Natsu walked towards the window and sighed. Its been 7 years since he was taken here. 7 long years since Igneel disappeared and the start of all this torture. He knew he was getting stronger, but he didn't like this man. And he never learned who he was, where he came from, and the man never even gave Natsu his name. Natsu opened the window and leaned out. He braced himself ready for the collar to shock him. He opened his eyes when nothing happened.
" Strange...," Natsu leaned out the window more, until he fell out. He sat up straight and looked back. He tugged his collar and smiled.
" Finally. I wonder why it's not shocking me anymore," Natsu shrugged and explored the town. It's been years since he came outside. Sad huh? Natsu laughed to himself. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and bumped into someone. That someone was a rather short old man.
" Watch where you're going, you old fart," Natsu said and started walking away. The old man turned around.
" I've never seen you around here before. What school do you go to?" The old man asked.
" School?" Natsu asked and turned around, suddenly curious.
The old man nodded, " School started a week ago. And I can feel your magic energy, you should join a wizards' school."
Natsu stared dumbfounded at the old man. " I don't need to go to school. I'm strong enough." Natsu said and started walking away. The old man suddenly changed size, he was now way taller than Natsu. Natsu stared up in awe, until the man grabbed him and threw him across the street.
" The hell? Why'd you do that Jii-chan?" Natsu yelled.
" You still have room for improvement, Child. Now come with me, I'll show you my school."
" Your school?" Natsu asked, following the old man until they arrived at a large school.
" This is Fairy Tail Academy, a school for wizards. Normal humans can also attend school here if they wish. I am Makarov, the school principal. Where are your parents?"
Natsu looked down at the ground, " I don't have any. I mean Igneel found me in a forest and raised me, he's a fire dragon, and he's awesome! But... 7 years ago he disappeared." Natsu left out the part where a man found him. Luckily, Makarov didn't ask any more questions. Why am I answering him?
Makarov sighed, " Alright then, you can stay in the dorm rooms with the other boys. Go ahead and go in, you'll find your way to the office where Porlyusica will give you a dorm room number." Makarov said and shoved Natsu in past the gates.
" W-what I didn't agree to this!" Natsu exclaimed. He turned around but Makarov was no longer there. " Jeez, that old man..." Natsu walked to the front of the school. " Guess I'll just enter. Won't hurt to get a bit stronger..." Natsu opened the door and walked into the hall. He noticed that there weren't many kids walking around. Natsu turned to the right of the corner, and bumped into someone else.
" Hey, idiot! Watch where you're going," the boy said. Natsu studied him, the boy was around the same age as Natsu, with black spiky hair, and didn't have a shirt on... or pants.
" Uh where are your clothes? " Natsu asked.
" Oh shit! When did I take them off?" He shouted and looked around and found them by the wall. He walked back over to Natsu, while putting his shirt and pants back on.
" Name's Gray Fullbuster, who're you?" Gray asked.
" Natsu Dragneel."
" I see. You're new? Never saw you around here before."
" Yeah... So I take it you're a wizard, huh?" Natsu asked.
" Yeah. Not that many people here who aren't. My magic is Ice Make." Gray held out his hand and created a small symbol of the Fairy Tail mark, that symbolized the school, made of ice.
" Whoa... Thats kinda cool, but mine's cooler. I'm a fire dragon slayer. And I was raised by a dragon."
Gray laughed, " A dragon? Do they even exist."
Natsu erupted in flames, " Igneel did exist! He raised me, then he..." Natsu extinguished his flames.
Gray stopped laughing, " Then what?"
" He disappeared... I woke up one morning and he was gone!"
Gray frowned, " I'm sorry."
Natsu shook his head, " Nah, its fine, I've already planned to find him. Whenever I finish school."
" Thats good. Anyway I'll show you the way to Porlyusica's office so you can get your room number." Gray said and led the way down the hall. He opened a door and stepped in, Natsu following behind.
" Uh Porlyusica?" Gray called.
" What is it?" The pink haired lady asked. Natsu moved closer.
" I was sent to get my dorm room number." Natsu answered.
" Well then here," She passed him a slip of paper with a number, " Now get lost," Natsu and Gray ran out the room.
" 216," Natsu read.
" Hey, thats my room. Guess we're sharing huh?" Gray asked.
" Yeah,"
" Alright I'll meet you there. You can go pick a locker, its down the hall here, just turn right and there will be a large door, open that and there's a locker room. Its for boys only, for P.E." Gray said.
" P.E? Can we use magic in that class." Natsu asked.
" Yeah, they don't really care as long as you're doing something. Just don't kill anyone. Oh and here you can use this lock, Its an extra one."
Natsu laughed lightly, " Thanks," Natsu walked down the hall and turned right. He found the large door Gray was talking about and opened it. There was only two other people in the room, they looked at him strangely. He moved to an empty locker and stuck his lock on.
" Hey pinky, how about you move somewhere where no one can see you?"
Natsu turned around to face one of the teenagers. " What?"
" You heard me. Pinky."
" My hair isn't PINK! Its Salmon." Natsu said.
The boys smirked at him. Natsu didn't like their faces so he punch the guy, not too hard though. But to Natsu's surprise the boy flew across the room and hit the lockers, on the other side. Natsu stared at his fist and grinned to himself. The other boy glared at Natsu.
" No wonder your parents abandoned you," He spat.
Natsu's eyes widened, "Who told you about that?"
" Some of us already know-"
" Who told you?" Natsu yelled, his whole body now up in flames.
The other boy's eyes widened, " Some guy in my group overheard you talking to the principal!"
Natsu growled, and the boy ran off. The one by the lockers stood up slowly and followed his friend.
" Dammit!" Natsu yelled and punched a locker, " My parents didn't abandon me..." He whispered.
It has been seven years now. Seven years since her mother died. Seven years since her father turned cold towards her. It seemed as if he didn't care about her anymore...Overall, her life was miserable and there was nothing she could do about it. She's now 17 years old and was finally planning on running away. She didn't want her father to plan out her life for her. She was Lucy Heartfilia and she was going to make her own damn decisions!
Lucy started to pack everything that she really needed and wanted to keep including clothing, money, her story she was writing, some books, and a lot of other things. She attached her whip to her belt along with her Celestial keys. She checked if she got everything. She was only missing one thing...She turned to look at her desk. A big white box was sitting there. She walked over to it and picked it up. It was a present from her mom, the last thing she had given to her before she died.
"Open! Gate of the Maiden: Virgo!" Lucy summoned. A pink haired spirit wearing a typical black and white maid outfit appeared.
"Punishment, Princess?" She asked.
"N-No Virgo! I need you to take my stuff I packed to the Spirit World and take care of it for me," Lucy explained.
"As you wish, Princess," Virgo said, taking Lucy's packed things and disappeared.
Lucy walked down the stairs and past the kitchen. Luckily for her, her father was facing the opposite direction. She quickly made her way to the exit. She opened the door and closed it softly so he could not hear. She had finally left her home. She smiled as she ran away from her home. She was finally free, but then again...what will she do now? She continued to run until she found herself in a town...Magnolia to be specific.
Lucy decided to find a place to stay first. She happened to come across an open apartment that had a good price, so she took it. Entering her new room, she decided to look around her new home. Once she was done looking around, she summoned Virgo.
"Virgo, can you bring me my stuff?" She asked. The spirit nodded and disappeared again. She returned again, but this time with Lucy's stuff.
"Would you like me to unpack for you, Princess?" Virgo asked.
"No, its fine. I can do it," Lucy smiled. Virgo nodded and left. Lucy began to unpack her stuff.
After about an hour or so, Lucy finally finished packing. Lucy decided to go have a look around the town. She summoned Plue, a white dog-like spirit she had named that was from a silver key, to accompany her. She picked him up, exited her apartment, and started to wander around Magnolia. She liked this town so far.
"Do you like this town, Plue?" Lucy asked.
"Pun pun!" Came Plue's reply.
"Hmm...I'll take that as a yes...?" Lucy smiled.
"Pun pun!"
It was getting dark out, so Lucy decided to head back. She entered her apartment and placed Plue down. She headed to the bathroom and took a bath, got dressed, and then came back out to find Plue on her bed. She smiled as she sat down next to him.
"Wanna go back now?" Lucy asked him.
"Pun pun!"
"Go ahead then," Lucy said and watched as Plue disappeared. Once he was gone, Lucy laid down on her bed and fell asleep.
Well hope you like so far. Please Review! :D
