Chapter 3: Family
Lucy P.O.V.
I stand frozen. They know my last name? No one is supposed to know that I'm the Heartfilia heiress. 'I left that life behind, what if they want to know why I left or if I would go back? I can never go back to my father.' I shift uncomfortable and look at the floor before my feet.
"Bunny, you okay?" Gajeel wraps his hand around mine and squeezes it gently. My body starts to relax slowly and I give him a firm nod.
"Master Makarov, please inform me. If I'm supposed to be Laxus his long lost sister, then why is he a Dreyar while I'm a Heartfilia?"
Laxus' body stiffens all of a sudden and he turns his head away. Both me and Gajeel notice the sad look in his eyes.
Master Makarov sighs. "Let's go up to my office and talk things through. You have the right to know all about your family and what has happened to it."
The three of us follow him up to the office and immediately the entire guild hall is filled with whispers. Before Laxus closes the door he looks towards a man with long green hair and nods slightly.
"Please, children. Take a seat." I look at Gajeel and we both sit down on the leather couch, while Laxus leans against the desk and eyes both of us. But when I take a closer look I can see that he's mostly interested in Gajeel.
Master Makarov clears his throat and sighs once again. "It was X769, Laxus just turned 3 and his mother announced an unexpected pregnancy. Already from the beginning of the pregnancy Ivan had been against it. He wanted her to give you up. Instead your mother went into hiding for the next 8 months. When you were born you immediately brought you to the heartfilia estate, hoping you would be taken care of properly. Jude and Layla never knew who your real parents were."
I look towards my hands in my lap. "Why did you never tell them or visit?"
"Because they were so happy to have you, Lucy. We couldn't take away their happiness." Laxus kneels in front of me.
Gajeel huffs beside me. "Well she left that place 2 years ago. Didn't you keep track of her or something?"
Laxus stares at us in shock. "Your father told us you were there, every time we called. We even wrote letters and received responses, in your name."
"He lied. I escaped that place 2 years ago, with the help of my body guard. But he told me to leave him behind." Once again my head falls down and I stare at my hands. I still haven't forgiven myself for it.
Laxus P.O.V.
'I wonder what she's been through to become so sad.' Talking about her bodyguard apparently hurts a lot. Who was he, and what happened to him? would he be able to make her smile again? Movement beside her makes my eyes shift to the Iron Dragon Slayer. Why am I so attracted to him? I'm not even into guys! 'He's your mate, you fool.' Wait, what? I can see Gajeel watching me with the same questioning look on his face. Does he know? 'Of course! he's not as dense as you are.' My eyes meet his and I unconciously lick my lips. A really light blush appears on his cheeks and I silently start cheering. You're mine, Iron Dragon Slayer!
That's it for chapter 3, it's a bit short I know. well something to look forward to, in chapter 4 Erik / Cobra is finally appearing again :D
