A/N: Hello, Welcome to my new fic! Unlike my other two fics, I wanted to release the first chapter as like a tester. I want to know if you guys want more. I'm still not too sure of it, so I would like your response and to see what you think! Please let me know if you are interested in more! I'll see you down the bottom for my usual A/N!
DISCLAIMER: For now and for future chapters, Fairy Tail is yours Mashima, not mine!
"Come on, Heartfillia! You can run faster than that" The scientist yelled. As he wrote down notes about the 17 year old's progress. The blonde girl ran around in a maze they change everyday. If she slows down, zap, 100 watts in the feet. If she makes the wrong turn, zap, another 100 watts. This experiment was meant to test her speed, her ability to adapt to new surroundings and to test her ability to predict her way out of the maze. Each little experiment is part of the schools code of conduct. The school. A place where experiments were born, and this experiment, Lucy Heartfillia, is 98% human 2% bird. She was an athletic, obvious due to the amount of forced running she had to do and she had a good figure. She was graced with long golden hair with deep chocolate eyes that would melt any boys heart, if she was in the real world but she was trapped and has been for 17 years.
"Well done, Heartfillia! Faster than last time and next to nothing wrong turns. Your father would be proud." The scientist escorted her to her 'room'.
"If father was proud he would give me at least a proper room and decent food." Lucy told them sternly.
"You're an animal, Heartfillia. Not human, you don't deserve a room. You're lucky to get a cage." The scientist aggressively pushed her in her cage and he walked out of the warehouse leaving Lucy and the other experiments under CCTV surveillance.
"Hello." She heard a small girl call out, and as she stepped into the light Lucy could see she was a petit girl with long blue hair. She looked like she's been roughed up. Most importantly, she looked scared!
"Hi," Lucy smiled gently. "I'm Lucy, you must be new here." Lucy pushed her food tray towards her. "Go ahead. Eat you'll need your strength. I don't need it anyway. Don't worry, kid. I'll protect you." Lucy smiled at the girl, comforting her. "Now, what's your name? Tell me about yourself?" Lucy asked, trying to distract the young girl from the psychotic cries of other experiments.
"M-my name is Wendy. I come from Magnolia." She smiled weakly. "Lucy, I-if you don't mind me asking, h-how long have you been here?"
"17 years, so all my life" Lucy smiled brightly.
"My brother is 17." Wendy said with a sense of pride.
"I wish I had an older brother but, I have no siblings, I have Michelle, but she's an old doll that used to belong to my mother. She's pretty torn up now." Lucy passed over a torn doll, and Lucy smiled sadly.
"Do me a favour, you're going to have to be a big girl and look after Michelle for me. You keep her safe, and she'll keep you safe okay." Lucy told her, comforting her further.
"Yes. I will. You can trust me, Lucy." Wendy grinned for the first time since being there.
"I know I can! For now, let's get some sleep, come on. I haven't had a roommate in a while. Come on, I'll stay awake 'til you go to sleep" Lucy pulled off the damaged jacket she was wearing and stretched out her body.
"L-Lucy... What's that?" Wendy pointed behind her. Upon Lucy's back was a pair of white feathered wings.
"No, need to be scared," Lucy smiled, "I'm 2% bird genes, 98% human. Do you understand?" Wendy nodded, "These are proof of that. They're part of me and have been born this way. I'm a hybrid genetically made by the scientist in this lab." Lucy smiled and looked at Wendy to see what she was thinking. She looked confused and curious. "Do you want to feel them?" Lucy asked.
"Can I?"
"Go ahead. It won't hurt." Lucy smiled as Wendy cautiously approached, unsure of what would happen if she were to touch the wings. Wendy lift her hand up and touched the white feathers... it was surprisingly soft and felt just as amazing to touch as they look.
"They're beautiful." Wendy gasped, "Can you fly with them?" She asked.
"Yeah." Lucy pulled Wendy on the floor and held her close. "Let's go to sleep." She whispered as she wrapped her wings around Wendy protectively. Lucy felt like she had to live to protect the innocence of the girl. She wasn't going to let this girl get into any harm until she was back safe with her family. Lucy decided she'd rather die than let Wendy get hurt.
"I'll get you out of here, Wendy. We'll both be free. I promise" Lucy whispered into her ear, making sure the CCTV surveillance wouldn't pick up on her voice.
Both girls woke up to the sound o banging on the metal bars.
"Wake up, Kiddies! Food time." The scientist then walked up to Lucy and Wendy's cage. He crouched down to Wendy's level.
"Come on, little blue hair. Time for your first physical. We will judge on that what adjustments to do to you after that. A little birdy told me your hearing is exquisite." The scientist gave her a sickly smile, but she hid behind Lucy. "Now, Now. Come out from behind Heartfillia. She's a dirty bird. A good girl like you shouldn't be with her. How about your own room? Would you like that?" He asked rhetorically. He opened the door and held his hand out, "Come on, little blue hair." He smiled again.
"N-no thank you sir, I-I'm fine with Lucy" Wendy stuttered her reply, scared of what they might do. He then launched forward grabbing her arm, and Wendy started to scream.
"Stupid little bitch, you should have listened in the first place." He yelled as he dragged her, forgetting to shut the cage door.
"Oi, Professor..." The intern next to him mumbled as the blue haired girl struggled in the scientists grip.
"Shut up, Intern and help me contain the little brat." The scientist hissed.
"But Professor-"
"WHAT?"
"Where's Heartfillia?" The intern muttered. The scientist looked towards the, now vacant, cage and let go of Wendy. He ran to the intercom and his voice boomed throughout the school.
"GET HEARTFIILIA, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN HOW MANY WE LOSE. JUST GIVE ME HEARTFILLIA."
He had a thought and ran back to the intern.
"Where the fuck is the blue haired newbie?" He screamed, making the intern cringe. The scientist grabbed the poor man but his collar.
"A-A hand grabbed her. They ran, sir."
"That's obviously Heartfillia. She wouldn't escape if it wasn't for her." He dropped the intern to the ground. "Mr Heartfillia is going to kill me." He muttered.
"I-I sounded the alarm though, sir. People should be after them, sir." The intern brushed the invisible dust off of his trousers.
"At least you did one thing right, Intern." The scientist muttered as he walked away.
"Sir, where are you going? What should I do now, sir?" The intern ran after him like a lost puppy.
"We're going to find the girl, dimwit."
A/N: So please review and tell me what you think! I love you guys, you are all amazing. I'll be away on the challenge for the next weekish, it's with the NCS and I can put it on my UCAS form. Even with positive response, the next chapter won't be out for a while.
Until next time, friends.
