WHEN WE WERE KIDS

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Previously/ Lucy has told Natsu about her first letter, because he knew something was wrong. Afterwards, at school, Felicia, the student representative on the disciplinary council, gave her another letter, with the same seal. Lucy opened it, to find a letter from her obba-chan, and a letter from the people. They are blackmailing her , and hurting Silver if she does something wrong. Lucy is determined to find the author, and so far, Sting is her prime suspect... In obba's letter, she said she left Lucy a present, so Lucy decided to bunk of school, to go and get what Silver was talking about.

The trouble with getting into number four, was that it was still under investagation, to find the source of the fire. I went into Natsu's house, and looked from the guest room window. It was surprisingly quiet, and then I remembered, it was lunch time, they were probably eating there lunch somewhere. Lucky Lucy strikes again. I opened the window, and exited through there, jumped over the fence, and rushed around to force open my window, Natsu had shown me a trick. I jumped into my room, and dashed into obba-chan's room. It was neat, and smelled of her, it was relaxing. I found her jewelery box, and opened it. In it where some beautiful pieces, rubies, jade, sapphires, amethyst, amber... but one thing that striked me as strange, was the three gold keys, they seemed somewhat familiar to me. I picked them up, and felt my heart stop for a short second, they were my mother's gate keys. I remember having one lesson from her, just before she died, she had shown me her keys, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Cancer. Silver must of meant these. I took them, and went back into my room. I remembered Natsu asking me for a lacrima pod with Fix You on, so I took my lacrima pod, and left.

I decided to bunk of school for the rest of the day, and try to remember my first magic lesson. I went to the field, where Natsu and I had gone to play in the rain, and then where I knew I had fallen I love with him, I closed my eyes at the memory. The field was still beautiful, even without the rain, white butterflies danced over the waist high grass, and bees buzzing around. The sun was bright, and due to the altitude, it was cool. I sat in the grass, cross-legged, and held the keys in my hands. All of a sudden, one of them started glowing, and out of nowhere, a man, or a goat, in a suit appeared.

"Miss Lucy." He said, in a deep voice. I was shocked.

"Y-y-yes...Are you Capricorn?" I stuttered.

"I am. I opened my gate with my own magic. Are you willing to learn celestial magic, like miss Layla?" He asked. The question surprised me.

"My mother..." I said, and held the keys close to my heart. I hadn't been this close to her since she died. A tear ran down my face.

"Thank you for opening your gate, would you mind if I thought about it?"

"Not at all. I hope we can meet again soon." Capricorn said, and vanished. I curled up into a ball, and cried. Being close to my mother, also meant being close to home. I missed her, a lot. It had been two years since she died, and it was closing in on...the anniversary of her death...you could call it. She would of let me stay in Magnolia, she would of understood.

I wasn't sure how many hours I stayed on the mountain, but the sun started to set, and I still felt no reason to go back to Natsu's house. I wanted to be on my own, I hand't been on my own since I got to Magnolia. It was just me, and my thoughts. I knew that I would be out of here in two months, so I decided to make a mental list of stuff I needed to do. I still had my plan for Natsu's non existent birthday that I needed to start, and so much other stuff I wanted to do, like a bucket list. My thoughts were interupted by someone calling my name. I sighed, as the calling came closer.

"Lucy! Where the hell have you been?!" Natsu shouted at me as he saw me. I had my back to him, but I knew he was angry. I hurridely wiped away the remains of my tears. He walked over to me, and sat down next to me.

"I have been looking for you all over the place Lucy! One moment your at school, and the next your here? What the hell were you thinking when you ran off like that?! Levy said that-Lucy? Are you okay?" He said, looking at my face I had obviously not wiped away my tears enough. I lifted my hand up, to show him the three keys.

"What are those?" He asked.

"My mom's. Her celestial gate keys." I said, my voice cracking.

"Your mom's?" He said, his tone becoming less angry.

"Yes. She was a celestial spirit wizard. She could call the spirits from the constellations if she had the gate key."

"Oh...I'm sorry, I din't know you were-"

"It's okay. I met Capricorn. He's asking me if I want to learn that magic." I said.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know."

"You know, at Fairy Tail, they do a special course for students, were the wizards at the guild teach you, and you can continue doing jobs and earning jewels."

"That would mean I would have to leave Fairy High."

"But it also means you can do magic." He said. There was a tone in his voice, it was neutral, like he wasn't trying to persuade me.

"No way. I could never leave all of you." I said. "I'll just have to wait until the holidays."

"Lucy?" He asked.

"What?"

"Are you okay? I know you're hiding something again." He said.

"I'm fine, I'm not hiding anything." I said, and tried to get up, but he held onto my sleeve.

"I know when your not okay. Come here." He said, and pulled me closer to him. He wrapped his arm around me, and stroked my hair. I leant closer.

"It's just complicated, I'm not sure what to do." I sighed. What I said made no sense to him, but he still nodded in agreement, another reason why I loved him, he listened, when necesarry, that is.

"Is it to do with your mom? Are you sad?"

"I suppose. It's been nearly two years. In two days." I said, feeling a tear run down again.

"Oh, and are you planning on doing anything?"

"I visited her grave last year, but I can't. It's at the mansion, and if he saw me there..."

"You could always go in the night?" He offered.

"I'm to scared to do it on my own."

"I'll come with you. I got a lacrima call from gramps, he says he'll be another weak."

"Oh. I wonder what there doing..."

"Would you like me to come with you?"

"You would do that?"

"Of course."

"Thank you. I'd love it." I said, and clutched the keys closer to me.

When we got home, a man was waiting at the door. He saw us walk down the path, and walked over towards us.

"Hello, Lucy Heartfilia? I was told that you were living here temporarily?" He said.

"Yes, that's right."

"We have finished our investagation on your house. We will send a report to the adress as soon as it is finished. You are free to go back there." He said, giving me the keys.

"Thank you." I said. He went back down the road, and left.

"Finaly, that took them ages." He said, before opening the door. "Are you going to go back?"

"I think I will. Did I tell you? Obba has been discharged, she's resting at home." I said.

"Really? They let her stay?"

"Yes." I lied. "Special case."

"Cool." He said, as we walked in. "I'll miss having you around. It was fun."

"Yep. Thanks again." I said.

He helped me get my stuff together, and I left, and walked back down the road. The day had been full of surprises. I had woken up this morning, with Natsu in my bed. I was having fun with Levy, then I get a letter, blackmailing me, and then, I find my moms keys and I'm offered to learn magic. I sighed, and opened the door. On the floor, was another letter, with the same seal.

The game had started.
