Disclaimer... I do not own Fairy Tail.
Chapter 14
At Sabertooth's Training Grounds... Cont.
Lucy's POV
As Minerva and I sat near the fire-pit, we discussed what had happened earlier with Fairy Tail, our sisters and where do we go from here. As I poked at the fire-pit with a stick I had found my mind wandered to what Mom had said about our sisters and I wondered, 'if we find them, how do we deal with them and what can we tell them... NO... what should we tell them?' I sighed as I looked up hearing voices coming from the barrier.
"Minerva! What's the meaning of all of this today?" Sting said as he quickly walked up to our campsite and stood in front of us with his arms crossed, glaring at us as if we had destroyed his world.
"I don't know what you're referring to... BUT... I do know that I warned you and everyone else to stay away for a week," Minerva said as she slowly rose to her feet and proudly put her hands on her hips as she waited for Stings response but he quickly cowarded and hung his head. Even as the new guild Master, he still feared Minerva's wrath as did everyone who met her.
"I have keep everyone away. Just remember that Minerva, I..." Sting said as Minerva tilted her head and shot Sting a deadly glare forcing him to quickly become quiet.
"I'm the guild master here! So I should be exempt from that... right!" Sting nervously said as he turned to the entrance of the training ground and motioned for someone to enter. "First Fairy Tail shows up... then they leave cursing us... next the Magic Council show up AND ORDERS ME to make some weird girl a member... and then Yukino shows up with a small girl and her Exceed and tells me that you said to make her a member... What's that all about?" Sting said as he anxiously stared at Minerva.
"Ya! So what's the problem?" Minerva smirked as she folded her arms across her chest and waited intently for a reply, tapping her foot while ready to pounce at an unfavorable response. "Well! WHAT IS IT?" she shouted.
"Never mind!" He said as he threw his hands up and turned to leave. As he did so he hooked his foot in my chair and myself, Sting and the chair all took a tumble to the ground. As I laid on my back with my eyes closed... grimacing with pain as the chair jabbed into my back, I could feel a weight pushing down against my body and something softly pressed against my lips. I slowly opened my eyes to see a blonde dragon slayer with a shocked look upon his face as he quickly pulled away, all the while shaking his head as if to say - It wasn't me!
"I'm sorry Lucy... it was an accident!" Sting said as we both got up to our feet. As my mind started to clear from the fall, I realized two things; one... my face was flushed with embarrassment and two... that was my first kiss...
"K-KI-KISS!" I mumbled as I stared at Sting who had his hands clasped and was now begging for forgiveness. I looked at Minerva who was trying to keep from laughing at me and my weird predicament. As I eyed Sting, my embarrassing predicament caused my anger grew as I tried to say, "t-that w-was my-my F-FIRST K-KI... LUCY KICK!" I yelled as I spun around and kicked Sting in the chest. As my foot made contact I unconsciously opened a spacial portal and sent him back to where he had entered the training grounds... crashing through the barrier. As he disappeared from sight I dropped to the ground and covered my face while Minerva burst out laughing.
"AND DON"T COME BACK!" Minerva shouted at Sting, who by now would be too embarrassed to return even if he could muster the energy to try. "Little Sister get up! It was just an accident... besides Wendy and Carla are here," Minerva said as I raised my head hoping my embarrassment wasn't showing, but it was written all over my face in bright red... all for the world to see.
Wendy's POV
"Minerva-san what's wrong with Lucy-san... did he hurt her?" I said as I looked at Lucy who had a red face.
Minerva kneeled down in front of me and held my hand and explained that, "Lucy was fine, she's a little embarrassed, that's all... She and Sting KISSED!" she said as she laughed and teased Lucy. "AH! Okay!" I said as I wondered what was so bad about that.
"So Wendy, Carla, how did it go?" Lucy said as she stood up and patted her cheeks and smiled at me.
"It went good, really good! They asked who we were and what magic we used. I said I was an Exceed, which was obvious and I also said I have future sight and they thought that was interesting... But when they found out that Wendy was a Sky Dragon Slayer, the place went nuts. Everyone was cheering and a man in a funny hat said "Now we have three Dradon Slayers!" Master Eucliffe gave us our stamps and welcomed us to Sabertooth. Look!" Carla said as she pointed to hers and Wendys arms.
"They all seemed scary at first but when we got our stamps they were really nice to us, except for the big man with the green hair. He picked me up and wouldn't let me go so I gave him a Lucy Kick and ran out the door," I said as I shuttered thinking about it.
Minerva patted me on the head and said, "Don't worry Wendy-chan, I'll have a talk with Orga when I get back... he won't bother you again," she smiled at me and paused... "That's very odd, Orga is usually very quiet. Maybe he likes you Wendy," Minerva said and then her face scrunched up, "I'll Kill him!"
"Calm down sister... he was probably just being friendly," Lucy said as she looked around as if she was searching for something or someone.
"AH! Are you looking for Yukino-san," I said as Lucy nodded yes. "Lucy-san, Yukino-san is just outside the barrier... she has someone with her. I need you to be nice... Okay?" Lucy looked at me with a confused expression and agreed to be calm.
"YUKINO-SAN... COME IN!" I yelled as loud as I could as Yukino walked through the barrier followed by another girl. As the second girl got nearer you could make out that she had light hair similar to Yukino and her taste in fashion was also the same... perhaps a bit more flamboyant, bordering on Rufusesque.
"A-ANGEL!" Lucy said as she pointed her finger at Angel, "But How? How is she here? She should be in prison!" Lucy grabbed her pendant and yelled "GROW" as her staff appeared before her, her hands trembled as she held her staff.
"Calm down Little Sister!" Minerva said.
"Lucy-san... Angel-san is now a member of Sabertooth," I said as I placed my hand on hers, but Lucy pulled her hand back and prepared to attack.
"Lucy! LUCY! Snap out of it. We need her here... REMEMBER!" Minerva said as she stepped between Lucy and the approaching Angel. "Calm down... Dam it!"
"I can't... she tried to kill me and she was mean to Aries and Gemini, AND no one hurts my friends," Lucy said as she pointed her staff at Angel as her eyes became clouded and lifeless. She pushed Minerva to the ground and with an evil smirk she prepared to attack.
I was scared as I reached down to help Minerva up, she leaned in and whispered, "Don't worry sweety Lucy's fine... she's just a little scared now. I'll help her!" Minerva said with a smile as she grabbed her pearls and shouted "Grow" and her staff apeared in her hand.
Minerva stood in front of Lucy and smirked as her hand went flying through the air hitting Lucy squarely in the face. "LUCY! Snap out of it," she roared as Lucy shook her head and looked at Minerva with tears in her eyes.
"Sister! What happened to me... I wanted to kill her!" Lucy said as she dropped to the ground crying like a baby.
Minerva dropped down to her knees and pulled Lucy into a tight hug. "I'm sorry Lucy, I had to hit you. That's the same thing that happened to me earlier," Minerva said as she started to cry as well, "I'm sorry!"
"Minerva... What's wrong with us? Why would we want to hurt people?" Lucy said as she hung her head on Minerva's shoulder.
"I think this has something to do with Mom... I wish she was still here," Minerva said as she pulled back and looked around. She saw a very nervous Angel hiding behind Yukino who was also very scared by now. "It's alright you two! Come on up here now... Lucy won't hurt you now!" Minerva said as Lucy nodded her head.
As Yukino and Angel approached us I caught a familiar scent. It was a smell that stirred up a deep feeling of contentment. It seemed to scream to the bottom of my very soul... A smell so powerful it felt like home. I started walking... following the scent as it lead me to just behind Yukino and Angel. Even though there was nothing there my scenes were screaming at me, telling me that someone was close. "Momma!" I cried out.
Morgana's POV
Sniff! Sniff! The little blue haired girl Wendy stood up and walked towards us, as she looked around with a confused expression. I had a feeling that she knew that I was here. 'Even though we're invisible, she seems to have sensed us and I felt so happy that even after all these years she could still sense who I was,' I though as I smiled proudly. "Momma!" She said as she fell to her knees and started to cry.
I looked at Emrys and he smiled and nodded. I drew in a large breath, filling my lungs and exhaled to calm my nerves as we both removed our invisibility spell and slowly appeared before a crying Wendy. I keeled down and picked her up and hugged her. She seemed to calm down almost instantaneously.
"Who are you?" she asked as she wiped her tears from her face.
"Sweetheart... I'm your Mamma... And you're M-My Prec-ious B-Ba-by!" I said as I started crying tears of joy... After countless centuries I now have one of my precious babies in my arms. I turned to Emrys as tears ran down my face and I smiled like a fool.
Emrys reached over and put his hand on mine and Wendy's head and said, "congratulations Morgana! You deserve this my dear."
"Thank you," I said with a smile as I looked down at a very confused little cat. I knelled down and smiled at the little white cat, "and who might you be sweetheart?"
"I'm Carla, Wendy's friend... it's a pleasure to meet you mam," The white cat said as I opened my arms and welcomed her into my embrace.
"The pleasure is all mine Carla... and please call me Momma. You are Wendy's precious friend so you are my daughter as well," I said as she hugged me as well.
"Are you really Wendy's Momma? For real?" Carla said as she buried her face into my chest.
"Yes dear I really am... now lets go see the others," I said as I stood up and walked with to my other children with my two babies in my arms, as Lucy and Minerva finally took noticed of me.
"Momma!" they both shouted and ran to me and hugged the three of us.
"Momma... There's something wrong with me... I'm scared," Lucy cried as I patted her head.
"Layla, sorry! Minerva I should say... and you two over there let's sit by the fire-pit and have a talk. There are some things I need to tell you all and we don't have much time," I said as we all walked over to Emrys, who was busy removing the chairs. We all sat down on the grass near the firepit and I proceeded to smile as I looked at my children.
I sat with my legs crossed and Wendy sat on my knees with Carla on hers. 'Hmmm! this feels so nice,' I thought. Minerva and Lucy sat in front of me and Emrys sat beside me. I looked up and saw Yukino and Angel standing back, holding hands.
"You two come over here as well... this also involves you," I said as they looked at each other as if they were trying to determine their next move. "YUKINO! sit there by Minerva... ANGEL! sit by Lucy," I said as they still looked confused. "NOW!" I roared as Wendy flinched. "Sorry dear, I didn't mean to scare you," I whispered into her ear. "NOW SIT!"
"Who are you people? and why the hell am I here?" Angel demanded.
"QUIET CHILD!" Emrys roared as Angel slinked back.
"Thank you dear," I said as I patted his leg and he winked at me. "I'll explain everything in a few minutes... but for now please remain quiet. This is difficult to say!"
"La... I mean Minerva, you and Lucy... Well... I had hopped I could avoid telling you this but it seems I have no choice but to tell you the whole truth!" I said as I took a deep breath and sighed as I held Wendy tighter for support. "Girls, you remember the stories I told you last night about us," I said as I watched for them to nod in agreement and they did. "Well... I left one thing out, one very important thing. I had hoped I could avoid telling you this..."
"It's alright Morgana... go ahead they will understand," Emrys said as he motioned for me to be brave and just say it.
"Okay! Here goes! At one time I was known as the Goddess of War or the Death Goddess as some liked to called me. I think that's pretty self explanatory but I caused plenty of death and destruction many years ago and to be honest I enjoyed it... It's who I was... No! Who I am and I won't appologize for any of that but I do feel bad that as my daughters you all inherited more than just some of my powers... you also inherited that part of me as well," I paused as I sighed, looking for the courage to continue.
"Mother... please go on," Minerva said as she listened intently.
"You two must remember that you are also as much your Father's child as you are mine so you also have demon blood coursing through your veins... so because of that our dark side will be more prevalent in you and Lucy, a lot more so than your sisters who have a different father. Lucy... Minerva... I know it's scary but over time you will learn to control that side of your nature and hopefully you may even embrace it. I told you before I left, that you two must be there for each other, not just because you are sisters but because you will be able to support each other when you have issues," I said as I kissed Wendy's head.
"We'll try," Lucy said as she turned to Minerva who held her hand and nodded yes.
"Remember... If you let it control you... you can kill someone. That power will always be with you and as I said before... no power can give life once it's been extinguished," I said as they looked concerned. "Don't worry you two... you both have good hearts. You'll be fine!" I smiled. "Okay!" They both nodded and smiled for me. "Good!" I said with a smile.
"Now on to you three... We have to leave very soon so I'll quickly tell you what I can and I also have some gifts to give you three. I'll leave all the details to Lucy and Minerva to explain after we leave but don't worry we will be back again very soon and we'll talk more then," I smiled as I looked to Lucy and Minerva for support.
"Angel, Yukino... you both have a younger sister that I only just found out about..." I said as they looked at each other with confusion before Yukino sighed and started to speak.
"I'm sorry but that's not possible, Mother and Father died during a raid on our village. If it wasn't for Onee-chan I might be dead as well," Yukino said as she looked at Angel who looked to be ready to cry.
"No! That is incorrect.. your parents were found and saved by some kind strangers who happened by later. They were nursed back to health and when they were healthy, they searched for you for a several years before finally giving up. They had another daughter a little later and a couple of years after that they were killed in a similar raid to the one that had separated you from them. Your younger sister was found and raised by a Dragon and eventually ended up sitting here in my arms... Angel, Yukino this is your younger sister Wendy," I proudly said as I rested my chin on Wendy's head and smiled at Yukino and Angel.
"I really want to believe you but that story seems way to far fetched... I-I watched them die with my own eyes... I don't know... I'm too confused," Angel said as she hung her head as a lone tear trickled down her cheek.
"Angel, Yukino please kneel in front of Emrys for a moment... girls would you mind standing for a minutes," I said as I watched Lucy and Minerva rise to their feet and Angel and Yukino shrug their shoulders and move in front of Emrys, kneeling before him.
"Like this!" Yukino said as I smiled and nodded.
"Wendy dear, would you please sit in Emrys's lap for a few moments... he's going to show your sisters what you remember of your parents... Okay?" I said as she looked back up at me with trepidation. "It's alright sweety he would never harm you," I kissed her cheek and she got up and sat in Emrys's lap.
"Wendy! My dear precious girl... I've known you for so long, so I would never hurt you," Wendy smiled at him and Emrys reached out and placed a hand on Angel and Yukino's head and then lowered his head and rested it against Wendy's head. "Don't worry girls this won't take but a moment and it won't hurt at all, okay!" He said as they smiled at him.
Emrys began to glow a faint white color at first, as his mind reached out and connected with all three girls. As the seconds passed the white glow intensified and then after a moment it slowly dissipated as he smiled and released his hold on each of the girls. "Little ones... do you understand now?" He said as he grinned before being knocked over as Angel and Yukino sprang at Wendy, hugging her.
"AHHH! That's just so cute!" I squealed as I imagined I was in Emrys's position right now. All three girls were crying now as they squeezed each other.
"M-Mom! Help Me," yelled Carla who was now being crushed by three girls.
"STOP!" I screamed as I quickly reached over and pushed them apart and pulled Carla into my arms. "I'm so sorry dear... are you alright!" I said as I cradled her in my arms while she shook a little.
"I-I'm Fine! That was scary!" Carla said.
"They didn't mean that, they were just happy... they now know that what I said was true," I smiled and motioned for Lucy and Minerva to sit by my side. "Angel! Yukino! Do you understand now?" I said as they both looked up at me with tears in their eyes and smiled.
"Y-Yes... Wendy really is our sister. That was Mom and Dad we saw!" Angel said as she and Yukino sat up and wipped their tears.
"Yes she is... but there is more... SO MUCH MORE!" I said as I sighed and took a deep breath as Emrys and Wendy sat back up and turned towards me. "Girls I need your complete attention for a moment... I have something very important to tell you," I said as I looked at everyone sitting around me. "Well here goes!"
"Yukino, Angel, Wendy... I'm your real mother!" I said as I sighed with relief as this has followed me and also haunted me for eons.
Angel sprang to her feet and placed her hands on her hips and stared at me with an evil glare and spouted... "Cut the crap Lady... I just saw my Mom and Dad die and you're not her,"
I slowly rose to my feet and stepped in front of Angel. My nose only inches from hers as I snarled at her, "DO NOT EVER DISRESPECT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN... NOW SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" I screamed at her as I fumed. I looked around and stretched out my hand and released an energy blast at the barrier around the training grounds... blowing a hole in the shield, which quickly healed itself.
Emrys jumped up and tried to calm me down... "SIT DOWN!" I roared as both Emrys and Angel fell to the ground. "That's better! We don't have time for this foolishness," I said as I stared at my children and Emrys, who all looked very frightened.
"Angel we sacrificed alot to get you out of your prison, get you pardoned and have you sent here to be with your sisters... Do you really believe I would lie to you about what I just said... Are you that stupid? Perhaps I should put you back there, because you have one hell of a chip on your shoulder," I said as I stared her down and turned to Minerva. "When I leave child, they are your responsibility... love them, protect them, train them and if they cause problems disciplin them... Understood?" I said as she just nodded. "Good!" I said as I sat back down and tried to calm my nerves, as I heard mumbling from Minerva and Lucy. "WELL! What is it?"
"Dad is whipped," Lucy smirked as she turned to Minerva and they both burst out laughing. I shook my head in disbelief as I looked at Emrys who was turning red. I felt a smile grow across my face and I as well started to laugh. Within moments everyone was laughing except for Angel and Emrys.
To be continued tomorrow night...
Sorry for abruptly stopping this story here... but we are getting some weather here and I figured I better post this while I still can. The second part of this long chapter is almost complete and I'll post it tomorrow night.
I hope you enjoyed it.
