Boat Ride to Destiny

This is my second chapter so...wooohoo! Anywho i just wanted to say that i might not always be able to update often so..., yeah but hey it is what it is so let's get on with the story shall we!

As Lucy swung open the doors to the guild she was hit dead in the face with a chair. She groaned "aughhh..." as she hit the floor of the guild with a thud. It wasn't really unusual for furniture to sail across the room on Fairy Tail. It typically just meant that Erza wasn't around to stop the main two idiots of Fairy Tail (Natsu and Gray) from turning the pub into their battleground. Also there were others who started fights like Elfman and maybe occasionally Loke, but it was mainly the Fire Mage and the Ice Mage.

Mira rushed over to her friend." Lucy, are you alright" she asked in a sympathetic tone. Mira was always there to help Lucy feel welcome to the guild. Mira and the guild had even risked their lives in the Phantom Lord deal. Mira had always been nice to her and everyone, that's why she liked her so much. Lucy and Mira were pretty close friends and Lucy looked up to white-haired mage, she was her role model.

"I'm alright," Lucy stated as she got up." Oh! I just remembered what I came here for. I wanted to ask you if you heard the loud noises last night?" She asked scolding herself mentally for forgetting such an important matter.

" Uh, yes I did, in fact I heard from some people from the town that there was a commotion on Tenrou Island. They said that the Magic Council was there for two major criminals, whom were destroying towns," explained Mira in a worrisome voice. "And one of them was extremely powerful, but I'm not quite certain if it was all the truth or not. Towns people are known to bend the truth a bit sometimes."

Hearing that Lucy grabbed her bag, waved goodbye to Mira and started to head out. Tuning out the last part of Mira's sentence, not wanting to know it wasn't true. The blonde mage wanted to believe it was true, so that she could pretend this was her own little quest. She decided not to ask Levy for info since Mira enlightened her on exactly what she wanted to know. Lucy knew that this was her chance to prove that she was strong and that she could try a mission alone, not that she really cared but it was merely something that had crossed her mind.

Lucy walked to a local store, before making her way to the harbors, to get a boat. As she walked inside of the store she noticed some pegs and rope and decided to get some to help if she need to prepare a tent to stake out or something like that. She knew she didn't need the actual tent itself because she came somewhat ready and had already gotten that and some snacks, water, a compass and a map. Lucy didn't like being unprepared, so she packed for the occasion.

After, she had picked out the extra supplies she needed for her trip, she went to the man and gave him the money and set out to leave. She had a lot of space let in her bag, but she didn't know why it felt so heavy. She brushed her thoughts aside when she saw a boy with pink hair walk into the store, along with a girl with white hair. He waved and smiled, and being polite she waved back. "Hi Lucy" said the boy name Natsu Dragneel. "Hi Natsu" said Lucy trying to be nice. Lucy waited until they had walked away to shop for their own needs,as soon as they did she started to leave then Lucy sighed and left, she felt empty and sad that Natsu was dating some else.

She walked all the way to the harbor, and asked a sailor man for a boat. The man, not knowing who she was said" These harbors are closed now; there is something dangerous happening on Tenrou Island that we can't let any citizens go. Sorry but..."

"I know!" Lucy interrupted." I'm a Fairy Tail mage. I have come to help." Lucy didn't like to use her guild name like a passport, but if it was important she most definitely would.

"Fairy Tail! Well, then of course you can go to Tenrou, it might just help your reputation…" said the man with a hint of sorrow and regret in the last part. He knew something that the Fairy Tail mage didn't, something that would hurt them later on.

Lucy felt tingly inside. 'Is this what it feels like being the hero' she asked herself. She gladly accepted a boat and hoped inside. While rowing to the island Lucy couldn't help but wonder what the man meant when he said, "it might help your reputation…" Brushing her thoughts aside she kept rowing until the island was insight. She looked over at the horizon and noticed the gradient sunset.

I hope this chapter was interesting enough for you, and if it wasn't I will keep trying my best. I always want to write the best that I can. If you can give me some constructive criticism in the reviews i would be more than do you think Natsu was with when he had walked into the store? Well, actually its pretty obvious due to the amount of clichés on this site...anyway have a good guess in the reviews please! And also review and tell me what you thought of this chapter. Other than that remember to eat waffles, keep reading, watch Netflix and rate fairly. Buh-bye!
