father was banished from Heaven, and dethroned for killing said girl, even though he didn't mean too. A few days later, he committed suicide for his faulty deeds, near the Starry River. Also the place was known to hold the most murder's and dark mages.
Shaking her head, she opens her apartment door. Only to get knocked down by a small blue-haired cat, "LUSHY!" Happy screamed, crying into the emotionless blondes chest.
Lucy sighed deeply looking into the teary eyes of the cat, "Ne, Happy what would you do if I left Fairy Tail?" At that sentence the blue cat instantly burst into a fit of sobs. His small paws clung onto the girls shirt, and Lucy sighed. Just how is she gonna tell Happy that she did leave Fairy Tail?
"I-i would -sniff- leave with you -sob- cause yo-your my Mommy!" Happy cried, clingy onto his 'Mommy' as if she was a life resort. The stellar mage smiled sweetly at the cat, making Happy smile right on back. But then it him like a brick wall, she did leave Fairy tail.
"Lushy... did you leave Fair-Fairy Tail?" The cat stuttered, purring slightly from Lucy's petting. The girl sighed, and hugged the sobbing fuzzball closer, hearing the little guy sob even harder due to the fact that she; Indeed left Fairy tail.
"N-" She stopped herself and sighed, how could she just up and lie to the poor guy? She was mother figure to him too, and mothers shouldn't teach there children to lea-lie. Like who would just tell there kids to lies to get away from there problems? Certainly not Lucy, she wasn't about to break this poor cats heart. The blonde scratched her cheek sheepishly, and looked into the cats eyes.
"Yeah."
And she will never regret telling Happy the truth.
Once that simple 4-letter word left her cherry lips, the blue cat instantly fainted. He felt angry, confused, and miserable. His mother figure has just left the place he called home, the place that he was born in. It was as if his world just crashed down, all from that simple word. Happy just couldn't get his tail around the fact that Natsu Dragneel, his dad. The one who hatched him, along with Lissana just up and abandoned Lucy. Lucy, his mother.
Ever since Lucy came, he couldn't help but feel attached to her. He felt safe, and warm while with her. He thought, and he wanted to believe he knew that the girl wouldn't leave him like Lissana did. He also refuses the fact that Lissana has come back, he knows shes dead. And thats what she will always be to him, she isn't his mom anymore. No, not never. Not after Lissana died no, he knows that this Lissana isn't the same little girl he called Mom. Yes, he is happy to see her in person and not just a pile of dirt. The thing is, he couldn't comply with the fact that his- Mother? Is alive, and not dead- even though shes right there. Standing in flesh, but- he wants it to be Lucy, only Lucy.
His Lucy, his Mommy.
And he will never leave her side, even if it kills him.
So he had to choose.
"Happy, will you come with me? Or are you going to stay at the- guild?" Lucy's tone was calm, and soothing helping the cat calm down. Her hand light brushed his fur, and he hummed. He looked at Lucy, his eyes filled with determination.
"I wanna go with you, Mommy."
'Because, I love you.'
Lucy hummed, rocking the blue cat back in forth. A soft smile graced her beautiful reflection in mirror, her blonde hair was pulled into a messy bun. She wore a baggy white shirt with spandex. After discussing with Happy about leaving the guild, they managed to remove his insignia (which was promptly on his back) with her magic.
"It's hard to remember
A summer or winter
When she hasn't been there for me
A friend and companion
I can always depend on
My mother
That's who I mean
I've taken for granted
seeds that she planted
She's always behind every thing
A teacher a seeker
A both arms outreacher
My mother
That's who I mean
Wish I could slow down
The hands of time
keep things the way they are
If she said so
I would give her the world
If I could... I would
My love and my laughter
From here ever after
Is all that she says that she needs
A friend and companion
I can always depend on
My mother
That's who I mean
My mother
That's who I mean' that's who I mean"
Happy looked at Lucy his eyes sparkling with passion, he watched as Lucy closed her eyes humming and singing softly. Her voice was intoxicating, like silk. So smooth, and calm. He loved it, so he hummed with her as she climbed into bed with him in her arms. He snuggled into her closer and closed his eyes, a smile on his face.
Because he was with his Mother.
"LUSHY! MAKE ME FIIIIIIIISH!" The cat cried comically, practically making Lucy's stomach a pool. The girl grunted, and bolted up making Happy fly across the room.
"Oops?" Lucy giggled slightly, making Happy giggle too. The blonde got up from her bed and walked towards the kitchen, Happy following.
"Here." Lucy stated, giving a plate with a fish on it to Happy. The cat cheered and ate it happily, Lucy slightly smiled and took out her bun. Her blonde locks fell down elegantly and she stretched, her arms above her head.
"Happy." The stellar mage yawned, cracking her neck. The cat stopped eating and looked at his 'mother' and tilted his head slightly in question. The girl threw her head back and groaned, walking back into her room leaving the cat confused.
"I'm taking a shower!" She yelled from inside the bathroom, and Happy just hummed in response.
A sigh slipped Lucy's lips, dipping into the hot water. She just needed to relax, and be happy for once. She knew that her friends will miss her and Happy, but she needs to do this. To get away from the guild, the guild that completely crushed her heart and killed her verbally.
She started to remember the day when her spirits,- changed. The word changed wouldn't exactly work though- she knew that. They didn't just change, they became different. Completely different, like a personalty switch, but they had all there memories and everything. Lucy- who wanted become stronger changed the spirits, but not in the way she thought that day.
-Flashback-
A smirk graced the blondes face, she watched as her spirit and friend; Loke tortured the black mage. His hands and legs hit the mage continuously, her wails echoed around the cave. Blood dripped out of the mages wounds, and her body fell limp. Her eyes rolled back into her head, her body stiff and cold.
Loke stepped back his eyes wide, mouth hanging. He watched as the girls body jerked up, blood drooling out of her wounds. His blood hands went up to his mouth, as he watched in astonishment as the girl got back up, her chest moving up rapidly.
"I wo-" The girl seethed, feeling blood come out of her mouth. She felt her back arch, a scream curling up her throat. Loke and Lucy just stood still, watching the girl slowly fight for her life.
"No!" The black mage once screamed, her hands pulled at her bloody hair. Loke stood still, a small smirk started to fight its way onto his face. The girl backed up, her back hitting the caves wall. She slowly slide down, feeling pain execute all over her body. She didn't want to die, she didn't want to die just yet.
The mage gripped the cave walls, and crawled her way back up. Her eyes glowed in determination, and she slowly took a step forward. She started to wobble, and Loke watched in amusement as she slowly walked towards his master, and friend.
"You wen-" The black mage chocked on her words, blood poured out of her mouth and Lucy smiled evilly. She watched as the black mage chocked on her own blood, coughing and gagging on it. The black mages hand gripped her throat, and she hit her stomach making the blood rush down her throat and onto the rock floor.
"Loke." The blond cackled, a sadistic grin on her face, "What happens when a spirit kills a black mage with there masters permission?" The question made Loke's lip quirk up, he licked his lips and chuckled lowly.
"Well Hime, your spirits-" His hands brushed his hair lightly, grinning ear-to-ear, "Get a upgrade for kill black mages. When we kill them, we absorb there magic energy making us stronger and some of us gain there powers. Like this little child." Loke motioned towards the black mage, and Lucy nodded for him to continue.
"The girl has a type of black fire magic. So, if I kill her I would get her power since that magic isn't black magic, but the user is. Also for a bonus, all her magic energy will be timed by all your spirits you have. Which means that the magic she has right now will go to each of your spirits, granting them a upgrade. The bonus will only be added if I kill the black mage, since I am the Zodiac leader." Loke explained, scratching his cheek lightly.
"Well. I give you permission to kill this..." The stellar mage giggles lowly, her hand brushing against the black mages cheek, "poor little girly." The sentence made the black mage cower in fear, trying to get away from the lion spirit, who had his mind set on killing her.
"Pl-please..." The black mage begged, tears fighting there way out of her black eyes. The girl grabbed her hair and brought it to her face, sobbing into it. She didn't want to die and be used as a upgrade for them. She wanted to live, and be free.
Loke licked his lips in amusement. He watched as the girls facial expression changed from terror, to disgust, to horror in a matter of a few minutes. He craved the horror stricken on her face, he just craved watching her shiver in fear, and how she begged for mercy. All because of him, and he just craved it.
The black mage crawled her way towards the exit of the guild, a trail of blood behind her. Loke slowly followed, whistling lightly to himself. A grin spread across his playboy face, seeing the black mage begging and screaming for mercy. The girl looked at the lion spirit, chocking down her sobs, she didn't want to die just yet. She didn't want to die in pain, she wanted to die in peace.
A scream echoed out of the girls throat, blood soothingly rained out of her wound more as she pounded her body onto the rock floor. She lifted her head, and banged it on the rock floor, she didn't want to die by the lion spirit, so why not die by killing herself?
"Ng-csgh!" The girl gagged, having her head lifted by her hair. Loke laughed, and lifted her up his hands gripping onto her hair. The black mage tried to kick her way out of his grasp, but Loke dodged.
"Nah-ah-ah!" The Zodiac leader teased, slamming the girl head on to ground. The side of her head came in-tact with floor, blood exploded everywhere her eyes rolled back into her head. Her ear ripped into shreds from the rocky surface, her neck punctured by the rocks. (A/N: Sorry. As you all might not know, I'm quite sadistic ;))
"Ngh-egh! Grg!" The girl whimpered, her hands rising up to her face. Blood cloaked her legs and hands, her clothes tattered and dirty. Dirt dusted her face and palms, blood splatters every once in awhile. She looked like she was thrown off a building, completely hammered. Her hands were dripped and ragged, flesh curdling from the impact. Her legs were sticky, and numb, a white piece of flesh stuck out hanging limp on rocky surface but still attached to her leg. Her toes and finger were twisted and slated, a blood curdling scream escaped her lips as she tried to move them.
"Scream and scream all you like, sweetheart. But your savior will not come, so enjoy the last light and breath of your life. Savor your best-est memory, and pray to the open gods of health and passion. Breath in and out, and feel content with nature. Pain will devour you as a hole, my little saint. You were beautiful as a gem when I saw you, oh yes. With such vibrant black eyes, luscious legs, and sun-kissed chestnut brown hair that gracefully flowed in the wind, like a flower petal. So, my little saint, close your eyes and the pain will go away. Cause you will be in hell when I reach the number 5."
"1" Loke kicked her rips, making her scanter back and hiccup blood.
"2" His hands slammed down with rocks onto her legs, her knees weary and bulged, blood tainting the rock.
"3" A bright light blasted onto her stomach, the red liquid glowed vibrant and her stomach seethed in and out. Not a single breath wasted.
"4" Her neck creaked and blood oozed out of her nose, Loke's hand hovered own her neck blood cascading his skin.
"5" The black mage breathed in and felt her face collide with the floor. The bone in her nose slide into her skull, and her eyes were plucked by the rocks. Her black ruby lips were busted open, blood exploding all over. Her chestnut brown hair scattered everywhere, and her chest stopped moving.
She was dead.
The blondes eye twitched, a giggle escaping her cherry lips. She clapped her hands together, and sighed n content. Watching Loke kill the fine girl made Lucy crave the way the girl screamed, and begged. She harvested the sounds that echoed out of the girl, and she craved for more.
"Hime, once you close my gate all of your spirits will upgrade drastically, you can stop this if you open up another gate then close mine. Go ahead and choose what you want princess, I won't judge." Loke stated, his hazel eyes looking straight into Lucy's chocolate brown ones.
Lucy tapped her chin and sighed, "Force gate closure." Once those 3 words left her mouth a green light wrapped around Loke. He dropped to his knees and took Lucy's free hand, placing his lips firmly onto her hand. He chuckled softly, and winked playfully.
"Goodbye, Princess." The words made Lucy's heart clench, as she watched him disappear and go back to the spirit word. She breathed in and out and walked out of the cave, her blonde hair gently blew with the wind.
The blonde looked out into the sunset and giggled, clutching Loke's key to her chest.
Just how was she going to explain this to her friends?
-End of Flashback-
Lucy sighed and wrapped the towel around her waist, stepping out of the bathroom and into her room. She rampaged through her closet and grabbed a red short-sleeved dress with a white-cream belt, white taps and a yellow head band. Her blonde hair was pulled into a high ponytail. (A/N: Dress is on my profile)
"Happy! We gotta get heading towards the train station! The next train towards Valvoline is heading out!" The blonde screamed, stuffing everything she needs into her suitcase. The cat nodded, and flew on top of her head as she headed out of her apartment bidding the Land Lady goodbye, and heading towards the train station.
"Happy, I sent Gramps a letter telling him about your leaving, and our goodbyes to the guild." The stellar mage said petting Happy's fur gently.
Happy purred, a huge grin on his face. "Aye!"
Lucy chuckled, and stepped into the train shaking her head lightly. She sat at a booth, and Happy curled up into her lap, sleeping peacefully. A small smile spread onto Lucy's face, and her eyes turned dull again.
"Lets see what this adventure awaits us."
