Hello guys! This is my new story I'm adding, this is the NaLu one I promised a while back, it's finally here! Hallelujah! So uh, yeah! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Okay enjoy!~


It was a birthday. A joyous, happy time for everyone. Well, everyone except little Lucky Lucy Heartfilia who, unlike most rich six year olds who spent their parties dressed in the finest pastel pink party dresses and tiaras, she spent hers in a bathtub in her En Suite bathroom. She was scared. No, petrified. And Lucy was alone.

She heard screams. Feminine screams. And then,

Drip...drop...drip...drop...thud.

Lucy's heart froze, her eyes widened and her finger nails bit into her small palms. There were footsteps, they got closer and closer.

"Luuuucyyy?!" A masculine voice sang, it was unnatural and creepy. And belonged to her father.

"Hey, my little darling...come out of the bathroom, your mother and I are just playing a game. Yeah, a really fun game!" Lucy didn't dare answer.

"Aww, come on. Fine, I'll leave a beautiful dress and lots and lots of sweets and candy and birthday cake on your bed so when you're ready..." He paused. Lucy hugged herself tighter.

"Come out" the voice growled. The footsteps faded slightly but not enough to alert Lucy that he was out of her room, she wasn't safe yet.

Lucy carefully got out of the bath tub, and looked at the door. Cake and candy did sound promising...but Lucy wasn't stupid, she carefully traced the scar that ran up her arm and winced slightly, it didn't hurt. Not physically anyway. She had learnt her lesson. Lucy straightened her nightdress and carefully opened the bathroom window and climbed out, Lucy faced the ground. It was a sheer drop. She'd had worse falls. Falling, falling, thud. She landed in the bushes that surrounded her house. There was a loud crash as she fought her way through the shrubbery and when she was finally free she looked up to her bathroom window and saw the crazed eyes...of her fatherly figure.

The cold, red knife glinted in his hands,

"Lucy!" He screamed and threw the knife down towards her, it very...nearly...hit, landing barely two feet in front of her, cutting off a few roses that were blooming. They fell to the ground silently. Lucy ran, ran as fast and as far away as she could. Far from the forgotten presents that were worth so much not even an hour ago.

Lucy's seventh birthday eventually came around and the orphanage that she belonged to threw a massive party for her, but that wasn't the best surprise. There was cake and sweets and friends and music and dancing and presents and best of all, when Lucy's party had 'finished' she was lead to a back room where a curtain was held. The owner of the orphanage, Kira, pulled back the curtains and...there stood two figures. A tall man and a shorter woman.

"These are your new parents, Lucy! Happy birthday!" She took no time in running and embracing them in her tiny arms. This was indeed Lucy's happiest day.

Then came the eighth birthday. Lucy was finally happy and nothing could get in her way. Almost nothing. She woke up at eight in the morning to the smell of fresh pancakes and brioche, Lucy ran down the stairs leading to the kitchen and...

Surprise!

Her parents were standing holding two presents each and behind them was a stack of chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate brioche. Lucy was dumbfounded. She squealed and hugged her parents tight, breathing in their familiar scent wishing that this moment would last forever. After an amazing lunch and more than a few slices of cake each, Lucy and her parents slumped on their couch, deciding to spend the rest of the day with each other...not doing much. About halfway through the movie they were watching, Lucy's dad suddenly got up and smiled.

"Now, Lucy. I'm just going to the town to get something, I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?" Lucy turned to her mother for any hints on where he may be going but she just smiled innocently. Lucy's dad left.

The movie ended, so Lucy and her mum watched another one, and another. And one more until night fell. But Lucy's dad hadn't come back.

"It'll be fine, Lucy! Don't worry so!"?was the only phrase that came out of her mothers mouth. Even then, Lucy could see she became more anxious. Ding, Dong. Ding, Dong. The grandfather clock in the hall sounded the arrival of the eleventh hour. Her dad still hadn't returned and now her mum was in a state of panic. The door sounded and little Lucy ran to it, yelling. Daddy! Daddy! But he wasn't there, in his place a solemn faced policeman stood, his hat held in his hands, covering his chest.

You're not my daddy, where is he? Lucy asked politely, the officer shook his head.

I need to speak to your mother, may I come in? Lucy lead him through the door, to her mother.

A scream filled the tiny house as Lucy sat on the stairs, trying to block them out. Trying to block the world out.

I'm afraid that your husband died in a car accident earlier this afternoon. No, her daddy couldn't be gone...

I'm sorry ma'am, it was a direct hit...he would have died instantly. Lucy hugged her knees tighter and tighter until the blood stopped flowing to it.

Ma'am, I need to go now. I'm truly sorry for your loss, if there's anything I can do to help you. Call the police station, we'll be happy to help. Lucy stood and caught the officer leaving the doorway.

You're lying. The small girl said, the officer turned around with surprised eyes.

I know you're lying. There's no way daddy could be dead. No way! Tears spilt from Lucy's chocolate eyes and the officer knelt down until he was eye level with her.

Listen, Kid. I know this is hard for you but it's certain that he died. Why not go comfort your mum? And he left. Shutting the door gently behind him. Lucy tip-toed through to the living room,

Mummy? The sobbing woman looked up briefly and said.

Lucy, please...just get to your room. Lucy obeyed.

Then came the ninth birthday, Lucy had a hard day at school and staggered home. Life was far from perfect anymore. She gently opened and closed the door, her mum had become very violent lately and Lucy couldn't do that today, she couldn't bear it.

Mum? She gently called out, there was no response.

Mum? She had to be in, the door was open. Lucy wandered to the house until she came across something. A pair of her mothers favourite shoes at the bottom of the stairs. Lucy's heart burst.

The top of the stairs couldn't come quick enough, Lucy ran to the bathroom, no, empty. To her parents room, no, empty. She couldn't have, she wouldn't have. Lucy walked slowly to her room, waiting for the enviable. She opened the door to her room...

Creeeaaaak. Creeeaaaak. Lucy screamed.

She arrived at the orphanage she grew up in a week later. It was Kira who greeted her, but Lucy wasn't the same. Her chocolate eyes were dull, lifeless and full of hate.

Lucy...I...ah...I'm sor- Lucy glared at her.

I don't want your pity. I'm not sad anyway. Crying and being sad is for weaklings. I don't need you pitying me. Lucy Heartfilia had gone.

Lucy Heartfilia walked through the gates of Fairy Tail High. Avoiding everyone, like she had learned to do so...so very long ago. Then the crowd of screaming fan girls made her remember that a new kid was arriving at school, ugh. She quickly turned around and began walking, she heard footsteps, they got faster and faster and faster.

"Hey, excuse me, you!" Lucy spun around, glaring.

"What?" She snapped and the pink haired boy jumped back a little,

"Hey, no need to be so hostile. I'm Natsu, I'm new here and I was just wondering if you would show me around the school?" Lucy scowled and kept walking,

"No" Natsu ran up to her and kept her pace,

"Aww, why not? You look lonely!" Lucy stopped as something in her mind snapped, all falling into place. Someone noticed. No, she had to keep up her facade, let anyone close and they'll hurt you, or worse...you'll hurt them.

"If I show you around the school, will you stop following me?" Natsu smiled,

"Sure!" Lucy grabbed his wrist and dragged him around the school, then headed to her first class. This weirdo was going to be the death of her.


So, I don't have much to say really, this story is going to be pretty long I think so chapters will take a while to come out but I'm sure it'll be worth it, okay well! Review and I'll see you all next time!

Bai Bai! ~
