Lucy P.O.V
My cries slowly turned into minor whimpers. I was currently in Jellal's embrace and it slowly got better. I still had questions for him and I decided I had waited long enough for answers. I pulled away slightly and looked up to see his brown eyes staring back. I quickly looked away and broke the embrace. I sat back down and looked up at him expectantly.
"So.." I wiped away the tear stains on my face. "How exactly did you find me?" I asked. He sat down in his former seat across from me and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. 'Why do guys always do that?' I wondered.
"Well it was like this..."
Flashback (Jellal P.O.V)
I stood outside the guilds doors. Which guild? Fairy Tail of course. I had parted ways with Ultear and Meredy they said something about taking down members of a rogue guild that they worked with when they were in Grimoire Heart. I had asked if they wanted me to come but they said it was better if they went alone. So here I was in front of the world famous guild ready for a visit. I really had no where else to go. It would be foolish to try and take on a dark guild by myself so I had nothing else to do. I stood to the side of the doors. What would they do when I walked in? While I was thinking the doors opened and out came a blonde girl. I remembered her...She was at the tower of heaven and Nirvana. One of Erza's friends I believe, Lucy? Yes that's it Lucy.
"What are you doing here?" someone asked from behind me. I slowly turned and saw that it was the lightning dragon slayer Laxus Dreyer (A/n: Lol that rhymes XD) that addressed me.
"Visiting" I answered. I noticed the blonde had disappeared from view and I was now alone with the other blonde.
"From outside the guild?" He asked challenging me. How long had I been standing here debating whether I should go in or not?
"That...that is of none of your concern" I said looking away.
"Whatever...eh hey you saw blondie run out of here right?" he asked referring to Lucy. I nodded I had found it strange she wasn't even smiling. "Well...I wanted you to do something for m-I mean her" he asked me. Seriously from what I heard this guy doesn't like asking for help.
"Do tell." I insisted he continue. He had in a simple term captured my interest.
"Ugh fine I want you to train her" he said bluntly. The surprise was clearly all over my face. Me? Be a teacher? Would she really trust me that much?
"Why don't you train her?" I asked confused. He sighed looking bored and irritated.
"To train her I'd have to leave the guild she needs a lot of time to get better and I'd get too annoyed because of her" he explained. Makes sense. I nodded I wasn't meeting Ultear and Meredy for another couple of weeks and I guess it'd be the right thing to do. Since she left she'd need someone to help her along the way.
"I'll do it" I said. He smiled and began walking towards the guild the doors. "Wait!" I said after him. He looked at me. "You really care about her don't you?" I said smirking at his obvious discomfort.
"Yes" he says through gritted teeth "Tell anyone and you'll regret it"he warns walking back into the silent guild. Silent? That's not like Fairy Tail. I began walking after the blonde mage. Her magical trail was unique so it wasn't too hard for me to catch up to her. I saw her come out of a small apartment building and then saw started heading towards the train station but then she changed course. Huh? I was sure that she would take the train. She was now heading north, to the forest?
I followed her for a while, the sun was setting and it was getting darker. I kept my distance just watching how she moved it was easier to observe your student to determine what they would do best in before appearing to them. It was then that I realised that she wasn't like the others from Fairy Tail. She thought things through and every movement she made had a reason behind it. I sound more like I'm admiring her more then assessing her capability now. I was doing well until...SNAP. Damn it! She swung around and raised a key in my direction. Good reflexes.
"Who's there?" she asked in my general area. Well I will have to show myself now. I moved past the bushes which were hiding me from her view. "Who are you?" Straight to the point. Excellent. I raised my arms to show I meant no harm. She didn't lower her key. Stubborn. Could be an asset or a liability.
"I'm not going to hurt you" I said. She kept her gaze on me and she looked like she was searching me. Looking for weaknesses and strengths. Very good. Focused. I took a step forward and she took a step back. Not very trusting are we? We continued like this until she was on the edge of a steep hill. Not very observant. Easily distracted. I'll have to work on that. "Stop!" I ran forward hoping to catch her before she fell. I didn't. I stood shocked. Did she seriously just step off the hill? Okay maybe I did have some work to do here? Wait what am I still doing here!? "Meteor" I said. I had to get to her. She was at the bottom by time I got there. Wow she's conscious. After a fall like that I would of thought that she'd be unconscious. Durable. I stood over her for less than seconds and she was out cold. I pulled down my hood and knelt down to her. She sure took a beating. I picked her up carefully so I didn't worsen any of her wounds and began searching for a suitable spot to spend the night. This was going to be an interesting journey...
End of Flashback (Lucy's P.O.V)
Wow. Well I've got my answers let's see if I believe them.
"Laxus really...said that?" I asked still not believing it. He nodded smiling. I can't understand it. Why would he do-say that for me? I definitely have to thank him next time I see him. "Thank you" I said to Jellal. he turned to me and cocked his head to the side. Oh my gosh that's adorable! Wait! What?
"What for?" he asked clearly not understanding what I meant. I laughed.
"For helping me" I said. He nodded in understanding, a slight pink dusting his cheeks. Oh so I can make him blush? I laughed again.
"So I cannot make you do what Laxus wants so I will ask you do you want to train with me?" he asked seriously. That was a big choice for me to make. Should I? It would definitely make me stronger and smarter just like I wanted to be. It would improve my magic and my skills. I knew Jellal so our relationship would improve. The down side hmm I'd have to hide with him from the magic council. It wouldn't be so bad, who better to train with then someone who was named one of the 10 wizard saints? I wouldn't get an opportunity like this ever again. It was all or nothing. All in all it seems like my best option at the moment.
"I'd love to" I accepted. He smiled and got up. Walking towards me I could see the seriousness return to his face.
"Come with me" he said holding out his hand. I looked at it puzzled.
"Where?" I asked timidly. He smiled warmly at me. My breathe hitched. Someones smile hasn't made me do that since...since Mama.
"To Ultear and Meredy" he paused his smile getting wider. It made me smile too. "To Crime Sorciere" he finished. He was inviting me to Crime Sorciere? I had heard that they took down dark guilds with just the 3 of them. Was I really strong enough to be with them? He trusted me that much. If he trusted me then I would trust him. I took his hand and shook it. That familiar warmth returned to my hand as our hands shook. We stood there both smiling and looking at eachother for a while. I snapped out of it and blushed at how close we were. I looked away to hide it but I'm sure he saw it. He grinned and released my hand from his grasp. I felt myself missing the warmth. Maybe- just maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
Sparrow: I felt like being nice...It's so weird Halloween must be changing me
