Chapter 1: Free

Run. Run. Run.

Sweat trickled down my back as I ran as quickly as possible. The humidity of the forest was not helping me as the heat consuming me. It was suffocating me, begging me to stop and rest.

Gotta go faster. Come on! Didn't come this far to get dragged back.

I paused for a short breath as I looked around. The sounds of footsteps got closer making my heart speed up.

Distance first. Then hide.

Okay, not much of a plan but it's better than continuing to run blindly, I needed to be at least one step ahead. I sprinted forward, trying to maneuver around trees and roots. The burn in my legs and lungs just begging me to quit.

Gotta use this terrain to our advantage.

I kept moving forward as fast as I could, trying to see if any trees would allow me to climb up or if anything looked big enough to hide in. Nothing looked promising.

Dammit.

The noises were getting closer, making my chest hurt. I took a deep breath trying to ease the pain.

Come on there has to be something!

I decided running in a straight line to put distance between us is not a good idea. I began to curve my trail and zig zag as much as possible. My adrenaline was starting to lower and I was getting tired. Fear began to crawl up my spine making my chest hurt more.

Don't panic. Don't Panic.

The noises sounded farther away, hopefully my plan was working or he was tiring out. Whichever it was, I wasn't gonna question it. I slowed down to take a breath and asses the situation. I needed a plan.

Okay, okay, breathe. Let's take a breath and asses. Don't panic.

Telling myself not to panic was not working as my heart pounded loudly in my ears. I took another breath to try to calm myself and think properly. In between breaths I heard a familiar noise.

Water? El río? A way out!

Hope bloomed in my chest replacing the panic that was trying to suffocate me. The sound of something snapping in the distance spurred me into action. I ran as quickly as I could, hoping and praying that this is what I needed. The footsteps were getting closer. As I neared the source of the sound my heart dropped. It was dangerous rocky rapids.

Son of a b—

"There you are." A voice sneered behind me.

My heart stopped as a cold wave of fear came over me making me freeze.

No! This isn't how it's going to end!

I gritted my teeth as I forced myself to turn around. My knees began to shake as I faced the disgusting voice. A greasy looking man with thin graying hair and a bearded face sneered at me. My stomach rolled looking at him. His eyes were filled with malice and craziness. I avoided looking at his eyes as I faced him. His smirk making me want to disappear.

"Did you really think you could run away from me again? Did you really think you would make it this time?" He smiled at me showing off yellow teeth that made me want to vomit. "Regrésate and I will lessen the punishment." He took one step forward. "Promise."

My eyes began to water as I fought my panic. My mind blank as I tried to come up with something, anything to get away from him. My heart was racing making my chest hurt. I just wanted the pain to go away. The hurt, the humiliation. I just wanted it to go away.

The sound of the rushing water behind me seemed to get louder. He took one more step and I shifted my foot back but didn't move.

A single thought in my mind came forward making my heart begin to slow. I grabbed that thought and didn't let go. I blinked away the tears and I stood up straighter as a new feeling came over me.

I refuse to go back.

"No," it came out breathless, I shook my head slowly as my breathing became harder and harder but not from fear. He stopped moving as if second guessing his hearing.

"What did you say to me?"

"I said no," I repeated with a little more energy, "I will not." A new rush of adrenaline was filling my system.

His face became red as he took another step forward. I gritted my teeth as I took one determined step back. He froze for a second as he assessed the situation.

"No?" He smiled like he knew something I didn't, "where are you gonna go? Hmmm? Did you develop an ability to fly?" He snorted, "or are you gonna turn into a little sirena and jump into the river?"

I stayed silent, as my decision seemed to take a hold of me, the new feeling making me sure about what was going to happen. A sense of peace came about me as I grabbed on to this feeling making my heart neat steadily.

"ANSWER ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU!" He yelled. I flinched at his voice but refused to duck my head.

He took another step forward and I took two steps back. One more and I would be free.

"I am not going back," I stood up straighter and looked him in the eye, every single moment of pain, fear and humiliation danced through my head, making my resolve more solid. Freedom was one solid step away. Freedom.

"You wouldn't," he dared, "you would not survive."

"That is the point," I replied confidently and as loudly as my raspy voice would allow me, "I will have my freedom. And I will be free. Like a fairy."

I took the last step and leaned back never breaking eye contact with him. He lunged at me snarling like an animal that lost its lunch. Silence and cold embraced me pulling me to its rocky bottom. My eyes closed as I felt my aches become numb from the frigid water.

I am free.

Memories came and went as the cold river pulled me further and further away. My mind became groggy as I let everything go. The weight of everything lifting completely.

Like a fairy.

A/N:

Hello! How is it going? My name is masimagine. Just wanted introduce myself and this fic. This is a FAIRY TAIL fan fiction, i will be incorporating stuff from the anime and the manga... This story will go past the anime so be warned! Also, this is going to be an OC falling into Fairy Tail universe. Obviously spanish is inserted because she is of Hispanic descent and later on you will see how the other dude fits in also.

I have gathered inspiration and courage from user HiddenEnigma. I had an idea and she did too (meaning we both had a similar idea but not exactly, you'll see why if ya keep reading!) CHECK HER OUT! She has an awesome amazing heartwarming fic for Fairy Tail that makes me happy! Check her out! DO IT! GO!
