Chapter 9
In the end, they end up talking in Erza's house. It wasn't really her house actually since she live in Fairy Hill, a famous hotel in Fiore. Natsu and Lucy was amazed by how fancy the room look. Erza's room was bigger than the other's since she took 3 room and make it into one room.
The first thing Lucy say about her room was it was neat, very neat. Although that armors and swords were everywhere, the room still look neat. Lucy should ask her how to clean a room someday.
For Natsu, when he first enter it, his eyes has twinkling at how cool her armors and swords are. They were totally awesome! Each armors and swords have different motives and shape and of course different function too. There's one that used to prevent it's user from fire damage. There's also armor that could prevent water damage and could make it's user stay longer in the water.
"Please make yourself comfortable. I'll back in a minute with tea." Erza said politely then go to the kitchen to make the tea like what she said.
Lucy and Natsu then sit in the couch which was so comfy. The sofa was long and red. In front of the sofa was a glass table with a smaller red sofa in front of it, facing the glass table.
"Woah, her room was so comfy!" Lucy exclaimed loudly. Natsu said nothing but nod his head. He agree to what Lucy has said. The room indeed was very comfy for both of them. The temperature wasn't really high also wasn't really low which was their liking.
"Well, thank you so much." Erza said, suddenly appear with three cups of tea with her.
"No prob!" Lucy said with a wink. Erza smile softly in response.
"So, what did you want to tell?" Lucy ask coriously when Erza has positioned herself in the sofa in front of them.
"Well." Erza started hesitantly, scarthing her neck nervously.
"Spit it out!" Natsu command which earned a glare from Erza. Natsu immediately shivered at her glare. He didn't know why he was scared but he know for sure that she could be so scary.
"Well, it's about your father." Erza started making Lucy to gulp nervously. Natsu who didn't know anything about Lucy's parent could only stare in confusion.
"Wh-what about my father?" Lucy was now shaking badly. She wasn't ready yet. She wasn't ready to hear about it yet. But she has to, right?
"T-the Heartfilia mansion now actually wasn't belong to the Heartfilia anymore." Erza said, her head facing the wooden floor. She know the news will hurt her badly. But she need to now. It will hurt her more when she realize that she is hiding it from her.
"W-what do you mean?" Lucy stammered.
"Your father died one month ago." The news hit her like a car hit her. Her brain couldn't work right now. Her father dead? No, it isn't! Her father is still alive. Heck he even owe Lucy a forgiveness. He can't die before apologize to her!
"What do you mean, Erza?!!" Lucy yelled foriously. No, her father isn't dead! He is in his office working on few paper now! Erza was just lying!
"Your father died one month ago because of illness like your mother's." Erza said gloomily. She know, she know, she shouldn't has told her. But she need to know!
"Why are you lying, Erza?!" Lucy yelled, now standing right in front of her. Her fist clenched tightly as her tears made it's ways down to the floor.
"Luce, she isn't lying." Natsu said making her back stiffen.
"..." Lucy didn't answer but she give out a little sob. Lucy know dragon slayer could detect lies too. Natsu told her yesterday. So, Erza wasn't lying.
Why did the world so cruel? First her lovely mother then her father. The world was too cruel! She could has just died. Now that she thinks it, what child was she? She should has been there with her father until he gone. But what did she do? Purposely did a crime to chase her death?
Lucy laugh bitterly before collapsing to the floor. Her hand grabbing her golden hair in desperate. She still could give out a few sob before the world went black.
"Luce!" She could hear Natsu's word but soon dissapear when the world went black.
The next thing she know, she was in a white room. Everything was white and nothing was there. Just a plain empty white room.
"Lucy.." She heard someone's sound. No, she know this sound.
"Mother!" Lucy yelled desperately. It was her mother's sound for sure. She was sure!
"Lucy please forgive your father." She could heard her mom said but couldn't found her posture. Where is she?
"Mother!!!" She yelled again. She yelled several times more but the world went black again.
The next time she woke up, she was in a bed. It wasn't her bed nor was it Natsu's bed. The room look unfamiliar too.
Slowly she tried to sit. She didn't has any difficulty to sit though. She just faint, nothing else. So it wouldn't pain her. Why did she faint again? Oh, her father. She smile bitterly as the memory come when her mother told her to forgive her father.
She didn't know. It was hard to choose. Her father has done something unforgivable to her own daughter, abandoned her. Could she forgive her? She don't know. And now that her father has died..
Slowly she make her way to the wooden door. But before she could open it, it was opened from the other side revealing a beauty in long white hair which her bang was tied up.
"Ah, you are awake!" She chimed cheerfully. The sweet smile never leave her angelic face. Lucy immediately relaxed at her look. She look peaceful, look like she didn't has any burden.
"You shouldn't have walk. Poryulisca said you should have take rest first. But since you look fine, I think it's okay." She said to Lucy.
"W-who?" Lucy ask.
"I'm Mirajane Strauss, a member of Fairy Tail! And you're now in Fairy Tail's infirmary!"
