A/N: I told you guys I'm a huge K-POP fan, well I just joined an entertainment company that's planning to open up their building in LA in the time span of next 3 years. The company sprouted from another company called ACN which strives to be a customer acquisition company. Anyways, I became one of their growing leaders on Saturday, and now I'm training my business skills to help benefit the company when it does open.
If you do get the chance to look up ACN, it's an amazing company that specializes in selling essential resources: mobile, high speed internet, home security, television, gas & electricity and more but for a cheaper price! You're basically paying for the same stuff with ACN but cheaper.
OH! Best part, I have my very own website xD: paulavo .acndirect .com
Please check it out ~ I definitely recommend you switching to Flash Wireless for those of you who has T-mobile, Sprint, or Verizon. You save money!
Anyways, moving on to the story ~!
"Stop! Stop it! Mommy! Daddy! My frien-"
It's hot. I can't breathe. Mommy? Daddy? Where are you? My room... it burns!
"Where are yo-"
The doors to the room burst open, I ran to Daddy quickly, forgetting about my friend until I was away from the house. The house is hot, it's burning... Why is my house being eaten?
Luce... Don't come. You'll get burn, Luce... Stay away...
Stay away...
Stay away...
Lucy woke up startle drench in cold sweat. Her heart thump excitedly against her rib cage. Her blood pumping, but her legs are numb.
"'Stay away'?" Bringing a hand to her forehead, she laid back down on the bed, trying to even her breathing again. "What does that even mean?" She whispered into the dark room.
The day has started out like any other day for Lucy even though it's been one day. Unpack, clear, and organize things. While unpacking, Lucy have realized that she may over estimated the idea of moving out and may have bought a little too many things.
Like books for example. Lucy love books and love writing stories as well. So usually when she writes, she would get writers block and would have to read novels until she can write again. Sometimes it was a day, a week, two weeks at most. Unlike Levy, Lucy doesn't read anything and she cares about the particular type of genre very much.
No, she prefers the romance comedy, adventurous types of stories rather than the history books that Levy likes to read. The difference is that Levy can read anything and can find it interesting. But for Lucy, she prefers the fairy tales about a dragon rescuing the princess from danger. Not the typical love stories where instead of a dragon that it's a prince... but for Lucy, there's just something oddly interesting about a dragon that pulls her towards it.
Her absolute favorite story in which she has read many times, over a hundred times is called: "The Dragon Slayer saves the Princess". The story starts off with describing a myth about a Princess who was taken away when she was an infant and no one has heard of her whereabouts.
The King and Queen did not want to move on without an heir to the throne, decided to adopt a boy. Years passed and many believed that the Princess is long gone and dead. Until travelers from a nearby kingdom reported to the King that a mysterious woman with long blonde hair was living in the woods just on the outskirts of Fiore.
The boy who is now nineteen and a full fledge Knight captain, volunteered to search the woods for the mysterious woman. There, he finds a woman indeed with long blonde hair and with the kindest brown chocolate eyes he has seen. He reveals to her who he is and the reason he has come. She kindly tells him to leave as she's not allowed to be out in the forest. She explains to him a witch is keeping her in the Forest ever since she was born. She does not where she's from or what her identity is.
The Knight promises to return for her after reporting back to the King and Queen of what he found in the woods. When he returned the following week, the blonde hair maiden was floating on top on the lake encase in a crystal like coffin with her eyes close. He finds the witch who has been waiting for him to return ever since the day he left. The witch has the magic to turn herself into any terrifying animal. The Knight is able to fight off the witch with the help of the Knight army. Lastly, just as he's about to pierce the witch, she turns into a dragon. She says, the only way to free the girl is to defeat her, to slay the her the dragon.
After a struggling battle of bloodshed, the Knight was able to stand and launch to the dragon. However, at the last minute, the witch roared at the Knight, sending him landing on the ground, unconsciousness. Just as the witch was about to fly, the Knight's body began glowing and he stood up again, as if he's renew his strength, hurling towards the dragon, he began hitting her with fists and flames.
Yes, flames. It was as if while the Knight was unconscious, he gained a new power.
"Secret Dragon Slayer Art Crimson Flames: Exploding Flames Blade!" Was the last thing he yelled before attacking the dragon with all his might.
When the smoke cleared, the Knight had the blonde girl in his arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw that he had scales and pointed sharp teeth. His hair was muss up and messy. But somehow, when she looks at him, she's reminded of a dragon.
The Knight brings the blonde girl back to the Kingdom and presented her to the King and Queen that she's the woman he loves and cares for. When the Queen was preparing her for the welcome ball, she was a crown birth mark on the back of her neck. Remembering that the Princess also had the birthmark, she begins to question the girl who replies that she's been in the forest for as long as she can remember. The witch had held her captive their for nineteen years.
Not wanting to lose her again, the Queen announces to the Kingdom that the Princess has return. The Kingdom welcomed her with cheers and celebrations and parades. The Knight and the Princess were allowed to get marry. And the Kingdom lived happily ever after.
Or not.
The author of the story had promised that there would be a sequel to the first book which brings suspicions whether it'll be about the Knight's mysterious ability to gain the power. And perhaps her questions about the 'Dragon Slayer' move will be answered in the next book.
Anyways, the author promises that the book will be published later this year which makes Lucy excited and looking forward for it.
Before has realized it, half the day has already passed while reading the novel. It was past lunchtime now, and deciding that it was time to treat her stomach to something delicious, she quickly placed the book back on the shelf and locked up the room, heading down the hallway to Levy and Erza's room.
Knocking on the door, a muffle, "Come in", sounded through the door.
Inside was Levy on the floor next to her bed surrounded with books. Big books, old books, new books, leather books, hardcover and paperback.
"Lu-chan!" Levy said once she notice who it was and place the book open facing the floor. With careful steps, the petite girl was beside her best friend in a blink of an eye.
"What brings you here?" The girl peer at her friend.
"I've been in my room all day reading, and I just noticed it was past lunchtime. If you're not busy, do you want to grab something to eat?"
"I'm not busy! Give me a sec!"
Levy rush around the room, organizing the room to how it once was without the books laying and scattered on the ground.
"Where's Juvia?" Noticing the room was only occupied by the two of them.
"She said something about hanging out with Gray this morning. I think she's really smitten by him."
"Haha that's good. And what about Er-"
"She also said she was going to explore the campus with Jellal."
"Heheheh I'm suprised you're not with Gajeel then Levy?"
"W-wha..."
As if she was just caught thinking about him, the blunette girl's face turned a deep red.
Lucy let out a laugh at Levy's immediate change of face color. "What, am I wrong?"
"N-NO! Lu-chaaaan!" The girl whine, shelving the books roughly.
Not being able to contain her laughter, Lucy burst out laughing in the hallway, causing a groggy Cana to give the girls a glare, mumbling something about needing her rest as she closed the door.
The two girls exited the dorms and decided to explore the campus cafeteria. Not only did they pick up their uniforms yesterday but they also hadpaid their school health fee and had taken their picture school id. If they show their school id to the cafeteria, they can receive their meals for feel.
Thank goodness that even though the campus is huge, the school provides transportation to certain areas like the dorms, the quad, and downtown Magnolia so the students wouldn't have to walk far to get around campus.
The quad was just like how Lucy remembered it yesterday. Lively and filled with shade to hide from the sun. The cafeteria is also the building known as the Student Life center where students can go to hang out, or study. But they do not have a study room or library. Instead, it has the recreation room where there are two pool tables, xbox, and the wii for the studen uses. In addition, there's the television room and the foosball building is three stories. With the recreation rooms being on the third floor and the cafeteria taking both the first and the second floor. Of course without the studen id, no one would be able to use the fun activities that the school provides.
After checking out the first floor, the girls had decided to look around the second and third floor as well. After their exploration, Lucy and Levy decided to eat on the second floor. It's not that there are much of a difference where a student decides to eats. The structure and process is the same. It's really what the student decides to eat.
The first floor serves breakfast from a certain to a certain time. While the second floor serves lunch around the same time the first floor serves breakfast. Since students can be unpredictable of what they're craving. Then when dinner comes around, both the first and second floor serves dinner. Both floors also places snacks on the counters for any student that's hungry in the middle of the night or if students are still studying in the cafeteria late at night. The menu also changes every week. But even then, the cafeteria has a large variety of different types of food on the menu.
The amazing thing is that the cafeteria also serves popular foreign food on the menu.
But Lucy didn't want to have a heavy lunch before dinner, so she decided to get kimbap, a popular Korean dish that's also called, "Korean sushi". It is made from steamed white rice (and various other ingredients such as cucumber, meat, carrots, and imitation crab; but you could really put anything in it and it would still taste delicious), rolled in gim (sheets of dried laver seaweed) and served in bite-size slices.
Levy, however, was craving curry and that was what she got.
Both the girl chatted happily, tasting each other's lunch. Lucy then noticed a familiar guy sitting behind Levy with long black hair and noticely a lot of piercings. It seems like he was eating by himself. Jellal and Gray nowhere to be seen.
"Hey Levy," Lucy started, interrupting the blunnett's sentence, "Isn't that Gajeel behind you?"
Levy whip her around so fast that Lucy could feel the air pass by her face.
"L-Lu-chan! It is."
"Why do you look so suprised Levy? You should go talk to him. I'll be fine."
"B-But Lu-chaaaan!"
"Go!"
Levy stood up carrying her tray with her and sat across from Gajeel who looked up in suprise, in the middle of stuffing his mouth with food.
They both blinked. No one said anything as Levy picked up her spoon and began chewing her food down.
The two looked so awkward yet comfortable with each other's prescence. Lucy finished up her lunch, secretly waved Levy goodbye and wished her good luck before leaving the Student Life Center.
Looking at the school map, Lucy decided to check out the school library.
