Chapter 2

After shocks

Three Months Later…

Lucy awoke to the unpleasant sound of a certain two raiding her fridge again. As always, she stormed into the kitchen and kicked them out of her house. Following her morning routing, she took a shower then proceeded to have breakfast. Sighing, she sat down on her desk to work on her novel.

Things had been back to normal after the accident she had a few months back. Her head still throbbed at times but nothing major about it. Even so, Lucy hadn't forgotten the words she had heard. She would also from time to time have strange dreams about a man with black hair and a child that looked like her calling him master. Lucy had tried to dismiss these as after effects of the fall.

She stared at the white piece of paper before her unable to proceed. Pushing away from her desk she grabbed her bag and headed for the guild.

-o-

Lucy sat at the guild bar, frustrated and sighing. She was playing with her drink again, stirring it with the straw it came with.

Both Mira and Cana exchanged glances as Lucy sighed once more. They nodded at each other knowing they needed to do something to content their blonde friend. Cana picked up her barrel and sat next to Lucy. Her friend turning to face her.

"Not right now Cana…," Lucy complained.

"You've been sighing the whole day Lucy. Come on tell me what's wrong? Do you want me to do a reading for you?"

Lucy shook her head at her. "I just want to be left alone..."

Cana sighed. She was failing badly. Not listening to Lucy, she decided to do a reading on her anyways. She shuffled her cards and laid them out in her usual fashion. What she was seeing was confusing. There was a man which she couldn't figure out who it was. Maybe Lucy had gotten a new boyfriend or vice versa, she had been dumped. There was no card that linked the man to a romantic relationship though.

The man in question was indeed surrounded by mystery. The two of cups was near which meant it had to do something with the past. She looked up at Lucy who was still on cloud nine.

"Lucy... someone from your past is bothering you? Sorry I did the reading anyways," Cana said.

Lucy turned to look at her. Her face said it all. She had hit right on target.

-o-

Book pages being turned could be heard in the big study. Lucellia sat at the desk studying old grimoires. The one currently on her hands being on amplifying one's magical abilities via meditation.

The book itself was actually almost as big as her. Therefore giving her trouble holding it up. She was enjoying the book when she suddenly lost balance of it. The book fell to the side and off the table only to be caught by a young man with black hair.

Luci smiled at her master as he placed the book back on the table. The young man giving her a slight nod.

"Master!," she started excitedly. "I learned a new spell. Well... more like created it."

Her master smiled slightly and nodded at her sitting down next to her on the desk.

"I'm glad to hear that and I hope to see it soon enough my apprentice."

Luci smiled big. She was greatly honored to have such a wonderful master to teach her magic and take care of her. She picked up the book her master was handing to her and focused on it. This one being on celestial spirits and their purpose.

Her master watched her, smiling slightly still.

'One day this child is going to surpass even myself.'

-o-

Lucy awoke on a sofa in an office. She looked about and noticed it was Master Makarov's. Sitting up she rubbed her head which was throbbing again. Another migraine, another dream. That's the way it seemed like lately.

She couldn't remember how she got here obviously. All she remembered was sitting at the bar talking to Mira about books. When suddenly she started to talk about some of the ones at the guild library. Mira told her about a specific one that might interest her. It was about spirits and their purpose. That's when she blanked out and now she found herself here in the master's office.

Erza walked in just then. She rushed to Lucy's side asking about her condition.

"I'm ok Erza. It's nothing, really," Lucy said.

"It can't be just nothing. You have kept blacking out after that accident. Lucy you can't lie to me."

If there was one thing Erza was good at, it was reading her. The knight lady couldn't read anyone else but her like this. It was weird as she was oblivious to almost everyone else.

Lucy looked at her face and could see her worry painted on it. Sighing she tried standing up only to loose her balance and fall back on the sofa.

"Erza, I just want to go home and lay down for a little bit."

Her friend frowned but nodded. "Fine I'll get Natsu to bring you back."

"Not Natsu please! Last time he helped me home he saw Gray across the canal and almost dropped me in it!," she said as she shot up from her seat.

"Oh... ok. I could get Elfman then?"

Lucy shook her head holding it at the same time because of the migraine. "It's fine. I'll just call Loke."

The knight nodded and after making sure Loke would take her safely home, they parted ways at the guild gates.

I know I've been MIA for almost a year now. Really sorry about that but I had writer's block up the you-know-what and just had no inspiration what so ever. Also, I had ALOT of complications IRL. It may be a little while again before I update so please just be patient. I'll update. Even if it's a year from now ;-;
