Chapter 15

As the other matches of the day were going on, Lucy, Sting, Juvia and Rogue were in the infirmary while Rufus watched the matches for memory. Lucy sat on a bed had her hands covering her eyes as Sting held her close and Juvia just stared at the ground as she sat down as well with Rogue beside her.

"Fairy Tail. Those jerks." Lucy murmured as she moved her hands away from her face.

"So Lucy, what are we going to do?" asked Juvia.

"We're sticking to our plan still Juvia. Kick those Fairies asses and take back the title for Saber Tooth." said Lucy. After that was said, the door slowly opened and in the door way, there stood Master Makarov and Mavis. All four of them shot there feet.

"Makarov. Mavis." said Lucy.

"Mavis? As in Fairy Tail's first master?" said Rogue.

"Wait, how can we still see the ghost of the first if we aren't part of Fairy Tail any more?" Juvia questioned.

"We're former members of Fairy Tail, so we can still see her." explained Lucy.

"Lucy, there is something important we must talk to you about." said Makarov.

"There's nothing for you to talk to her about." Sting growled.

"Hold on Sting. And, just what makes you think I'll listen to you?" asked Lucy.

"Because it has something to do with your mother." Makarov said. Lucy's eyes widen at that fact. Juvia, Rogue, and Sting were now all curious at Lucy's reaction.

"Um, guys, could you go and watch the matches? I have a feeling this may need to be private." said Lucy. None of them argued, so they all filed out of the room and closed the door behind them. Lucy put her attention back onto the Fairy Tail members in front of her.

"So, what do you guys want?" asked Lucy.

"It's about that power that you used during the fight." Makarov said.

"That power belonged to your mother long ago, but she soon learned it was to dangerous when she met your father and was going to have a child. So she sealed all of her power away in a book that was said to have been lost long ago. But, it appears that power is now in your possession." Mavis explained. If Lucy's eyes could've widen even wider, they did.

"A-and how do you know this?" asked Lucy shakily.

"Because your mother, Layla Heartfillia, is Zeref's and my daughter." Mavis finally said. Lucy then stumbled back wards until she almost fell onto the ground, but grabbed the bed railing. As Lucy slowly regained her footing, her face was completely pale and trembling.

"Wh-wh-wh-why didn't she tell me about this?" asked Lucy.

"It would've been to dangerous for you then. I think she was going to tell you later on, but she passed on before she could ever tell you." Makarov answered.

"Your father was also oblivious about this 'till the very end." Mavis added.

"And, can you tell me, what is this magic?" Lucy asked, starting to calm down.

"The powers you have are called Heaven's and Hell's magic. As you saw earlier, the move you did was part of Heaven's magic. Heaven's magic is mostly for defensive strategies, like evading or defense as you did with your wings. Any of it's spells will be able to increase your speed, agility, and defenses. Along with a unique spell to put people to sleep." Mavis explained.

"While Hell's magic is meant for the offensive. That magic will give you extra strength and skills. It will also create weapons out of your magic power." said Makarov.

"Is that all? That doesn't seem to dangerous." said Lucy.

"There's one more thing." Makarov added. That caught Lucy's attention.

"You can also have the power to transform." said Mavis.

"Transform!?" Lucy exclaimed.

"Yes. With Heaven's magic, you can transform into a true angel." said Makarov.

"But, with Hell's magic..." Mavis trailed off.

"What about Hell's magic?" Lucy asked feeling slightly nervous.

"...Just make sure you never use that power." Mavis said before turning on her heel and began to leave the room, being followed by Makarov. Once they left the room, Lucy stood like a statue in the room, still processing what she just heard.

"My mom...the daughter of Mavis. And me...being the granddaughter of Zeref." said Lucy as she stared at the floor and clenching her fists.

Suddenly, Lucy punched the wall hard enough to create a hole in the wall. When she pulled her hand away, she saw a golden light surrounding it so she wouldn't get hurt. It then faded away after a few moments.

"So it's true." Lucy grunted. She let out one last growl before leaving the infirmary and slamming the door. After walking down an empty hall way for about a few minutes, she finally made it back to her team, who were all watching the matches.

"Oh, Lucy! You're back!" Juvia said.

"So? What did they have to say?" asked Sting.

"It was nothing important. I'll tell you after the matches are over." Lucy said with a fake smile. Juvia could easily tell that something was troubling her.

"Lucy, you always say you can tell us any thing right?" Juvia said as she held both of Lucy's shoulders.

"Y-yeah." said Lucy.

"Then tell us. What happened in there?" asked Juvia. Lucy's eyes widen from this. Juvia was such a quiet type of girl. And the look in her eye was full of determination.

"Alright. I'll tell you." Lucy said with a sad smile.

As she began to explain everything, they all became unknown about the fights going on behind them. Once Lucy finished explaining everything Mavis and Makarov told her, they were all dead silent and wide eyed. They also couldn't believe what hey just heard.

"I...I can't believe this." Rogue choked out.

"You mean...you're related...to Zeref?" Juvia said in shock, at the same time moving closer to Rogue.

"This is truly...a disturbing memory." said Rufus, his hands shaking.

"..." Sting couldn't say any thing about the subject.

"I know. Hard to take in. But it's true. Just a few more things to trouble me." Lucy said as tears began to form.

Suddenly, her wrist was pulled and she ended up hitting a chest. When she looked up, she saw that it was Sting who was now hugging her. His head was over her shoulder and he had his arms wrapped tightly around her. Small shades of pink made their way to her cheeks when she learned it was Sting.

"Um...Sting..." Lucy said in his chest.

"Would you quit crying for once?" Sting said next to her ear. He then pulled away and looked her in the eye with a serious look, but it then turned into a wide grin like Natsu's and Lucy knew that meant 'we'll always be here for you'. Lucy then smiled as well, so did all of the others.

"Alright. From now on, I'll try not to complain about anything." said Lucy.
