Thank you all sooo much for sending me your OC's, I'll try putting them all in ASAP! :D Anyway, I won't bore you. Here's Chap 2.
Chapter two.
The sound of the forest's floor crunched underneath Onix's black knee boots. Lucy had been given the task of watching out for enemies behind them whilst the Bluette read the map and walked forward.
"Are we there yet?" Lucy asked, her feet started to drag.
Onix spun around to face her new friend, "Does it look like it?"
"No" She moaned looking at her similar black boots, "It's just that it was supposed to be a one hour walk to the house and it's ben about three"
Onix replied fast, "Look, do you want the map? Oh that's right! You can't read maps" Lucy had been moaning and groaning for the past half hour and it was starting to affect her.
They continued their journey when Lucy stopped and tapped Onix on the shoulder.
"D'you hear that?" She asked, her eyes turning into slits as the noises of the woodland drifted towards them. Then, a different sort of crunch echoed.
Onix pressed her back against Lucy's as they turned in a circular motion to make sure no one tricked them The crunch occurred again, again and again.
"What do you think it is?" Onix asked, her frame shaking from fear. Lucy, whom was in a similar state of panic didn't answer and instead drew one of her Gate Keys from her belt only to have it grabbed away.
"What are you doing?" She hissed towards Onix.
"If it's an animal you don't want to fight it like this" The bluette replied gripping the gold key harder than before, "Keys will always lose to wild, magically enhanced creatures" She explained.
Lucy scowled at that piece of information. No wonder she lost to that over sized freak-of-nature a year ago. She closed her eyes copying the girl pressed up against her.
Onix was the first one to open her black and gold flecked eyes and took off at a run.
"C'mon!" She yelled back to the dazed (and now sleepy) Lucy.
The two girls leaned on a tree for a break. They had lost whatever had been following them a few miles back and had decided to take a timeout.
Onix let out a sigh of relief, "Gosh! We could've been mincemeat!"
"Tell me about it" Lucy repeated the action and stretched her arms, throwing them in the air, "It was kind of fun though"
"Huh?!"
Lucy gave a smile before giggling at the fish-face she had caused Onix to form.
A leaf landed on top of her head, forcing her to look up and their eyes widen. Sleeping on the branch above them was a girl. Her hair was a deep shade of black that had been given unreal curls. Her skin was spotless which made Onix huff.
Within moments, the black haired girl's eyes fluttered open, revealing orbs of dark green. It took her a few seconds before the two people below registered in her mind.
Startled, she retracted, "Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my forest!"
Lucy flinched at her raised voice, "Lucy Heartfilia and this is my friend Onix Black"
"We're on our way to RavenCreak" Onix explained earning an eyebrow raise from the other girl.
"Well you must be idiots because you're traveling in the wrong direction"
Onix yelled a "What!?" and scrambled to find the map, she raised a hand to the back of her neck, "Woopsie-daisy! It's been upsidedown the entire time. Haha?"
Lucy face palmed then looked to the mysterious girl who had a faint smile gracing her light pink lips.
"Now, who're you?" The only blonde asked.
The girl's attention snapped back to the brown eyes that had a certain depth of depression in them, "Anya. Anya Belle"
"Well Anya, what are you doing here?" Onix questioned, coming out of her shame faze.
A flash of pain was evident on her face as it twisted her pretty face into one of secrets, "I live here"
Lucy pondered her explanation, knowing there was more to it than that. Giving Anya the benefit of the doubt, she accepted it...unlike Onix.
"There's got to be more than that"
Anya smirked, "Says the girl who can't read a map"
"She can't either!" Onix exclaimed pouting and dropping to the floor cross legged.
Our favourite blonde smiled, "Don't you get bored here? By yourself?"
Anya's eyes darkened even more, "I don't have choice!" And with that, her body disappeared in a soft light. Lucy blinked as Onix moved around the tree trying to find the missing girl.
"How'd she do that?"
They hadn't found Anya again and decided to get out of the never ending forest.
"Where do you think she went?" Lucy asked mystically, looking up at the dusk sky.
"No clue" Onix replied kicking a small pebble absentmindedly.
"You sound as if you don't care"
Onix turned to look at her friend, "If she wan't us to know, she would have told us. Simple as"
Lucy nodded at her explanation and froze when the noise from earlier came back, "Onix?"
"Yeah, I know" Her blue-haired friend backed herself up to the blonde and connected their backs.
"Don't...move"
"No...shit"
Something black and fading jumped out of the bushes beside them and began to circle around them. Onix tightened her grip on Lucy's hand. She could feel her heartbeat escalating at an unimaginable speed. What was going to happen to them? Neither of them knew how to fight this thing!
An idea swarmed into Onix's head, quickly and discretely, she slipped a hand into Lucy's Gate Key pouch and withdrew a boring, rusted bronze key. Lucy had noticed and whispered a faint, "It's a spare. I can't call anyone with that!"
Onix made the key's lock side face her palm and with a swift movement. Made it drive into her skin. The pain that was normal to Onix would have made Lucy scream out in pain. The blood that trickled out of Onix's body ran down the key like a snake and was slowly turning it black. The energy that pulsed from it made Onix's knees give out, aggravating the animal that was hunting them.
"Onix!" Lucy was down on her hands and knees.
"Take it and use it" Onix instructed handing the black and red item over to its true owner.
"I can't use it. It's empty" Lucy reminded.
Onix turned her head slightly with a smile apparent, "Not any more"
Frightened, Lucy took the item and was about to call out whatever was inside when a unnerving roar come from behind them. Getting up, Onix stared in the direction of the noise. A sleek, black and green lioness stood with pride and anger, staring straight at the black shadow.
"Move before I hurt you" It spoke without moving it's mouth. At first Lucy marveled at the creature before thinking Wait it talked!?
With a shrill yelp of pain, the other animal turned and ran.
"Thanks" Onix spoke out looking at the magnificent creature.
"I see you've finally decided to read the map correctly"
Lucy's eyes widened, "Anya?"
A dim light enveloped the animal, replacing it afterwards with the familiar black-haired girl they'd met before, "The one and only"
Anya was in the middle of the trio as she showed them the way out.
"So why do you two want to go to RavensCreak?" She asked keeping her walking rhythm in time with the others.
Onix smiled, "We're going to set up a guild"
Lucy nodded, "Yeah. A place where freedom is given and a every one is needed"
"That's sounds nice" Anya said, her eyes misting over.
Onix looked at her, "You never answered my question properly. Why are you here?"
Anya's bangs covered her eyes as she spoke, "That's none of your business"
"Well, considering we're friends-" Lucy started.
"Who said we were friends?"
"You just saved us from some creepy shadow thing. I think that counts us as friends" Onix answered.
"Exactly!" Lucy continued, "Well, like I said. Since we'e your friends, it is our business"
Anya rolled her eyes, "Are you sure you want to know?"
The two girls nodded.
"Fine. I was born out of wedlock. Both of my parents didn't want me, so on my fifth birthday...they left me here" Anya's voice was venomous, "I picked up how to survive from the animals that surrounded me on a daily basis and managed until I was eight, that was when Sir came"
"Sir?"
"He was a hunter who came here often. Anyways, he taught me what to eat, what not to eat and how to cook. He even taught me how to use my magic properly" Anya explained, a ghost of a grin on her face.
"Where's he now?" Lucy asked naively.
Anya glared, "Five feet under the ground. he died when I was fourteen thanks to those shadow creatures you just saw"
Out of the corner of her eye, Onix gazed at the girl next to her. Having to live on her own for so long reminded her of what happened to herself.
"I had a family, but they never were mine" Anya added after a few minutes of silence.
"Me too" Onix replied, giving a sad smile, "Mine were there, but not for me"
Lucy's eyes widened when the end of the forest came into view, "Guys check! We're nearly out!"
"Awesome" Onix giggled, but stopped when she saw Anya's face.
"So you're leaving too, huh?"
Slowly, Onix nodded. Anya gave a bitter laugh, "It's better to be alone you know. That way no one can hurt you"
"That's true" Lucy spoke, "Except you hurt yourself"
Onix spun around so she was in front of Anya, holding her by the shoulders, "How would you like to have a family again?"
The black-haired girl blinked, "What?"
"No parents. Just sisters...us" Lucy added, knowing where Onix was heading with this. Anya's eyes were becoming slightly teary.
"Anya Belle" The bluette said formally before it dissolved into a tone Lucy couldn't understand, "Would you join us and become our permanent sister?"
Tears streamed down the girl's face, her hands over her mouth. She nodded, "Please"
Hope you guys enjoyed it! :D
1) I wanted to know if you wanted the Tournament to happen quickly or if you want me to postpone it for awhile as I introduce the other OC's.
2) How about flashes to Fairy Tail every now and again or do you only want Lucy, Onix and now Anya's journey?
3) Any ideas for their new guilds name?
Thanks for reading!
