Chapter 7: The blonde's story and the boy's fear

Lucy looked at the lake in front of her as tears continuously went down her cheeks. She hugged her knees closer to her chest as her hands rested on her now healed arms thanks to Grandine. Her mind replaying over the incident with Natsu and her. She knew her way of handling this secret was stupid. She was just a kid she didn't know what to do. She just…

"Lucy?" The blonde turned in shock as she saw Natsu standing behind her breathing hard as he stared angrily. "Why did you do it? Why did you eat the fruit knowing the possibility of you dying? Did your life mean anything to you? Why didn't you tell me or the even the guild? Did you think we couldn't protect you or even take your side? You know we would have done anything for you! All you had to do was tell us! Hell you know Gajeel and Wendy are worried sick about you. So just answer me Why!" Natsu demanded staring at Lucy with fierce fiery eyes. Lucy looked at him in shock then silently nodded sadly. She did owe him an explanation.

"Natsu." Lucy whispered sadly as tears came down her eyes, but then she quickly composed herself looking at him seriously. "Everyone has reasons behind their every decision. You have to hear the story from each point of view to know. Hearing Cindy's and Igneel's part probably left you with a mix of emotions and mostly confusion and anger towards me!" Lucy replied sadly as she stared back at the lake in front of her. She could hear the crunching of leaves behind her as Natsy moved to sit next to her, but an arm's length away. "You're probably wondering why my mom did it and why I did it?" Natsu nodded silently. " Every woman that was chosen was given the warning and the choice to refuse. Many women did it anyway even though they heard the warnings. Some because they felt like it was an honor to eat the Dragon Fruit. Some because they had nothing to live for. Lastly some because they thought they had enough power to survive and believed they would get unlimited power from the child. My mother did it because she saw her death in the future." Natsu stared at the blonde shocked and confused. "You see not only did my mom have celestial powers, but she was also a physic she could see the future. Cindy inherited that from my mom, but Cindy's is when she touches someone she sees their past, present, and future. Well my mom saw the dragons telling her about the Dragon Fruit in the future and she had two visions. One of the visions she accepted the fruit and saw her own future of getting sick afterword and dying. Then the other vision she saw herself refusing but she still saw herself dying two years later due to a reason I don't know. She didn't tell me. You see Natsu 7 years ago after you left I had a strong urge to go to my old mansion. I knew my dad had got it back and after he died he left it up to me to decide what to do with it. So I decided to go there and finish up that life once and for all. When I was there cleaning I found mom's diary with a note from her telling me to read it. That's when I found out about Cindy and the dragons. I was shocked at first and I didn't want to believe it especially when she told me that she saw my future." Lucy scrunched her nose in concentration as she looked down at the water stilling hugging her knees. She prayed in her head that Natsu would understand. "She wrote that I would run into Igneel and the rest of the dragons and they would tell me about the Dragon's Fruit as well that I was chosen to be the Dragon's Spirits mother. My mom told me that I had the choice to refuse, but there was a consequence if I refused. She told me that I was the only celestial mage powerful enough to give birth to the Dragon's Spirit. She told me that if I didn't then the Dragon's would slowly become extinct dying one at a time and when all the Dragons die then the natural order of Nature in the planet would go crazy because the Dragons are the ones that control that. And soon humanity wouldn't survive the Nature's terror. So a few months later I found them and I accepted their offer knowing I had no choice. I ate the fruit with no fear because I knew I was protecting everyone. Fairy Tail taught me not to run away from these things and if my life would save the guild's as well as the world then I would do it gladly. But I survived so now I am their protector I protect them from the Stridows because I don't want the world to go into chaos and destruction." Lucy turned and looked straight at Natsu's eyes. " I kept this from you and everyone because I knew the Stridows are everywhere and they have great hearing if they heard about any of this not only would they kill everyone in the guild for answers."

"We can take them! Do you really think we can't?" Natsu finally spoke as he stared at Lucy with annoyance. Lucy sighed and ran a hand through her blonde hair.

"Only well trained dragonslayer can kill them. Trust me I know I almost died when I killed the ones that killed Jasmine. I didn't have my mind straight to think at that time so didn't care what happened to me. Look Natsu, Grandine is going to get the other dragonslayers here along with training Taiyo they are going to train you guys on everything you need to know to kill them. Why now? I don't know either." Lucy sighed heavily again. "I am sorry I kept this from you guys. It was stupid of me and I was scared. I know it was dumb…"

"You did what you thought was best! It was dumb and not the way I would go, but you had a good heart." Natsu spoke comforting the blonde with his words. "I will stay and train to help you protect them with Gajeel and Wendy. But I don't think it would be the same for us. I don't know if I can trust you anymore."

"I understand!" Lucy nodded as she looked down letting her bangs cover her silently crying face. Her chest clenched in pain as she heard Natsu get up and walk away from her leaving her alone to sit in front of the lake in her tears for what seemed like hours.

"Lucy?" A soft voice spoke as she walked behind the blonde resting her hand on her shoulder comforting.

"How did you know I was here?" Lucy whispered out sadly as she looked up at the red haired girl. Cindy smiled lovingly at her sister as she sat down next to her pulling her into a hug.

"Natsu told me when I passed by him. He went to go talk to Igneel!" Cindy said as she comforted the crying blonde. Cindy sighed as she remembered what the dragonslayer told her. 'go to her and comfort her for me. I made her cry again. I'm sorry!' When he said those words Cindy noticed his face was pained also with teary eyes. He was in pain also. "Give him time, Lucy. Let him think about all this. He took a lot in today."

"I know, but still it was so hard. To hear him walk away. It was.." Lucy cried harder into the water and ice dragonslayer's chest. Cindy rubbed her back comfortingly as the blonde's sobs echoed in the forest as if feeling her pain to the red haired girl couldn't help, but cry to. For her sister. For Natsu. For their future.

After what seemed like hours Lucy finally stopped crying and pulled away from her younger sister's embraced and sniffed one last time. The young girl smiled at her sister's face that turned from sad and heartbroken to headstrong and determined. The never giving up blonde a sister she could look up to that was her sister. Cindy looked down at her shirt only to groan in annoyance and the moment was ruined.

"LUCY! You covered my shirt with your nasty snot fest!" Cindy whined as she looked down at her black corset top. Lucy looked at her with guilty face and smiled apologetically. "Whatever don't show me that face! Where is the boy?"

"Loki took him to the spirit world for a while to train to give me some alone time." Lucy sighed as she looked at her keys. "They should be back soon." Then just as on cue a cloud of white smoke appeared next to them as well as a poof. When the smoke cleared revealed none other than the lion spirit Loki with Taiyo.

"Oh my wonderful, Lucy! I have returned to your side!" Loki exaggerated as he extended his arms out as if he was in a drama. Cindy and Taiyo immediately rolled their eyes in annoyance as Lucy just sighed and shook her head.

"Great orange top is back!" Cindy sighed sarcastically. Loki turned towards the voice only the smile evilly at the red head.

"Have you missed me greatly my little dragon?" Loki teased as he smirked at the now disgusted red head.

"You wish!"

"Whatever you say!" Loki replied as he rolled his eyes at her. Cindy stuck her tongue out at him in response. "That's unattractive!"

"So is your face!" Cindy retorted in anger. Her temper immediately snapping as she glared.

"You know you dream about my face!" Loki said as he tried to pose a sexy pose. He along with other's loved messing with Cindy because of her temper.

"it's funny how you assume like it would be a wonderful dream! Personally to me that would be a nightmare!" Cindy snorted as she crossed her arms. "Anyways I don't like kitties!"

"What did you call me?" Loki growled in anger as Cindy smirked victoriously.

"Kitty! That's what you are!"

"In case you didn't know! I am a lion spirit. Leader of the zodiac animals…." Before Loki could finish he immediately disappeared with a poof. Cindy turned to see Lucy holding out his glowing key sighing in exhaustion.

"I don't feel like hearing you guys fight again!" Lucy said as if answering to Cindy's confused look. Taiyo looked at his mom with worried eyes as he grabbed her hand.

"Mommy? Are you ok?" Taiyo asked looking up at Lucy with shining hazel eyes that seemed to shine with different coolers. Lucy looked down at her son and smiled sadly as she hugged him tightly.

"Yes! I am fine now! thank you!"

"You act like the brat was the only one that helped you!" Cindy scoffed as she rolled her eyes making Lucy laugh.

"Do you want a hug to?" Lucy asked looking at Cindy with amusement.

"I am not a child! Now let's go back! I have unfinished business with Metallica!" Cindy hissed as she thought of the steel dragon.

"Yeah! Let's go Taiyo!" Lucy said as she grabbed Taiyo's hand and walked through the forest with Cindy towards the dragons and the fire dragonslayer.

As they walked in silence Taiyo kept looking up at his mom with worry. His eyes stared at her arms to her face. Her scars are gone, but the small boy knows the scars in her heart are still unhealed. Taiyo looked down in sadness the haunting thought that always passes through his mind decided to come back. The small boy let out silent tears as he continued to walk while holding his mom's hand.

'Mommy? Is it my fault? Is it because of me you always cry?' Taiyo thought in sadness as he looked up at his mom. Lucy continued to walk completely in her own world her eyes stared out into nothing in particular with sadness. Then Taiyo remembered watching Lucy yelling at Natsu with tears in her eyes. 'It's HIS FAULT!' Taiyo thought angrily.

Cindy walked next to Lucy and Taiyo in silence until she felt it. The boy's emotions emit through the air. First it was sadness now he is just pure angry. Cindy bit her lip in frustration that boy is too protective of Lucy.

"Blowfish! What took you so long?" Cindy snapped her head up angrily as she came to a stop glaring at Metallica's mocking face. They reached back to the beautiful prairie Lucy and Taiyo walked past them and sat on the grass talking with Grandine.

"Aw I never knew you cared, Lizard!" Cindy mocked as she walked past him towards Grandine and Lucy. She smiled as she heard Metallica mumbled curse words as he followed behind. "What are you guys talking about?" She asked once she reached them sitting down also.

"Cindy. I need you and Lucy to go to Fairy Tail to get Wendy and Gajeel. Bring them here and be careful when you tell them make sure there are no Stridows near." Grandine spoke looking at Cindy and Lucy with a serious expression.

"Gajeel! Is coming? This should be fun!" Metallica spoke with a mischievous smile spreading across his big face.

"Damn there is now going to be a human version of you here!" Cindy muttered as she sighed heavily. Metallica growled angrily as he glared at the girl. Immediately hearing the growl Cindy jumped up ready for a fight as she glared back.

"Why can't I go?" Taiyo whined as he stared up at Grandine with watery eyes. Everyone looked at Grandine wondering the same reason.

"Yeah? Wouldn't it be weird if I go back without my son, but with my sister? And what about Natsu? " Lucy asked as she stared at the frustrated white dragon with confusion.

"What about me?" Natsu asked as he came out from behind the trees with Igneel. His eyes landed on the blonde beauty sitting on the grass. They stared at each other with sadness then looked away from each other as they felt their heart clench in pain. Taiyo glared at Natsu angrily.

"Taiyo has to stay for training! Lucy take Cindy and Natsu with you. Tell your guild that the boy is at a relative's house for now until we figure out a way to tell them without the Stridows finding out. The Stridow's hearing is really strong, so Lucy when you tell Wendy and Gajeel try to use your magic to make like a shield around you guys. The shield would let you guys talk to each other inside about it while no one can hear you on the outside. I know you can only do a small shield for now we will try much later to expand it so you may tell the guild." Igneel said.

"I am not confident in my shield! I never tried it on more than one person!" Lucy said nervously as she bit her lip. Igneel smiled softly and used his tail to lift Lucy's head to look at him in the eyes.

"I know you can! You are powerful and don't forget your purpose." Lucy smiled at the dragon's words. Those words to her were in encouragement at the same time motivation. Igneel looked at Taiyo narrowing his eyes at the small boy. "You will stay here and train. Your mom is going to be too occupied to seal you magic and watch you. So you need to stay here especially when the Stridows are searching at large now." Taiyo looked down understanding what Igneel was saying. It is too dangerous for him. Igneel looked up at Cindy and Natsu. "You need to protect Lucy because once she releases her magic for the shield they will sense the power from her and know it is connected to us." Igneel warned and with a last nod at them they turned to the forest and left. "Be careful!" He whispered as he stared at their retreating figures.

"AHH! Don't worry so much, Igneel! They will be fine! You worry like a parent!" Metallica exclaimed as he moved next to Igneel hitting the red dragon playfully with his tail.

"They are like my kids! So I must worry! Although we are not really related they are my children through heart!" Igneel spoke still staring in the forest as Metallica mimicked him in a dramatic way. Grandine sighed as she closed her eyes for she felt the same way as Igneel about the kids. Igneel noticed Metallica's mimicking and hit him with his tail. "Will you ever take anything seriously?"

"Will you ever stop being a pansy?" Metallica laughed as he rammed his head into Igneels. Grandine sighed at the stupidity in front of her as Metallica and Igneel started fighting.

"Still hard to believe they are over two hundred years old!" She sighed in disappointment as she moved to try to break them up.

The Dragons were too busy in their fighting to notice a small seven year old boy with yellow and orange hair missing.

Taiyo stood in front of the lake breathing hard from the running. He made sure the dragons weren't paying attention and then he ran to door of this realm that leads to normal earth. All he has to do is walk through the waterfall. Taiyo stared intently at the falling water if he leaves now he should catch up to his mom. He wants to protect her like she protects him. Taiyo looked down and sighed in sadness as he recalled his nightmare that he keeps having. His nightmare of being alone in darkness staring down at his mother's bloody dead body tears going down his eyes as he wailed to the sky because it was his fault. Taiyo shook his head for he to shake the memory out of his head with a last breath Taiyo ran through the waterfall disappearing from the realm of the dragons to go to earth to his mom.
