There was a time Laxus and I were tied to the hip, though being twins would do that to ya.
I was his fraternal twin sister. We did everything together when we were younger. Where one was, the other was usually not that far behind. He was just a normal kid who enjoyed playing games, laughing and over all having a good time with his peers. There was a time I thought nothing could shake the bond we had as a family.
Than one day that all changed. We had been playing with some of the guild kids, a normal day when dad decided to take Laxus and leave me behind. I had asked if I could go, but he shut me down; demanding that I stay here. That it wasn't something a little girl could do, and I would just get in the way of their work. So I obeyed – staying with my grandfather and playing with the guild kids by myself. It hurt, that my own father didn't want me to be around with whatever they were doing and I had wanted to know why. Why I was abandoned, but Laxus got all the attention?
Three days past before I saw him again. He had almost seemed scared when dad dropped him off beside me, claiming to be going on a job. I felt a shift in our twin bond and demanded to know what was going on, but Laxus wouldn't tell me. It was like he was too scared to open up – like he didn't want me in on whatever big secret that dad forced him to stay quiet with. A few years went by and he started growing cold to me and the other kids, wanting nothing to do with us. Dad would take him out every now and then to do some training; leaving me alone at the guild.
I was starting to feel left out and depressed, and I think it showed. The kids grew more attached to me, some of the kids that I had never even talked to befriended me. While I was still sad that Laxus had pretty much up and abandoned me – I had made some new friends. Ones I was sure I wouldn't have made if he wasn't spending so much time with father.
A few more years went by and I had grown close to the guild kids. Often we would go and train together; me learning Storm Magic. I had noticed Laxus had learned a form of Lightning Magic and I had hoped to impress him. I wanted to match, we were twins after all.
I was horribly wrong.
Apparently there was a real reason why dad never wanted me to go on their outings. I watched with wide eyes as my own grandfather kicked my dad out of the guild. I had never seen my grandfather so angry, especially at his own son and my father. It was then I realized why I was never allowed on those trips, and why Laxus had never wanted to tell me what was going on.
By then though, it had already been too late.
While I was hanging out with the guild kids and growing stronger with them, Laxus had been growing stronger on his own. He had started to crave power instead of comrade-ship, becoming cold towards everyone in the guild. Some people had said he was going through a rebellious stage, but I knew father had done something to him that made him change. Whatever dad had done to him did more damage than what could be fixed by simple kin-ship. I would go on jobs with the guild kids and he would bring back more kids to join the guild, forming a team with them. It broke me that he would rather be with a group of strangers than his own family, but being with my new friends helped me forget about the boy that he had become.
AN: Now I know what you're thinking. "But June-sama, you already have another fanfiction and you're only a few chapters in!" I know! I know! But this fanfiction was eating at me to write it and keeping me awake, so I thought fuck it and started to write it! I love the concept, I love this idea, I love everything about it. And I've been wanting to do this for a while as well.
This goes with the other fanfiction. This is going to be posted whenever I have a chapter wrote for it.
