2015: Revised
Lights flashed behind Lucy's closed eyelids, like a downpour of fireworks. Lucy felt detached, her mind spun, everything was numb. Lucy winced as she opened her eyes, the lights blinding her momentarily. As the room filled in so did the past events.
The nasty reminder of drinking that bizarre water pricked at the back of her mind and then the familiar terror of her being somewhere unknown. As Lucy gained more awareness she began to question if truly was just the water that was odd.
She was sprawled out on what seemed like an endless field of green grass, dressed completely in white, almost as if she was wearing a wedding gown.
Lucy rolled over eyes wide as an endless sky of whiteness stared down at her. "Where am I?" Lucy muttered to herself mindlessly.
"You're finally awake."
Lucy jumped out of her skin, the initial shock of another voice making her jump to her feet in scanned the plain, she didn't see was definitely going insane.
"You sure are worked up. Yet they usually are the first time" The voice echoed again.
Lucy whipped her head around, again no one else stood alongside her, what was going on?
"W-who's there?" Lucy called out, her voice wobbling unsteadily.
"I guess I should stop teasing you and show myself, shouldn't I?" The velvet like voice cooed, more talking to themselves than Lucy.
Terrified and heart thudding in her ears, Lucy tried unsuccessfully to act calm, collected.
"Close your eyes."The voice whispered in her ear seductively.
Seizing up, Lucy took a calming breath, something in her mind was telling her to trust this voice. Though her heart faltered in panic as she succumbed to this wish, letting her eyes slip closed once again. For what felt like a lifetime Lucy stood there, eyes closed, waiting for whoever was going to appear to actually do so.
"You can open your eyes now." The voice said smoothly.
Lucy did as she was told, the voice was surprisingly persuasive. As she did so Lucy almost fainted from shock when she saw the most beautiful man she'd ever laid eyes on standing right in front of her. Lucy wasn't exactly sure what she was expecting from the mysterious voice but this certainly wasn't it.
He stood meters away from her, hazel eyes concentrating on her face intently, hands stuffed in his jean pockets. His copper hair hung in his eyes, full lips met in a simple bow on the lower half of his face. A nice, angular nose sat squarely on his face, the even flesh of his face unmarred by any imperfections.
Lucy couldn't manage anything except a exceedingly dumbfounded look. At Lucy's ridiculous appearance the man quirked his eyebrows in amusement, puckering his lips slightly in thought.
"Well, you're definitely cuter than the previous ones."
Lucy knew he was talking but she was so distracted by his lips moving as he spoke the words went in one ear and out the other.
Again, he seemed to notice this and a small smirk slipped across his face.
"What's your name in this cycle, my dear?" He asked, voice a enticing whisper.
"Lucy." Lucy blurted out. Something about this man made her want to spill every dirty little secret, without a question he was something unworldly.
"Cute." He said, another small smile gracing his face.
Lucy felt something unnerving pulsate off this man, like dark energy had coiled itself around him like a snake and he was trying to mask it with seduction and attractiveness. Although Lucy was sure something was terribly wrong she couldn't help but feel drawn to him, like a moth to flame.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked.
Again he directed his eyes on her, an unusual expression set on his face. "Angel." He said flatly.
Lucy swallowed thickly, well she couldn't think of a more fitting name. He truly did look like an angel.
"Why am I here?" Lucy asked, floundering in the thick white dress she was wearing.
Angel let out a small laugh, like he was in on some inside joke he didn't expect Lucy to understand.
"I'm here to extend a greeting, a sort of reintroduction." He said calmly.
Lucy felt her heart jump and her bones turn to soft dough. Something about him made her lose all sense of thought, he was dangerous.
Angel kept his intimidating gaze on her face, Lucy felt sheepish and shuffled her feet in the thick grass awkwardly.
"But I did bring you here for a specific reason."
Lucy looked up.
"You see I don't usually make a habit of discussing business matters with mortals but seeing as this is rather person I must." Angel murmured, eyes dancing over Lucy's figure.
Lucy suddenly felt very self-conscious and a thick blush painted her cheeks.
"What do you want from me?" Lucy asked, trying her best to sound fearless.
Angel chuckled coldly, shaking his head.
"It's not what I want, it's what I deserve. Also a sort of belated gift for you, if you're interested."
Lucy froze, her mind racing, what did he mean? Confusion wracked Lucy's mind.
"Stop worrying, if you keep furrowing your brow like that you'll get the most miserable wrinkles" Angel snickered, voice playful. "How about I make it easier on you? I have the ability to give your what you want most. What you need most" He said airily, eyes still fixed on Lucy, watching her every move.
"What do you want the most?" He whispered, eyes taunting.
A million thoughts whirled inside Lucy's head, her mother, soft smile and kind hand, all of her faults, her failure at magic. A guilty image of Lucy dominating Natsu with her magic power flashed in her mind before she could suppress it. But her mind remained stuck on her mother, Layla's soft grace.
Lucy shook those thoughts out of her mind, it was crazy to want to bring back the dead. The impending feeling that if she took anything this man offered she'd be signing a death waiver strong in her mind.
"I-I don't want anything." Lucy stammered, shielding her eyes from his, her lies apparent.
"You're lying." Angel snarled.
Lucy felt her knees turn to butter, she wanted to scream and run away, but she knew no one could hear her. She was trapped.
"I feel your hatred towards your mothers murderer, to see her smile once again." Angel hissed, his mouth now inches from Lucy's ear.
"I'll can't grant you that wish, Lucy. But I can show you how to get her back yourself."
Lucy felt fear tremor through her body, hot tears ran down her face.
"No, no, NO!" Lucy wailed, hands pressed to her eyes, shaking her head furiously, she needed to block out the sound of his voice! "I don't want this! You're insane! No one can bring back the dead."
Angel stepped back, arms crossed over his chest.
"Are you too afraid? Even though this is all you truly want. You're a coward."
Angel's hand shot out, yanking Lucy's wrist. Lucy shrieked, struggling to get away from his grasp.
"It was you! It was all you! You're the one who poisoned the lake, you did all of this!" Lucy screamed, thrashing at Angel with all her might.
"I did what needed to be done!" Angel snapped, wrenching Lucy's index finger from her clenched fist.
"Get off of me!" Lucy screeched loudly.
"Stop squirming!" Angel growled.
Lucy felt her blood slow, her eyes growing heavy, her body went limp.
Angel pricked her finger, examining the small droplet of blood on the end of the pin closely.
He let go of Lucy's body, she hit the ground painfully.
"Now, the contract is signed and you'll know things no other mortal knows. You should be overjoyed." Angel smiled devilishly.
Lucy felt her body growing weaker and weaker.
"Go to hell." Lucy spat feebly, eyes rolling into the back of her head.
Angel grinned down at the now unconscious witch. "Oh love, where do you think I came from?."
OoOoOoO
"What was she thinking?"
"I . . . I don't know. I was so worried about her. She's never done anything this reckless before. I don't know what got into her."
"I need to check on the other patients, watch over her for me."
"Of course ma'am."
Voices droned on endlessly in Lucy's mind, the blackness still swamping her vision pleasantly. Sleep felt great, like she hadn't closed her eyes from centuries.
Something warm was on her forehead and it sent nice tremors of warmth throughout her body.
A nagging feeling like something was very wrong sat in the back of her mind, haunting her.
Lucy wriggled in her sleep, the feeling now strangling her previously happy thoughts.
"Lucy?" A familiar voice from the void called.
Lucy took deep, ragged breaths, her mind blanketing whatever darkness she wished to seek.
"Madame Porlyuscia, I think something's wrong!"
Lucy felt like magma was snaking through her veins, she withered and groaned as a burning sensations set fire across her skin.
"She's burning up!" Another frantic voice pounded against Lucy's sensitive head.
"W-what do we do?"
Lucy let out an agonized scream as her eyes shot open and the world filled in around her.
Levy cowered over her, her eyebrows knitted together anxiously. Everything was blurred but Levy's face, Lucy panted, sweat dripping down her face.
"Lucy! Are you alright!" Levy tittered nervously, hands crushing Lucy's in a death grip.
A small, weak smile slide across Lucy's face.
"I-I'm fine." She lied, voice hardly above a whisper.
Porlyuscia then popped into Lucy's vision, her eyes narrowed.
"You gave us quite a scare. We found you half-dead near the green houses." Porlyuscia said coldly, looking down on Lucy scornfully.
Levy frowned, eyes watching Lucy steadily as she sat up.
"What were you thinking?" Levy whispered, eyes questioning.
Lucy leaned back against her sparse arrangement of pillows, the room had stopped spinning at least.
"I don't know." Lucy whispered, her mind so painfully blank. As if all her memories from last night had been wiped clean.
Levy frowned deeper, worry prickling steadily at her heart.
"You're not telling me something." Levy said stiffly.
Lucy sighed, closing her eyes, a massive headache picking apart her brain painfully.
"I-I don't know." Lucy muttered quietly.
Levy stood from her seat beside Lucy's cot and grabbed her jacket abruptly.
"I have to go." She said, turning on her heel and marching out of the infirmary.
Lucy groaned, pulling the scratchy blankets up to her chin.
How could she possibly explain to Levy what she couldn't even remember?
"Miss. Heartfillia, you're going to have to stay the night here. You're in a much better condition than before, so I'll allow you to go to class to tomorrow." Porlyuscia said, measuring the medication Lucy was going to have to take into a large spoon.
"But, I'd advise, for future reference, stay out of the woods." Porlyuscia said callously. "Now open your mouth."
Lucy obliged to the order, the spoon tickling the back of her throat unpleasantly. Lucy swallowed the foul tasting liquid and then fell back onto her pillows.
With a calculated nod Porlyuscia placed a glass of water on the tray beside Lucy's bed.
"Now sleep child." She ordered.
Then Lucy all too willingly obliged.
