Ever After (NaLu FanFiction)

Lucy's Side Story

// What happened to Lucy after she vanished? //

-- [ LUCY HEARTFILIA'S POV ] --

It's been 7 years, I've been counting. It's difficult living and it's a good thing I lived cause I don't remember if I've been eating colossal amount of food for these past years.

I wonder if Fairy Tail somehow really misses me. And Indigo told me I will vanish. Ha ha. I think Fairy Tail thinks I'm already dead. That would be funny.

How is Natsu and the others? Are they having fun right now? Is there a lot of new members and I would love to meet them.

I feel really weak right now and I'm out of magical powers. My spirits can't summon themselves by their own will... but why?

I miss all of them. I could feel the chains are almost breaking. I'm hanged by that Indigo. I just don't remember anything after Indigo took me.

I struggled to break free and I've feeling some luck by now. I forced to break the chains and it did.

I fell to the ground and it hurts. I'm not fully recovering, instead, I feel really weak. I'm also really dirty.

Sigh... I wish Aquarius could give me some of her water. I looked around, hoping if there's an escape door.

"Princess, Virgo, at your service!" Virgo said with a bow.

Wait-- what?! But how? She can summon herself by her own will?! How??

"Virgo, how can you--" before I could answer, she interrupted me.

"Now that you've escaped, we now have hope that you are alive. We can feel magic that is yours. Princess, thank you for coming back to us." Virgo said while shivering.

"Ha ha, I didn't die. I'm just weak, that's all!!" I laughed.

"Princess, Crux told me something. It's about your health and your magic." Virgo said sternly.

"What about it?" I curiously asked.

"Your magic was taken by Indigo Hansin. Without magic, you might die. You see, Layla-sama, your mother, she died, am I right? And she retired being mage when she was 16." Virgo said.

"What about it? Does it concern my mom's death?" I asked Virgo. She got silent and she nodded in agreement. I have to die? But why??

"When Layla-sama retired as a mage, her magic decreased, causing her to have health problems. In the Year X777, she was with the dragons to find Acnologia but died because she lost her magic."

"She was history, the star's light. She took maximum amount of magic and sealed it somewhere. Her magic was 'light' and her secondary magic was Summoning Celestial Spirits."

"After a few years of sacrificing, for her only daughter who inherited her powerful magic. But Princess, there's no time left. You can die any time soon."

"This magic is for you, and it's really important. To keep this magic you have to share it to a mage that has your blood. And there's only one way. To bear a child and he/she will inherit it." Virgo said.

Wait... inherit a child?! I can't do that, I'm not yet married! But... I can sacrifice for a short time, right? To share my last time with my family, Fairy Tail.
