"I went to train. I couldn't be here at that moment so I went off to train, and become a stronger mage."
"And apparently that's not the only thing you've come back with." Bisca observed pointing to my hands.
"Oh, you mean little Emily? Yeah this is my 3 month old daughter" I proclaimed with a smile, staring at the sleeping girl in my arms.
General Population
The entire guild was stunned into shocked silence, as they stared at Lucy holding the small child. It was Bisca that broke the silence.
"T-that's wonderful Lucy!" She said given her friend a smile. Lucy in turn gave Bisca a smile, whitest noticing that she was holding hands with Alzack. She raised an eye brow at this. "Hmm?" Bisca followed Lucy's gave to her hands, "Oh that yes. Well Alzack and I got married." A deep blush crept on both Bisca's and Alzack's cheeks.
"That's wonderful Bisca."
"Oh thank you Lucy. Could I ask who's your husband?" Seemed innocent enough till Lucy's face turned into disgust.
"I'm not married." She said bluntly.
"Oh then who's E-Emily's farther?" Macao stutter. Lucy sat in the corner a dark aura surrounding her.
"I don't want to talk about it." She muttered cradling Emily.
"T-that's alright, umm why are you back now?"
"Oh well I've finished training and thought I'd come home. I'm still a member of fairy tail you know." Lucy, who had recovered from her depression just a second ago, held up her right hand, showing off the pink fairy tail mark. "See?"
"Well it's good to have you back Nee-Chan!" Romeo said again.
"It's good to be back." A grin spared across her face.
Lucy's P.O.V~
"So how'd you become master, Macao?" I asked ordering water from Kinana.
"Uhh, well we needed a guild master, and i was the best suited, so I kinda filled in heh" He said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeah right, I would have been a better master, Macao" Wakaba teased.
"I told you to call me Master!"
"I'm not calling you master"
"Why you little." I brawl began. I sighed, Fairy tail never changes.
"Do they always do that?" I asked Romeo who was staring at Emily.
"Sometimes. She's cute you know."
"Yeah I do." I looked down at my sleeping angel. She had just started gowning hair, and it was a soft brown, her eyes where closed at the moment, as she dozed silently, but when she opened them they were a deep brown just like mine. I'm happy she didn't resemble her farther. That would have been painful.
"Anyway look at you! All grown up, with your fancy guild mark" I smirked as he went a slight red.
"Y-yeah dad let me join" He gave me a small smile.
"What kind of magic do you use?" I asked as Emily shifted a little.
"Fire magic, like my dad" He looked around before whispered in into my ear. "Don't tell him but I'm taking Totomaru magic class."
"That guy from the Element 4?"
"Yeah, he teaches magic now" a grin spread a crossed Romeo.
"Heh, sounds about right. Any way I should get going." I stood up only to hear protests of not wanting me to leave. "Calm down, I have to go find a place to stay, don't I?" The guild settled down a little.
"Hey Lucy, if I could make a suggestion, there's a place not far from here, just at the bottom of the hill. A bit run down. But it's 3 bedrooms. Might want to check it out" Bisca called over to me.
"Thanks Bisca I will."
Turned out Bisca was right. It was run down. I sighed as I held the paper work, it had cost me 250,000 jewels to buy, but it was a steal since I now owned it and, wouldn't have to pay any rent. But there was still bills to pay, and food to buy and I'm completely out of cash.
If only her farther new about her. Then I might be able to leave her with him for a short amount of time as I went off on missions. I sighed cradling Emily in one hand while I put the deed in my pocket. I was going to have to go on a job, but with Emily I had no idea what to do.
As I walked back to the guild hall an idea struck me. Why don't I ask someone from the guild to baby sit for me. Maybe Bisca, since she might be a mum one day.
I opened the guild door and walked over to the request board.
"Hey Lucy how's the house hunting going?" Bisca asked coming up to me.
"I bought the house you told me about, but I'm out of money now, so I have to take a job. Only problem is what should I do with Emily while I'm gone?" I sighed.
"Why don't you get someone to baby sit?"
"Who?"
She gulped and smiled, "Well, Lucy I'm, well, I'm pregnant!" I was shocked.
"Oh Bisca that's wonderful!" I gave her a whole hearted smile, 'Yeah wonderful till you go into labour, or start having morning sickness.'
"Yeah I know, and I was wondering if you might give me some tips on well, pregnancy."
"I'd love to. But in return could you baby sit Emily while I'm on a mission?"
"I'd love to!" She smiled and we took a seat. I went on to tell her about my first trimester of pregnancy and what to expect (Yeah I have no idea about pregnancy so I'm skipping this)
"Thank you Lucy, that will be a big help." Bisca said as I handed over Emily.
"Not as big as this, thank you Bisca. I might be able to get some money and fix up my new house."
"I'm happy to help Lucy" Bisca smiled down at Emily while I walked back over to the request board to find a job. Nab was standing in front of the request board looking for a job that only he could do.
"Are you ever going to do a job Nab?" I asked scanning the board for something.
"Yes, when I find the right job."
" You've been looking for ages, just choose something already" really how long did it take to just choose a job?
"Humph" That ended out conversation.
I found a relatively high paying job. It was to find and arrest a dark guild that had been terrorizing a town not too far from here. I grabbed it and walked over to Macao.
"Are you sure Lucy? This seems like a hard job. Especially for just one person" He read over the request, worry lines forming.
"It's fine master. You don't know what I can do now" I gave him a reassuring smile.
He sighed and approved it. "Oh and one more thing Lucy."
"Yes master?"
"Loke went to Tenrou Island, right?" Oh crap.
"Yes" I was hesitant where was this going?
"Did he ever come back?"
"He did. He ran out of magic energy. So he was forced back into the spirit world. Why?"
"No reason" Macao went back to drinking his beer.
"Alright. See you in a few days" I walked out the guild heading for the train station, grabbing a train to the village, Hoshi.
Hoshi was beautiful, just like its name. I arrived in the setting hours, and the whole town shone like a star. My employer was the mayor. She was offering 150,000 jewels for the arrest of the entire guild. Simple really.
As I walked the town looking for the town hall, where the mayor was I felt a slight prick. I looked down to see flower thorn in my hand. A bit of blood welling up. I sighed pulling out the thorn. I looked at the blood and saw it turn gold, and shimmer about to disappear. My new magic was really beautiful.
I looked around a little more and saw an old building that could only be the town hall. It was by far the largest build, and had beautiful flowers growing in front. The door was made of oak and had carves in it. I pushed it open and stepped into a beautifully lit room.
At them back a woman in a knee high black dress was reading over something. She had black hair pulled back into a bun, with 2 strands escaping framing her face. She had glasses on her face, with a star in the corner. As I approached she looked up.
"Who are you?" she asked bluntly. Alright then.
"My name is Lucy, I'm here about the dark guild" Her face lit up.
"Finally someone accepted. That's been there for a month now. Things haven only gotten worse."
"I'm sorry no took it on sooner. Could you give me the details about them?"
"Yeah of course, here take a seat…" She went on to tell me how they had started off only stealing a few things, nothing to bad and then they'd gone on to robbing shops, and finally the worst thing, was when some of the members killed a family and had raped and kidnapped a 14 year old girl and her little sister, who was 7. That was sick, totally revolting. After that the mayor had taken action sending out the request to some guilds. Apparently no one wanted to take it on though.
"Don't worry miss, when I'm done I doubt the guild hall will be standing" I smiled as a stood up.
"Thank you young lady. You have no idea how much this means to our town. The guild base is some were in the west woods. That's all we know."
"It's alright, I'll sniff them out" I flicked my nose. A confused expression crossed her face. "A joke miss. But I will find them, good day." I took my leave after that. Heading west.
While my nose couldn't really sniff out the guild, I did have a spirit that could.
"Open gate of the Canis Minor
Nikora!"
I opened the gate to the little doggy Plue.
"Puuue pue~!" He wobbled.
"Hi Plue. I need a favor. Can you sniff out this dark guild in these area? Please"
"Pue pue!" he went about sniffing the area till he caught the sent and went of running in that direction. Within an hour we had found the guild.
"Thanks Plue" I closed his gate and hid my keys. Putting on a dumb face I walked out.
"Hey you girly what are you doing here?" Yelled a man who just so happened to be in the area. I looked on his leg and saw a dark guild symbol.
"I'm sorry mister. I was chasing my dog and got lost. Where am I?" I love acting.
A grin spread across the man's face. "Your safe now girl, come in. We'll get you something to eat, and show you the way back" Yeah like that's going to happen.
"Alright!" I smiled sweetly following him in.
The guild hall, like many dark guilds, was shitty. Dark colors surrounded it. And a sinister vibe emitted from it. As I followed the man in, he led me to what I assume is the main hall, for most of the members where gathered there.
"Bico, what have you bought with you?" an old man, who was most likely the guild master called with a dark smile on his face. He was staring at my chest. Ew.
"This little pixie was lost. So I offered her some food" A harsh laugh went up from the guild. I guess 'food' was code for something.
"Hell yeah we'll feed her!" I head a member call out from some were. My instances told me to bash every single one of them, but not yet. Something was wrong.
"Come here sweet heart" The guild master called. I nervously climbed the stair to where he was sitting. "My, my aren't you a fine piece of work- WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" He raged looking at my Fairy tail emblem. Shit I forgot to cover it up. That's what was wrong.
Sigh "I was hoping to find out where the girls were first. All well, I'll just beat it out of you" I hit my fist into my hand.
"You bought an official guild member here!" The guild master raged at 'Bico'. He stared at me with cruel eyes. "Little girl I doubt you could beat the whole guild" He scoffed. Wait, did he just call me a little girl? Oh hell no.
"I am going to kick your ass old man" I hissed, sending my fist into his face, catching him off guard.
"Gah! Bitch you are so dead!"
"Try it fuck face!" I seethed. Members of the guild started coming at me
"Open Gate of the lion
Leo!"
Loke appear next to me in a fighting stance.
"Princess, as lovely as always."
"Not the time Loke. Now is the time to beat the living shit out of these guys."
"All right, you take the ones on the right, I'll take the ones on the left" he mocked starting at the guild.
"Not a bad idea."
"Wait what? I was joking!" Too late for that, I had flung myself into the fight, kicking and punching anyone who got to close. But after a few minutes of this, I felt someone grab me. He had crazy strength. His hand was on my breast.
"Not cool man!" I roared, breaking his hold.
"Star light!"
I yelled. A golden light shone from me, badly injuring everyone who it touched, apart from Loke, of course. Even the building started to crumble; the placed has been infected with darkness itself. When it faded I was on the ground panting.
"Princess, I swear, your Star magic is beautiful" Loke said helping me up.
"Thanks Loke. Now we got to find the girls who were kidnapped" I stared down at Bico. After slapping him for a while he woke up. "Alright man, your choice. You can tell me where the girl you kidnapped is now, or you can tell me after"
"A-after what?" I gave him the same smile he'd given me earlier. A dark one.
"You want to find out?"
"No-no. Please leave us alone" He whimpered. "The kid is in the basement" Pathetic.
"And her older sister?"
"We killed her already."
"Come on Loke" I stood up dropping Bico. But before I left I sent a kick to his stomach, knocking him out again.
As we walked down to the basement I could hear a girl weeping. I looked around and spotted a girl with messy brown hair, ripped cloths and bruises on her, weeping in the corner.
"P-please leave me today, just for one day" She begged, mistaken me for the guild.
"Sweetie I'm not her to hurt you. I'm from Fairy tail. I'm here to help" I walked over pulling a knife from my boot, and cutting the rope used to restrain her. "Loke can you carry her?"
"Yeah, of course" He bent down and ever so gently picked her up. She started to cry again. What had they done to her?
We walked back to the town in silence, apart from the girl crying.
"So you defeated them already?" The mayor asked. The girl, who's name was Nina, was holding on to me. She had refused to let go the whole time.
"Yeah, I can show you the royal guard the way if you like?"
"That would be greatly apr-"
"Don't leave me" Nina whispered. My heat started crying.
"It's okay sweetie. You're safe now. We'll find your relatives and-"
"I'm afraid the girl has not family. She'll end up in an orphanage" The mayor said staring sadly at Nina.
"Oh" I whispered.
"I don't want to go to an orphanage" Nina cried.
"I'm sorry child, but your family had not next of kin."
"Please Lucy, don't leave me alone" She begged crying into my shirt. I thought for a moment. I already had a kid. Could I take care of another? I sighed out loud.
"Nina, please don't try and guilt this woman into taking care of you. She doesn't want kids" The mayor snapped making Nina cringe. I sighed once more.
"No Mayor it's alright. I have my own daughter. She just turned 3 months a week ago. Nina come here" I opened my arms and gave her a hug. "I'll make you a deal. I'll take you in, but in turn I never want to see you cry" I whispered into her ear.
"I promise Lucy" She whispered back. What had I just gotten myself into?
"Well truth is that went off with a hitch." I smiled at my new adopted daughter. She gave me a sad smile. I sighed.
"Nina what's wrong?"
"How am I never to cry again?" She asked innocently.
"You'll learn magic. You'll become a fairy tail member. And have a family that will be there whenever you need."
"Lucy. Why'd you take me in? Did you feel sorry for me?"
"A little. But truth is you have something, I can't place. I think you're a true Fairy at heart. And I'm sure the guild will accept you" I smiled given her a hug as we took our seats in the train.
"Lucy, how am I going to learn magic?" Hmm. Good question. I'd learned from my mother. So teaching was new to me.
"Well I guess a magic school. Or books. And I know a lot of mages, maybe they'll teach you" She sat on my lap snuggling into me.
"You said you have a daughter right? What's her name?" She yawned almost asleep.
"Emily Reaper Heart" I answered as she fell asleep in my arms.
