The Sounds of Flames ~ A Nalu Fanfic

Chapter 21

(Lucy POV) I woke up alone in my bed. Was that all a dream?

I look at the nightstand next to me and there's a note. I picked it up and it read

Hey Luce. I carried you to your apartment to let you sleep peacefully. See you at the guild -Natsu

So he didn't stay here. Why are my emotions acting like this? I've never felt like this before

I looked at my charm bracelet and now the charm that was all black was only half black. Let's just hope that nothing to heartbreaking happens to me that they all turn black.

I pulled myself out of the bed and looked at my dark, empty apartment. Sara must be at the guild by now because I can't hear her snoring.

I got up and rummaged through my closet. I'm starting to show bone so I need to be careful. I put on a long sleeve dark purple shirt with blue jean shorts and a black cloak on my back.

I slipped on my white combat boots and brushed out my hair. I braided my hair to the side and washed off my face.

I looked in the mirror and sighed. I've never been disappointed how I look before, just now I think I look hideous.

I got to the guild and Levy ran up to me in tears. "Lucy..." She said crying

"Levy, what's wrong?" I asked my best friend

"Don't come in. Please" She said tears falling like a waterfall

"Why?" I asked pushing by her, wishing I didn't

I froze when I saw it. Natsu and Lisanna were standing on and table, holding hands, kissing

Three charms on my bracelet turned full black. My arm started to hurt, tears falling down my face.

I wiped the tears quickly and made my eyes purple. I'm sick of pretending there brown anymore. I'm sick of everything

My demonic side was coming out a bit from the charms. You see, while my mother was part dragon, my father was part demon. But not just any demon, Satan himself was my grandfather. Hence the purples flames I posses when I'm angry. If all the charms turn black, I turn into my demonic form and will destroy anything.

I walk in sassly and clap my hands, very slowly. "Well, it seems that Nali ship has sailed. Isn't that precious" I said with an evil smile

"L...Lucy..." Natsu said wide eyed

I floated up to them and held there faces with my hands. "Aren't you two just the cutest. Almost makes me feel joy, doesn't it Sara" I said with my fourth charm starting to turning black

"Lucy, calm down" Sara said walking up to me. She didn't get the powers of my grandfather like I did. Even though Makrov is my mothers father, his magic wasn't passed down to me.

"Why should I? Everything is more clear now" I said jumping off the table

She looked at my bracelet and gasped. "Your bracelet" She said shocked but them looked at Natsu in anger "YOU TWO DID THIS TO HER!" She shouted angrily

Sara held up a white light to my bracelet and the blackness was sucked away. I felt more calm again, but also very weak.

I stumbled a bit when I walked but I was good. At least I wasn't acting crazy anymore.

Th..thanks.." I said stuttering a bit

"Lucy? What's going on?" Erza asked concerned. She's basically my big sister.

"Oh...it's nothing" I lied. Only Master, Laxus and Sara know about this. Sara can purify it but not a lot. This is the first time she's had to do that in about 2 years.

"Its something. And your not moving until you tell us" Natsu said holding the sides of my arms. I'm so done with him actually. Not everything. Just him.

My bright purple flames appeared on the side of my right eye and he backed away. "You don't touch me" I said with an angry voice

I swung my cloak and walked up the stairs, to the S-Class request board. I close a smile quest. Take down a few dark guilds. Simple enough.

I showed it to Mira and she gasped. "Lucy, you do know this quest will take up to 10 years, right?" She asked and everyones mouths dropped

"Yea. Whatever" I said emotionless and teleported away.

~~~COMPLETED QUEST~~~

I teleported back to the same spot I was standing 30 minutes ago without a single scratch on me with a large sack of jewel

"Seriously Mira, that was a piece of cake" I said smiling

"You completed a 10 year quest in half and hour?!" She said shocked then fell to the floor

Everyone looked at me, kinda scared. I realized I had my sword on my belt. "Man, I guess I forgot to put this back" I said to myself holding the sword in front of my face

"Lucy, can I see that sword" Erza asked walking up to me
