Good Meets Bad
Chapter 5 – Fear Me
A/N: Yay! Finally! I updated the story that everyone's been waiting for xD I apologize for the VERY late review, but I was busy ._. I also posted a new story, titled "Forgotten Memories". It's RoLu, and I hope you like it ^^ This chapter isn't that long, it's about 2029 words. Yes, it's the right number, excluding the author's notes and the disclaimer and blah blah blah.
Thank you Rosella6199 for beta reading this chapter :D I'm very lucky to have you.
This story's quite well-known. Somehow I think it's because of the plot and how it's going through xD And please, don't worry about what's going to happen below xD
Well, start reading!
Genre: Romance, Humor, Friendship, Hurt and Comfort, Drama
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.
Lucy gave Zen a sharp stare and the latter whimpered and scurried away. The blonde groaned and looked at her watch, this time, on her wrist and looked at a table next to the gang. Gray and Natsu automatically stiffened up and held their breath.
"We're so screwed once she sees us," Natsu whispered to Loke who glared at him. "Maybe if you just keep quiet, then she won't see us!" Loke hissed and Laxus rolled his eyes.
"Lucy-sama, I hear voices, whispering," Zen said and Lucy narrowed her eyes dangerously. She could hear them as well. She looked around and dropped her eyes on a familiar dark blue and black shoulder bag. She grimaced and glared at the bag, "Jellal."
Jellal and Gray stared into each other's eyes. Everyone could see the troubled looks on their faces; they were scared. Scared of what was happening. Scared because of the need to know why Lucy was acting like that. They were scared because they were trapped, any minute now and Lucy would see them.
Lucy's narrowed eyes darted around dangerously, even though she had seen Jellal's bag, she was certain that it was only the same as his. But she wasn't sure of that yet, so she just kept looking.
Mira and Lisanna grabbed each other's hands and began praying silently. Erza and Loke sweated a little, a little bit nervous as to being found out. It wasn't every day to find Lucy Heartfilia in a cafe as a WAITRESS. Given excuses to be scared, Loke clutched the arm of his chair tighter and felt Levy's nails digging into his arm.
"L-Levy, that hurts like hell," Loke hissed and Levy whimpered.
"Sorry, I'm just scared."
"I understand," Loke said and gritted his teeth. He watched Lucy's glaring eyes look at every table, but somehow, her eyes still haven't landed on their table.
"L-Let's go.." Natsu whispered but his voice rose up a little. Jellal shushed him. "We can't! She'll see us!" he whispered loudly. "But what can we do? We HAVE to leave this cafe," Lisanna said and Gray gulped.
"We know but—"
Lucy grimly turned her head around as soon as she heard the familiar voices again and her eyes narrowed, staring at a table near the gang. She felt Zen tug at her uniform and she glared at him, making him shut up.
"I can hear them," Lucy said, her ears twitching. Zen grinned evilly behind her.
"Then attack."
Lucy shot a cold and hard stare at Zen from behind her and the blonde boy apologized. She listened carefully to any sounds once again and was about to give up when suddenly..
Natsu choked and Lucy's eyed landed on the table and her eyes widened. She gripped the tray she was holding tighter and she walked closer.
She stopped in front of the gang's table and saw Gray gulping. She stared at them grimly, "What a pleasure to see you."
Natsu yelled out in shock and Loke smacked him on the head. Lucy stared at them, her face impassive, and her lips straight. She looked okay, but in the inside she was stopping herself from doing anything… rash. "Here are your orders," a different waitress came and gave the gang their orders. The waitress looked at Lucy and bowed, "Lucy-sama."
Lucy nodded, "Hnn."
Jellal blinked and watched as the waitress left. He looked back at Lucy, since when did people bow down to her?
"Well, now that you have your orders, eat," Lucy smiled sweetly. Natsu and Loke shuddered when they saw her smile. They knew it wasn't true, her eyes were completely twitching. Levy gulped and slowly drank her watermelon shake and took a bite out of a chocolate chip cookie.
Jellal looked at his food and pushed the plate away a bit, he lost his appetite. Lucy narrowed her eyes at the untouched food and glared at Jellal who stared at her with strong and willed eyes. They had a staring contest and Lucy's lips twitched. "Pfft.." she said and Jellal stared at her with a confused face. Lucy grinned evilly and slammed her hand on the table angrily. She leaned closer to the table and her eyes shone in the moonlight.
Wait? Since when did it become night already?
Lucy smiled cruelly, "Ita… daki… masu."
And the lights went out.
"Kyaaa!" the customers in the café all cried out, running around and leaving the building. As Lucy stared straight ahead, she heard Levy and Lisanna's breath speed up. Mira sweated and tried to see Lucy's face, but she could only see the blonde's amused brown eyes. Natsu clutched at the table as he tried to calm down. Gray and Jellal swallowed a lump in their throats, their eyes glued to the spot where Lucy was before the lights went out.
"It's just the dark, what's wrong with the dark?" Lucy said and her voice was different. So cruel, evil and filled with amusement.
"Lucy, this isn't funny," Jellal said in a hard tone. He had tried his best not to stutter.
"It is to me," Lucy said and chuckled, sending chills down everyone's spines. "Leave now if you want to be freed of this horrid nightmare," she added and straightened herself, looking down at the gang who still couldn't see her.
"What nightmare?" Mira whispered fearfully.
The clouds in the sky uncovered the moon and they saw Lucy's impassive face. Her lips twitched upwards and she smirked, "A nightmare you'd never forget."
Zen came and tapped her shoulder, "Lucy-sama, it's time to leave."
The blonde's smirk fell and she yawned loudly, annoying Jellal. "Hnn, let's go," she said and took off the frilly headband. Before the door of the café closed, she snapped her fingers and the lights went back as soon as the door closed shut.
Levy clutched her head and continued sipping her shake, fear present in her eyes. Lisanna rubbed her back soothingly and cooed words in the bluenette's ear. Jellal and Gray exhaled loudly and Gajeel grunted before talking, "Was that really her?"
Laxus looked at Gajeel, "Looked like it. I don't think that's her though. Or it can be really her."
"Wait, I'm confused, what do you mean?" Gray asked and the blonde man sighed.
"It's not her because of the personality. Well sure she still has that blunt look, but dude, her voice was creepy as the sound of the creaking doors in my previous home. Anyway, that Lucy may also be the real one," Laxus said and Gray frowned.
"Impossible…" Jellal said, not believing every word that Laxus had said.
Mira frowned sadly, "We'll just have to forget this for now. We have to go home! It's already so late."
Jellal frowned, "Right."
The Next Day (At School)
Chatters filled the hallways, laughs and yells were thrown. However, Jellal and the gang were just sitting in the Student Council Room, numb and still frightened from what they experienced yesterday. "We need to get these papers done," Jellal mumbled and massaged his temples. His head throbbed and he groaned.
A student suddenly knocked on the door. "Come in," Erza said for Jellal. The door opened and a student came in.
"L-Lucy Heartfilia asked me to give this to you," he said and placed the small bottle on Jellal's desk. He bowed respectfully and looked at him one more time before closing the door.
"S-She also says 'Fear me'."
Jellal blinked as the door closed. He looked back at the small bottle filled with tablets. His eyes widened as he realized it was Aspirin. He took one and grabbed his water bottle from under his desk. He drank the tablet and sighed in relief. He closed his eyes.

"Wait, how did she know that my head was hurting?"
Jellal's eyes widened and stopped himself from puking .What if they weren't Aspirin at all? What if it were tablets filled with poison! Or worse—
"Chill, that's just Aspirin," Lucy's blunt voice echoed and everyone fell silent.
Jellal looked at Lucy, who leaned against the frame of the doorway. Her side bangs covered her left eye as she tilted her head a little downwards. Erza and Laxus looked at each other, a bemused look on their faces. Levy's breath hitched and Lisanna tried her best to calm the bluenette down. Gray looked at Jellal with fiery eyes while Natsu and Loke shuddered.
"Yo," Lucy mumbled and watched as different emotions flickered in everyone's eyes. She raised a brow in amusement and watched Jellal grip his pen tighter, trying his best not to yell at her on the spot. He could, but he had to confirm everything first.
"What were you doing at that café yesterday?" Laxus was the first to ask. Jellal glared at him and sighed, ignoring the snicker he got from Natsu who got smacked by Loke.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked, raising her brow higher.
"Wait, you were at that café right?" Laxus asked again, and Lucy nodded.
"I work there, duh. You saw me wearing the uniform right? Why ask?" Lucy bluntly asked and Jellal nearly broke his pen in half. Lucy looked at him from the corner of her eye and he felt his stomach twist.
"Who was that… guy with you?" Laxus asked. Lucy pressed her lips together and started debating in her head: Be honest, or lie?
"Just a waiter," Lucy mumbled and ignored her aching head. She let out a long, low sigh and took out her hand from the pocket of her skirt and clutched her head. Erza's eyes widened as she heard Lucy moan lowly from the pain.
"Hey Jellal, pass that bottle of Aspirin to Heartfilia-san, she looks like she has a headache," the redhead instructed. The President nodded and stood up to give the bottle to Lucy. The blonde girl watched Jellal walk to her as she breathes in shakily, her hands and knees shaking. Lucy leaned on the doorframe harder as she tried to support herself.
"Here," Jellal mumbled and stretched his hand out to her. Lucy shakily took the bottle of Aspirin. She popped open the lid by her thumb and tapped it on her lip, one tablet dropping on her tongue. She took a water bottle from Jellal and gladly drank it, staring at him from the corner of her eye as she did so.
"Were you scared?"
Everyone stared at Lucy who stared at them blankly, her face impassive as ever. Levy swallowed a lump in her throat as the blonde's eyes landed on her. "Were you scared?" Lucy repeated, her hooded eyes staring deeply into everyone's eyes. Jellal was the first to speak.
"I was."
Lucy looked at him, "What about them?"
Erza nodded and soon, everyone did. They were all scared of what had happened yesterday. Heck, even Laxus! He has never experienced anything like that before. It was creepy, scary, and nerve-wracking. "Good. You must fear me," Lucy mumbled and yawned, stretching her arms.
"What do you mean?" Jellal asked her. Lucy looked at him and shrugged.
"If you want to stay safe, you must fear me."
Gray walked forward and grabbed her wrist before she left the room. Gripping her wrist a little tighter, he let out a shaky breath. "Why fear you when you should fear us more?"
Lucy and Gray stared at each other and Jellal felt his heart twist. Lucy looked at him blankly and didn't struggle, nor show any signs of panic as Gray tightened his grip on her again. The blonde watched his movements, staying still. And Gray stared deeply into her eyes, trying to find something, anything. Natsu looked back and forth at Lucy and Gray, confused to the depths of his core.
Gray anticipated an answer as Lucy drew in a sharp breath. Exhaling, Lucy blew her bangs out of her eye and looked at him again, her face dead serious. She licked her pink, soft lips and closed her eyes. She opened them again and opened her mouth.
"Just fear me."
