(=^.^=)
~Natsu~
What gave those kids the right to say that I didn't care for my best friend?
The whole guild was crushed when she went missing.
We shut the guild down for a few weeks after.
We stopped answer jobs and we just searched for her.
A while after, we got back to semi-normal. We all held pain for missing Luce.
What right did those kids have?
It's not like they're her actual kids. Right?
They're 13. She left for 13 years.
That makes no sense.
Wait, she came back 14 years later. She came back the day she left. So, that means, if those are her kids, they'll be turning 14 soon. Right?
All this thinking is hurting my head.
"Yo, Flame Brain. What's with the face?" Gray asked. He sat across from me, Lisanna was on my right, and Erza was on Gray's left. Happy? Who knows where his is. Fishing, probably, or with Charle.
"Eh? Oh, thinking," I said. I was still too preoccupied with my thoughts.
Especially the past 13 – no 14 – years.
~Flashback~
It was a few months after Luce left. A few members – mostly Levy and Erza – were still looking for her.
Team Natsu was setting out for another mission; we'd always say we'd be out for a week more than the job took. It gave us a week extra to find Lucy, if she was ever in this town.
After we finished the job, which took us an hour, we decided to look around this town first.
We walked by an apartment complex when I smelled Lucy's sent – Lavender and Chocolate.
It was a little faded, probably hasn't rained since she last was here. I ran into the building, looking for whoever runs the place.
"Excuse me!" I said, okay more like yelled, at the lady behind the front desk.
"Yes?" She said, looking a little annoyed.
"Is Lucy Heartfilia here?" I asked. She looked through her information book look for the name.
"Let's see… Hmm… nope. Left yesterday," was all she said before looking to the magazine on her desk.
"Oh. Uh, do you know where she went?"
"Do I look like I know?" This lady was p-i-s-s-e-d.
"Guess not…?" I said, or, asked.
"Mhm," Okay, then…
"Uh, thanks away." Well, that was awkward.
"Yup," I walked back out to Erza, Gray, Lisanna, and Happy.
"What was that about, Natsu?" Lisanna asked.
"I smelled Lucy. The lady inside said she left yesterday. Yesterday! If we could have been here sooner!" I explained and exclaimed. (A/N Hehe, I like that. :3)
"Can you still smell her sent?" Erza asked.
"Yeah, it's going – "I paused to sniff the air "– that way." I pointed to the left.
"Let's follow it then."
So, that's what we did. After a while, the smell, just… faded. It'll be strong, then faint, then strong again. We walked for a few days, and it faded.
"It's gone," I said.
"What do you mean 'it's gone'?" Gray asked.
"I can't smell her anymore," "Has it rained lately?" Erza asked.
"Nope," You could smell if it rained. It would have smelled like a new place.
Happy's eyes teared up. "We'll find her, right?" He asked, sniffing a little. No one answered him. "R-right?"
"We will. One day," I said.
And that's what happened for the past 14 years. Every few missions, I'll smell her. We'll follow it. Then it'll disappear. Every. Single. Time. It happened. Until, I never smelled it again.
~END!~
The guild doors opened and Lucy's three kids walked in. Without their cloaks.
They all had orange hair and blue eyes. Strange combination, if you ask me. I wonder whose kids they really are.
"Where's Mama?" The one on the right – Jordyn? – said.
"Still in the infirmary, sweetheart," said Mira.
"Thanks!" The one in the middle – Kylie? – said. Those two look exactly alike, it's fucking crazy.
All three of them walked down the middle of the guild to the infirmary. Jordyn, Kylie, and Zayn, in that order. As they passed, they all glared at me. Jordyn's wasn't as bad as the other two.
If looks could kill, I'd be dead. 100,000 times.
As they entered the room, they all screamed "Mama!" like they thought she died and came back.
The new girl, Vyeria, and her niece, Camille, sat down next to me. She both recently joined the guild. Vyeria had gotten a purple guild mark on the right side on her neck, real close to her collarbone. Camille got a blood red one on her calf.
Next to them were their… pets. If that's what you'd call them. A snow leopard cub named Belize, who is almost always in Camille's arms, and a snow tiger named Feroce. They're pretty cool people.
Vyeria isn't the nicest person. She's cold to people, sarcastic, calm, and has a nonchalant feel to her. She's majorly overprotective of her niece. She teases me a lot, and it'll usually end up with me screaming and trying to beat her ass. Key word: trying. She's really good at fighting.
Camille is really shy to the older guild members but somewhat opened up to young kids. (A/N The next chapter I'll be posting will be about all the kids and new member s of the guild!) She'll be kinda energetic and happy, like is when she's around Vyeria, but not with other kids. Her dad, Vyeria's brother, died a few years back and her mother, well; they don't know what happened to her.
We haven't seen either of their magic yet. Something with shadows for Vyeria and something with animals for Camille. Someday, we'll see.
"Did ya see that, Natsu? They all glared at ya!" Vyeria said.
"Yeah, I saw. I knew Zayn hated me but, the girls too? Damn, kids hate me," I half-joked.
"Yup," Camille said. Aww, man, she hates me now, too? Vyeria laughed, or, more like chuckled. She doesn't laugh much.
"Good one, Camille," she said. "Thanks, auntie!" she smiled back. Then glared at me.
I sighed and went to the bar.
"Oi, Mira. Get me a fire whiskey," I requested.
"Sure thing, Natsu!" After a minute she gave me my fire whiskey.
"Thanks," was all I said. I drank the drink slowly.
"Where's Lisanna?" I asked.
"Huh? Oh, she wasn't feeling too good. She stayed home," Mira explained.
"Really? What's wrong?" I faked interest and worry.
"I believe she has a cold. She'll be fine in a few days. Don't worry, Natsu,"
"If you say so,"
The day passes pretty slowly. I heard a few girls talking about Lucy's 'kids'.
"Did you see their hair and eyebrows? Totally mismatched, like they dyed it,"
"They probably did," these girls were new and didn't know who Lucy was personally. "Lucy probably got pregnant with some random guy she met,"
"Seriously. From what I read in Sorcerer's Weekly, back when she was in the guild, she wore slutty outfits and had a lot of guys. What a whore!" One girl yelled-whispered.
I growled but didn't say anything. Lucy's still my best friend, I think.
The three girls laughed. "Really? Wow. For all Lucy knows, it could have been a street bum. Who would want her?" The last girl said.
They laughed again. I couldn't take it anymore. I went over to the three girls; they looked at me as I came to their table. Ha! They were shaking in their boots.
"Do you even know Lucy?" They all shook their heads. "Didn't think so. She's not a whore, so don't call her that! If I ever hear you call that again, I'll make you sorry! "I turned my back to them and walked out of the guild not saying another word.
(=^.^=)
After thinking about it, Jordyn, Kylie, and Zayn had different eyebrow colors than hair color. Jordyn and Kylie's hair was a pinkish-orange but their eyebrows were pink, like mine. Zayn's hair was blondish-orange and he has blonde eyebrows, like Lucy.
What the hell does that mean?
She found some kids that had the same color hair as us?
And what's with the blue eyes?
Again, Kylie and Jordyn's eyes had brown underneath them. Zayn had black underneath them.
Same eye colors, too.
How did she find these kids? !
Maybe she had them made in a lab?
Whoa! That'll be really cool!
You know, this thinking is really starting to hurt. I think I might take a nap.
(=^.^=)
~Lucy~
"Mama!" They all screamed. Again, this not how I like to be woken up. Damn kids. -_-
"Whaaaat?" I groaned and turned over to face them.
Wait a second, how'd I get here? All I remember was extreme pain and flashes of pink, red, and black.
"You're okay, right? Not hurt anywhere? Bleeding?" Kylie asked franticly.
"No, no. I'm fine. Why? What happened?" I asked.
They all looked at each other a sighed.
Jordyn was the first one to talk, "Okay, well…"
She spent the next few hours explaining everything that happened since we left for the mission.
When she was done, I asked the biggest thing that was on my mind, "What the fuck happened to your hair?"
They nervously laughed. This time, Zayn spoke," Well, first; THIS WAS ALL KYLIE'S IDEA!-"
"What! No it wasn't! It was yours!" She yelled back.
"No! Yours" Zayn screamed.
"No! Yours!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Hah! See! You just admitted it was yours!" Zayn laughed.
"Wha-! Hey! You're such an ass!" Kylie yelled and then started crying.
"What the-! Kylie~ Don't cry! I'm sorry! It was my idea," Zayn sighed.
Why the hell did these kids come out of me?
Jordyn was just standing there laughing.
"Okay, anyway. Keep going, Zayn," I encouraged.
"Anyways, we dyed our hair so we could she you without our cloaks," he smiled shyly.
"K-kawaii," I muttered. These kids are too cute! "It's okay. But, I hope you know what I can still see your roots and eye color,"
Jordyn sighed, she's the smartest one out of all of them and looked depressed that she couldn't do something right. Poor kid.
"B-but, it's okay. You guys tried! That's all I ask,"
They all grinned wide and hugged me.
"Why don't we go home?" They nodded and we left the infirmary is all eyes on us. I didn't look back; I knew my ducklings would be following close behind.
They are mine. No one else's.
And, oh shit. Tomorrow, they turn 14.
