I Do Not Own Fairy Tail
I sighed quietly and went inside the train deciding that there was no going back now. I was in one of the middle train carts when I looked out the window and saw... UNCLE NATSU! I was in total shock that I just stood there staring at him. What was he doing here, was he looking for me? 'I can't let him find me I have to move along the train carts,' I thought as I began running towards the front of the train. As I was running I opened one of the cart doors, that allows you to gain access to other parts of the train, I was knocked down by someone. "Oww that hurt," I said massaging my forehead. "Oh I'm so sorry here let me help you up," a soft voice said offering me their hand. "No the fault is mine I wasn't paying attention," I said grabbing ahold of the hand being offered to me, and I was lifted up off the ground. "Sorry for not introducing myself my name is Hibiki Lates," said a boy with fair skin, dark blonde hair, dark brown eyes, a light blue dress shirt, and black slacks, he seemed to be around the age of 18 or 19. "Hibiki why are you just standing here let's... oh hello there little lady my name is Eve Tearm pleased to meet you," said a smaller boy with fair skin as well, blonde hair, dark green eyes, a pink dress shirt, and black slacks, he looked to be 16 years old. "Are you two glued to the floor or something can we... what is a little lady like you doing on a train alone I'm pleased to make your acquaintance I'm Ren Akatsuki," said a man with dark skin, black hair, dark brown eyes, a yellow dress shirt, and black slacks, he looked the oldest he was about 21 or 22. They were so polite and charming that I couldn't help but blush a light shade of pink which was highly noticeable on my white skin. "Ah sorry I forgot to introduce myself my name is Yuki Aono," I said with a smile. "What a beautiful name so what are you doing on this train." Eve asked in a friendly tone. "Ohh well I was... umm... I uh," I was then interrupted by Hibiki. "Those keys they're Lucy's how did you get them," he said slightly raising his voice. "Oh these were my mom's she gave them to me," I said looking down at the pouch. "Wait you mother is Lucy," Ren asked astonished. I nodded my head as they looked at me with blank astonished looks on their faces. "Wait what did you mean by 'were your mother's'," the three of them asked in unison. "Oh that well it's kind of a long story." I said looking down at the ground.
We walked over to one of the seats in the train and I explained everything to them. When I had finished telling the story they had shocked expressions along with a deep sadness. "I see that's why it's been so quiet lately," Hibiki said with sadness. "Yeah we used to hear a lot of things about her and the missions she went on. Ren added. "Really she was that well known," I said surprised. "Yeah everyone was so fascinated by her strength she even inspired us to become stronger," Eve explained. I felt this sense of happiness and comfort, not only did my mom have an impact on Loke's life she had a big impact on people around her especially her close friends. "So what's a pretty little girl like you doing so far away from home," Eve asked draping his arm around my shoulder. "Wha-what do you mean," I couldn't help but blush a dark shade of red, at the fact that he called me pretty and he had his arm around me like we were a couple. "Well this train is going to Clover Town right," he asked me. "Yeah but how did you know I was going to Clover Town," I said in shock. "This is the only train that leaves to Clover Town at this time," Ren said. "Oh well I have work to do there today," I answered Eve's question. "What a stroke of luck so are we more or less," Hibiki said hugging me in excitement. "So why are you guys going to Clover Town," I asked trying to pretend that nothing happened. "We got a call from our leader to go assist a girl who took a job request there and to bring her back home if possible," Ren said taking pride in their mission. "What girl, where is she from," I asked suspiciously. "We don't know all we know is that she's from Fairy Tail and she's about your age, why," Eve asked with curiosity. "Because I'm the one that you guys are looking for," I said grabbing the job paper and showed it to them. "What are you thinking you shouldn't be taking on missions like this," Hibiki said with concern in his voice. "Why because I'm too small, I'm too young, or am I too weak," I said having heard every excuse the adults gave me. "No its not that its just that this mission is to dangerous for you especially if you're alone," he said clearing things up. "I know how dangerous it is but that doesn't matter to me this is just something that I have to do," I said trying to convince to not take me back. "Beautiful just beautiful a girl working for honor with motivation. She has no regrets and intends to see this all the way until the end. We must not stop her from reaching her goal instead we must encourage her to complete it. No even better we shall assist her in completing her goal," Hibiki said giving his little speech while the other two were clapping behind him in amazement, leaving me confused and astonished. I was grateful that they wanted to help me out but I didn't want to trouble them any further. "Thank you for the offer but I'm sorry I'll have to decline I don't want to bother you guys," I said thanking them. "It's no bother at all we would be delighted to help out," Eve said with a smile. I got this warm feeling inside my chest and suddenly the idea of them coming a long didn't seem so bad anymore. "Thank you so much I promise I won't mess up," I said bowing my head. "Aww she's so cute," they all said hugging me tightly. All this talking we had done made time go by fast and before we knew it we were there. "I guess the first thing we should do is go check in with the person who sent out the request," I said getting out of the train. So we walked over to the mayor's office to tell him that we will be taking the mission. While we had our small chat Ren went out to get some info on the missing women and what the kidnappers might look like. We left the office and went into town to meet Ren in the middle of the city in plaza by a statue. "What did you find out," Eve asked as we got there. "The young women being kidnapped are around Yuki's age which is 14 I believe. Every once in a while they do kidnap a women in their early 20's. This has been going on for a month or so. The kidnappings usually occur after dark. They would break into people's houses but there would be signs of forced entry or kidnap the young women if they were out walking. "That's all I could get for now," Ren said explaining the information to us. "It's not much but there it's enough to where we can take action. For now let's go find some place to stay and then we can discuss our plan," I suggested.
We walked for about 15 minutes until we found a small inn that was near where the women are said to have disappeared if they were out at night. We decided that there would be two people to a room since there were only two rooms, the parings were me and Eve and Hibiki and Ren. I went out back for a while to do some thinking. It was absolutely beautiful out there. There were trees with cherry blossoms that were just starting to bloom, and a tiny stream in the middle that made everything seem so calm and quiet. "I wish you were here to see this with me mom. I promise to do my best and make you proud," I said watching one of the flowers bloom. I was sitting on the edge of the porch just thinking. "It's nice out here isn't it," Eve said walking up next to me. Tears had begun to form in my eyes so I quickly rubbed them to wipe the tears away. "Oh yeah... it's really pretty," I stuttered trying to compose myself. "Is something wrong," he asked sitting next to me. "No I'm fine I was just doing some thinking that's all," I said telling half the truth. "You miss her a lot huh," he said with a soft caring voice. "Yeah I do very much sometimes I think it's just a dream and then I'll wake up and she'll be there by my bedside with her beautiful comforting smile," I said with tears flowing down my cheeks. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry I didn't know it was such a sensitive subject," he said looking at the ground apologizing. "No it's ok I don't mind it just brings back a lot of memories," I said wiping my eyes. He scooted over closer to me and put his arm around me. I was taken aback I wasn't expecting something like this 'Is he trying to make me feel better or is it something else,' just the thought of it made me blush. "It's ok to cry you know. Everyone cries once in a while. Crying does make us stronger not weaker, it shows that we accepted what happened and that we promise to never let it happen again. That is what makes us strong and you have to be determined to accomplish anything," he said reassuring me. I looked at him with eyes full of admiration, no one had ever said something like that to me before. I didn't even know what to say I was a complete loss for words. "It's ok if you wanna cry I'll be here for you if you ever need someone when you feel lonely or sad," he said holding me tighter and bringing me even closer to him. I couldn't hold my emotions in any longer and I suddenly burst into tears. "I'm so sorry you must think I'm such a child," I said sniffling. "That's not what I was thinking at all I really think you're a very strong girl. You just need to learn how to depend on others once in a while. These people can help you actually become stronger you don't have to be alone and do things yourself anymore," he said. "Thank you Eve," I said with gratitude. I leaned my head against his shoulder and he placed his on top of my head. He gave me this sense of warmth and comfort that I wanted to stay with him forever. "How adorable you guys look great together," Hibiki said walking up behind us. My face instantly became red like a tomato and I got up quickly. "No no it's not that you got it all wrong. Its just that.. we were just... we uhh," I was stuttering so bad that there was no way I was going to be able to convince him now. "We were talking and she got a little tired and I told her that she could rest on me," Eve said saving me. I looked at him in shock I wanted to tell him that he didn't have to save me but I decided against it. "Ok if you say so but I'll be keeping an eye on you two lovers," Hibiki said walking back inside. "I'm so sorry you had to bail me out its just that the words got stuck in my mouth and they wouldn't come out," I said with guilt. "You don't have to apologize the situation was easy to misunderstand," he said making me feel better. "Yeah I guess you're right. Now let's go inside so we can come up with a plan," I said walking inside. He got up and came in right after me.
