Hey guys this is the first chapter to my newest story, I hope you like it.
July 7 X770
"Mommy, please come back… I need you… please…" I sobbed next to my mothers grave. People came up to the grave one by one, paying their respects to her, as me and my father stood by the grave.
"If everyone would kindly take their seats." The priest said as he walked up the front. My dad walked off to his seat leaving me in the mud next to the grave. I slowly got up and went over to my seat.
The harsh wind blew, causing me to shiver, as short black dress waved in the wind. My blonde hair that was down to my shoulders, also waved in the wind. Rain poured over our heads, everyone had an umbrella including my father, yet he refused to share it with me so I sat with rain pouring down on my head.
"Friends and Family we are gathered here today in honour of Layla Heartfilia. Beautiful mother of one, wife, and friend to many. Layla Heartfilia died on July 3rd X770 when she was hit by a car on her way to the market. So we gather here, on July 7th X770, to honour her and her family." The priest read aloud, as he stood up there.
"May I ask the daughter of Layla, to step up here today?" He asked. I slowly cambered off of the seat and trudged through the mud over to the priest. "Darling girl, what is your name? And how old are you?" He asked me, leaning down.
"L-Lucy. and 6 years old." I mumbled as I looked at him.
"Well Lucy. I would like to read you a poem, is that okay with you?" He asked. I just nodded. "A Mother's love is something that no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain, It is endless and unselfish, and enduring come what may, For nothing can destroy it, or take that love away." He read to me.
"Thank you." I muttered once he was done before returning to my seat.
"Layla Heartfilia was a kind and caring woman who would never fail to make everyone around here happy." The priest started his speech. I zoned out after a few words. Tears slid down my cheeks as I thought about my mother.
'How could you leave me mother?' 'Is what dad said true?' 'Was it my fault you died?' 'Is this all because of me?' 'What will I do without you?' All these thoughts ran through my mind the more I thought into is.
"Thank you for coming out today everybody." The priest said. I snapped out of my trance to realise that the funeral was over. I stood up and followed my dad to the car. He got in the drivers seat but when I tried to get in the back, the door was locked.
"Find your own way home you pathetic brat. Either that or don't come back at all." He sneered before driving off. I looked around only to see that everybody was gone. I fell to my knees and cried next to my mother's grave.
Suddenly there was a bright yellow light that blinded me. When I opened my eyes, gasped and fell back on my but. Standing before me was a giant midnight-blue dragon. It had a big yellow star over its right eye and small yellow stars running down its back and tail.
"Child why are you crying and sitting here all by yourself. It is late and raining." Rang a musical voice in my head. The dragon's mouth didn't move but I could still hear it clearly. "What is your name?" She asked lifting her wing. I flinched at what she might do. She held it above my head to cover me from the rain.
"Um my name is Lucy. I'm here cause my mums funeral and my dad abandoned me." I choked out still scared of the dragon at the moment. In all the fairy tales I have read, the dragon plays the bed guy.
"Lucy, I am an old friend of your mothers and now, I want you to come and stay with me. I will raise you and teach you the ways of my magic. My name is Luna and I am the stardust dragon." Her voice rang in my head again.
"Now climb on my back and I will take you to your new home." She said as she turned around. I didn't know why, but I knew I could trust her. I slowly climbed onto her now spread out winds. "Hold on tight!" She called before taking off into the now night sky.
As she picked up speed, the wind whipped through my hair, sending it flying all over my face. I couldn't help but laugh as we raced through the night sky. The stars glistened above us and the moon lit up the entire sky as we flew s it.
Luna turned off and started to fly towards a mountain that towered above us. She flew to the peek, towards a small cave in the rocks. The closer we got, the larger the cave and the mountain became. She flew into the cave. Once she landed I hopped off of her back and onto the hard ground of the cave. It was only then that I realised I was bare foot.
"Lucy, as for tonight and every other night, this is where we sleep, tomorrow I will take you to the plain of the dragons, and we will begin your training to become a stardust dragon." She told me. I nodded as she lay down on the cave floor, curled up. I played next to her and she pulled m towards her and wrapped her tail around my small body.
July 8 X770
"Lucy it's time to wake up." Luna said, nudging me with her snout. I groaned slightly as I got up and looked around. The previous night came flooding into my mind as I remembered my father abandoning me.
"What time is it." I grumbled as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and yawned.
"Its mid-day." She said with a smile. My eyes bugged out. 'Thats right, the maids would wake me back at the estate but now…'. "You are well on your way to becoming a dragon. Dragons always sleep in. I just woke up myself." She said, her laughter running into my mind.
"Now Lucy, I want you to hop onto my back and I will take you to the land of the dragons." She declared turning her back to me. I climbed up her tail and onto her back, sitting down. She raised her wings and flew out of the cave. I looked below and saw gassy plains as we flew over them. Wild animals stood there staring up at us. I laughed slightly.
"It is good to hear you laugh Lucy." Luna said turning her extra long neck to face me. I just smiled at her. We continued to fly over open green pastures until I started to feel drowsy and eventually started to fall asleep.
Normal POV
Luna flew the rest of the way in silence after noticing that Lucy had fallen asleep. When she reached the field, she landed slowly and softly next to a large lake with a waterfall.
"Hey Luna welcome back!" Igneel called out to Luna. Igneel is a large, dark red fire dragon. He pulled a boy out of the water, before strolling over to Luna. The boy's name was Natsu Dragneel. A boy that Igneel took in about a year and a half ago.
"Shhh." Was all Luna said to them. She lifted Lucy onto one finger and placed her on the floor in front of them.
"Whats that?" Natsu asked, jumping onto the ground himself. He walked up to her and poked her on the cheek.
Lucy's POV
"Whats that?" I heard a male voice ask as I slowly stirred awake. I felt something touching my cheek. I sat up suddenly. "Ah!" I heard the male yell. I looked around and saw I was now sitting on the ground.
Luna was on one side of me, and there was another dragon next to her. It was large and dark red. There was also a little boy, sitting on the ground next to me. He had pink hair and onyx eyes.
"W-Who are you? Luna where are we?" I asked with a slight stutter.
What is it?" The boy asked poking my cheek again.
"Stop that Pinky!" I yell pushing him off me.
"My hair is salmon!" He yelled.
"Pinky!"
"Salmon!"
"Pink!"
"Salmon! S-A-L-M-O-N!"
"You don't have to spell it out! I'm not as dumb as you are!"
"You just met me! You don't know if I'm dumb!"
"Well you'e have to be to die your hair pink!"
"It's natural and salmon!"
"PINK!"
"Thats it!" He yelled jumping on me and tackling me down to the ground. We rolled around in a puff of smoke. He pulled my hair so I bit his hand.
"NATSU! LUCY! STOP THIS INSTANT!" A voice boomed to us. We stopped to look at Luna. His hand was still in my mouth and my hair was in his grip.
"Tell her to stop biting me!" Natsu wined.
"You pulled my hair first pinky!" I yelled.
"SALMON!" He yelled before we started to roll around again.
"ROAR OF THE STARDUST DRAGON!" Luna yelled. Yelled stars and purple wind, came flying towards us, breaking us up.
"You two should't fight!" The big red dragon scolded. "You don't even know each others names yet and you already fought." He said shaking his head at us.
"Natsu, meet my new daughter, Lucy Celeste. Lucy this is Igneel's son, Natsu Dragneel." Luna introduce us.
"…Lucy Celeste?" I asked her a little shocked.
"Yeah! Or do you want to keep the last name of… That man?" She asked. I looked down.
"No! I want your last name!" I said stomping my foot. She just smiled at me.
"Now, shall we begin training." Luna asked with a gentle smile.
"Training for what?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Natsu can you show her?" Luna asked the boy. He just grinned. He held up a fist and lit it on fire. I just gulped. "Igneel trained him to be a fire dragon slayer, and soon, with my help, you will be a stardust dragon slayer." Luna said with a smile. I just nodded.
Okay I know the first chapter is really short but that is because it is just like a preview to their lives for the rest of their lives. Well its hard to explain but either way I will make sure to make the other chapters at least 1000+ words longer.
