An Angels Curse, Ch.1
Rating: T (for now)
Summary: When Lucy is attacked and injured during a fight against a dark guild, she ends up being a part of a history she didn’t know existed, and wielding a power she has no clue how to control. But with a looming threat, she will have no choice but to sacrifice everything in order to succeed.
The train station was quiet, almost silent. There was nothing to be heard, other than the faint sound of singing crickets and the odd whoosh of a train in the distance. All of the day’s commuters had gone home, resting in their beds. What staff remained stared at books or leaflets, sipping strong, bitter cups of coffee, trying to grasp onto what little alertness they could to carry on counting down the minutes until they could go home. Occasionally they would hear the sound of distant echoes of footsteps, and look around futilely to see if there was anyone around to assist. But there was no one there. No one except a sad looking girl sitting on a bench by the rails, staring blankly at the next platform over and absentmindedly fiddling with her suitcase, her brown eyes shining with unshed tears.
Lucy had been dreading this day. She had been planning it for a week, and it had come faster than she ever had intended. Everything had worked out perfectly, to a T, which was strange, given that Team Natsu was almost impossible to organise without something being broken in the process. It was almost as if the universe wanted this to happen. Natsu and Happy had gone home without a fuss when she told them she wanted a night alone, appeased by a sordidly large meal she had paid for. Erza and Gray has understood when she had asked for a break from missions for a while, not asking questions when she had claimed it was due to the anniversary of her mother’s death. They merely looked at her with caring, warm eyes, and promised to keep Natsu quiet for a while. That was what broke her heart the most, not only using her mother to lie, but that they had believed her without suspicion. They had no reason to suspect her of lying, they understood the pain, they trusted her, and she broke that trust.
Looking down at her shoes, Lucy took a shaky sigh, and ran a hand through her hair. ‘It doesn’t matter’, she told herself. ‘Most likely, they will never see me again. In time they’ll forget.’ Yeah. Sure. Because Fairy Tail forgot their family so easily.
