The Pirate and the Princess

Chapter 5

After Lucy left Erza in her chambers, not knowing what all of her questions were about; it was very strange. Erza knew Jellal Fernandez?! How? Why was there so much sadness in her eyes at the mention of Jellal. Was there a past between them? Did something happen between them? Is she the old love he talked about? So many questions filled her mind about Erza and Jellal. Lucy pondered on those questions, casually walking across the deck. She missed his presence; knowing she could always rely on him to tell her the positives in any choice her father made for her. He also taught her how to use a sword properly - she was by far the best out of the both of them. Her father would have never allowed her to use such a weapon. He wanted to raise his daughter as a classy lady, suitable as a wife to only the richest of men. Lucky for her, Jellal never met her father, only heard stories of him through Lucy. If he had, Jude would have most definitely chosen Jellal over Sting. She was grateful that never progressed in that way.

Lucy turned directions back to the amazing library Levy had introduced her to - if she was going to live on the ship, might as well enjoy everything that it has to offer. Stopped by the angry beast in her stomach, she realized she hasn't eaten since the banquet at Stings manner. Even then she didn't indulge herself in much food - little to none would best put it. She sighed, knowing she had no clue where the kitchen is or who the cook is, and if there was even a kitchen on a ship like the one she is taking residence in.

She continued towards the library when she glanced over looking at the open water. With no ripples or high waves, the water was calm. Seeing the dorsal fin of Dolphins swimming along side the boat. They jumped in and out of the water - anyone who was listening could hear the sounds they made.

Lucy rested at the side of the boat, taking in the wonders her new life has to offer. She watched the Dolphins, smiling to herself. She rested her head on her arm, basking in the mid morning sun light and the slight breeze that swept through the ocean. "You must be the new girl?" A fairly sweet sounding voice called from behind the girl. Lucy turned her gaze from the Dolphins to be greeted by the one and only Mirajane. She is infamous for seducing men out of their money. The majority of the cases report that she would seduce richer men - some were even higher ups in the Navy and Army -  to take her back to their home for  "fun." Once there she would raise either a gun or sword towards them and say the famous line, 'it's nothing personal, it's just business.' Every time Lucy heard of another report of the Devil Woman Mirajane, she would laugh. Thinking how easily gullible men can be sometimes.

She notices her white hair resting on her back, while her bangs are tied up in the front. Her white ruffled shirt creating perfect exposure of cleavage but covering her torso. Her tight black leggings complimenting her thighs. Finishing off with a pair of tattered brown boots - visibly showing the age. "Yeah Lucy, you must be Mirajane. I have heard many reports about you. I find most of them comical." Lucy extended her hand to shake the stunning beautiful woman.

Mira began to giggle, remembering the fun she has with each take. "Please, call me Mira." She extended her hand to meet Lucy's. "Yes, most of my victims are mostly funny when they realize they have been had by myself." She slightly laughs.

"You were legendary, I have always wanted to meet you, since your first burglary." Lucy explains. She fully turns towards Mira to get her fullest attention. She seemed so nice, compared to what the reports have told Lucy about her. In the reports, she was described as a ruthless and cold hearted woman who shows no mercy to her victims.

Long before that, Lucy had come across  Sting lying unconscious in the center of his bedroom with a gash near his eyebrow. Lucy called out for guards to check to see if he was still alive or not - she could care less. When he came to his senses he shouted, 'where is the devil woman,' 'I have been had by the devil woman.' Once those words left Stings tongue, she made her way out of the room to laugh. Seeing the situation - The Devil Woman, had made off with most of his jewels and money. After the File had been made, Lucy asked Sting what exactly happened. Sting never talked about it again, due to the embarrassment that was developed by the woman.
