an unknown secret

CHAPTER 3

Layla POV

"Mom where are we exactly?" My dear daughter asked. I smiled and said," We're in the dragon realm, where all dragons live ". She looked shocked. I giggled and said," I'm the queen of the dragons and you are their princess. I came back because your childhood friend Zeref was unconsciously destroying stuff here so Mavis, your other childhood friend told me what was happening and I had to come back to fix everything "," WAIT, your saying that Zeref and the First are my childhood friends?!"," Yes my dear, I locked up all of your memories from this place, including everyone. I made an illusion of me dying and came back here. If you're ready, I can unlock your memories now", I said." S-sure", she said nervously. She was probably having a hard time processing what was happening. I snapped my fingers and she flinched.

Lucy POV

She snapped her fingers and I flinched. Suddenly I remembered everything, everyone and what I did with them. Names came to my head:

* Igneel - the fire dragon
*Grandeene - the sky dragon
* Metallicana - the iron dragon
*Weisslogia - the light dragon
*Skiadrum - the shadow dragon
*Flora - the nature dragon
*Venom - the poison dragon
*Rocko - the earth dragon
*Bolt - the lightning dragon
*Aqua - the water dragon, and
*Stella - the celestial dragon, and then I remembered everything I did with Zeref and Mavis. Those were all good times. Then my thoughts got interrupted," Well, go rest for some time and start preparing for the ball at 8:00 to officially crown you as our princess ". Said mom," Oh, and you will stay here until you master all kinds of magic to get stronger. You will be here for 8 years, and don't worry because time here is different from earth land's. A year here is a month there". She said, I nodded and went to get ready. A maid escorted me to my room. She left and I opened the door, it was HUGE. I'm not kidding! It had a king sized bed, a desk with two chairs, a very big closet with tons of gowns, jewels, and tiaras!!! I went close to my desk and said," OPEN GATE OF THE MAIDEN, VIRGO", and then Virgo came." Time for punishment princess?"," No Virgo, I need you to bring me paper the, kind that can only be read by the person it's addressed to" she responded," Yes princess". She nodded and left, soon she came back after a minute. She had a pencil and papers. She gave them to me and a letter for Master and Levy. When I finished I look up to see no one, Virgo must of left already, so I summoned Loke."OPEN GATE OF THE LION, LEO". " Hey lovely ", he said and I just ignore his comment and said," Loke, can you take these letters to master?"," Sure Lucy ", he said and disappeared infront of my eyes. I got dressed ready for the ball. I wore a red dress with a bun and my bangs out. It was already 7:50 so I went to the ballroom.' Wait,I don't even know where it is'. I was lost, then I saw Zeref and Mavis all dressed up and walking to where I think was the ball. I followed them, there I saw them talking and laughing and when Mavis was distracted Zeref looked at her and started to blush.' Aww, they would be a cute couple', I giggled at my thought and saw them go inside the ballroom. I took a deep breath and went inside. Everyone looked at me, I was kind of nervous. I turned around to find mom, and there she was with Mavis and Zeref. I went over to mom and my friends and said," Hello mom, Mavis,Zeref","Hey Lucy, it's been a long time since we've talked in the guild. Sorry for not telling you before, but they told me to keep it a secret that I already knew you. By the way, you look very beautiful, Lucy", I opened up more like the old times and said," Hey Mavis, you look beautiful too, you can ask Zeref to hear what he has to say", we look at Zeref and he said," S-sh-she l-looks very b-b-beautiful", he said blushing and Mavis said," T-th-thank y-you " blushing as red as Erza's scarlet hair. We hugged and Zeref joined in too. Then mom cleared her throat and got everyones attention,     " Everyone, may I get your attention, as you know we are celebrating my daughter's return, and so now she is officially the princess of all". Everyone started clapping as my mom put a crown in my head and my clothing changed. I now had a white dress with a golden ribbon on it in and my heels became golden sandals, but I still had the crown on. I was so confused and then mom said," Your transformation means that you have been accepted as the princess of the dragons". I nodded my head in understanding and we all went back to what we were doing, Zeref and Mavis were filling me in on everything that I missed when I wasn't here. We all had a good time until it ended.

At the guild...(before the party started)
No one POV

Everyone was doing their thing and minding their own business, until out of nowhere, Loke came in through the doors. Everyone started whispering.    ' isn't that Lucy's spirit ', or,' what is Loke doing here '. He ignored them and went up to guildmaster's office and knocked 3 times and heard a small ' come in ' and went in.

Mokarov POV

I answered with the regular 'come in' and saw . . . Loke?!" Loke ", I said.         " Master, Lucy wanted me to give you these two letters ". After he gave them to me, he disappeared. I read the outside and it said, ' to master ' and      ' to Levy '. I took mine and kicked the door open and screamed," Levy, on my office, NOW ". Levy came up to where I was scared and said," Y-yes master ". I look at the letter and give it to her," Here you go it's from Lucy", we were already inside the room and she started to read her letter, she started to cry. I opened my letter and it said:

Dear Master,

I love you like my dad. I was very happy, that was until almost everyone broke my heart. The guild, my family mistreated me and called me weak. That made me very sad. When I went to train I went inside of a forest and found a DRAGON! She took me to the dragon realm and called me their princess and guess what, I really am. My mom is their queen, yeah I also thought mom died but she actually faked her death to come back here. So I'm the princess of everything, you name it, dragons, wolves, gods, pixies, everything, even fairies. I don't care, I'm still Lucy of fairy tail. I gave you this letter because my mom told me that I will be back in 8 years but don't worry, 8 years here are 8 months there. I really miss you guys, and one thing is for certain, I will come back and stronger than ever so when I come back I'm going to fight team natsu. And make sure to place your bets on me, because I'm going to win. Oh yeah, and when I come back I will probably come with a childhood friend since he hasn't leaved here for a long time. When he comes please don't panic he's a really nice guy, he's Zeref. I'm here with the First as well because it seems were childhood friends as well, she just didn't tell anyone. Master, please don't tell anyone about what is happening or anything about this.

Love, Lucy Heartfilia

I was shocked that Lucy was Zeref and the First's childhood friend, but I'm glad she's coming back.' I'll wait for your return my child ', I thought and then I felt a warm liquid falling to my cheeks, I was crying.

Levy POV

Master kicked his door open and looked at me in the eyes. I flinched, I was scared." Levy in my office, NOW ". That is all I heard. I stood up and walked over to his office. 'What did I do now '. When I got there I hesitantly opened the door. I went inside the room and closed the door." Y-yes master ", i stuttered. He handed me a letter." Here you go, it's a letter from Lucy", he said. My eyes widened, I opened the letter and it said:

Dear Best Friend,

Hey Levy, I miss you so much. How's your relationship with Gajeel? I love you, I will send a letter to you every year so don't worry. Oh yeah, I'm in the dragon realm, where dragons live. Here a year is a month there where you are. I'm going to be gone for 8 years, so 8 months there. I'll probably be back with my childhood friend so you don't have to worry about me being lonely. You are going to freak when you find out who it is!! And please keep it a secret that I'm communicating with you from everyone,okay?

Love, Lucy Heartfilia

I felt tears coming out of my eyes, I was crying. When I look up, I see master crying while he finished reading his letter. When I calmed down I got out of the room and went home.
