Chapter II ( Acnologia's Return)

Lucy's pov,

Night made Magnolia look beautiful. Lights glittered and shone across the hill I stood on and even farther away I saw Fairy Tail on the other side of Magnolia, it's white and orange flag flowing in the winter breeze.

I sighed and walked into the nearby motel on the edge of Magnolia, thinking I could probably stay for one night before heading towards Crocus. Or that's what I thought anyway.

"Who was I kidding?" I muttered to myself, swinging my room key in my fingers around and around. I didn't know where I was going to go. I didn't have anywhere to go. I groaned. Probably should have thought about that before leaving I guess.

But it wasn't something to think about. I had to get out of Magnolia then. It wasn't a question. But now...

I unlocked my room and walked into the comfortable room, a small bathroom was nearest to the door and a little kitchen next to the TV and desk. A nice big bed was the centrepiece of the room. I quickly summoned Virgo and she handed my luggage over to me.

After she left I changed, took a bath and sat on the bed for a while. Where was I going really? Wasn't I suppose to get stronger? Strong enough to not rely on people on life and death situations. Strong enough to destroy the guild, every last one of them.

I sighed. That was going to be a hard job wasn't it? With the Dragon Slayers, Erza and could I actually face Lisanna after what happened? Be honest to yourself Lucy, can you even face Natsu? Or Gray or Happy? Or even Erza? After what you said about family and friendship.

"Stop it!" I scolded myself. They're not my friends anymore. They all hate me, they all took Lisanna's words over mine. I refuse to be friends with people who don't even take my own words before someone else's. Whether it was a lie or not.

Even so, you know you can't kill them, no matter how strong you are.

"Stop, stop!" I screamed clutching my head in frustration. It was my own thoughts but I couldn't stop myself from thinking about it. I turned off the lamplight next to my bed so only the moonlight streaming through the window illuminated the room. I tucked myself into the bed and closed my eyes.

I was going to figure it out somehow. Lucy Heartfilia will live on.

It was dark. I was completely alone, I almost felt blind but I could still see. I didn't know how I knew I could see. I just knew I could.

A haunting sort of feeling began to seep into my bones. Cold and dangerous. I was in forbidden territory somehow. But I couldn't get out.

"Lucy?" I heard a voice ask. I look back to see Natsu. His eyes blazing with determination from the day before, his hand was clutching onto my forgotten cloak. Suddenly, I was back in the alleyway, the snow catching onto his pink hair. "LUCY YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US!" He was yelling. I felt my heart tear into tinier pieces. My resolve to just ignore it, slowly disintegrated.

He kneeled in front of me in the ice and snow. The wind blowing his hair side to side. His tears flowed freely into the snow, making tiny drops of red here and there. Wait, red?!

I kneeled down in front of him and unconsciously touched the red liquid, the texture warm and gooey. I bought it up to my nose and sniffed. My eyes widened as I realised what it was. It was blood. I looked at Natsu again, this time he was looking at me but with blank eyes. Eyes so lost and empty.

This wasn't Natsu.

"W-who are you?" I stuttered. Natsu began to laugh hysterically his slouched form becoming a little taller then he was. His hair slowly turned pitch black with electric blue highlights. His eyes slid backwards into his skull revealing another pair of eyes. The irises were also pitch black. Natsu's scarf dried up and fell into the snow crumbling into tiny pieces, finally disintegrated into dust.

Finally, Natsu met my eyes and grinned, showing his now blindingly white teeth.

"Stop calling me by that idiot's name." The boy said slightly annoyed. I found myself stepping back from him but my back hit solid wall and I found my back pressing against a cold brick wall.

The boy grinned and stepped closer to me. "Don't be like that. I'm not going to hurt you." He whispered almost bashfully. He was closer now, so close his breath blew against my cheek. A magic so dark and so powerful seem to roll off him in waves. It gave me a had taste in the back of my throat.

My skin was pricking up and cold swear clung to my clothes. "D-don't make me hurt you." I stuttered, my hands automatically went to my belt groping for my keys. The boy grabbed my hand tightly rubbing light circles against my wrist.

"You. Don't. Want. To. Do. That." He whispered very quietly making it sound like a warning. He pressed my arm forcefully against my sides and patted my shoulder. "Good. My name is Acnologia, I presume you are the daughter of Jude and Layla Heartafilia?"

My eyes widened at the name. Acnologia."Y-your a dragon?" Acnologia shrugged. "Not exactly right now. My true form doesn't adapt very well to dreamscapes, wouldn't want to kill you in your sleep right?" I stiffened. Kill me? "So are you?" I stared at him dazed. I was in a dream with the very dragon that was the reason the whole Tenroujima incident happened. He was the reason my dad died without seeing his daughter for seven years.

"And if I am?" I asked coldly. He shrugged. "I heard you were kicked out of Fairy Tail." I gaped at him shocked. How did he know that? Of course he can, he could get into your dreams dumbass. "I was." I answered simply. He smiled. "And I assume you want revenge?" I stared at him. "I don't need your help." Acnologia laughed.

"I didn't say I was offering, girl." I blushed embarrassed. "Then what are you doing here?" "I am the dragon of Chaos, I was summoned here by the darkness in your heart." "I'm not evil." "You may not but your wishes are." I scowled. "I just want..." "Cold, sweet revenge?" Acnologia asked cutting me off.

I was silent. "You wanted to get stronger didn't you? Never to be pushed around again, never depending on someone else for your life and death. Isn't that what you wanted." I didn't even bothered to look shock this time. "Yes." I answered. "Look at you. Fine, I'll train you into the Chaos Dragon Slayer."

I stared at him. "Why are you doing this really? I thought you hated humans." Acnologia stared at me his eyes a little sad. "I don't, I can't really because I was one." I took a step back, this time the barrier broke away and I was in a war zone. Dead bodies littered the ground, the air smelt like blood, metallic. The sky tinged red with blood red sun.

"What is this?" I whispered horrified. "My memories." Acnologia answered.

Suddenly behind him a huge shape loomed across shadowing him. It let out a howl, slashing it's wings ferociously at Acnologia. Acnologia stayed human for some reason and I couldn't help but wonder. Why was he still human?

Suddenly the beast fell onto it's back with yowl. Smoke wavering out of its chest. I looked behind me expecting to see someone. A young man about my age stood there, he was tall with broad shoulders and handsome face. But then I recognise his eyes. They were a familiar empty pitch black but this time, they were glowing in triumph.

"T-that's you..." "This was the Great War between dragons. 400 hundred years ago, the world was ruled by dragons, human were nothing more but food. I was born then as a magic user. " I looked around and realised we were in green meadow. The sky was bright blue and it was a beautiful day.

Suddenly as soon as it appeared it vanished. I stared at the blood on the dirt ground."How... How could it have turned from this to this?" I asked. Acnologia shrugged. "It was a rebellion. A dragon with high influence over the dragon kingdom was against the cruelty against humans and gathered other believers to overturn the practice."

"Was Igneel one of them?" I asked remembering Natsu's dragon father. Acnologia nodded. "But the non-believers were too strong so the they pulled their secret weapon. The humans." "The humans?" "Dragon slayers. They taught them the art of Dragon Slaying for each type. I was one of them. I was the Chaos Dragon Slayer."

I couldn't help but become more and more curious. "And then what happened?" "We killed them, all of them and defeated them. The dragons thought we were to have peace and harmony from then on. They were so wrong. Some of us began to rebel and out of one of them was convinced no matter what, a dragon was a dragon and must be killed."

"He killed many dragons and when he had killed too many he got what he deserved." Acnologia said a little bitterly. "What?" "He was turned into a dragon by Zeref the dark wizard." It took me a second to realise who the dragon was. "It was you?" Acnologia grinned slightly but didn't answer.

"And now what?" Acnologia looked up from his lean against the wall and met my gaze. "The things I've committed, the crimes... They are unforgivable. I... Want to die." I stared at him, my sick humour kicking in. "Ever thought jumping off a cliff would work just fine?"Acnologia flinched. "Many times, it's not easy to kill a dragon as it seems."

"Then how do I come into this." "I teach you my magic and you kill me, simple." "And why me?" I asked. "Your very powerful, your magical energy is enough if trained it could give even another Dragon Slayers a hard bargain." I crossed my arms across my chest. "And if I don't kill you? ""Why wouldn't you?" Acnologia answered. I was silent as I straightened, I walked over to him and nodded. "Ok, but I don't promise anything." "And I, you dear student."

I nodded. "And when do we begin?" Acnologia grinned widely. "Every time you fall asleep."

It was around 5am when I woke up that morning. The dream etched into my memory. It was still dark outside so I tried to get back to sleep, about ten minutes of failed attempts I thought it was good time to wake up.

I pulled my tooth brush and tooth paste and walked to the bathroom. But as I did I noticed something off. I had a tattoo.

I stared at it in total shock. Toothpaste dripping out my mouth. The mark began at the back of my right hand and up into my shirt's sleeves. I ripped my shirt off and stared as the the intricate lines looped across my shoulders and chest to the side of my neck. It was a black and electric blue tattoo, just like Acnologia. It had an intricate pattern that criss crossed over it self at the beginning and wrapped around my wrist like ribbon.

I stroked it distractedly, Acnologia's words echoing in my head. Chaos Dragon Slayer. So he wasn't lying. It was all true.

I quickly brushed my teeth and got dressed and packed. I couldn't help but feel... Disturbed. If Acnologia could get into my dreams and put tattoos on me... Exactly who am I dealing with?

Hope you enjoyed! Read and review!
