Chapter Two
"It's me, Lucille. I'm back!" She said smiling.
Everyone stared in shock. All was silent you could have heard a pin drop. At that moment Mirajane dropped her tray and an empty cup crashed to the floor in pieces; breaking the silence. Natalie was the first to make a move.
Natalie touched Lucille's hair, then her shoulder. On the verge of tears she asked, "Is..is it really you? I'm not dreaming? You're not going to disappear?"
Lucille smiled warmly and placed her hand on top of Natalie's. "It's really me. You're not dreaming. And I'm not going anywhere. I'm back for good." After that confirmation, Natalie let herself hug her twin sister. She sobbed into Lucille's shoulder while Lucille stroked her hair. She let out all her feelings of hurt, anger, and sadness. Natalie missed her so much and now she finally had her sister back. She didn't have to put on a brave face anymore and everything would go back to normal. Natalie had her other half back, and she would not lose her again. After a few minutes Natalie pulled away and wiped her tears. "Where on earthland did you go Lucille? We looked everywhere but…we couldn't find you.." Natalie asked.
Everyone nodded or mumbled agreements to Natalie's question. Lucille rubbed her arm. "Well I'd like to wait till everyone is here before I explain. So that way I can tell everyone at the same time…" She said while looking at everyone.
Mirajane walked up to Lucille and hugged her tight before pulling away. "If that's the case, let's go get Master and tell her you're home. Then we'll come back down here so you can explain." Without giving her a minute to respond, Mira grabbed Lucille's hand and started walking upstairs. "Hey! I'm coming too!" Natalie yelled while catching up to them.
Lucille allowed herself to be dragged upstairs but she then realized what Mirajane said. 'Her? Does that mean that Master Makarov stepped down? Then who..' Before she finished her thought, Mira stopped in front of the guild masters door.
"This may be a shock but I'm sure the Master will be even more shocked when she sees you." Mira said smiling. Natalie snickered a bit. As Mirajane opened the door she called out to Fairy Tail's Master. "Master, there's someone here you should see." She gave Lucille a nudge to walk in and Natalie walked in after.
The back of the guild master's chair was facing Lucille as a woman's voice spoke. "Ah, Mira. It got so quiet downstairs I began to worry." The woman stood up and began to turn as she kept talking. "I wonder who could walk in and make all of Fairy Tail sile-" The Master stopped and stared at Lucille. In return, Lucille gasped.
"Auntie…Erza..? You're Fairy Tail's Head Master!?" Lucille exclaimed.
Natalie burst out laughing. "Didn't see that one coming did ya sis?" She teased.
Erza walked around her desk and up to Lucille. All of a sudden she broke out into a warm smile. "It's you. It's really you, Lucille." At that moment she grabbed Lucille into a huge "Erza Hug"; a hug that could shatter bones.
"Uh..Auntie Erza, I think you're killing her." Natalie said in horror.
"Ah! Oops." Erza released Lucille. Lucille, who couldn't breathe that whole time, began to inhale large breaths of air. "Sorry about that Lucille. It's just been..so long.." Erza trailed off.
Lucille stood up straighter and nodded. "I know. I plan to explain to everyone where I've been but I want to have everyone together."
"I see. Natalie, shouldn't Natsu and Lucy be here soon? As well as Gray and Juvia?" Erza asked.
"Mom and Dad should. I'm not sure about Uncle Gray and Aunt Juvia though." Natalie said thoughtfully with a finger to her chin.
"Gray and Juvia left three days ago so they should be here soon as well." Mirajane answered.
"Alright. Well let's head downstairs and be ready. I'm sure this will be an emotional reunion." Erza said with a hand on her cheek and a dreamy expression. Mirajane giggled. As they headed downstairs Lucille began to get nervous. The look on her face showed she seemed troubled, and didn't go unnoticed from Natalie. As they got close to the last few steps, Natalie spoke up. "Would you two mind letting me have a minute with Lucille?" Mirajane and Erza exchanged glances of knowing. "Sure!" Mirajane smiled, and they left.
Lucille was about to ask what's wrong when Natalie beat her to it. "I know why you're worried." She said bluntly. "Uh, what do you-"
"You're worried Mom and Dad will be upset with you for disappearing, aren't you?" Natalie said while crossing her arms.
Lucille sighed. "You could always see through me, huh?" She said while smiling sadly.
"Of course I can! I'm your twin. You can't get anything past me." Natalie smirked triumphantly. "Look. If Mom and Dad can forgive me for all the stupid and crazy stuff I've done over the years, surely they can forgive you for disappearing." Natalie smiled while putting a hand on Lucille's shoulder.
Lucille looked up and smiled. "Thank you, Nat." Natalie smiled and hugged her. "Of course." They walked down the last few steps and joined up with everyone.
Not even a minute later, Natsu and Lucy come walking in. "Hey everyone! We're back!" Natsu shouted. "We met up with Gray and Juvia at the train station too!" Lucy informed. A second later Gray walked in with Juvia latched onto his arm.
The others turned around and parted so Lucille could be seen. Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Juvia stopped and stared at her. Lucille took a few steps forward, with Natalie behind her for support, and spoke up. "Mom, dad, it's me. Lucille. I'm ba-" before she could finish, Natsu and Lucy rushed up to her and wrapped her in a tight hug. Lucy began to sob while Natsu held on to her, shaking. "I knew just by looking at you, that it was you Lucille. I knew it!" Lucy said through sobs. "You're back.." Natsu said hugging Lucy and Lucille tighter. After eight years, they finally had their little Lucille back. Sure she was older but that didn't matter, as long as they could be a family again, that's all that matters. Lucille wrapped her arms around her parents and began to cry. "I'm so sorry mom, dad!" She repeated a few times. Lucy and Natsu pulled away. As Natsu wiped away Lucille's tears, like he used to when she was a child, Lucy shook her head and touched her cheek. "It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're home." Lucy smiled. Lucille sniffled as she smiled. "I'm home.."
Suddenly crying could be heard as Juvia grabbed Lucille in a tight embrace. "Juvia thought she'd never see her Lucille again! Juvia was so sad!" Lucille struggled as water from Juvia's tears begin to flood the guild. "I'm sorry Auntie Juvia! I didn't mean to make you sad! Please don't cry. I promise I'm not going anywhere." After a few seconds, Juvia calmed down and released her. Erza and Mirajane held drain stoppers in their hands as Juvia's water went down the few drains on the floor. "I'm glad I decided to install these drains." Erza said sighing.
Gray ruffled Lucille's hair like when she was a kid. "Wha-! Uncle Gray, you're messing up my hair!" Gray just laughed. "Yup, Lucille's back."
"So Lucille, now that everyone's here. Where did you go?" Mirajane asked.
Lucille, now having full attention on her, began to get nervous. Would they be mad? Would they understand? 'I'll never know if I don't explain.' she breathed in and out, bracing herself. "I guess I'll start at the beginning."
"Everything started around the time that everyone was getting their magic. When Ultear, Max, and Jax discovered their magic, they were the oldest. Then Lydia, Lance, and Cain discovered theirs. But when Ray and Natalie gained theirs, I noticed that I didn't. I thought I'd be getting my magic when Ray and Nat did, but nothing changed. So I thought 'Maybe I'm just a late bloomer'. But after a couple years and no signs, I realized I was one of the children who would never receive their magic." Lucille looked down while twiddling her thumbs. "I began to get depressed. I tried to summon fire like Dad, but nothing happened. And I tried to summon one of Mom's silver keys, Plue, but again nothing happened. That's when I started to not be around everyone when they used magic, because it hurt to see them using it when I couldn't."
"I remember. I remember trying to show you. But-" Ray stopped mid sentence. 'But you'd just…run away..' Lucille looked away, ashamed because she knew she made them feel bad.
"But Lucille, it didn't matter that you didn't have magic. We'd always love you and you'd always be a part of Fairy Tail; magic or not." Erza explained.
"I know that. But I wasn't upset because I felt like an outcast, I was upset because I couldn't be an amazing Mage, and show everyone what I can do with my magic." Lucille said as she looked up dreamily, "And not just any Mage; a Celestial Spirit Mage." She smiled. "You know I've always loved the stars and constellations, Mom; especially your spirits."
Lucy smiled. "I do. I remember giving you that bracelet with all of the zodiac symbols." She then pulled it out of her pocket. It was pure gold and each symbol dangled. "Ever since you disappeared, I've always kept it with me." She stroked it with her thumb. Lucille's lip quivered but she grabbed her mother's hand with her still holding the bracelet. "I'm glad. And if it's okay, I'd like to take it back." Lucille said smiling. Lucy smiled and nodded as she clasped the bracelet on her wrist. Stepping back, Lucille began to explain where she went to.
"So one day I decided to try one last time. I took Mom's keys and ran to the tree we use for the Hanami festival. Once there I began to summon the spirits of each key Mom had. I concentrated from noon to dusk. After the last key failed, I sat there distraught. I had almost given up when I had an idea. I put each key, both silver and gold, in a circle around me. I decided if anyone could help, the Spirit King could." Lucy's eyes widened. "So I concentrated. I concentrated all my energy and soul into calling the Spirit King. Right when I was at my limit, I felt a rush of wind surround me. I thought it was just the regular wind, nothing unusual, but when I opened my eyes, I saw that I was sitting on what looked like a plat form surrounded by the stars. That's when I noticed every celestial spirit and the Spirit King stood before me."
And that's where I'm stopping it. Sorry for the cliffhanger. ^^; The third chapter will explain everything.
I like the idea of Gray, Juvia, Mirajane, Erza, ect, acting as though they're aunts and uncles to the kids. Since Fairy Tail's like a big family, I thought it'd fit. :3
So I hope you like it and will look out for the next one! ^_^
