Fairy tail chapter three after Lucy on the Run age five
Lucy (Past life Emily)
That Night after making a fast pace to town by the next morning I quickly found a store that sale camping gear, and bought myself a small tent that was storm proof so I could live off the grind as much as possible, as well as a canteen that filled spring water into drinking water, a pan and a pot so I could cook, two hunter's knife as well as a small ice chest(think like small lunch box) and quickly paid and got the gear before the cashier noticed who was buying it. After getting the gear I quickly went to the bookstore to see if they had and books about what to and not eat in the wild, I was lucky they did. I quickly left the town by foot and made it into the next town that had woods before night fell a found a good spot by the river and made camp. And after making fire and cooking fish (I never liked fish in my past life but here I do,) and washing my face off to turn around and walk back to my tent to get my sleeping bag out and unzipping it and putting it around my shoulders, I walk out an leave the flap open so the warm air can get in, and I look up to
See a red looking fox with eight tails across from me wait eight tails… something flashes but I remember my spirits are watching best to act like I don't remember who she is, for now. I sent down "hello pretty fox, would you like to share some of my fish? I have more than enough if you do, I always liked foxes, and "The fox stars at me, and slowly nods her head. When the fish are done I picked my two and put her two on her side of the fire and sat back down to eat, we ate in silence after I threw my sticks in the fire and got the book with maps out and started looking hoping kumi would come closer, and she does she hops on my lap and lays down like she used to, I stayed still just in case she wanted to move, she doesn't so I go back to reading and talking out loud about where I might want to go, what has happened I my life, etc., and before I know it after that night it's been two months with Kumi, It was late at night one night after siting up camp a group of five noun guild mages mostly with planet and basic fire magic, but where complete creepers and outnumbered a little girl. who only had only had two sprits was not a happy camper, I quickly prayed Aquarius didn't have a date after running into the small spring and lucky me the group followed me I took a breath and thought please don't be mad as I plunged the key into the lake"Open The Gate Of the Water Bearer Aquarius" "did she stick a key into the lake?" I hold my breath as Aquarius appears looks at the males who literally have hearts in their eyes, looks back at me with an arch eyebrow, "Hi Aquarius, could you knock them out, please" her eyebrow just goes higher and turns back around for a second, I thought she was just going to leave me and treat me like how she did Cannon Lucy, but she did the opposite "UGH take this!" and a huge wave of water came out of her urn and they got swept up and knocked out went down towards the closet town which was back the other way oh twenty miles give or take. Once that was done she turns toward me with a very noun-happy look, like the one I got after summoning her during my bath time when mom was sick...ot-ohh. "Do tell me Brat what you are thinking of being out here on your own and not once summoning us sense your mothers passing, "as she grabs the front of my shirt, "I well I'm sorry, but father wasn't dealing with moms death and I couldn't take it anymore, besides you and cancer lost a friend I wouldn't let myself intrude on your grieving.." I trail off as I feel Aquarius moving and I slowly land on my two feet on the ground while Kumi is wrapped around my neck saliently watching but looking like she's asleep. "You idiotic brat, did you forget that time runs by faster in the spirit world then here? It's been a few months sense we saw you, and yet for you it's only been about two months, so don't do it again or might open my own gate to sweep you up in my own attack understand? "yes mam" she smiles "good now explain to me why you're out here and not the crap about your father no matter how much of it was true," well hell who knew how Out of character she could be.. "I want to train to be to be strong so I can find many more celeste keys, so I can have more friends, I like to join fairy tale when I'm strong enough but for now I just wane stay off the grid until I can defend myself and you and cancer as well as my knew friend here asleep in my shirt! That's why I'm out here" the whole time explain this I was walking around flapping my arms about as I talked with a fire in my eyes I didn't notice my she Aquarius who I see like my aunt did, and smiled, "I see brat, then that means your going to have to start slowly building your magic reverse up so you can keep more than one gate open, as well as our start more training." I'm pretty sure I repasted a girl with her mouth down on the floor because I heard kumi snort in my head, and Aquarius had a smirk on her face, "You mean it?" I'm also sure I had stars in my eyes, "I wouldn't of said it if I didn't mean it brat, you can call me every other day besides Sunday unless you need to get it? Between 8am and 8pm I will come and other times call cancer got it?" "Yes mam" she ruffed my hair and was gone,
After that from I would call her or cancer to train or to just keep that gate open while I did something physical or just mediated, now four months has past sense I ran away, I have mange to get four sliver keys, The Southern Cross-Crux, Lyre, The compass Key- Pyxis, The Clock-Horologium and it was now slowly turning into winter which means I need to find a place to stay soon, because my tent won't do much. But at the moment I'm in the mounts no were near a town, I think If I take a train or two I should be able to get to where Lucy met nastu..Hm... I like to make camp by water so I can call out Aquarius but kumi finally made herself known to her a few weeks ago, and Aquarius and my friends were surprise to find a Kustine who would willing be my friend, at first Aquarius didn't believe her, but when those two talked about something while I was bathing one night, not sure what they talked about but I'm pretty sure it had to do with :about old souls and what not: as Aquarius looked at me different for about five minutes when I asked what happened she said she will tell what were talked about sometime in life, in till to shut up and let her braid my hair as it was now shoulder length. Anyway Kumi started showing and telling me about herself and her powers, what two of the prettiest fans could do, how to use them, how dance of the foxes shoots of fire, how to heal basic with magic. I was sitting by the fire in my blue jeans hiker boots, a long sleeve shirt and a brown winter jacket, cooking me a rabbit I killed(rest in peace little guy) with some herbs I found and fruit I washed(hello apples and Strawberry's ) a plan soup but something warm, I was spacing out and kumi was asleep when I heard someone walking closer but paid no mind I seen other mages my age and older walk by and we pay each no mind, when I heart a throat clear, turned to see a big figure with amazing power coming from him, and so I looked up, and kept looking up in till I saw a male around early to mid-twenty(Not sure how old gildarts is..) "What's a girl like you doing out here by yourself?" I hear a stomach growl and I'm pretty sure it wasn't mine, I was right when the male blushed a tiny bit, being the kind person I am ( I heard laughter in my head, hush kumi) "would you like some bland rabbit and some fruit? I answer your questions if you a answer mine?" he stars at me a few seconds, before he smiles "sure thing kid, thanks" he sits on the long in front of him, good thing I have two bowls (sorry Kumi) I pour him a full bowl and me a half a bowl, and I the fruit I got on a leaf besides us. "Here sir, sorry it isn't much" he eyes the soup like he hasn't eaten in a day or two, "This is way more than enough little lady¸ thank you"
A thrust we eat in silence in till my bowl is clean and I drink some of my water and break the silence "so who are you if you don't mind? I'm Lucy" I look up at him, after he finishes his bite of food "I'm glidarts Clave of fairy tail, nice to meet you Lucy-" "just Lucy" "well just Lucy it's nice to meet you," I ate a piece of apple, wait he I turned to look at him so fast I might've been able to pass as the girl from the exorcist movie, "you said fairy tail, Mister Clave?" he snorts "just GIlddarts kid, and yes I am" "well sir, can anyone will join the Fairy Tail Guild?" he looks at me while he chew's his food, for a second I thought he was going to ask me to tell him why I was up here when he answered "sure can kid mage or not you can, you a mage?" I breathe out a sigh, "Awesome I'm a celestial mage Gildarts," he puts his bowl down empty and puts his chin on his hand "A celestial mage that's when you can summon sprits right? " "Yup that's me, if you want more soup you can sir, ""I think I will so how many keys is it you got?" "I have two gold, five sliver keys, " he gets some more soup " so where is the closet down gildarts do you know?' he looks up from eating " I believe it's a small town call Hagan and if you take a train it take you to Hargeon town, why though?" "I just was wounding, If you like you can stay here tonight I'm going to go to sleep, sense you're a member of fairy tail judging by your stamp I trust you not to hurt me in my sleep. Leave your bowl by the fire and I wash it in the morning Goodnight" he as a stumped look on his face "sure thanks" I close the tent and get under my sleeping bag, (Kumi, what do you think I should do?) (: about one?) (Sigh, about if I should join the guild? Or try in find more keys? I need to find a place before winter, and I do have some jewels saved up still enough for a year house and food, so) (: It might be the best bet kit, for you to join now and found a place to stay at, you could always build your own home when the time comes as well) (do you think he mind if I ask if could tag along with him if he's going back down? (: only way to find out if you go and ask him) I sigh, un-roll myself from my bag grab a spare blanket I found, unzip the tent I look out and gildarts is laying his head on a log, "excuse me GIldarts I bought you a blank thought you might want it, and to ask a question," he looks over at me in my plan blue pj pants and black shirt, "sure thing kid, thanks, what do you want to ask?" I walk over and lay the blanket out its spread out on top of him he looks surprised when I did that, "if you're going could I go down the mountains with you?" "Decided to join Fairy Tail? Sure thing kid, will leave in the morning," "Really?" Yes" "thank you" I bow deeply, "goodnight" and make my way back to bed, I'm five years old and going to join fairy tail. Oh my.
