Hi! This is my first fanfic so far that I publish fully. Sooooo, I know I might be doing something wrong [with the publishing] so help me out!
Basically it's about Lucy and Natsu [of course] seperated by Lucy's father at childhood. Made a promise to each other again. And so when they meet again.
And so forth don't want to spoil for you!
Hope You enjoy! Please review!
"YA!" a little blonde girl yelled after a boy who was manically laughing while running away from her.
"That's not fair!" she whined and pouted, she stopped running hoping the boy would stop and run back to her.
But the boy just turned around for a split second long enough to say, "It's not supposed to be!" he cackled and started to run even further away from her. The blonde girl sighed and then a wicked smile appeared on her face. Her hands began to curve in to claw like points and she suddenly gave chase to the boy. He looked at her with horror shadowing his face.
"NO! You can't! That's not fair!" he yelled.
"It's not supposed to be." She mockingly replied back.
Screeching in their happiness to be in each other's company, they continued to play the day away.
Until…
"LUCY HEARTFILIA! COME HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" an angered voice echoed from the darkness.
Lucy stopped in her tracks and so did the boy. They both turned around simultaneously but not until he noticed the fleeting fear that shadowed her face.
"Yes Papa, I'm coming." Lucy nervously replied to the angered voice. She looked at the boy with a sad expression on her face; "Bye" was all she said to him.
"Why are you looking so down, Luce? We will see each other tomorrow." He looked at her with a puzzled face, "Right Luce?" he questioned.
Lucy looked at him smiled and said, "Yes, we will. Come see me tomorrow. Okay?"
"I promise!" he yelled at her retreating back.
The Next Day…
"PAPA! NOOOOO! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! NOT UNTIL I SAY GOODBYE!" Lucy screamed at her father.
"LUCY HEARTFILIA! I AM YOUR FATHER AND YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" he yelled at her.
"NOOO!" she yelled.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed a flash of unusual hair color. Realizing that is was him. I started to run as fast and as hard as I could. I almost reached the corner until I felt a large hand wrapped around my forearm. Jerking me back I screamed out in pain.
The boy roared out in anger and tried to hit my father. In his desperate but futile attempt to rescue me, my father swatted him away. Annoyed by his presence he began to drag me away. Shocked and anger at what he did to him, I started to struggle more and more. Bruising my arm even worse I screamed at him to let me go, begging my father to let me see if he was okay.
"Papa! Please let me see him. Let me see if he is okay. I'll do whatever you want! PLEASE!" I begged.
Jude Heartfilia looked down at his young daughter with cold angry eyes. He threw her to the ground where she collapsed in a heap of wracking sobs.
"Go." Was all he said to his daughter, "One minute, not a second more."
I got up unsteadily and made my way towards him. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" I questioned. I put my hands on him feeling for broken bones. All I could see was a small bruise appearing on his face. I lifted my hands to touch it. He caught my hand and held it to his face.
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"I'm okay." I smiled softly.
He smiled back at me. "Where are you going? We made a promise Luce."
I swallowed nervously. "Um…I'm going away to a school. Far away…far away from you…Promise me we will find each other again?"
He looked at me dumbly, stupid boys. I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I turned around terrified. I tried to get up as quickly as I could. But to no avail my father still grabbed me roughly around the shoulders and began to drag me away again by my bruised arm.
"Let her go!" he screamed after us.
I turned with tears streaming down my face. Hoping to get a last look at my childhood friend and at the only boy I loved with all my heart.
"Promise me!" I screamed. "Promise me that we will find each other again and never forget!"
He looked at me dumbly again brows furrowing. His eyes flashed as he finally processed what everything meant.
"I PROMISE! LUCY!" he yelled.
I was shoved into a car. I rolled down the window in a hurried attempt.
"LUCYYYY!" he was still screaming after me. "I PROMISE!"
I stuck my head out the window. With tears streaming down my face I screamed out his name before I was dragged back inside.
"NATSU!"
10 Years Later…
I stretched my arms out high towards the night sky. I looked up amazed by the stars. I sighed at my futile attempt to count them. I smile softly to myself relieved by my father's choice to let me finally have my way. I slowly walked towards a gate. I peered inside amazed at what I saw. The school was beautiful. Luscious greenery everywhere, hell there was even a duck pond in the middle of the front yard. I looked at the address to make sure it was right. It was. Being meticulous about the instructions, I waited by the gate for ten minutes until someone came on got me.
"You must be Lucy Heartfilia." A voice suddenly spoke behind me.
Frozen with un-expectancy, I slowly turned around to face the mysterious voice behind me. There was no one there. Puzzled and quite frankly a little disturbed by the mysterious voice, that's it there must be ghosts here. I laughed nervously.
"Uh-hum." A voice spoke again somewhere near my waist. Seeing a small old gramps standing there, a squeak erupted from my throat clearly startled. The old gramps suddenly guffaw at me. He looked at me expectantly.
"Um…yes, I am Lucy Heartfilia." I slowly replied.
"Hhmm…took you long enough to reply. I see you kept your father's last name."
"Yes sir I did."
"Well come on then. Let's get you to your dormitory. My name is Makarov Dreyar. Headmaster to Fairy Tail Academy in which you will be attending until I deem you fit to use your magic upon the world to help the needs of other and to aid your nakama if need be."
I nodded perplexed but I was happy nevertheless. A world without my father watching and dictating my every move was a relief in itself. I was finally free.
I followed gramps to the dormitory. I was amazed by the size of the campus. It was humongous.
"Lucy, you will be given the top flat. You alone have access to the roof. Consider yourself lucky. Your own personal piece of heaven." He smiled at me.
"Ah, thank you. I love it here already." I smile blissfully.
"Your schedule is up to you. Go to the classes you think might help strengthen your magic. Since you're a celestial mage, you might want to try to focus on your stamina and increase your magical ability. Thus it will help you enable you to use your magic sustainably and allowing you to summon more spirits in fights and still have reserve for yourself left over. Also, one more piece of advice focus on your physical aspect as well. The more stamina you have for your physical body can help you in the long run. Well, it is just a suggestion, but I highly recommend." Gramps said with all seriousness.
"Yes, Gramps I'll keep that in mind." I reply absentminded, forgetting that he was the master.
Gramps laughed again. "You got spunk Lucy. No one else dare calls me that. Fearing that they will get on my bad side, which is nonexistence, well at least towards my brats, except one other, he calls me the same as you do."
"Brats?" I questioned.
"Yes, my brats, fortunately you are one of my brats as well." He gave me a kind smile. "Well I'll let you go. You will have a big day ahead of you. Everyone here is friendly. Well majority of them are. You will figure out who they are soon enough. I have the feeling you will befriend them all the same." With that he left.
I smile to myself and headed towards my room. I was looking forward to a nice soft bed to finally rest my head on. Once I reached my room I lay down to and instantly knocked out from exhaustion. With a smile on my face I sank into sleeps welcoming embrace.
["LUCYYY! I PROMISE! "
"NATSU!" I screamed, tears rolling down my face. I didn't want to go. I didn't want to leave him. The boy I will ever love and hold close to my heart. My heart yearns for him. But we made a promise. Once a promise is made I will never break it. But it's been 10 years since. Where are you Natsu?]
A tear rolled down my face. I slowly opened my eyes. The sun was filtering through the curtains. I slowly got up yawned and stretch. My back arching like a cat, I slowly place my foot on the floor. Yikes! It was cold. Sighing I ignored the cold and crossed the floor to the window and opened the curtains. Realizing where I was, I jumped up in excitement ready to start a new chapter in my life.
I dressed in my favorite and artfully ripped black skinny jeans. Paired with a dark blue button down shirt on the inside a black tank top with my favorite combat boots. And last but not least my spike earrings and my favorite pendant necklace my mother gave shaped into a small dragon. Smiling with that sweet memory of her, I grabbed my bag and headed out the door for a new adventure at Fairy Tail Academy.
I heard people laughing everywhere, screaming and hollering at each other. Smiling, I was quickly drawn to the unusual atmosphere.
"HI! You must be Lucy-chan!" a small girl with blue hair and glasses shouted out to me. She was accompanied by two boys who shyly waved at me.
Smiling, "Yes, I am. And who might you be?"
"I'm Levy, this is my two team partners Jet and Droy." She replied with enthusiasm.
"It's nice meeting you!" I laughed out loud, happy that I was meeting new people just like that.
Levy smile and so did Jet and Droy. They were all thinking that she will fit in well here.
"C'mon! Let me give you the grand tour and introduce you to some people here at the academy." Levy invited.
"Yeah, sure, that would be awesome." I replied smiling.
Levy grabbed my hand and ushered me along with Jet and Droy trailing along behind us.
During the "tour" of the academy I met tons of people, from Mirajane, Cana, Juvia, Elfman, Nab, Laxus [from afar], Alzack, Bisca, Wendy and her cat Carla, Freed, Evergreen, and so many more. I was in a giddy haze so happy to meet new people.
The gate crashed open.
"TADAIMA!" a voice hollered out.
I looked over to see who was making such a ruckus. The voice sounded familiar. Liked it belonged to the past and it wasn't supposed to be here.
"Oh!" Levy exclaimed. "You have to meet them!" she dragged me over to the group.
"Minna! Meet our new member, Lucy!" Levy gushed. "Isn't she cute!"
I lower my head down in embarrassment. "Levy! Stop!" I said fighting a smile on my face.
She poked me in the ribs with her elbow. Wincing in pain, she ignored me and proceeds to introduce me to the group.
"Lucy-chan, this Erza, Gray, and Gajeel [she practically cooed his name], Lily, Happy, Lisanna, and…"
I happened to look up when she was introducing the last member. My eyes widened realizing who it was.
"Natsu…" I breathed out his name.
"Eh, Lucy-chan, what was that?" Levy looked at me.
I blinked, looking at her, "What was his name again?"
"Gah-ha!" he yelled, "You can't even remember my name after one second!"
I looked at him confused. He looked glum. "Oh wait, your name, what was it…um…Natty? Right?"
"No!" he growled.
"Hmmmm…wait, wait I got it, it's Natalie. I got it right now didn't I?" I looked at him waiting for him to respond.
Gray laughed and Erza cracked a smile. Lisanna glared at me and Happy and Gajeel was rolling on the floor laughing.
"I like her!" Gray exclaimed.
"A love rival!" I heard a voice in the bushes.
I looked at the direction of the voice alarmed.
"AH!" he pretended to faint. Pouting at me he mumbled. "My name is…"
"What was that I couldn't hear you!" I said loudly to him. "You'll have to speak up"
Sighing, "My name is NATSU!" he yelled out to me.
"Ah, your name is Natsu. Weird, I never met anyone name Natsu before." I said smiling.
He blushed and pointed a finger at me, "You better not forget it!"
"Nah, I won't forget, Natalie, oh wait Natty, wait its Natsu." I said smiling.
Throwing his hands up in exasperation, he started to walk away.
"Wait!" I yelled out to him, "It was nice meeting you, NATSU!" I yelled waving and smiling at him.
He looked at me with a pouting face and started to walk away again. He then turned back around and flashed me toothy grin and throwing a peace sign and ran off. He started yelling that he was hungry or something along those lines. I smiled to myself thinking, 'like he use to when we were kids.' With all that said and done, our promise kept from our childhood days. I finally found you Natsu Dragneel. The only slight problem was that you don't remember me. Natsu…why?
