Sorry I haven't written lately. This site is highly addicting, plus I have a TON of homework to do. Any way, this has cutting in it (sorry) and a wee bit of domestic abuse. This plot is a bit overused, but only the plot is mine. The characters and places and stuff are all not mine. I don't own FT.


The little girl laughs as she plays with her mommy. Today they are princesses. They skip through the meadow, singing happy songs. Then, the man comes and takes away her mommy. The little princess cries and cries, but no one hears her or acknowledges her. Her mommy is gone, torn away too soon. Then the scene changes. The little girl has grown up a bit. She's confessing to the first boy she's ever loved. He laughs, asking if she actually thinks she had a chance with him. The poor girl bursts into tears and runs.

For years, she hides away from everyone. Her father, a stern man, whips her every time he's unhappy with her conduct. Which so happens to be almost every day. The girl has permanently red eyes from crying so much. Then, she changes. She gets cold, shuts down. No one can force open her heart, no one can hear her silent cries for help. The red eyes turn into red lines down her wrist. No one notices because no one is close enough to her to do so.

So she runs away from her angry father and the disappointment his eyes hold. She ends up in a city called Magnolia. Her family was rich so she just siphons out small amounts of cash to set up an apartment and gets a job at the local bookstore. The city's best high school takes her in. It's name: Fairy Tail.


Lucy Heartfilia is the outcast at Fairy Tail. She wears long-sleeved black t-shirts and gray sweatpants and never speaks to anyone. Not even to apologize for bumping into them. Instead, she glares, as if it were their fault. She's technically famous. Everyone knows her as the Demon if they don't know her as Lucy. No one's managed to get past her icy exterior, not that many have tried. She beats up anyone who tries. However, a certain blue cat has become obsessed with her ever since he heard her sing.

"LUSHI!" the exceed cries, slamming into the blonde. She stumbles a bit before catching herself. Sighing, she peels the cat off of her and sets him on the ground. Lucy kneels in front of him, letting him hug his knees.

"What, cat?" she asks harshly. The cat looks up at her with tears in his eyes.

"Charla rejected my fish again today!" he sobs.

Lucy sighs internally and picks up the animal. No matter how many times she told him to leave her alone, he always came crying to her when he got rejected. She holds him while she locates his owner. Pissed, she stomps towards the pink haired boy, who of course was in a fight with his black haired friend. The pinky threw fire at his friend, who reciprocated with blocks of ice. (A/N I am keeping the magic element in this AU)

"Oy! Pinky!" she shouts, grabbing his attention. He puts down his fists and glares at her.

"What d'ya want, blondie?" he yells back.

She gestures to the cat, who fell asleep in her arms. "Take better care of your cat and don't let him near me again."

She says the same thing every time so Natsu just kind of ignores it. He takes the cat and turns to leave. He's tried to fight her about it before and always lost. To his surprise, he hears Lucy humming quietly to herself as she walks away, a familiar tune that his father taught him.

"It started out as a feeling.

Which then grew into a hope.

Which then turned into a quiet thought,

Which then turned into a quiet word.

And then that word grew louder and louder,

'Til it was a battle cry," she sang, perfectly on pitch. Natsu stopped to stare at the blonde, but she was too absorbed in her song to care.

"I'll come back,

When you call me.

No need to say goodbye."

"You have a beautiful voice," Gray interrupted, ignoring Natsu's warning looks. Lucy spun around and noticed the two boys were still there. However, she didn't react like they thought she would, which would be sending them to heaven quite a bit early. Instead, she gave them a small, sad, smile. She looked beautiful with the setting sun illuminating her golden locks. They contrasted strongly with the black leather jacket she wore, but it was who she was.

"Thanks." With that one word, their worlds changed. The blonde Demon, who never spoke kindly, never smiled, never laughed, had smiled and spoken gently. She walked away, her icy demeanor gone as her voice continued in the beautiful song.

"Just because everything's changing,

Doesn't mean it's ne'er been this way before.

All you can do is try to know who your friends are,

As you head off to the war.

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light.

You'll come back,

When it's over,

No need to say goodbye.

You'll come back,

When it's over,

No need to say goodbye…"


If you haven't heard this song, I highly recommend it. It's beautiful. Song credits go to Regina Spektor and her amazing "The Call", which is the end scene song for "Prince Caspian" of the Narnia series.
