I don't own Fairy Tail!
Chapter 2: Fairy Tail
Lucy P.O.V.
Erik holds his hand out to me. "Come with me, Lucy. I'll get you out of this prison." He smiles gently at me and I can feel heat creeping up to my cheeks. I smile back at him and nod, before taking his hand in mine. We walk slowly through the Heartfilia konzern, Erik listening for any noise near us. His purple eyes dart across the hall as we come to the big back doors, leading into the flower garden.
"There are guards outisde so we have to be extra quiet, but still fast."
I nod quickly and take a deep breath. Erik opens the door and immediately we get stormed by guards. Soon we get seperated and a scream pierces the cold november air.
"Oi, Bunny! Rise and shine, it's another training day for you." Gajeel shakes me roughly untill I push him away, groaning in annoyance.
"Leave me alone, Gaj. I don't want to." I roll onto my stomach and pull my blanket over my head.
Gajeel's deep laugh echoes across the clearing while he shakes his head. "Oh no, that's not happening! Now get up. Or don't you want to impress Fairy Tail tomorrow?"
"How can I impress anyone if I'm tired and beat up by you?" I raise my head and glare at him.
"I'll go easy on ya, Bunny. Now, come on." He holds out his hand and I sigh hard, before taking it and pulling myself in a sitting poistion.
"Fine, just give me a few minutes to get dressed." I look at my hands and sigh once again. Another nightmare about Erik, I held his hand in mine. It's been 2 years since that evening. Since the day I lost him. I left him, and who knows what happened to him in meanwhile? He told me to go to Fairy Tail, but I didn't. Not yet, at least. About 6 months after the escape Gajeel found me and we've been training ever since that day.
"Bunny, you okay?" Gajeel kneels in front of me and looks at me with a worried look in his eyes, instead of his usual scowl and glare.
"I'm okay, Gaj. There's no need to worry about me."
He looks into my eyes and shakes his head slowly. "You had another nightmare, didn't you?"
"The same as always. He's fucking haunting me." I give out a dry chuckle and turn my head away. I slide my shorts on and switch my sleeping shirt for a clean tank top. I'm not afraid of changing clothes in front of Gajeel, because I know he's into men, not women.
"You know what? Let's skip training today, we'll head straight for Fairy Tail. We need to catch up with Juvia anyway." He moves his hand through his hair and looks at me again. "Is that a deal?"
I nod excitingly and smile widely. "Thanks, Gajeel. How much further is it?"
'I just can't wait to see Juvia again. I wonder if she has finally had the guts to confess to the guy she loves.'
"About an hour on foot."
"Alrighty! Let's get going."
Gajeel groans. "You're way to hyperactive in the morning. And still you wonder why I call you Bunny."
I giggle softly as we start making our way north, towards Magnolia.
Time skip
My jaw drops to the floor as we stand in front of the guild. It's huge! I lean into Gajeel's side and smile up at him. "We finally made it, Fairy Tail."
But before we even reach the door, they fly open and a pink haired boy lands on the ground in front of us.
Gajeel growls and looks at the boy. "Salamander."
"Oh, hey Gajeel. Are you here to finally join us?"
"Not just me. Take us to Master Makarov?"
"Aye sir!" The boy stands up and starts walking inside, we follow him inside and soon after a loud gasp pulls my attention away from the boy.
"Lucy! Gajeel! You're both here!" A squealing Juvia runs over and nearly tackles the both of us. We both hug her back and I smile at the fact that Gajeel is showing affection in public.
"I'm so glad to see you again, Juvia. I missed you so much."
"I missed you to, Lu."
"What's all this commotion about?" A small, old man walks towards us and looks at both me and Gajeel.
"Morning Master. We're here to join the guild. This is Lucy."
"We've been expecting you, Lucy." A tall blond walks up to us and his gaze meets mine. On closer inspection I can't stop myself from wondering why he looks like me.
"What do you mean, expecting me?"
"Let's go up to my office for this talk, shall we?" We all follow the Master to his office. Gajeel and I take a seat on the brown leather couch, while the blond leans against the desk.
"About a year ago, we received an anonymous letter saying that you were joining Fairy Tail, Lucy Heartfilia."
My eyes widen in shock while Gajeel tenses beside me. "How do you know my name?"
"Because you're my sister."
"Excuse me, I'm what? I don't even know you people."
Master nods his head in understanding. "My name is Makarov Dreyar, this is my grandson, Laxus Dreyar. He is your brother and I'm your grandfather."
Gajeel shifts beside me and looks at the Master. "What about last names? Your name is Dreyar, she's a Heartfilia."
The master nods slowly, while Laxus turns his head away with a sad look and shame in his eyes. I notice Gajeel looking at me with a raised eyebrow, but all I can do is shrug. I don't know anything about these people and yet they claim to be my family? How can I believe them when I already have a family? Or rather, I had a family. My mother Layla died on my 10th birthday, and practically I had lost my father that same day. He became distant, cold and grumpy. He only talked to me on "special occasions", like when he talked about who I should marry. I do miss him a lot but I also fear that he does not miss me at all. Honestly I would've liked to see the look on father's face when he found out I was gone. It must have been a mixture of anger, fury, disgust. He would've killed Erik if he knew.
Suddenly I can feel my eyes widening. Did he know? Is he the reason why I haven't seen Erik in the past 2 years? Did he kill Erik?!
