Sorry for not updating sooner but I got caught up with schoolwork. Anyway here is a new chapter. Enjoy.

Chapter 3: New Power

Laxus's POV

"Sabertooth huh, well I said I would support you in whatever you did so if joining Sabertooth is what you want to do, then I have no choice than to support you. But before any of that happens, I will train you like there's no tomorrow. Just because I said I would be here for you doesn't mean that I will go easy on you in this training, otherwise the training won't do any good." I said

"Thanks so much Laxus. And don't worry, I'll make sure that I'm working hard during your training so I don't dissapoint you. It doesn't matter how much it takes, as long as I can stop being so weak." Lucy said though the last part she said with a sad tone of voice, no doubt remembering everything that happened the last few days. Not wanting to see her like that, I quickly gave her a hug and told her in a calm voice, "Don't call yourself weak Lucy. You are one of the strongest mages I know, you just have to work on making sure to be able to show that hidden strength you have to others."

Lucy, still shocked about the hug, could only nod and after calming down said, "Thanks a lot Laxus, you don't know how much this means to me. I don't know where I would be right now without your support."

"No problem Lucy. Well go to bed. We'll start your training tomorrow after we eat something."

Lucy was just about to speak up, probably to say that she isn't sleepy, when she yawns loudly and after blushing because of it, simply nods and goes to sleep.

Lucy's POV

It was dark everywhere around me. I couldn't see where I was walking but all that I knew was that I was alone and I felt scared. All of a sudden a light showed up in front of me and I started walking towards it. Once I reached the light, I began to hear a voice, "Lucy, you have been chosen to wield the power of the gods. When you wake up, the gems of the gods will begin to search for you. When one finds you, it will give you it's gem and you will be able to use it to summon that god to battle. Be warned however, the amount of magic to summon a god is much more than that used to summon a zodiac spirit. We all have confidence you can handle this task, otherwise we wouldn't be entrusting you with our power." I was extremely confused but before I could speak up and ask the voice what he was talking about, the light faded and I woke up.

"What was that dream?" I asked myself outloud. Unknown to me Laxus, who slept in the bed next to me, was awake at the time, so I was startled when he said, "what was your dream about?"

"Laxus! I didn't think you would be awake."

"Yeah well… I couldn't sleep. I was planning your training and was just about to try and get to sleep when you woke up. So what was this dream you had."

I began to tell him about the dream I had and while I was talking, Laxus simply stared and took in all that I was saying. Once I finished telling him about my dream, he finally spoke up. "Well that certainly is a strange dream. I wouldn't ignore it. Instead, I would stay alert for these so called gems. If what the voice said is true and they are looking for you, then I think that we should just continue with our plan and let them come to us."

"That would be the easiest path. But what if the voice is wrong and I can't handle these gems. What will happen to me?" Lucy asked slightly scared.

"Don't doubt yourself Lucy. I'm confident you can handle it, and if you can't then you'll train until you can. This is actually a good thing, since these 'gods' will no doubt increase your power and will make the training much less stressful, knowing that you have a new way to fight." Laxus said with a tone that calmed all of my doubts and caused my heart to start beating faster. Control yourself Lucy, it's still to early for you to lose control of your emotions. "Y-yeah thanks. Anyway I'm still pretty tired so I think I'll sleep a little more."

"Of course. I'm going to bed as well." Laxus said with a quick yawn.

"Sleep well Laxus…" I said drifting off to sleep.

"Sleep well Lucy…" And with that Laxus got into bed and fell to sleep.

The next morning

Laxus's POV
I woke up at about nine in the morning. 'Huh, that's pretty late for me. Well I did go to bed pretty late.' I got off my bed and walked to the restroom to change but not before looking back and gatching a glimpse of Lucy's sleeping figure. Lucy is so cute when she sleeps. Wait, what. No bad Laxus. Don't think those types of things about Lucy. You know she only thinks of you as a friend. Plus, she's still trying to get over all the thins that have happened to her. Just wait till she recovers to tell her. I changed into a black shirt and some black pants. Afterwards, I walked out and saw Lucy getting up. "Good morning Lucy. How did you sleep?"

Lucy's POV

As I was waking up, I hear Laxus say, "Good morning Lucy. How did you sleep?" Hearing Laxus's voice first thing in the morning made me smile and I said, "Good morning Laxus. I slept well. How about you?" It was then that I realized that he only had on a shirt and pants, the shirt which I may add, caused him muscles to show more. While I was trying to control my hormones, Laxus responded to my question by saying "I slept well. Come on let's go get breakfast." After I didn't respond, he smirked and said, "Oy Lucy, earth to Lucy." "W-What? Oh Laxus, y-yeah let's go get breakfast." Damn me and my studdering.

After getting breakfast, we walked out of the house we were living in and started heading out to the forest. Just before we left the town, a man dressed in an old greek robe and a very surprisingly big beard walks up to me and says, "Nice to meet you Miss Lucy, my name is Zeus."
