Author's note:
Hey~ Please review and your thoughts after reading, I may be able to write the next chapter in two weeks if you review.
Thank you for the favorites and follows, although I have lost some...
Sorry for the late post but I kinda ran out of ideas to write for this chapter, (Please leave some suggestions.)
Anyone here is a timeline since this is an AU story.
Lucy's father isn't dead and haven't gone to his daughter.
Sabertooth is a very new guild.
The Grand Magic Game has yet to start.
The seven year time-stop never happened
Normal pov,
"What do you think she is doing?" Spirit said waiting outside,
"I don't know..." Lyon uttered, sitting on the steps outside of the door.
Spirit sighed, and fall into a fit with her legs stomping the snowy mind of Lyon's. Lyon had a comedic sweat-drop of the side of his head, "I'm bored!" She screams in a childish tone and with her physical appearance makes it difficult to tell her age.
Finally, Spirt appeared outside and started to do whatever she want, she begin to roll on the ground with her arms out back and forth to Lyon. There Lyon notice of the bandages covering both the arms of the girl, he put it aside since Spirit seem the type to do so to be cool looking or 'different' but it was still strange like she is hiding something...
"Um.. Spirit.." Lyon voiced, Spirit stop of what she was doing and look to him with a innocent expression.
With a sightly higher pitch tone "What is it Lancer?" Sitting on the stone pavement,
"Lancer?" Lyon taken by surprised, already forgotten his new name.
"You wanted a new name Lancer sounded cool at the time, you want a different one?" Spirit said and Lyon shakes his head side by side.
New name for a new beginning
"No, Lancer is great." Lyon looking at Spirit's face with a faint smile then she return a bright smile.
Lyon pov;
I couldn't bring myself to asked her, Lucy forgot some of her Spirit's stories and Spirit's sudden change of personality. When Lucy was in a state of sadness, Spirit send her to sleep and then some of the memories were forgotten.
Then send me to sleep but I remember everything, she is hiding something from Lucy...
"Lyon- I mean Lancer?" Her voice is much closer, looking down I saw her blood-stained dress and I slowly look up to see her face. I can see a faint scar on her left eye, "What's wrong?" She then placed her bandaged hand on my forehead to check my temperature,
"It's okay, just a bit tired." I said, now she is showing of her mature side making her looking a bit older. Two sides or many she had;
A childish side of a little sister acting as she was the older sister to Lucy,
A mature side to any other people,
A possible side of a hateful manner to her enemies I have yet to see judging the blood stained from a fight going overboard.
Lucy has a lot of trust into Spirit, a little bit of worry of her young companion when she goes out to test the time limit but can't do anything when she is asleep.
"Ne..Lancer.." Spirit called out now sitting by my side, "Do you believe in destiny?"
"Like destiny brought us together?" I answered and Spirit nodded, maybe she was trying to create some small talk.
"Not really..." I said then Spirit sighed, "Do you?"
"Yeap." A straight answer coming from her, "Destiny brought me here most likely."
"You think so?" I asked and another nod came for her once more, now quiet...
Suddenly a thought pops in my mind, the name Spirit is a strange name to be given to a child by a parent. "Spirit, is that even your name?" I said in a clear voice but she still remain silent, she brought her legs closer to herself and warped them with her bandaged arms, "What is your real name?"
A disturbing silent with the wind coincidently blew, the sound of it blowing and Spirit answered, "I don't know anymore..."
"I always used a fake name in the past to the point I can't even remember what my parents first gave me." Spirit whispered but it was still clear enough for me to hear,
"I made it my mission to find it but then..." Tightening her fists, "No that is for another story for another day..." Calming herself down, relaxing her body.
"Now I see there is no point of using that fake name here." Spirit said with a sad smile, she
jumped up and walked to me then proceeds to slaps both of my cheeks.
"What?!" Rubbing my cheeks, they probably gone a bit red.
"Enough of being gloomy today for me and you Lancer." Spirit said with a clear voice and hands on her hips.
Then the doors opens, light spreads out and Lucy stands in front with some more supplies, "I'm back, I see you guys are talking."
"Hi! Lancer and me are doing great!" Spirit voice went a little pitch higher, waved in the air.
Spirit; personality changed once again to a childish side once Lucy came into the picture.
"Lancer?" Lucy said in total confusion,
"Lyon's new name." Spirit answered,
"Spirit-nee-chan, you shouldn't give people names like you own them" Lucy said with her arms crossed.
"No no, it's okay I asked in the first place." I said and almost stuttering,
"I think we should head to Sabertooth now." Lucy suggested with a bit of flush in her face but Spirit using her bandaged arms made a X-shape.
"Nein, I think we should camped for tonight its too dark now." Spirit said,
"Okay.." Lucy said with a smile while rubbing the back of her head.
Normal pov;
The three started to walk, down from the path of the same mansion,
"So, what are you gained from this experience?" Spirit asked Lucy,
"I was hoping of aiding my father but it was already too late, I give him some money so he can go to his wanted destination along for food and a place to stay." Lucy answered with bit of a sigh.
Before Lyon can utter a sound, Spirit kinda floated in the air and covered his hand with her hands. "I don't think we should go over her family's history."
"And what did he gave you?"
"Another goal." She smiled, "Guess what Spirit-nee-chan?"
"What it it Lucy?" Spirit questioned,
"I have a twin brother..." Lucy said but suddenly Spirit disappeared, "Eh did Spirit-nee-chan reach the time limit?"
Lyon can now only hear Spirit's word, he said "Yes says Spirit.." But now Lyon can feel the emotions from Spirit now and is it... sadness?
Soon Lucy starts to chatter about her 'long-lost-twin-brother' while Spirit stayed silent for the whole conversation between Lancer and Lucy.
However Spirit did utter one sentence, "It's cold here..."
The two Lyon and Lancer continue their chatter while Spirit waited patiently and quietly.
1 hour later;
Still a normal pov,
The three rest in the nearest forest, Lancer was 'sleeping' and Lucy was secretly studying her books taken from the Fairy's archives. Her and Lancer's back turned away from each other, Lucy hold a small flashlight powered by her magic read the contents of her selected book. Lancer was just closing his eyes as he can not put himself to sleep.
Spirit is shouting and again only Lancer can hear her rants unfortunately, "Go to sleep already! If you can't sleep then I can't as well!"
"Okay! I get it!" Lancer said aloud, Lucy smiled a bit and trying to stop herself of letting out a giggle. Flipping the pages of her book, slowly reading and amazed that Fairy Tail had this book. The diagrams and pictures are hand-drawn are just.. WOW, closing the book to see who was the author on the front cover and it said "Gretel of the 35-34th."
'Strange...' Lucy thought, maybe it's the pen name? But then a smile etched her face, "Now I can.." She said then her eyes itched and urging the blonde mage to sleep. Packing her book away and fell to sleep straight after.
Dream; Lucy pov.
I was having a tea party with Spirit and Lancer, Spirit and Lancer was stuffing themselves with the cakes and pastry. I was sipping to my tea, looking down to my tea-cup in my hands suddenly instead of the cup but a pale looking hand holding mine.
It was small and cold, I instantly looked up to see a sickly looking boy with red hair and eyes like mine looking? Then I was staying next to a woman with blonde hair holding the boy's hand barely holding onto her tears back. The twelve year old boy was laying in bed, the room around was white and strange equipment around the place. A packet held by a pole had a string attached to it and injecting into the boy. Another machine keeps going beep and beep as the green light goes up and down constantly.
"That strange... why can't I see your face?" His pale hands was trembling even when the woman was holding it, he was pale as a sheet of paper or the snow. "Stay? Stay here.." He said with a small smile.
All of a sudden I was back at the tea party, but Lyon/Lancer on laying on the table covered in blood and Spirit-nee-chan turn her back on me,
I tried to call out for her but the words were "********** ***** ********* ********" Covering my mouth from the surprise of the sounds that came from my mouth,
Spirit-nee-chan is walking, leaving me behind then blood was dripping from her back, I try to scream to her but the words wouldn't form right, "****** ****** ******!"
"I want a name..." Spirit whispered as the blood was shaping in a small sword.
"I want a name!" She screamed, "Anything that can hide that!"
"What else do you wish as well?" Another voice said, it was hard to tell if it was a male or a female.
"I want power, we all want power.." Spirit-nee-chan answered, finally the dagger's handle spouted a wing.
"Alright then.." The wind suddenly blew, it was becoming harder to walk forward to her or even see but all I can make out it 3 orbs beside of her. Blue, Green and a blue-greenish.
"********!" I tried again but it didn't work, looking back to the table instead of Lyon it was a man with red eyes and black hair. I could not his face as darkness was spreading everywhere and it was drawn closer Spirit-nee-chan. "***********************************"
The wind became so strong that it knock me into the air, pushing me back away from Spirit-nee-chan, falling into darkness. I reached my hand to Spirit-nee-chan with is darkness closing in on her,
"Maka!" The background behind shattered like glass, opening the light out.
The dream suddenly ended, Normal pov now;
"Wahhh!" Lucy cried and then felt the ground hard on her body.
"Lucy!" Lyon/Lancer called out, Lucy eyes open wide taking in the sudden bright sunlight and until once her eyes adjust in front of her was Spirit and Lyon or Lancer.
"I'm so sorry." Lancer quickly said, Lucy seeing of Spirit carrying her bag.
"What happened?" Lucy wondered, Lancer helped Lucy get of from the group and seeing in the distance the Sabertooth guild. "Did I sleep that long?"
"We didn't want to disturb you so..." Lancer muttered eyeing at Spirit.
"I thought we or Lancer could carry you and it would be a surprise." Spirt said while scratching her head. "You were sleeping so soundly." Running up to Lancer and Lucy and gave their arms, "Come on, come on!" Dragging the two ahead to the guild of Sabertooth with a toothy grin,
"We off to see the guild, the wonderful guild of the Cats!""
Thank-you for reading, please.. PLEASE review! I be able to post the next chapter earlier.
