Hello there! I am very new to writing stories, but I really wanted to write one since I found out there are barely no storys about Sting and an OC character, so I just might as well write one. I am horrible at writing and this story is going to suck, just so you know. I may not remember fully about every detail about fairy tail but I will do my best!
I do not own fairy tail.
"Akari" a faint male voice spoke within pure blackness. "Akari!" it grows louder, who is this man? Why is he calling my name? suddenly, I see this face, he looks old, maybe in his 30's, he has similar dark purple hair as me, yet different colored eyes. Who is this man? Why am I getting this familiar sensation? My thoughts were interrupted as the man screamed "AKARI RUN!" the man vanished back in the pure blackness I heard another familiar voice, this time is was girl, she sounded young "I can't wait to turn your pretty face ugly" she laughed. Her laugh was so disgusting I felt my face cringe. "then I will be the prettiest girl and all the boys will have to love me" she laughed, at the same moment I felt this pinch in my arm, whatever she was putting into my arm felt like lava seeping into my body. I wanted to scream to the pain, but I couldn't, I couldn't move. The pain got worse and I couldn't scream, I kept screaming in my head, louder and louder. My eye finally opened wide as a haunting scream came out of my mouth. I looked around to find out it was just another dream. I quickly grabbed onto the necklace I was wearing, it was a simple gold necklace with a dangling sapphire stone. I don't remember how I got this necklace or if it was a gift but all I knew it calmed me down whenever I panic. I played with the stone between my fingers as I tried to even out my breath. I surveyed what was around me and all I could see was boxes of goods and I felt my body swaying back and forth, I sighed as I remembered where I was, on a boat heading to Ishgar.
I went up to the deck to get some fresh air to get rid of this nauseating feeling I got from that dream. Who is that man that kept telling me to run? How does he know my name? I looked beyond the sea lost in my thoughts. I didn't know exactly why I was leaving Alakitasia, but I had this gut feeling that I needed to leave. I couldn't pretend that it was hard for me leave, in fact It was easy for me. it wasn't like I had any family or friends back where I was, hell I didn't exactly had a home, I had a tiny square made of wood and leaves deep in the forest where I woke up in. my memories before waking up in the forest was all but a puzzle of multiple missing pieces. I sighed then I heard a man yelling "Land!" I came out of my thoughts and quickly ran to the front of the boat, I was so happy to finally see land, it felt like forever since I left Alakitasia to the point I was going to start calling this boat my new home.
As I stepped onto the new land I couldn't help but smiling as I see people passing me, some where carrying fishes and some had kids with them "mommy can I have some candy" I heard a little boy as he passed by me, not giving me any attention, "No, I don't want you to spoil your dinner, your father is coming home today" I heard the boy yell in excitement about his dad coming home. My smile quickly dropped, I wish I had a dad to come home to, even a mom. Why would they leave me? I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts no! I must not get sad, I am in a new place filled with new adventures and hope! I straighten my posture as I headed to one of the merchants, "Good day ma'am, we have the freshest fruits Fiori has to offer" the woman smiled with pride. I skimmed over the delicious tasting fruits, some I have never seen back home. My stomach growled as I remembered I had no money. "here, I bet people can hear your stomach from miles away" the women said as I looked up to see her holding an apple in front of me. "I-I-I couldn't ma'am, I don't have money to pay you" I said shyly. "Don't worry about that sweetie, a young girl like you needs to eat if you want to get strong" I bowed to the woman "thank you so much" as I walked away eating the apple I went back to looking around at all the different shops and see smiles of the people who walked past me. I have been here for 5 minutes and I can already tell this is nothing like Alakitasia, the people here are so nice and carefree. I was lost in thoughts till I ran into someone "hey, watch it kid" a man said, I quickly looked up and saw this tall man, he has blonde hair and an annoyed look on his face, "Hey, I am not a kid! I am 12!" I explained, he gave me a bored look, I noticed he had a scar of a bolt on his eye. "I don't care kid, watch where you are going next time" he said as he pushed his way past me, I wonder what crawled up in his butt to make him so mean. huffed and started to keep walking in the same direction, I had no idea where I was going.
Soon I found myself away from the crowded street. "well well well, isn't that a nice necklace you have there" a raspy voice echoed from the darkness in front of me. Something felt wrong about that voice and I turned around ignoring whoever spoke and tried to go back into the crowed as I felt my arm being grabbed and pulling me back, "didn't your parents tell you its rude to ignore someone" the voice showed his face, he smirked at me as he saw me clearly. "well aren't 'cha a pretty looking girl, you look to young to be carrying a precious necklace around, why don't 'cha hand it over and I promise to take good care of it for you" his grip on my arm tightened, I can figure out by the tone of his voice that he wasn't going to take a no for an answer. "let me go or else" I threatened him, he started to laugh and tighten his grip even more, "What 'cha goin' do little girl?" he teased as he brought me closer to him. I started to panic what am I going to do, I cant fight him, he is stronger than me I felt tears forming in my eyes but I refused to let them fall, I was going to stand my ground somehow, I punched him in his face with my free arm and with the surprise the man let go of his grip and I started to run. I didn't get far enough away as he grabbed my shoulders and slammed me into the nearest wall, I felt the pain of the impact, but I held in my scream. "you done it girl, I'm going to take that necklace and ruin that pretty face of yours" he whipped his lip that had blood from my punch and was getting ready to punch me in return. I closed my eyes in fear, I can't protect myself, I can't let him take my necklace away from me, I won't let him! I must fight- pain filled my thoughts as his fist connected to my face, this time I let out a yell as I fell to the ground. He grabbed my necklace and yanked it off my next. I started crying, I cried because of the pain in my jaw but I cried because he took the one thing close to me. I can't let him take it! I must fight, I must take it back! "IM TAKING IT BACK FROM YOUR FILTHY HANDS" I heard myself yell to the man, I felt anger rush through my body, my hair started to sway around my face, what is going on? I thought as I felt this power inside of me, I didn't question it even further as a spark started to form in my hand. It wasn't big but I threw it anyways, hoping it would make the man give back my necklace and to leave me alone. The small ball of spark hit him in his shoulder, he stepped back a few feet and grabbed his shoulder as he let a small yell escape his lips. "you've don't its little lady, now I'm going' kill you" he lunched towards me. I felt weak from the strange power from earlier I couldn't move, I closed my eyes again waiting for the final blow. My ears burned with a strange sound and I heard the man scream, I open my eyes to see what happened and I saw the man on the floor burnt to a crisp. "Your mom ever told you it was wrong to pick on little girls" a voice from behind me said, I turned around to see who saved me and came face to face to the blonde man from earlier, "what are you doing here?" I asked, the man ignored me as he pushed past me again, I turned around angry "even though you saved me I still think you are a jerk" I told him as I closed my eyes and stuck out my tongue at him. "I could care less, like I said, be careful where you are going, next time I won't be there to save you" he stated as he grabbed the necklace from the man and threw it to me as I caught it. I didn't want to admit to him, but he was right, I needed to be more careful to were I'm wondering to. "That little spark earlier, that's cute" he mocked, the small sensation of gratitude I had for him vanished with that sentence. He left again without saying another word.
My mind started to go crazy as I walk into the crowed once more, what did he do to stop that thief? Was it magic? And what was that weird sensation I felt earlier? Was I also able to do magic? I sighed as I couldn't find any answers to my question, I headed to the train station, I sat in one of their benches to rest as I tried to figure out all these new questions I had. A few moments later I saw the blonde hair man again as he stepped into the train, if I want answers, I have no doubt that jerk has them, I quickly entered the train before the doors closed, I walked down the train scanning the seats till I found him. He was in the far-left corner looking through the window. I stood where he sat till, he looked up at me with a confused look "look kid, I don't know why you are following me" I ignored what he said and sat myself down in front of him "what did you do to stop that man?" I began to interrogate him, he looked at me for a minute "with my magic of course" I knew it! "what type of magic do you use?" "lightning, what's up with all of these questions" he started to look annoyed, which I ignored, "when you said that my spark was cute, do you think that was magic like yours?" I couldn't help but wonder if I had magic, and how long I had them, "you created this spark, which I'm guessing its lightning like mine, but you still need serious training to be on my level" he explained in a bored tone. We sat there in silence for a while, I looked out of the window and watched houses pass by, if I want to get stronger to be able to protect myself I need him to teach me, maybe if I get stronger I will find all the answers I need, like who am I, who was that annoying girl in my dreams, who was that man telling me to run. "that's it, I decided I want you to train me" he gave a shocked expression "listen kid, I'm not a teacher or anything, okay? If you want to train, then go find someone else" I bit my lower lip as I thought how I was going to get him to train me. More time has passed as we both stared into the window "listen here 'grandpa' I am going to follow you where ever you go, I don't have a home or family to worry about so I have all the time in the world to follow you till you teach me" the blonde male sighed "first of all I am not a grandpa, kid." I stared into his eyes with pure determination he finally sighed again "I can tell you aren't bluffing about following me everywhere, fine, but don't think its going to be easy learning how to hone your powers kid, and as a first lesson, never call me grandpa again unless you want to die" I smiled and squealed in excitement, I am finally going to learn how to use magic! I am going to get strong and return to Alakitasia to find all the answers I need! And no one will be able to stop me! "by the way my name is Akari, nice to meet you" I held out a hand, "Laxus" he shook my hand.
Laxus and I have been traveling around the world training for a few months, I learned he was part of a guild called Fairy Tail but was banished, the master of the guild was his grandfather and it had hurt Laxus to be banned from a guild he grew up in. he made it his own mission to become stronger and kinder so that his grandfather had to take him back one day. Which is why he is taking me in, he thought that teaching me how to use my magic is a way to be a kind person. In fact, I wouldn't have put it like that, his teaching was rough, to the point I wanted to quit, but I wanted to find answers and I couldn't reach them until I was strong enough. Through the months of us traveling he also learned about my past, as much as I could remember. He told me he will help me as much as he can so I can achieve my goal. To think I thought he was a jerk months ago, I can tell he had a kind soul, but he didn't want anyone to know. Laxus has slowly became my first friend I ever had, he felt like family.
One day we were in a town called Magnolia, which I found out was his home town and that his guild was here as well. We went into this bar and sat down. We ordered some food and as we waited, I couldn't help but ask, "what are we doing in your home town? Are we going to see your guild?" I was kind of excited to see his guild, by the stories he had told me it felt like it would be an interesting place to visit. "no, remember I am banished, which means I can not step foot into that place" as my excitement went away I heard a girl, "Laxus, is that you?" we both looked up to see this white haired women smiling, she was about Laxus age and wore a pink and white dress, "Mira, what a surprised seeing you here" Mira giggled, "don't be silly, you know I come here to get supplies for the bar in fairy tail" she glanced over to me "and who might you be" her tone was sweet and as I looked at her face she was also very pretty, "my name is Akari, I'm here with Laxus for training" Mira seemed surprised to hear that Laxus was willing to help a stranger. "well isn't that nice, I knew Laxus had a soft side" she smiles, I noticed a faint blush appear on Laxus's face, I made a mental note to bother him about it later. "oh, before I leave, I wanted you to know that master has picked Natsu, grey, Juvia, big brother and Cana to participate in the S-class tournament" Laxus was quite for a moment, "its been that long huh, old man is crazy to let Natsu step into our sacred land, knowing him he is going to ingulf it with his flames" Laxus rolled his eyes, Mira didn't say anything to his comment, "hopefully ill see you again, everyone in the guild misses you…..even master" she made sure he heard the last part, Laxus was quite while we ate. "what is the S-Class tournament?" I couldn't keep my interest at bay any longer. Laxus sighed "it's when the master chooses certain wizards he thinks could be strong enough to start doing S-class missions, but before that they need to test out their strengths and whoever wins will become the next S-class wizard" S-class wizard huh, I remember Laxus telling me about the stages of request wizards were allowed to take. "are you an S-class wizard?" surely he has to be, he magic is strong "was" he said and stood up, "listen kid, I hate to leave you like this but there is something I need to do" I was shocked of what he just said, he couldn't be leaving me right? He handed me a pouch filled of jewels, "take this, this should be enough to buy yourself a place to stay and some food, take some job here to earn more money while I am way" I stood up and slammed my fist on the table, causing everyone at the bar to stare "what do you mean you have to leave? Why can't I go with you?!" tears started to form. "listen kid, I just need to go and visit our sacred land, you can't come with me because you are not a fairy tail member, I promise I will be back, just wait here" tears began to fall down my face "YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER, REMEMBER YOU WERE BANISHED, THEY DON'T WANT YOU THERE!" I yelled without thinking, I stopped and realized what I had said, "I-I-I-I'm sorry I didn't—" "I know kid" he put his hand on my shoulder, "I'm not leaving you for good, I just need to visit our first master's grave and pay my respect before Natsu destroys the island, I promise I will be back in a few days" he then walked out of the bar, tears still falling down my face.
A few days later, I manage to buy myself a small apartment near the fairy tail guild, I know Laxus wasn't part of the guild but I still wanted to be close to it so I can tell him all the crazy things his old friends have been up to. As I walked past the doors to the guild, I heard a young boy talking to an older man, "dad, what do you mean the island disappeared" I stopped, island? Are they talking about the sacred island Laxus went to? I hide around the corner to gather more information. "Romeo, I'm sorry to tell you but the island just disappeared, the council had search parties and hell so did we, but neither of us could find any of the guildmates" the other man said with pure sadness, the young boy started to cry "What about Natsu?! I know he must be out there, let me go and find him and the others" the older man just stayed quite for a moment, "son, I know it's hard but—" the young boy ran away from his father heading towards the docks. I held my hand over my mouth as tears streamed down my face. There is no way, if the island is gone, if the guildmates where gone, that means so is Laxus, he promised me he would come back, HE PROMISED! I ran back towards the house and slammed the door shut behind me, I am alone again, I lost the only family I had I started to sob into my pillow. Hours has past and I finally cried all the tear I had in my body. I felt weak and my cheeks were sticky from all of crying. I started a bath and I just laid there with no emotion left in my face. I'm going to keep on training, I'm going to get stronger and find Laxus, I know he is out there, he must be, I promise I will become stronger and find you Laxus.
7 years had passed, Akari's hair had grown longer and her body formed into a women's body. She kept her promise. She trained every day since the sad news of the island disappearance. She became stronger and was able to wield her magic with perfection, she knew if Laxus was here he would have one of his rare smiles from seeing her growth. Akari began to walk back from the forest from her training that day. She showered and decided to stop by fairy tail. She joined fairy tail a few years ago because since the strongest wizards had disappeared the guild became weak and lost many of their members, fairy tail became a laughing stock of a guild and Akari couldn't stand seeing the guild like that. She joined to help them beat off wizards who went to pick on them and to help them gain some reputation back. She may not have been a member for long, but she knew this wasn't the fairy tail Laxus had told stories about, she sat at the bar lost in her thoughts. All of a sudden the doors opened and a gang of wizards came in, "we are here to collect our payment" one of the wizards said, Macco sighed "look we don't have the money this time, please give us a few more days" the wizard flipped over one of the tables, Akari glared at him ready to strike if the master gave her the orders, he looked and her and shook his head for her to sit back down "if you don't have the money, looks like we will have to destroy this place even further till you give us our money" the wizard gave the order for his guildmates, they starts flipping tables, breaking glasses and tearing anything they can get a hold of, Akari looked at them with disgust but knew better than to go against the masters orders and kick their asses. She was strong but not strong enough to defeat a whole guild alone. Suddenly, the wizards started yelling and flying everywhere, Akari looked up and saw all the missing members of the guild come through the door, this must be a dream? Are they back?! Akari was shocked as the returning guildmates and master kicked out the wizard gang. Everyone started crying and running to their old teammates, Akari just stood back since she never met them in person. She was happy to see that the old friends are finally back, then she suddenly became sad, she looked down at the floor, if they are back, where is Laxus? Before tears escaped her eyes she felt a hand on her shoulder "hey kid, looks like you've grown up, never thought you would join my old guild" she turned quickly and was faced to face with Laxus, she embraced him and started to cry on his chest "I thought you would never come back, I missed you!" she kept crying, Laxus hugged her back "it was longer than expect, but I promised I would be back"
