This is my first time writing a Fairy Tail fanfic.

I hope you guys like it.

And please read the note at the bottom, it's about Frost and why she hasn't updated in a while.

Raven

Prologue: The Promise

I looked out at the gardens below, 'my final night at this "Nightmare House", and then I'll be free to live the life I want. Both me and my sister.' I thought to myself as I watched flower petals dance upon the wind.

The petals were from Mama's little garden of flowers. Though the only ones in there now were roses, lilies, irises, and silver ravens. (The last one I made up. Will be important later.)

"Ready to go?" A soft voiced whispered from behind me. I took one last look out at the small garden before turning around and smiling happily at the owner of the voice. "Yep! Let's get out of this 'Nightmare House' to the land beyond!" I whispered with excitement and determination, though on the inside I was scared out of my mind about what lay before us once we were free.

I closed my eyes, letting the feeling of anxiety and fear calm down to a dim nagging.

I opened my eyes and asked, "Got our friends?" "Yep!" "Our bags?" "Check and check." I turned to her just to make sure. She had two bags, one on each shoulder. One was mine, the other hers. She rolled her eyes when she saw me checking. "Can we go now?" She asked exasperated. I smiled and nodded my head, "Yep! Let's go Oneechan!"

Now the hard part. Guards posted all around the house, locked windows and doors, and magic barriers to keep the unwanted out and the wanted in. Though entering a place like this is almost impossible, escaping a place like this is impossible, if you didn't have magic. And that's where I come in. I've got a special kind of magic, a magic meant to have been lost thousands of years ago. The power of teleportation.

I grabbed Oneechan's hand and closed my eyes, picturing the secret house Mama took us to when we were little. She had said, 'If you're ever in and need somewhere to stay, come here.'

I never really understood what she had meant until now.

Just before I activated my magic, we both heard foots steps in the corridor. They were headed toward our bedroom door.

Oneechan turned to me and whispered quickly, "He's awake! I thought you said he was asleep!" I looked at her, the emotions in her eyes mirrored mine, fear. I shook my head and said, "He was, he must have woken up!"

The footsteps stopped in front of our door. There was a knock. A rough, but steady voice was heard through the door, "Girls open up. I know you're awake, I could hear you whispering."

I looked at my sister. We both wore the same face that said, 'Now or never.'

"Gate of dimension! Take us to our destination!" I whispered quickly, closing my eyes to focus my magic. We were surrounded by a soft glow, just as our father opened the door.

"Stop this instant!" He yelled. I could hear the rage in his voice.

"Raven!" Oneechan said, her voiced strained as I heard father came closer. "Hold on. I just need a few more seconds. If I don't get this right we could end up at the bottom of a lake." I breathed out.

I have trained myself to be able to teleport in an instant, but bringing someone along takes time.

I could hear him getting nearer. "Raven, stop this now. You and your sister are the heirs to this family. I can't allow you leave." Father said in a dangerously low voice.

"Stay away Judd!" Oneechan spat back, knowing that the more I was distracted, the more time it would take to get out. "Don't talk as if you care about us. All you care about is money. You only want me because I look like Mama, and Raven for her power."

I could tell that father, no Judd was taken aback by what she had said for he had stopped advancing toward us.

'There!' I thought. I had finally located our destination.

"Oneechan." I said while opening my eyes, "I'm ready. let's go."

Oneechan nodded her head, but then turned back to Judd saying, "Stay away from us."

We left.

Time skip! Raven and her sister are at a train station after arriving to the small house safely.

"Are you sure about this?" My sister asked. I just smiled and said, "If we stay together then it will be easier for fa- Judd to catch us. I'm pretty sure he's not going to give up without a fight. Plus, I want to find my real father."

She nodded, "But promise me this Raven. On July 17th, two years from now, we meet back up."

I smiled and asked, "Where?"

"Umm... where indeed. I know! How about Magnolia, the home of the famous guild Fairy Tail?"

"How about this instead. We don't just meet up in Magnolia, but we join Fairy Tail together. Well, unless one of us ends up joining before that."

My sister smiled, "It's a deal! And from now on call me by my name. That way if anyone found out who you really are-"

"Then no one will think of looking to you for information." I finished. Just then the train let out a whistle.

"Oh! It's time for boarding. You have to go. Good luck." My sister said as she wrapped my in a death grip of a hug.

I pulled away, and smiled. The train whistled again. I quickly picked up my bag and turned around as I arrived at one of the train doors.

"See you later!"

I sat down in a seat and looked out the window.

'I can't wait to see her again. My beautiful twin sister, Lucy. Lucy Heartifillia.'

Ok, so like I said, first time writing a Fairy Tail fanfic.

I hope you liked it.

And about my sister Frost. She's gone and she won't be typing any fanfics anymore.

She fell for this guy, but then he back stabbed her, quite literally, and left her for dead. A bystander found her. A while later. She's in a coma right now, the docs say it's self-induced. So I'm taking over for the both of us. I can't finish typing hers, but I can type new ones using the ideas she had.

This is one of them. She wanted it to be like us since I always said she acts like Lucy a little too much.

Please R&R.

Sparrow is now a Raven. Crying for the melting Frost.
