The Dragon That Led Me To the Stars

A/N: Heyo! Hope you guys enoy the first chappy!

There will be few minor changes as to the story and plot a bit. Natsu and Lucy's last names will be changed, and also changes to some characters. Some might be OOC, and if that's so I'm sorry for that, but for now, enjoy!

Prolouge: Making the Great Escape

I started packing as soon as possible. I wanted a change and the only way to get that is be set free from this madness. I'll fend for myself and rely on myself, but that won't matter because I have the keys that Mom left me.

I can't rely on Pops anymore. All he wants to do is sell me off to some rich girl that only cares about money. And that's something that I don't want. I don't want to be used or manipulated for anyone's purposes. This is my fate, and I'm going to take control of it now. Because I'm done hiding.

I quietly packed me and Happy's things as we decided to make our escape in the night when no one would be awake and we could make our great escape.

Happy is my best friend and has been with me ever since I was a little boy and he's escaping with me out of this suffocating mansion. It wasn't home anymore. It was more like a prison. A prison that was created to confine and bind me, not to live in.

Oh, and did I mention that Happy was a talking, flying cat. Yeah, it's really awesome! He pops wings and everything. Crap! Now that I'm thinking about it I need to grab his fish. If I don't pack it that blue cat is going to have a fit!

I grabbed Happy's fish and put it in a sealed container so it woudln't spoil when we left it in there. I grabbed my things and threw them on my gigantic bed and layed there in silence. It should have been different. Things should have turned out right. My family shouldn't have been so disfunctional. My life shouldn't be a huge train wreck.

At least Happy was something good that came out of this. I grabbed some jewel and decided to put it away and get some sleep.

I tucked myself into bed and Happy curled up next to me his blue fur stuffed in my face. I slowly let sleep overtake me till the day was nothing more then like a bad nightmare, as if my dream was my reality.

Later on in the night I was shaken awake by soft, small paws from my faithful cat Happy pointing to the time on the wall.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the clock. It appeared to be around 10:00 pm. I can't believe I slept for that long. Well never mind that, I got up and got dressed into new, more comfortable clothes.

Happy put somethings into his sack and then tied it around his neck as I grabbed my pack and started off. I carefully cracked the door open and moved onto the main hallway as we passed by various rooms and different hallways.

We started to pass by the library when I stopped and ran inside. My blue furred friend followed me and whispered, "What are you doing?"

I turned to him and smiled and replied, "Grabbing something important." I climbed up a bookshelf and grabbed a tiny book with a blue bind and with no title and shoved it away.

We ran out of the library and to the front door cracking the big door when I heard footsteps coming our way. We bolted to behind one of the statues and hid behind it as we saw Ms. Seppito walking through the halls making her way probably to bed.

Once she was gone I gave off a sigh of relief and Happy and I exited the front door and breathed the outdoor air. It smelled so fresh and nice it already filled me with happiness of living free I couldn't contain myself and started excitedly running to the main gate.

Happy's paws latched onto me and he sprouted wings and he started flying away over the gate and mansion.

So this is it huh? I finally can leave this mansion. I can say goodbye to this terrible life and start over. I'm free to do whatever I want, and now no one can stop me. It's all my choice.

"We're free," I said.

"Yeah we are," Happy responded. "Let's make the most of this. Okay Natsu," he said.

I grinned and nodded agreeing with my little buddy flying through the air. It felt so good to be up there in the air. Free, without anyone telling you what to do. I think I could get used to this.

A/N: Hope you all enjoyed the first chappy, be prepared for chappy 2. Bye, and please review ^.^
