So this is my first fanfic so please review and give me your opinions and advice to help me become a better writer.
Oh and I don't own Fairy Tail in any way shape or form I only own my OC's :)
I've been living close to Magnolia, but not once have I stepped a foot in my guild Fairy Tail. Only Master Makarov, Mira, and Levy know why I left. I got pregnant at 18. Not only was I scared but also I was getting attacked by dark guilds who wanted my magical power and for the fact it basically doubled when I got pregnant. So Makarov basically put me in a protection program for mine and Arashi's sake. He only let Levy know because I asked and Mira because she handles all the requests, so this way Levy could get jobs for me without raising suspicion throughout the guild. Levy of course went on all the requests with me and sometimes Mira came along too under the master's orders. Makarov also pulled a few strings to get Porlyusica to help and watch over me during the pregnancy and later helped deliver Arashi. As for everyone in the guild Makarov told them I left under my own circumstances. After I had Arashi Levy and Mira came at least once a week to see the both of us and they always told me what was going on in the guild, what everyone was doing, but more importantly what my team was doing. They told me that they still haven't given up on trying to find me. They told me that nobody is the same since I left that through it all Natsu had to be the one taking it the hardest. Ezra is more pissed than anything; Grey and Natsu hardly fight with each other anymore, Happy is depressed and isn't trying to give Carla fish anymore while Carla is trying to cheer Wendy up. So basically the team are sulking around, but I've been told that they still go on requests and hope they find information about my where – bouts. I feel kinda bad about hiding from them. Any ways off topic Makarov comes to see us every month and he told me yesterday that I can finally go back now that Arashi is old enough.
It's been eight years. Eight long years since I've seen my team, but it's also been eight years I got to spend with my adorable son Arashi. He reminds me so much of his father.
I just tucked my little boy into bed, as I brush his blonde spiky hair out of the way and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for the both of us.
I'm finally going back; back to my home, my family; back to everyone and everything.
As I walk out of Arashi's room I heard a slight nock at the front door. Who's coming this late at night? I thought as I glanced at the clock; its ten o'clock at night. I go and answer the door anyways. I open the door to see my best friend for the past eight years Rose. I notice she's holding her seven year old daughter Ayame in her arms. I didn't get the chance to invite her in before she said.
"Lucy we need to talk." She had an almost desperate tone in her voice and I could see the worry in her eyes. I nodded a bit worried and let her inside closing the door behind her. I followed her to the living room and watch her lay a sleeping Ayame on the couch. With her back facing me she asked.
"Are you really going back?"
"Yes" I replied, now she's facing me and nodded her head.
"I have to leave Lucy" she said
"What? Why? Where are you going!" I say, what is she doing? I thought. She just shrugs her shoulders looking down at her daughter then up to me meeting my gaze. I got it in an instant.
"It's because of him isn't?" I asked. She nodes tears now welling up in her eyes. I grab her and pull her in a hug trying to calm her down. Thinking Ayame's father what does he want? Remembering what she told me about him and let's say he's not the nicest guy around.
"I need a favor" she said in a shaky voice.
"Anything just name it" I say as we pull away from our hug.
"Lucy I need you to look after Ayame till I can come back to get her, when I know it will be safe for her." I look at her in complete shock that was something I was expecting.
"Y-Y-You want me to look after her!" I stuttered.
She nodded. "Yeah I'll even send money every month to help out with food and anything she needs."
I just look at her in shock and pondering her question. I could see why she wants' to leave Ayame with me. I'm strong I think… But also I belong to the strongest and #1 guild in all Fiore Fairy Tail. Where nobody unless there stupid would try to lay a hand on Ayame.
"What would I tell her when she wakes up and you're not here Rose?" I asked. She thought about it before giving me an answer.
"Tell her that mommy had to go on a mission" she said
"And what do I tell her when she asks how long you're going to be gone for?" I asked. Now I'm staring at her intently. I could see every emotion flash across her eyes pain, anger, worry, and sadness, but the one emotion that never left her eyes was fear.
"I don't know Luce tell her for a while, but I'll be home before she knows it." She said it in an emotionless tone, now all emotions were gone from her eyes and voice like she put them in a box locked them up and threw away the key. We stare at each other in silence for a few moments.
"Fine but only on one condition" I say pausing till she gives me a nod. "Come back alive not just for Ayame but for everyone else that loves you." I say with tears running down my face. She gives me a simple nod and pulls me in to a hug and whispers.
"Thank you thank you so much you have no idea what this means to me."
"No problem" I say as we pull away once again from a hug. "Just keep your promise" I say wiping away my tears.
"Okay I will" she says.
We both fell in too deep thought thinking of the days ahead of us. The ticking of the grandfather was all that was heard in the silence. We were brought back out of the silence when the clock told us that it was now 11 pm.
"Oh gosh I got to go or I'll miss my train!" Rose said as she walked over to the couch where her daughter was sleeping all this time. She bent down looking at her daughter for the last time for some time and whispered "Be good for Auntie Lucy and always know no matter where momma is she will always love you" and gave her a kiss good bye.
Just watching her made my heart break. I don't think I would ever be able to do what she's doing. She's super strong if she can seriously leave her daughter, but I know she's not doing it because she wants to she's doing it because she has to, and for the sake of her daughter's life.
She abruptly stands up and walks towards the door, I of course follow her and notice for the first time since she got here there were two suitcases in my entry way one black one and a slightly smaller pink one. Rose grabs the handle to the black one and opens the door. Even though her backs to me I can tell she's crying.
"The pink suite case has all of her clothes, all her bathroom stuff, and a few toys." She says. "Please take good care of Ayame." And with that she walked out the door closing it behind her, not even giving me a chance to say good bye.
I stood there for a few minutes just staring at the door, with tears running down my face I turn around and headed back into the living room walking to the couch where Ayame was sleeping. I picked her up looking at the little girl in my arms sleeping so peacefully. I carry her up stairs to the spare bedroom and tucked her into bed. She has no idea what just happened. I thought as I walked out the room closing the door behind me heading for my own room, where I put on my pj's, turned off the lights and climbed into bed. I need to get some sleep tomorrow is a big day after all for all of us. I thought, and as soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep dreaming of everybody I get to see tomorrow and introducing not one, but now two kids.
Arashi means storm and Ayame means Iris in Japanese.
