Chapter 3
Lucy had spent days trying to open Leo's gate and it had become somewhat of a ritual for her. Each day she would pull out the cold silvery key that adorned Leo's emblem and attempt to summon him by her side. Each time that she tried resulted in failure. It was growing harder for her to understand as to why Leo wasn't coming to her aide to chase away the loneliness. What had she done to drive away her dearest celestial spirit? He was all she had but even he had left her behind….Just like Gray.
That Ice prick was such a fraud, she could only assume that he was the reason for Leo's departure. His cool looks and icy breath had drawn her into a trap. Or maybe it was she who trapped herself into an imaginary paradise with that playboy. She had Leo to thank for saving her from the throws of passion when she had been so caught up in the moment. All she wanted was Leo back in her life to help her forget that horrendous nightmare.
"Open …gate of the lion! LEO!" With a graceful swing of the key, a light would erupt from the tip of the key but sadly, no one appeared. Lucy was only greeted with a puff of smoke and the emptiness that overwhelmed her from the result. It was just another attempt resulting in failure.
"Why…Leo? Why do you leave me here alone…?" She whispered under her breath with a pained expression which touched her pale features.
As the day went on, Lucy had attempted to summon Leo a few more times. 'A few more' meaning over 15 times. It was the only thing she could do to distract herself. She couldn't write in her novel, she couldn't visit her Fairy Tail friends and she couldn't do any missions. All because of HIM. Gray was the sole reason she was spiraling down into a world full of pain and loneliness.
Anger and sadness had festered deep in her heart causing her to slam her fist against the desk that she was seated at. Tears spilled from her lifeless chocolaty irises as she whispered, "Save me..please….I can't bare this pain anymore."
Within the Celestial world, 2 days had passed since Leo had left Lucy's side. In Earthland, 2 days equated to 6 months. It was 6 months of unbearable loneliness his dearest Master, Lucy, was suffering through. It was painful for Leo to think about how lonely she was. It had only been 2 days for him but it seemed just as painful, if not worse due to his love for her.
Leo, NO! Loke, could feel the tug upon his gate. Each time Lucy attempted to summon him, it would take every ounce of his strength to resist the call to be by her side.
"Just a little longer, Lucy, and I will be all yours." He knew he wasn't ready yet. He had vowed to himself that he would show Lucy a man; not a cuddle buddy lion.
Loke had been so distracted by his thoughts of Lucy that Scorpio would come rushing in with a fluid upper cut to his jaw. The impact had sent Loke flying across the field and into a dirt ditch. Scorpio and Loke had been in the middle of an intense battle when Loke wrapped himself up in his own thoughts. His lack of focus had resulted in a painful blow which would leave a mark for later.
"Aw, Mister prissy pants pussycat can't handle the sting of a Scorpion?" Scorpio had belted out an obnoxious chuckle that echoed in Loke's direction.
"You need to focus a little harder, old friend, or you won't be getting anywhere near Earthland on your own."
"Yeah, I get it. Don't rub it in my face, insect boy." Leo grunted in frustration as he dusted off his suit and pushed himself up on two legs.
"The fuck….you just call m…"
Scorpio's words were cut short as Loke lunged forward to land a mimicking blow to Scorpio's jaw. The same blow which had humiliated Loke. The upper cut had an intense passion behind it which was followed by a brilliant light. Scorpio was sent flying into the air before crashing down to the soft Celestial earth with a THUD! This was the Reguluus. The brilliant light a Lion possessed with pride. Loke had put his energy and feelings into the blow which caused Scorpio to be knocked unconscious as he landed on the soft green grass in front of Loke.
"Shit…."Loke murmured under his breath. "Didn't mean for it to get like tha…."
This time Lokes' words were cut short as a wave of water slammed into his back sending him flying across the field once again. The power of the water was immeasurable to the power of his Reguluus. Emotions, passion and vengeance had created the intensity behind the wave. It could only be one Spirit responsible for such a back breaking power.
"If you lay a hand on my Scorpio again; then, you will find yourself 6 feet under my waves, Pussy!"
Aquarius was a deadly force to be reckoned with when it came to Scorpio. She had plenty of passion and power. It was a surprise to Loke that she didn't open her own gate, but it was probably because she didn't want too. She tended to be arrogant and self-centered.
While Aquarius was busily tending to Scorpio, Loke would gather his composure and squeeze out the water from his tie. It was going to take him some time to keep up with the Golden Spirits of the Celestial World. He only hoped Lucy could hold on a little longer.
Lucy was beginning to lose track of the days. Months were passing by without a sign of her dearest Leo appearing. It had been a gloomy day within Magnolia which seemed to match the doom and gloom Lucy had felt. It was as if Lucy was becoming like Juvia with her strange behaviors. Every time it rained, her tears would begin to descend. Lucy refused to move from her bed. All she could do was weep into her pillow allowing the sorrow to consume her.
Lucy had been so wrapped up in her sorrow that she had left the window open to her apartment. The incoming wind would guide the droplets within her room to dampen her cheeks and covers. The rain didn't seem to faze Lucy. She just lied silently in bed staring up at her plain white ceiling lost in thought.
As the rain trickled down Lucys' cheeks, a soft whisper could be heard. It familiar sound seemed to grasp Lucy's attention immediately. Even her heart would respond by skipping a beat.
"Ki…"
Could it be, Lucy thought. That was Leo's voice in the midst of the pouring rain. Abruptly, Lucy sat up in her bed and gazed out the window. The blood quickly rushed out of her head leaving her light headed and dizzy. Even in her dazed state, she searched for the little orange ball of fluff. Nothing was there but the soothing voice echoed once again.
"Kiiii….."
Lucy scrambled out from the tangled mess of her blankets to get to her feet. That voice was bringing her warmth and hope which encouraged her to get out of her lonesome bed. Subconsciously, she stumbled down the stairs of her apartment towards the entrance. Lucy had been attired in only her pajamas as she bursted through the grand wooden doors of the apartment. A surge of wind would rush in nearly knocking her off her feet as she searched for the source of the voice. It had to be her Leo even though logic told her he couldn't be there since she hadn't summoned him.
Another whisper danced across the air but this time, it was not the familiar sound of Leo's, "Ki!" It was far different and it had startled Lucy's mental stability.
"My dearest Master, I know you miss the sound of my voice. "
A soft caress grazed Lucy's pale cheek but visibly there was still nothing there. All she could hear was the alluring tone of a male. Then, it dawned on her, the rain was no longer crashing down upon her head. It was as if there was an invisible shield protecting her from the icy cool touch of the droplets. Was it all a dream? No! Lucy was still trembling from the cool breeze which reminded her that everything was real. This was reality and not her imagination. The rain continued to pour down, but it did not touch her. It seemed to avoid her leaving a dry path around where she stood. Once again, that deep alluring voice would break the silence of Lucy's thoughts. It was warm just like the caress upon her cheek was as he spoke.
"Lucy, I just want you to know I am coming home." A soft hum would echo in her ears as the man spoke. Soon, the voice grew louder and Lucy could even feel the warm breath caress the nape of her neck.
"I'm coming home, I'm coming home…tell the world that I'm coming home.
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday.
And though my kingdom awaits, and they've forgiven my mistakes.
I'm coming home. I'm coming home. Tell the world I'm coming home."*
Loke would whisper in her ear gently, "I'll be in your arms again soon, Lucy. I am your Leo and I'm coming home." Loke had managed enough strength to reveal his Celestial form even if it was translucent. It was as if he was physically there with her to drive away the sorrow.
The first thing she would see was his brilliant orange mane. It was the same mane of hair she had seen the day Gray had come over. That day, Lucy tried hard to believe that what she saw was just a figment of her imagination but she could never fully convince herself that what she saw was just a ludicrous image her mind conjured up.
Now, it was hard to convince herself that this wasn't Leo. HER Leo.
"The next you see me…I will no longer be your Leo. I will be the man you have longed for, for so many years. I am Loke. Your Guardian, your loyal companion and your loving lifemate."
Before departing, Loke would wrap his arms firmly around Lucy's curvy figure. She was soaked to the bone which made him feel guilty for dragging her outside in the rain but hell, it was hard for him not to see her and embrace her.
Loke would finally disappear leaving Lucy to stand within the rain once again. She would stand there silently in the rain as she let the words and sensations sink in. It was the cold chill of the rain dampening her clothes that snapped her back to reality. It was all like a fairy tale that she was trapped in and had left her feeling so warm inside and out. Only a man could make her feel that way and apparently, Leo….No! Loke, was that man.
Lucy would finally make her way back inside the apartment after a moment of daydreaming. The landlady would give her an odd expression as she slowly passed by. Lucy's outfit was drenched which caused the very thin material of her pajamas to become translucent. The landlady was about to speak up, but she noticed Lucy was far too lost within her own thoughts to care. Her head had hung low and her feet drug along the hard wooden floor as she headed back towards her room. Loke was consuming her thoughts leaving her confused, hot and needy for another embrace from him. She was unsure if she could make sense of what all happened, but his words had given her hope again.
Once Lucy reached her room, she would strip off her damp clothes and stand in the center of her living room completely naked. Why was she feeling so warm on the inside when her body was trembling visibly from the cold? She had to shake herself of the crazy delusions she was had. At least, she thought they might be delusion. She decided she would just take a nice hot shower with the radio blasting to drown out the images she was having of the man. Before hopping in the shower, she would turn the dial of her radio to blast the music so she could hear it from the bathroom while she showered.
The hot jets would spray against Lucy's face bringing her back to reality as she listened to the radio. Lucy began to run her fingertips along her smooth, pale flesh hoping it would wash away the searing feeling the man's touch left behind.
The radio announcer's voice would echo ,"Today, we have a special dedication to the golden haired beauty of Magnolia. This next song is called, 'I'm coming home' by Diddy Dirty Money ft. Skylar Grey. Hope this song brightens your gloomy days, Miss."
At that moment, Lucy's mouth fell wide open. Something every person has learned in life was to never "drop the soap". Well, today was one of those days Lucy had dropped the soap. Her mouth and eyes were wide in shock as she listened to the song echo throughout her entire apartment. It couldn't be a coincidence. They were the same lyrics Loke had hummed to her as if he had physically been present. Was her lion really going to come home to her after all these months? She could only pray to the Celestial spirits that she would no longer be alone.
