Chapter 3: The Secret of the Guild
Normal POV.
Lucy went back inside the guild. All she can think about was what Natsu told her and the way he told her.
"They are my Nakama, Companions…Family." "If one of us is in pain we are in pain, if one of us is happy WE ARE happy. That's what Nakama means…And you Princess are now part of our Family."
I'm part of their family? That must be a joke….' She thought. No one wanted to be related to her even her own Father why would these people let her be part of their family, she is a stranger to them. But…
Flashback
Lucy stared at him at awe. "Family….?" She said softly. Natsu nodded while smiling at her.
"You are not a person we found of the street" He said sarcastically. "You are Princess, a girl who we find very important, a girl with a strong heart, and a girl I care very much for" He added blushing a bit.
End of flashback
I'm important? He cares me? Lucy blushed at that thought. No one said that to her before…She was always a supporting character in every story including hers, now she is a main character in Natsu's story. She giggled at that thought. 'Wait don't think about Natsu like that! Think about him, the boy from your memories' She squeezed her eyes closed tightly.
"You have a funny face Lushee"
"Eh?" Lucy turned around to the voice. "Down here" She looked down and saw a little boy with blue hair and a green knapsack the same height as Carla. "Uh…Who are you?" Lucy asked the boy.
"EEEHHHHHHH?! YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME ALREADY?! YOU'RE SOO MEAN LUSHEE" The boy yelled and ran away.
"Hey wait up!" Lucy said as she ran after him. Then she ran right around the corner and bumped right into …Natsu. (So predictable)
"OUCH! What the HELL PRINCESS?!" He looked at her on top of him. Lucy's face was bright RED.
"EH?" he said and realized that their faces are micrometers away from each other, her warm breaths landing on his face.'Ohhhhhh' he thought (See! Natsu is not that dense XD). So he decided to have fun with it.
"Would you like to lean in? or should I do the honors?" he teased
Lucy looked up at him and somehow blushes even harder. But that didn't stop her from hitting his head.
"Ouch!" he said clutching his head.
"Lushee Liiiikes you" A voice intercepts.
Natsu looks up and say "Oh Happy, when did you get here?" He says casually. Lucy gets off him and said "So his name is Happy…."
"GAHH! It's the mean Lushee!" Happy exclaimed with the weird pronunciation of the blonde's name. "Why you stupid little brat!" Lucy said as she chased the little boy.
Natsu sighed as he grabbed his red flame hoodie and put it on. He then grabbed the boy and the girl by their collar like little kittens.
"No time for that, it's been an hour. Time for us to head toward the village." Natsu said to them but mostly to Happy. Happy's eyes widened and grins "OH YEAH!" Happy then grabs Natsu's arm, dragging him toward the entrance of the guild.
Lucy was confused, why was everyone so happy to go to the village. Everyone in the guild was talking about they can't wait to go the village… She was even more surprised when they met up with the guide mates they grabbed their masks from a huge sack, Mirajane brought out, and with their satchels full with objects.
Natsu had a dragon mask, Happy has cat mask, and everyone each have a mask that matches their personality. Then she finally looked at Natsu's satchel which was full of…gold, jewels, basically treasure and everyone's satchel are also full with gold. 'Where did Natsu get these?' Then the thought of this guild being the "problems" Dad had been having. Were they the guild who stole treasures from all over Fiore? Her question was answered when Natsu hands her a mask filled with stars covering it like the night sky. Masks…
"Here's your mask now your part of-"But Lucy interrupted him.
"Natsu…" Lucy said lowly. He looks at her and realized he hasn't told her the truth about the guild yet.
"I totally forgot…" He said slowly.
"Forgot about what?" Gray came toward them with Juvia trailing after him. Natsu looks at Lucy while Lucy was glaring at the ground. Gray looked at both of them and something clicked in his head and realized what is happening.
"You haven't told her yet Flame Head?! No wonder you didn't tell her yet since your head is full of flames it burns your brain cells" Gray shouted to Natsu. Gray's mask looks like the Artic with glaciers.
"Enough Gray!" Judging the voice behind the armor covered clothes and mask it has to be Erza. There was a loud CLANG! And then she spoke again. "Now Natsu, Why haven't you told Lucy before she joined our guild." Everyone was quiet.
Lucy was shocked by Erza's words. Did they really wanted her be in their guild? She looked up at Natsu for an explanation. And Natsu shouted "No one interrupt me anymore! I WAS going to tell her!" This surprised everyone. Including Lucy, whose eyes filled with shock at his outburst.
"Princess" Natsu gestured her to listen. "You HAVE to promise to keep this a secret from anyone but us. GOT IT!?" He looked at her in the eyes but there is hint of regret in his eyes as he waited for her agreement.
"Y-yes I s-swear." She raised her right hand with the insignia on it to promise.
Natsu exhaled deeply. "Our guild …takes gold and treasures from the rich, we are the mask thieves who steal treasure over Fiore."
"That was what I was afraid of-"Lucy started saddened since she already knew what he was going to say. Natsu was the person who broke into her castle and robbed her father.
"Wait Princess we're not done yet…. Unlike those stories that people steal and use the money for their own evil deeds, we give it to the people in the village." That part surprised her but it mostly confuses her. The village needs help? From who?
"But the village is prosperous everything in there is healthy, peaceful, happy…Dad told-"Lucy started, about to tell them about the stories her father told her.
"HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE VILLAGE?!" Natsu yelled at her. Lucy stopped her sentence. "JUST LISTEN, YOU NEVER BEEN OUT YOUR CASTLE OR YOUR BACKYARD AND YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOUR FATHER TELLS YOU ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T SEEN BEFORE?!"
Lucy thought about it, she looked at the ground and think about the times her father told her about the village.
"The village is full people smiling and bustling around, children running around, and celebrations every day. That's all you have to know the village" said her father.
"Really DAD?!" little Lucy said.
"I'm quite sure" Her father said smiling down at her. "You know I met your mother in the village?" He continued telling his little daughter the many wonderful stories.
Lies…lies… but… He met mom there…Was he lying about that too?
Natsu then pulled Lucy's mask on her face and pulled her into his arms. He motioned the others to follow him toward the woods. In the matter of minutes they stopped upon the cliff. Down below was a rather tiny town with their houses covered with layers of dirt and grime; some buildings were even upside down. It was like an earthquake just came and brought destruction upon the village and literally flipped the small town upside down.
"That is the secret of our guild" Natsu replied softly.
Lucy's hands go up to take her mask off. Immediately, tears fell down her cheeks once she took it off. The town she always wanted to go to… was destroyed and erased from her mind. Every time as a single drop falls from her eyes, Natsu felt guilty since he was the one who told her. He signaled the guild mates to start their weekly help to the village. The only ones who stayed with Lucy and Natsu were Erza and Gray. Juvia reluctantly went to the village because Gray told her to. Natsu grabbed Lucy and pulled her into a hug. (Like in Fairy Tail the maiden of the phoenix)
Erza is quiet as well as Gray. The only sounds that were heard were the sounds of Lucy's tears and Natsu's comforting words.
