Lucy smirked and stared at Reina's horrified yet excited eyes. The cerulean-haired girl began breathing heavily, her heart thumping painfully against her chest. Jellal watched the exchange and felt goose bumps crawl over his skin. He didn't understand what was going on.
Reina gasped for air, "I d-don't believe you!" She clutched her hair in frustration in fear, pushing away Jellal's comforting hands.
"Say what you want," Lucy shrugged, "I am, after all, just telling the truth. I don't want to lie to such a cute girl like you, now would I?"
Reina stumbled backwards and her eyes widened in shock. A strange burst of energy awakened inside of her and she ran. She ran.
Jellal looked just as surprised as Lucy when Reina suddenly ran towards her. She prepared for a slap or hits but none came as she felt arms wrap around her.
Lucy went rigid as the cerulean-haired girl's arms wrapped around her, giving the blonde a tight and warm hug. Reina clasped her hands together and snuggled her face against Lucy's neck, tears threatening to cry but not to.
"What are you doing Reina?" Jellal asked, eyeing his little sister with great confusion.
Lucy looked at the young girl's hair and just wrapped one arm around her, the other supporting their weight. She patted Reina's hair and stared at the ceiling impassively, a sigh escaping her lips.
"If you think I'm her, then you're wrong," Lucy said and Reina went rigid.
The young Fernandez looked up at the blonde with wide eyes, "B-But you look like her!" A shriek escaped her lips, "You look like her!"
Jellal nearly yelled in confusion, he didn't understand what was going on! He didn't want to know, yet he urged to find out. He wanted to know, no, he needed to know why Reina suddenly hugged Lucy for he knew she wasn't the type to hug a stranger.
Lucy stared at Reina with a blank look on her face. "With your intelligence, you might have guessed by now why I look like her. I'm sorry that you were disappointed, but I'm merely a girl who inherited her looks," she said and shrugged. "It's natural, isn't it?"
Reina opened and closed her mouth, speechless. Finally, after a few minutes, she slumped on Lucy's lap. "Maybe you're not her, but you are still the girl in my dreams. You're her!" she exclaimed and sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Lucy raised a brow, "For a young girl, you sure do act like an adult."
"She's like that. I think it's because she's smart. They say that her intelligence has infected her personality," Jellal said, sitting on the couch across from the two. "But I'm surprised. I have never seen Reina act like a child until now."
Lucy looked at Reina and shrugged, "Well… expect the unexpected."
Reina slowly got off of Lucy and sat beside her, leaning on the back of the couch. "Why are you here by the way?" she asked, staring at the blonde.
"I told her that I would help her study for the exams," Jellal said, giving Lucy a sharp look.
Lucy rolled her eyes, "I can speak, thank you." The blonde sighed and massaged her forehead, "But yes, I am here to study."
Reina smiled in amusement as she watched the exchange between the two classmates, one looking smug while the other looked angry. However, just as they were about to go upstairs to study, she suddenly had an idea.
"Wait!" Reina yelled, grabbing Lucy's wrist.
The blonde raised a brow, "What?"
The cerulean-haired girl grinned uncharacteristically, "Teach me how to fight."
Jellal sighed as he leaned against the wall, staring at Lucy and Reina who both faced each other, determined looks on their faces. Neither looked like they were going to go easy, but neither also looked like they wanted to hurt each other – but he wasn't so sure about that for Lucy.
"Don't hurt my sister will you," Jellal yelled a little, making Lucy's ears perk.
She smirked and nodded, stuffing her other hand in the pocket of her skirt. "I'll let you make the first move," she said and Reina nodded.
Reina ran towards Lucy, her foot ready to kick the blonde in the face. She bent her body down and spun with her leg up in the air, aiming to hit Lucy in the face. Reina smirked in victory but then she frowned.
"You need to do more than Judo to defeat me sweetheart," Lucy said, holding Reina's ankle just before her face.
The cerulean-haired girl sighed and back flipped to her feet, dusting off the dirt from her Judo uniform. She stared at Lucy's smirk and gave off a smirk of her own, "Alright then."
"You make the move this ti—"
Lucy ran and ended up behind Reina, a small evil grin forming on her face. "You're too slow sweetie, in battle, there is never a time to wait and talk," she said and Reina turned around to punch her. The blonde ducked and crouched before swinging her foot against Reina's.
The young girl fell and landed on her palms. On fours, she ran like a tiger and flung herself at Lucy who jumped out of the way, landing right in front of Jellal.
"I told you to go easy," he hissed, a vein popping on his forehead.
Lucy rolled her eyes, "She didn't even get hurt. Relax."
Jellal groaned and was about to say something when Lucy suddenly jumped up and slammed her hand on his shoulder for support. "Sorry but I can't talk right now," she said. Her feet landed on the wall and she pushed, just passing Reina over her head as she landed on her feet behind the female bluenette.
Reina turned around and chased after her, two pairs of feet dashing against the floor loudly. She slid on the floor with her foot out, ready to trip Lucy.
The blonde jumped up and grabbed on the metal bars on the ceiling. She began swinging herself and with great strength, she let go and aimed to hit Reina on the face.
The cerulean-haired girl widened her eyes and narrowed them after, grabbing Lucy's feet and throwing her to the side. She watched Lucy land on her knee and foot, one arm sliding across the floor as she bumped against the wall.
"Well, that was harsh, don't you think?" Lucy said with a smirk on her face. She made a running stance and dashed after Reina who went into a fighting stance, ready to defend herself.
Lucy swung her feet and somersaulted, her hands grabbing Reina's ankle. Her foot hit the side of Reina's arm and the blonde supported herself by one arm as she threw Reina behind her. Lucy's body fell on the floor and she hissed, "Damn she's heavy."
Jellal grinned and shook his head.
"You can't lose focus while fighting. Distraction is your enemy's biggest advantage against you," Lucy said, finally starting to teach Reina how to fight. "As soon as you get distracted, I assure you, you will lose," she said and bended backwards as Reina swung her leg.
Reina began breathing heavily; sweat dripping down from her chin. She didn't understand why Lucy still had so much energy, she wasn't even sweating yet.
"Tired yet?" Lucy asked, her face bearing no emotion.
"No."
Reina charged at Lucy and the blonde moved into a fighting stance. As soon as Reina tried to punch Lucy, she caught her hand and Reina tried to punch her with her other hand, but it was caught once again. The cerulean-haired girl struggled to get out of Lucy's grasp as she kicked at the blonde's legs, and Lucy locked them in place with her own.
Lucy gently rubbed Reina's knuckles. "You're tired," she said and blew hot air on her fingers. "And you're cold," the blonde said, tsking.
"I can't teach you anymore if you're tired. I wouldn't want to drive you tired, now would I?" Lucy said and smiled gently – and scoffed at herself for being too soft – at Reina who hyperventilated.
"B-But," Reina paused to breathe heavily, "I n-need to train more!"
Lucy raised a brow, "What for? It's not like you're being chased by a gang now, are you?"
The cerulean-haired girl stayed silent and looked at Jellal, begging him for Lucy to continue training her with her eyes.
Jellal mentally laughed and just shook his head, a smile on his face. "You need to rest Reina. Plus I have to help Lucy study," he hissed the last word and he glared at Lucy who rolled her eyes.
"Right, right, I have to study too Reina," Lucy said and smiled innocently, then glared at Jellal after.
Reina stared back and forth at Jellal and Lucy, giving in a sigh of defeat. "Fine," she said and stared at the floor. "Have fun studying!" she said and smiled at Lucy who sighed in annoyance.
"I'll try to, kiddo, see ya," the blonde said and smirked before following Jellal out of the room.
"Do you remember how to solve in Calculus now?" Jellal asked, a vein twitching on his forehead as he stared at Lucy who nodded absentmindedly.
"I know how to solve problems like that Jellal, I'm just too lazy too," the blonde mumbled and stared out the window. "Plus you have to show the long solution blah, blah. If it wasn't like that, I would have solved it in my own way, it's faster and easier."
"Oh really?" Jellal raised a brow, "Here's a problem. Solve it in your own way and I'll see if you got it right."
Lucy took the piece of paper and took out her pencil, immediately writing on the paper.
Jellal stared out the window as he waited for Lucy to finish. A sigh escaped his lips and he leaned his cheek against his palm, sadness overwhelming him. I was too naïve, she'd never… Jellal bit his lip and stopped his train of thought, staring back at Lucy who tucked her hair behind her ear, bending on the bed as she wrote on the paper, like a cat.
After two minutes, Lucy leaned backwards and sat properly on the bed, handing Jellal the paper. She stifled a yawn and just covered her mouth with her hand, stretching her arms after.
Lucy then blinked and stared at Jellal, realizing that he hadn't commented yet on what she had done. But then she smirked and stared at Jellal smugly who stared at the paper wide-eyed.
"You got it right! I don't get how you did it but you did it! You solved it!" the bluenette exclaimed in surprised, his eyebrows raised.
Lucy shrugged, "It's a gift."
Jellal stared at the paper one last time before giving it back to Lucy, "Well you're lucky. You're a genius you know, you're just lazy."
Lucy smiled smugly, "I know."
"Bye, bye Lucy-san," Reina said and smiled. Her smile faltered after and she stared at the sky blankly.
"I'll see you tomorrow Heartfilia," Jellal said and gave her another piece of paper.
Lucy took the small ripped paper and opened it with her right hand, raising a brow after. She stared at Jellal for confirmation and he looked away shyly. She smirked, "Right. Bye."
"Are you sure? Are you really sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Now stop bugging me or else."
"B-But what if we get caught? Hime-sama, you know how much dangerous it is to teach a child how you fight! What were you thinking?!"
"I won't get caught. She said I was in her dreams, so it's fine. She must have thought I was her."
"Her, as in your mother?"
Snap!
The woman glared at the quivering girl from her bangs. "Never speak of my mother when I'm here and when I'm not," she growled and turned to look back outside the window. "I swore, I swore it on my life," she hissed.
"I swore that I would get back her second child even it cost my life. And to hell I know it will."
The girl blinked back her frightened tears, "B-BUT Hime-sama, she has a guardian. It's her step-brother, right?" A hiss made her squeak.
"Yes… and I don't know if I can get her anymore with him around."
"Then… what do you plan t-to do?" the girl asked once again, wincing as the woman covered her face by her arms and clutched her hair.
"I know I can't do it…" the woman whispered and paused, gritting her teeth.
"But the only way to get her back is to kill."
