Hi there! Thanks for the new reviewers and followers and all the favourite! Last week I could not post the new chapter as my mother come to visit me at the place where I'm staying right now. For that, I'll post two chapters this week. Do wait for the next chapter on tomorrow or the day after.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail! Hiro Mashima does!
Warning: A lot of mistakes!
That night,
Lucy wakes up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Somehow, sleeping at unfamiliar place makes her feel uncomfortable. After a few moments, she decided to go out for some fresh air near the garden. As Lucy walk through the garden, she saw a big tree where she used to play with Mida when they were small. It also the place the first time she saw Mida. All the memories she go through when they were small are running on her head.
Flashback.
Lucy's pov
"Lucy, your father and I will go out of the town to settle some business okay. Can you be a good girl and stay here for a few days Lucy?" My mother asks me.
"I've always be a good girl mommy. But…" I could not lift my heads up. I feel sad and lonely without my family.
Then, my mother lifts my head facing her. "My dear, don't be sad. You have to remember that I'm always with you in your heart. Don't worry my dear, it's only for a few days. You're a strong girl right?"
"Yes I'm! Don't worry mom, I will always be strong even when you're not around. After all, I'm your good daughter!" I gave my mother my best smile. Yes, I'm not lying. Not even to myself. I'm proud to be my mother and father's daughter and I'm strong enough to take care of myself.
End of flashback.
"Lucy!"
Lucy turns her back looking at the person who called her. Then she sees Mida running with such a panic expression on her face.
"Mida! What's wrong? Why are you running? Did someone trying to hurt you?" Lucy asks with concern.
"You idiot!" Mida shouted.
"Ehh.. What?" Lucy ask, confused with sudden accusation.
"You left me again. You don't know how panic am I when I woke up and you're gone just like that. You.. you…" Before she could finish her sentence, she sits on the ground crying her hearts out.
"Hei Mida, as far as I know, you're such a cold hearted beauty who rarely cry. Don't cry okay."
"You're the one who cold hearted…. You don't even comfort me but scold me instead…. You're the one who makes me cry!" Mida argues while sobbing.
Lucy broke a smile and patted her friend's head. "There..there.. I'm sorry okay." Lucy hugs her gently.
Mida just nodded and hugs Lucy back.
After a few moment.
"Lucy, still remember the time when we play around the garden?" Mida asks
"Hmm.. yes.. I still remember the time I was lost when we're playing hide and seek. Ahh.. That's right.. That time you don't want to stop crying, seriously Mida, the way you cry never change." Lucy pinches her friend's nose playfully.
Mida slap Lucy's nose from pinching her nose harder. "N-no! Not that one Lucy. It about the time…."
Flashback
"Lucy. Let's play hide and seek in the forest near the garden. I assure you it is safe." Mida tugged Lucy's shirt.
"But Mida, your parents will be really worried, furthermore, my mother said that we have to leave in 2 hours." Lucy explained worried that Mida will be mad at her.
"We can play a quick game of hide and seek. I promise you, it won't take long before I can catch you, Lucy!" Mida challenged.
"Alright. Now I will go there and hide, okay? I'm sure you won't find me easily!" Lucy said while running towards the forest.
"Ok! 1,2,3…10! Ready or not, here I come!' Mida started to run and search for her.
Mida's pov
Hmm. I wonder where she is. I ran through the forest silently so that she won't notice me. Then I see something shining deep inside the forest. Unconsciously, I moves towards that direction and forgot about finding Lucy. I saw 2 men fighting with each other. Then one of them collapses to the bare ground. I am afraid and tried to run away from there but the man found me and prevent me from running.
"Look what I have here, a lost little lamb. I don't think I will let you escape dear. I am still thirsty of blood. I can't stop killing!" the man looks like he is being possesses. He swings his sword to slash me. I close my eyes and wait for the sword touch my skin but nothing. However, during the time, I hear someone call my name.
Yeah. It is Lucy. She calls me and stand in front of me taking the hit. The sword slashes her right shoulders until her left hand. It was a long cut and a lot of blood oozing out from her wound. What shocked me the most is when she turns her head to me and ask about my condition before losing her consciousness. The man laughs at us and tried to hit her again but stopped by crab man. A spirit named Cancer. That is when I realize that Lucy's mom comes to save us.
End of flashback
"Don't try to bring up that matter okay Mida. Thanks to you and your mother's doctor, there are no scars at all!" Lucy shows her shoulders and her wide grin rivaled Natsu's.
"Are you trying to make me fall in love with you Lucy? Believe me when I say any men who stick with you even for 1 day could fall in love with you. That include your Mr. Dragon slayer Lucy~~" Mida pinches Lucy's cheek while giggling. (She knows about Natsu because Lucy tell her about him when they are chit-chatting earlier.)
Lucy could not hide her embarrassment. Her face turns red as tomato and yelled "Mida! Don't make fun of me!" She chases Mida playfully. Suddenly, Mida stops and says. "Lucy! I forgot! I have something for you!"
Lucy bumps at Mida's back. "What? Don't just stop without warning Mida!"
Mida search inside her pajama's pocket and hold out 2 silver keys. "AHAHA.. Sorry… Here, take it."
"Wait a minutes, I can't just take it for free. It is for anyone who completes your request right?"
"Silly Lucy. You can be dumb if you want to you know. This… is.. for.. you Lucy Heartfilia."
"Ehh.. how come? Wait.. I'm not silly!" Lucy pouted.
"Listen here. You know why I send the request to Sabertooth and Fairy Tail?" Mida asks
Lucy shakes her head. "Nope.. I don't have any idea why. I don't even know you send the same request to two different guilds."
"Since the event of Grand Magic Game, I heard the town talk about famous stellar spirit mage from Fairy Tail and Sabertooth. After I knew about that, I guess that you might be one of them. I just gamble my luck to find you through this quest and yeah.. You've come. I wanted to give these keys to you."
"But Mida, what if Yukino that come instead of me? What will you do?"
"Who is Yukino?"
"The other stellar spirit mage from Sabertooth. She is one of my friends too!"
"Oh.. If she has come, I'll give her other silver keys. These two keys are the keys that I got from mysterious old man who claimed that these keys are powerful. I met this old man when I travelled to other town two years ago. He said, only the one who have pure heart and power could summon the spirit. I don't know much about him, he just asked me if I knew someone who is a stellar spirit mage. He said that one day I would come across powerful spirit mage that could save me and other people."
"Mida… I'm not strong or even have pure heart. What makes you think I'm the person he described? I'm not even close to what he said Mida."
Mida put her hand on Lucy's shoulder. "Lucy, please take it. I just know you're the one he said. And if what he said is true that only powerful and pure hearted stellar spirit mage could summon the spirit, and if you're not the one, I give you the permission to give these keys to your friend, Yukino. For now, just keep it."
Lucy could not utter a single word. She just nodded. Although she really wanted to be the new spirit's friend, she is afraid that she is not worth for the spirit. She accepts the keys and examines it. One of them have a silver base with a red sword decorated on the key while the other one have silver base, decorated with blue sword.
"Let's get inside okay Lucy. We've to set out early."
