Okay, I really couldn't get this idea out of my head so I decided to post it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairytail or any of it's characters.
I apologize for the wrong spellings and grammars.
Anyway, this is the first time that I'm writing a story that is not my usual canon pair haha.
Prologue
A tale is always told by parents to children when they go to bed. Telling them the legends of how things became this and that. Out of this tales, the most popular one was about a sea goddess that was cursed that every time she falls in love, death or bad luck would fall on the man she love. Because of this the sea goddess hid herself from the world in her lonely sanctuary, a small island surrounded by whirlpools making it that no human can approach her, still waiting for the person who can break the curse. A human boy grew up fascinated at the tale and promised himself that he would be the one to break the curse and save the sea goddess. May it be sheer luck or by the hand of fate, a storm led him to her sanctuary. It was inevitable, the man fell in love with the beauty of the goddess and so did she for it has been hundred of years since she last had a contact with a human. The moment she fell in love with him, she was terrified of the curse, that death may befall on the man she loves and it did. When the man died, the goddess was so heartbroken that she used up all her life energy and used a spell that would ensure the man's reincarnation.
"May you live well in your next life" she whispered to his lifeless body as she felt her energy being drained from her body " May we never meet again for I fear that death would befall on you once again" she cried.
But Fate had different plans for the goddess and the human. She reincarnated them, a hundred years into the future. The goddess was turned into a woman who had lived her life helping people, she had regained her memories of her past life and had continuously hid herself from the world because she fears that he may find her, she still knows that the curse had never left her. The human was reborn as a man who lives life fully with happiness but deep inside he knows he is missing something-no, he was missing someone.
She hides herself, avoiding the inevitability of falling in love. He looks for someone, a person he knew that he should love. And when they they meet, they would surely remember; The tale from long time ago.
Chapter 1 : The Girl Who Can't Love
The sun shone brightly in the beautiful city of Magnolia. It was just like any other day; people passing through the streets on their way to their jobs, street vendors calling out to the people on the streets, children running around the crowded streets. Everyone was just going through their normal daily lives as usual except for one girl.
She stood on top of a sign post, taking in all her surroundings. Her curious green eyes analyzing each and every emotions that passed through each human that she saw. No one cared to scold the girl the danger of falling off, they couldn't see her.
Yes. She was invisible to everyone. This made her job a bit more easier. She can just look up to a man's face so closely, even then they wouldn't notice. She was just an invisible girl that no one else can see.
She looked at the man that was standing near the sign post she was standing on, she twirled her long brown hair as she watched the man closely. He was dressed in a business suit, his black hair and cold eyes giving off a cold exterior to the man. He was checking his watch every few minutes before he would cuss and scowl. This happened for a few more times.
The girl giggled as she floated next to the man. He was handsome, she'd give him that. Suddenly, there was a few beeping sounds before the man took out his phone from his pocket, his face breaking out into an affectionate smile as soon as he saw the name on the screen. But it was only for a few seconds before his stoic expression resurfaced again.
"Hey" He said as he answered the phone call. The man nodded as he listened to the person on the other line. " It's fine, I just wish you would've called earlier so I wouldn't have to wait for so long" he frowned.
There was a few seconds of silence before he chuckled, surprising the girl who was watching him in fascination. "No, I'm not mad. No, the cold didn't bother me, I'm just annoyed at the girls ogling me" he sighed.
The girl couldn't help but giggle since it was true. Every few minutes, whenever a girl would pass by they would stop and stare at the man before they go running off with red faces.
"Okay. sure, see you later then" He then hang up. He look around before he took his leave. The little girl laughed as she watched the fascinating man walked away. " This is why humans are such intriguing creatures, their minds are something that we can't predict. Their hearts aren't something we can't control" she said as she watched a woman laughing as she hugged a man.
"They can love and hate a person at the same time, they can forgive and forget. They can wait for years for someone. Their hearts and mind is full of possibilities that I simply can't predict" she said. "But maybe this is why my job is so fun. I could control their life when they choose to let go"
Yep, they are fun. Especially a certain human woman she has been watching over these past few years.
"Maybe this is why I love being Fate"
In a park in Magnolia where a huge Sakura tree stood in the middle of it, a beautiful woman with long curly waves of blue hair that went past her shoulders sat there. A leather bound book was on her lap, a group of kids sat in front of her listening attentively as she told them a story. She was dressed in a simple white dress that reaches past her knees and a pair of brown boots.
"...And then she died.." She said as she smiled signalling the end of her story.
"No! It's not done yet!" a 6 year old little girl complained.
"Eh? Why do you think so, Amy-chan?"
"Because they did not live happily ever after" Amy stated. "Mommy always read to me stories where the prince and princess lived happily ever after"
The kids nodded in agreement.
"Not everyone gets to live a happily ever after" she smiled sadly.
"But everyone has the chance to make one" a familiar voice joined in. The woman gasped and turned to look at the owner of the voice, a beautiful blonde woman was standing beside her, her warm brown eyes twinkled brightly as he looked at her friends gentle blue eyes. The blonde woman was dressed in a white tube top and brown skirt paired up with knee length brown boots.
"Lucy-san, you scared me!" the woman laughed.
"Haha. Sorry"
"It's okay. What are you doing here Lucy-san?" the blue haired woman asked as she stood up. Her precious book tucked in safely into her slingbag. "Juvia, did you forget our meeting with Gray and Natsu?" Lucy asked incredulously.
"Oh! That! " Juvia frowned "I was so caught up with telling these little ones a story that I forgot about the time but don't worry Lucy-san, I called Gray-sama awhile ago, I already told him to head back to the Guild first"
Lucy sighed. "Okay, now let's get going. Bye kids!" Lucy waved as she smiled at the kids. The two adults bid goodbye to the kids as they walked out of the park and into the parking lot where Lucy's pink jaguar convertible was waiting for them, they quickly got in and the blonde started up the engine. Few minutes later, they were on their way to the Guild.
The Guild is a actually a famous bar where the staffs of Fairy Tail Publishing House usually hangouts every Friday to relieve some stress from work and enjoy some time with their friends. Juvia works as the Commissioning editor whilst her friends Lucy Heartifilia work as an author and Levy McGarden as a Editorial assistant.
"You really like telling stories to those kids Juvia" Lucy commented, making her friend blushed red. "I bet you're going to be a wonderful mother someday since your so good with kids"
Juvia frowned at the word 'mother'. "I think that's impossible for me Lucy-san" she said as she sadly looked out of the window, watching the scenery pass by in a blur.
Lucy gasped. "Oh, I am so sorry Juvia, I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay, Lucy-san"
Juvia smiled sadly at the thought of her having kids. How could she have a family when she isn't even allowed to love? She was born to be lonely all her life, no one should love her and she cannot love someone. Yet, years ago, for once she was able to experience love, happiness in someone else, warmth in another's arms even for a short time.
Everything she cares gets taken away from her that's why she keeps everyone she knows at an arms-length. She didn't tell her friends the real reason as to why she cannot pursue a relationship, she has no problem in the physical department since she is a very beautiful woman. She didn't want them to know about the curse since she knew that they wouldn't believe her. Instead, she told them that she isn't able to give birth and because of that she could not give someone a family.
"We're here" Lucy's voice broke Juvia out of her reverie. The Guild was a simple bar on the outside but the moment you stepped in, it gives off quite a luxurious feeling that's why many people hangs out here. The barmaid - a sexy and beautiful woman is another reason for it's popularity.
"Hey girls! What took you guys so long?" A handsome man with pink hair greeted the two women with a cheerful grin as he led them to their group's usual private room. He donned on a simple white shirt and black jeans with his signature scarf in his neck.
"Sorry Natsu, I just picked up Juvia from the park" Lucy smiled as she kiss her boyfriend on the cheek as an apology. "You still going there?" a handsome dark haired smirked as he looked at Juvia.
"Yes, the kids love my stories Gray-sama!" Juvia smiled cheerfully as she sat next to the man. Gray Fullbuster and Natsu Dragoneel works as Advertising and Editorial photographers for Fairytail.
"Haha. That's good"
"Where are the others?" Lucy asked as she looked around, usually by the time she arrives, everyone was here already. Natsu shrugged " Levy and Gajeel are on their way here but I don't know for the others"
"Man, I'm so tired" Gray groaned as he downed on his drink. Juvia patted the man at the back "At least you enjoyed your trip Gray-sama"
The man grinned. "Yeah, I did but the annoying thing was the mosquitoes at night!" The man happily told the blue haired woman his exciting adventures in the jungle of Arizona.
OoOoOoOoO
"Sting, smile over here!"
"Sting! Is it true that you and Minerva broke up?"
"Over here!"
A handsome man with spiky blonde hair which was jutting outwards named Sting Eucliffe groaned inwardly as he stepped out of his car followed by his best friend Rogue Cheney, a messy dark haired man with bangs covering up the right side of his face along with his red eyes. Sting and Rogue are famous actors and models, the former likes the attention he gets but sometimes it do gets a bit irritating.
"Now, everyone please make way" another blonde long haired man said as he walked up before the two famous men. His name was Rufus Lore, the manager of the two men. "We will be having our press conference in a few minute so please head down to the conference room, we will be there shortly"
He led the two inside the building and into their room. "Honestly you two" he sighed. "We must get ready, remember do not answer any of those Minerva rumors"
Sting scoffed. "You know it's not true Rufus! I would never date her!" Rogue nodded in agreement.
Rufus sighed. " I knew that Sting, she's too far from your taste" he said. "You do know what this press conference is about right?"
"It's about our upcoming movie The Dark Knights which is from the famous book of Lucy Heartifilia" Rogue answered. "I heard that we will be signing up with Sabertooth Productions"
Their manager nodded. "Yes, now please do not say anything unrelated to the movie no matter how annoying their questions are"
Rogue nodded. "Yes"
"Especially you Sting!"
"Hai!"
"Now let's go!"
The trio quickly made their way to the conference room where Sting and Rogue sat in a long table along with the other main casts and director. "Greetings" they said to the director which was a scary looking man named Jiemma. The man mumbled a reply. "Greetings"
"We will now start the press conference, you may now ask your questions" Rufus announced.
A male reporter raised his hand. "This question is for Sting and Rogue. This is the first time for you both in the same movie, what can you say about it?"
Sting decided to answer first as he smiled at the man. "Well, to be honest. I am very happy to be given the opportunity to act alongside my best friend who is an amazing actor like the other cast like Yukino Agria and Orga Nanagear"
Rogue nodded. "I am quite honored too, to be able to act with an amazing cast"
Another reporter raised her hand. "In this movie, which scenes are you looking forward to shoot?"
The beautiful white haired actress named Yukino smiled timidly "Definitely the action scenes"
"Where is the author of the novel that this movie will be portraying?"
This time, Jiemma answered. "Unfortunately, Miss heartifilia is unable to join us today since she has a busy schedule"
"This is for Sting, Is it true that you and Minerva broke up?"
Rogue and Rufus simultaneously looked towards Sting's direction and nervously waits for his reaction with the blonde manager silently praying that the blond actor/model would pay heed to his words. Unfortunately, Sting never listens to anyone except maybe for Rogue.
Sting was visibly annoyed at the question and tried hard not to get up from his seat and punch the daylights out of the reporter. He smiled and said "To clarify things up, Minerva and I never dated each other from the start, so please stop asking me about that"
Of course, his statement only made the reporters threw him more questions.
"But you two were seen together in a cafe!"
"It was simply coincidence that she was there, besides I was a few tables away from her" Sting scoffed.
"You two met backstage after her performance in the Hargeon Anniversary Concert"
"Of course, we would meet there. I was performing next" Sting wanted to roll his eyes at the stupidity of their questions.
"Okay, That's enough for today." Rufus said as he motioned Rogue and Sting to leave and they immediately headed down to their van.
"What the hell were you thinking?" Rufus scolded the blonde model but the latter was too tired to listened and so he leaned into his seat and fell asleep.
OoOoOoOoO
"Who are you?" A young guy asked nervously as he walked inside the dark cave where he saw a bright light. "I said, who are you?" It took a few more minutes before he heard a soft voice speak. "How did you find this place?" A beautiful lady dressed in a white robe appeared out of nowhere, she had long blue hair cascading past her shoulders and blue eyes that seems to draw you in. She had pale white skin that made him think she was a ghost for a second. She was a real beauty.
"Who are you?" He asked once again.
Her beauty drew him in. But it was not her beauty that caught his heart. He fell in love with her the moment he heard her say her name.
"I'm Juvia"
OoOoOoOoO
