And one vote for Jerall. Come on, guys I thought you'd vote more. Disappointed Musical. Well…uhh… Thanks for the current reviews at least. And Enjoy today's chapter. I'll update this hopefully next week. I have Finals in about a week. Cross my fingers and hope not to die. Hopefully my writing isn't confusing. If it is just say so in a review. It wont hurt my feelings too much. Sorry if this chapter sucks too FYI.
It has been almost about 2 weeks since I've at the Asylum. Weather has been alright. During the past few days, I always stuck to Natsu, Gray, and Erza. Occasionally Loke and the spirits came out to talk and help me get out of the loneliness when the others aren't around. Horologium finally came out and told me new stories. He still remembered my favorite one. Alice in Wonderland. Somehow I always enjoyed the unique story that revolves around it. Sometimes I imagine myself as Alice. Aries brought along Virgo and introduced me to her. Although she wasn't the best person to introduce me to her friends, I still smiled at the fact she did her best. I've already determined that his Asylum gave me more attention that what my father did despite my horrid examination periods and awkward situations my "new" friends gave me.
Today, I decided to ask the owner Makarov for something. It was almost the afternoon and I walked up to his office and knocked.
"Enter." I heard it faintly behind the door. So I opened it slightly and slowly walked in. The "Master" of the Asylum showed a wide smile when he noticed me coming into his office.
I still felt nervous around the higher ups and doctors. After all I get examined almost every day by Mirajane. Some examinations where better than others, I didn't mind stuff like physical exams. You know, like what normal doctors would give people once every few months. Well except for me I get it once every few days along. Mental checkups are mandatory every few days as well.
"Lucy! What a pleasant surprise. How are things doing? What do you need?" Makarov asked in a friendly way. To me, I'm kind of surprised. Although I acted shyly, I gathered all the courage I could to ask my little request.
"This are going well…I guess. I made lots of new friends. Natsu and Gray and Erza tend to hang around me now." I told him quietly. He nodded showing he understood and listened to me.
I continued. "This place isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Really. Sometimes I feel a little homesick since I'm not really used to the whole white cushions around my entire room and very weird people always around me.
But Mister Makarov…Do you have some paper and a few pens? A Journal would be better really. I like to write a lot you see, and back home I wrote as a past time. Even written an incomplete novel and I'd like to continue it. Along with various other things to write about." I bluntly asked as well.
Makarov listened to every detail. He said "Sure Lucy. I can call up a medical assistant to order you a few stacks of paper, journals, pens and even pencils. Just as long as you don't use them as knives and or stab anyone with it. I'll gladly give it to you." The last part he said, I raised my eyebrow. But Makarov just kept smiling and even pointed his index finger up in the air with thumb out. I looked at him. He is indeed strange. But I guess nice. Weird how Natsu says he is cruel and ruthless. I better not disobey though. It might help me get out of here sooner if I just follow the rules.
"They should be delivered to your room in a few days rest assured." He said.
"Thank you so much Mister Makarov." I nodded and left him to his work.
As soon as I left it been about an hour or so. I felt a little bit hungry and ate a bit at the cafeteria. Then headed off somewhere I'm not sure where really. I ended up wandering around the place. I went upstairs, downstairs, around the halls, into the library, around the gardens, then and back into my room. A few hours have past then. After dinner things started to get crazy.
I heard a loud bang cross the hall and what sounds like Erza yelling and or scolding god knows how. I didn't feel like getting close to an angry bipolar psychopath, but curiously killed the cat. I checked it out, peaked behind a corner of a hallway. I noticed 4 men. One with dark black hair, dark skin, and brown eyes. Another was blonde, dark green eyes, he was fairly short, looked about age 14 or so. The third person had light brown hair, and very dark brown eyes, he seemed to be around the same age as me. The fourth person was rather….odd. Hard to explain. Quite the large figure uhhh, orange hair, sort of like Loke's but he had quite a large head and odd face. He seemed to irritate Erza the most. Odd I smelt something rather strong and flowery. Like Perfume. I cringed because it was so strong.
"GET AWAY FROM ME ICHIYA." Erza screamed. The three other boys seemed to only stare and watch they took a step back.
"But Erza you smell so nice, like roses and your hair looks like the color of brightest roses." This guy named "Ichiya" says. Erza seemed to had enough and punched him with a strength no girl should have. I walked up to her with caution.
"What now?!" She screeched.
"Uh.. Hi Erza." I didn't know what to say. But that's how I greeted her.
She looked like she was about to kill someone. I hoped I can calm her day. The three boys who are now in front of us, were just standing there. They did look back at this "Ichiya" guy, then looked at us again. They stared at me the most then suddenly I found myself sitting on a red couch. I had so many questions in my head. Like HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SITTING AND HOW THIS COUCH CAME FROM THIN AIR?!
"So who are they Erza?" I asked in hopes to lighten the mood. But they simply stared and I thought I saw sparkles coming from there. They interrupted Erza and introduced themselves instead.
"I'm Hibiki Lates, a pleasure" The one with dark brown hair said and winked.
"Ren Akatsuki." The one with black hair said quietly. Almost mysteriously.
"Eve Tearm" The short blonde hair guy said.
Erza however didn't seem to like either of them. But she seemed calmer when the orange haired guy wasn't here.
"Who might you be?" All three boys asked in unionization.
"Lucy Heartfilia" I said slyly.
I whispered to Erza, "Who are they really Erza and you don't look happy to see them at all, and how did this couch get here?!"
Erza explained to me they are womanizers. I did notice their looks, and they did seem to have it. Girls would fall head over heels for them. I mentally face-palmed myself. Somehow when I think womanizer, I think sexual harasser. These three boys seemed so young, except the orange haired one. Erza explained that Ichiya annoys her the most. The other three are nice. Just they are annoying how they flirt with any women and are very narcissistic. Well I can see why this group can annoy Erza. Even I'm getting annoyed by their constant flirting movements.
"You look like an angel with that golden hair of yours. So straight like golden threads. " Hibiki says.
The other two poured a glass of red wine and gave them to Erza and I. I immediately placed the glass on a table. God knows where that came from as well. I sighed and as if on cue, Natsu and Gray came running and punched the three guys.
"What the hell Blue Pegasus Host Club, those are our friends!" Natsu yells.
Gray just stood coolly and quietly while Natsu ranted off. The name host club was unfortunately fitting to see the situation I'm in with Erza. Ichiya regained consciousness from being flow from Erza's punch. And started to pester me and Erza all together, the smell of perfume was strong and gave me a headache. Natsu kicked him in the face and he flew again.
IM not sure what to call it but it seems like a friendly argument and rivalry? I questioned it and people's relationships with each other. It was getting late outside. Time flew by a lot. Hopefully my questions would be answered soon. But I get this weird feeling something is watching me from a distance. I look around from where I sat and saw nothing there. It didn't feel like a spirit. I saw Loke however moments later. Well not exactly moments but rather few hours later after this how fresco happened. I got up looked out the window and around the halls. I let Natsu, Gray and Erza argue for a while longer. Then bid them good night and head back into my room. I noticed a few stacks of paper on my metal desk. There was a note there as well.
Dear Lucy,
There is some paper I found in the office. Till the order goes through about your journals and pens, you can use this for now. Hopefully it's enough.
Makarov, Master of the Asylum.
I smiled a bit. Sat down and wrote some entrees for my story, and diary. I already used about 5 pages and was quite surprised. I yawned a bit and decided I should get some rest. Before I tucked myself to bed, Loke came to talk to me. He laughed at this "Asylum host club" I told him it reminded me of him and his flirtatious ways. I closed my eyes. I thought about…
Asylum Host Club? What a weird group of people. Then again this whole place is full of psychopaths. Mama, is heaven as weird as this place? I wonder if I can leave this place with no regrets on leaving my new friends. Well I still have my spirit friends, but it's nice to have physical friends. I just smiled to myself and left my consciousness.
