Fallen Celestial (Fairy Tail fanfic)

Fallen Celestial Part 25

Lucy scowled and tapped her foot impatiently as she waited by the train station. It had been over an hour since team Natsu and the rest of Fallen Celestial had gone their separate ways in order to prepare for the mission and so far only Lucy, Abaddon, and Alva had arrived. Although the moment Alva had seen the train she ran off so fast that even Lucy hadn't been able to stop her, forcing Abaddon to go and retrieve here leaving Lucy alone once again.

"You'd think that the idea of going on a mission again with me would put a little spring in their steps but I guess Fairy Tail always did do things at their own pace."

"And I'd say that you're a perfect example of that yourself, after all it did take you over seven years to even attempt to get you're revenge." A voice commented from right next to Lucy's ear, the person's breath tickling her skin.

Lucy screamed out in surprise and leapt away, turning in mid air in an attempt to see who had snuck up on her. The moment she did she was greeted by Lilith's hysterically laughing form, the older woman doubled over and holding her sides in laughter.

"Damn it Lilith! I was just about to attack you!" Lucy yelled with a pout on her face, a look that only increased Lilith's laughter.

"I know that's what makes it so funny!" Lilith choked out in between bouts of laughter and only increasing Lucy's annoyance.

"God...fine then, let's just laugh at my expense." Lucy mumbled as she crossed her arms and turned her head away from the demon of lust.

"Awww don't be like that Luce...I'm just playing with you." Lilith cried as she threw her arms around Lucy's shoulders and pressed her ample bosom against her back, causing Lucy to blush slightly at the fact that they were now the center of attention.

"Alright, alright, just get off of me." Lucy sighed in defeat, Lilith jumping off her back and still chuckling to herself. "What's got you in such a good mood? I haven't seen you this happy since the time you brought home the son of a duke."

"Heh, heh...let's just say that the payment for my pact is going to be cashed in very soon." Lilith cryptically chuckled as she stared at Lucy with obvious glee.

Lucy raised an eyebrow to her companion's strange behavior and was about to question what exactly she meant but before she could Abaddon and Alva returned, the former held tightly by the collar of her shirt by the former.

"I have returned Milady, and I have brought our wayward dragon as well." Abaddon announced, not allowing Alva back down as she would likely flee again.

"A-ah, thanks Abaddon. I didn't want to have to run after her myself this early in the morning."

"You need not apologize Milady; it is part of our pact after all." Abaddon said with a flourish of his free hand before standing near a pillar, Alva still held in his other all the while.

It wasn't long after Abaddon's return that the others began to filter into the train station some rubbing sleep out of their eyes while others carried their luggage, Erza brining her cart of everything under the sun as she always did. Strangely enough, Happy showed up by himself with no sign of his dragon slayer in any direction. Lucy questioned him on Natsu's absence but the Exceed only smiled creepily and said that Natsu was taking his time on packing and thinking about something obvious. Lucy couldn't help but narrow her eyes in suspicion when the blue cat flew off to speak to Lilith, the two giggling and speaking together in hushed tones.
