Chapter Fourteen

"What can I help you with?" Wendy asked.

Lucille stiffened but set her cup down. She stared at the cup and only looked up when Lucy put a hand on her shoulder. Lucy gave her an encouraging smile, but her eyes were asking "Do you want me to explain or do you want to?" Lucille gave her mother a small smile before she shook her head. Lucille was older now, she didn't need her mom to explain things for her. She breathed in.

"Well, I guess I should start with the beginning." Lucille explained how she began to feel towards Ray after she came back from the Spirit World. Little moments like when he made it rain for her and held her for awhile. How he comforted her. And the last night during spin the bottle. She explained the sensation she got when she kissed him and how natural it felt to be in his arms. Then she explained the desire to claim him and that she thought Ray was hers. "I, along with my mom and Natalie, think it might be possible that the mate trait has also been passed down to me. Even though I'm not a dragon slayer." She looked at Wendy who was listening intently. "So first things first: do you think I have that mate trait?" She asked carefully.

Wendy set her cup down and closed her eyes, thinking. After a minute, she got up and walked over to her bookshelf, pulling out a book that seemed old. She opened it and flipped through it, looking for something. Her short, bobbed hair cut that she's kept through the years covered her face but was swept away by her head raising up; seemed like she found what she was looking for. She walked back to them and sat down, setting the book down on the coffee table. "This was Porlyusica's records of dragons from Edolas, and records from us dragon slayers." She explained.

Lucille, Natalie, and Lucy looked at the book in awe. "Dragons from Edolas..." Natalie repeated, fascinated.

"Yes. She said she noticed that dragons sometimes gave birth to twins, though it was super rare."

"But...dragons lay eggs. What? Are there two dragons in the same egg?" Natalie joked laughing.

"Precisely, Natalie." Wendy smiled. Natalie's jaw dropped, she was trying to be funny. She didn't think she was right.

"Like I said, it's quite rare. Sometimes these twin dragons can never separate. It's like the two are of one mind. Porlyusica noted that one would have the super sense of smell, and the other wouldn't." Wendy said looking at them.

Natalie and Lucille looked at eachother. "That's..the same thing as us." They said in unison.

Wendy merely nodded. "Yes. Now getting back to your question. What other things have you noticed that one can do and the other can't?" She asked curiously, grabbing a pen and preparing to write it into the book.

"Well, I have sense of smell." Lucille said as she thought.

"I have the hearing." Natalie finished. "I also have the strength." She murmured, Wendy writing it down.

"Actually, I may have the speed." Lucille commented as she looked to Natalie.

Natalie shook her head. "I don't have super speed, I mean I'm fast, but not as fast as dad, Naja, Gajeel, or Wendy.."

Lucille thought some more. "As for dragon traits, I think that's it. I was trained by uncle Loke in hand to hand combat, and I'm flexible thanks to Libra. But I think Nat was trained the same as well, right?" She asked smiling.

Natalie nodded and gave a toothy grin. "Yup. Same here!"

Wendy nodded as she wrote the rest down. She looked down at the notes of Lucille and Natalie. "As you grew up, and needed check ups, Porlyusica recorded them down. Seeing as you were twins from a dragon slayer. So she recorded all her finding from watching you two." Natalie, Lucille, and Lucy listened intently. "Lucille."

Lucille sat up straighter at Wendy's serious tone. This was it. The truth. And what if she did? Could Wendy do something about it? Suppress her mate desire? If she couldn't..what would she do?

Wendy closed the book which caught Lucille's attention. "I believe it's possible that you also have the dragon ability for a mate." Lucille sat there, eyes wide. Wendy continued. "You see, in some twin dragons, one may have the ability to have a mate, and the other doesn't. But in others, they both can. So in your case,"

"I have a mate..." Lucille finished, staring at the coffee table. Wendy nodded as she watched the reality of it all hit Lucille. Lucille stood up and began to pace. Wendy looked at her curiously, while Lucy and Natalie looked at her sympathetically. As she paced, her breathing quickened. She felt she couldn't get enough air, like there was an incredible weight on her chest and she couldn't breathe. Was she having a panic attack? Anxiety? Probably. She wasn't ready to be with person she was meant to be with for the rest of her life! She just wanted to have fun and use her magic! Why was this thrust upon her so fast?! She couldn't take this! At one point she felt herself falling. Then she heard her mothers panicked voice, Natalie's cry of her name, and Wendy rushing to her side, before Lucille closed her eyes and let herself fall into darkness.

Lucille opened her eyes to see darkness. Where was she? She turned all around but there was nothing but darkness surrounding her. Then suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. When she turned around she saw herself. "Huh?!" Lucille exclaimed. The Lucille standing in front of her had her hair down, and wore a lavender colored spaghetti strapped dress that came down to her knees. When Lucille looked into her other selfs eyes she saw desire, anger, frustration, something wild reflected back at her. Lucille recoiled a bit and the other her smirked and laughed.

"Startled are you? To see yourself? Or to see the real emotions that lie inside you, waiting to be unleashed?" The other Lucille taunted.

Lucille furrowed her brows in confusion. "My real emotions? What do you mean? Wait. Where am I? Who are you?" She said trying to stay calm and rational.

The other Lucille smiled darkly. "Why, I am you! Or I should say, the real you." She smirked. "As for where you are, you're in your own mind. Your subconscious." She said smiling as she walked around Lucille.

Lucille held a hand to her head. She was inside her mind? And talking to the "real" her? What kind of messed up dream was this? That's it! This had to be a dream! She looked at the other her and decided to roll with this "dream". She shook her head. "Alright, 'real me'. You never answered my other question. What did you mean by 'real emotions'? Why am I even here?" She asked cautiously.

The other Lucille's expression darkened. She turned to the side. "Your real emotions. Your true emotions. The emotions you are suppressing right now." Then she turned to her. "I brought you here, because of the mate bond. You don't want to accept it. You want to suppress it. And if you find a way to suppress it," she glared at Lucille. "You'd be suppressing me. The real you."

Lucille tilted her head to the side. "So...what. You're like the actual 'mate me' or something?" She asked, almost bursting out into laughter.

"Yes." She said seriously.

Lucille realized how serious the other her was and her laughter died down. 'So, she's mad I want to suppress her? And how the heck is she the real me!? I'm the real me!' she thought with her cheeks puffed out.

"You know I can hear your thoughts right?"

"Eep!" She shrieked and held her heart. "Heh...I should have realized that I guess." Lucille said scratching her head. She glanced at the other Lucille and was startled when she spoke.

"I know ya want me to answer your thoughts so I will. Shoot." The other Lucille gestured.

"Ah, okay." She felt weird to be talking to herself but this was her only way out of this dream. "Well I guess the main question is: why are you so mad that I want to suppress the mate bond? I mean, if you truly know what I'm thinking, you should understand why. I mean mom and Nat do." Lucille said.

The other Lucille, looked away for a second and glanced back; almost glaring. Lucille stiffened at her look and she focused on her response. She huffed. "It won't make sense to you now, but later on it will."

Lucille cocked her head to the side. 'Being a little cryptic but..okay? If she's me, how does she know something will happen in the future? Can she sense it, like dragon instincts or something?' she thought.

"Yes, I can sense it." Lucille almost smacked herself for thinking again. The other her could read her thoughts so it was useless to think.

The other Lucille sighed in annoyance. "Look. I'll get straight to the point." She flipped her hair and pointed her finger at Lucille. "If you find a way to suppress the mate bond and me, things will be difficult for you in the future." That's all she said before she turned around and began walking away, slowly being enveloped by darkness.

Lucille looked at her confused and was going to ask what she meant by that but, she began to fade. "Wait! What do you-" she stopped short as she began to feel heavy and drowsy. "Wait.." She said one last time before she closed her eyes.

Lucille opened her eyes and gasped. Wendy, Lucy, and Natalie filled her vision. Wendy and Lucy looked relieved, while Natalie looked frantic. "Lucille!" She cried before tackling her into a hug. "Wha-?! Natalie! What's wrong?" Lucille asked as she sat up slowly.

Lucy looked at her curiously. "You don't remember? You fainted after Wendy said she believes you have the mate bond." Her motherly instincts were kicking in now, seeing as Lucille didn't remember what happened.

Wendy touched her forehead. "How are you feeling, Lu-chan?" The healer asked, concerned.

After finally prying Natalie off of her, Lucille breathed and finally recalled everything. "That's right. The..mate bond..." Suddenly she remembered that dream. Was it real? Her intuition was telling her that the other Lucille was no dream. She was real and lies dormant inside her, trying to put her two cents in about what her next decision concerning the mate bond. What should she do now? And why should she not suppress the bond? Why was it so important for the future that she doesn't suppress it? She rubbed her temples, trying to get a grip on this information.

"Sis?" Natalie asked, pulling Lucille out of her thoughts.

"Ah! I'm fine now! Really." Lucille said putting on a smile. But she got serious. She swung her legs over the edge of a bed Wendy used for patients. "Wendy.." She began, but stopped. Warning or not, she had to do what she needed to do now. She'd deal with the consequences later. She turned to Wendy who looked curiously back at her.

"Yes?"

Inhaling a breath, she spoke. "Is there a way to suppress the mate bond? Not permanently. Just for a little while till I'm ready to accept it and my feelings." Lucille looked down. "I'm sure you all agree, but Ray is most likely my mate. However, I'm just not ready to jump into a relationship, or 'mateship'." Looking up at Wendy, she asked again. "Is there a way?"

Wendy looked surprised but sad. She couldn't believe Lucille wanted to almost sever the mate bond. Of course she understood Lucille's reasoning, but it still made her sad. She sighed and went to the book shelf that contained most of the older and worn looking books. Wendy was certain there was a way. Porlyusica once told her about it, an elixir that would suppress the bond. The ingredients were rare and hard to come by, but she had found enough ingredients for one dose; should she ever need to make it. She never needed to, until now. The elixir would work until the person was one hundred percent ready to accept the bond. All Wendy had to do was find the list of ingredients and make it. After a few minutes of searching, she found it. Sighing sadly once more, she turned to the girls with a small smile. "It is possible, Lucille. It's an elixir. It will temporarily suppress the bond until you are one hundred percent sure you are ready to accept the bond. Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?" She asked one more time.

Lucille's eyes widened when she heard it was possible. This was it! She was very certain she wanted to do this. She needed to do this. Lucille stood and looked steadily at Wendy. "Yes. Im sure." Wendy nodded her head and smiled.

"You guys relax while I make it. It should be done in thirty minutes." Wendy informed as she went to grab the ingredients and went to a table filled with vials and different liquids.

The three girls sat down on the couch again and waited. Natalie couldn't take the silence so she began asking Lucille the important questions. "Sooo what will you do about Ray?"

"Oh, right! He's probably still pretty upset. Will you tell him that he's your mate?" Lucy inquired.

"And tell him you weren't ready so you wanted to suppress the mate bond?" Natalie finished.

Lucille let her head relax against the couch. She decide to not tell them about what she dreamt about when she passed out. Now that this was happening, she had to tell Ray something. She looked at the ceiling, which was a tree; seeing as

Porlyusica's house was made from the foundation of a tree. She began, "Well, I'll probably just tell him that I was really tipsy. And that the reason I flinched away was because I was embarrassed and surprised by what we were doing. I'll apologize and ask if we can still be friends." She said as she glanced at Lucy and Natalie.

Lucy sat back and nodded. Seeing as that was Lucille's only other option if she didn't want to tell Ray about the mate bond. "It'll probably all work out. Since he's in love with you, he'll probably suppress his feelings as well. He'll wait for you. I believe that." Lucy smiled back at Lucille, causing Lucille to blush.

"What!? Are you kidding me?! He's gonna be ticked! He's probably going to make it rain for months again! Ugh, you're killing me Lu!" Natalie exclaimed, flinging herself dramatically over the arm of the couch. Lucy and Lucille burst out laughing at Natalie's display. Natalie continued to complain about Lucille's actions over this until Lucille began asking her about what Natsu was going to do about Cain; also Erza's and Jellal's reactions. This caused her to blush and groan, mostly over what Natsu would do.

A few minutes later, Wendy walked over to them. She held out a cup to Lucille, who looked at it eagerly. "Here it is. The elixir that will suppress your mate bond. Drink every last of it, even the last drop. And your mate bond and desire will be suppressed." She smiled.

Lucille took the cup from Wendy's hands carefully. "This is it." She smiled. Looking at the girls smiling faces, she brought the cup to her lips and chugged it down, even the last drop. After she was done, she shivered from how bitter it was. She set the cup down and focused on how she was feeling.

"Good. Now, try thinking about Ray. Just in general, or even from what happened last night. And tell us how you feel." Wendy instructed.

Lucille nodded. She closed her eyes and imagined is face, then his whole body. She didn't feel any attraction. She played over the events from last night in the closet. The way he held her to himself so close, kissed her so tenderly and passionately, the look he gave her when he gazed at her, so lovingly. She felt nothing. However, she did feel somewhat empty, just a little bit. But the feeling went away just as fast as it had come. Opening her eyes, she saw three pairs of eyes awaiting eagerly for her response. Lucille smiled. "It worked, Wendy!" She jumped up and went to give Wendy a grateful hug.

Wendy smiled and rubbed Lucille's back. "I'm glad!" When Lucille pulled away, Wendy touched her cheek. "I hope this is what you wanted." She smiled.

Lucille nodded vigorously. "It is, trust me!" She gave Wendy one last hug before she turned to her mother and sister. "Now, let's head to Ray's house so I can explain things!" She said confidently as she thanked Wendy one last time before she made her march towards Ray's house.

Lucy and Natalie hurriedly got up and hugged Wendy, saying their thank you's as well. Wendy nodded. "I just hope this is what she wanted." Wendy muttered. She turned to Lucy. "Let me know if she has any weird symptoms or dramatic changes." Lucy nodded as she hugged Wendy once more before her and Natalie rushed after Lucille.

Wendy watched them leave and sighed. "I don't think you should have done this Lucille, but...it's your life and your decision. I only hope you're ready." She muttered before deciding to get ready for the day.

Welp, she did it! And what was Lucille's subconscious trying to warn her about? Why is the mate bond essential?

Hehehe, you'll see. Hope you all liked my adult Wendy! ^_^
