Holy crap! It's a story/prologue with ffff... over 2000 words? That's a record. I learnt an awesome quote that inspired me (though technically it was also mostly the Fairy Tail anime that inspired me as well...) - Writing stories = 1% inspiration and 99% sweat and blood. Hopefully I'll work on my other stories soon? xD

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. I only own my OC. Please don't take this story too seriously.
AND FLAMERS. Don't flame. Please? Thank you!

OC x Gray (ALTHOUGH THE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE VERY SLOW), don't like don't read. :D

Enjoy!


With a drawing held loosely in her hands, Lucy nods as a way to show Mirajane that she was still listening. Still listening, to the story of Natsu, Happy, and a girl called Lisanna. When her hand traces the childish forms of Natsu, Erza and Gray, it stops - as soon as she catches a glimpse of a yellow hood in the far corner, underneath a wooden table.

"Then… who's this person?"

In a rough sketch, a girl was drawn with a yellow jumpsuit, but since the hood was up, all Lucy could see was the pair of lips that curled into a small smile. Was she hiding from the commotion around her? At first glance, the celestial mage would've thought so, but the barely noticeable smile proved otherwise.

Grey, no, was it silver? Yes. Silver tufts of hair poked out from behind the girl's neck.

"Ah, her?" Mira points towards the figure and Lucy nods, "Natsu found her in the secret base he and Lisanna made for Happy."

"Eh? Found her? What do you mean?" The blond exclaims, glancing down once again and pointing at the drawing, and Mirajane nods with a hum.

"Yup. Apparently she was lying over the egg I told you about – the one he found in the East Forest. And so he carried her to the guild with the help of my sister."

"And, what happened? Where is that girl now? Why isn't she at the guild?" Lucy asks, her eyes brightening with curiousity. Who knows? This could be used as a plot in her story one day.

A frown pastes itself onto Mirajane's face, "Well, one day, she just disappeared – but she left a note saying she'd come back when she found 'it'."

With a slender eyebrow raised, Lucy probes further.

"What's 'it'?'"

"Well to be honest, I don't know," Mira pauses for a moment, before smiling, "You might have to ask her that if she ever comes back."

For a moment, silence was the only thing that could be heard in the Fairy Tail Archives, and Mirajane could practically hear what was going on in Lucy's head. Or rather, Mira's own head as well.

Who was that girl really? It wasn't as if Mira could actually answer this. She didn't know. Even after all those days she spent with the guild, she didn't speak much, and nobody actually asked anything about her,

Would she ever come back? She'd come back one day. Mirajane didn't think that the girl she had met that day would be one to break her promises, although she didn't really promise she'd come back at all – at least not until she found what she claimed she was looking for.

And… what was her name? Mirajane thought back to it when Lucy asked her out loud. There was nothing she could answer with - other than the fact that the girl didn't tell anyone her name.

"She didn't stay for very long. And she actually didn't talk very much at all, so it was kind of hard to approach her as well. After all, we just let her rest here… let her get her energy back, and then off she went."

Lucy nods to herself; it was odd. But it was interesting as well.

"Hey Mira? Do you mind if I borrow this picture; just so I can look at it a bit more?"

"Sure! But, don't lose it, you hear me?"

"Mira! Help me out a bit!" The guild master calls, and without a response from Mirajane, he heads back to wherever he came from. Mira nods, and smiles at Lucy once more before she leaves.

Hm. So if this is Erza… and the yellow haired guy is Laxus… and… if the girl in yellow isn't Mira's sister then… the girl in pink is Lisanna? Huh, why isn't Lisanna here anyways? And what happened to the other girl as well? Hm, I'll just ask around, and besides, of course I won't lose this drawing! It's -

"No problem at all – is what I originally thought to myself – BUT WHAT DO I DO NOW?" Groaning and placing her head on the wooden bench table Lucy sighs to herself. Mira looked extremely serious when she warned her not to lose the drawing and… maybe I'll ask Natsu to help me find it. And… maybe Gray as well? But before that… I think it's time to see whether or not if Natsu and Happy made up!


3 Days Later.


Huh. Wonder how it came up to this. Where am I anyways? How in the world did I end up here? Oh… no I remember. But this should wait for later. I'm way too tired...

I yawn, weary because last time I yawned I got my jaw locked, and it hurt; badly. I shudder, and slump against the entrance of Fairy Tail, eyelids of mine slowly dragging downwards until all I can see is darkness.

Was my magic taking its toll on my body again? Maybe using my magic on the whole thief's cave wasn't such a good idea after all. Seriously though, am I that weak? It only put them to sleep and... I sigh. Does learning sleep magic make the user sleepy as well? Ugh.

But at least I found it...

And it's nice to be back.

Clutched tightly in my hand, is my mother's necklace. It's beautiful; glistening ruby red crystal encased in a golden shell made entirely of overlapping swirls. I lost it once, but it's here now. It's here with me, where it's safe – where I too am safe.

Hello Fairy Tail. I missed you.

"-WHAT'D YOU SAY YOU EXHIBITIONIST?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DEAF HOTHEAD?"

"If you guys are going to fight… can you please do it outside?"

It's noisy, and as soon as I try to open my eyes my forehead is hit with an amazing force, successfully sending me tumbling backwards.

That… hurt…

"NOW IT'S ON – who's she?"

"Look what you two did!"

"Quickly, we must get her to the infirmary!"

I slowly sit up from the ground, opening an eyelid only to see blurred shapes running towards me at an alarming rate and -scrunching my nose up to get rid of that fuzzy, itchy feeling that only comes with a- I sneeze. Sniffing, I rub my forehead, and suddenly it's quiet.

With groggy, slow movements, I support myself against a wall while I stand up, to see at least 4 or 5 people gathering around me to ask if I'm alright. As soon as one, a blond haired girl, opens her mouth I put my hand up to stop her. I yawn, and rub my eyes.

No one speaks as my hands slowly fall, and my eyes open to their full extent.

I flex my fingers and stretch.

Wait a minute.

"Where is it?"

No. No no no! Where is it? I spent so much time finding it and – oh. The pink haired guy has it in his hands.

However... I scowl. They should know not to touch it. It's mine, it's sacred! I think, and I can tell I've got a scary face on because the blond haired girl starts to back away and puts up her hands slowly to tell me it's alright, but no, it's not.

A roundhouse kick aimed to the one who has my necklace, and I snatch the jewellery back. He slides backwards.

"Don't you dare touch my necklace!"

An awkward silence follows as he tumbles against a wall and coughs dust, until I feel guilty for kicking him. "Ah, um. I'm very sorry about that."

"The hell!" Pinky yells, flipping onto his feet in a battle stance. "You're sorry…!" He trails off, and clearly, he's angry. Should I be running? But then I remember why I came here in the first place. "NATSU!" I shout with a grin, arms wide open - but then, I stop. He looks at me weirdly, and I blink. "That is your name right? I mean, you are the person who carried my younger self to the guild while I was asleep on top of that egg in that hut and..."

Natsu's eyes narrow as he takes in my features - silver hair, yellow hoodie, jeans... It's not much of a surprise that he didn't recognise me at first.

After all, I was just a random person who fell asleep on top of a random egg - it just so happened that they were nice people and decided to take me back to the guild for a place to sleep and eat.

I guess I've changed. Way back then, I remember a kid with pink hair carrying me over his shoulder, and trailing before him was the white haired girl, Lisanna. I remember how they placed me in that bed in the infirmary, and I remember staying with them for at least 2 weeks. I remember how I couldn't really speak to them, nor tell them the name I was called by, and I remember just observing them. It was fun, just watching them interact. I was never much of a speaker anyways.

I remember them introducing themselves to me once I finally got out of bed. With Natsu - a grin so wide I'm afraid his face will split into two halves. Mirajane - an intimidating gaze, and clothed in dark colours. Lisanna - a cute girl, bubbly and bright. Gray - a strange boy, who had a habit of taking off his clothes. The thing that struck me most of all was the colour of their hair. Why? I'm not sure.

I was a quiet little girl, because I always thought a lot. After all, when mama was taken away from me, papa was nowhere to be found - and I was told to hide and look after a necklace that I lost-...

At least, I found the necklace in the end.

"Ah! It was you!"

I was snapped out of my thoughts, my eyes locking onto a finger that pointed at me accusingly.

"Where'd you go that day? We were kinda worried about you, you know! You didn't even tell us your name! I mean seriously, who wouldn't be if a girl we helped recover left in the middle of the night and only left a note, and I thought you were one of those mute people," I interrupt with a small 'Hey... I wasn't that quiet!', but still, the boy continues, "-did it take you so long to come back? It's like you fell of the face of the world, and-"

"Natsu!" Erza says – I've heard rumours of her on my travels. She has the nickname 'Titania', and was apparently titled the best female wizard in Fairy Tail. Getting her angry probably would not be a good idea.

"Give the girl some space," She snaps, but then she does basically the same thing as Natsu – she starts to interview me on where I've been, on the 'why's, 'when's, 'who's and 'how's.

To be honest, I'm far too tired to answer. Waking up by sudden doors to the forehead (although it was practically my fault), isn't the average awakening. I have a damn headache now.

Gray and the blond girl simply watch as the conversations fold out – I'm too busy trying to keep myself awake, then, I slowly fall asleep.

However I hear one more question before I'm fully unconscious.

"What's your name?"

My name?

"Reiki."
