Lucy's P.O.V.
I'm Lucy and I'm 4 years old and right now I'm walking into town to get some things for mommy while her and daddy 'talk.' I know there fighting and don't want me to see it but she doesn't have to hide it. Lately they've been fighting constantly and it Urks me so much. Sometimes I just want to yell at them to stop but then daddy would be mad at me and trust me you don't want him mad, I had to learn the hard way. I was in deep thought when I realized something...I'm lost.
"OH MY GOSH, WHAT AM I GOING TO DOOOO!" I screamed while I ran around in a circle. I slowed down so i could calm down, think through all this. I stood up tall and walked up to a tree and took a hard look at it and saw a slash mark and smirked. A year ago When they fought and essentially kicked me out to play I marked the trees so I would never get lost. I followed the path and ended up in the time square. I smiled as if it was Christmas and ran to the market for mommy. I got what she wanted and walked up to the store lady.
"Hello ma'am, fine day were having" I plastered a fake smile as she smiled back and answered.
"Yes, miss Lucy" she said and I gave her a confused look.
"Whats with the "miss Lucy" crap, you can just call me Lucy or Luce if want." I said smiling as sincere as I could get. She looked generally shocked and then she laughed. A real laugh. No fake laugh. Nothing like that. I did a face splitting grin as she gave me a bag for mama's items and as I left the store and I heard her call back.
"Good day Luce." I smiled at that and left knowing I just made my first friend. I walked into the house and set mama's things on her bed and headed down stairs for a snack when I heard yelling and then I hear a smack. It was so loud it echoed through the halls and after that I saw mama come turning around the corner and taking my hand.
"Huh!?" I yelled confused and she look at me with tears in her eyes and a red mark by her face and that's when it clicked. Daddy just slapped mama. I felt hot tears roll down my eyes as I thought.
"Why would he do that and will he do that to me...no he wouldn't, daddy loves me, right?" I questioned myself as mommy led me to my room and grabbed a suitcase I had under my bed.
"Start packing, honey I need to get you out of here it's not safe anymore. I looked at her and nodded. I knew what and who she was talking about and frankly I wanted to leave. I've always wanted to travel and see the world while I right a novel. Its been a dream of mine for awhile. I didn't see her packing so I asked.
"Why aren't you packing mama?" She looked at me and embraced me in a small hug and cried. I was shocked to say the very least but then I felt more tears roll down my face and as I cried I held her tighter. She wasn't coming with me, I knew that much...but where will I go and where will she take me?
"Where will I go mama?" I questions through sobs.
"Where the wind takes you..." She left me hanging with that. I walked away from my mansion with clothes, food, and a few other things. A 4 year old girl walking away from her family and going where the wind takes her.
3 hours later
I built a fire and opened my case for my sleeping bag. I made it pretty far on foot and now was building a fire so i don't freeze to death. I looked up at the stars and noticed something. Where was the Draco constellation? It was just blank. Nothing there as far as the eye can see. I was confused but I didn't need to worry about star right now. I need to sleep because I have a big day ahead of me tomorrow.
I woke up to the sound of chirping and buzzing. I looked a bit dazed and cracked my back as now I felt how it feels to sleep on the hard. ground. I got up and started walking through the woods and then i saw it, a cave as big if not bigger than my mansion. I yelled in delight and ran in there without an second thought.
"Home sweet home" I said to myself as it echoed through the cave. I set my stuff there and walked out and started marking the trees with my knife that I obviously did not steal from under mama's pillow. Once I was done I sat down and layer out my sleeping bag and started eating and once I was done I ran out of the cave and headed towards a village or something like that to buy more food with the money mama game me. 300,000 jewel. She said it was going to be enough for a long time.
"Excuse me ma'am but can I buy some food here?" I question looked at an older women like in her 40's or 50's. She glared daggers at me while I sat there in this helpless situation as the silence and awkwardness increased. She scowled at me.
"How much you got kid?" I knew she was trying to scam me because she thinks I'm stupid enough to give out my answer with the full amount of money I had on me.
"10'000 jewels ma'am" I even showed her the money so she wouldn't think I was lying. She looked at me and then grabbed a bunch of meat and vegetables and few fruit too. She handed them to me in a bag and said;
"5,000 jewels, kid" I gave her the money and smiled
"Please, call me Lucy" I said as I walked about but before I fully turned around I saw a her lips twitch upwards a bit and I smiled wider. I went back to the cave but before I went in I saw something move inside and I went in with my guard fully up. That's when I saw it, a white scaled dragon with beautiful gold specks within those white scales. He held the most kindest looked ruby red eyes as that I've ever seen. I was so awe struck I didn't even hear him speak.
"Who goes there?" his kind voice ringing through my ears. I bowed as said;
"Lucy Heartfilia, sir and who might you be?" I asked my voice full of confusion. He laughed as the whole cave shook.
"Why, I'm Draco, the dragon constellation." It all made sense now, that's why he wasn't there last night because he somehow became real.
"H-how?!" I panicked.
"Don't worry little girl I won't hurt you but I have one question, did you say Lucy Heartfilia, daughter of Layla?" Draco questioned and I nodded. He looked down at me with full excitement.
"Then it is time for your training!" He yelled excitingly.
"Ehhh! TRAINING!" I yelled. He explained and I put the peaces together. Mama didn't want me to leave, she needed me to so I could meet Draco and train to become a dragon slayer, celestial to be exact.

I've training with him for awhile now and I must say...I LOVE IT! The rush of magic, adrenaline, everything. I consider this dragon more of a father than my real father was. I walked into the woods to start hunting. Draco said buying food makes it easy so he makes me hunt it for him. I suddenly trip on something and yell a curse. I must get my mouth from Draco.
"Owwww... OKAY WHO WANTS TO DIE TODAY!" I must get my temper from him too. I look behind me to see a white egg with gold specks all over it. I look over at it and smirk.
"Imma hatch me a dragon" I mumble as I take the egg back to father to show to him. Little did I know I was about to hatch a white and gold cat with wings. I walked back to the cave and showed him the egg I found.
"Look dad look what I found" I yelled up to his snout while he snored. I huffed and bonked him on the nose. He woke up instantly and on his guard while I laughed. He looked down on me with the why-the-hell-you-wake-me-up look. I looked at him with the pure innocence look and he sighed a "what." I smiled.
"Look what I found when I was hunting" I yelled up to him holding the egg four him to see it. He raised a brow and I laughed. The it started cracking and I dropped it out of shock. I saw a furry little white head pop of the egg.
"What the- no dragon!" I yelled as a cat crawled out. I saw it and then instantly fell in love. She was white with a gold belly with the same ruby red eyes that dad has. I looked up at dad and pleaded for her to stay and naturally he agreed. My adventures just got a whole lot better with Marie, my exceed. The first day with Marie was a pain because she was so bossy and demanding. Jeez now I know how dad feels with me. I love her though, the way her wings shimmer and her ruby red eyes so full of excitement and hope I just can't help but smile when I see her.

I'm now eight and mastered a couple new moves like celestial dragon iron fist, celestial dragon wing attack, celestial dragon roar and a few others. Draco says I learn very quickly which I'm very thankful for. I'm training with Marie right now, she just learned max speed with her magic. I'm so proud of her!
"Lucy... When was the last time you had a bath?" He questioned. I shrugged
"3 months..." I confessed looking towards the ground.
"Go to the lake right now you reek, how can you not smell yourself right now!" He yelled at me and bonked my head lightly.
"Alright! Alright! Already I'll go, come on Marie. She followed me out by the lake and we talked while I cleaned. I walked back in the cave and dad scolded me for being so carless. I shrugged him off and laughing when he noticed I ignored him and he just yelled louder. After that fiasco I snuggled up close to dad and Marie and drafted into a dreamless slumber.
I woke up to the sound of my father's calm heartbeat. I had another nightmare about Jude again. They won't go away and its making me so mad. I just want to scream. I looked upon a daddy and sighed going back to sleep. Draco really is the best father a girl could wish for.

I walked back to the cave with Marie because it was our turn to get the firewood for father.
"Hey Marie?" I asked.
"Yeah?" She answered back.
"I don't smell daddy yet and were almost to the cave." I informed a bit worried. By the time we got back it was nightfall and we were still waiting for dad to come home. Me and Marie suddenly got this feeling and ran outside the cave and looked up at the stars. There he was, Draco in his constellation form. Ever since he and I met and I went star gazing every night and never saw his constellation there and now its up there clear as day. I fell to my knees and sobbed.
"He gone...he left us here while he's up there as a constellation!" I sobbed. I knew he wasn't coming back and I knew all good things must come an end. I looked up at Marie as she cried her heart out. I suddenly got angry and stared at Draco's 'here to stay' form and yelled at him for making Marie cry and never keeping his promise to stay. I wasn't angry I was livid. I cursed at him until my throat was dry.
"Come on Marie were going...we'll be okay I promise, trust me" I smiled at her and she cried into my chest as I thought. I'm not mad at Draco I'm just mad in general. Mad at the world for splitting my family up once more.
Hope you enjoyed this first chapter...
