Hi everybody! This is my first fanfiction, so please go easy on me! I hope you like this, cause it took me fucking hour to write this shit. Or something like that. Hope you enjoy! P.S : I do not own any bit of FT, sadly.
Summary : In this world, nothing is ever peaceful. In this world, different clans are constantly clashing. Everyone are separated into different groups – Swordsman Clan, Dragon Clan, Maker Clan. Sometimes different members of the clans would join together to hunt and survive. But there is one clan that works alone. And that clan, is the Celestial Clan.
(In the middle of Power Forest)
Lucy
I fell to the floor, panting. Sweat trickled down my forehead, dripping onto my shirt. My blonde bangs were plastered onto my face, and I stank. A lot. "Yukino!" I called out into the wilderness. "Yukino! Where the fuck are you!" Silence. Huh. We must've been separated when we were being chased down by that shitty Cold Clan. I slowly got off the muddy floor, brushing the grime that had gathered on my skirt. "Well, that's just fan-fucking-tastic. Now I have to go look through the Forest, and possibly waste all of my hunting time." I muttered, still breathless from the chase. I hooked by bow-and-arrow across my middle, wearing it on my back. In my left hand, was a small dagger, ready to cut out any intestines from a carcass. In my right hand, was my willow-wood spear. It was decorated with ivy swirling around the handle, and the tip was made out of the strongest metal you could find in the Power Forest. It was my mothers before she past away … and was taken by that horrible clan leader … My eyes hardened as I remembered that fateful day. Shaking my head, I got off to search for my dear friend. We were the leaders of the Celestial Clan, while everyone else were ordinary folks. But, we didn't treat them as lessers'! Oh no, we did not! We treated everyone as an equal, even our food. We prayed for them in the afterlife, and blessed the nature for giving us meat! But somehow, the world wanted to punish our clan. We were constantly hunted down by other clans for our immense power. We often went to sleep starving, because we were chased to places of the Forest with scarce any food hunts there. Many of us caught sicknesses, because our clothes always tear while fleeing, so we had nothing to protect us from the cold.
But even after all that, we were happy. Why? Because we had each other. (A/N: Here comes the cheesy bit) As long as our friends – no, our family were safe and well, we were content. We always tell nighttime stories around the fire, filling the night with laughter and smiles. I chuckled softly to myself. I love my clan so much; I would go anything for it. And I'm sure Yukino feels the same way too. That reminds me – where the hell is that girl anyways? I groaned. "Yukino? Can you hear me? Give the signal, if you can!" (A/N : The signal is a musical howl). I was greeted by my good buddy Silence, once again. "Nooo! That means I do have to look for your stupid ass again!" I wailed. "I don't wanna look for you! You better be staying in your spot - I'm not going on a wild goose chase, I hate geese!" Well, better start before night hits us.
(Two hours later, Power Forest, West corner)
I've been trailing around for a period of time now. Feet aching, eyes drooping, and my body getting heavier with each step, I decided to give up – until is heard a weak voice coming from above me. "Lucy …. Lucy, help me …" It whispered. I looked around me, my muscles tensing, preparing for a fight. "Up here, you moron!" It suddenly hissed. My eyes shot upwards to see my dear friend Yukino dangling from a rope tied around her ankle, and the rope was tied around a thick branch. I rolled my eyes. "Trust you to get caught in a petty trap that was made to catch animals!" I sneered at her. She glared at me with her hazel eyes, and whispered furiously. "Hey! It's not my fault that I was blindly running away for the enemy when suddenly, whoop! Up, up, up I go!" I chuckled at her. She was always the one to make humour in difficult situations. "Alright, alright. I'll let you down. But we have to be quick getting back – the others would be worried." As quick as lightning, I cut the taunt rope with my dagger. Yukino fell to the ground, groaning when she got up. "Thanks, but can I have a softer landing next time?" She complained.
"Wait, there'll be a next time? Dear lord, do I have to look for you again?" I pulled an aghast face. "I think I'll just leave you and go back home to HQ…" I muttered, but she somehow said I'll managed to catch it. "Hey! Watch your mouth, missy!" She pulled my cheeks. I rolled my eyes again. "Yes, mum." I punched her slender shoulder lightly. "Come on – I know a short cut home!" Yukino suddenly yelled, sprinting off into the distance. "Hey! Wait for me!" I scrambled after her, tripping over tree roots many times. Home. I grinned.
That's where I want to be.
(Meanwhile, South corner of Flower Woods)
Wendy
"Hey! Wait for me, Natsu-san!" I yelled, desperately trying to catch up to my role model. He turned around, his onyx eyes twinkling with happiness. "Catch me if you can, Wendy!" He called back, taking off. I sighed. Natsu-san is a nice person, but far too energetic to be healthy. As I sprinted through the fresh flowers, I inhaled. I loved coming to the Flower Woods while hunting – the smell of flowers were so relaxing and soothing, that it made animals fall asleep, helping us with our hunt. Once Laxus-chan had found a huge antelope snoozing in the middle of the roses, so he brought it over to share with our Dragon Clan. We fed on it for weeks, and Laxus-chan was move up the hunting party. He is now the leader of it, while Natsu-san is second-in-command. It was to be expected of him, though, his grandfather being in the Master Clan and all that. Natsu was an amazing person because he had made from just being a commoner, to being one of the most important people in our clan, in just a space of two years. That is why I aspire to be like him, because right now I was just one of the lowest commoners, only used to collect firewood and water. There aren't many people in our clan, only eight members. (A/N : Natsu, Wendy, Laxus, Gajeel, Cobra, Sting, Rogue and Achnolgia) But only four of the members stayed with the original clan. Sting and Rogue had moved on to a B-Clan called Sabertooth, Achnolgia went missing, and Cobra joined the dark B-Clan, Oración Seis, but then he joined another one – a secret one – called Crime Sorcière.
Finally, I caught up with my pink-haired star. I was out of breath by then, flailing desperately. "Natsu-san, please wait for me!" My breathing hitched when he suddenly swung around and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder and sprinting off again. "N-Natsu-san! What are you doing?" I squeaked. I could hear him grin. "Wendy, drop the 'san' already. 'Natsu' is just fine. And I'm taking you to the Holy Lake." I gasped. The Holy Lake is a beautiful, clear lake that will grant you wishes if you do a good enough deed. "B-but Natsu! Why are we going there? Isn't it forbidden?" I questioned him. His simple reply was, "We're just going there." So we travelled in silence until we came across the enchanting Lake.
He put me down, and I crept to the side. I looked cautiously at Natsu, as if asking permission –which I probably was- I thought. He nodded, and gestured for me to continue. I walked over to the edge, and saw my reflection. My hair had gotten messed up after running like a crazed person through the woods, and my dress was slightly torn. Oh well. This will have to do for now. I took in a deep breath of air, and knelt down, putting my hands together. I squeezed my eyes shut and wished.
(At the same time – back to Power Forest)
Lucy
As we got back to HQ, everyone was crowding around us, looking relieved/anxious. "Brat, you have no idea how worried we were!" Aquarius yelled, while smiling at the same time.
"Lucy, my love! How dare you up and leave like that, without me! I was so worried, are you alright? Your knight in shining armour is here!" Leo/Loke announced dramatically, pulling me into a hug. I chuckled.
"I'm fine, guys, trust me." We all laughed and got into a group hug. As I looked up into the sky, I saw a shooting star. I closed my eyes, and smiled.
Both girls at the same time :
I wish that we could be happy forever.
