Chapter 1: running from home

It was a rainy day as the princess of the Magnolia Kingdom watched from her window as she looks at the dropping rain with a boring expression. When thunder suddenly roars, she flinched. Just in time, her personal maid came in.

"Princess, His majesty requested your attendance," the maid said politely

"Tell father that I'll be down there" the maid only nodded and went outside

The princess sighs as she continues to watch the rain again. She saw a children play on the cold rain. She raised an eyebrow as she watch them enter the forest where said, that a fierce beast lives there.

She opens the window to warn them, "hey! You guys!"

The children jump in alert but when they turn back it was the princess. They were surprised that they could meet her in person

"T-the princess!" all of them bowed in unison

"You don't need to be formal," she screamed since it's raining heavily "what're you kids doing? You can't go in there! It's dangerous! You should just all go back to your parents!"

One of them shook his head, "no your highness! We refuse! That beast ate... my little sister, and it's about time he gets what he deserves!"

The princess bangs her hand to the windowsill "still! You'll get killed! Your life will be wasted—everything will be wasted! So I suggest you go back, NOW!"

The children only flinch as they nodded quickly and ran away from the forest. The princess only sighs, and then she remembered that her father called her. So she closed the window and went downstairs.

When she arrived she bowed down "you called me father?"

Her father, or known as Jude Heartfilia twitched his eyebrows "daughter, you are late 10 minutes! Where have you been?"

The princess only growled silently "I had to take care of some business. But because it's none of your business, then you shouldn't know now, should you?" the blonde princess crossed her hands

The king sighs, "I guess not. Well, I'm pleased to tell you that there is a prince from the Ice Kingdom who agreed your marriage proposal, and will come here in 5 weeks!"

The princess widened her hazel eyes "WHAT! I DIDN'T... BUT I... YOU!" she pointed her finger "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GAVE THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL, NOT ME!"

The king shook his head "this is for the best for you, and the kingdom"

"BUT I DON'T WANNA GET MARRIED! I WANNA LIVE MY LIFE AS A NORMAL TEENAGE GIRL AND GET MARRIED AT OH, I DON'T KNOW, WHEN I'M 20 OR 30 BUT NOT 18!" the princess screamed her heart out, as the maids and butlers who passed flinched in surprise

The king only growled "first of all, no screaming. And second, 18 year old prince and princesses shall be married so that they will continue to rule the Kingdom. You will inherit my throne daughter, you should be proud of that!"

A vein popped on the princess' head "I DON'T—I don't care okay! And besides, why should I marry to a person that I never seen my whole entire life! You didn't even give me his name!"

"Well, his name is—"

"SEE!"

The king started to get angry "you know what? Fine, you selfish, good-for-nothing daughter! You're just a burden! A burden to every one of us! A burden to the kingdom, a burden to the royal family, and even me"

The princess widened her eyes in shock. Yes, she hated her father and her father hated her, but even though they hate each other—a lot—they never said anything to break their own hearts. The princess frown "fine then, have it your way! I don't wanna get married, PERIOD!" she scream as she stomped her way back to her room

"Lucy Heartfilia, you come here this instant!"

Her answer is the banging of the loud door "LUCY!"

She sighs as she threw herself on the bed and look outside the window. It's not raining anymore, but Lucy can still feel the loud rain (because of her bad mood). She turned her head to the forest where she protected those dumb children from getting hurt. They're lucky, someone warned them. But she didn't.

Lucy stood up and took her big bag, filling it with her clothes and etc. She's going to leave this place, and nothing is going to stop her.

A/N: Well, that turned out well. Um... I'm just going to say this, that this is my first Fairy Tail fic. I've only read those fics like... 3 times I think. Because I'm actually a Naruto lover, not FT lover, so I just wanna pat myself on the back for finally making this. I actually like Nalu because the pairing is like, really cute, and that that pairing is just like my favorite pairing, Narusaku. You know, because both have pink and blonde hair (LOL) and it's also the same as my favorite OP pairing, Luna, ya know the letters are like... yeah... so anyway, please excuse my grammars (if there're any), and if you're reading this, like, until this paragraph.

That means you are awesome. Sincerely, the awesome me.
