Chapter 1~ Memories

Disclaimer~ I do not own Fairy Tail.

Author Note~ This is my first time putting one of my fanfics online so I'm sorry for any mistakes. Please review and tell me what you think.

A little blonde girl runs through a forest, alone and barefoot. She wore what had been a pink dress with a light pink bow at the waistline. Was now a dirty, torn, and tattered dress with the bow missing. Dried leaves and twigs were stuck in the knots of her dirty and messy blonde hair. Around her neck she wore a golden chain necklace, a little golden locket hung on the chain.

"Mommy! Lushy!" She called into the trees. "Where are you?" Tears threatened to fall from her chocolate eyes. "Where did you go? Why did you leave me all alone?" She falls down to her knees and starts to sob into her hands. Her mother, sister and her had just been in a clearing by the forest near their home when a wild animal ran out of the forest towards them. She and her sister had ran into the forest terrified. Their mother no where to be found. Some how, while they were running they had gotten separated, and before she knew it she was lost and alone in the dangerous forest.

"Are you lost child?" A mysterious voice asked the little girl. The voice sounded loud and confident, but also gentle and caring. It was definitely a female voice.

"I got lost when a wild animal attacked me, mommy, and Lushy. W-Will you help me find them? Please?!" The girl cried in a high pitched voice.

There was a slight pause before the voice answered. "Come to me, follow my voice, so, I can see you, child."

The little blonde walked towards where the voice had came from. She entered a clearing, but then stopped abruptly. The sight in front of her had left her in awe, but it had also been a bit frighting to the small child.

She stood in front of a huge, emerald-green dragon. The light of the setting sun danced off the dragon's scales. The girl still in awe, took a step back. She realized that the dragon would be able to eat her in one bite if it wanted to. Before the girl could turn and run back into the sinister forest, the dragon slid her tail behind the girl, sensing the fear off her and the possible outcome of her running away.

"There is no reason to run. I wouldn't even think a bring harm to a child."

With that the little girl relaxed a little and asked the dragon again. " Will you help me get out of the forest, please?"

The dragon looked down at the child, her dark green eyes filled with remorse. "Dear child, there is no easy, nor gentle way to explain this," The dragon took a deep breath before continuing. "I'm sorry, but I can't. This forest is cursed, meaning its very hard for someone to get out once they go deep into it. There is a way for you to leave, but it is a very hard spell to learn and it uses alot of magic. There is another reason it seems. You had gotten lost, but found me by chance. I believe that's a sign that I should train you into a dragon slayer. I know its a bit early for me to choose an apprentice, but it can't be helped. I think you were suppose to get lost so you could find me. You must stay here."

The girl looks at the dragon, processing what she had just heard. "So I have to stay here and learn magic. Can Mommy and Lushy stay here and learn with me, too?" The young girl's deep brown eyes lit up with hope.

The dragon slightly shakes her head " I'm afraid not. They have a different destiny then you. You will be able to watch them grow and learn things too, but only at a distance. It would probably be for the better if they thought you were gone, then to think you were living with an animal." The dragon laughs a little trying to lighten the mood. " Who knows maybe your paths may, once again cross in the future."

The blonde sighed. "Alright, I understand, but if I really do have to stay will you tell me your name, please?"

The dragon looked as if she was smiling "I'm glad you asked. My name is Emerald, because of the color of my scales. What shall I call you, child?"

"Reason," The girl answered almost immediately. "Please call me Reason."

Reason's Pov

I remember that night almost like it was yesterday, but it's been years since it's actually happened. I miss them, my family, even my father.

During the time everyone thought I was dead, a lot had happened. My father became more... involved in his work. Soon my mother passed away, and he couldn't handle the losses. First it was me, then his beloved wife. He cut himself from everything that didn't have to do with is business, including my twin. I had forgotten that my sister was still there and had went through that too.

My sister soon grew tired of being ignored, so she ran away. She found friends and a new family. Our father had realized his mistake and tried to get her back by force. It didn't work.

After that she went on adventures with her friends and family. I've followed her, to make sure she was always alright. Every time I was going to jump in and save her, she either pulled through on her own, or her friends saved her.

She's been through a lot, she experienced pain and hard times, but she always found happiness in the end, and that made the hard times go away. During the S-class trials I had gone to the island, not only to watched her, but to meet someone as well. That's a long story for another time. I ended up unconscious when Acnologia attacked and froze the island for seven years. I was the first to wake up so I made sure everyone was alright.

When I had returned to the mainland I found out that our father had died. When my sister and her family returned to the mainland they joined the grand magic games. I watched the games and then dragons attacked. I'm happy that's over.

It's been over twenty years, now since I've spoken to my sister. Hell, since she even knew I still existed. I think it's about time she and I met. Yay, time for a family reunion. I finally get to see her and actually speak to her after all this time, all this time of her thinking I was dead.
