I also have to make up a story for English as my homework -.- although I love writing stories I wouldn't want mines to be read out to the entire class... That's what's going to happen to some of the best stories -.- I sometimes like to write sadistic stories but don't blame me there's always a sadist in every person whether its a small bit of their personality or its basically all of it there's always a sadist... Well that's what I think! Anyway enough of my blabbering here's the chappy! See you at the bottom!

Previously:

" Silence Celestia! Is that anyway to treat Layla's lady in waiting and soon to be Lucy's lady in waiting?! Hm?!" She was answered by my silence as I pursed my lips. " didn't think so now it's like you to disagree with my judgement but I have foretold the future and that boy is needed to complete Cupids little plan... You just need patience..." She flew of back to her lair leaving me snarling at her behind her back.

" sometimes the future can change you know... Your not premonitions aren't always accurate..." I whispered silently...

Chapter 9: Love is an unexpected thing

Lucy's P.O.V

I woke up to find myself being hugged by a handsome black haired boy...
" KYAA!" I fell off the bed and woke up Shin, " gomen ne I was just surprised!" I smiled shyly at him. He smiled back at me and helped me up,

" no problem besides its my fault anyway for sneaking in your bed!" He replied. After another minute of exchanging apologies he went off to cook breakfast, I walked in front of the tent and took a deep breath. Originally I had planned to avoid Laxus until he apologised for hurting Shin but I just couldn't bear avoiding him for a long time and I wanted to be friends again. And that's all I'll ever be... Just a friend... I entered the tent and was surprised to find the tent neat and tidy, the bed had no signs that Laxus had slept on it yesterday. Hmm I wonder where he is...

I went back outside to find that Shin had already finished preparing breakfast, I made my way to him and he gave me a piece of toast, a piece of bacon and a glass of water. It was not much but we needed to train really early, we started training more on advanced moves of Arc of Time and Arc of Embodiment.

" phew! You're already really good! And it's only been 2 days! You're learning faster than anyone I know!" He congratulated me. But I wasn't going to let my guard down at that little compliment, that would only make me fall into one of his traps.

" Nice try Shin! You can't trick me like last time! You'll have to do better than that! Besides you implanted lacrimas in me so that made it way easier!" This time I praised him.

" Thanks! But that petty little comment won't distract me at all Lucy! Nice try though! But even with the lacrima you've been learning really quickly!" He attacked me with Flash Forward, an Arc of Time spell.

"That which dwells in my left hand is a golden shield that pushes back everything." Once I finished the incantation my left hand immediately turned into a golden shield shielding me from the devastating attacks Shin was doing. The final spell I had to master was one of the most powerful ones, I concentrated so hard that all the noise was blocked out. " Tower of Dingir!" A massive tower rose out of the ground dragging Shin into it while at the same time immobilising him, after a short time it exploded. It must have been heard for miles since the blast itself had my ears ringing but I still managed to come out intact... My surroundings were still smoky and some of the nearby trees had been blown to smithereens but that didn't keep me from rejoicing.

" I DID IT! I actually did it! Thank you so much Shin! I really can't thank you enough!" I was greeted back with silence, after the smoke cleared I found shin passed out on the forest floor. I panicked and dragged him back to the campsite by dragging him by his right leg. When I arrived I set him on his bed and waited for him to wake up hoping I didn't put him into a coma. I nudged him worriedly, " Shin... Shin wake up... I still need to tell you that I beaten you... Shin..." I got up and placed the box with Laxus's name on it on the bedside table, I went back outside again and tried all sorts of methods to help wake up Shin.

A familiar scent made its was towards my nose but before I could decipher who it was I was already too late. I felt two hands suddenly place themselves on my shoulders immediately shocking me into action, I sent the attacker a few of my orbs only to be surprised to find Laxus standing there like an idiot enduring the pain. He doesn't have to prove he's strong!

" Did you finally kill him Lucy?!" He asked me nonchalantly. I gaped at him like a fish then my anger took over.

" Of course not and why would I want to kill him?!" I retorted back at him

" God how many times do I have to tell you?! He's a member of a dark guild! That's the only reason and what has he been teaching you?! Dark magic! Oh have to be careful Lucy! I don't want to see you hurt!" He moved forward to hug me but I brushed his hug off. Tears were forming in my eyes so rapidly at his words that they were soon to fall...

" So you're calling me weak?! Just like Natsu?!... I thought you were different Laxus... I thought you were much more better... But dragon slayers are alike one way or another... I hoped you'd be different... J-just go back to Mira... Besides she's the one you want isn't she?!..." I thought you loved me... I added silently. I looked at him with teary eyes.

" that's not what I me-" I just ran back into the forest not wanting to hear anymore lies. " Lucy! Wait! Lucyyy!"

Deeper and deeper into the forest I went until the whole forest floor seemed to spin around. I stumbled into a small but beautiful meadow, I was surrounded by ankle length flowers swaying along with the breeze. I suddenly felt at peace... I felt nostalgia... An old memory then seeped its way back to the present day.

FLASHBACK

" Mama! Mama! Look this is what I want my garden to look like!" I showed her a picture of a large garden filled with beautiful flower with all sorts of different colours, basically it was a garden filled with multicoloured flowers. Mama smiled at me then called the maids, she showed them my picture. They smiled at me and started to work on the garden.

2 days after

I tugged mama's hand eager to see my new garden she smiled at me and I smiled back. " Come on mama! I want to see my new garden now!"

" You have to be patient honey. Patience is always key!" she replied back at me. I pouted but did not argue more. Once we were outside I let go of mama's hand already impatient, I ran over to the garden and was amazed. Flowers were planted everywhere all of different colours, one was red then the other blue another yellow and well more colours too much to tell them all. But I was disappointed to see that it was not as large as I wanted it to be but I quickly disposed of my frown and turned it into a smile. I looked at mama and smiled my fake smile at her she looked sad a little bit but then she smiled back at me. Her smile looked genuine while mine remained fake

" Lets go darling I want to teach you celestial spirit magic... Do you want to learn it?!" She asked me. My smile brightened and soon we were off to training.

FLASHBACK END

I laid down in the middle of the meadow the flowers surrounding me, am I cursed to have a heart breaking life?! What have I done to deserve this?! Sometimes I question my very existence... Why does EarthLand need me... Nobly needs me... I was just a curse put upon Fiore... That's right... A curse... I plucked a bright yellow flower and gazed at it while remembering all my memories both happy and sad. I plucked out four other flowers, one pink, blue, red and light blue. I bunched them up together with the yellow flower, the pink one was Natsu, the blue Gray, the red one Erza and finally the light blue one Happy. While I was the yellow flower, I missed those times when team Natsu was just us no Lissana and I didn't leave... If Lissana hadn't come back from the dead none of this would have happened... I would still be in Fairy Tail... Not heartbroken not lonely... I wouldn't have met Laxus... I wouldn't have fallen in love... I wouldn't be feeling this pain... The only good thing that came out of it was meeting the dragons... The only good thing... I laid there thinking about all the pros and cons of this adventure only to come up with more cons than pros when suddenly an image appeared in front of me.

" Lucy what are you doing there?! Shouldn't you be in the tent?!" Celestia asked me

" I don't want you to get hurt now!" Grandeeney added

"don't worry guys in fine! Oh yes and what is this place?!" I asked dodging Celestia's unanswered question.

" Layla asked us to plant flowers there for your garden... She said she was going to show you it sometime but it was only finished when she passed away... Now can you please tell me why you're not in the tent?!" I smiled at her

" I thought so... Anyway I'm not in the tent because me and Laxus had a fight..." I avoided her eyes hoping she wouldn't see my vulnerability or my pain. She sighed.

" I thought so, that brat better not hurt you anymore or else I'll have a little talk with Elektra... Oh yes and be careful when you're around that Shin guy... I suspect he's up to something" before I could unleash my rage on her the image disappeared. Why does everyone think Shin is a bad guy?! He's not! Nobody even bothered to get to truly know him but me! And I know for a fact that he's not! I got up and focused all my anger on a clump of trees. " Jet black sword!" My right arm turned into a claw-like shield as I advanced towards the trees, my arm collided with the trees and cut straight though without any difficulties at all. Once all my anger was expressed through destruction I restored the trees back, before I had destroyed them.

I practised tower of Dingir and Belfast the Hurricane again and again until I had mastered it completely it took about 6 hours, I then moved on to Ghosts of Brittia. That took about 3 hours. By then it was beginning to darken a little but I still persisted to Master all of the spells Shin had taught me, when I was exhausted I performed a healing spell on myself to restore my stamina and my power level. Apparently I can heal myself with the sky dragon's healing spell unlike Wendy. That thing about not being able to heal my own wounds and stamina apparently didn't apply to me since I am the queen... well soon to be anyway. I arrived back to the campsite which was left abandoned, I saw a little note on top of Shin's bed. I picked it up and started to read it, it read:

Dear Lucy,

I have gone to Shirotsume town to pick up a few things don't wait up on me I might be a little late! Oh yes and I talked to Laxus I think it's better if you don't talk to him after a while he looked really angry, don't look for him either you might get lost... If you feel lonely just call me in this card! Sorry for leaving you but you can train while I'm gone! Not that you need training you really beat me up!

Take care, Shin!

I giggled, I guess I have gotten stronger! I picked up the cars and slipped in my pocket, I looked inside the tent and found the box gone. I smiled to myself, he must have taken it... I laid down on the soft mattress and began a short slumber. " Laxus..."

2 hours later

(can you please listen to Everytime we touch by Cascada! the slow version not the normal fast paced version! Oh yes an if it stops while the chapter is not finished yet just play it again until the chapters over! sorry for the hassle! Arigato!)

I woke up and to find that the tent was becoming shrouded in a veil of darkness. There was an unsteady feeling rising in my stomach, I quickly made my way outside to find that I was still the only one here and that Laxus and Shin hadn't come back yet I began to grow worried. I ran into the forest searching in vain for Laxus, " Laxus! Laxus! Answer me! Where are you?!... Laxus..." Tears sprang into my eyes. Where could he be?! Could he be in danger?!... My pace was quickening and soon I caught a whiff of Laxus's scent. I bounded off in that direction and arrived at an abandoned warehouse. There I smelt Laxus and... Shin?! And also a bunch of other unrecognisable scents. I crept closer to the warehouse and peeked through the window.

" Oi boss can we beat him up some more?!" A small and chubby mage asked mischief glinting in his eyes

"Yeah! Can we can we?!" I looked over to their hostage and gasped when I saw Laxus tied up.

" No! Our main guest has arrived! Be on the best behaviour!" The duo giggled mischievously but said nothing more. I backed away my cover already blown when suddenly I remembered all the times Laxus had saved me... Now it's my turn to save him! I entered the warehouse confident and immediately ran over to Laxus to untie him.

" Laxus!" At that exact moment the two people I was spying on earlier went in front of him effectively stopping me from coming any closer. " let him go! What do you want with him anyway?!" I hissed at them. My protective side surfacing.

" tut tut tut is that anyway to speak to your hosts?! Now sit down and say sorry!" The short man ordered me. I glared at him.

" psh as if! What do your think I am?! A dog?!" I screamed at him, " now this is your last warning! Let Laxus go now!"

" sorry girlie but your boyfriend is going nowhere and so are you!" I had enough and attacked him.

" Belfast the Hurricane!" I summoned the wyvern like creature before me, " attack them!" The creature did as it was told and began to launch devastating attacks on Laxus's captors.

" Gravity grasp! " I was lifted into the air and then suddenly I felt an excruciating pain. I screamed in agony at the feeling, Belfast attacked my attacker immobilising him of his power. I fell to the ground the pain slowly disappearing. I got up my anger flaring.

" Ghosts of Brittia!" Phantoms surrounded the two immobilising them almost immediately, " Jet Black sword!" I kept slashing them with my claw like sword with the help of Belfast until they were a pile of bodies on the ground. I rush over to Laxus and began untying the rope, when I finished I untied the gag around his mouth and held his face in my hands. I looked him in the eye my tears refreshing my tear-shrunken eyes, I hugged him closer to me never wanting to let go until he suddenly released me and stood 2 metres protectively in front of me.

" Fall!" The mage I thought to have defeated shouted. The area surrounding Laxus broke under immense gravity Laxus stood there and didn't even try to deflect it with his lightning if he even could, he got pushed down by the gravity and all I could do was watch in horror. Belfast tried to push Laxus out of the way but got caught in the pressure and immediately disappeared.

" No! Laxus! Please! Please stop! I'll do anything! Just please... Don't hurt him anymore!" I begged the enemy. But even with my pleading it was futile. Laxus was still continually being crushed by gravity until finally the ground beneath him broke. Dust covered the battlefield and when it cleared a persistent Laxus still tried to stand, he was covered in bruises and cuts and soon I had enough.

"Flash forward!" My orbs appeared and attacked the enemy effectively knocking him out. I ran over to Laxus and began to heal him, " Laxus please stop I can handle them on my own! You've already proved your strong! Please! " he just chuckled.

" I won't stop protecting you no matter what... For as long as I live you'll always be safe when I'm around... I promise... No one is going to hurt a hair on you or else I'll kill them!" He kissed me lightly on the lips while the tears that were building up finally flowed freely.

" If you two love-birds are done saying goodbye let me introduce you to... My guild members..." A dark figure said, I couldn't see him clearly since he was always in a veil of darkness but I could still make out his figure his scent seemed familiar...way too familiar... About 7 more people appeared from the darkness their faces twisted with pleasure. About 5 started to beat up Laxus while he did nothing to fight back. Was he conserving his energy?! But I just healed him! Laxus what's wrong with you?!... 2 members of their guild started to advance on me while they started to lick their lips

" Hey Blondie why don't you ditch your boyfriend and start going out with a real man?!" A tall yet thin blonde offered. Eww no thanks! A katana materialised in front of me, I unsheathed it my eyes glowing bright red.

" Don't toy with me if you want a fight bring it!" They advanced on me. I charged towards them cutting and slicing whatever my katana could pierce through their skin. The blonde boy started using his magic which just had to be chain magic! While the other one had wind magic. I smirked when the other person tried to attack me with wind. I ate it while I savoured their surprised looks on their faces, I didn't want to reveal one of my magic yet so I performed an arc of time spell.
"Luminous Minutes!" The wind user was knocked out unconscious but the other one wasn't.

" Belcusas the Thunderclap! Belfast the Hurricane!" The two monsters stood in front of me, " Belcusas help Laxus!" The creature nodded and went over to Laxus. " Belfast please help me!" We both attacked the opponent and when the enemy restrained Belfast by his chains I attacked him.

Soon all of the members of their weak guild were defeated all except one...
The person stepped out of the shadow and was hit by stray rays of moonlight. I gasped in utter astonishment.
" Shin..."

" Why are you so surprised?! Was I perhaps not the person you thought I was?! Hm?!" He leered at both of us.

" why?!... How could you?!... I helped you when you wer-"

" Beaten up?! Haha as if! That dark guild I made up was actually my guild... I was in trouble for not leading the council to our current location so I was punished I managed to find you two when I was wandering around. At first I was stopped by this barrier then suddenly it faded away, I took my chance and entered. I figured there had to be people here so I cut myself to like like I had been attacked! I was lucky that you fell for it! Now it's time to repay the favour..." He smiled wickedly and proceeded to attack us. Chains shot towards me and was about to attack me when Laxus blocked the attack. He was dragged closer to Shin.

" Dark Ecriture: Pain!" Laxus started to thrash about but refused to show any signs of weakness and that included screaming in pain. I put my hands in my mouth to stop me from begging, he wouldn't like that... He wouldn't want to see you begging... especially to the enemy I just stood there crying unable to move.

" Laxus fight back please! I know you can! Just fight back!" I pleaded

" Dark Ecriture: Suffering! Haha don't you get it Lucy I'm using nullification magic on him. He can't do a thing! I would do it on you too but I can only use it on one person at a time" His screams of pain were now evident while sobs were racking my entire body.

" STOP! Please stop! Don't hurt him anymore! Please!" He just laughed at me and continued on his torturous punishment. He kept repeating his attacks until finally he used the one that pushed me on the verge of sanity. The one Elfman almost experienced...

" Dark Ecriture: Death!" Shin smiled sadistically and prepared to kill Laxus when I finally snapped. NOO! Everything then seemed to slow down...Mama died... Papa died... Now Laxus is going to die... How many more people that I love do you want to die until you're satisfied... Why is the while world against me... All I ever wanted was happiness... Mama and papa can't give me happiness anymore... Neither can Fairy Tail... Only sad heartbreaking memories... Laxus... He can give me happiness... He's the only one who can... and now he's about to disappear from my life...forever... I felt a deep hatred stir within me I stood up an glared at Shin menacingly my canines enlarging. I flexed my wrist and soon Inferno rose from the ground. I grasped inferno tightly while flames coated my body acting like my aura. Shin stopped his attack and Laxus fell to the floor barely conscious and but alive. That was all that mattered...

"You hurt Laxus... You made him suffer... You made him feel pain... Now it's time that I repay the favour... For hurting my mate!" I swung the scythe and missed his neck by an inch. I screamed enraged, I kept slicing his entire body his blood coating the blade.
He shot out his chains again and knocked the scythe out of my grasp. The chains coil around my wrist constricting it tightly, I glared at shin.
" Celestial Dragon's Roar!" A beam of pure golden light shot Shin, his chains disappearing. My wrist did a 90 degree turn and Inferno reacted at the gesture. It flew over to my hand as I swung it skilfully creating an infinity sign which was visible at the speed I was swinging it in. Once shin was in my view all I could see was a boy bloodied and broken up against the wall I lifted the scythe high above my head and was ready to kill him when suddenly I heard Laxus.

" Lucy... I know you won't kill him... I know you won't... Because you're my Lucy... Who is kind and beautiful... The Lucy I know and love... He deserves your mercy..." I dropped inferno and looked at Laxus. There he was standing smiling at me as if none of this mess had never happened. I ran over to him embracing him tightly as if he would disappear at any given moment. I cried into his shirt while he hugged me back tightly.

"But I don't understand don't you like Mira?!" I looked up at him. He removed his hands from my waist and cupped my face, his thumbs wiping my tears away. He chuckled.

" I'd rather have you than Mira any day! Why did you think that I loved Mira?!" I blushed at his statement.

" I spied on you when you were talking to Mira during your thought projection, I heard you say you loved her..." I looked down remembering the memory crystal clear.

" did you hear anything before that?!" He asked me, I shook my head. " I figured, I was actually talking to Mira on how to... How do you say this... Confess to you... So she came up with the idea to pretend that Mira was you to practice my confession... So here goes nothing... I know we've been travelling together for a long time now and well I need to tell you something really important. Listen the first time I met you I thought you were weak and that you were unimportant but once I got to know the real you the more I fell deeply in love with you. I know you may not like me back considering how I made Evergreen turn you into stone but I still want to know. Do you love me?! Because well... I love you..." I looked at him shocked beyond my wildest dreams... He did love me... And here I thought I was being used... But no... He actually loved me!! I cupped his face and brought it closer to mines. the kiss started off passionately but then became more fervent as he thrusted his tongue roughly into my mouth, swirling it around and mingling with mines I finally gave in and let him explore my mouth. His left hand brought me closer to him, while his right hand caressed my face as I moaned into our kiss. While his body was moulded perfectly against mines, it left me breathless and every inch of me was anticipating his touch. When we parted for air I stared into his lust filled eyes.

" Of course I love you! You're my mate after all! The one and only Laxus Dreyar as my mate... That doesn't sound so bad" I smiled at him while he kissed my forehead. Though our joy was short lived, a new threat appeared in a matter of minutes.

" Hello Lucy... It's good to finally meet you!" A sadistic giggle was heard behind me. It couldn't be!
