Hi guys! So...this is just the prologue of the story; I already have the first chapter written, but I just wanted to see if anyone was interested. Hopefully at least one person is, as that would make me happy, but like I said I have the first chapter, which I'll no doubt be posting soon.
Enjoy!
Prologue
I wipe my hand across the window pane, attempting to clear away the water that has condensed on the glass. After a few attempts I manage to clear away a small section of it, just enough to glimpse the blizzard that rages on outside; for once I'm actually happy to be indoors. Seconds later the window fogs up again, cutting off my view of the outside.
I've always wondered why glass does that; fogging up on the inside when it get cold. I assume it's the cold air hitting the warmed glass, melting against the window; of course, the room inside has to be warm for that to happen.
This room feels the opposite; despite the fireplace crackling behind me and the long blanket wrapped around my shoulders, it feels cold and empty.
I feel cold and empty.
Something softly drifts across the back of my hand, stealing my attention from the window. I glance down at it, my eyes zeroing in on the bright pink tattoo that sits on my pale skin. My finger rests on the outer edge of the design, faintly running across the lines; I must have been tracing it without realizing.
I sigh and wrap the blanket tighter around my body, trying to ignore the pull of my heart at the sight of the pink drawing.
Three weeks. Three weeks since I got the letter from the "husband" my father had set up for me, asking for my presence at my old home.
Three weeks since he trapped me here with a magical barrier that prevents me from stepping foot outside of the Heartfilia Estate.
Three weeks since I've been able to contact or use my spirits.
Three weeks since I've seen anyone from Fairy Tail.
Three weeks since I never said goodbye to Natsu.
Three weeks of gut-crushing regret.
