Hello everyone! So this will be a new story that I'll be making I think once a week. I hope you enjoy it and remember to leave rates and reviews. See you later!
Chapter 1:
(Natsu POV)
"Where are you?" I ask no one as I stomp through the forest. "This isn't funny. Come out. I've been searching for weeks!" I hear no oversized footsteps. I scream in frustration. "Where are you Layla!?"
Layla is my dragon parent. She taught me my magic, which is light dragon magic. When I was a baby, I was found in the forest and she raised me an taught me everything I know. She told me that I was a light dragon. An actual dragon, but she never told me who my birthparents were. I'm guessing she didn't know. She taught me how to go into my dragon form, since she found me in human form. She was always too happy in my opinion. I wouldn't blame her though. She had to give up her child to her husband because her daughter had dark dragon magic. She was probably glad to have someone to teach magic to. I considered her my own mother, but I know she was trying her best to think of me as her child. A few weeks ago she disappeared without a trace. I don't know where she is, but I've been searching everywhere. There's been no sign of her. There are too many things she hasn't taught me yet. She can't leave now. I'm only 10 years old by the way. How do you expect me to survive?
I kept stomping my small feet on the ground. At least she gave me a scarf to remember her by. I pushed to scarf to my nose and sniffed it.
"BOO!" A little girl's voice yelled.
"AAAAHHH!" I looked around frantically for the source of the voice. I spotted her hanging up side down on a tree branch. She was giggling. "Who are you? What are you doing there? How long have you been there? Are you alone? Are you stalking me? Why did you sneak up on me like that?" I breathed heavily. The little girl back flipped jumping off of the branch. "Don't do that! You'll hurt yourself!" I warned. She landing perfectly on her feet without a sound. Afterwards she stretched her arms above her head like a gymnast and looked at me. She smiled.
"Natsu!" She screamed while jumping at me, causing me to fall over. My eyes widened. "It took so long to find you! You move around too much, it's hard to trace you!" She hugged me tightly like a teddy bear.
"What? Who are you? Why didn't I smell you nearby? How do you know me?" I asked quickly. I was still lying on the ground. She got up off of me with a frown.
"You don't know?" I shook my head. She sighed. "I'm Lucy! I blocked my scent. Can't you do that? Apparently no, because I could smell you a mile away. My mother told me about you. She didn't tell you about me?" She explained with a bit of sadness in her eyes.
"Who is your mother?" I asked.
"Layla, of course! Your an idiot, wouldn't you be able to notice by my appearance? Or did she not show you her human form. Sneaky mother, sneaky." She held her fist to her chin like she was thinking. I started to look at her. She had short golden blonde hair with a little bit tied to the side. She also had warm, chocolate brown eyes. She was short and had a light blue, flowing dress that reached her knees.
"Layla is you mother? Does that mean your the one she had to send to her husband? She said you were a dark dragon and that she couldn't train you?" I questioned. She smiled.
"So she did talk about me. Yes, I was sent to my father to learn magic. I can see that I learned much more than you though, considering the whole leaving your scent everywhere situation. Can you read thoughts though?" I looked at her confused. Reading thoughts? "I guess not. I'll have to teach you then!"
"What makes you decide if you can teach me? I'm obviously older than you. Shouldn't I be teaching you?" I scoffed.
She giggled. "My mother and father told me if they had to leave, I was to find you and teach you! Don't get cocky, I'm only a year younger." She huffed and turned away crossing her arms and pouting.
"Where did she go?" I asked.
"She had to go to some meeting somewhere. I don't know when she'll be back though. So don't ask!" She said still avoiding eye contact.
"How do you know all of this?"
"Well she had to tell one of us, but she thought you were too stupid to keep this information to yourself." She giggled.
"Oh... Hey!?" I asked offended.
"Her words not mine!" She said laughing and putting her arms up like she was surrendering. She reached her hand to mine. I pouted. "Come on let's go!" she said motioning me to take her hand. I grabbed it.
"Go where?" I demanded.
"To Fairy Tail of course! Jeeze... She didn't tell you anything did she?" She inquired as she held my other hand tightly and closed her eyes. "Just hang on okay?" I nodded, not knowing what to expect. A dark cloud surrounded us and we appeared in a town. I felt dizzy.
"Welcome to Magnolia, Natsu. We are going to join Fairy Tail. You will love it! It's where wizards go to find jobs and they fight all the time and destroy everything! It's amazing! I'll show you my house later. Come on!" She said tugging my hand and pulling me into town.
We ran for about ten minutes straight, but she didn't seem to break a single sweat. She must have had some tough training. I wonder who her father was. "Acnologia. My father is Acnologia." Her squeaky voice ring in my head.
"What. Why are you in my head?" I asked frantically.
"I told you. I'll teach you. Just come on we're almost there." She said aloud. She smiled brighter. We ran for another minute or so and ended at the front of a large building with a flag that had a strange mark on it.
"Here we are. This is Fairy Tail Natsu. Let's join." She pulled me inside and ran to the wooden bar. She stood in front of a short man with a grey mustache and balding hair. He was sitting on the countertop. "Master Makarov. I am Lucy and this is Natsu," pointing to herself then me, "We want to join your guild! He wants his mark red on his right shoulder!" She said. I looked at her confused until I heard a small pop and saw the mark that was on the flag outside on my shoulder. My eyes widened and I looked at Lucy, who now had the mark on her right hand, in black.
She smiled at me and hugged me again. "There. Now we are official Fairy Tail mages!" She jumped up and down. "I kinda looked through your mind to see your favorite color. I'm sorry." She said embarrassed. I nodded saying it was fine. She smiled again. "We have to go introduce ourselves to everyone. Let's go to Erza and Gray first." She said.
She dragged me to a girl with scarlet hair and a raven haired boy with no shirt or pants. "Gray, your clothes." A brown haired girl said as we arrived. The boy screamed and started searching for his clothes as the two girls laughed.
"Nastu. Don't tell them your a dragon okay? Say you are a dragon slayer." Lucy whispered. We walked over tithe small group.
"Hello! I'm Lucy and this is Natsu. We just joined the guild. I hope we can be friends!" She grinned and let the others introduce themselves as she walked to each one of them.
"Yo pinky! Stop staring into space!" I turned to see the black haired boy without a shirt.
"Don't call me pinky! My name is Natsu. Go put some clothes on!" I told him. He looked down and screamed. Then he ran around asking people if he could borrow their shirts. I laughed and turned to see a red haired girl and a white haired girl fighting. They looked a little older than him.
"Hi. I'm Natsu. What are your names?" The two girls looked to me with death glares and continued fighting. I shivered.
"Don't worry Natsu, they will calm down later." Squeaked a girl with messy blue hair. "I'm Levy McGarden. It's nice to meet you." She smiled and stuck out her hand for me to shake. I shook it and smiled. "The one with the red hair is Erza Scarlett, and the one with the white hair is Mirajane Strauss. They are huge rivals. I think you will be able to get along with them individually though, so don't worry. Just try not to eat Erza's strawberry cake." She laughed nervously.
I met everyone else and they all seemed pretty nice. Although we just met, it seems like the mages of Fairy Tail are a big family. I smiled.
"Ready to go?" Lucy popped up and asked. I looked at her and smiled saying yes. I said goodbye to everyone and we headed out of the guild.
"Okay so we are going to my house okay? You will be living there too. I made it myself so try not to get your hopes up. It's in the woods, so I'll be able to teach you there too." She said as we walked toward the Magnolia forest. We talked about all of the people we met and what she'll be teaching me.
We stopped at a clearing in the woods. "This is where it is. It's hidden so no one will find us. I put a barrier around it too, so if anyone comes by, they will be transported to another part of the woods. Just try not to let anyone follow you when you come here okay?" She looked to me and smiled.
She turned back to the empty area and pressed her hands together. It created a shadow and it swirled around a few times. It separated and then appeared a large cottage. I looked at it with awe. How could she make such a thing as this? She giggled and started walking towards it.
She opened the door and revealed a living room with a large fireplace, a large desk, and an oversized couch. There were long windows behind the couch. She turned and showed me toward the kitchen, that had a hearth a pantry, a utensil cabinet, large rock countertops, and an island that we could sit at to eat. Down the hall were two bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of each was mine. By bedroom had a large bed, with super comfy covers. There was also a small fireplace. On my left side was a large window, that looked over a small garden outside. Next to a desk was a large wardrobe, with tons of clothes. How did this little girl make something as amazing as this? It must have taken her forever. In the bathroom was a bath, shower, toilet, and a sink. Simple enough.
I walked out the back door to the garden. It had so many different flowers and plants. There were also a few birds hanging out. I walked over to a chair and sat down.
"Do you like it?" Lucy surprised me. She was sitting in the chair next to me.
"Yeah. How did you make it though? It must have taken weeks."
"My dad taught me a lot more than my mom taught you. It only took an hour or so." She said monotonously. My jaw dropped. " I found this place a couple of weeks ago, before I went to search for you. My mom told me that she left you in this forest, so I checked here first." She looked at the stars.
"Oh." I said a bit embarrassed. She giggled. I followed her action and looked at the twinkling stars and the bright moon.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of you okay? My mom told me that we have to stick together. We'll stay together, forever, right?" She said with uncertainty.
"Of course. We are like yin and yang, right? Even though I met you not to long ago, we will be best friends, and stay by each other's sides, and help each other when in trouble."
I saw her smile. It was a small, sweet smile. "Thank you Lucy. For helping me."
"Of course Natsu. My mother chose to train you for a reason, you know."
I didn't completely understand how that related to what we were talking about, but I didn't let it keep me stumped. We stayed quiet for a while, while staring at the stars. I won't be alone anymore. I thought of Layla and I talking under the stars. I smiled.
"Hey, Natsu."
"Hmm? Yeah Lucy."
"If the dark magic ever consumes me, you'll save me right?"
"Of course Lucy. I promise."
"Thank you Natsu. Im going to go to sleep now. Good night." She stood up and walked inside and closed the door.
"Good night."
What did she mean by that? Being consumed by darkness? Anyhow, I'll save her if she needs help. She saved me from being lonely.
I stood up and walked to my room. Trying to make as little noise as possible. If she is a dragon, she must have the same senses as me. I closed the door to my room and hopped onto my bed. It was so soft, I immediately fell asleep.
Thank you Lucy.
I smiled in my sleep.
