Hey guys,

Here I am again with another story! I know I should update the ones I already have online, but I really wanted to post this chapter! I know it's short, it's just the prologue, but I hope it'll make you warm for the rest of the story!

Fairy Witness - Chapter 01, prologue

The heavens protested in loud grumbles and flashes as the car sped over the wet asphalt of the interstate. Aquarius seemed calm, but I knew she was as scared as I was. Her gentle words and soft expressions betraying her as she tried to calm me down. The rain came down on the car as if the heavens were feeling my terror and fright, releasing the tears I was so desperately trying to keep locked away.

"It's okay not to be okay, Lucy." Aquarius' voice came out, barely audible over the loud downpour.

How contradictive.

"Didn't you tell me not to show that he got to me." I kept on staring straight ahead, squeezing the hem of my blouse between my trembling fingers every time the thunder struck, immobilizing me for a split second. "Well, that's what I'm doing. I'm not letting it get to me."

Suddenly I was in her arms, warmth and reassurance overflowing me and wrapping my whole body with the simple gesture. She gave me a squeeze and kissed my head. "It's just the two of us," She pulled away to look at me, her blue eyes teary and red. "so it's okay."

I glanced at the driver behind the dark tinted glass to check if she was still there and relief washed over me when I saw the blonde woman behind the wheel as the tears started to burn in my eyes. Normally, I'd rather be alone with Aquarius than be in the presence of unfamiliar faces, but under these circumstances I was glad we weren't alone.

I didn't know the blonde woman, but I did know she was a trained Secret Service Agent that could definitely protect us if something were to happen. I felt my body go numb, all the tension dissipating as I hugged Aquarius back with all the strength I could muster, tears now freely flowing down my cheeks as I trembled and silently cried in her arms.

"Hey, Natsu, wanna hang out?" The soft, velvety voice pulled me out of my daze. I looked up, meeting sky blue eyes staring down at me as the brunette leaned in closer. "Or would you rather go straight to my dorm?"

"I.. I euh.." I couldn't speak, my mind still occupied with other things as I tried to formulate a coherent sentence.

"Sorry," Gray chirped in, leaning his arm on my shoulder. "bros before hoes. Today's his day off." He winked, the brunette reacting with a cute pout.

"See you another time then I guess…" She glanced back at me, waiting for me to tell her to stay, but I didn't.

"Yeah, see you later." She frowned at my reaction and turned to leave.

"Bye, Natsu, Gray." She waved.

"Yeah, bye euh.."

"Evie." Gray whispered in my ear.

"Bye Evie." The girl turned back, giving me a wink before she exited the auditorium.

"What's wrong with you?" Gray suddenly asked, his fist bumping hard against my shoulder. "You never forget a chick's name. Are you sick?" He mockingly reached out to place his hand on my forehead, but I pulled away before he could, standing up.

"Just have a lot on my mind today." I grabbed my notebook and other things and stuffed them into my bag, ready to leave.

"Does it have something to do with what your brother asked you this morning?" I stopped. "He's asked so many times now and it never bothered you this much." Gray caught up to me and we both left the auditorium, making our way out to the street.

The pavement was still wet due to the thunderstorm of last night, but the sun radiated enough warmth to make me cheer up a bit.

"I don't want to be a Spriggan, he knows that, but he keeps on asking me." Frustration built up in me once again, feeling angry and irritated as I remembered the conversation.

"He must have a good rea-" Gray began, but I cut him off.

"Did your Spriggan ever help you? Did it change your life for the better?" I asked, stopping him as my eyes stared intently at his face, waiting for a reaction.

"I don't know. I was pretty young when m-" I suddenly didn't want to hear anything about it so I cut him off again before he could've mentioned his past.

"Never mind. I just don't want anything to do with the program." I confessed, Gray already knowing how I felt about all of this. I knew I shouldn't have asked him. I wasn't even supposed to know, but I did. Truthfully, I wished my brother hadn't been a Spriggan. I didn't ask to be involved in any of this.

"Then just ignore Zeref, he'll get the hint sooner or later." Gray grinned at me, trying to cheer me up as he motioned his head at a group of girls that passed us by. They giggled when their eyes met ours, but I couldn't care less.

My signature grin crept up my face as I gave the girls a wink, smirking when they giggled. "No, it's already too late." I spoke, the smile still plastered on my face. Gray didn't avert his eyes from the girls, his own face holding that smug smile of his as he waved at them.

"Are you being dramatic again?" He asked, turning to face me when the girls entered the university building. His voice held amusement, but I could only look at him solemnly.

"He has already partnered me with somebody."

I hope you liked it!

Please tell me what you think! I'd love to get some feedback on this new story! I know it isn't much, but tell me what your first impression was!

Lots of love,

Sneak peek chapter 2:

"I'll get her one way or another, just watch." He turned to leave.

"Rape is a crime, you know that!" I yelled, reminding him.
