Hey guys, I finally began to write! Woot! Anyways, this is a NaLu story and I hope you enjoy it. Let me know how you feel about it in the reviews (Which I really don't care about how many I get.) This idea struck my head when me and a friend were talking about our favorite anime shows and we ended up talking about 'What if this happened or What if that happened!' so, without further ado lets begin!
"Look daddy, I made a rice ball with your face on it!" A cheerful little blonde girl happily exclaimed, giving a cute smile as she held the ball of rice with a poorly crafted face in her small hands to the older man who was working on his desk, not batting an eye to his daughter's creation.
The girl whose name was Lucy Heartfilia spoke with a bubbly voice. "I made it special for you daddy, It's not good to work on an empty stomach~!" She continued talking to her father with a radiant smile etched on her face a smile of pure innocence.
"Mhmm, I'm busy right now. Come back later." Jude dismissed her with an emotionless tone and carried on with his work.
Lucy face fell, eyes closed and full of disappointment. "Okay..." She sadly spoke but, her naturally happy nature immediately came back, her smile returned and she moved closer to his desk. "I'm just gonna leave it here in case you get hungry." She tiptoed as she held the rice ball high in the air and placed it on his desk.
Jude grunted and closed his eyes in annoyance his brows furrowing as he persisted in his writing. Twitching at his daughter's bubbly nature.
Lucy didn't notice her dad's annoyed expression and carried on talking. "Today's special, ya, know? It's my-"
"LUCY! DON'T YOU LISTEN!?" Jude snapped as he smacked the rice ball off his desk, causing it to land a couple of feet behind the youthful girl. Lucy winced and got wide-eyed, taking a couple of tentative steps back with fright and hurt painted on her features.
Lucy whimpered softly. "I'm sorry..." Glancing back at her father's rice ball, she got hold of a few steps towards the door to the exit but slowly looked back to her father in the eyes.
"Um, daddy...?" She uttered in a timid voice.
"Stop being such a pest!"
Lucy flinched at his loud voice booming throughout the office.
"I DON'T WANT TO EAT YOUR SILLY RICE BALL! If I get hungry, I'll call the chef. Now, go study your business lessons and stop hassling me, you hear me!? NO MORE INTERRUPTIONS!"
Lucy's eyes watered as she raced towards the exit, stepping on the rice ball on her way out, his words echoing in her mind.
"But, daddy..." Lucy said in a choked voice as she ran in the halls of the mansion. "Today was my birthday!" Heading towards the back exit of the house sobbing. Lucy ignored the servants calling her name and continued running.
Carrying out her hands in front opening the double doors hard that they slammed onto the outside walls of the mansion. But Lucy didn't care she was too focused on running that she lost her balance making her tumbled outside and fall on the dirt, hard. She struggled to get, feeling the stinging sensation on her knees and palms the heat radiating off her freshly scratched skin. Picking up the faint calls of the servants coming closer made her jump up and continue her quest into the forest.
"Lucy!
"Come back, Lucy!"
"Miss, Lucy!"
Desperate calls filled Lucy's ears. She looked back to see Mrs. Supetto and other maids running after her, a last desperate attempt to bring her home. She closed her eyes and blocked out their yells and continued running.
I'm sorry. Lucy screamed in her head. The forest entrance coming closer she gave a determined glare. I'm not coming back. I'm on my journey. I don't want to be controlled. This time I will suceed on my runaway. I. WANT. TO. BE. "FREE!" Lucy shouted out loud into the forest. Breathing heavily while still running making sure to look back once in a while to see that no one is still pursuing her. Her scrapes burning, causing her to wince with each step she took but she continued to run until she couldn't anymore.
She ultimatly came to a halt leaning her weight on a giant oak tree gasping for air. Lucy looked down and inspected herself, her scrapes were bleeding slowly and her cute dress covered in dirt, grass stains and burs along with her tangled hair which sported leaves in some of her golden strands, her cheeks flushed from the running; sweat mixed with dirt coating her small frame. She slowly realized she just ran away from home with nothing but the clothes on her back. The sudden realization hit her like a rock as she slowly fell on the soft soil crying. Curling herself into a fetal position, she sobbed.
"M-momma...!" she called out for her mother, but nothing but a warm breeze and swaying leaves answered. Her tiny body trembled, rocking back and forth, more tears poured out of her brown orbs.
Suddenly a 'snap' came from the side. Lucy looked up to be greeted by a very, very large silvered colored wolf looking at her intently, Its ears perked up at Lucy's sniffles and its nose twitched smelling her scent and tears. Lucy stared amazed and frightened at the same time. The great creature was standing tall reaching the height of a horse! And it had wings that were currently gathered in at its sides, Lucy noticed that they looked like angel wings...
The 'wolf' slowly walked towards her, a gleam of curiosity and pity glinted in its icy blue eyes. Lucy scooted back until her back was pushed against the hard bark of the Oak tree she was occupying as it continued to amble towards her, stopping time to time from her movements. Lucy's eyes glimmered with fear that it was going to eat or harm her, but she couldn't help but feel safe with the creature. She started to breathe erratically as it was in front of her. She whimpered when it leaned its face to hers. Bracing herself for the bite, but it never came instead she felt something warm and wet touch her cheek, opening an eye she yelped in surprise as the wolf licked her tears away.
Her breath hitched, turning her head and faced the large wolf in the eyes. Gasping as she caught a small on its face, well, it looked like a smile to Lucy. She giggled softly and gave a timid smile back, causing the wolf like creature to nuzzle her face with its own.
"Thank...you." Lucy whispered as she proceeded to giggle from the soft fur tickling her face. The wolf nodded and backed away from her. Lucy stared at wolf as it walked back from where it came from. Sorrow filled her heart; watching the gentle giant leave. She looked downcast at her feet, but quickly noticed her knees no longer stung and she didn't have her scrapes anymore.
How did that-
A soft whine interrupted her thoughts. Lucy looked up, seeing the winged wolf motioning her to follow. Lucy's face filled with happiness, she nodded and ran next to her new friend as they both disappeared into the trees.
So...how was it? Let me know and give me some ideas for some later chapters! As you know the wolf with wings is just made up creature from some fans I guess, since I don't think they're from any mythology I've read. But, yeah you'll find out its history in this story and what their species is called etc. Natsu and the rest don't come until later, since me and my friend are still issuing out the plot and events. But I hope you enjoyed the first chapter so far! cya! :D
