Lucy p.o.v

Three days after the dance and my mother accidently walked in on me changing. To others its not a big deal but when you have an enormous freshly cut scar running across your stomach, its an issue.

Needless to say, Rouge didnt last long, and i wasnt gonna miss him.

So here i was, awiting my mother to pick me out another personal knight. Of course the decision wasnt up to me, i dont get to make decisions.

It was three days before my "perfect wedding" and for the first time in three years i cried. I had been Zerefs finance for 9 months and the wedding was so soon. I never imagined i would marry.

But my tears didnt fall because of Zeref. They fell because of a dream.

I had settled into bed after a long and tirering day and i fell alseep quickly. But when i had awoken i was home. My real home. I was nuzzled up against natsus scales and i was so warm. It had been so long since i had felt warm.

It was all a dream. Natsu was right here, fast asleep, snoring like always. And in a flash, i was flying through the sky. I didnt remember Natsu waking up, and i didnt recall leaving the castle, but i was to happy that Natsu was never Slayed and i was never ripped into a castle that i didn't even try to pick apart the impossibility of the situation.

And just like that i was awake, in my lacy pink bed, in a lacy pink dress, in a lacy pink bedroom. I wasnt even shocked. Im not that girl anymore. Im not Lucy of the fire dragon.

Im Lucy Heartfelia of the kindom of Firoe. Those days flying through the sky and nights rested against warm scales belonged to another girl now.

And so, my lost tears were suddenly found.

Luckily since we werent married yet i wasnt forced to share a bedchamer with Zeref. But i saw him in the corridors. He would stride by, trying to act like he wasnt flexing his pewny muscles. He acted as though this was his castle, but i didnt complain, its not my castle either... Its my prision.

He gave me smirks and fake smiles, hoping that i would fall for his wealth and actually accept him by my own will. He thought it was working too. He thought that he was just so stunning that the second we were officaly wed i would cry with joy.

He was only half wrong.

For the second we were wed i would cry... But not out of happiness.

I feel as though life in this court is strangling me. I wish to scream till i have no voice and cry till i have no tears. But of course i cant.

Mother alnost gave up on finding me a new knight. She even did give up for awhile untill a assassin snuck into the castle and murdered father. He always had alot of enemies.

She cried in public and smiled in the walls of the castle, for she can rule alone now. But my death would hinder her. See to her i am money, for without me there is no tie to the rich and powerful kingdom of Burke.

So she searched again, and eventually found a knight suitable.

He arrived one day before the wedding. I was to disctrated by old memmories to even bother looking at him, but i did glance over when he vowed his knightly purpose.

When rouge vowed he read the lines perfectly, "I Vow to protect the whole Heartfelia family, but more carefully and protectivly watch over miss Lucy" that was the vow. By saying that if my mother felt threatend she could quickly steal my knight from me, protecting her own life. But not this knight.

"I Pledge Myself The Lucy Heartfelia Alone, Till The Day I Die" wrong pledge.

But perfect voice

He lifted his head from his bow and gave me a fimilair devilish smirk.

I dont recall the pink hair

I dont recall the human body

But id know Natsus Onyx eyes and deep voice anywhere.

And for the first time in three years...

I laughed

And i knew, this would be my last night in the castle
