A/N

This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me please. I will not be pairing my OC with any other FT characters, though there will be other implied pairings between characters. Enjoy reading and please review and/or favorite if you so choose. Constructive criticism is always welcome.

Prologue

In a small village, there lived a twelve-year-old girl with long, sea-green hair and eyes of the same color, who lived alone because her parents had died in an accident only a month ago. This twelve-year-old's parents were researchers who experimented on the girl and implanted a very rare lacrima into her body. This lacrima was a Sea Dragon Slayer Lacrima, and made the girl, who already possessed a massive amount of magical prowess and power for her age, have even more so. The rarity of the lacrima inside her and the extremely high level of magical ability that she had attracted the attention of a dark guild that wanted the ability of the girl and the lacrima dwelling within her for their own purposes. But at the moment, the girl was alone in her house, and was about to turn in for the night when she suddenly heard a knock at the door.

She went to the door and undid the locks, opening the door and seeing the dark figures of two men in cloaks. "Would your name happen to be Lin Aine?" asked the shorter of the two men, who was on her left. "Y..yes," Lin answered nervously, not sure why these two men were here in the first place. "That's great," said the shorter man with a sinister grin. "We need you to come with us back to our organization for some very important business."

Lin, feeling danger with her heightened Dragon Slayer senses, activated her magic and punched the shorter man directly in the face, her hand encased in a sphere of pressurized water. The shorter man fell to the ground, clutching at his nose. The larger man, who was far more muscular and had remained silent, made a clumsy grab for Lin, who ducked and ran, jumping over the short man and running off into the trees surrounding her small village.

She ran for a long while, hoping the men weren't trailing her, before finally sitting down and resting against a tree. Where could she go? She couldn't go back to her village, the men would just find her again and go after her. She had no food or supplies with her whatsoever. Then again, she hadn't had much back home in the first place. Lin thought for a few minutes and decided she would go back to her house and grab what supplies she had, then would travel along the small dirt road that led out of her village until she found somewhere else to live. It pained her to leave the villagers. Although none of them were her friends and she knew they secretly feared her because of her powers, she had still known them for as long as she could remember.

She put aside her thoughts and closed her eyes, when suddenly a hand clamped over her mouth and she heard a mysterious voice say, "You can run, but you can't hide." She struggled against the massive arm of the larger man, who had tracked her down and sneaked up on her. Lin built up magic in her mouth and released a jet of water from her mouth, blasting the man's arm away. She quickly stumbled to her feet again and hit the man in the head with another jet of water and ran again, this time through the woods towards the path that led from her village.

She wouldn't stop to get supplies from home, she decided. It was too dangerous with these men roaming around the area. Lin was too tired from running and using her magic to escape from the men again. Which brought up the question in her mind, just who were these guys? Oh well. She would gather information as she traveled and in the next town. For now, she had to focus on running.

She ran and ran and ran for hours on end, making her way along the path. Her legs were burning, screaming at her to stop running and rest. She knew if she stopped, however, that she wouldn't be able to start again. Lin kept running until she couldn't move her legs. She collapsed and skidded a few feet on the ground, feeling more pain than ever before in her life. She panted and turned onto her back, wincing from the effort. She breathed a few more times before closing her eyes and finally succumbing to the darkness advancing onto her.

Oh, and btw, if you hadn't guessed already, the other FT characters will be included in later chapters. Bye!
