Meeting the Demon Queen

" Eh? Lucy? " Her voice went quickly suprised at who she heared from the other line, causing her to drop something that wasn't her phone, the sounds of Cerbera picking something up and grumbling a bit before she focussed her attention back on Lucy. " I'm scared of no one! My family invited me to spent the Christmas and new years with them! I just.. Pretty much didn't have the chance to call you because we've been training. "

Alarice meanwhile clapped her hands together and gave Lucy a smile, it seemed that Lucy was already happy but she wasn't going to talk, she wanted to give those two some time to talk.

Lucy smiled as she heard Cerbera drop something, she had surprised her sister, and she was extremely happy that she could talk to Cerbera again, it was really warming her heart and made all sadness, loneliness and doubt disappear from her troubled min, Lucy couldn't help but snicker a little at Cerbera when she heard her grumble and talk back to her, " Sure sure, So you kept up your training then ? that means that we should see just how well you have done that, Scaredy Cat " Lucy said as she laughed a little.

She smiled as she looked over at Alarice, the demon queen had without a doubt brought more joy to the little demon than any other person had ever done, " Ehm..listen Sis...I got to go, but Thanks...have fun Scaredy Cat !" Lucy said as she hanged up on Cerbera after waiting for her saying goodbye, Lucy would then start to walk up to the Demon Queen and look away a little as she would offer the girl a handshake, she would blush a little as she said in a low tone, " I'm...I'm Lucy...Lucy Stone...or Kanzaki I guess...Both maybe "

Lucy was so cute in the eyes of the Demon Queen, she knew she had made the right decision of recruiting her. Now she just needed to create a bond of friendship with the girl, which she would create with many if not all the members of her faction. She took Lucy's hand with both hands, gently squeezing it and tilted her head to the side so she could atleast keep a certain amount of eye contact with the kawaii.

" My name is Alarice.. I'm happy to meet you. "

Lucy glanced over towards the girl that had now named herself as Alarice, Heeh...that's a pretty name Lucy thought to herself, well she thought most names were pretty in some way, when they had a type of ring to it as her sisters or this demon queen's name, Lucy's golden eyes met with Alarice as she blushed a little, she did have very pretty eyes, and it almost caused Lucy to feel ashamed for having the Demon Queen's eyes meet her own, the eyes that she kinda didn't like very much.

" N-nice...to Meet you...I guess " Lucy said as she looked on for a second, " So...why did you recruit me ?....and what's this army for ?" Lucy asked as she looked on at Alarice, still blushing and now trying to avoid any eye contact, although it was tempting to look back, so the occasional glance came to try and get a glimpse of her beautiful eyes.

After watching Lucy's curiousity always growing enough to keep looking, she brought her hands to the girl's cheeks and holding them softly, moving it so their eyes were locked together again, keeping that warm smile on her face. " You have very beautiful eyes..Don't be so afraid to show them. " She spoke in almost a motherly tone before she rose up to release Lucy's cheeks and pat her upon the head as if she was a good little girl.

" You're I used to be, what i still am. I'm trying to recruit the ones who are special and unique, and form a bond with them, create friendships and enoy eachother's company. To no longer having to hide themselves. "

Lucy yelped a little as Alarice grabbed onto her cheeks and made it so her eyes were forced to stare at into the Demon Queen's lovely blue eyes, she blushed deep dark crimson as Alarice told her that her eyes were beautiful and that she should be afraid to show them, she slowly made sure that she was staring straightly into Alarice's eyes, her head felt hot and it was as red as it could be at the moment, when Alarice rose up and patter her on her head, the blush started to slowly fade away.

" So...you don't want people like me to be lonely ?...You are bringing us together so that we cane be...friends and allies ? that's it ?" Lucy asked as she looked on at Demon Queen with a bit of admiration, it sounded so great, and she seemed so nice and kind.

" Well.. Winning a belt or two would be nice too! " She joked as she ruffled Lucy's hair a bit before she stepped back and admired the kawaii infront of her. Perhaps Lucy was not all too confident in her own looks but Alarice is, she found the girl to be an exact image of a unique girl, someone special that just needed more attention. " But that's the plan, people shouldn't hide away when they are beautiful gems. They just need the ring person to make them shine through. "

Lucy looked up at Alarice as she told her that winning a belt or two would be nice, Lucy smirked a little at this, " Is that why you recruited me and Eladra ? cause we got the Tag Title Contract ? " Lucy asked as she wondered if that might have been the only reason that she had been offered a spot in such a faction, but that was before she heard what Alarice had to say next, she didn't think that it applied to her, even if that was what the Demon Queen meant, she was sure to think that she refereed to herself or someone else.

" Gems ?...right person ? I don't understand " Lucy said as she looked on at Alarice with a bit of confusion riddling her face.

Alarice could only smile when she heard Lucy, moving the present bag over for Lucy to sit on and kneels down infront of her, poking her forehead. " You're a beautiful girl, Lucy. Especially those eyes is what makes you special. I could stare into them all day~ " She teased the girl, trying to explain it in a way perhaps Lucy would understand, " What I really mean is that you should never hide what you truly are. "

Lucy watched as Alarice moved the bag over for her to sit on, and she did, there was no reason to not do what the girl wanted her to do, she smiled a bit and blushed as Alarice told her that she was beautiful, she couldn't meet the girls eyes as she told her that and tried to look away, but when she mentioned her eyes and said that she could stare into the all day, Lucy blushed and then shook her head a little, " Yeah...like a freak show right ? they are so weird and creepy that it's hard to take your eyes of them " Lucy said as looked on at Alarice as she told her that she should never hide who she really were.

The thing was that...Lucy didn't know who she was, she was twisted and confused, was this who she was or was it the thing that wanted to do all the bad stuff, was it something else entirely that she had just buried within herself, she didn't know.
