Where am i?

Everything is so dark blue…

I cried with hurtfull tears..

There sniffing and lowering my head

"Why are you crying?" someone voice was heared

"because everyone is going to go away….Mama,papa and my precious little sister, too…." I answered

"Your remembered" She patted my head softly

"Yeah….Im sorry, I"

"Don't apologize Im just happy that you remembered…"

"Michelle"

I smiled her with my red eyes… she smiled back…

"Lucy…" Lucy gasped and turned… it was her father smiling.. they were in garden full of roses while she was realized that it was a flashback.. showing..

"Do you like it, Lucy?" her mother asked with a big smile to her own daughter.. beside his husband..

Lucy was a child back then… her smile was big and cheerfull.. she raised a doll to her parents..

"Yeah.. it's the best birthday present ever!" Lucy answered cheerfully "Im gonna make this girl my little sister!" She continued her words

"Good! Be friends with her" Her mother, Layla said nicely

"What should I call her? I know! Maybe Gonzales?" lucy asked with tilting her head

"Oh, I think you should use cuter name.." Layla sweatdropped seeing her daughter…

The flashback was vanished in front of Lucy, lucy turned to michelle.
"I had so much fun back then…" Michelle spoke "in that big mansion..like a castle.." Michelle continued

"Nee-san, you made all kinds for me out of the paper and roses…we went everywhere together, and we smiled wherever we went..But…"

There was flashback were showing too… a flashback showing her mother funeral days… Everyone wore black clothes and left the father and child alone.. crying in front of the mother grave.. full of roses..

"I…. I was always in front of my mama graves, crying..i took it out on everyone and everything. I think I made everyone really worry about me.." Lucy said lowering her head when she saw herself crying

"all I could do is watch…it was hard for not doing anything.." Michelle mumbles

"wherenever I looked at you, I was reminded of Mama..and that became painfull…"

"That's right, you stopped talking to me altogether…"

"Eventually.. I,.."

The flashback vanished into another one showing a doll sitting in a chair with a rain poured from the sky.. Alone.."I see.. I left you behind."

"But you waited all the time for me to come back, didn't you?"

The flashback shows her Father, Jude… took michelle to the storage and put her in there.. Jude was standing in front of the doll.. closing a famly picture with a long white cloth..

There.. Jude eyes showing hurt and sadness.

"Im sorry, she didn't mean to abandon you…it's just that she's so sad now after losing her mother, she can't bear to see you or anything, really…I don't know how to talk to my daughter these days." Jude muttered and sighed

Lucy saw it and couldn't move an inch.

"someday… when she gets over her mother's death.. Will you become her little sister again?" Jude asked with a sad smile

Lucy started to tear up… her tears were down from her brown eyes and touched her cheeks..she started sniffing.

The flashback vanished and turn into another that shows Heartfillia mansion.

"I waited for years after that. The once lively mansion was now deathly quiet. Suddenly, everyone was gone" Michelle muttered

The flashback shows Michelle in the storage with many dusk and things…

"Because of my love to you.. I was given life, I started to live as Michelle lobster… and found out your lives, turns out that you were really happy. I cried and ran to lolz village, lost in the forest and founded by the wolf…"

"the wolf said I was bounded in darkness and having a feeling that called jealousy or Hatred, The wolf said that she was going to die and decided to give her powers to me.. I accepted it and found that the daughter of Lolz Mayor was dead. The mayor said that can I be a replacement, I said it with one condition : Help me, he gladly accept it"

The flashback shows Michelle working with Jude happily

"I ran to Uncle-Jude and helped with his works.. with a dream to go back, to go back those days that's what I felt…I heard a lot had happened between you and uncle…But.."

Flashback shows Jude was writing a letter and gift to Lucy

"Families are a mystery..No matter what happens, their feelings always keep them connected."

It changed to Jude was laying to a hospital bed with a pale face… Michelle was beside him holding his hands.. not wanting him to go yet..

"Im sure she's alive somewhere….i know she'll come back, so I want you to find her..alright?" Jude asked kindly

Michelle kneeled down

"Magic are a mystery and marvelous things aren't they? Next time for sure I want you to become her little sister again…." Jude muttered slowly and closed his eyes

Michelle went panicked and cried… covering her head with putting her head to the hospital bed beside Jude… crying loud..

Lucy couldn't help it but more tears fallen from her eyes, Lucy clenched her hands and teeth. Lucy started to knelt down and cried more

"Im sorry, Michelle. It must've been so hard on you…"

"you don't have to cry nee-san…It's okay"

xXx

I always love this word from Fairy Tail

"Families are a mystery..No matter what happens, their feelings always keep them connected."
