No-one's P.O.V
Kratos walked up to the white dragon his eyes narrowed and cautious, "the daemons really got you this time huh Hikari?" the said dragon writhed and hissed. Hikari's eyes turned blood red while a dark colour started to cover her snow-white body. "Just hang on in there, we'll save you..." the said dragon laughed demonically while her scale-colour started to turn a shade darker, the dragons claws were soon smeared in blood just like her teeth while sharp, knife-like protrusions jutted out of her back and all the way to her tail. The first time ever in Dragon History has happened... A dragon being possessed by a powerful demon, more precisely one of the kings of Hell... King Paimon...
Lucy's P.O.V
In her dreams...
I stood alone. In the darkness, while a bone chilling sensation starts to tickle my spine. I shivered uncontrollably while a demonic but feminine laugh echoed in the darkness. My instincts told me to run and get the hell out of there but my legs wouldn't budge and so I stood there; stiff with fear. I decided that it wouldn't get me anywhere standing in the darkness and shivering in fear so I gathered my courage and spoke out, "Who's there? Show me who you are!" My voice echoed into the distance and for a moment I thought I heard quick and rhythmic gasps of air. "Hello?"
I stealthily and quietly followed the sound of the voice. Suddenly claw-like hands grabbed my face in the shadows, its needle-sharp nails slowly puncturing my face. I bit my lip to stop the scream from escaping and tore away from the creature's grip. I wiped away the blood slowly oozing out of the cuts and suddenly dim lights flickered in the distance. All around, Lacrimas were soon filled with lights though the colour of the lacrima made the lighting dim. I could finally see the creature that had attacked me and much to my shock, Oni came into view.
"My my Lucy, you've gotten stronger... And less...fragile..." She leers the last word at me, her taunting smirk never leaving her face, not even for a split second. She walked towards me and as her clawed feet left the earth, blood seems to seep from her feet and trickle down into the ground; though it didn't look like she was injured or in pain at all. She grabbed my face again but this time with less force as she started to caress my cheeks in a pitiful way. "Oh but I pity you, I really do...you'll soon lose your whole family. You'll be left broken hearted as well... Poor, poor porcelain Lucy, so easy to break..."
I slap her hands away from me and stagger backwards, "What do you mean?!" She then started to take a ghostly form, she slowly and gracefully floated towards me and circled me like a vulture, she played my hair with a look of pity visible on her face. "Whatever you say is not true! Lies only come out of that horrid mouth of yours!" I spat at her. She chuckled.
"Did papa Acnologia not tell you that Hikari taught me how to look into the future?...or did he keep that from you as well? Have you ever wondered why Celestia never liked your mate? That last question might be a little off topic but...it's all linked to the future..." Her tempting smile urged me to believe all her lies but I shook my head and glared at her.
"Why should I believe that what you are saying is the truth? Demons are made for the sole purpose to tempt people into doing wrong! Prove to me that what you're saying is true!" She flinched from my outburst but soon wore a saddened smile.
"I wanted to protect you from the future but, if you insist..."she floated around me while making circular movements with her clawed hands. A dark purple mist started to form around me and suddenly I was knocked out cold...
No-One's P.O.V
2 transparent figures were sent spiralling towards the future 1 unconscious and the other grinning from ear to ear. The blonde one awoke soon and by then they already reached their destination. All you could see from miles and miles were destruction, blood and fire. A lone figure stood in the midst of all the blood and gore; her flowing hair bloodied beyond recognition, a scythe in one hand and a dragon medallion in the other.
Lucy's P.O.V
I looked around me horror-stricken; buildings were all but piles of rubble, people and children lay on the ground with atleast one of their body parts severed, some even had their eyeballs plucked out and all that was left was bloodied and empty eye sockets, a broken flag of the Magic Council lay everywhere, fire set the whole land ablaze and the worse thing that came into sight that sent tears to my eyes and my knees buckling; the collapsed and blood-splattered building of Fairy Tail...
"Everyone...everyone's dead?" I looked towards Oni and she nodded blankly, though I could tell she was dancing with joy in the inside. I hung my head low as rage, hatred and sorrow was all I could feel, I snapped my head towards the lone figure and shouted, "Are you the one that killed my family?!" Silence... "Answer me!" I screamed as Oni held me back from charging towards the girl and as if she could finally hear me she inclined her head slowly towards me, her familiar looking scythe and medallion slowly starting to face me.
But before I could get a good glimpse of her face I was knocked out cold again.
Oni's P.O.V
I hit her as hard as I could again before she looked at her, "That was close!" I breathed out as the tension escaped my body. I turned towards the familiar figure and smiled, "The future is near...and so is Hell, this future will soon come true. All thanks to you..." And with that I sent us back to Lucy's dreamland.
Lucy's P.O.V
I opened my eyes groggily and after a couple of seconds my vision focused. "W-what happened? Oh wait, I remember now. But why does my head hurt?" My head was faced down on Oni's lap as she started to fix my hair, I stood up and looked around me again. "Why are we here? I thought we were still in the future."
"I can only hold the door to the future for so long and besides, I cannot reveal too much, or else the future will be re-written. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing I do not know..." Something inside of me told me that she was lying but I chose to go along with her plan, for now...
"Why...why does Celestia not like Laxus?" I looked at her straight in the eye and I saw her fake a sad smile on her face.
"Just promise me you won't cry, alright?" She whispered, "All you see here is the truth, I haven't tampered with it and how could I anyway. This is all destined to happen, all these events lead to the future you just witnessed, and that future is slowly upon us..."
I gulped, "Alright..."
"What I'm about to show you now is a horrible act of betrayal and dis-honesty. As you know Celestia and Hikari aren't that close, but, Hikari shares all the re-occurring future visions to Celestia and a specific one that Hikari had witnessed first happened a month prior to your...sudden...discovery..." She looked at me disgusted when she said the word "sudden" but I just shrugged it off and urged her to continue, "Anyway, here's what both of them saw..."
As she finished her short introduction speech, the same purply mist surrounded both of us and catapulted us towards the future in a dark and intimidating orb of purple.
We were in the Fairy Tail infirmary, the doorway open revealing Laxus and Lissana assorting the medicine and the medicinal herbs on the appropriate shelves, their backs facing each other. Lissana started to hum a song which caught Laxus's attention, he looked over to her briefly then resumed what he was doing. It escalated from then on, they kept stealing glances at each other and I couldn't help but remember something familiar that happened just like this. A dreading feeling pooled in the pit of my belly and soon it was confirmed. Mira looked in the infirmary and smiled, "Thanks for helping me Lissana, Laxus. When your finished stop by the bar and I'll give you a little treat ok?" She closed the door and the duo turned around to look at each other, Lissana stopped humming as Laxus came closer and suddenly, in the blink of an eye they started kissing.
Then I remembered, I remembered where I've seen this exact same thing before. It was in my dreams...did Hikari try to warn me before? Is this why Celestia hates him? Was the dream my first premonition? Despite me already seeing the scene before I couldn't help but to let a few tears stray down my face. This is all destined to happen, this will happen in the future. D-Does this mean...that Laxus likes Lissana? I felt as if my heart had stopped beating, and had now been turned into solid ice. I started to shake uncontrollably while hysterical sobs escaped my blood-red lips, I felt Oni caress my hair trying to comfort me.
"Don't worry little one. Remember, some things need to break to make way for better things. This is one of the many things you need to sacrifice, but I can release you from the pain that is yet to come. Let me guide you..." She held out her hand and for some and whatever reason, I felt tempted to take it. I stood up and wiped away the tears.
"Ok I get it, whatever you're saying is true. But that doesn't mean I can't change the future! I'll do whatever it takes to stop this from happening!" I shouted at her. She withdrew her outstretched hand and smiled, slyly.
"How do you know Laxus didn't want this to happen hm? He could've planned this. All of it, for all I know, it seems like he's enjoying Lissana..." She cackled and disappeared in the sudden darkness leaving me in the shadows, my heart beating ever so slowly at her last remark. What if he did like Lissana?
A bright white light shone down on me and instinctively I followed it. When I was engulfed in the warm light I didn't know that my eyes started to flutter open. My vision was hazy and blurred at first, but then it focused. The whole of Fairy Tail was in sight and I felt a warm hand gently squeeze mines, I look to the right to find Laxus smiling at me. But I couldn't look him in the eyes, I sat upright and rubbed my eyes only to be engulfed in a warm hug. "L-Laxus... I-"
"Don't do that ever again! You nearly gave me a heart-attack...don't you know how much it would hurt me if you've gone, left me here? Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you into telling me why we needed the lacrimas. I'm sorry, just...just don't do it ever again..." I hugged him back and buried my face in his chest. It had been a while since I've done this...
"How long was I out?"
"3 days Lu-chan. Your vitals kept increasing and just yesterday it suddenly stopped. We thought you were dead, your heartbeat didn't resume until after 5 minutes. Wendy couldn't have brought you back to life even though she tried and tried...We were all scared we were going to lose you Lu-chan..." Levy started crying and so I released Laxus from my hug and hugged Levy in his place.
"I-I'm sorry... I was being unreasonable. I kept attacking the trees, I didn't know that my magic was slow decreasing until it was too late. I even went on a dangerous mission when my magic wasn't fully restored. I wasn't careful, I forgot what would happen if I were to stray from Laxus too long. I'm sorry..." Levy hugged me back and let all the tears flow out.
After all the I'm sorry's it was decided that I should go get some fresh air. We all went for a picnic to the nearest wooded area that I had not destroyed. We all enjoyed the little sandwiches that Mira had prepared and thankfully she didn't bring with her some booze. Who knows what chaos would be caused thanks to Cana's favourite drink a.k.a. Her "boyfriend". After a while I excused myself from the picnic and wandered around alone. It gave me time to think about what Oni had shown me. I ran my hand through the bark of a tree and sighed sadly, "What if what he was feeling for me was just infatuation? Does that mean he regrets marking me?" I asked a little bird that landed on a branch just on top of me. "What if... I had taken Oni's hand and accepted her offer? Would I be dead?" A snarl rose from my throat as I smelt an intruder following me, I turned around and was caged inside someone's arms.
"What nonsense are you talking now? Something about being dead?" I froze then laughed it off awkwardly.
"I should teach you a lesson on spying and eavesdropping on me! But I'll let it go for now..." I tiptoed up and kissed his nose. "But, from now on. Respect my privacy." I gave him a warning glance and he smiled in response.
"As long as you don't hide too much from me, I want to be there by your side from now on. I want to protect you and be your dragon prince in scaly armour." He joked, but I knew he was serious. I laughed as his hands encircle my waist. "What do you say we ditch Fairy Tail and go to this carnival at Magnolia? I could win you something!" My face lit up immediately and I was soon hugging the lightning out of him.
"Yes! Yes Please!? Pretty Please Laxus?!" He laughed and ruffled my hair.
"Whatever you want my princess" Laxus lifted me (bridal style) and flew over there in the blink of an eye with his lightning. I felt like a child again once we reached our destination, my eyes lighting up in excitement. Laxus intertwined his fingers through mines as I dragged him to a little 'Test your strength' stand, the magic was measured by a little version of an MPF.
"Can you try and win me something from here Laxus?!" I asked him, bouncing up and down eagerly as he grinned at me.
"Anything for you my little Blondie, this should be easy." I grinned and purposefully ignored the little Blondie comment as he walked over to the stand and paid the man some jewels. He cracked his knuckles and a serious look appeared on his face. Uh-oh! I hope he doesn't go over-board! A huge Lightning bolt descended down onto the ground and hit the MPF directly, like a dart to a bullseye. Dust swirled and once it cleared a broken MPF was found on the dirt-filled ground. A bell rang repeatedly while the owner of the stand cheerfully cried something aloud.
"Winner winner! Please pick a prize from the top shelf!" I grinned as I showered Laxus with little butterfly kisses.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" I hopped behind the counter and grabbed a little Lion doll from the choices of; pig, baby snake and a miniature crocodile. I ran over to Laxus and gave him a bear hug, "So what do you want me to win you?" I asked him while squeezing the stuffing's out of my little Lion stuffed toy.
"Nothing. I brought you here so I can win you anything you want, I don't even want any prizes." He replied dragging me to another carnival stand. I pouted and dragged him to the opposite stand that read out; Walk through a path of burning hot coals and win a 100 jewel off of anything you buy in any of the shops in Magnolia!
"I'm going to win you this whether you like it or not!" I walked over to the carnival stand owner and paid him the required amount of jewels. At first he was quite hesitant to let me walk on the hot coals deeming us women as, "fragile" beings but I was soon to convince him with one of my many katanas, Cherry Blossom, right up in his face. I heard Laxus chuckle as I threatened the man but I simply ignored it and skipped over to the start of the path. I took a deep breath and uttered a quiet spell. "Liquid Body." I concentrated on my legs and soon my feet became a little transparent, though the change to my feet and legs could only be seen to a dragon slayer's eyes.
I walked on the burning hot coals painlessly as the owner of the stand watched me while sweating bullets. I hopped off of the coals and the spell was automatically cancelled. The owner came over to me and gave me the voucher with a look of both amazement and relief. I smiled at him and skipped happily towards Laxus. "Here you go" he grinned at me amused and took the voucher from my hands.
1 hour later...
The sun was beginning to set and me and Laxus came across the last ride of the day; the Ferris Wheel. We were slowly lifted up high into the blood red sky as I intertwined my fingers through Laxus's. His arms snaked around my neck and laid limp on my shoulder, I rested my head against his shoulder and we sat there in peace and in silence. The seat stopped at the top of the ride giving us a heightened view of Magnolia. The land was basked in a beautiful light making it all the more romantic. Laxus brought me closer to him and I looked up at his handsome face. A question escaped my lips unconsciously and I clasped a hand on my mouth as if to show that I didn't mean to ask him that.
"What did you say?" He asked me, I shook my head vigorously so he gently pried my hand from my mouth and placed his hand underneath my chin making me look straight into his mesmerising blue eyes. I sighed and repeated myself.
"I said, do you still love me?" His arms were quick to pull me into an embrace while his hands drew circles along my back.
"Why would you ask that? Of course I do! And I still would until the day I die..." The memory of what Oni said to me in my dreams came back to me. My eyes became watery and I couldn't care less that Laxus could smell my tears.
"So you wouldn't kiss another girl behind my back?" I asked him inaudibly. I didn't want to sound insecure but I couldn't help but to make sure.
"Of course not! I would never cheat on you! Besides, you're the only girl I see. If you died I would've killed myself just so I could be with you. Now can you please stop asking me stupid questions Blondie? It'll damage your reputation as the 'smart' little Lucy I know." He teased. I half-laughed and half-cried, and for some reason I decided to tell him why I was acting weird.
"Sorry, I just had a nightmare while I was knocked out. Nothing serious." I wiped the build-up of years in my eyes and gave a small smile. Laxus looked at me questioningly and so I explained a bit more. "Well, in the nightmare I saw you kissing some girl I couldn't recognise. So I thought you might've lost interest in me." I hung my head low but Laxus just laughed. I can't tell him the truth, he might think I don't trust him...
"Your the only one I ever think of. You're the only one in my mind, now lets just enjoy our time together before I have some things to do tomorrow... Ok?" I snuggled closer to him and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Wait, what do you mean? You said you had some thing's to do tomorrow, what exactly do you need to do?" I asked him anxiously.
"Nothing serious, just some paperwork I need to do for gramps. He's training me to become the next guild master, that's if Gildarts doesn't mind." He replied "I'll be gone for 2 whole days, but don't worry I'll still be in Magnolia and I'll spend the whole day with you on our 4th year anniversary."
I immediately slumped my shoulders, not feeling the romantic sensation anymore. "Oh."
"Please understand, this is important to me." I dredged up a smile and squeezed his hands gently.
"Don't worry, it's fine. You'll become a great guild master Laxus, you've just got to work with your social skills." I teased lightly. He smiled at me and just like that, the sunset didn't seem so bright anymore; like a blooming flower that had suddenly died.
The Ferris wheel slowly descended back down to earth and we got off silently. "Want to have a race to the guild?" I suggested from the awkward silence.
"Sure Blondie, just make sure you don't fall behind."
"Haha, I won't. You ready? Steady. Go!" Laxus ran to the guild leaving behind a trail of lightning and destruction, while I stood still, alone on the empty cobblestone street. I walked at a leisurely pace to the guild giving me all the time in the world to think. I looked up at the fire-lit sky and sighed. "And here I thought we would get some alone time together..."
Out of nowhere it started raining, my hair slowly became soaked and so did my clothes. I couldn't care less if some dirty old perv saw through my clothes, unless if it was Laxus.
I jogged all the way to the guild but before I entered I quickly dried myself with some of my flames. I pushed the heavy wooden doors open to see a worried-looking Mira running over to me. "Where were you Lucy? Everyone was worried sick!"
"Sorry Mira, Me and Laxus just decided to go to the carnival and while I was running up here I accidentally bumped into an old lady. I helped her up and carried her groceries to her house as a little favour." I replied back dully. She stiffened at the tone of my voice and eyed me. I could see my dull eyes reflecting in her own shocked orbs.
"Are you ok Lucy? You don't look good." I just shrugged.
"I'm fine, just a little tired. Anyway here's some presents for you guys! Laxus won these for me in the carnival. I opened up a storage portal and grabbed the big bag inside. I showed everyone all the stuffed toys and have everyone their own one. Erza, a knight in shining armour; Gray, a Ice dragon; Natsu, a Fire dragon; Happy, a fish; Carla, a stuffed Fairy wand; Pantherlily; a toy sword. Mira, stuffed hearts, Gajeel, an Iron Dragon; Wendy, a dragon that resembled Grandeeney and everyone else their stuffed toys that were somehow linked to them. The only toy left was a stuffed bouquet of flowers, I gave that to Laxus and he smiled at me.
"Arigato Lucy-san!" Romeo cheered, I gave him a smaller version of the Fire dragon that I gave Natsu and he seemed genuinely pleased about it. I looked over to the said Mage only to find him bashing his dragon against Gajeel's and Gray's own dragons. Baka's. I walked over to Erza and asked to see her doll, she handed it over to me curiously. I lifted its head armour as a cerulean-haired boy was found underneath, I took a red thread and started to sew Jellal's red tattoo on his face. Once I finished I gave it back to Erza and she smiled.
"Thanks you, Lucy." She looked at the little Jellal figure and hugged it close. He's definitely her knight in shining armour, or rather, she's his knight in shining armour.
Dusk fell and soon everyone retired back to their houses and apartments. I slowly got dressed in my pyjamas and climbed into bed, only to find Laxus not there. Disappointed I walked out side of Fairy Tail's guest bedroom and bumped into someone familiar.
"Mavis!" The beautiful girl looked at me and smiled.
"Now now Lucy, shouldn't you be in bed right now?" She asked me, her voice the sound of a peal of bells.
"Oh, I was just wondering where Laxus was. He wasn't in bed when I finished dressing up so that was a little odd."
"Oh. I'm sorry Lucy, Laxus is working and arranging something private tonight. So I'm afraid he won't be able to be joining you tonight..." She replied regretfully. "But he did ask me to give you this."
She handed me the stuffed bouquet I gave Laxus earlier and I hugged it close to my chest.
"I'm sorry Lucy, but we're training him to become a great guild master."
"I know. And I hope he will be, I'll be going back to sleep now. Thank you Mavis..." I slowly walked back in the room and flopped down on the bed. I don't like sleeping alone. It's true, I never slept alone until mama died. Natsu would always sneak into my bed every night and sleep with me, now I'm all alone. I shouldn't be relying always on Laxus, I need to be independent as well...
With that thought in mind I drifted into unconsciousness.
In Lucy's dreams/nightmares
Images. Horrible images flashed through my mind; Death, Violence, Bloodshed. They all look so familiar yet, they've never happened. The only destruction I had ever encountered was the destruction that Natsu brought on every single mission we did. I felt as if I've seen this scene before; flames rose higher and higher as the sound of screams of pain tore the air. In all of the chaos a lone figure stood. The same figure Oni showed me, I heard a baby crying in the midst of destruction and instantly I snapped into action. I searched for the baby everywhere and found its cries getting nearer and nearer until a big pile of rubble was in front of me. I clawed and dug in search for the baby but my hands didn't seem to even make the slabs of cement move.
I became hysterical to save the baby and started doing anything that could've moved the rubble. Nothing. I slumped down on the ground crying my eyes out. I can't save the baby, now it'll die because of me... I heard the crunch of dirt as the sound of footsteps came nearer, when I dared to look, a Scythe that looked exactly like mines descended down on me. I screamed and braced myself for the impact, but surprisingly it never came. All I felt was the rush of a ghost walking past me, but instead of a ghost; it was the scythe. I saw it puncture a blood-drenched stuffed toy and bring it to the lone girl.
I looked as tears fell from her eyes, she wiped the blood smeared onto the toy and what I saw gave me the shock of a lifetime. She held the blood-soaked stuffed bouquet that I had given Laxus. Is everyone going to die? Will Laxus die as well? Or are they already dead in this time? I was interrupted from my train of horrible thoughts as she uttered barely audible words.
"Laxus, this was all your fault. And partly mines as well..." She fell to the ground in tears while clutching the bouquet closer to her. I hesitantly walked over to her and tried to comfort her. I don't know if I should trust her, she might be the enemy but she needs help. I tried to hug her but I just fell through her. Oh! Is this another premonition? I stood up again and dusted off the imaginary dirt from my skirt. I sat beside her and started to talk.
"What's wrong?" Nothing. "Oh right yeah, you can't hear me. But this should be a great opportunity to get everything off my chest!
Well here goes. I know I might not know you and all, you could be the enemy for all I know. But, I always help someone, anyone, when they need it." At that moment I thought I was actually sent into the future because I could touch her, and she stiffened as she realised someone was touching her. Hell for all I know I could've been.. But how?
"I don't know what Laxus had done, I'm sorry but I'm not from this future world, I'm from the past. I don't know what's to come yet, and I hope it won't all lead to this. But, I'm sure whatever Laxus has done, that he's sorry for it. And he didn't mean it." I caught a whiff of her scent and I immediately recognised it. "I'm sure he loves you, I'm sure what happened was all a misunderstanding. Because for all I know, the Laxus I know, loves you, cares for you, and will do anything for you. Even if it meant Death. He'd go through all the pain, just so he can make you happy again, and no matter what happens, if you fight, fall out, get a divorce; that is if you get married, which I am hoping, or even for some reason and somehow you stop loving him. He will always love you, that's because," I hesitated, the girl slowly inclined her head towards me, her orbs locking with mines, only confirming my suspicions, " You're his one and only... Lucy."
