Ch. 2: The Dawn

Disclaimer: Plain and Simple I don't own anything. *Goes to write sad poetry*


My Sun was just peaking over the horizon, warming my cold hands and feet. Then the fog settled in, blocking all light and leaving me stranded.

I had been traveling for over seven months and my collections of books, keys and magic capacity has grown more. I had made it to the East Region of Fiore from the Northern West Region. You can't even imagine how much walking that took! God, if I don't have nerves of steel then I don't know who does!

I finally had made it to the port city and was ready to continue my journey... after a quick shopping trip! I leaned over a small rck wall that over looked the small town and the endless blue ocean. It was so happy, carefree, hard working, and lively. The sea life complimented it.

It smells nice her, like salt water taffy and refreshing cherry blossoms. It was comfortable. A breeze picked up the warm air and blew my hair back. I smiled and sighed. It was so serene here.

At least for what I thought...


"A-a-a-army?!" I screamed, surprised as I stared back and firth between the huge ship tipped on its side and the approaching military. I had been saved twice that day by a crazy guy with pink hair. God, he ate like an animal, I should know I treated him to lunch for saving me the first time. Now I stood there with a bluee, flying, and you can't forget talking cat. I glanced around the watery area for my new friend. Wait... FRIEND?! No, no, no, no, NO, NO, AND NO! He's just a guy you met today, NOT a friend!

BAM-CRASH-SPOINK-PLUNK!

Speak of the devil. He fell off the ship creating a spectacular crash, not to mention the wreckage left behind, and came bolting forward. The army was approaching fast, just perfect! The pink haired boy, I believe his name was Natsu, came barreling at me.

"Let's go Happy! I did it again!" he said rushing by. I felt a forceful tug on my arm and was pulled backwards. I looked up confused and saw Natsu's head turn with a nervous expression. "RUN!"

I sped up to match his pace and never lost my breathe, guess all that walking paid off! I was still surprised from when he grabbed me to join him.

"Why?" I asked still running behind him. His hand was still grasping mine tightly. It felt... right. Warm and reassuring, like it was always supposed to be there. GREAT! There MUSt be something wrong with me today!

You wanted to join Fairy Tail, right?" he said looking back at me again, but this time with a toothy grin that took my breathe away. I could feel the slight heat rising to my cheeks and I couldn't help but start to smile.

"Then come with me!"


"Natsu! Natsu! Look! I got my Guild stamp! Isn't it cool!?" I said waving the back of my hand at him. Mira-THE Mirajane- gave me it after I walked into the guild's brawl. It was pink! I never got to wear pink clothes at home. It was always blue or green or black or, or, or, or... Some other ugly color! Nothing with more than a pink flower. I did have one pink dress... but that was when Mother was still here.

"That's good for you, Luigi," Natsu replied not even looking. Wait... LUIGI?! That dumb moron! I was boiling with anger after that...

I wasn't even this angry when the exhibitionist Gray walked up to me naked! I mean, Jesus! who wouldn't be freaked!?

"Natsu... I remembered... the least you could do is... REMEMBER MY FRIGGING NAME!" I said steaming. I was already running at him as he turned around slowly, a cold sweat noticeable on his brow. he cowered a bit, his face conveyed horror and something I couldn't figure out.

"Sorry1 I'm sorry, Luigi!" he cried cringing a bit. He reminded me a bit of a crab. My anger rose even more with the second time he got it wrong. I sped up my pace.

"LUCY-" I screamed jumping into the air my foot was about at his eyelevel and I was three feet away. Two. One. "-KICK!" I said around and giving him a good roundhouse kick to the cheek. I landed swiftly. Hey, when you're not allowed to go outside you have to learn something.

I stood up dustingg my hands off and heard silent giggles and "Pffts" all around me. I turned and saw Natsu sprawled out on a table with a steaming, throbbing, growing bump on his already pink head. It was pretty funny. A smile broke out on my face.

"Haha! Natsu... I'm sorry!" I said between laughs as I held my stomch. The whole guild erupted into laughter as well. I finally stopped having my laughing fit and looked up at the smiling faces my new guild. Their faces portrayed pure joy.I felt a warm swirl in my stomach. I liked- no loved- it here. It felt whole. I felt whole, like a void inside my heart had been filled.

Mother? Can you see? I'm in your guild! I have a new.. What's the word? Oh! A family! I have a new family! I love you, so please watch over me!

My sun peirced through the fog that slowed my journey. With light blue skies and the smell of firewood and flowers in the air I marched on towards white peaked mountains. Determined to finish my journey to... I don't know what. All I know is that it's wamr and bright there. I'll get there. I will. I promise, no matter what.
