I honestly found it kinda funny how I stopped doing the disclaimer for a few chapters and then I randomly did it on... chapter 3, was it? Besides that, wow. I cannot believe I actually got 50 follows. I love you guys to death! .
Anyway, sorry for the late update! Hope you guys enjoy!

The intruder smiled warmly, tears glistening in her sparkling blue eyes.
"Lucy-nee… It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Lucy sniffed, tears overflowing, and nodded.
Gasping out, she reached for the small child, her arms wrapping around her back.
She had known it was her from one glance, but… How was this possible?
And why did she look like a little girl the age of 5?
"M-Michelle…" Lucy managed to gasp out at last, smiling warmly.
Michelle looked up at her big sister, grinning.
"How is this possible? Why are you so tiny?"
Michelle's smile widened even more, and she stepped away from Lucy's grasp, fiddling with her ribbon.
Standing at about 4 feet, Michelle was an adorable little girl with long golden brown hair that ended at the bottom of her back, and sparkling blue eyes.
She was dressed in a deep blue dress that had a lighter blue layer under it and a short skirt that ended above her knees.
A white bow decorated her chest and waist area, where it held the white trim together.
On top of the first bow was a pretty pink rose.
Her legs were bare, but her tiny feet were adorned with blue ankle boots that matched the shade of her dress and had white trim on the top, and her wrists had a single pink lace bracelet on each hand.
Michelle gave her a grin.
"Layla-sama helped me!"
The stellar beauty's eyes widened immediately, and she gulped.
"My mother… is she alive?"
Giving her a sweet grin, the little girl nodded.
"Michelle… Tell me everything, please."
Taking a deep breath, Michelle got in to telling Lucy about what had happened.
"When I died, I didn't really die."
The mage looked at her in confusion, so the child started to explain.
"You see, I'm not exactly a doll, but then again, I'm not a human nor spirit either."
Lucy furrowed her brows in thought.
What the hell was going on?
"I am a creation of Layla-sama."
Lucy's eyes widened to their maximum and although all of these questions seemed to rush through her head, one stood out the most.
How?
"I am such a thing called celtic. A being created by a celestial master."
Celtic?
Wait. Celestial master?
That meant… she was right.
"The story…"
Michelle nodded.
"It's true. There are mages whose magic passes the very boundaries of mere humans. They harbor a universe of magic within themselves and are one with the sky and planets."
Lucy gasped in shock.
How could a mage that possible…?!
"Celestial masters are not from human brethren though."
The blonde immediately paid attention.
"They are in the bloodline of the very gods themselves, rulers of not only Earthland, but each planet and time itself."
"There are only two known celestial masters left in this world. One is your mother, Layla-sama, and the other…"
Lucy pursed her lips.
Her father? Some person she didn't know? Or maybe…
"Is you, onee-san!"
Everything around her seemed to blur except for Michelle and herself.
Her? Celestial master?
Breathing suddenly became a challenge.
"Me…? How…?"
Michelle placed her tiny hand on top of the young Heartfilia's and gave her a kind smile.
Smiling back, Lucy gave the girl a soft pat on the head, urging her to continue her story.
"As I was saying, I never really died, since I'm not exactly human nor spirit. I was instead sent back to my creator, Layla-sama, where she gave me a body to match my soul, which was, a young girl."
"Michelle, I don't mean to offend you, but…-"
"Why would Layla-sama create me?"
Lucy nodded.
"Because, she knew that her time near your side was short, so she created me so that I could watch over you for her, and tell her how you were doing."
"My mother knew her time was short…? She couldn't have… the disease was so unexpected, and she's still alive, isn't she?"
Taking a deep breath, Michelle held Lucy's hands in her own.
"Onee-san… after your mother "passed" , did you or your father ever see her body?"
!
Lucy's eyes widened.
What was she trying to convey…?
Shaking her head slowly, Lucy responded.
"Now that I recall, no… The doctor never let us near… I only saw it at the funeral…"
Squeezing her hands, Michelle looked in her, telling her that there was no going back with her eyes.
Swallowing, the blonde stood up and firmly shook her head.
"Your mother never died of a strange illness. That was a magical illusion. Layla-sama… she isn't even fully human."
Ba-thump.
Her body seemed to grow numb.
"Layla-sama has the blood of majyx running through her- gods that hold the very beginning of magic."
"You know how a spirit's body cannot hold out very long in the human world?"
Lucy nodded, her mind flashing to Loke.
"It was almost like that. Because of her overwhelming magic, there were ripples in the atmosphere. She was forced to leave before everything went to ruins. So, she created this space between reality and magic to retreat to, and has been protecting ancient magical creatures and magjyx."
Ba-thump.
"If I'm one of these oh-so-powerful celestial masters, how come I'm so weak…?"
The words were strong at first, but faded out towards the end of the sentence.
Damn.
It hurt finally saying it out loud.
Michelle seemed to notice the way her jaw clenched and how her nails dug in to her palms, because, she gave her hands a reassuring squeeze.
"You know those things on your ears?"
Blank stare.
"Michelle-chan… they're called earrings…"
Michelle stared at her, smiling, before looking away.
?!
"So Layla-sama…"
'She's trying to act like nothing happened?!'
Lucy sweat-dropped, rubbing her temple, before motioning for her to continue.
"Those heart earrings that Layla-sama gave to you, they're restraints on your magic."
Nani?!
"If your magic wasn't held back until you knew how to harness it, you'd be ripped apart from its power."
A shiver found its way down Lucy's spine.
'If I had taken off the earrings for a while, I would've…'
Her thoughts were interrupted when Michelle pulled her hands away from Lucy's.
"Nee-chan… are you ready to see your mother?"
It was too sudden.
She couldn't possibly.
What would she say?
She wasn't sure whether she was angry or not, being tricked and fooled with like that.
But, she knew one thing.
No matter what, she couldn't possibly bring herself to hate her mother.
Her lips seemed to have a mind of their own as she spoke.
"Take me to her."
Do you know how many pages this took in Microsoft Word? 4 and a half. Which isn't too bad, now that I think about it...
Besides that, hope you guys enjoyed!
I'm really grateful for all the follows and favorites, this being my first time posting on fanfiction.
Love you guys! :)
