Hiya! Imma back! :3 so did you think that chapter 2 was kinda short? Should I make longer chapters? DX I won't know what to do if you don't tell me, so leave a review!
Cold….so cold… "S-s-s-o c-c-c-cold!" stuttered the freezing blonde. "F-f-uck… where am I?"She mumbled to herself looking at the leafy green trees. "I remember…" her milky brown orbs widened at the realization of the past events. "Mom… I won't let you down!" she whispered to herself. She abruptly stood up, ignoring her aching head and bones. "How long was I out?" she shivered. She looked at her surroundings. Definitely the woods… but which one? She scrunched her eyebrows, releasing a stress filled sigh. Then she noticed a black bird that seemed to have weird wings and feet. She gasped at horror and realization. Instead of wings, they were black humanhands and human feet as its own. Disgusting! She shivered under its intense stare. W-what the hell? What does it want… oh no… she gulped in realization. This was the Stealer bird. This bird was only found in the east of Mongolia, all the way near the edge, in the Reapers Wood. REAPERS WOODS! WHAT THE FUCKIN HELL AM I DOING HERE! She mentally cried to herself. But then she remembered the Stealer. The stealer had a unique trait, it was able to steal anything from anything if it managed to get a hold of, and managed to kill. It cocked its head before giving off a very human smile. She screamed and ran. The sound of heavy flapping soon followed. "HELP ME! SOMEONE! A FUCKIN STEALER IS GONNA EAT ME! HELP ME!" she screamed. The bird only crowed in return. She screamed again and ran faster. For a pair of hands and feet, that thing was pretty fast. "SOMEONE HELP ME!" She howled. The sound of a croaking frog was heard directly after. Poor froggy… she thought with slight pity. "HELP MEE!" she tried desperately. But of course she had to trip over her clumsy feet. Her face met the dirt with a squeal of surprise from the blonde. She groaned before desperately trying to get back to get back up. She flipped onto her back and tried to crawl away on her elbows. She grabbed at her keys at her waist. "I summon the, Loke!" a bright light glowed and appeared a man with an orange hair with dark glasses. Before he could speak he was gone with a poof. "DAMNIT! WHY!" Lucy fumed. The bird now landed, cocked it head at her curiously before licking its beak with a long pink tongue. Birds don't have tongues… "NATSUUUUU!" She screamed with the loudest voice she ever used. Before the bird could even move a single step closer to the screaming girl it fell on the floor, dead with a slit across its throat. Lucy stopped screaming and looked at the dead bird with shock. W-w-what the?! Who did that?! She quickly looked around her.
"My, my… looks like Layla was right, you really do need help. Well let's just say it isn't going to be fun." A voice cackled close by. Lucy's eyes shot up, wide with fear.
"W-who are you! What do you want? How do you know my mother?!" she shouted.
"Why, someone has a lot of questions don't they." A black figure appeared after the voice. Lucy gasped in shock, this was a human! Wait… he was kinda hairy for a human and since when did humans have a tail, OR DOG EARS?
"What are you?" she blurted out without thought. The creature looked at her.
"That's quite rude isn't it, considering I'll have to deal with you for another 3 years…" he said while picking at his long sharp nails.
"What?! Why do you have a tail and dog ears? 3 years?! Who said that! And you still didn't answer my question about my mom!" she screamed, now very frustrated. The dog guy winced at her loud voice.
"Oh shut up for a second! And these aren't dog ears for your information! These are wolf ears!" he growled, pride in his words. Wolf? Wolf… WOLF!
"N-n-n-no way! It can't be! You can't be…" she started but soon stopped from the shock.
"Yes my deary, I am the rare and legendary Shadow Wolf, Crescent and I will be teaching you, Lucy Heartfilia the ancient arts of Wolf Slaying." He stated, pride dripping with each word.
Back in Fairy Tail…
"Hey Happy, is Natsu coming anytime soon?" the white haired beauty Mirajane asked the blue flying exceed.
"Aye…"he said with a shaking head. "He said he wanted to stay at Lucy's for a little more…" the tone worry showing. Mira's blue eyes closed as she shook her head.
"Happy, it's been a week already, he shouldn't be cooped at Lucy's old apartment, did he even eat anything this whole week?!" she said with worry in each word.
"Aye, he did eat! I gave him fish and he ate it!" Happy said. Mirajane sighed.
"I know that Lucy's death is harsh but he shouldn't but he shouldn't kill himself over her, he couldn't do anything about it." She stated softly. The blue eyed girl remembered that day very well. Erza, Gray, Lisanna and Natsu coming through the guild doors all bloody and injured, and without Lucy. The guild all cried and stood shocked as Erza announced the death of their blonde friend before breaking down into tears herself. Gray even started crying. Natsu just stood there, quiet and silent.
Flashback
"What are you guys saying… she's not dead! She just away! She's gonna come back! She's gonna come back! She promised me!" she shouted.
"Face it flame brain! She's gone! She died for us! She died for you! She's dead!" Gray shouted at his face.
"NO! SHE'S NOT DEAD! STOP SAYING THAT! SHE'LL COME BACK! SHE PROMISED!" he shouted tears threatening to fall from his black orbs.
"You don't get it Natsu! She won't come back! She's DEAD!" he roared punching him along with his harsh words. Natsu stood motionless.
"No, you don't get it Gray, she promised, she promised she wouldn't leave me, she promised she would come back, she doesn't break promises Gray! SHE'S COMING BACK GRAY! SHE PROMISED SHE'LL COME BACK! SHE PROMISED!" he said tears now streaming his face. "SHE PROMISED!" he roared before collapsing to the floor. Mirajane just stood there tears pouring out of her eyes and hand covering her mouth to covering her cracked wail of sadness. She ran to Lisanna and embraced her in a hug. Lisanna just sobbed into her pink dress and wailed, "She took the blame Mira! When I made a mistake she saved my ass and took the blame! If I was just careful enough we would have caught the man and she wouldn't have been in trouble and we could have all been here, having a good time and laughing! It's all my fault!" she cried repeating. Erza looked at her shocked before walking up to her and putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"It wasn't your fault. It was her fate." She whispered in Lisanna's ear. Natsu just stopped listening to us and ran out the guild's door.
And that was the last time anyone but Happy had seen Natsu, he didn't even come to the funeral. Mirajane sighed again, desperately wishing for the blonde to just walk in the guild doors saying this was a joke.
"I'm not killing myself Mira, I just needed time." Mumbled a distant voice. Mira looked up, surprised to find the pink haired boy looking at her with a half hearted smile. She smiled a sad smile at him.
"I know Natsu… Don't worry… We're here too… We all miss her…" she smiled, now close to tears. He tried to smile but it came out as a grimace.
"Can you give me something strong?" he asked politely. Mira looked at him surprised.
"Are you sure? You better not ask for too much… I don't want to deal with a drunk Natsu…" she said with a giggle. Natsu just nodded with a small smile.
"Don't worry Mira, one would be just fine." He sat down on Lucy's stool and ducked his head into the crook of his arm. Come back Luce. We all need you. Come back soon you weirdo…
Back with Lucy…
"WHAT! NO WAY! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS ALL JUST A DREAM AND IM GONNA JUST WAKE UP AND BE OK!" Lucy shouted hysterically, arms flailing. Tick marks appeared on Crescent's temples.
"OY! SHUT UP BLONDIE! Your getting on my nerves… and you need to do this. The sooner you finish this then the quicker you can go back to see this Natsu of your and I get to sleep around all day." He said with a distant look in his eyes. Lucy just brushed him off.
"What do you know about me and my mom?" she demanded. He smirked.
"I knew your mom since you were born. I even met you when you were a baby. You just don't remember. You were much more calmer and not that much of a mess as you are but I still have to deal with you… your mother and I were good friends, I met her while she was on a mission, she was a brilliant mage, I hope you carried on her trait." He snorted on the last comment. Lucy sighed.
"So, I lost my stellar magic didn't I…" she would miss her spirits dearly…
"No, no, no dear. You didn't lose it. You will regain very little when training with me. Probably will only be able to hold them for 10 minutes at max if you train hard enough and 2 at once, that is why I will be teaching you the arts of Wolf Slaying. Technically, a lost magic since it's so rare." He said with a proud smirk. She could already tell he was full of self pride.
"So, I will be learning Shadow Wolf Slaying?" she said with much curiosity.
"Yes my dear. Shadow is one of many complicated magic, very hard to master. Now adding Wolf Slaying, nearly impossible, but you really surprise me deary. You really did surpass your mother." He said with a nod. Lucy swelled with pride, but became curious once again.
"What does that mean?" her eyes narrowing.
"It means that your magic compactly is huge! I can't believe you didn't unlock your full potential! Well, once we start training, you will need another magic to fully regain your magic potential! Most people die from the amount of magic energy from Wolf Slaying but you! You don't have enough! I was quite surprised with this discovery! You really are a wonder!" he said, making Lucy's eyes widening with shock.
"Another magic?! I never heard of a mage able to wield 2 different types of magic! Impossible!" she exclaimed, too shocked to really think about it.
"Nothing is impossible, and you know it." Crescent said with a smile. Lucy was taken back for a moment. Crescent when with a smile looked really like a nice guy. Lucy, with two magical powers. AMAZING!
"I can't wait to get started!" she shouted abruptly jumping along with her statement. Crescent smirked.
"Really? You want to start now?" he asked with false hesitation.
"You bet!" Lucy shouted with such enthusiasm that Crescent had to smile again.
"Alright! 200 pushups and 300 hundred sit ups! Chop chop! Then we will go on to the basics of Wolf Slaying, then balance, then concentration, then…!" he exclaimed with a grin making his imaginary list of what to do to torture Lucy.
"WHAT! 200? 300?! I can barely do 50!?" she whined.
"You need to get stronger! Now get going!" he barked. Literally, barked.
"HAI!" Lucy whimpered, scared of his bark and started with her pushups. "1..2…3…4..5…6.." she said counting. Crescent smirked. You really are something… Lucy Heartfilia…
