Fairy Tail: The Legacy
Chapter 1: An Unexpected Event
"Let's Go!" she shouted to her little fox companion, as they jumped out of a third story window with a sack.
"Stop that thief!" a voice shouted after them.
"No one will ever catch us!" she shouted as she ran away with her fox at blinding speed.

The twosome arrived back at their secret base that was stationed in a large hollow oak tree.
"This was such a big hull! We'll get a lot of Jules for this stuff! Right Kaeni?" the girl giggled and pet her companion as he happily barked.
She carefully unloaded her hull and put the items in her 'to sell' pile. After that, she lay down on her bed that was a sack filled with leaves and soft soil.
"Ahhh... This is the life." she said to herself as Kaeni curled up with her. She pet him and sighed. "But I feel like we could do something better than steal and sell... If only we could join a guild. No one would want us though- I don't even know how to use my magic properly..."
She sighed again and turned to look at an emblem she had inscribed on the wall.
"If only... I could join Fairy Tail..."

The next day.

She sat up and looked around the room confused.
"I guess I fell asleep..." she said to herself.
"Woof!" her little fox barked and pointed towards the door, signaling that someone was near the base.
"Shhh!" she commanded and listened to see if she could identify who was outside.

"Natsu! You're such an idiot! I can't believe you got us lost in some wacko forest!" a female voice shouted.
"Chill out Lucy! I can get us out of this!" the male voice replied.
"Yeah, but you can't even find your way around the guild without me helping you and you've been there for how many years?" said a voice that she couldn't really identify.
"Shut it Happy! You don't know nothin'!" the male voice yelled.
"Who are they?" she wondered out loud.

"Naaaatsuuuu!" the female voice whined.
The male shushed her. "Quiet, there's someone else here." he said.
'Shoot! How did he know that!?' she thought to herself. 'Looks like its time to scram.'
She quickly hid her stolen goods in her emergency hiding place then went out her emergency exit with Kaeni.
"What do you mean there's someone else here? Its just us three." Lucy said.
"No, there's someone else here. I can sense it." he said looking around for anyone who might be nearby.
"Just forget it Natsu... Let's get outta here. Its creepy." she protested.
"But whoever's out there will be able to lead us out of here. That's my plan." he explained finally.
"Ohhhhh. That makes sense I suppose. But how do we find this supposed person in the woods?" she asked puzzled, still wondering if there really was a person at all.
"Just leave it to me." Natsu said ad he ran off into the forest, leaving Lucy alone.
"Hey! Don't leave me behind!" she yelled. "Natsuuuu!"

'He's actually looking for us!?' she thought as she kept running through the forest. Her pet fox looked up at her, wondering what they should do.
She stopped and stood in the middle of a pathway. "I guess we just let him find us then." she said to Kaeni as she took a seat on a rock. She took out a small wooden flute that she had made a while ago and began to play it.
Kaeni danced around her playfully.
"What's that sound...?" Lucy thought as she continued to walk in the direction Natsu went earlier.
'That's gotta be the person I sensed.' Natsu thought to himself.
A little while later Natsu came across the girl.
"Hey you." he said to her.
She stopped playing her flute and looked up at him.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Do you know how to get out of this stupid forest? Me and my friend are kind of lost." he asked.
"Eh? So that's all you wanted... hahaha!" she laughed. "Sure I can show you and your friend out of the forest."
"Natsu! There you are!" Lucy said as she caught up with Happy. "Don't run off like that!"
"Haha sorry Lucy. But look, I found a girl who can take us outta here." he replied.
Lucy looks at the girl. "Oh so there was someone in the forest..."
"Yeah, so I was right. Heh." he bragged.
"Can we just get outta here? I want to go home and eat some fish." Happy said.
"Alright then, if you want to get out of the forest follow me this way." the girl said staring to lead the way, Kaeni following her.
Natsu, Lucy and Happy followed after her as well.

After a while, they finally reached the end of the forest.
"Finally! Light!" Lucy exclaimed as they ran out of the dark forest.
"I'm never going back in that forest ever again!" Natsu said as he stretched and yawned.
"Let's go home!" Happy chimed.
"Hold on." Lucy went up to the girl. "Thanks for taking us out of the forest. My name's Lucy."
"It was no problem really... I'm Clare and this is my fox friend, Kaeni." she introduced.
"What's the point in introducing ourselves if we're leaving?" Natsu said turning to Clare and Lucy.
Clare finally noticed Natsu's tattoo, which was the Fairy Tail symbol.

"You're... Fairy Tail wizards...?"
