Chapter 8: Master Makarov

I have to play along with my Father's act. I know something is not right. At the same time, I need to watch my back. While heading to Fairy Tail, Happy greeted me along the way. He told me that Natsu is very worried about me. He was restless and gets easily pissed, not your ordinary Natsu. Happy is sure that something is bothering him and I think I know why.

"Come on Happy," I said, preparing to run, "Let's go to Natsu!"

Happy carried me and we're off to the guild by air! I can get used to flying. I mean seriously, how often do you get to fly on a small blue cat with wings? Anyway, we almost had a crash landing and then, as I looked up, Natsu was standing near the gate. He has a forlorn look on his face. Definitely, not your typical Natsu.

"Hey, Pinky!" I called him.

"I'm sorry Luce," He replied, "I told the guild about yesterday night."

"What?" I said.

"The guild needs to know." He immediately answered back, "I'm sorry I acted harshly on you last night."

"I understand," I reassured, "I didn't really know much until then."

"I have informed the old man about this, by the way." He added.

"By old man, you mean, Master Makarov?" I confirmed.

"Yep, old man." He replied.

"So," I sighed, "am I going to be in big trouble?"

"I don't know." He replied, "Let's go. We'll talk in the lounge."

That's it, I'm going to get it. Argh, how did Natsu get into the house anyway? But then, if he didn't confront me, I would not have re-gained my memories. As we entered the lounge, the once noisy and lively lounge, was silent and all eyes were on me. I could feel dark aura surrounding me. It was choking. I tried to ignore it.

"Welcome back Lucy," Mirajane greeted me with a smile, "I hope you had a great time in the guild yesterday."

I nodded my head instead of giving her a verbal reply. I knew it. I don't belong here. I am better off alone. Natsu invited me to sit with him in his usual table. I sat down without saying a word. It looks like everyone was in the lounge, waiting for me to say something, anything. And then, there was this gigantic shadow. It appeared at the back of the lounge. His eyes were filled with fury and rage. It was the most intimidating thing I have ever seen in my life.

"Which one of you is Lucy Lightheart?" it spoke.

Everyone looked at me.

"Shit," I thought, "I'm going be in serious trouble!"

The gigantic thing walked towards me. Each step it took was like thunder. The ground shook like as if there was an earthquake. I must admit, my legs were shaking like never before. As it stood in front of me, I looked at it.

"Lucy Lightheart," It said.

I thought I was going to pee on my skirt, I swear! The shadow raised its hand and the gigantic thing shrunk slowly.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!"

It was Master Makarov! His hands were stretched out to shake mine. I didn't know what was going on but when I shook his hands…

"Everyone!" he shouted, "Let us officially welcome Lucy into Fairy Tail!"

With that, everyone returned to their lively selves. All of them gathered around the table and asked me questions. Mira whipped up an icy cold drink which was the best, I have ever drunk! It was all free and easy. Natsu returned to his normal chirpy self. I was re-introduced to the entire guild. I learnt more about their facilities and, I get to show off a bit of my skills as a Celestial Spirit Mage. After all that, the crowd had died down. I went around the guild to find Master Makarov. And when I thought I could never find him, there he was, sitting on a fence.

"Master Makarov," I said, as I approached him. "Why didn't you punish me?"

"I know that you lied to us, Lucy Heartfilia. I know who you are." He replied.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"You can't lie to me you know." He gave a gentle look at me. "I know who are and what you have gone through. I know your father changed your name to protect you."

"How do you know my father?" I asked, giving him the confused tone.

"Your father used to work with the council." He said, "He was a good man until, something happened."

"What happened?" I pressured him.

"That, you have to find out yourself." He replied, jumping down the fence and making his way back into Fairy Tail.

"I'm pretty sure Natsu is very keen in asking you to be a part of his team." He said as he waved to me, "He wanted to tell you this but; he couldn't find the strength to ask you."

As he strolls off, I stood there, rooted to the ground. It looks like I do not have any other choice. I saw happy flying around the building. I called him and said, "Tell Natsu that I'll be glad to join his team. We'll be heading out immediately once he has chosen one." And with that, Happy flew off to find Natsu. I held my Keys and looked at them. Well, Lucy, it looks like we have some missions to do.
