There was once a girl, who was hidden from the world. Her name was Lucy Heartfilia; she was from the Heartfilia Kingdom and you guessed she was the Princess. She had Mother and Father that hind her from her world in till her 18th birthday. They hind her from the world because of the evil in this world. Even though the Heartfilia Kingdom was loved by most, there the was one Kingdom that hated them more than anything. The Heartfilia Kingdom had great enemy called Eucliffe Kingdom. They had been enemies for over 2000 years. The Heartfilia Kingdom had most of the land in Fiore. But the Eucliffe wasn't happy with that and he wanted more land and was willing to kill for that land but he was interested in something else. Something that happened over 2000 years ago and he needed Lucy for that…

Lucy's Pov

It's finally my 18th birthday today, and my mum and dad said that I could outside for the first time. I have been waiting 18 years for this. I can't wait to finally get out of this castle and explore the world. I look into the mirror and smile, this is going to be a great day. While I was getting ready I heard someone knock at the door.

"Come in!" Then the door opened slowly and head appeared from it.

"Hey Honey, are you nearly ready?"

"Hey mum, can you help me with my hair?"

She nodded her head and walk over to me with a smile on her face.
As my mum was helping me get ready, some else knocked on the door.

"Come in." It was my servant Natsu.
"Hey Natsu! What are you doing here?" Natsu looked at me and blushed a little and said.

"Your dad waiting for you." I looked at Natsu and smiled at him; he looked way quickly hiding his red face from me and then her turned to the door. "I'll be going now.'' He left without another word and walked out of the room. Me and mother both laugh, she was nearly done with my hair.

''Done!" I turned and looked at her. I could see she was happy and excited for today I couldn't help myself and smiled with her. She put her hand on my shoulder, she looked down to me and smiled again. "Let's go! Everyone is waiting for you."

I put on the biggest smile and walked out of my room with my mum. We walked up some stairs and then she told me stay there, so I waited for her. I could hear a lot of people talking, then I heard my mum yell "Everyone please be silent!" Then everything went silent. My mum started to talk again "I know that lots of you have been waiting for this moment for 18 years now, to see my little princess, so here is our princess Lu-" She was cut off. I hear yelling and screaming in fear and terror. I heard footsteps coming my away but it was only mother. At first, I was relived she was okay but that I saw the arrow in her chest. I ran to her, just when I got there she collapsed in mine arms.

"Mum!" I yelled in fear.

"Go to your room now, leave me here…"

"No, I won't leave you here! Someone will come and help!" She put her hand on my cheek.

"My precious princess, please go… I love yo- "Her eyes closed and her hand fell from my cheek.

I could not hold it in, I started to cry. I couldn't believe she was gone, only seconds go she happy and smiling and now her lifeless body are in my arms. I felt someone put their warm hand on my shoulder, I looked back to see Natsu with a sad look on his face as well, without saying anything he grabbed my hand and started to run. While we were running down the hallway, we ran into my dad. He looked at us and said "Where is your mother Lucy?" I put a sad look on my face. I couldn't say it to him; I couldn't even admit it to myself that mum had died.

Natsu's Pov

I looked at Lucy to see that she was sad again, when The King asked where her mum was so I had to say it "She died, I'm sorry my Lord… Where do you want me to take the Princess?"

The King slowly started to look sad and then he shook his head and looked back at us. "Back to her room there is a secret passage in her room behind the painting of the sun set. Go there now I'll hold off the enemy. Natsu you take good care of my Lucy and don't let anything happen to her or else I'll come back to get you."

I looked at him and nodded, I took Lucy's hand and started to run.

Lucy was struggling and yelling "No dad, you can't leave me!" She started to cry again. We finally got to her room we opened the doors and ran to the painting, I picked up the painting and moved it away. There it was… The secret passage way. I looked at Lucy again she was in a beautiful dress and I thought to myself that it was going to be hard for to escape and not to get noticed.

"Lucy stay here for a second!" I ran out of Lucy's room then into mine, lucky our rooms where next to each other. I picked up some of my clothes and ran back to Lucy's room "Here put the clothes on." Lucy looked at me with a weird and shocked look on her face. I told her that she couldn't possibly escape in a dress like that. She started to put on the clothes and I turned around. Then she said "I'm done." I looked at her and thought she still looks cute even in guys clothing. I grabbed her hand again and started to run down the secret passage way.

Lucy's Pov

Natsu was holding my hand, I couldn't stop blushing. We have been running for at 10 minutes before we saw the sun light at the end of the passage way. As the light got brighter Natsu started to slow down and also put himself in front of me. I saw Natsu reach for his sword, I knew this was going to be good… "Who the hell are you?!" Natsu roared like a dragon.
