Chapter 1: Something about my last name

Lucy's P.O.V.

Lucy Heartfilia. Some people think my last name fits me perfectly. I on the other hand thought different. Like a jagged puzzle piece in the wrong place. I just kept telling myself that I was a Heartfilia, so the name had to fit, but deep in my gut, my mind, my HEART, I knew that there was something not right about my last name. I could never shake the thought, not even now as I took my nighttime bath. I soaked, keeping every part of my body buried beneath the steaming liquid. I had a job tomorrow with team Natsu, and was not looking forward to it. With all of my friends destroying the buildings... Oh, I don't even want to think about what they'll do to my rent! I just sunk under the water once more to clear my head, when I was met with a pulsing headache, and a picture of an old man with a long white beard, and almost equally long hair, wearing a wreath of leaves around his head. I didn't recognize this man at all, but yet, I seemed to know him. I shook my head, and the headache dissolved, along with the picture. I stepped out of the tub, wrapping myself up in a small towel. I started to rub my hair with another towel, and wiped my face clear of water droplets, as well. I heaved a heavy sigh, as though an anvil were weighing down my breath, and walked out of the bathroom. I was greeted by my usual pink-haired intruder, and acted upon instinct.

" Lucy Kick!" I scream, my foot molding into it's usual spot on Natsu's cheek. I put my hands on my hip, and let out another sigh

" Natsu, can you PLEASE come back another time? I have a throbbing headache, now..." I scold, rubbing my forehead in circles with my fingertips

" Why, Luce? Will you not be able to go on the mission tomorrow?!" Natsu asks, looking worried and shocked as he sits on the floor, holding his cheek like a child. I just giggled and patted his head, ruffling his pink hair

" Don't worry, I'll be able to go!" I smile

" You're so weird, luce!" Natsu smiled back. I don't think he knows what the word 'weird' means. An angry chip pops up on my forehead, and I look emotionless.

" Natsu. Out." I comand, but he starts to speak

" But-"

" No buts! Out!" I yell, pushing him out the door, still on his butt. I lock it behind him, and slink to the floor, when I hear a drawer closing. My eyes shoot open, and I see Happy rummaging through my clothes, and is currently stuck in the opening of one of my black boots. That's what Natsu was waiting for. I picked up the blue neko, re-opened the door, threw Happy at natsu, still on the floor, and re-shut the door, re-locking it and the windows, just in case. I then changed into my Pajamas and brushed my teeth, making sure one last time that my windows were shut before I snuggled into bed, enjoying the softness of the sheets and mattress. I allowed myself to slip into darkness.

" Lucy! I'm here. Don't be afriad, or our connection will be cut" The booming voice calls out. I am not afraid.

" Good. Do you remember?" The voice asks. Huh? I see a little girl with blonde hair and brown eyes, with a lightning bolt hairclip, running from the same man I saw before in the bath tub, and she was running towards my mother!

" Mama! Mama! Papa's gonna get me with his lightning bolt!" the little girl giggled as the older man began to tickle her. The image began to fade away, and so did the voice, although it was still calling out my name...

"-cy...Lucy..." Someone snored. I opened my eyes, and looked up to see Natsu's sleeping face as he snored my name in his sleep.

" Natsu!" I yelled, kicking him out of my bed, not caring if I disturbed his slumber. We have a job to do, anyways!

" Nooooo... don't wanna use transportation!" He mumbled into the carpet, where he had face-planted.

" I really need to find some Natsu-proof windows..." I yawned, stretching out my arms and legs. When I looked at the window, there was a hole melted into it, the glass a pool on the floor. A dark aura appeared around me, and I turned to Natsu, who started to shiver

" Should you go out the way you came? Or will I do it myself?" I growled angrily, sending Natsu out the melted window on his own. I didn't feel in the mood today. My head pounded, and I dropped to my knees, clutching my head. The dream... that little girl had to be me. Where was I? Why does nothing make sense? Who was the person I called papa? That wasn't Jude, for he never played with me like that, and didn't have white hair. My mother was there. She was wearing brilliant golden robes. Why? I got a masive headache as i thought more and more about my strange dream, so I decided to forget. I pulled on my usual blue and white outfit, slipped on my black leather boots that Happy got stuck in last night, then walked out the door, still bothering to lock it, after I grabbed my keys off the counter. I walked out of the buildig, to find Natsu still sitting on the ground where he had jumped from the window. i just shook my head and laughed a bit. Natsu jumped to his feet, and yanked on my wrist, almost pulling my arm from my socket

" C'mon, lucy! We've got a job to go to!" He cheered, running as my arm was straining.

" wait for me!" Happy yelled, flying next to us.

Let's just say the job didn't go as planned. We did get extra money for clearing space, but it wasn't exactly in a good way. While we were fighting the monsters in the forest, Natsu and Erza burnt and sliced down half the forest, giving the small town more room to expand itself, butwe also killed a lot of wildlife, therefore they made us stay and extra 2 hours to hunt for them. It was chaos, but now I have 2 months worth of rent! I silently cheered as I entered the guild with my team, back from the job, and we split in different directions to do our own things.I took my usual spot at the bar, and another image flashed before my eyes. My mother in gold and silver robes. The image faded as i accidetally hit my head on the bar's counter top.

" Lucy, are you alright?" Mira asked me, moving behind the bar to stand in front of me

" No..." I groaned, my head still on the counter.

" Lucy can you tell me what's wrong?" Mira asks

" Mira, lately I've been having these weird... pictures in my mind..." That sounded about right

" Lucy, what do you think it means? What do they look like?" Mira asks again, suddenly concerned

" I saw my mother, and she was dressed in robes. I called a man papa, but it wasn't Jude." I explain, telling Mira everything " I had a strange dream, that might've been my past, and... and... I don't think I am a Heartfilia." I burst.

" but you were born to that name! how can you not be one?" Mira questioned in shock. I lifted my head off the table and looked at the palms of my hands that had suddenly become very interesting

" It just doesn't seem... FEEL right. It doesn't fit me, and somehow, i know it's not meant to be." I exclaim.

" I know what'll take your mind off of things! A boyfriend!" She cheers

" Mira. No. Not today." I sigh. I take one look at the clock, and can start to feel the effects of the extra 2 job hours working their magic on me.

" Mira, I'm going to go home..." I didn't bother saying see you tomorrow, because I've been thinking so much. Like, maybe this isn't who I am. I feel as though I can't stay in one spot if I intend to figure this out. I hop off the stool, and head for the door

" Good night, Lucy! I wish you safe dreams!" Mira yells from across the room. I sweatdrop as guild members look at me, but continue to walk anyways. I shut the large guild dorrs behind me, and summoned Plue almost immediatly to keep me company while I walked home. My heels make a soft tapping noise against the cobblestone road, and I can't help but think, although it sends my brain into overdrive, and I fall back to my knees. I clear my mind of all I'm thinking, and slowly stand up, Plue 'helping' me

" Pu-puun!" He says

" I'm fine, Plue." I assure the little white dog. He tugs on my arm once more, pointing to someone. I look up, and see a dark green-haired girl with purple eyes, who seems to be studying me. She's dressed in a dark gray robe with a lot of chains. I stand up straight

" Tell me who you are, and why you are following me! I'm armed!" I warn, resting my hands on my keys. The girl dissappears into the darkness of the night with an emotionless expression, and glinting eyes. Who was she? Why was she following me? I couldn't get the image of her out of my mind. I couldn't help but notice she had a strange patch on her wrist over the cloak, with a crimson emblem, outlined by white. It looked like a pair of H's surrounded by thorns. It looked familiar.

" Miss, if you stay still, someone might push you into the river. It doesn't lok like the water's very warm tonight." A smooth voice points out. I shake my head, and turn to the source of the voice, a boy, about my age, with black hair and red eyes, walking past. His cape had the Sabertooth insignia, and I knew who the kind person was. Rogue Cheney of Sabertooth

" Ah, of course. Thank you for pointing that out." I thank him, and turn to continue onto my apartment. Then, i notice the missing dog beside me. I turn around, and find Plue, shaking hands with a green exceed in a pink frog costume. It was adorable, but I need my spirit back. I walked to the place, where the two animals were, and at the same time, Rogue did the same. We plucked our pets from each other, and bonked heads trying to pry them apart

" Frosch, if you let go, you get 3 fish." Rogue tried to bribe Frosch

" Plue, if you let go, I'll get you some candy." I bribe him. At both bribes, they let go and jump to us. Rogue and I grab onto each other, desperate so as not to fall over, and as we start backwards, we pul each other together, and hit heads once more.

" Sorry, Cheney-san. Thank you for getting Frosch, though." I say with a small blush as I let go of his cloak, and he lets go of my forearms

" Not a problem, Heartfilia-san." He says, turning away from me " Next time we meet, Rogue is just fine." He says, still facing ahead of him

" " Hm. Same goes for me, Rogue." I nod, turning from him, and getting on my way. I guess not all Sabertooth members are arrogant idiots. I opened the door to my apartment, and entered, taking the leather boots off my aching feet. I flopped down on my bed, but that's when I started to think again. I had to figure this out, no mater how much my head hurts! Is my last name really my own? Am I really Jude's daughter? Who was that girl? The question soared through my mind, and my head punded, but I kept on thinking. I came to one final conclusion out of all of these. I need to go on a journey. A journey to find my true self.

No one's P.O.V.

" Salma, do you have my report?" A heavy old voice asked the dark green-haired woman. She nodded

" Yes, my lord. Quite a long one." salma told the man on the throne. She was currently in the throne room, that was flooded with darkness. the floors looked marble to the untrained eye, but were actually dead humans' bones. The statues are made of onyx, and the only other color in the entire palace was the red of the Rubys and roses that grew alongside the black roses in the undead garden.

" Well, get on with it." He demanded

" Yes, sir." Salma said with slight fear " She's trying to remember, but luckily, she has a seal on her that locks her memories. Her magic is celestial magic, and she does not seem to know about Heaven's Light." Salma started, then took a breath " Not to mention the strange snowman she had that spotted me, and I hid in the darkness. I saw your second son, my Lord." She also tells him

" What of him?" He asked

" You're not going to like this, but he's showing interest in our target." She told him

" What?!" He screams, standing up " This... will actually work quite well, Salma" He chuckled

" How so, your Highness?" She asks him

" use my son to get her to fall in love with him, then turn him against her, capture her, and use her for my own powers. She is the only one who can defeat me, so if I steal her powers before she unlocks them, the world will be like I want it, and then I can find my sons SUITABLE wives, after they meet me, and gain their own true power." He cackled viciously

" I'll keep an eye on her, Salma. you try and get him to meet her once more" he commanded her, bringing up his black crystal ball. He casted a spell on it, and a hazy vision of a girl with blonde hair and brown eyes, sound asleep in bed, but clearly sweating from a distressed dream

" Soon, cherry blossom... soon.." He grinned evilly

Preview of the next chapter: Chapter 2: My travels

" My name's Christian Motomori! What are you doing out here all alone?" He asks me

" I'm Lucy, and I'm pretty confused" i confesssed

" Wanna be confused together?"
