What is My Real Future?

Chapter One : Debt Problem

This is a story I've been thinking about for some time. If you like the story, thanks. If not, then thanks for checking it out. Now, on with the story.

Today was a dreary day of cloudy skies and turbulent winds, perfectly suited for the days events. For if, the day could tell the couples distress, surely the populace would.

"Lucy, my dear, are you well? You're as pale as a sheet."

Lucy shook her thoughts away and grasped at the navy handkerchief that was already straining under her attention.

"N-nothing Wendy", Lucy replied.

"Smile then, if it be nothing. You are soon to marry my brother, the love of your life. I'm sure whatever Lord Fullbuster wants, it isn't anything severe."

"Never underestimate that man. He is a force to be reckoned with."

Lucy swept back her freshly curled hair and looked once more out of the window.

"Only through devious means. Without his cunning, he is nothing more than bully."

"I can only hope."

They arrived at the marvelous estates of the Fullbuster grounds. Natsu's car circled first, around a solid silver fountain.

"Must I leave? I'd rather stay in the car than speak with that poor excuse for a man."

"Lady Lucy, you will be fine. Now come on, Natsu's waiting to see you."

Lucy tentatively stepped out of the limo and smoothed her dress of fine blue silk. Wendy followed behind her in a dress of lavender.

"Lucy, you're shaking like a leaf. Are you well?"

"Nii-san, she is well. She just has a silly fear of meeting Lord Fullbuster."

"Hmm…, well, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him. You needn't fear him, for if he does try something, I will show no mercy."

They were lead into a small, but heavily adorned drawing room.

"So the happy couple has arrived. My, Lady Lucy, you look even more ravishing than the last time I saw you."

Lucy could say nothing, her throat felt like that of sandpaper.

"You certainly have a way with the women, curious how your interests drift toward an orphaned servant girl."

"Curious how you interests drift to common whores." Wendy retorted icily.

"Besides, we didn't come here to hear your mouth. What do you want?"

The Fullbuster gestured for them to sit. "It's about what a certain Count's illegitimate daughter owes me."

Lucy froze up. "…..owe you?"

"Yes and quite a debt it is, 21.000 to be precise."

"I can give you that," said Natsu

"But I believe the debt is Ms. Heartfilia's. Surely if she has any moral values…"

"She is to be my wife in a few days. What is mine is hers equally so you will get your money."

"Ah, also, your dearly departed father left a notice to my father which was passed down to me. You will serve as my maid until you've paid your debts."

"What?" Wendy stood up.

"Apparently he thought she'd still be a penniless orphan. Nonetheless, she will carry forth with her father's wishes and serve on my staff."

"Over my dead body." said Natsu in a low, threatening voice.

Lucy refused to look at anyone, she couldn't believe her ears. There was a reason she felt uneasy within the presence of an Fullbuster. The memory began when she was a little girl, it stuck with her through womanhood.

Flashback

Where is the girl? I haven't the time for children's games.

How should I know? She was neither of our children remember?

Lucy… Lucy dear, where are you?

I needn't see the girl. If she is as efficient as you say, then she will do.

Most so, she is a wonderful house cleaner and from what I heard, very pretty.

Well, so we won't have to throw her out on the street afterwards, she could be my son's…plaything.

Present

"Lucy, Lucy… dear, are you alright?" Wendy held a cool palm to Lucy's cooler forehead.

"We could settle this like gentlemen, or we could settle this in a courtroom."

"Please, over something like this?"

"It will only be for a month. She will be well cared for and fed. You will have your wife back and her debt will be repaid."

"I will do it."

Natsu turned to his betrothed, a worried expression on his face.

"Lucy…"

"I will be fine. We're getting married next month, that will get me though our pain. Wait for me my dearest, while I will wait to return to you."

The Fullbuster took a sip of his wine. "How touching… you will start tonight."

"Okay now you're just being a bastard."

"Wendy, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

"Mind if I shoved my foot down yours?"

"Agreed then, what is the protocol for you employees?" Natsu took his betrothed's hands.

"You are special. During the day, you will serve a maid, during the nights, you will have your status back."

"And what of holidays? Will we be able to see her?"

"We will come to an arrangement soon enough on that regard. For now, I will show you to your quarters."

The Fullbuster took a trembling Lucy's hand and guided her to the door.

"I assure you Dragneel, she is in excellent hands."

Lucy looked back at her love with tears in her eyes.

Natsu was moved by those tears. He never saw such despair on her face.

Swiftly, she blew him a kiss before she was ushered away.

So, what is your opinion? I hope you like it.
