Chapter 11: You're not King

"Lucy-sama... It's time for you to wake up now," a voice called out as the sounds of fingers making contact with the wooden door was heard.

The blonde groaning, she slowly opened her eyes to mutter incoherent words under her breath. Her body curled like a cat as her blanket draped around her waist, she slowly got up once she heard the footsteps of the maid walking away. Her hair in a total mess, she sighed before kicking her legs over the edge of her bed.

"I don't really want to go to school today..." she whispered as she stood up. Nodding to her decision, she walked over to the door and opened it only to see another maid walking up to her direction. 

   "Lucy-sama, would you like your breakfast inside of your room or outside in the dining room?" the maid questioned as she placed her hands neatly on top of each other before resting them in front of her.

Wincing at the word "dining room," Lucy took a step back into her room and shook her head. "I won't be going to school today. Please leave my breakfast at my door," she said before pulling her body back into her dark room where she then closed the door without another word trailing behind.

Lucy walking over to her bed, she sat on the soft mattress and looked in front of her. A vanity mirror placed right in front of her, she remained in the same position as she gazed into it to find a girl that wasn't as bright as before.

  If only she died with them... Then she would've escaped from the world. Perhaps this was God trying to tell me to grow up?

Oh trust her words, she did grow up. After that funeral which she hated oh-so much, she went home and popped that ball that she grew up with and watched it burn in the fireplace. She should've grown up then. If only she could repeat time and make more adult-like decisions rather than a child's.

That ball that was once precious to her heart was no more - Precious memories? More like now-corrupted ones.

Sighing, she shook her head and walked over to the corner of her room, ignoring the tickling sensation of her feet now contacting her woolen rug. Her back resting against a possible twenty of pillows scattered around, she sat there quietly as she watched the passing shadows seen through the small gap left from the door.

Her eyes watching a tray being placed down in front of her door, she listened to the soft knocks before the sounds of feet made its way away from her room.

"I should fire these people... But then again, I hardly know how to look after myself because of them," she said before pulling her body up.

While Lucy was slowly forcing herself to eat her breakfast; Natsu, Erza and Gray remained seated at the fountain as they looked out to the gates. Their eyes looking for a certain someone, they saw a familiar crimson-haired student walk in only to have a surge of expectations that the certain someone would be with them - Only to find that Sakura walked in with their school's enemies, they sighed through their noses and stood up to meet their friend.

"Tell me why there are Sabers in our school?" Gray questioned as he slipped his hands into his pockets. Erza nodding, her earrings began to glow which was a warning sign that she was about to use magic.

Sakura forcing herself to smile, her earrings began to glow as well. "I told you three before... They're my cousins. If you hurt my family, I won't go easy on you," she replied before looking at Erza's earrings where its glow began to fade away. Sighing, she took a step to the side and smiled. "Meet Fairy Tail's newest students - Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney," she introduced before skipping to her friends where she opened her mouth to introduce them back to her cousins.

"And this is -"

    "You don't need to make this all fun and games Sakura. They should know us well enough," Natsu interrupted making Sakura frown to his annoyed attitude so early in the morning. 

The crimsons shaking her head, she began to walk off with Sting and Rogue following her  behind. "Hai, hai - Don't go getting your dragon tail in a twist," she retorted over her shoulder to which Gray raised a brow to. "I think she's giving you the shit for treating Lucy so harshly man," he said to which he kicked the small rocks in mere boredom.

"To be honest, I really want to hang out with her like we did when we were younger. What's stopping you honestly?"  Gray continued.

With Erza nodding, she then placed a hand on Natsu's shoulder and gently shook him. "That day you returned home soaked... Igneel and Sakura were so worried for you - Out of all times when he told you to pick up Sakura from the airport with him, you vanished! You were meeting your distant cousin Natsu," she whispered before feeling his shoulder trying to shrug her hand off of him.

Her hand slipping off of him, she shook her head in displeasure of his silence. "Sakura's already been traumatized by the past. She was lucky that her mate was nearby to calm her down," she stated before realizing something. "Lisanna said that you guys were mates... What happened?"

Natsu clicking his tongue, he pivoted his feet to walk off towards the school's building. Ignoring Erza's question, he gritted his teeth as he tried to forget about the past. The past which only made him regret what he's done to Igneel and bring Sakura into a world that's filled with unfulfilled promises...

While walking into the main school building, his phone vibrated to which he unlocked it to find something unsettling. "Can't want to see you~ Li-sa-nna," the text read, making him sigh in agitation for her perfect timing. As much as his hidden intentions were; how could he prevent a situation from happening?

Not knowing what to reply her back with, he simply locked his screen and shoved his phone back into his pocket where he began to head class.

   Today he didn't see her, and today, Fairy Tail Academy gained 2 new students... 

Just what was Makarov thinking about when he approved of Sting and Rogue's enrollment so quickly? Was it because of the fact that two of his top students were going to a tournament and weren't going to be attending here for three weeks?

Unknown to everything, Erza and Gray simply shrugged their shoulders. It seemed like Lucy wasn't going to be here today, so they might as well head off to class instead of thinking of a way to talk to her like back in the days. Their minds now on auto as they walked into the buildings, they were oblivious at the fact that everyone was watching each other warily as if something was bound to happen somewhere in the future.

"They didn't come into the building at the same time like usual... Are they having a fight?" the students whispered.
