Chapter 12 - What happened?

"WHAT?"

"Lucy, lower your voice." – Jude warned her and Lucy yanked her hand away from the guy.

"Father, you can't do this."

"Oh yes, I can. I'm sorry, Celes, Loke, about my daughter's manners. Lucy, go change into something more appropriate and join us, now." – He said decisively, leaving no room for argument.

"But father-"

"That's an order, Lucy." – He gestured Caprico – who had appeared behind Lucy the moment he heard her shout – to lead the guests to the living room. Lucy frowned, but bowed nonetheless. She stormed off to her room with Virgo following closely behind. Lucy slammed the door open and threw herself on her bed.

"He got me a fiancé? Urggg... What am I gonna do?" – Lucy cried out, burying her face in a pillow. Virgo quickly pulled out a dress from the closet for her to change.

"You just have to take it easy, Hime, maybe you'll like him." – Virgo beamed, but it just made Lucy feel even worse. No, I won't like him, I… like somebody else. Lucy pouted. Aarggg… No, no, no, don't think about that at this time, you have something more important to worry over right now, remember?

She took a deep breath, then grabbed a white and pink Victorian style dress that Virgo handed her. Her father always wanted Lucy to wear that kind of clothes when they had some important guests. What's wrong with my uniform? This dress is so… Heavy. Lucy scowled, finding it hard to breath when the dress clasped around her waist tightly.

Maybe I should call the boys and talk to them. She thought. They might want to know what I have found out. Concealing an enemy and not knowing who she is? That's dangerous.

"Virgo, my phone… And you can go now, I'll be down in a minute." – Virgo tied the bow behind her back and handed her lady the phone. She bowed to Lucy, then left.

Lucy quickly dialed the number of Rogue, but he didn't pick up. She tried again, this time with Sting's number, but there was still no answer.

"Okay, recruits, this day is the day that you've been waiting for, right? Show us what you got." – Sting's voice echoed. He and Rogue were selecting some new players for the team.

"Hump… Pretty good, huh?" – Rogue raised his brows at the first recruit's trial, not so bad for some freshmen.

"Yeah, but they still need to improve a lot." – Sting nodded.

*Toot toot toot*

Lucy sighed. Seriously? She pressed the number of Weisslogia's cell, but again…

"URGG, WHY IS NOBODY ANSWERING ME?" – She cried out. Luckily, her room was sound-proof. She was pacing back and forth when Aries walked in.

"Lucy-sama, are you done yet? Jude-sama requires your presence immediately." – The blonde inhaled deeply, then exhaled and nodded at her. Okay, calm down, everything's gonna be fine. Maybe they haven't come home yet. What's more, Hazumi doesn't know that I have found out about her past yet, so just pretend that everything's fine.

Lucy took a deep breath and walked down the hall to the living room. She didn't know why her father had to buy this big mansion, so big that it was freaking tiring to walk from the living room to her room, to the kitchen… Actually, to every other place as well. Virgo was waiting for her outside. When the servant saw the girl, she pushed the door open and Lucy forced a smile at her father's guests.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Celes and…"

"Loke." – Her new fiancé smirked sweetly.

"Loke. Nice to meet you."

She sat next down on the couch, next to her father. Lucy was calm outside but inside, she was freaking out. She was only 17 for God's sake, she didn't want to get married at this age, it's… Unhealthy and simply not right.

"Lucy, Mr. Celes and I are business colleagues. And his son, Loke, is a very famous model."

"I know, father, how could I not? He was in my perfect boyfriend list a long time ago." –Loke grinned at her when he heard that. His ego had its chance to boost again. - "Really?"

"Wait, you said 'was'? " – He hesitated.

"Yes, I crossed out your name after you got into a fight at a bar a year ago." – Lucy took a sip from her tea cup and smiled wryly at him. He laughed lightly.

Loke was very handsome with orange spiky hair and hazel eyes. He had the charisma and many fangirls. Lucy used to be one of them, but that was in the past. She disliked fighting very much, so he was out of her interest list after she read about it on Wizard Magazine.

"Oh, what a shame, but… I never wanted to be your boyfriend anyway, that's why I'm here, right, miss Lucy?" – He winked. Lucy inwardly rolled her eyes, but didn't snap back.

Great, for 17 years I've never had a boyfriend and now, out of the blue, I have a fiancé.

"Lucy, Loke asked me for your hand in marriage, it was his own will and I agreed. I think you two are very well-matched." – Jude said and Celes nodded in approval.

"Well-matched? You agreed without even asking about my opinion?" – How dare they sit there and decide on my future on their own? She thought angrily.

"Well, I think you should agree, too. Loke is my friend's son, he said he's loved you for a very long time and this is his wish. I've never seen you in a relationship before, so this is perfect. You can get to know him after your official engagement." – He said nonchalantly like he was talking about weather. It was his only daughter's future and he talked about it… Like weather. Lucy rubbed her forehead tiredly. Oh my God.

"Lucy, I know it sounds crazy to you, but I'm sure my son could bring you the happiness that you deserve." – Celes coaxed and she scowled. Your son is a mere womanizer, Mister.

"Mr Celes, father, and Loke, I'm so sorry for what I'm gonna say next. Yet, I'll do it anyway." – Lucy stood up, inhaled, and said on one breath.

"I'm… Honored to be offered to marry Loke, but his is my future, not yours, so don't just sit there and tell me what to do. First: I'm not old enough to marry, or even think about the marriage. Second: Loke, we don't even know each other, and third: I already have my eyes on someone else, so this is a no from me. Now, if you're excuse me, I have something more important to do." – Lucy deadpanned and turned around to leave.

Her father face became white, this was the first time his daughter dared to embarrass him in front of his guests. He glanced at Celes and saw him almost dropped his jaw on the ground, Loke looked like he was trying not to laugh out loud. Blood rushed to his face and his fists were clenched, he stood up and called after her.

"Lucy, get back here, that is impolite-" – Jude said, but he was cut short by Celes.

"It's okay, Jude, maybe she just needs some time to think it over." – Celes shook his head slightly. Jude looked at his daughter but she already disappeared behind the door, he sighed and sat down again.

"Woa, she's got the spirit, that's what I'm talking about!" – Loke commented. He didn't mind waiting, he had waited for 7 years, he could wait a little longer.

Lucy, I finally met you again. He grinned.

"Come on, get away from me, you stupid dress!" – Lucy murmured. She put on her white shorts skirt and pink tank top, then tied her hair high up with a yellow ribbon.

"Virgo, where's my mother?" – She grabbed her phone and dialed the number of Weisslogia again.

"Eeehhh, she's… In… The hospital, Hime." – Virgo said that last part quietly. Lucy's eyes widened and she spun around.

"WHAT? She's in the hospital and nobody told me? What happened to her?" – Lucy cried out. Her mother was in the hospital and here her father was, staying at home and telling her that he got her a fiancé.

"I'm so sorry, Hime, I forgot. Please, just punish me." – She said nonchalantly and Lucy facepalmed.

"What happened to my mother, Virgo?" – Lucy shouted and shook Virgo's shoulder real hard.

"She sprained her ankle when she was gardening, Hime. And Jude-sama insisted that she must stay at the hospital. But other than that, I think she's fine." – Virgo bowed again and Lucy sighed with relief.

Thank God. Lucy didn't know how she would live if something bad happened to her mother. I'll visit her after I'm done with this mess.

"Okay, thank you, Virgo. I have to go now, bye." – She hugged her maid, then ran out of the room. She needed to get out of here as soon as possible, her father must be really mad at her right now. Once again, she pulled out the cell phone and tried calling Weisslogia.

I wonder if mama agreed to this or not. Maybe not, she always said that she want me to be happy, this arranged marriage is not something sounds… happy. C'mon, uncle, pick up the phone.

Lucy slowed her pace. There was no need to rush, she had to think first.

'Hello.'

"Oh thank God, uncle, there's something I need to tell you."

'Lucy? Okay, what's wrong?'

"Where are you uncle? It's too loud, are you home?"

'No, I'm at the company Lucy, we're celebrating 10 years of the foundation.' – The noise died down, maybe he moved to where it was quieter.

"Uncle, is Hazumi there?" – She hoped not, Lucy didn't want to say this to Weisslogia with her presence in front of him.

'No, she's home, she said that she was tired so she didn't come. Lucy what's wrong?'

"Uncle…" – Lucy bit her lip. Should I tell him now or should I wait? - "You have to believe me when I say this to you…" – Okay, no turning back now, don't hesitate. – "I had my butler find some information about Hazumi and… We found out that she was married before. Uncle… Her husband was Hanes Redwood… You know who he was, right, uncle?… Uncle?" – Lucy held her breath, waiting for Weisslogia's response.

"Uncle, are you all right?" – Lucy said again, this time louder.

'Ye… Yeah, Lucy, I know… He was Sting's biological father…' - He murmured and Lucy had to try so hard to hear what he was saying.

"Uncle…"

'I have to go.' – He said swiftly and she heard nothing more but the 'toot' sound of the hung up. She sighed, then quickened her step to her friends' house. Lucy hoped that Sting and Rogue weren't home yet. She wanted to talk to that woman first.

Lucy took out her own key from her pocket. She was family to them, so they thought that it would be okay if she had their key.

"Hazumi?" – Lucy pushed the door open quietly. She had to admit that she was a little scared after she found out who Hazumi really was. According to what she had read in the file, that woman could go crazy if she didn't careful.

She looked for her in the kitchen and the living room, but Hazumi was nowhere to be found.

"Strange, her shoes are outside." – She thought, but then heard a noise from Sting's room, so she decided to check it.

"Hazu-… What do you think you're doing?" – Lucy frowned. The woman was standing in the middle of his room, contemplating herself in her hand mirror, around her neck was a locket.

"Oh, Lucy? What are you doing here, honey? I was cleaning Sting's room when I caught this under his bed, so I just… Tried it on, no big deal, right?" – She said and got back to look at herself in the mirror.

Lucy moved forwards and yanked the locket away from her.

"You're a liar, you know that, this locket belonged to aunt Belle – Sting's mother, he loves it very much and he will never let it lay under the bed. He keeps it in the drawer next to his mother's photograph. Tell me, Hazumi, you were cleaning his room, or you were rummaging around?" – Hazumi seemed stunned, Lucy was always very nice to her.

"O… kay? It's just a locket, Lucy - from his mother and she was six-feet under, I'm going to be his new mother sooner or later, don't make a fuss about this, dear." – She narrowed her eyes and Lucy glared back, folding her arms.

"I'm sorry to tell you that it's not gonna happen, not now, not ever. You're gonna be kicked out of this house sooner or later, Hazumi… Or should I say… Suzuki?" – Lucy said and Hazumi's eyes widened. She knew?

"What are you talking about, Lucy?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Suzuki, I know exactly who you are, your curtain has fallen."

She pulled the chair from Sting's desk and sat on it, facing Suzuki, who just kept staring at her blankly. Lucy opened the file she was holding and read it out loud.

"I'll skip unnecessary details about your identity. Straight to the point, your husband was Hanes Redwood, ex-husband of Belle Eucliffe – Sting's mother. 5 years after their divorce, you two were married. A year after your wedding he broke into a house and tortured a woman there when her husband was away, in front of their son. He shot her after that and the son shot him in defense…"

Lucy closed her eyes and exhaled a long breath. – "That husband was Weisslogia, that wife was aunt Belle, and the son… Was Sting." – She mumbled that last part. Her heart was clenched at the thought about what happened to him. She opened her eyes to look at the woman in front of her again.

"How do you know?" – She asked coldly and Lucy scoffed.

"No matter how hard you try to hide it, I'll always find out anything if I want to, I'm a Heartfilia, remember?" – Suzuki gave her a sick laugh, different from all the laughs Lucy had heard from her before.

"Weisslogia was right, you are smart. Guess that I underestimated you, kid. I thought you were just a blond bimbo, nothing more and nothing less." – She smirked and Lucy glared at her harder. She hated it when people called her bimbo.

"Hanes Redwood, my dear husband. I was crazy in love with him back then. We met at a club where I was working as a stripper. White hair, blue eyes, he was so handsome." – Suzuki said, closing her eyes and the images of her lover flooded back.

"Why are you here, Suzuki?" – Lucy said, ending her daydream.

"To take back what is mine." – She gritted her teeth. – "You know what is the most painful thing when you're in love, Lucy? For it to be unrequited. Hanes never loved me, he always loved that bitch."

"Don't you dare to talk about her like that." – Lucy snapped, Suzuki just smirked.

"Hanes was as crazy about her as I was crazy about him. 5 years passed and he could never forget her. He was extremely jealous when he heard that she was going to be married to Weisslogia – an attractive and talented man." – Her expression suddenly turned solemn, like she was in pain.

"But I don't care, I love him and that's all that mattered, I just needed to be with him, to stay by his side, because he was all I need. My father abandoned me, I had no friends, my man didn't love me. That woman, she had everything I wanted: a son, a husband who loved her dearly, a home." – She snickered sickly.

"BUT THAT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH FOR THAT SLUT, SHE HAD TO TAKE THE LAST THING THAT I HAD EVER LOVED." – Suzuki screamed and Lucy was startled, but she tried to calm her breath. She's crazy.

"After his death, I was depressed and had to go to a mental asylum in Seven. 8 years later, my father, because of a little affection and gratitude that he had left, freed me from there. I barely started a new life and when I read an article about that man, those memories came back." – Suzuki was looking outside of the window, the sun was setting down. She turned to face Lucy, who was still listening carefully.

"I sold every I had and moved to Fiore. I'm here for revenge, my dear. My plan was working perfectly fine, I was going to separate this family and take everything they have…" – She dragged a half-smile out of her lips and walked near Sting's desk. She pulled out a drawer to find something. Lucy's eyes were following her movements.

"But… A little gossiper had to butt in and ruin it. *sigh*… Teenagers these days need to learn to mind their own business." – Suzuki raised her arms, a scissors was in her hand and she aimed at Lucy's head. The scissors whoosh across the room, Lucy's eyes widened, but she dodged it just in time.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU CRAZY?" – She shouted and Suzuki laughed insanely.

"Tsk… I used to be in an asylum, remember?" – She rushed at Lucy and grabbed the scissors that was plunging into the door, Suzuki was about to stab the girl at the shoulder, yet, Lucy evaded it again. Instead, Suzuki snatched her hair when she tried to run to the door. Lucy cried in pain.

"Where are you going, little bird?" – She brandished the scissors again, but Lucy kicked her stomach, making her fall against the door. Lucy looked around the room to find something she could use as a weapon. The lamp. She rushed to the dressing-table, but Suzuki was faster. The woman grabbed her arms, then pinned Lucy down on the bed and attempted to stab at her face.

"DIE, DIE, DIE, YOU LITTLE BITCH!"

"HELP!" – Lucy screamed and moved her head to dodge; the scissors scratched her cheek and red blood appeared on the tip of the metal object.

She grabbed the pillow to block another jab and tried her best to kick the bigger woman away from her. Finally, Lucy reached the lamp on the dressing-table and swung it at Suzuki's face. The woman lost her balance and Lucy quickly got up. Yet again, Suzuki grabbed her ankle before she got the chance to get out of the bed. She kicked her in the face. Lucy, terrified by the hand still grasping her leg, repeated the movement. Suzuki let go after the third kick.

"You're annoying, you know that, motherfucker." – Suzuki didn't give up, her secret was revealed, it was just a matter of time before Weisslogia and his sons found out, she had nothing left to lose.

"If you didn't exist, maybe my plan would go smoothly." – She licked the tip of the scissors, which was stained in Lucy's blood. Lucy was standing on one side of the bed while Suzuki was standing on the other side, blocking the way to the door.

Lucy turned around to opened the door leading to balcony, trying to find a way to get down. Suzuki ran at her with her scissors again. This time, she aimed at her stomach.

"STOP IT!" – Lucy shouted and grasped her hand to prevent Suzuki from stabbing her. She moved to hammerlock the crazy woman from behind, but unintentionally pushed her too hard. Suzuki lost her balance and tripped over the balcony.

"NO!" – Lucy gripped Suzuki's arm, trying to pulled her up.

"Don't… let… go!" – Lucy yelled, but her own hands were slipping. Suzuki laughed madly again.

"Hypocrite." - She gritted her teeth. Suddenly, the hanging woman used the scissors to stab Lucy's hand, making her cry out in pain. Her other hand tugged on Lucy's pony-tail, hard enough to drag the girl down with her. Both of them fell off the balcony. During the short flight, Suzuki continued to jab her shoulder and the girl almost blackened out, but before she lost her consciousness, she heard a blurred voice…

"LUCY!"

Sting? Rogue?

She felt something hard beneath her and everything went dark.

"Okay, people, that's enough for today. We'll continue tomorrow." – Sting said and everybody on the basketball court got ready to leave.

"Hey, Rogue, something's wrong?" – Sting asked when he realized his friend didn't focus. – "You seem worried."

Rogue knitted his eyebrows in confusion.

"Yeah, something's wrong, but… I don't know what it is."

"Okay? Maybe you're hungry."

"I'm not hungry."

"Well, keep telling yourself until your dinner time… " – He grabbed his bag and took out his phone to check some messages. 5 missing calls from Lucy?.

"5 missing calls from Lucy?" – Rogue said out loud like he was reading Sting's mind.

"You, too?" – Rogue nodded and pressed the call button.

"She's not picking up?" – Sting added when Rogue hung up.

"Yeah, it went to the voice mail." – Sting shrugged and both started to walk home. Maybe she wanted to join us for the dinner? Rogue thought.

"Hey, Sting, has father told you about whether you could move outside or not?" – Rogue asked although he already knew the answer.

"He declined, I bet it's because of that woman. Urggg… What am I suppose to do to get away from her, Rogue?" – Sting groaned. Rogue didn't answer, he was deep in thought again. I wonder how far has Lucy got with her little investigation? I haven't heard from her for four days.

"Don't worry, they say we reap as we sow, so if she's a bad person, she won't stay in this home for long." – He said calmly. They turned left and their house appeared under the fading sunlight.

"I feel bad for dad, because he's going to bring home a devil… Oh wait, he already has." – He rolled his eyes and Rogue snored.

"HELP!" – They froze at the scream coming from their house. Lucy. Both of them ran back rapidly to their house. Rogue was faster. He slammed the door open and looked around to find Lucy. Sting was following closely behind.

"LUCY?" – They both shouted and another yell answered them.

"NO!" – Upstairs. They thought, then sprinted to where they had heard her voice. Sting pushed the door open to find Hazumi grabbing Lucy's hair. Their eyes widened in horror and before they could rush at her side, Lucy fell off.

"LUCY!"

No, no, no, please, please, don't do this to me, Lucy. They ran out of the house to the back yard and Rogue pulled out his phone to call the ambulance.

"Lucy, no. Please, wake up." – Sting knelt down and hugged her body closely to him. Oh, my God.

"ROGUE, STING!" – Weisslogia hastily approached them, he was opening the door when he heard his sons' yell. – "Oh, God, get them to the car, now." – Sting scooped her in his arms and did what his father said. Rogue carried Hazumi on his back. Weisslogia drove on his fastest speed to bring the unconscious women to the nearest hospital.

Rogue pulled out his shirt and pressed to her wound to stop the blood loss. So much… blood. Sting shut his eyes, tears began to gather at the corner of his eyes, some of them fell down on her cheek. His mind was full of those images again. Mommy, please help her, I can't lose her. Rogue bit his lip, he touched her hand but it was so cold. It worried him even more. Her usually warm hand was so cold right now. He tried to hold back tears, his whole body was shaking. He looked at the unconscious woman lying next to him.

I hope you die and if you don't, I will make you. He thought angrily.

Weisslogia held his head between his hands. This is all my fault. Lucy was an innocent girl, she was like a daughter to him, and he didn't know what would happen if they lose her. He probably would have to live with this sin for the rest of his life.

He lifted his head to look at his sons. Their expressions were blank and it broke his heart. He had lost the woman he loved 10 years ago and now, he lost them. I didn't deserve to be their father, what am I supposed to tell Layla and Jude?. They were waiting outside the emergency room, the doctors were conducting a surgery. He called Jude just a minute ago and he knew he couldn't get away from Jude's rage. Not like he wanted to, whatever he was to get, he was sure that he deserved it.

"Where is she? Where is my daughter?" – Layla ran to Weisslogia and grabbed the front of his shirt. She had forgotten about her sprained ankle the moment she heard that her precious daughter was in the hospital. He hung down his head and told them what happened. Caprico then explained everything he had found about Hazumi to Jude, Layla, Weisslogia and his sons. The Weisslogia barely had time to react when the breadwinner of the family received a punch from the most wealthy man in country.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT!" – Jude shouted and punched Weisslogia's face, breaking his nose, but he didn't fight back. It took Sting, Rogue, and a male nurse to keep Jude away from him. Layla almost fainted from what she had heard.

My daughter. She thought and busted into a convulsive sobs. The heavy air embraced all of them, nobody said anything. They were all quiet, only the gentle sobs of Layla were to be heard. Sting covered his eyes and cried silently again. He was praying for Lucy's sake.

Please, help her, mommy. Please, bring her back to me, to us.

After 2 hours of waiting, the door of the surgery room opened and a man in white blouse walked out. They all rushed to him.

"Doctor, how is my daughter?"

"Lucy Heartfilia?" – He asked and they all nodded.

"The critical condition is gone, but she would be in a coma for the next few days."

"How are her injuries? Are they serious?" – Jude said impatiently.

"She was stabbed in left hand, left shoulder and fell down from the first floor, but luckily for the girl, the woman… Miss Hazumi, she hit the ground first, so Lucy had avoided the brain injury. Miss Hazumi, however, couldn't make it. I'm so sorry." – He said and they didn't know what else to do but nodded, all of them feeling kinda relieved.

Thank God.

[A week later]

"Sting, focus!" – Rogue yelled, but Sting missed another pass of Rufus. His teammates eyed their captain with worry. It had been a week since that accident, the news spread around the school like fire and Lucy's close friends from F1 were furious. If it weren't for Jellal, Sabertooth and Fairy Tail would have a fight. They knew it wasn't Sting nor Rogue's fault, but the case happened at their house, so her friends couldn't help but blame them for not being able to protect her. The tension between two guilds had a chance to blow up again.

Hazumi/Suzuki was dead. Only her parents came to her funeral, a death of a meaningless life. Sting heard from Caprico about the true identity of Hazumi at the hospital, but he didn't care anymore. The only worry lingering in his mind was Lucy. The woman had finally got out of their life, but the price was too big. Sting and Rogue came to visits her regularly, but she wouldn't open her eyes. Sometimes her friends would be there, too, but they didn't talk.

He wanted to see those chocolate-browns pupils so badly, looking at him with mischief and vitality, he wanted to hear her yell at him or even hit him, to see her face blush in embarrassment. He missed her smile, her laugh. She was too quiet, the Lucy he knew wasn't quiet like that. Sting was sorrowful the whole week and except for Rogue, people hardly talked to him anymore, because they didn't know when he would bust. He didn't even mind, he just wanted people to leave him alone.

"Sorry." – He murmured.

Rogue sighed, he didn't know how long he could keep Sting in line. Between two of them, Rogue was the one who had to be of sound mind when this kind of situation came up. Both of them couldn't be defeated at the same time. Without Lucy, he was the only one who could lead Sting go through this dark path.

"Focus, Sting, Lucy will laugh at your face when she wakes up and sees you play like a dork." – He deadpanned and Sting frowned – his usual expression lately.

"I don't play like a dork."

"Then focus, the sport congress is going to happen in 2 weeks and Fairy Tail will skin you alive with their rage if you'll keep on staggering like a zombie." – Rogue pinched Sting's ear, making him yelp.

"Oww, what the hell, you asshole?"

"Look at me when I'm talking to you."

"I'm worried, okay? Give me a break." – Sting scowled and Rogue nudged him, hard.

"You think I'm not? But worrying is not gonna help her wake up, Sting. You have to believe in her, she's a strong girl, she will make it." – She has to. He thought.

Sting let out a heavy sigh.

"Yeah." – He nodded.

"You bought roses?" – Sting asked. He was holding a bag full of milk and fruits, he was going to give them to Layla – Lucy's mother. Her health was getting bad because of her anxiousness, Lucy would be upset if her mother was sick.

"Yeah, the Lilies her friends sent were withered. Beside Orchid, Lucy likes all kind of flowers, too, so don't worry." – Rogue said, enjoying the bunch of red roses. A little color would bring something fresh to Lucy's sickroom.

They were walking to Lucy's room when they saw Layla's head poke out.

"Doctor! My daughter has awakened." – She called and a doctor with some nurses quickly came in. Rogue and Sting shared a look, then ran to her place.

"Aunt Layla! Lucy has awakened?" – She smiled widely at them, tears were in her eyes and she nodded. They walked in and Lucy immediately turned to look at them.

"Lucy!" - They almost shouted, totally forgetting that they were in a hospital.

"Miss Lucy, how do you feel?" – The doctor asked gently.

"Ehm… fine, I guess?" – She said quietly, looking around slowly as if she was searching for something. She looked back at the boys and they beamed at her. Rogue waved at her, she forced a small smile. Sting frowned slightly, his heart was roaming against his throat.

"Her condition is stable, Mrs. Heartfilia, you can see her now. If there's something wrong, just tell me." – The doctor examined her and said to Layla. The staff left, leaving Sting, Rogue, and Layla with her.

"Hey, Lucy, honey. Are you thirsty or something? Can I get anything?" – Layla caressed her cheek, but Lucy just kept staring at the woman and two boys with her big eyes. She tilted her head and asked.

"Who are you? And what happened?"

...

End of chapter 12

I felt bad when I wrote the scene between Lucy and Hazumi/Suzuki :D. Huhm... maybe I should have made her live longer, is this chapter too rush? XD.

The idea about Lucy loosing her memory seems cliché. I hope you don't mind. :D

Anyway thank you for reading, I'll see you guys soon ^^~
