Chapter 2


Lucy's POV

"Young mistress, it is not safe to go to the Dragneel manor!" the other maids protested. My eyes stang, as the maids were going to pour more protests on me. I ran knowing that maybe if I told my father, I'd be able to go. I'd be able to go to Natsu.

I charged through his door and cried. Tears flowed down my pink tinted cheeks. My father sitting at his desk gasped in shock "Lucy!-"As he was about to talk the maids burst into the room.

"Sir Heartfilia, we are deeply sorry for the young miss' and our rude intrusion" they exclaimed.

"Whatever is the matter?" My father is in complete shock. The room was a mess, I was crying on the floor and the maids were desperate to drag me out.

"Father!" I screamed. The room fell silent. The maids backed off and stood beside me fearing the punishment they might receive.

"You may have your say, Lucy." My father said.

"Father, the Dragneel family that came the other day, was there not an heir among them?" I breathlessly said.

"You mean the young Natsu?" He questioned.

"Yes, Natsu will be sending a carriage to our manor as an invitation to his. May I go?" I clasped my hands together in hope for my success.

"Promise that thy will be acting in her best and most proper manners?"

"I Promise!" I dashed out the door. Down the hallway and stopped in front of the main door to our manor.

There was a loud and firm knock on the other side of the barrier. A manly voice broke through. "The Dragneel carriage has arrived" I slowly opened the door and peeked, to find a tall man with black spiky hair similar to Natsu's, standing outside with a warm smile.

"Are you Miss Lucy?" He tilted to the side, and brought his face closer to mine as if implying I am a mere child.

"Yes" I squeaked when his face leaned in closer.

"Nice to meet you I'm Gray Fullbuster, I'm Dragneel family butler." He held out his hand to lead me to the carriage. I held my dress and walked. "Our young master seems to be quite interested in you" Again he smiled warmly.

"Me?" I was shocked. Natsu and I had only just met; he can't be interested in me. Not in that way, right?

"Once young master returned home yesterday he was so energetic while he ran to me and spoke about you" I smiled as he talked. He opened the door to the large bronze carriage. The inside was so perfectly made and delicate, the beautiful designs on the leather seats and the lace curtains that drooped every time the carriage ran over a bump.


The carriage came to a stop outside a gigantic marble manor. 'This is it; Natsu is inside waiting for me'.

"We are here, Miss Lucy- *Gasp* Young master, you should be inside!" Gray was shouting. Is Natsu outside? Before I could say much to it, the door swung open. There holding his hand out and grinning like an idiot, was Natsu.

I took his hand and stepped out of the carriage, I lost my step as I tried to step out. "Kyaah~"


Natsu's POV

My eyes widened as she lost her step. I held out my arms and caught her, her arms circled around my neck. She was so close, I could smell her rosy scent, and I could see her silk like blond hair flow in the wind. She was so perfect.

"Lucy…" I whispered

I could sense Gray smiling behind me. I turned my head enough so that he could see my glare that I shot him. He noticed and obliged to leave.

"Well then, Young master. I'll wait for you inside the mansion." He said as he bowed and walked off into the mansion doors and shut them, I knew it was so that the maids and other butlers wouldn't see.


Lucy's POV

He was hugging me so tight. I could feel his heart beat race under my palm. I looked into his eyes, I was searching for something. I was searching for the evidence that he loved me.
